Notice is hereby given, that there will be a meeting of the Democratic Central Committee of Bates county, at the court house in the city of Butler, on Saturday, June 23, 1888, at 2 o’clock p. m., for the purpose of making arrangements for the selec- tion of delegates to the following conventions: First, to the State Senatorial con vention, to be held in H on Saturcay, July 21, 1888.

Truly, Lancaster's character must have been considered very precious by the jy for Glover. it is a great victory ——EE Hou. Jas. M. Seibert, State Treas- urer and candidate for Auditor, and the Hon. Albert O. Allen, of New Madrid, State Swamp Land Commis« sioner, were in Butler Tuesday and gave us a pleasant call. Mr. Seibert has many strong friends in this county who would be giad to see him successful in his present aspirations. Joseph Pulitzer, editor and _pro- prietor of the New York World and formerly editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, is blind. The cause of his affliction is over work. He sailed for Europe on the 16th inst. with the hope that the oculists of the old world could give him that relief which the most eminent of home physicians have faied. He is One of the best newspaper men in America, if not in the world, a hard worker and great student. —=_— It is impossible to prophesy with any degree of certainty as to the outcome of the republican uational convention now in session in Chica- go. The adherents of Gresham, Depew, Ingalls, Sherman, Lincoln and other aspirants, are making des- perate for their favorites. The Blaine boom is not busted by a long ways and his friends are mak- ing a strong effort to crystalize the Opposition to the other aspirants Qround the Maine statesman. How well they will succeed the result will show, but it is evident the leaders of the republican party are for Blaine, while the voters are clamoring for the nominati some other man. With the same names to lead the the tickets as in Iss4 the result would be the same. And for that matter there is no man they could nominate who would fare any better in the tina! outcome. efforts The Tivgs should beread by every family in Bates county; the very k w price of 40 cents cash makes this possible. county.

Las Vegas, N. M.. June 1/.—In | Lincoln county last Thursday, about | eight miles below Lawes Panasco, difficulty arose between the Mackey | brothers, John and Milburn, and | two Texas parties named Green and | Owens, all well known men, over a! discrepancy of 50 cents in the settle- | ment of an account. The Mackeys finally went after their cattle when Green and Owens armed and follow- | ed them. Finally John Mackey rode up to | Natherline’s ranch, borrowed a re-| peating Winchester and returned, | when firing commenced. When the | smoke cleared away it was found that nine shots out of sixteen had | taken effect, and on going over the battlefield it was found that Owens | was killed and Green mortally wounded; Milburn Mackey had his left eye out and John Mackey a hole | in his left arm.

June 15.—Intelli- | gence of the death of Emperor Fred- erick was received by Secretary Bay- ard this morning by a cable message from the United States legation at Berlin. The secretary immediately informed the President, and the fol- lowing telegram was sent to Berlin: “Washington, June 15, 1888. “Pendleton, Minister, Berlin: “The President desires you to make expression. through the for- eign office, of the respectful sympa- thy felt througheut the United States for the German nation in the loss of their emperor who has at last yielded to death with such lofty courage and calm resignation to the divine decree. | “Bayarp.” | “Judgement of God.” | Mr. Cleveland can afford to bea little bit superstitious about the | name Daniel.

I refer eapecially to the tariff, the currency transpor- tation, the forfeiture of land grants, and the preservation of public lands for actual settlers. Definite legis- lation of some kind, good or bad, must crystalize around public senti- ment on all these questions, and I think the fruit is now ripe for pluck- ing.
