S. Francisco. Township Committeeman. Rev. Alex Walker is attending Presbytery this week. Bro. Aus. we rise to remark, New- som respectfully cut the mustard. The Nevada Ledger, a staunch loyal paper, suspended last week for lack of support. Ed. T. Steele made a good race for alderman of the north ward and would have been elected easily with alittle work. New township committeemen are to be elected at, the convention on May 5th. This is very important and should not be neglected. Newsom, the ‘peoples’ candidate for alderman in the south ward reached the mile post just thirty-two links ahead of his citizen opponent. J. M. Courtney had a severe bil- lious attack and was confined to his room the last week. He is improv- ing and will be out again in a few days. W. H. Adams left last week for Springfield, Mo., on a prospecting tour, as soon as he findsa point that suits him we understand his family will follow him. Joe Buck, a former typo of this city spending a few days with his parents and shaking hands with his many friends. Between two and three hundred coal miners quit work at the Min- dey mines last week. They claim they are not out on a strike, but want their wages adjusted. R. W. Peach has a position with the engineering corps at Washing- ton City, and is getting a salary of $1,000 a year. The Trurs is glad to hear of his good luck. Pierce Hacket, one of Homer township's staunch farmers and dem- ocrats, while in the city Saturday at- tending the meeting of the county central committee, gave us a pleas- ant call. Over at Oskaloosa, Kan., April 3d, the ladies carried the day, electing their entire city ticket. The petti- coats now have entire control of the city government, and a general re- form is loeked for. Dr. Jno. H. Britts, ex-state sena tor for this district was elected may- or of Clinton by a handsome major- ity last week. One year of radical tule in Clinton was as much as the people could stand. The physicians of the city who at- tended the tri-county medical econ- vention at Rich Hill last week, are loud in praise of their treatment and Say it was the most pleasant time they ever had on similiar occasion. returned from Territory Saturday. Azbery Badgley Washington While there he was taken down with the effects of which he has not yet re- a severe attack of rheumatism, covered. The city council ignored the slan- Record against Squire Newsom being a de- linquent tax-payer, and without a dis- senting voice duly installed him as derous accusations of the one of the city dads. M. W. Mize received a dispatch from Los Angelos, Cal., telling of | the death of his daughter-in-law, | Mrs. Jerry Mize. D. A. Colyer has become an hon- est granger. A short time ago he purchased the old Etzler farm north- east of the city, and Friday moved his family out, and will try farming this year. The citizens of Rockville want a bank. Rockville is a good town and we have no doubt an institution of this kind would pay. Why not a club of her own citizens form a joint stock company and start one. The city council met in special Rev. Stockton, of Carthage, will preach at the Baptist church Sun-. day morning and evening. THE JURY TOO HASTY. | The Censure of Mine Inspector Wolfe | Rev. W. A.

G. Newsom, the newly elected alder- man for the south ward was duly installed into office. E. A. Bennett the north ward alderman was also sworn in. John L. Morrison, of Fayette, Howard county, spent Friday and Saturday in the city and called on the Times. Mr. Morrison is consid- erable of a politician and his visit to our town was in the interest of Mr. Francis’ candidacy for governor. The town hall was filled to over- flowing Monday night to see D. G. Newsom, the noble Roman, take his seat among the guardians of the city’s interests, and cheered him to the echo when he stepped upon the stand. The town failed to hold Tilden H. Smith Monday, and he checked his grip for Adrian, all over the pre sentation of that 10 pound boy. The Tives congratulates Til and hopes to see the young democrat live to bea great and useful man, and will christen the little stranger, Walker Tilden Smith. Mr. Brugler desires every farmer in the county to make him out a list of friends in the east, and leave the same at his office in Bulter, that he may send them his immigration pa per. Send in the names, with post office address, it will cost you noth- ing to send the papers. Judge Ballard gave us a pleasant call Saturday. The judge's two sons have been attending our schools and he was in for the purpose of taking them home to spend Sunday. He was well pleased with the pro- gress they haye made and spea in the highest terms of our public schools. Our city butchers have formed a pool and raised loin steak to 15 cts per pound and round to 124 cts. The butchers are behind the times, the latest combinations are called “trusts.” Well, sugar cured hams are selling at 14 cts and chickens will soon be ripe. spring Judge Parkinson returned from Osceola the latter part of last week, where he had been in attendance at cireuit court. The judge feels pret- ty sure he will get St. Clair’s vote. While absent he also looked after his fences at Carthage, so says the Democrat. Since last Thursday John Arm- strong has been setting up the ci- gars to all his friends over that fine 10 pound boy. If you have not re- cieved yours call around, for just now John is about the happiest mor- tal in towm, and erows muchly over his pair. Jas. L. McBride, a former citizen of Montrose, was elected city re- corder of Clinton last Tuesday on the democratic tieket. He is a broth- er of W. H. McBride, of this city. In a railroad accident at Montrose several years ago he was so un- fortunate as to have both his legs cut off at the knees. W. B. Ewing and wife of Johns- town, started for Pasadena. Califor- pect to make their future home. Mr. Ewing is a very prominent and his estimable lady on the Pacific slope. : : : | i oe Sec jTwp.; RB will spend the summer in the city. g of the labor statistics.speaking to- | oe a a hate Cee pena eeteethie SES Ae eee | day in =e la abry & Thornton Ip se “ OS , Governor Morehouse will be in nial emt fo) = eg Be | perro mae saan ae — EE | ner's Butler to-morrow.

