WHAT THE GOVERNOR SA1S.
Governor Crittenden Exprease & Him
teif on the Frank James
Business.
In a recent interview with a Re
publican reporter, Gov. Crittenden
talked as follows in reference to the
rumor of negotiations now pending
concerning Frank James' pardon :
In response to questions the Gov
ernor stated that he was surprised
at the mere bosh some of the papers
were publishing concerning the mat
ter ; that he has not offered a pardon
to Frank James through Mr- Haire
or anyone.else ; a pardon could not
he wanted before conviction and he
makes no rash promises ; that he has
never received a line from Mr. Haire
in regard to a pardon or other iorm
of executive clemency in behalf of
Frank James; that he has not by
word or otherwise made propositions
to governors of other states asking
them to join him in extending execu
tive clemency to James. The gov
ernor states that Frank James has
never applied to- him for clemency
or pardon ; that when he desires a
pardon it is presumable he will ap
ply for it after conviction for some
othis crimes. Then he certainly
would have the same right as others
to ask such clemency.
When asked what course he would
pursue should a pardon for Frank
James be applied for, his excellency
replied: 4 'That is my Dusiness, and
when such application is muie I
-.- shall act as I please, regardless of
importunities or curses, and I wish
to state also that I think Mr. Haire,
provided he is correctly reported by
sensational papers, is doing much
' unnecessary and loose talk concern
ing the matter and pursuing an in
judicious course. The noted-bandit
. may have cause to pray deliverance
from such a friend, and further that
the words attributed to me by Haire
in an interview with a reporter of a
St. Louis evening paper, 'Let us join
in the noble effort to retorm this man,
and restore him to a peaceful and
hoiiorable citizenship,' were never
used by me to Mr. Haire or any one
, else.. ' But supposing , I had used
them is it not better to save and re
form than to forever "condemn and
punish? While the executive of this
state. I will ouraue such a course as
" will in rav estimation secure the eiv
forcemcnt of the law. and rrive full
security and protection to life and
property in the manner which to me
j seems wisest, and leave my adminis
tration to be iudsred by the result,
hilly believing that the people in
their sober second thouffht will
rueasuie all administrat'.on more by
. results than bv the effusions ot un
merited abuse poured out upon it by
an mimical and venal press; nor
will I be checked in that course by
the ravings of a tew sensational edi
tors whose patriotism iv alone meas
, uredby the number of their papers
daily sold."
The traveling correspondent of
the JSedaha Democrat, writing from
Butler under date of June 1st, pays the
following deserved compliments :
For State Senator in the Bates,.
Cass and Henry county district,
Judge Ballard, the present Repre
sentative of Bates county, i in the
field with a strong support. He is
a clever gentleman and a thorough
Democrat, and would make a capital
officer Judge Ballard voted tor the
minority report of the redistricting
bin. : His opponent is Dr. J. H.
BrinV of Clinton, a leading Demo
crat of Henry county.
Judge Levi Moler, who has so
able and creditably represented Bates
county in the Missouri House ot
Representatives is again m the field
for the same office. , Bates county
seems almost solid for him in every
section. He is a tried, true, able,
earless, agressive and progressie
Democrat, who has but few equals
and no superior in the State.- No
' man enioys a better political or legis
lative record, and certainly no man
has done more for Bates county.
Tudgx Moler has large and valuable
interests in the county, and his inter
ests are identical with the county-
Hence it is that he has scarcely any
opposition and will probaol y not
have any when the ticket will be
nominated.
r The Greenback party of Missouri
will soon put on the cloak of pvo
liibition to cover up its other " de
formities. '
Farmers and stock men. The
above is to your interest and should
be your enterprise, you can make
them a success on a failure, but we
hope you will show to the northern
counties, where said sales are a suc
cess, that Bates can sustain a stock
sale second to none in the state.
If the southwest is all that we claim
for her, hardly should we be behind
in an undertaking of so much inter
est. Confidence and work, are the
two things neccessary, and no man
can do it all. Do you take your
county papers? if not, subscribe at
once, then watch the stock column,
and use it to get the worth of your
money back, see if you can't add
something to it every month, either
under the head wanted or for sale,
then when sale day comes be on
hand whether as buyer or seller, or
neither, be theie, watch the sales
closely, see if they are conducted
honestly, see if the interest of both
buyer and seller are protected, then
if you think a stock company would
be better, 'organize and take com
mand, but let us give the first sale
on the 3rd Monday in June, a bigj
whoop and a loHg whoop. For
particulars, see your county papers
or call on the agent.

Mrs. Jesse James.
The widow of the noted outlaw,
since the "removal" of her husband,
has been so besieged by reporters
and publishers that, in selt-protection,
she has been compelled to publish a
sworn statement denying that she
has authorized the use ot her name
in connection with any pretended
history of her husband's life.
In this "connection it may not be
out ot place to suggest that persons
desiring to get at the facts of the
lives of all the great American high
waymen would do well to examine
Col. J. VV. Buel's famous "Border
Outlaws." which has just been re
vised and a new edition published
lrom new plates throughout, by the
enterprising publishers, Dan Linahan
&Co.,St. Louis. See advertise

Unnatural Obstructions. Certain tun
damental laws of nature are demanded
bv the human organism. As life re
quires constant and. regular action, there
Is neccessarily a continual wearing out
ot material and a corresponding accu
mulation of effete matter, which must be
thrown off through the. different chanels
of the system. This Is absolutely nec
cessary to a healthful action of the hu
man machine; but should the channels
of egress becmoe obstructed, or blocked
up, disease and suffering would be the
legitimate result. Nearly all females,
married or single, at stated times suffer
from the obstructions, leading to head
ache, leuchorrhoea, loss of appetite,
hysteria, prolapsus', loss of color, prostra
tion, emaciation etc. There is one rem
