» - The Western Theater Company are at the Laclede Hotel. Joe Burcham and the local are the prettiest men in Butler. \ Prof. Taylor’s entertainment was simply magnificent Saturday night. Jessie Leonard is the happy father of a newly born ebony colored baby. Mr. M. A. Maynard is reported better to-day. We hope to see him out soon again. A large crowd heard Elder Ried on Sunday. His sermon was im- pressive and logical. Jay Gould and party passed the Butler depot on a special train of five coaches about 1:30 Monday afternoon, Marshal Morgan says there is a stray street prowler in town. She is a large animal of the cow tribe, muly and has no horns either. Mr. Moses Jones’ mercantile house near the depot is being plas- tered. Mr. J. will get his stock into it, in about ten days. The banquet given the Fort Scott, St. Louis & Chicago surveying party at Rich Hill Saturday night last is said to have been a grand affair. We stopped in this morning and took a peep at the hotel register for the Laclede, and think it one of the toniest tricks of the kind we ever laid our peepers on. SEs Miss Nettie Adams, a splendid actress, will play in Butler this week. If she is good looking she is a cousin of ours. If she ain’t, she is not our kiasfolk. That's certain. We think we teel the presence of an aching void in our bread basket. It hasn’t been so long either since we ate supper. ’Twas only last Friday evening. but then- . The members of the Christian church are earnestly requested to be present at the Wednesday night prayer meeting, as the subject of em- ploying a pastor for the current year will be acted upon. Some ot the wiseacres predict a money panit soon. Well one of them things won’t hurt us much. We were struck by one of the darned things in our childhood,: and have been panicing ever since. We are used to’em. So just let the panic np. a me ‘Sis, I say sis,’ said a precocious urchin to his sister, ‘Jim Simpkins didn’t make much off of you when he bit your lips, you bit his’n some, too, didn’t you sis?? ‘Go dar- ling and drive the Shanghai hen out of the cowcumber patch. Go, quick darling.’ Mrs. Russell, the wite ot J. H. Russell who killed Smarr some weeks ago in Kansas City. has been muchly married. It is reported of her that she has been married twelve times in the last twelve years. There is enterprise for you, ladies. The girls, and especially the old maids, had better stand in with Mrs. R. and learn some ot her husband-catch- ing tricks. What think ye? At the bridge contract letting on Saturday last by County Surveyor, Marshal Wolfe, Mr. M. D. Whitter- idge’s bid to build approaches to the Bone Fork bridge and to build the bridge complete southwest of Butler was accepted. Also the bid of Mr. A. D. Jones to take down the Island bridge and that of Mr. A. Hockerffer to build the grading on the range line south south of Bell’s mill were accepted. Mr. Austin of the Record says he really believes that we would be glad if Christmas was like a pcor man’s lease, from one year’s end to another. We should smile. Why shouldn’t we ? When we look back and think of the turkey, chicken, cold ham, oysters, pies, cake and candy we got away with during the holidays, mingled feelings of sorrow and delight are excited in our great big grateful heart, and then to think all these goodies didn’t cost us a red. Oh me, ain’t we glad that we are the local editor of the booming Times. * ‘Take Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral to stop your colds, coughs and bronchial affect- ions before they ren into consumption that you can not stop Mrs. Jeffress drew the fifteen dol- lar prize Saturday mght last at Prof. Taylor’s entertainment. Luck is a fortune, says the old proverb. See here, Mr. City Marshal, a large bob tailed dorg lost his grip Satur- day night, and is now sleeping the sleep that knows no waking. His remains lay just opposite Ben Canter- bury’s and Ben. thinks them likely to become orderiferous, You had better remove all that’s left ot Touse, hadn’t you? The girls would all be pretty it they would only leave of that detes- table banging ot their hair. The cu- taneous substance ought not to be banged so much. Our Jemima set in on that heathenish fashion once and one day we said something about a divorce, she dried up on that business quick, do you hear us. We understand that Mr. J. Scud- der after long years of connection with the Bates County Democrat seyered iton Saturday last, by selling his entire interest in the Democrat establishment to Mr. N. A. Wade, his old partner. We are sorry to part with Mr. Scudder. Inhis retira- cy from the field of journalism, we lose a valuable colaborer, a clear- headed, vigorous writer and a clever gentleman. Mr. Wade will wade alone in the future. Good bye,Scud. Old man C. W. Wolt gave his son James money with which to buy a coat. He come to town and went inte--the mercantile house of M. S. Cowles & Co., when the brilliant thought struck him that he would sink the money the old man had given him and appropriated a coat ot Mr.Cowles & Co.’s, whichhe did, and concealed it, where it was found and returned to the house from which it was taken. Sshortly after the return of the ‘coat the young man visited the city again and stole the same identical coat a second time for which he was arrest- ed and brought before Esquire Can- non on Saturday last, pleaded guilty and was fined in the sum of twenty dollars. That young man is full of enterprise. We are shouting. A man by the name of Breedlove from Davis county this State, was in the city on Saturday Jast in search of his wife who had skipped out with another fellow sometime about the first of September last, taking with her, three children, the truits of the marriage of himself and his faithless spouse. The man seems extremly anxious to recover possession ot the children, but indifferent as to the fate of his Hannah Jane. If our Jemi were to tumple to the racket of anoth- er fellow anc > with him. we would just Ict her s then set up th if we wards, us of the expense incident to the sup- a kids and all, and nks to the fellow should ever meet him after- for his kindness in relieving porting of a wife and three children. Them’s our sentiments on that sub ject. A large crowd was in attendance at the young people’s meeting at the Christian church Sunday. After the usual service, the meeting was converted into a business meeting; called by Mr. Maddox. R. W. Daniels was appointed Chair- man of the meeting. and B. F.

