Brugler wants 2 lot ot good farm loans, running trom 6 to 18 months, This 1s a good chance for tarmers to get short loans, or sell short real estate paper. Caen LEE EEEnEEEE Now is the time for our city coun- cil to inaugurate a plan for cleaning up the city. T. J. Day has been confined to his bed tor the past week with a ’ severe sore throat. | For the present Joe T. Smith is occupying the livery barn owned and occupied by C. B. Lewis. Shall we have water-works, fire enging, or will we continue to take our chances with the bucket brigade? J. K. Bruglar wants more app- cations tor first-class loans. 7 per cent. interestandcommissions. 4-tf Everything which belongs to pure, healthy blood is imparted by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. A trial will convince you of its merit. J.C. Clarke has purchased the Charley Lewis lot on the burnt dis- trict and will build a fine brick or stone business house. In spite of the prophesies that a dry Easter Sunday foretold seven dry Sundays in succession, it rained all day on last Sabbath, and it was | a great blessing to all classes. The foundation for the new school house will be completed ina few more days. Competent judges say itis one ot the most substantial ev- er built in the city and is capable of holding up any amount of weight that can be placed upon it. R.J Hurley returned trom St. Louis last weex where he has been for some time having his eyes treat- ed. He says his eyes while not en- tirely well are much improved and he1s consequently happy, and has * strong hopes of being permanently cured. The Hume Star 1s complaining at the support given it by the merchants otthat place, and threatens, if not treated better, to seek pastures greener. We don’t blame you, Bro. Harper, as it takes something more substantial to run a newspaper in this climate than you appear to be Tecieving. , Another old landmark has passed away. This time it was that good old man Father Bartley, who died at the residence of his son, George | Bartley, one mile north of Butler, on Wednesday last. He was in his 93d year. He is an old resident ot Bates county, and was loved and honored by all who knew him. He Was the father ot Mrs. R. G. Hart- well. se Henry Litts and wife. nee Miss Luella Dickey, of Abilene, Kansas, \ atived in Butler Saturday evening Nga short visit to the latter’s Parents. Mr. Litts is editor of the Reflector, a sprightly journal ot the above city. He favorell us with a call Monday, and it isa pleasure to know Miss Luella has captured a Young man so worthy of her conti- ’ dence and esteem. Mr. Litts cap- tured a prize in Miss Luella and the TIMES extends its congratulations, ex} tu. We are in rece:pt of cards to at- tend the marnage of Edward E. Sa Riley, of Kansas City, to Miss Liltan Crabb, the beautiful and accomplished daughter ot Edward Crabb, of Rich Hill.

Mc- Grath, for proof sheets ot the Ses- sion Acts of the thirty: fourth General Assembly. Parties desiring extra copies of next week’s Timxs should leave their orders by Friday noon: Every business man interested in the growth and prosperity of Butler and Bates county should secure a number of these papers and send to friends in the east. We have just received a new No. 3 White Sewing Machine which might be termed a perfect Daisy in every respect. It arrived in pertect working order, does good work and runs light and easy. With each machine a warranty is given to keep it in good running order for five years. The Mo. Pacific folks are build- ing a siding at the Emporia junction, three miles south ot town, for the purpose of setting out cars loaded with coal bound tor Kansas. Nuw they haul the coal from the mines to this place then back three miles to where the Emporia leaves the main track. When the siding is complet- ed this extra haul will be obviated. The following parties have settled with the insurance adjusters at the amount named: J. P. Willis, $2,- 750; E.O. Hayes, $1,000; Mrs. Kennett, $585; Mrs. Patten, dam- age to hotel, $117; Mrs. Day, damage to residence, $18; Wal- ton’s Opera House, damage to plate glass, $950; Charley Lewis, on building, $2,460, and on household goods, $600. The elegant rain which tell Sat- urday might and all day Sunday, placed thousands of dollars in the pockets of the farmers of Bates county. It came right at the time it was most needed, and was a savor of lite to the oats and wheat crop. A cheerful smile now promenades over the heretotore long face and all are returning sincere thanks for the much needed rain. As statedin last week’s Times, John Steele has sold the old Olive House property on the southwest corner of the square. Dr. Ever- ingham was the purchaser, paying $4,800 for 66 feet or little over, $72 per front toot. This 1s very cheap property We understand it is the Doctor’s intention to tear away the old trame building that has been an eye sore to the people of Butler tor a number of years and a veritable fire trap, and erect on the site a number of substantial brick houses. Verily the curse ot the fire is being changed into a blessing to Butler. Preparations are being made to re- place the whole of the burned dis- trict with finer brick or stone build- ings. The building boom has struck Butler at last and it is not of the mushroom nature, but substantial and will steadily increase. Already Butler real estate is on the rise and before many moons it will have reached somewhere in the neighbor- hood of what it is actually worth. Now is the time to invest money in Butler property, tor it is now at its lowest edb and Butler has a prom- ising tuture before her A stranger recently visiting our city was met at the hotel by one ot are a curse to any community, who, in a desponding tone usually as- sumed by such dead heads, proceeded wasted in building a school house infinitum. | for himself, and, as a consequence, | Was most agreeably disappointed in | Ress ability, while the bride is «! our town and county.

