WEDNESDAY JAN. sth, 1887. ‘i OUR NEW OFFICERS. The Times has a pride in the in coming officers, and has no hesitancy in asserting that, taken as a whole, — they are second to no set of officers that ever served the people of Bates county. The first upon the lst comes JoHN C. HAYS Circuit Clerk, who is already thor- oughly conversant with the duties of the office having served as deputy tor eight years. He was born in St. Joseph, Mo. Was educated at Fayette, and came to Butler about bate court. John is a young manot of brains and energy, he has wor hara and deserves his success. He beea born and raised in Johnson | countv, Atan early age he studied ‘law and was admitted to the bar, ‘when he located in Butler. He is | thoroughly quahfied to pertorm the duties of his office and we have no | doubt will make a most excellent Probate Judge and will guard with jenlous care the interests of the widow and orphant.

He | and immediately set to work admin- -eomiag when he will be heard trom “aya *‘call’’ to a higher sphere than ewer.—Cartlage Patriot. EE Ex-Senator Thurman is seventy- twe years old and is reported to be orth half « million. He does not ave for public lite again, though he vvankly admits that he would like to e president for just one term. There are any number of politicians ready *a make the same admission. ‘To-day the Missouri legislature convenes, and politically will stand 35 follows: The democrats will dave a majority of 30 over all oppo- sition in the house, having a total of 335 votes against 50 republicar independents and 2 united lat Lhe senate stynds 24 democrais, 8 vepublicans and 2 greenback labor. On joint ballot the democrats will ‘awe a majority of 44. Hon. J. H. Hinton left for Jeffer- ‘son City on Monday to take his seat «a the lower house of the next gen eral assembly, which meets to-day. Prof. Hinton writes us that, as tar 48 the question of court removal is oncerned, he is determined to stand »y the card he published before bis ofhination, and “will prove true t vis triends and constituency.’’ These ‘re noble sentiments—all our people eequire at the hands of Prof. Hinton. Vhey expect no less, they could ask orno more. a A meeting ot the prison inspectors «nd wardens was held at Jefferson “city yesterday for the purpose of considering bids for furnishing*beef or the penitentiary for the ensuing year. The bids were as tollows: john’ W. Gordon, Jefferson City, $2.92 12 per 100 pounds gross; Dawis, Smith & Co., Fulton, $3.31, toss; Stephen Otmayer & Co., 53-12 62 gross; B. F. Doran, ‘Sooper county, $5.63 net. Mr. Gor- fon being the lowest bidder he was awarded the contract. Never betore ea the history ot the penitentiary has tveef been furnished so cheap. The amount ot beet consumed by the prison anaually is about $40,000. —_——__ “We are creditably informed that the Democrat and Times are about te be consolidated, Allen to contin- ee as business manager and editor, with Wade as an associate —Adnan Advertiser. “Phere was some such talk as the wove ‘between the editors of the swo papers and a few triends, In fact terms had been agreed on and writings to that effect signed. It was theritentron to incorporate the ¢ bined papers and distribute th x2 as to getit equally in the Is of friends ofeach paper. The ob- ject.ot the combination was to har @monize all factional feelings in par- Sv aswell as city and county and “work together in unity for the good atthe whole.

The mantle of J. Rue Jenkins could not have tallen upon more worthy shoulders. * THOS. L. HARPER, County Clerk, is a native Scotland. He came to this state when quite young and settled in Cole county. He ts an engineer by trade and run an engine tor several years finally losing a leg in an accident. Al- though he took a prominent part in politics and usually attended all conventions as a dele He never ) ked for office. I B couaty oa number of years ago and located ia Lone Oak township. All who know him respect and love him, and his best recommendation comes from those who know him best. Tom Harper ts a good business man, is well qualified by education and experience to fill the office to which the suffrage of his people elected him. | R. GENTRY WEST, j that old democratic war horse who ever known what it was to falter or grow weak in party affilia- tion took charge of the Recorder’s office to which he was elected on New Year’s day. Mr. West was born and raised in Bates county and has spent the greater part ot his lite here with the ex@eption of three or tour-year’s he was in the army. This is the first office he ever held though he has been a prominent tac- tor in politics in Bates county tor many years. Gent Westis an in- dustrious and a genial, clever gen- tleman, who can always be found at his post ot duty and who will treat every one alike who has_ business with his office. wo. 0. JACKSON who enters upon his second term as Prosecuting Attorney is making for himself a reputation that any young man might be proud of. He has peformed the duties ot his office with ability and distinction, impartial in all cases, and has proven himselt a terror to evil doers. It is the first time in the history of Bates county politics that a prosecutor has suc ceeded himself. Mr. Jackson was born in Iowa, and received his edu- cation from institutions ot learning in that state. He came to Bates county in 18S2 and located in Butler and began the practice of law and his success in his protession since has been almost phenominal. It has been his duty to prosecute several yery important cr cases and no man can say that he did not dis— charge his whole duty in the premi- ses. GEO. G. GILAZEBROOK, took charge of the sheriff's office seyeral weeks ago and 1s now