Misses Katie Glessner and Mary Kennett are spending the week in St. Louis attending the fair and sight seeing. Deputy Sheriff E. A. “Ewing left Monday morning for Walnut and New Home townships on business connected with his office. This is beautiful weather for the St. Louis fair, but it should not be attributed entirely to the usual good luck of the president and his visit to that city. George McReynolds has the con- tract for delivering the express, vice Walker Morgan resigned. George will perform the duties punctually and faithfully. Butler is the best town in south- west Missouri, and the finding of coal and gas will make it the largest and most flourishing inland town in this section of the state. Squire D. G. Newsom, left Sun- day night for the east on a business trip. He will take in Boston, Wash- ington City, and a portion of Penn- sylvania, and will be absent a week or ten days. Mrs. Neilia Mitchell, of London, Ohio, was in the city the last part of the week looking after her landed interests in the county and visiting Mrs. J. W. Badger. It is hard for some of our people to decide whether to stay at hometo the big show or go to Kansas City to see the president. Billy O. says he will go to see Frankie. There was a gorgeous display of farm wagons in the city Saturday, notwithstanding the roads were in a bad condition and the weather un- favorable. If you want to see crowd- ed streets and a booming town come to Butler. There is not much economy but a good deal of punishment in keeping the disreputable citizen, Hart, in the cooler. He ought to be put to work on the rock pile, and as soon as re- leased give him his walking papers. D. B. Heath and wife, who have been visiting relatives at Pine, Minn., returned home about a week ago. Mr. Heath reports having had a de- lightful time fishing in the northern lakes, but said it had begun to get cold before he returned. The Nevada Mail says one, Dr. Applegate, of that city, who has been practicing medicine for the past six months, has departed for parts unknown taking with him Mrs. Hol- lingsworth, who leaves a husband and five children behind. R. J. Starke, ex-county clerk, of Spruce township, was in the city Monday on business. He is in ex- cellent health, considerably tanned from exposure, and is the same old- time, whole-souled Bud. He has a host of tried and true friends through- out the county who will ever rejoice in his prosperity. The Kansas City Exposition opens to-morrow.

We found him a very en- tertaining, clever gentleman, and are glad to welcome him to our county. He was accompanied by his brother, | Geo. M. McKissick. J. M.

Judge Edwards will sell a large number of horses, mules and cattle at public sale on his farm, three miles east of Altona. A number of his mares are blooded stock.

RUBBER Bn Our line of Rubber Butler Gas Well. _ 2 25. Work on the gas well is progress- | ling as rapidly as could be expected. ‘It has now reached a depth of some- | | thing over five hundred feet, and in |that distance two veins of coal was ‘passed through, one 3} feet, the oth- er uot quite so thick, besides a good flow of gas. Saturday evening the gas was ignited and burned steadily until Monday morning. On Mon- day drilling was hindered by there being a projection of some kind in the hole, which necessitated rimming it out. Strong hopes are entertained that Butler is on the road of a bo- nanza and that gas will be found in unlimited quantities. A number of parties have taken option on stock at an advanced figure. Later.—As we go to press, Rev. Walker, one of the Committee, brought to our office a bucket of sulphur water thatis equally as strong as thenoted Monegaw water. It was struck at a depth of 590 feet. The water rose 275 feet in the tube. 3oots and Shoes is complete. ~ We only sarry the best quali- ties made.

Adams, the veteran editor and printer, was 65 years of age yester- day, and the Ties takes especial pleasure in reminding his numerous friends throughout the state that he is in reasonable health with fair prospects of living to again cast his vote for Grover and his successor. The captain is perhaps one of the oldest, if not the oldest, printer in the state, and even now it takes more than an ordinary type setter to lead him. He learned his trade in Fay- ette, Howard county, and edited and published the first paper printed in Kansas, while yet a territory, under the boughs of an elm tree, in what is now Leavenworth City. He after- ward secured a government tent from the Fortand continued to pub- lish in this manner until he could build sizes. Call and see us.

Three prisoners who were serving out sentences in the county jail at Butler, were removed two or three months ago by Sheriff Glazebrook to that official’s farm and put to work,do- ing service as regular farm hands. Their term having expired, the three have instituted suit against the sheriff for wages covering the peri- od of their service on the farm.—Rich Hill Herald. The above is about as near the truth as the Herald ever comes. The facts in the case are as follows: One| Dyspepsia is dreadful, Disordered a house, the first one erected in 3 «+7 | liver is misery.

This he was allowed to do and it was a humane act in Mr. The human digestive apparatus is one ot the most complicated and wondertul chings in existence. It is easily put out ot order. f Greasy tood, tot.gh food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and many other things which ought not to be, have made the American people a nation of dyspeptice. But Green’s August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making the American peo- ple so healthy that they can enjoy their paper history which the Tn«s will take great pleasure in publishing at some future date. In the meantime we wish him many more happy ani- versaries. Mysteriously Disappeared. W. N. Walker spent last Week in Kansas City.

But Green's august Flower has not been known since. August 31st last. On that day his brother made some collections for ter work, amounting to about $100, and started home about 6 o'clock in the evening, and the last heard or seen of him was at the junction, where he stopped a few minutes to talk to a liceman, an old acquaintance. He fived pleasantly with his family, was making money at his trade, carpen- tering and contracting, and no reason whatever can be assigned for his disappearance. His brother, in this city, is er of the opinion that he met with foul play while on his way home. Did Brig. Grosvenor, who in his G. A. R. representative Ppa is ter than presidents and congress- at the United States, ever read the instructive story of the tailor—who came a-riding by—the fire of courage in his eye? “Oh, where are you going, sir?” said I. “I slew a mouse in our house where other tailors live,” said he, “and not a jack in all that pack would dare to do as —— So I'm going out to i ain L a the land a ‘than I, yousee.” Andhow this same brigadier on his return came limpi brings health and happiness to the dys- oh Ask you- druggist tor a bottle.

The case was taken away off up in Elkhart township before a justice instead of trying it in Mt. Pleasant. where it belonged. On Saturday, the day set for trial, the case was dismissed. There appears to bea large “nigger in the woodpile,” in the bringing of the suit, and such tactics rarely, if ever, win. | Disturbing Religious Worship. W. O. Jackson, prosecuting attor- ney, was called to West Point town- ship Monday to prosecute a couple of young men, Willard Keeton and Carl Pointer, by name, for disturbing religious worship at Forbes’ school house. Mr. Jackson on arriving found that the prosecuting witness was not present and had the case postponed fora week. Ourinformant says there were four boys mixed up in the disgraceful affair, but two of them, Joe and Sam Morris, skipped out before being arrested, and up to date the constable has not been able WELL, It 00 BEAT ALL!

This Peculiar is not the first time Keeton and his associates have been charged with disturbing religious worship in this neighborhood, and now that the law has entwined its links about the ring- leader, it is the duty of the good citizens of that locality to assist Mr. | speei Jackson in the discharge of his duties, and thus teach these young law brakers that such villiany as the above will no longer be permitted.
