Campaign Tres 25 cents cash. Aand C. Vantrees and their fam- fies visited Pleasant Hill last week joattend a family reunion. A Kansas man painted his house with phosphorus in honor of the presidential nominees, and the first night the fire company smashed out all his windows and drenched the | carpets trying to extinguish the fire | before the patriotic man could ex- plain the situation. Judge J. N. Ballard said to a Times reporter Saturday, that he would not be a candidate for rep- resentative at this time under any cir- cumstances. That a number of his friends have urged him to make the race, for all of which he is duly thankful, but he has neither the time nor the inclination to run for any office at this time. Chas. and Lewis Vought. Geo. Knott, sr., and Geo. Knott. jr.. of Prairie township, were tried before ‘Squire Cannon on the 10th inst., on the Charge of assaulting Willis Kearn.

His speech ; was confined almost exclusively to | the leading issues of the day,the tariff, | andwas the most forciblearguments | on this all important question we | j ever heard. For over two hours the Col. held his large audience with the deepest interest. His explanation | of the tariff was made very clear and | was understood by all present. and | the Times is only sorry that every } j | | farmer in the county could not have | had the pleasure of hearing him. The speech showed throughout that the speaker had given the subject | upon he talked deep and searching thought, aud it should be printed in pamphlet form by the campaign committee and placed in | the hands of every voter in this state, as we feel sure that it would | do much good and greatly enlighten which Alen Wright, Chas Radford and frank Lafollet, gave us a pleasant all Thursday. Thos. Wilson, of Kansas City, was ‘Tis the city Monday visiting his sister Mrs. D. V. Brown. The city council of Clinton passed mordinance last week to macadam- ize the square.

Sly before the primaries of St. Clair county, for representative, last week by over two to one. Harry Potts, the little son of Ed. Potts, of Summit township, was bitten by a dog Sunday. It was asevere wound in the face, and nas eaused the parents much uneasiness. We are requested to announce that the sociable of the First Pres- byterian church will be held at the residence of Dr. Frizell, next Tues- day evening. All are cordially in- ited. Mis Nettie Vancamp, for the past year connected with one of the larg- est millenery establishments in Kan- sas, is home ona short vacation to visit her parents and many friends in this city. The north main street car stables at Wichita, Kan., burned on the 11th inst. There were 83 mules in the stables at the time, and 40 were burned to death and ten had to be shot. — Perry Morgan, living near Corn- land, was tried Friday before Squire Cannon on a charge of drawing a pistol on Dr. Elder. He was fined $50 and, not being able to pay the same, was sent to jail. Allen Wright, of Summit town- ship, informs us that he has lost three hogs of late, believed to be af- flicted with hydrohphobia. He had adog go mad some time ago, which he killed. g Judge W. L. Jett, of Frankfort, Ry., at present post office inspector, was in the city Saturday and made us a pleasant call. He is an old friend of the family of the editor, and is one of the prominent men of » Central Kentucky. Our esteemed friend, Cart. Wal- lace, who was in the city Saturday, informed us that a fine girl baby arrived at his house Monday. He now has an interesting family of six, four boys and two girls. Shall we name this one Omego? We get it from good republican The report is current on our streets that Col. N. A. Wade resign- ed his position as postmaster at this place Monday. It is also rumored that C. C. Duke will be his sueces- sor. In addition to this piece of news it is winked that ere long the office will be moved to the west side of the square. Col. E. H. Brown is now busy formulating plans for his Eldorado railroad. He anxious for the people of Nevada to take hold of the enterprise, and if they refuse he will get assistance from Walker Station and run the road to that point. The iron has been contracted for and the road will be built without further delay, says Col. Brown. is It is customary with the Tives when a candidate announces to give him 2 complimentry notice and in- troduce him to the public. But owing to the crowded condition of the paper this week, we ask the in- dulgence, for one week, of the fol- lowing named gentlemen, who an- nounce with us this week: Oscar Reeder, Sam’l Fisher, Dixie L. Hag- gard, D. W. Cloud, A. A. Conard and F. Fix. H. Martin Williams, the man that has been in every party known to American politics, and the biggest dead beat on the continent, has made another flop. This time he flops into the democratic party, and will make his first speech at Hillsboro, in Jef- ferson county. When H. Martin dies the undertaker will have to kill his mouth or he will talk him out of a fourth-class funeral. Silas Levy returned from St. Louis Sunday night, where he had been to attend the funeral of his father. Sam’l Levy and family go to Sweet Springs the last of the week, where Mrs. L. and children will remain during the remainder of the summer. Mr. Levy will be home in a day or so. Silas informs us his father's death was very sudden and unexpect- ed to the family, as they hoped and expected he would live for many years yet. We see by the Kansas City Star that Geo. F. Williams, charged with embezzling the proceeds of a car load of canned goods valued at $500, shipped to the commission house of Williams & Roberts, Kansas City, by an Arkansas canning company, was fully exhonorated, and each have brought suit for $5.000 damages for false arrest and injury to business. We were loath to believe that George would be guilty of this grave charge and are glad to learn that his good name has not been impeached. Monday a little mill took place in the alley behind the stores on the north side of the square, and was witnessed by quite a number of gen- tlemen, including the marshal. The combatants were Mag Delaney. a weak-minded white woman, and appeal. The fight occurred at the} those who are halting and ponder- German Lutheran church at Prairie | ing in regard to this tariff question, City, about the 18th of June. which President Cleveland has made ‘ i _ | the leading issue of this campaign. In a discussion of Mr. Jay Gould's ie pals attitude toward the stock market in the financial column of the Sun last Saturday the following statements “Mr. Gould's fighting days, both in and out of Wall street are over. The retirement at first may have been voluntary, but nature has enforced it with a power that may never relent. Mr. Gould may intrench his fortune, and defend it through others, but the days for in- creasing it by rapid and skillful strokes are numbered.” The colonel is a candidate for elec- tor from this district. and as he is a power en the stump we know of no better man in the district that would fill the place, therefore wouid like to see him get it. The Thurman club did yeoman seryice on the occasion, were made: making an excellent street parade, and showing themselves very proficient in their drill, retlecting credit upon the of- ficers.

