R. J. Starke arrived in town Satur- | day on his way home from Kansas City. He spent five days in the city | and saw many old acquaintances. | ———— i BUTLER WEEKLY TIMES. | LOCAL ITEMS NOTICE TO TEACHERS :—Public Ex- ynations for the benefit of those per- = desiringto teach in Bates county, be held on the 3d Saturday of each thinthe Ohio street school house, gutler, Mo., and on the 1st Saturday of ach month in the West side school house, Hill, Mo., the exacrinaton) com: each day at 9 o’clock, A. M, “poy va W. W. GRAVES. County School Commissioner. The cheering reports brought to | town by our farmers of a bright | prospect for a bountiful crop this | year greatly stimulates al! kinds of business. Dr. S. K. Williams, of Foster, has been conplimented by the Clinton convention with the honor of a nom- ination for state senator on the pro- | hibition ticket. The corn and the democratic party gre booming. Bro. Aus. failed to say a word shout the free whisky plank The campaign battle cry of the re- publican party is free whisky and to- bacco, - and high tariff on all necessa- ries. Farmers will you support such a platform. Dr. John A. Brooks, prohibition candidate for vice-president, de- nounces the republican platform in the bitterest language. He has no use for that free whisky and free tobacco plank. Miss Alice Ludwick went up to Creighton last week on a visit. T. J. Davis was granted a divorce from his wife by the court Friday. Mrs. Lewis Page, of Adrian, was visiting Mrs. Wm. Page last week. 40 cents cash will get the Tres from now until after the election. The republicans bank on Harri- son’s soldier record pulling him through. Why, then, were they so enthusiastic for Blaine? The only record he has as a soldier is that he hired a substitute. Miss Emma Levy of St. Louis, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Sam Levy. Rev. A. B. Francisco, of Lee’s Sum- nit, held services at the C. P. church Wednesday evening. Dave Colyer returned home Satur- day, but left again in the evening and will be absent eight or ten days, when he will come home and make an active canvass of the county for the nomination for sheriff. The citizens of Hume have raised. sflag pole in that town which mea- sures 75 feet. The union labor party will meet in Nevada, July 20th, to nominate a candidate for Congress. Your attention is called tothe pro- fessional card of Dr. E. L. Rice, in another column. His office can be found over Graves’ harness shop, in one of the new buildings on the west side of the square. Prof. and Mrs. Starr attended the meeting of the chautauqua club at Warrensburg last week. The Presbyterians are in luck this year. Both Cleveland and Harrison are members of that church. , Dr. Winsett and wife, of Blue Mound, visited his father's, John Winsett’s family, in Summit town- A fire in Clinton Thursday morn- ing destroyed Pollard & Steele's stock of boots and shoes. The building which was badly damaged belonged to R. Weil, father of L. A. Wiel, boot & shoe merchants of this city. ship, last week. The Trwzs should be read by every family in Bates county; the very low price of 40 cents cash makes this possible. We print in another column Mr. Trish's reply to an editorial in last week’s Democrat, relative to the Col.’s candidacy for the state sena- torship. The reply is manly and fully explains the matter. The democrats of this county are united this year and will stand shoulder to shoulder for the success of the party. The Times is sorry to learn of the death of uncle Mart Owen, of Grand River township, one of our most es- teemed citizens. We did not learn the cause of his death but suppose it was principally old age. His fun- eral took place Saturday. Miss Fannie Robertson, of St. Louis, daughter of the late Bishop Robertson, is visiting Miss Sallie Brugler. Jimmy Burgess, indicted on the charge of stealing a watch from Al. Hartman, had his trial Thursday and was acquitted by the jury. Why is it the republican papers are offering so many apologies for Mr. Blaine. If he was not a candi- date and they are perfectly satisfied with their nominee we fail to see the necessity of so much fuss and feath- ers over Blaine’s declination. Wm. Page returned from his trip to the Chicago convention and visit to relatives and friends in the east, Tuesday of last week. The republican party threw off their heretofore catch-prohibition- votes mask at the Chicago convention and come square out for free whisky. Roy E. Pratt and Miss Kate Cameron, a young society couple of Appleton City, were united in mar- riage in the parlors of the Palace hotel in this city, by Rev. A. Walker, Friday evening at 4 o'clock. After the ceremony the couple took the evening train for Kansas City. Are you weak and weary, overwork- edand tired? Hood’s Sarsaparilla is just the medicine to purify your blood and give you strength. Hon. John T. Crisp, the romeo of the forests and the untamed tiger of the jungles, will deliver the 4th of July oration at Rich Hill to-day. There is one thing we can not quite see through, and that is just how Bro. Aus. is going to blend his local option plank into the republican platform without being stigmatized as a two-faced man. But wewill bet he finds a crack somewhere to slip through. The republicans are making ten times as much fuss over the return of Blaine to the United States than over the nomination of Harrison and Morton. In looking after the doubtful states the republicans ought to have had one more chance to save Ohio.

She was accompanied on her journey a8 far as Kansas City by Mr. Walton.

The political caldron is beginning to boil in state politics. More par- ticular in the democratic party, from the fact that it is the dominant party of the state. And while it is not the Prominent Butler republican ex- plaining the political situation on our street: “With a preacher on the national ticket we are sure to cap- ture the prohibitionists of New York! Why, wasn’t Morton minister to France under Garfield’s adminis tration?” Such fellows never let pass an opportunity to bore a crowd ex- plaining the tariff. A fearful accident befell three workmen on the New York life in- surance building in Kansas City Thursday, by the giving way of a scaffold 5 stories high on which they were working. It is saida knot-hole in one of the brackets was the cause of the disaster which hurled the three brick masons down to almost instant death. We Won't Waitl For weather, or We take pleasure in calling theat- tention of our readers to the adver- tisement of H. C. Wyatt & Son, lum- ber dealers, on Ohio street. This yard is well stocked with all kinds of lumber, paints, sand, lime, cement, doors, moldings &., and you will find their prices areas low as the lowest, and both clever and aecom- modating to do business with. Giye them a call and see if what we have said is not true. Dr. L. O’Rear has rented the Don Kinney property, in the northwest part of the city, and will occupy it with his family in about a week. The doctor is a most estimable gentleman and it is expected that the good peo- ple of Butler will give his family a hearty welcome to our city. Those desiring his professional services can find him either at his office on the east side of the square or resi_ dence. Wa Kee, the Chinese laundryman, who has been on a peddling tour south returned home last week. On arriving he was informed by some one that the republican convention at Chicago had nominated his warm friend, Ben. Harrison, of Indiana, for president. Wa Kee immediately went into a fit of eestasy, illuminated his laundry and had a regular pyro- technic display, and a general good time. He says all the Chinamen are tor Harrison because he is their friend. | SIGH FOR THE SEASONS.
