One Flanagan, of Carthage, cap- tured the republican convention Thursday by nominating for delagate to the national republican convention Joe Stewart, whom, said he, “holds 500 votes in the hollow of his hand. These miners at Webb City, many of them are democrats, but the man I place in nomination for delegate to Chicago (Joe Stewart) ean whip them in and compel them to vote the republican ticket.” It is perhaps unnecessary to say that Joe went through like a dose of salts.— Nevada Noticer.

A George Wheeler of Garnett, Kansas, formerly an employee of Steiner Bros., ceal dealers, came to town Tuesday to adjust an attach- ment suit against him by J. T. Gip- son on an account.

Mr. Wheeler, of Springfield, who has been spending the past ten days in our city, left for his home the other day. He came to Butler on a short business trip, but being a ; sufferer for several years with kidney troubles, and hearing so much said in favor of our mineral well, con- cluded to stop awhile and test its virtues. He used the water regu- larly for ten or twelve days and was greatly elated over the benefits de- rived, and told a number of persons he thought himself permanently cured, and said he proposed to pub- lish a card to that effect in his home paper. R. J. Hurley, of this city, who has been suffering greatly with an af- fection of the eyes, also testifies that the water from this well is greatly benefiting him. And we might go on with the list into the hundreds, but will wait until another time. The water is free and flows in abund- ance, and all afflicted are cordially invited to come and test its virtues.

The democratic primary of Henry county, held Saturday, resulted as follows: J. H. Calloway, sheriff; W. J. Elliston, collector; Dr. J. Noble, representative; E. O. Price, treasurer; T. S. Wallace, assessor. The con- tests for sheriff and representative were the closest ever known. As Henry county is overwhelmingly democratic, the above officers may be said to be elected, as there is no hope for the republicans. H. P. Faris, who has just returned from Indianapolis, and is one of the ardent prohibition leaders of the state, said that a full prohibition ticket would be gotten out for county officers. Poisoned by Jimson Weeds. Hannibal, Mo..June 4.—Mrs. Jobn Harding yesterday morning went out to pick greens for her Sunday dinner, and, being near sighted, mis- took jimson weeds for mustard plants, took them home and cooked them with the greens. She, her husband and her son partook freely of the dish, and were soon thrown into convulsions by the poison, and this morning Harding died. The others will probably recover. Mrs. T. J. Smith and babies and sister, Mrs. Jones, left for Kentucky Sunday evening to spend the sum- mer with relatives and friends. Mr. Smith accompanied them as far as St. Louis where he will attend the National convention. 1 A Tex: ' Time ts Hotel Destroyed at Night ina Short Tine. ning ds beard ‘ badly burned, le | 1 four chil- | representing the | of Phila- burning berto Pier : H.