The Association is not sectarian, and all the young people of the different churches are cordially invited to be- come members.

Levy Moler was in the city to-day, Monday. —Mrs. Shedd nee Miss Nellie Wheeler, of Chicago, is visiting her parents in this city. —Mr. A. F. Wyard went to Hen- ry county Saturday night after Mrs. | Wyard and returned Monday. —Capt. Newberry was in the city Monday. He reports all things lively and the goose hanging high. —Mr. Thomas Bridgeford, of Nevada, is in the city visiting his relative, Mr. W. B. Bridzeford. He reports his town as thriving. —Prot. Dutcher, of the Warrens- burg Normal School, and President of the Butler National Bank, was in the city Monday attending a meeting of the stockholders. —Mr. Marion C. Prior ot Apple- ton City took out a license on Satur- day last to wed Miss Laura M. Hol- ston of Butler. The wedding took place Saturday at the residence of Mr. McConnel’s. —J. A. J. Moore, E. C. Park, Henry Kaune, Capt. Tygard and several others whose names we did got get, left Tuesday for Kansas City to attend a meeting of the grand commandery of the Knight tem- plars. Dell Welton devoted Sunday to burning up his old love letters. We will make a bonfire of ours next Christmas that will light up the country for miles around. However, we intend to keep a few of the vast number we have on hand, say twelve hundred or more, for Sunday read- ing, to cheer us when we get old. The city dads are having the pub- lic well at the southwest corner of the square fixed up in good order. That’s all hunkey, dads. Mr. Tracy has had a platform put down in front of his livery stable fifteen feet wide and fifty feet in length. Hump yourself, old boy. The people of the Bates county National Bank are having a sand stone pavement put down on the east and north sides of their Bank building. Let the good work go on. We tear very much that the Har- ris railroad project under the com- mand of the J.-D’s local will be like the French General’s. A march up the hill and back again. The stockholders in all National Banks are required by a law of Con- gress to elect officers on to-day. The Butler Banks in obedience to that law will hold elections to-day. The Holden Enterprise 1s willing that Warrensburg shall have a jail now and a court house at some time in the future, but insists that Holden have the C & A. branch. How magnanimous. We are told that Jack Gipson managed to bridge over Sunday on one large ham, twu dozen biscuits, eleven cups ot coffee and other things in proportion, and he wasn’t feeling right well either. C. T. Tracy purchased of Shobe & Co. twenty-eight head of mules on Monday, making in all ninety head of the decendants of Mr. Ba- jaam’s saddle nag he has on hand. Tracy is the boss mule man. H. G. Thomas, of whom tion was made some days having been arrrested tor larceny of w logs, appeared before Squire Cannon on Monday in compliance with his undertaking and faced the music, when Silyers, for the state, men- as ago caved in and dismissed the case. Tom did right. There was one ot those good old fashioned dances coppered with an elegant supper at the residence, of thatclever energetic manC.B.Lewis’ Monday night. In one set we un- derstand, that will Hanks, Philander Morgan, Monroe Tucker and anoth- er old cuss, took the rag off the bush. Ancient individuals are becoming paintully impudent in Butler now-a- days. Hanks looks stoved up this morning.

One of the most touchingly beau- tiful tributes to a dead baby that has fallen under our notice for many a day is from the editor of the Tele- graph Operator: “Baby is dead!’’ Three little words passed along the line; copied somewhere and soon forgotten.

Eyes that yesterday were bright and blue as skies of June drooped to-night white lids that no voice can ever raise again. Two soft hands, whose rose leaf fingers were wont to wander loving- ly around mother’s neck and face, loosely holding white buds, quietly folded in confirm rest. Two seft lips, yesterday rippling with laughter, sweet as woodland brook, falls gay as trill of forest birds; to- night unresponsive to kiss or call of love. A silent home—the patter of baby fect forever hushed—a cradle unpressed little shoes half worn —dainty garments, shoulder knots of blue to match those eyes of yes- terday, folded with aching heart “way.

And pet it cannot harm us now and then to give a tender thought to those for whom our careless pen- stroke is preparing such a weight of griet. Mother Shipton’s Suecessor Starts in Business.

Pa-ties wishing monuments or tombstones can see samples recently erected by them in the Robinson burying ground west of the city.

The City Council allowed the ac- count of Mr. Wiliiam Page for thirty cents for blanks he had bought of Dr. Pyle a year or so ago. Clase collection, that. Boss Pace has ordered two panes of plated glass seven and one-half by eleven and one-half feet to put in the front of the lower story of the Chris- topher room. This will make a solid glass front from the pavement tu the first story on either side of the door. Gosh Jemima won’ t that look stylish. It is reported in the city to-day that Mr. John Bell, brother of Mr. James Bell ot New Home township, was murdered by Indians or Mexicans near Elpaso Texas, a few days ago. Mr. Bell had on his person at the time a large amount of money. Some of the murdered man’s relations have gone to the scene of the tragedy. One of the things that the Nevada Daily Democrat would like to know is, what 1s the next boom the Butler Ties will start? Why the Times has nothing to do with Butler booms except to record them. These booms slide right down on our city with the ease and facility that a mud turtle slides off of a log. The boom that struck us to-day is the establish- ing of a first class Turkish bath house. We will inform the Demo- crat daily of the booms that take root in the queen city of the South- west, CONSUMPTION CURED.
