This paper can always be found on the | side of the people. Mr, Sam Price, an excellent gen- tleman and substantial farmer of Spruce township, was in the city last week. He says everybody out his way 1s well pleased with the ticket. \ B Crate Owens tells us that he still owns the fine stallion Wild Irish man. That he has declared all trades off, and still has a free and undisputed title to him. Sam M. Talbott, one ot the most popular young democrats and best workers in the county, wasin the city Monday and complimented the Tings.

Mr. H. has several acres of this fruit a and raised a big crop this season, and has disposed of them to very good advantage, The boys all took their defeat like men and, without a single exception, | are whooping up the ticket all along the line.

From present indications Cass county will put out an independent ticket against the regular democratic nominations. We are sorry to see this disaffection existing in the ranks of the party in our sister county. We hope Bro. MWawkins, of the Demo- , will be able to pour oil on the troubled waters and, ere election day rolls round, have all fresh cuts sewed up and old wounds healed over, and the patty as united in Cass as it is in Bates. Our enterprising merchant Lewis Hoffman, has bought this spring and now has stored away in his’ ware room on North Main street upwards of fourteen thousand pounds of wool, He is still buying all he can get and expects to run his purchase up to twenty thousand pounds betore the Mr. an enterpring young man and during the year succeeds in scattering con- season ends. Hoffman is siderable money oyer this county. The ‘Times wishes him abundant success. Uncle Billy McGhee, ot Shawnee township, was in the city on Friday, and tells us of the striking ot oil by his neighbor, Bird Billings, living ia Spruce township who was drilling for water. He struck gas in large quantities at the depth of S5 feet and at 110 feet struck oil. Uncle Billy says it is nearer to the pure coal oil than any he has seen tound in this county, burns readily and raises about 70 feet in the six inch hole. There 1s no doubt that oil will be struck in paving quantities in Bates county and Mr. Billings may have struck the bonanza. The Kansas City News of the 25th ult. has an article on ‘*Kanopolis.”’ It declares it to be a huge fraud. There is only one road to it, and no prospects that there eyer will be. It pronounces the scheme a huge fraud gotten up by eastern sharks to get money.—Adrian Advertiser. The Times referred to this wou- dv riul and mytl ica. town a few weeks ago incidentally in giving our read- ers a pointer where they could apply to secure choice corner lots, The Democrat has had very httle to say in regard to the matter since, so we presume our citizens took the advice of the Times and saved the:r wealth.

The Archie New Era is doing its best to incite the democrats ot Cass county to bolt the regular nominees of the party and put out an indepen- dent ticket.

The Harnsonville Democrat and Pleasant Hill Review are wast- ing valuable time and’space in puff- ing the little radical infant imto no- toriety. The following is an extract taken from a private letter written us by Wm. S. Mudd, deteated candidate for judge of the northern district. It was not meant for publication, but the sentiment so justly portrays the noble principles of the man and the manly way in takes his He made a most excellent member of the county which he defeat. would have ! He spent the day with relatives and triends in the | court, and the democracy ot Bates county will not forget him: “I think we have as good a ticket as was evey nomineted in Bates county, and I will use every effort to elect the whole ticket in November. Hope that none of the defeated candidates teel sore over the result.’’ Butler with a popuiation of be- tween five and six thousand inhabi- tants and four saloons, has no use tor a law order league, and very little use tor a marshal. Appleton City, with a population on this side of a thousand and no saloons must have a bad set of people, or their papers vould not be compelled to boast ot Sedalia being the first town in the country to orgamze a Law and Order League and Appleton the second. The good and law-a- biding citizens of Appleton who have thus banded themselves to- gether for mutual protection against the yile and wicked should have the sympathy ofthe country. We fear, however, the advertisement will not prove a seccesstul immigration boom. Sunday was childrens day at the Ohio street M. E. church. The in- terior of the building was most handsomely and elaborately decora- ted by the lady members for the oc- casion with appropriate mottoes made of evergreen and natural flowers, while twenty or thirty can- narie birds distributed about the room | chimed in with the choir in making merry the occasion and the large | audience welcome. The proceed- ings, presided over by Rev. R. R. Pierce, the pastor, were all very ap- propriate, plea ing the audience en- {tire. The speeches of the children were all good, and to compliment one and not all who took part would be doing the little ones an injustice that the Times will not be guilty of. At the church again crowded to suffocation, with school children and spectators, and an en- night was tire new and most interesting pro- gramme presented, the rays of | hght from the chandalers reflecting on the decorations gave the room even a more lovely appearance than it presented in the morning.

Suicide. Carl Tabor, a young man aged 18 years, committed suicide at Adrian on last Tuesday by taking ten grains of morphine, He was studying medi- cine with Dr. Tuttle and consequent- ly was tamilar with the Doctor’s office. It is supposed that he took the tatal dose at about half past 11 o’clock in the forenoon, as Dr. Tuttle noticed that he was, as he supposed, sleeping quite soundly on a lounge in his office at about noon. Half an hour later, the Doctor being called to his office, at once noticed his labored breathing and immedi— ately summoned assistance, when the nature of nis ailment was at once decided to be porsoning by morphine. Everything known to the medical profession to revive him was tried, but to no avail, and he remained é The citizens of. Butler should, in- deed, be proud of their excellent band.
