Subscribe for the Timxzs now, as the ‘campaign has opened and you will lose something. *Squire Meek, who has been con- fined to his home by a severe attack ofsckness since his return trom Colorado, we are glad to state, is up and out again. The north warders seem to have settled upon Badgley and McVeigh for aldermen. Both good men,both young, both competent and toth would make wide-awake, enter- posing aldermen. In Chnton, Friday night last, John Royston shot and mortally wounded Lewis Collins and slightly wounded Al. Fisher. All the parties were colored. Royston had just joined the church and the trouble grew out ot the boys chaffing him about his teligion. Hon. Jno. T. Smith, a prominent Democratic attorney of Butler, who tried the Williams divorce case for the defendant, in connection with , Judge DeArmand, Tuesday, return- ed home Wednesday morning. The Bates courty attorneys won their _emse.—Henry County Democrat. Misses Elza and Kate Tucker,who have .been visiting relatives and friends: in Boonville for the past three months, returned home Friday. Saturday in company with Misses . Ettie Denney and Nellie Morrison gave the Timxs office a pleasant call. Ah exchange says ‘‘adyertising is _ lil making love to a widnow; it " fannot be over done.” There are ~ lines in Hudibras, to the effect that “when you woo a maid, you must feign and he and flatter,” Butwhen You woo a widow, the poet contin- _ Wes, you must go the whole hog or 00 Rone. | The campaign has opened up in / earnest in this county and the candi- dates for the different offices are _ Setting right downto their ‘knitting.’ So far the boys: seem to be very | gentlemanly and courteous to one another and if there has been any » Mud throwing we have not heard of ' it. This is as it should be and we ate glad to see this trendly feeling _ existing between them. P Congressman Hurd has made ar- Tangements tor the display of the Signal service flags on the Central National Bank building at Boon- Wille, Congressman Stone has made Mrangements tor the display of the service flags over the whole- fale liquor house of Sherman Bro’s, Nevada.

Shobe, ot Shobe station, | | was up Monday and gave us a pleas- ant call. He says on account ot the strike and the miners being out of employment times are very dull in his town. He also said no coal was being shipped from the mines except over the Gulf road. Mr. Thos. Buck, ot Montrose,was in the city Monday and gave us a pleasant call. He informs us that the recent fire in that town damaged him and his partner to the amount ot $3,000 over their insurance. John- son & Buck, however, make a strong firm and have opened out in another house. Frank Lafollet, of Summit town- ship, claims the championship of having made the closest colections of any tounship collector in the coun- ty. But says the the people could not run after him tast enough to make him take the office again. Frank is a rustler and besides doing his duty as collector makes a star constable. The railroad news ail along the line is very encouraging. Sam’l Levy who was in St. Louis the fore part of last week, writes back to this office, that while there he failed to see Mr. Tiernan, who was absent trom the city, he talked to a number of the most frominent business men in the city and they ail assured him that the St. Louis & Colorado road would be built without delay. We understand that the township board of Mt. Pleasant township has made a settlement with C. C. Bassett and received seven thousand dollars worth ot old bonds at their face value tor the indebtedness. This money, it will be remembered, was paid Mr. Bassett by Mt. Pleasant township as at present bounded, hence these bonds as compromised belong to the new township and should be exchanged for new bonds, these new bonds sold and the money turned into the township treasury. For want of more finances the public schools of this city shut down the middle of last week, and the teachers walked out. We don’t know whether they belong to the Knights of Labor or net, but there is one thing apparent they do not in- tend to teach the kids how to shoot without getting paid forit. Weun- derstand the teachers are alt making arrangements to teach private school. It 1s too bad our public schools are compelled to close at the very time they should be running. We announce this week the name ot J. A. Wright, of this township,as a candidate for treasurer. Mr. Wright is one of the pioneers ot this county and no man has a wider ac- quaintance. He 1s an upright gen- tleman and if the democracy see fit to nominate him he will fill the office with satisfaction to the people and credit to himself. He is ademocrat trom birth and whether he succeeds or not he will be found in the tront rank fighting the battles of the grand old democratic party. Recently the local Stone syndicate adroitly managed to have the Knights ot Labor address a circular to Mr. Stone at Washington, asking for his efforts in behalf of labor on such 1m- portant questions as the opening ot Oklahoma and the Chinese question. This will give the tamous taffy dis- penser an opportunity to gush to the fullest extent of his magnificent powers in that hne. Such a letter may be expected at any moment.