General Harrison appears in the canvass as the representative of high and higher protection, and of free whisky and tobacco, rather than a lighter duty upon any class article produced in this country. In other words, he is for an average tax of 47 per cent, instead of 40 per cent, and fora profuse and consequently de- moralizing expenditure of a surplus instead of leaving it in the pockets of the tax-payers.— Harper's Weekly. Fatal Fourth of July Fights. Springfield, Mo., July 6.—Reports from the back counties just coming in indicate that the Fourth was cele- brated in lively style. At Mansfield a party of farmers engaged in a free- for-all fight. There weresix of them and but one is left to tellethe tale, the others being dead or badly hurt. At Walnut Grove Will Merritt and John Claypool got drunk in a livery | stable. One bottle of beer was left | and with this Claypool knocked Mer- ritt down under a horse’s heels, where he was kicked to death. At Hallville Dan Mitchell stabbed W. Scott fatally. The Old Koman’s family physician To Prepare tor Death and see His Fath- er—Why Commutation was Refused. Jefferson City, Mo., July 13.—Af- ter hearing the governor’s decision yesterday in the case of young Brooks his attorneys asked for a respite of twenty-eight days in which to prepare for death and give his father time to arrive at St. Louis from his home in Hyde, England for a last visit to his son. In declining to grant the request; for a commutation governor More- house gave as his reason that the su- preme court has passed upon the question of a fair trial and decided that Brooks had had a fair trial; that it would be no rebuke to the city at- torney and detective Dingfelter to show leniency toward Brooks; that he believed Brooks was guilty and that his punishment was just. Mayor Francis, although running against the entire field, is undoubt- edly in the lead. His honesty has been well established by the bursting of the “grain gambling” canard, and his ability yet remains unquestioned.

The managers of the Sabine Pass railroad are now talking business and their actions are beginning to look as theugh they meant business. The Kansas City Times says: Capt. Anderson, general manager, has just returned from New York, where he completed all necessary financial arrangements. He has let the con- | tracts for the grading, ties. iron and 1 bridging for that portion of the road between Pierce City and Lamar. The | object of beginning the construction of the road at Pierce City is explain- | edby saying thatit is done to shut out school house and a Cleveland and Thurman club of 48 members organ- ized, and the following officers were elected: president, J. C. Phillips; vice-president, W. H. Caldwell; See. Jas. Arnold; treasurer, F. Golladay. The young democratic Thurman club of this city went out and as- sisted in the organization. The Summit club will meet again to morrow night when additional names will be enrolled. We received last week from Siegel, Cooper & Co., of Chicago, a hand- some picture of Cleveland & Thur- man.
