County court convened Monday. E. M. Eppstein went to Boonville, Mo., to visit friends and relatives. Robt. Darah, of Darwell county, Ill., was visiting his brother-in-law, Franklin Freeman, the latter part of the week.

Richardson and Dr. S. H. Bothwell, prominent business men of Rockville, gave us a pleasant call whule in the city on court business Monday. Quite a delegation of gentlemen from Rockvillé and one trom Hudson township were in attendance on county court Monday in the interest of a bridge over Panther creek. There seems to be a difference ot opinion as towhere the bridge should be located. Newsom, Hurt, Patterson, Ellis, Hagedorn and Baker, members of the Butler Gun Club, attended the shooting tournameat at Galena, Kansas, last Friday and Saturday. The boys came out first best, winning ‘most of the money and honor. They shoot well and it takes a hard team to down them. J. A. Mathes, J. M. White and A F. Settle, of Mingo township, were in the city Monday in attend- ance on county court. These gentle- men were trying to impress the court with the idea that a bridge over Grand river, at Settle’s tord, is very badly needed. They evidently have 4 good case, backed by a strong petition trom that country, and the court no doubt will give the matter careful consideration. Come and look at our cut prices during our cost clearing sale. S. Levy & Co.

Springs, and we suppose all had a good time William Hedden, democratic com- mitteeman from Osage township,and one ot the best men and _ largest farmers in the county, gave us a pleasant call while in the city Mon- day and Tuesday. The democrats of the Western district of Greene county have now fixed upon Mr. Alex Evans as a candidate for the legislature against Hon. S. W. Headlee, republican and present incumbent. A pointer puppy, belonging to J. R. Dayis, was killed by t.ee Cul- ver, in front of Mr, Abell’s residence on Ohio street, late Saturday even- ing. The dog, from his strange actions was supposed to be mad. Judze Lefker has just added to his mill in this city a large amount ot new and improved. machinery and 1s now making the new process meal.

Mr. Holt an excellent pharmacist, a clever, sociable gentle- man and his many 1s friends will be glad. The Adrian Adyertiser says: ‘*N. A.

He thinks it was the same dog that was killed near Crescent Hill two weeks ago. On last Monday Mr. Calvin Macy, living on the Donovan farm, 7 miles east of Butler, was severely injured by talling from a patent stacker and having one of the wooden teeth to run in his bowels. Dr. Renick was summoned immediately and gave medical assistance. He sewed up the wound and left his patient resting easy. The Doctor says the wound will not necessarily prove fatal un- less erysipelas should set in. Hon. Albert O. Allen, U. S. In- spector of swamp lands in Missouri, and Col. McCulloch, Register of Lands for the state, are in the county looking after Bates county’s swamp land interests. It appears that in 1850 the U. S. Congress passed an act donating all swamp lands to the states, and atter that date consider- able ot this land was sold by the land office at Washington. In 1883 another act was passed providing Pay to the states for this-land thus! sold, This is what these gentlemen are now looking after. They say they think they can get an indemnity for about 4,000 acres, which money will of course go into the school fund.

Mr. Cotton has realized quite an imniense profit by this transfer, having paid only $12,50 per acre for the tract a little over four years ago. Hard on the Globe. Walnut News. The Rockville Glode calls us kicker’’ because we ca have fearlessly placed our choice for congress at the head of the News. We are very greatful to the editor of the Globe for dictating to us whom we should support in the congressional race, but we do not feal disposed to take his advice. Judge Parkinson, is as far as we know, a perfect gentleman, and if he had any chane whatever to get the nomimation, we would sup- port him, but as we consider the race is between Judge Gantt and Wm.

Griggs, arrived at the latter’s home the last of the week to make a three or tour months’ visit to her tather’s family, Miss Fannie, another daughter from Junction City, Kansas, is visiting uncle Billy. SPECIAL the Judge Gantt man qualified for that position, is our choice and the choice of the de- mocracy of Bates county. As tor lending a helping hand to a home candidate we are always tound doing so when a candidate 1s running in his own interest or has any show ot being nominated.
