He was so favorably impressed with our county that he signified his intention of selling his Johnson county farm and moving over to Bates. To such worthy gentlemen the Times extends a cordial invitation. Thos. McNamara, of Rich Hill, was brought to this city one day last week and placed in jail to lay out a fine of fifty dollars and costs, as sessed against him for disturbing the peace of a colored family in the above locality. From the above it would seem that the case must have been anaggravated one, or else a high estimate is placed upon the peace and dignity of the coon population | of that vicinity who Capt. J. W. Hannah will treat the exterior of the Palace hotel to a new coat of paint. The contract has been let to Bridgeford & Drummond, who will commence work in a few days. They have just completed painting and decorating the dining room and it is one of the most creditable jobs ever done in the city, and the Palace can now boast of the handsomest dining room in the southwest. The Old Settlers’ Union in Saline county has proved a very beneficial order. At first by its terms only persons fifty years old and of twenty- five years’ residence in the county could become members.

A rather curious fact in connection with this is that the constable who summoned the jurors in the inquest held papers to commit the deceased to jail for refusing to pay a fine which had been imposed for disturb- ing the peace of a neighboring lady a few days previous. Robt. €. of Rich Hill, spent Saturday in the electric city and gave us a pleasant call.

Dr. Boulware informs us that he will attend the International Medical Congress, which meets for a five days’ session in Washington City, Sept. 5th, provided he can make the necessary arrangements to get away from his practice.

The directors of the Butler De-} velopment Company went out Mon- day to W. W. Henry's place. at the northern limits of the city, and drove stake locating the spot where the artesian well is to be drilled. The place selected is about two hundred and fifty yards due north of Mr. Henry's residence anda short distance from the public road.

Owen ne several chickens He plead guilty be | fore Squire Newsom and was fined $5 and costs, which he liquidated and was set free. The warrant was for Prof. Price, but the constable, not knowing the difference between the two, gobbled Gill, Price’s man Friday, who not wishing to stop the ascensiop stepped into the Pro- fessor’s shoes and accepted the situ- ation. As the balloonists euchred the business men of this city out of $75 last week on the ascension with- out the return of five cents, they could well afford to hand back $20. Just how much longer the business men of this town will be tleeced by these up und gone hoodlums remains to be seen. The cheapest, best and most profitable way of advertising is through the columns of your news- paper. One day last week Oliver Freeman, of this City, had two valuable mules killed on a crossing of the Emporia railroad track, near the Keller resi- dence, between this city and Rich ] Hill. The mules were being driven by a son of Mr. Freeman, who was returning from the Hill with a load of coal, behind two other wagons. At this point the wagon close }road passes down into a deep cut, rendering it impossible to see the jcars until they are hard upon you. The two front teams passed over in safety, and as the mules came down into the cut and had just stepped their front feet on the track the en- gine struck them, tearing them lose | from the wagon and dragged them a | short distance down the track, killing | one of them and seriously injuring the other. The boy jumped from i the wagon and escapedinjury. This | crossing has always been considered | by the traveling public to be a very {bad and dangerous place, and the | railrcad company should be forced ito place a bridge over it. Mr. Free- ! man places a value of three hundred dollars on his mules and, as the cars gave no warning before reaching the crossing. will ask pay for his loss. A Balloomst Arrested.