— Joplin Herald, It has *‘arove”’ and tor sentiment- al gush and taffy spread on a stick it takes the cake. S. P. Francisco of this city author- izes us to announce his name as a candidate for representative. He is a lawyer of recognized ability and is as well known perhaps to our people as any man in the county. His taith- ful stewartship as prosecuting attor- nev ot this county, and the manner im which he conducted some of the most important cases that ever came betore our circuit court, gave him a name and fame which tew young ;men_ enjoy. Sim is competent to , make this county an able representa- | tive’ should the democracy see fit to ‘ nominate him. City Nominating Convention. Notice is hereby given to the democratic voters of the city ot But- ler, that a mass convention will be held at the court house in said citv on the evening of March 25th, at 7 o’clock,prompt, to put in nomination candidates tor city officers, to be elected at the coming city election, April 6th, 1886. By order ot | | ComMiTTEE. S. M. Talbott of Elkh@rt was in the city yesterday on his way to Appleton City, on a business trip, Ben Hall, left for Kendall, Ham- ilton county Kansas, Tuesday to make it his future home. Mr. and Mrs. Hall have made many warm triends in this city since their resi- dence here who will be sorry to have them leave. Jas. Jeffress, who has been lying so seriously sick at his room and ot whom we made mention last week, died at 4 o’clock p. m. Tuesday just as we were going to press. Mr. Jeffress was 60 years of age and leaves a large family well provided for. The following prominent gentle- men from Kincaid, Kansas, took in the electric city Tuesday: E. Kin- caid, mayor, A. Blaker, D. A. Crocker, J. C. Mathews, J. L. Can- nahan, B. Rich, aldermen, and C. S, Atkns, police judge. Also M. Gaffeny, road master of the Emporia road, and W. H. Calef, auditor and paymaster. Mr. Wm. Bennett, of Madison county, Ky., who was visiting his old friend, Uncle Kit Harris, of Summit township, was in the city Friday. We found him to be a very interest- ing, clever gentleman. He started for home the first of the week, ac- companied by Miss Maggie Frank- lin, who goes to rejoin her parents in that state. T. Hiter Crockett submits his claims to the democratic convention as a candidate for prosecuting attor- ney. Col. Crockett is a young law- yer of acknowledged ability, an el- oquent and forcible forensic speaker and a courteous, clever gentlemnn. If chosen py the democratic party as its standard bearer he would lead it on to victory, and sustain the ma- jesty of the law tearlessly and cor- scientiously. He would prove a ter- ror to the evil doers, and a pride ot law abiding citizens. The tuneral ot Col. J. A. Eppstein late postmaster at this place, and whose biography was printed last week in this paper, took place Satur- day morning, there heing services at the Thespian opera house, conduct- ed by Rev. Gustave Reiche, the G. A. R. attending in a body. Emil and Charlie Eppstein were present to attend the funeral of their father, A large concourse of sympathetic friends attended the last sad rites. The death of Col. Eppstein caused a protound sensation in Boonville and the proclamation of the mayor requesting the closing of stores and ‘business houses during the funeral services was general observed.— Boonville Advertiser Col. Eppstein was the father of E. M. Eppsteim, of this city. Judge DeArmond, who was in at- tendance in an important case in cir- cuit court Tuesday, left for leffer- son City yesterday morning, to as- sist Attorney General Boone in ar ranging the brief in the Hannibal & St. Joseph railway case. Judge DeArmond is one of the special council in this case, which will come up for trialin the U.S. Supreme court at Washington probably the lat- ter part of April. Over ahalt million dollars are involved. The State is fortunate in having the services of so able and incorruptible lawyer as Judge DeArmond, who ranks at the top ot the bar in the State. Judge DeArmond’s name has been men- tioned in connection with the judg- ship ot this circuit, but to our re- porter, when broached on this mat- ter, he said: ‘‘I may see you later,’’ which, we suppose, means that he may be, or may not be, a candidate. —Henry County Democrat.
