The local ImfiinoHs men nr of the opiuiun that all our bank are Htrone and that normal conditions will he te- nuiied in a few dnjx. Elections will be held next Tiles dav in twelve Stolen. In six uf these Governors are to be fleeted Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland, Mississippi, Keutucky and New Jersey. lu hix other States New York, l'enusylvuuia, Nebraska, Ohio, Utah and Culi loruia minor State oftieers or inunieipal oflieei'H are to be elected. Prohibitionists and Socialists have tickets in all the States except Mis sissippi mid Maryland, and the Socialist Labor party has tickets iu Kentucky, Massachusetts mid New Jersey . The past week has been one of unusual siriiitrcncy in the financial world, closely bordering on a panic in New York, but the Secretary of the Treasury, J. Picruiont Morgan, J. 1). Rockefeller and n few other big financiers threw themselves in to the breach by furnishing the banks with (KJO.OUO or ?.'!(, (HIO.OOII in ready cash, and the banks began to safeguard them selves.by the substitution of clear ing house certificates to ward off a run on their cash reserves. The banks of St Louis and other large cities at once ndopted similar rules to protect themselves against un usual withdrawals, which might result injuriously not only to the hanks hut to the depositors:. It is doped that the crisis has been passed and that business will begin to move along iu its regular chan nels. There is a large demand just now for money to nrvp the crops, which accounts iu some measure for the stringency iu the big financial centers. THE GOVERNORSHIP. There is n little stir just now in the Democratic camp over who would be the most available man to nominate for Governor, and the situation may be said to be a little complicated. There aremauy good men who have been named in t'jis connection, and nil of them have some strong elements that commend them. At present there are three well known Democrats who are pronounced candidates Hon. David A. Hall of Tike county, cx-Congressinuu W . S. Cowherd of Kansas City, and former Attor ney Oeneral Edward Crow. An other pronounced candidate, who for some time has been urging his claims through his paper, is Representative H. F. Staple, law yer, farmer and editor of the Atch ison County Mail. There are others who may get into the con test, among them Hon. W. D. Vandiver of Cape (iirardeau, pres cut State Insurance Commissioner, and Judge James L. Fort of Stod dard county, Judge of the Twenty second Judical Circuit. Tlieie is n prevalent opinion ulso, which seems to be crystali?. ing among a large number ot thinking Democrats, that Congress man Champ Clark of Pike county should allow his name to be sub' inittcd as a candidate for Governor The question as to whether Mr Clarl: should run, or more properly 6peakiug, allow himself to be forced into the race, was submitted to Mr liatl the other day winie lie was iu St. Louis. Mr. Hall and Mr. Clark are both from Pike county and he promptly replied : If oil the other candidates will agree to withdraw from the race for (Jover nor and let Champ Clark have the Held to himself, I will be the Hint one to get out, and Mr. Clark will be elected by a record-breaking majority." Everyone who ia well informed knows the David and Jonathan re lationship between Mr. Clark and Mr. Hall; two truer aud closer friends perhaps never lived than these two men. Dave Hall is well and favorably known all over the State, nnd has some very stroug friends in every county who will stand by him faithfully. They like his democratic ways and admire his recognized ability as a lawyer aud incomparable campaigner. He has some claims on the party for the efllcieut work he has done, nnd if nominated would be elected as eas ily as any other man mentioned; yet considering the present polit ical condition, does it not seem that if Champ Clark will sacrifice his congressional position and be come a candidate, and the only Democratic caudidate for Governor, every possible chance for defeat will be removed? Mr. Kail's sug gestion will strike tin' average Democrat as a very generous at titude as well as one eminently loyal to his party, one that places party success and the triumph of Democratic principles above per sonal ambition. The Ti.mks has heietofore sug gested that in its opinion Champ Clark would make the strongest and most available caudidate for Governor that the Democrats could name, and this without prejudice to any of the honorable, men who have been mentioned in this con nection. The suggestion had iu view only the success of the party iu the Statu. Mr. Clurk is in no way involved in the factional feel ing in the party, and his eminent ability and fitness for the place would rally the enthusiastic sup port of every working Democrat. Iu declaring his expectation to approve the constitution of Okla homa and issue his proclamation admitting the new State, President Roosevelt said: "I do uot, how ever, mean by thut. that I endorse muny of tho provisions." That is uot surprising, for the Oklahoma constitution contains a number of wholesome provisions emphasizing the rights of the people aud of the State to control and regulate their owu local and internal affairs. This is directly at variance with Presideut Roosevelt's centraliza tion policy, which would give an elastic or doubtful construction to any provision of the Federal con stitution to meet the policy of his administration, however foreign it might be to a strict interpretation of that instrument. His ideas car ried to their logical conclusion would construe the most important provisions of the constitution out of existence and make it as unre liable nnd little to be depended upou as u Republican platform Saturday, Nov. 1C, is the day- set by President Roosevelt to issue his proclamation admitting Okla homa to statehood. The formal presentation of the constitution ndopted by the new State was made to the President last Monday by Governor Frantz and Justice Clay ton. Addressing his remarks di rectly to tho Governor, President Roosevelt said: "My expectation is to sign the Constitntinn . I do not, however, mean by that, that I eudorse many of the provisions. I simply consider it my duty under the enabling act." Further on be said that one or two new objections to the constitution had been filed which he bad not yet considered, but he did not wish to be misun derstood on this point, adding: "J wish you to understand, however, that the overwhelming chances are that I will issue the proclamation." After some discussion he then named the date given above for the issuing of the proclamation. Licensed to Mirry. October 23d, William Smith and Mini Ada Hulsey of Gumbo. liiih, J. J. David and Mri.