hard atwork. While an unholy warefare was w aged against Mr. Glazebrook, und came near en- compassing his defeat, the indica- tions are that he will make as good a shenff as Bates county ever had be- tore. He is a man of strong, though honest convictions, and he will be tound at -his post of duty Tegardless of fear or favor. Mr. Glazebrook was born in Johnson county, this state, and stands very high among his old neighbors there. number of years, and while he has been actiyely engaged in poli never before asked for office. tics he JOHN s. FRANCISCO, oN auu- ues of the office of Judge ot the Pro- sbi SUT 4 ce ets a ‘ is a native born Missourian having ; Logan’s seat in the senate ch. istering on an estate, the first being that of Bell Eearhart, deceased. Mr. Enms was born in St. Louis county in 1833, where he resided untii the war broke out when he joined his fortunes with tke southern cause and laid in a northern prison fur ten months. He thenlocated in Mississippi where he lived until he removed to Bates county in 18So. He isa most excellent gentleman and his merits will no doubt be rec- ognized ere long more substantially. DR. E. L. RICE, a promising physician and a genial clever gentleman, enters upon his second term as coroner of Bates county. The doctor is taking a prominent*stand in his profession, and this may be but a steping stone to him tor something higher. A Solid Man from Missauri. New York Star: Michad K. Mc- Grath, secretary of state of Missouri, is spending a few days at the St. Denis. Mr. McGrath is conceded to be the most popular man _politi- cally in his state, and it has cot to be a saying out there that one of the impossible things is to deat Mr. McGrath tor an office. He is now serving his third term, and will have no difficulty m being elected toa tourth term it he wants it, The people of Missouri have always made it a rule never to elect a man three times to the same office, and Mr McGrath’s case is an exception. So strung is he with the people that he practically runs the state govern- ment, and one Governor who op- posed him, Thos T. Crittenden, has faded into obscurity. When only a lad he arnved in New York trom Ireland with only atew dollars in his pocket, and finally succeeded in getting employed by Develin, the Broadway clothier, He was only making $7 per week when he con: cluded to go west, and he had to go onan immigrant train. He soon found lucratiye employment in St. Louis, and was tor several vears clerk of the criminal court of that city. No man has such a wide per- sonal acquaintance among the Mis- sour: democrats as Mr. McGrath. and he says that President Cleve- land will have the support of that state in the next national convention. “Cleveland is growing stronger out there eyery day,’’ he said, “and our people will gladly indorse his ad— ministration. When he was a can- didate betore, our people were diyi- ded between him, Thurman and Bayard. Should anything happen to Mr, Cleveland, Governor Hill would be second choice.’”? Mr. Mc- Grath has a brother who lives in Dunklin county, and has been for several years journal clerk of the legislature. —_—_—!___ The Victim of Three R's. Mr. Blaine is going to Europe to study the Irish question. He feels that he has exhausted all the avenues ot fame or sensation on this side of the water, and he wants now to study up some of the questions that are agitating the old world. It may be that the Maine statesman is wise in his generation, and wants some new thing in his next campaign to offset the Rum, Romanism and Re- bellion that so neatly bowled him over in the last tilt he had with the | Goddess ot Liberty. Brother Blaine ! ery shy and artful, like ‘Joey Bagstock."” The only trouble is! that he has impressed the American | people with the idea that perhaps | he is a trifle too smart. A reputa- tion of this sort is really worse than! none at ali.—Peoria Journal. j Logan's Seat ia the Senate. for Gen. A number ot applications have | been received by te'egrapt nber, which had one ot the best situations inthe room. It-is located in the front row on the republican side, the second from the main aisle. Gen. Lozan’s neighbors on the right and lett were Senator Edmunds of Ver- mont and Senator Frye ot Maine. Directly in the rear is the seat ot Senator Ingalls of Kansas. General Logan's seat was occupied during the years immediately preceding the war by George E. Pugh of Ohio, It next became the property of James W. Grimes of Iowa. Then Rodman J. West ot Loursiana held it a few years, and atter him Mr. Kirkwood of Iowa. When this gentleman re- signed it to take a place in President Garfield's cabinet it fell to General Logan, jwho has retained it ever since. Directly across the aisle are the seats of Brown of Georgia, Mor- gan of Alabama and Butler of South Carolina, Inthe rear ot these, a little to the lett, is the seat which Jefferson Davis occupied at the time he left the senate to join his fortunes with those ot the South. Its present possessor is Senator Beck of Ken: tucky. Still turther back—the last seat on the outer edge—is the one in which Bob Toombs ot Georgia sat. It is probable that Senator Manderson of Nebraska will succeed to Gen Logan’s Seat. It was given to him upon his application when Gen. Logan’s term expired nearly two years ago, and was held by him until the general’s re-election, when Mr. Manderson gracetully returned ittohm. In view of this tact it will probably revert to the Nebraska senator again. ’ ‘When Baby was sick, wo gave her Castoria, When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria, When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria, When she had Children, she gave them Castoria, ‘Trustee’s Sale.
