As to his private grievance, or the griev- ance of the Board, we care nothing, Atterney General Boone's Opinien. In reply to a letter addressed him by Prosecuting Attorney Burnett, asking whether or not, in his opin ion, the loeal option law prohibited druggists from selling liquors for medieinal purposes, on the prescrip- tion of a physician, Attorney Gener- el Boone writes as follows: “Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 23,88. A. C. Burnett, Lamar, Mo: D=)r Sir:—The adoption of local option by a county, under the act of 1887, precludes and prohibits the sale of all intoxicating liquors, ex cept as provided in section eight of said act Yours Very Respectfully, B. G. Broxz.” The section referred to prohibits the sale of every kind of intoxicants except “pure alcohol for medicinal, art, scientific and mechanical pur- poses,” and wine for sacramental purposes. Under this seetion, the prescription of a physician is no protection to a druggist.—Lamar Missourian reason why a private institution should be torn down in order that a aE Cae Shocking Death. D. N.

He was immediately put into a wagon and hurriedly driven to town, a distance of nearly a mile, and taken to the office of Dr. Wilson, who at once perceived that the man was fatally injured. He was afterward taken to the residence of his brother, T. B. Wirt, on 7th street, where he lingered until a few minutes past 12 o’clock when he died. Although all possible medical aid was given, nothing could be done to revive him, or relieve his suffering. From the time of the accident until death he never uttered a word and seemed totally unconscious. He was forty years of age, and came here from Kansas City, three weeks ago, where he has been team- ing the past summer and fall. He spent last winter with his brother, T. B. Wirt—now a resident of this city, but then living in the north part of the county near Burdette, where he owns 80 acres of land.— right. The same courtesies would of Trustees had they desired to make answer to the card through The Tiuzs On last Saturday a Democrat re- porter was introduced to five men together, in the postoffice, who had recently come to this county from Kansas. They told'a dismal tale of the condition of the farmers in West ern Kansas with uo crops, no homes, no fuel—uothing but taxes, mort- gages, and radicalism. They stated that the principal occupation of the average Kansas republicans is curs- ing democrats and drawing pensions; that taxes in most of the towns are from 5 to 10 per cent, and that near- ly every township in the state is loaded down with railroad bonds. These men further stated that there would be a great influx to Missouri from Kansas during theyear. They all went to Kansas from Illinois anu when they weni there three of them were republicans and two democrats, now they are all democrats and de clare that democratic Missouri is a paradise compared with republican FBI8SO0 EXTENSION- Late dispatches state that the Frisco Co. have calledi. their engi stone in quality is equal to the War eusasiond they adzise every One | Foster News. rensburg stone, and in unlimited who does not like a democratic ad quantities.

The work of this committee is to receive the visiting delegation at the depot, dinner them, after which they will go to the Methodist ehurch, aud the exercises there will probably consist of the presentation of the banner in a neat speech, and a re- sponse by J.

Many of our citizens will remem ber Prof. Ryan and his son, Rolla, who visited Butler a number of times aud gave entertainments in elocution. The following notice of the death of Rolla appeared in the Jefferson (Tex.) Jimplecute of Jan. 18th: “Rolla Ryan, the well-known thage Democrat. Pass it Around. The democratic party of this sen aturial district will now proceed to select a man to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the Hon. Jus. G. Sparks. This is an office of re- spousibility, requiring a ripe scholar and a man thoroughly conversant with our state politics and the wants of the people. In the selection of 4 senator the democratic party wants a man who has been tried in the crucible of time and not found want- ing in the trusts of his party. In the person of N. A.

H. Martin, a realestate agent was driving on the mesa with the Misses Flora and Charity Robb, two ; elderly sisters who were examining certain property on whieh they were to loan money, when the horses’ neckyoke became loose and let the carriage tongue fall to the ground. The horses started to run away, but Martin held them for a moment, tell ing the ladies who were sitting on therearseatto jump. Thinking they had done so he jumped himeelf, and turning around was horrified to see the ladies still sitting inthe carriage. The lines were jerked from his hands and the team dashed over the coun try for half a mile, when it collided with some trees, breaking the vebi- cle to kindling wood. Flora Rubb was thrown violently forward, her head striking a tree and her neck was broken and she died in half an hour. Charity had her right thigh broken in two places, her right arm broken and her left ankle dislocated and was otherwise severely bruised and recovery is extremely doubtful. Martin was slightly bruised. The mother of the ladies died last week and was buried Sunday.