The warrant charges him with housebreaking. In order to locate the body ot a man drowned at Abbeyville. Ga., the other day, an old negro took a bundle of fodder and putit in the river where the man first sank. It floated down about fifty yards and suddenly stopped and commenced to whirl slowly round and round and round. Here the old negro dived and secured the body. He claims to have recovered four or five other lost bodies by this means. A few days ago, one Pat Conners was run over and killed by a train at Peoria Ill. Yesterday his family received a letter stating that his brother was killed in Pennsylvania in the same way, on the same day and same hour. Word was also re- ceived in Peoria, Sunday, of the killing of Miles Shea, a Peorian, at Fort Scott, Kansas being run over. A brother of Shea met his death in the same manner several months ago in Colorado.

Four prisoners broke jail at La- mar Thursday night by sawing a hole through the floor. John West was incarcerated for the murder of S. K. Reynolds and was awaiting stay of execution in a sentence or 25 years to the penitentiary. W. H. Turrer was immured for swindling in the sale of a patent right on a gas stove, while the two Prewitts were charged with persistent stealing, one ot them having been tried a few days since, fined $20 and given twenty days in jail. Long time loans, with privilege of payments in one, two, three or five years, at the lowest rates ever offered in the town of Butler, can be obtained of the Bankers Loan & Title Co. on the west side in their new office. The fire odurned out the old office and this Co. have moved a few doors north and are going to give better rates than ever. For a tew first class loans of large amounts they will giye specially low rates. Come and see P. C. Fulkerson and Geo. Canterbury. Next week we will devote con- siderable space to our county and towns, the vast advantages offered to eastern farmers, mechanics and capitalists, and in connection there- with will give a business directory of the city ot Butler, so that stran- gers may know the class of business men we have, any of whom will take delight in furnishing all the in- tormation that my be required ot the addressed We will furnish as many extra copes as may be desired if a few day’s notice is given ot the number wanted.

Joe Postweight then came to the doc- tor’s rescue and together they forced him backwards, using him pretty roughly, the last blows knocking him through the glass door, which had been closed during the fight. The robber was badly used up and leit his hat and revolver in the store, but succeeded in making his escape. The next morning he was tracked a long distance by the bleod, and it was the general opinion that he was so badly hurt he would either die or be compelled to seek medical assist - ance. The doctor deserves great credit for his courage in thus tackling three armed men, aud had he received proper assistance from those pres- ent there 1s no doubt but that one of them at least would have been captured and safely jailed. However, we presume the amateur highwaymen made such a bungling and cowardly job of this attempt that it will be » long time before they undertake to rob another store. 1,200 acres of the best grass land in Bates county for a pasture.