The Non-Catholic Lectures. The lectures which are being given by Fathers Knmlall and Crnno In the Opera House this week have proven instructive and interesting.

This Important question is rroeiving the attention of our citizens with in creased interest, anil it Is to be hoped the town aldermen will carefully eon. aider tbe matter in making new coo tracts. Farmingion is do longer i tillage for which a few comer street lights only aro required. It baa im proved more in the last few years than any town of its size in the Slate. Look at tbe miles and miles of granitoid pavements, not ouly on the mnin street through town but all over in different parts. See tbe tracks oo which the electric cars run, which have been such an important factor In tbo in crenro of Farmington's population by lid connection wl'h the great Lead Belt. 1 here is our telephone system, cnnneotliig more than a half dozen different towns, that gives poifect ser vice. With these few great advantages the lighting system has not kept pace, so therefore it should hurry to catch up. Arc lamps ought to be hung at every corner of the Court House. In addi tion to this, Columbia street ought to have aro lights from Lang & Brotbors M. oi M. Co. lo the M. K. Church, South, at least. For really effective illumination these ought to be hung at every street inlerseotioo. This is per haps the most traveled part of town, and wo believo it would be doing the most good to the grealon lot of peo ple, besides having the effect of setting off tho town to greater advantage, not only to tbe dweller therein but to the visiting public, whose good opinion we desire. Or, instead of following out one slreot, the arc lamps might be hung ut tho intersection, radiating from (he Court House in the several directions. I-or the strictly residence sections, ihe lynteiu of incandescent lamps is very effective, but in our towu the lighls nre too far apart, and there is no part of town which is uot growing and be ing built up and is entitled lu more lighls. There is no single expenditure which the city makes which benefits all the people as tho money spent tor lighting the city. Goucral street illumination must be regarded as an absolute necessity and essential to the safety of the communi ty safety of lite and limb as well as properly. The Town Board can show that it is progressive and up-to-date by considering the ronl neeils of tho peo ple and providing for more stiect light ing, by both uic and an increased number of incandescent lamps. The citizens not only want them, but they need them in eveir neisrhborhnod. Tlieu the Towu Board will have shown thut they understand the meaning uf the word I'mx.itiss. Notice to Hunters.

COURT DECIDED IN HIS FAVOR Cooper Fought to Retain Formula Which Has Made a Fortune. L. T. Cooper, the man who belleres that 90 ier cent of all 111 health of this KcnerUlon is caused by stomach trouble 1- fast winning a national faith In bis theory. Hie claim la now admitted by a surprising number ot people throughout the country, and he is paining new adhereota every day. While sneaking of his success In a recent Interview, Mr. Cooper said: "I believed ten year ago that any ono who could produce a formula that would thoroughly regulate the stom ach would have a fortune. When I got hold of this formula I knew with in six months that I was right, and that my fortune was made. I called the medicine Cooper's New Discovery, although I did not get up tbe formula. I have owned it, however, for over three years. I hare bad one lawsuit over It, which I won In the courts. When It was settled The Cooper Medi cine Company became the only firm In tho world that can prepare the medi cine. The preparation has sold like wildfire wherever Introduced. As I liare said before, it ia successful (im ply because it puts the stomach in perfect shape, then nature does the rest . There are any number of com plaints never before associated with stomach trouble thnt tho medicine bos alleviated In thousand of coses." Among statements obtained recently from uaeni of this medicine that Is arousing eu.-h universal discussion la. one from Airs. Emma Stanley, living In Chicago, at 713 Washington Boule vard, who wild: "Perhaps I had the moat complicated caso that Mr. Cooper had to deal with.. I was troubled for years with my ctomach. I consulted with doctors and took many patent medicine preparations without result. My stomach was in such a wretched shape that I could not enjoy a meal that I ate. "I was very nervous, and could hardly sleep; I had a roaring in my ears and dancing spots before my eyes. I felt very bad and weak. Then there) was a very sore spot at the pit uf my atomach that nearly set me wild. "I heard about the Cooper medicine and decided to try it I used four bot tles, and the improvement In my case has been really wonderful. My nerves have) been quieted, and I am so moch improved tlutt I feel like m now wo man. "I cannot say too much for these wonderful remedies,, for they have made me well." We Bell the Cooper medicines and consider them well worth a trial by any one afflicted with chronic stom ach trouble and its attendant diseases, i E. M. Lankman. OSCAR L. HAILE & CO., Farmington.
