She reports having ankly admit the The republicans fr. it tickét named Saturday to be one ot \ . a the strongest ever made in this coun- Me ty, and have no hesitancy in admit- ting that it will be elected by an in- creased majority. The booming Times is more than pleased with the nominations made Saturday, and takes pleasure im nail- ing to her mast head the name ot each candidate, and will lend every energy to elect the entire ticket. The men that now write their name Eli, are as tollows: J. H. Hinton, J. C. Hayes, Gent. West, Oscar Reeder, T. J. Harper, G. G. Glazebrook, Sam F. Hawkins, John H. Sullins, Thos. Boswell, A. Nep tune, Dr, Rice and J. W. Ennis. Monday morning we walked into the opera house and took a look at the chairs occupied by the delegates Saturday, and in the seat of each and every chair, we saw plainly stamped in unmistakable letters, these words : “Sacred to the memory of bossism.”” Jake Wright took his deteat hke a soldier and true democrat that he 1s. As soon as his opponent was nomi- nated he turned to the reporter and said, ‘‘put me down for Reeder, brid first, last and all the time.””? See his caré in another column.

No Cause 1s given for the rash act, except that he had been suffering extremely from nervous depression. He was a Mason in good standing and about §0 years ot age. The city council should give Jim McFarland a chance, and not push him so. He will get those three extra lamps up just as soonas he can. He has had the holes dug on Ohuo street for the past two weeks and the polls faid near by, and we feel sure he will get them in position shortly, it the counci! will only be merciful. The hardware store of J. L. Minor was entered from a rear window by one or more burglars last Monday mght, and valuables—consisting of knives, revolvers, etc., to the yalue of about $200--ubstracted thereirom.

We hope now that the convention is over and the ticket named, har- mony will reign supreme, and that the Democrat will tall into line and assist us in making the majority tor the whole ticket fifteen hundred The booming Times 1s anxious to place right over the head ot the roos- ter next November, ‘*Banner Vemo- cratic County of Southwest Missou- n.’’ It can be done easily enough if the Democrat’s shoulders are not too sore to pull well. A large and powertul pair of hor- ses attached to a buggy, took tright on Ohio street, near Wyatt’s lumber yard, about 6 o’clock Saturday eve - ning andranaway. They only made a few jumps when the buggy was lett in the street, a total wreck, and with the front wheels they came back on to the square, at full speed, and were stopped on the sidewalk 1n tront of the Arlington hotel.

The Bates County Republican seems to be extremely solicitous for the welfare of the democratic party of this county, The nub to the Re- publican’s anxiety is it wants to see a bolt, and if possible, the whole or a part of the ticket nominated Sat- urday defeated.

Last Wednesday evening a team hitched to a carriage and driven to the depot by the weeding party, be- came frightened at the approaching train and broke loose from the fence to which they had been tied near the depot, and, at brake-neck speed, came back to town The carriage was lett near the depot in a badly wrecked condition. Considerable alarm was at first entertained for the safety ot the young ladies who had been driven out in it, but it was soon learned that no one was in the ve- hicle at the time, which was a source ot much comfort to the anxious mothers. J. R. Walters, of Pleasant Gap township, who was in the city Mon- day laying 1n a supply of harness at Graves & Son’s, intormed a Times reporter that he had the misfortune to lose his barn and contents by fire Sunday morning. The barn was struck by lightning,and Mr. Walters, being over on Deepwater at the ; time,had no chance to save anything. The barn, which contained hay, oats, corn and numerous farming imple- ments, was a total loss and pretty W. Lucky tor ll loose in the pasture and none were injured.

Dooley, of Rich Hill, is undoubtedly the best organizer and parliamentarian in the county. He received his training in St. Louis politics and led a successful move- ment of young democracy against the old rings and cliques of that city. Saturday and did noble work for his candidates, Ever watchful and quick to grasp a point, he created terror in the hearts of his opponenis. Ailen Day, one of our best and most highly respected citizens died at his residence in this city Thurs- day at 2 o’clocx. of complications of diseases. 60 years, Mr. Day was aged about and has been a great sut- terer tor a long time and his death was neither a surprise to his family or friends. The funeral took place at 4 o’clock Friday evening and the remains were followed to Oak Hill cemetery by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives. He left a wife and three children to mourn his loss. D. A. Colyer takes his defeat like a man, and requests us to say for him that he was beaten by an honor- able gentleman, worthy of the trust conferred on him by the convention, thoroughly competent to fill the 1m- portant office of high sheriff and in every way deserves the unqualified support of the entire democratic party of this county. Mr. Colyer desires us to say further, that he will give Mr. Glazebrooke and the entire ticket his earnest support and solicits every friend he has in the county to do likewise. Mr. A. Heavlin, living 4 or 5 miles soutnwest of town, came to our office on Saturday seeking to learn the whereabouts ot the nearest madstone. Mr. Heavlin says that about tour weeks ago a strange dog cane through his neighborhood and bit several dogs, his being among the fest, since then several of the dogs showed signs of hydrophobia and were promptly killed, On Fri- day his dog, usually of a good dis- posiuon, became fractious and snap- ped two of his little sons, 5 and 3 | years of age. Mr. Li. is consider- ably frightened and says he will get his children to a madstone as soon as possible. The excursion of the G. A. R. post ot this city and county, to Pleasan- ton, Kansas, over the Emporia ratl- road, Monday, to be present at the decoration ceremonies in that place, was a grand success. Seven coaches were in waiting and in addition to the Grand Army boys and their fam- ilies, between three and four hun- dred ot our citizens took advantage ot the cheap rates and went along. The procession was headed by the Butler silver cornet band and with sweet music ard banmers flying they proceeded on their journey. It was a jolly crowd and we predict they had a splendid time. 2 | The Largest and Most Harm | A Ticket Pat in the Field That Strikes ot COUNTY CONVENTION, the convention announce names of the various candidates the different offic mious Eyer according to t order of business,and we recomme! that this be done without nominatr Held in Bates County. —— 0s oe | speeches, We reco nd that the vote by ballot, commencing with the e of Ming east ur Terror to the Opposition. cail © township and run west all the townships are cal the the by tee, \ le and met in Butler | the result announced by last Saturday to put in nomination | Chairman of each dele a county ticket. various townships Convention was called to order at | T.