After the mine has been cleared and good ventilation secured, Hon. Oscar Koehtitzky, Labor commissioner of the state, assisted by experts, will makea scientifie investigation into Remember Levy's grand opening The display | is going to be magnificent and every- takes place to-morrow. Each and every person attending with a handsome souvenir. At 4 doors will be closed for the night display. and will be re-opened at 7 o'clock sharp. No goods will be sold during evening. Don't fail to attend as it will be agreat treat, and a sight worth seeing. Col. Thos. Irish spent Saturday in the hub, and was wonder stricken at the big stocks of goods our mer- chants are carrying and the im- mense trade they are having. He also took in the meeting of the cen- tral committee and took a ride on the tread mill cable to the artesian well, east of the city. He is heart and soul in the immigration move- ment but refused to talk on state pol- ities, except that he was deeply in- terested in the success of Judge De- Armond’s candidacy. Among the donors to a relief pa- per eirculated in Rich Hill for the relief of the unfortunate in the re- cent disastrous mine explosion, we see the name of our fellow-townsman J. W. MeVeigh, with a donation of $25. Whenever and wherever there is charity to be bestowed for a} worthy cause, you can count on Mc-! Veigh. R. J. Hurley & Co. and G.

There ten twelve applicants examined by the board, and Mr. Wolfe was found to be the best qualified man for the university. were or place and the board accordingly recommended his — appointment The salary of the position is $1,800 ar. Of the members of the board, Morgan and Elliott are mine operators; Hay and Long are practical miners; Thatcher is a mining engineer; Wolfeis a prac- owners and tical miner. The investigation of the mine will be conducted under his personal supervision, but expect to be present. The real cause of the explosion, I am convinced, can only be revealed by the investigation and fromthe testimony of those who were reseued from the mines.” We were informed by Prof. Ries ner that the American Fire Co., had settled satisfactorily with Mr. Miner, who recently lost his home by tire. It is with regret we announce the serious illness of Mrs. S. B. Catter- For four weeks she has suffer- ed greatly with paralysis of the low- er part of the stomach, and for the past few days has been quite low. Monday morning she became alarm- ed at her condition and summoned her five children to her bedside and held a short conference with them. With her advanced age, 69 years, her physician has very slight hopes of her recovery. The Dwelling House Insurance Company settled satisfactorily with Mr. Wood and Mr. Miner, for their recent losses by fire. The Cut Off Again. Monday a gentleman claiming to have a four mile contract on the K. C. & Rich Hill railroad east of town, unloaded two car loads of mules and scrapers at the depot. He said his instructions were to go to work on his contract inside of four days. As the land over which the present sur- vey runs has not yet been con- demned by the commissioner ap- pointed by the court at Clinton or the right of way secured, we are at a loss to know just hew the con- traetor proposes to go to work. However. the eontractor is here, and the mules and serapers are here. and if his orders are carried out we sup- pose dirt will begin to fly in four days or thereabouts. A.H. Culver is agent for the best 924 has been subscribed tothe fund. Rich Hill Mining company head the list with $500 each. The Tres is glad to see that the good citizens of the Hill have taken such prompt ac- tion and also that her people are so generous in their offerings. Butler should not stand back but should come to the front and assist Rich Hill in this most worthy and lauda- ble enterprise, and we have no doubt many of our people would gladly do 80 were they asked. | The Perfection Keith & Perry coalcompany and the | = ae ‘liquid fruit remedy, Syrup of Figs, Of the age in the medical line is the | manufactured only by the California , Fig Syrup Co., San Francisco, Cal. | It is agreeable to the taste, accepta- | ble to the stomach, harmless in its | nature, painless yet prompt in its ac- ‘tion.
