Almost every hog that could be made to| weigh a hundred pounds has been | shipped. The bill to open up the Okalaho- ma country was brought up before! congress Wednesday last, and thej prospects are favorable that it will | pass. J. H. Sisson made a flying trip to Henry county to visit his mother ; last week. He was accompanied by his daughter, Miss Mamie, who will spend the hot month at her grand- mother’s. @ G. L. Motter, of the Rich Hill manufacturing Co., was in the city yesterday and gave us a pleasant call.

For several days he has been using a galvanic battery and thinks it has greatly helped him.

Tins- ley, assisted by Rev. Stockton of this city, closed Wednesday evening last with eleven conversions. Our railroad committee should not lose sight of the fact that the sur- veyors of the ’Frisco are coming this way running line to Kansas City. If this road is built Butler ought to have a finger in it. The congressional convention of the Union Labor party, which met in Nevada last week, nominated Ava E. Page, of this county, for congress. T. J. Henderson and W. O. Atkeson, also of this county, were placed in nomination. Atkeson’s name was withdrawn. Henderson received 15 votes and Page 33. Prof. Allison desires us to inform the public that he will open a select school in the upper story of the opera house, early in September. Prof. Allison, is an excellent instructor, with many years of experience, and pupils could not be entrusted into safer hands. Nevada Noticer:—A delegate from one of the backwoods counties called at the Nevada gas works a short time since to “look around.” After viewinge verything to his satisfaction he said: “I was here about a year ago, and never saw no well that had gas init. Have you got it so roast- ed that the rain won't spoil it?” On being answered in the affirmative the backwoods delegate went his way rejoicing. Was this our Billey Bridgeford? While crossing a bridge with a thresher at Lexington Saturday, the bridge broke through and a man named William Shook was caught under the thresher and killed. His stomach was torn open, his legs crushed to a jelly, and while he cried piteously for help, the- escaping jsteam poured into his face | death ved him.

McConnell, were united in marriage Sunday evening at the residence of the groom by Esq. Newsom. The Tues extends its congratulations. Col. Robert G. Ingersoll delivered the funeral oration over the body of Courtlandt Palmer. While the Col. has his hand in as a funeral orator, the republican party should engage his services for November. County clerk Harper, has just re- ceived from the state the ennumera- tion list andapportionment of school moneys by counties in the state. Outside of Jackson, Buchanan and St. Louis, Bates leads the van with 10,860, children of school age, with an apportionment of $9,823.40. We see by the Washington dis- patches that the name of Christopher C. Duke has been sent by the Presi- dent to the Senate for confirmation as Butler's P. M.. vice N. 7A. Wade resigned. The Times may be pre- mature in giving news that some par- ties would like to keep quiet, but she usually gets there, all the same. The affidavits of Eliza Pinkston and John A. Hornsby, ought to be pinned together. The former aid- ed by the electoral commission cheated Mr. Tilden out of the presi- dency, and the latter assisted by the Kansas City Times is trying to keep Mr. Francis out of the gubernatorial chair. “Birds of a feather flock to- gether.” The Bates county Normal Institute will open Monday, August 6th, under the management of Prof. J. M. Shel- ton, of Kansas City, Mo., and County Commissioner W. W. Graves. A thorough course of study has been prepared on Normal work and every teacher in the county should be pres- ent. The expenses are as low as could be expected considering the fact that our State makes no provis- ions for the expenses of this work. The Institute last year, under the same management, proved a grand success and we are assured that greater efforts will be made this year. Prof. Shelton has had eight years of experience in this kind of work and our teachers should avail themselves of his experience. Letevery teacher take. the full course. One S. F. Norton, claiming to be editor of the Chicago Sentinel, a labor union paper, worked his bel- lows for upwards of four hours in the court yard to a crowd of citizens one evening last week. His speech if you could call it a speech, was the thinest quality of wind pudding, chin music ever wafted to the breezes from a goods box in the court yard. and vice-president. taken in TAKING WATER. | The Republican Leaders are Afraid of Protection. Washington, July 25—A tariff conference of the republican senators was held at Senator Evart’s resi- dence to-night at which a decision was reached that the finance com- mittee should prepare a tariff bill as a substitute for the Mills bill and that it should then be reported to the senate and taken up and passed regardless of the length of time this might require. Various propositions looking to an early adjournment and a postpone- ment of the tariff battle until De- cember was suggested, but the ar- gumeuts advanced by the advocates of the policy of passing a Dill and making the direct issue as early as | possible were so strong, that the as- | semblage became emphatically unan- | imous in favor of the course finally | adopted. It was urged that the democratic house had taken its time and consumed many months in fram- | ing and debating the measure it had put forth and that the republican senate would not be curtailed of its full liberty of action on a question which so vitally affected the interests of the country and of the republican party. \ The finance committee was in- structed to continue its work and bring it to a conclusion as speedily as it could consistently with a care- ful performance of the task allotted to it. The bill will be an outgrowth of that already sketched by the sub- committee, but the views expressed by senators to-night and approved by a majority of the senate will doubtless lead to some modification and change of detail. The net re- duction of revenue to be attained will probably be between $65,000,- 000 and $80,000,000. The conference adjourned at mid- night. Opened Up Again. F. M. Crumly is now fully estab- lished in his new quarters on the west side of the square, with a new and complete stock of drugs, toilet articles, paints, oils, &c. We are sure his many friends and former patrons will be glad to learn the above, and that he will not be long in sharing the same liberal support from our citizens he had in former days. Mr. Crumly is a perfect gen- tleman, reliable, correct’ and accom- modating, and the Tres, in speaking good word for him, welcomes him back to the Electric City, and may the best of successattend him.

THIS SPACE IS RESERVED FOR THE ADVERTISMENT OF C. B. LEWIS HE the following compliment: “In Bates county, Mo., Mr. D. A. Colyer, a former citizen of Knox county, Ky., but who for a long time has been a resident of his adopted State, is a candidate for the demo- cratic nomination for sheriff. Many of our older citizens remember Mr. Colyer as a thorough gentleman. a true blue democrat and possessed of such qualifications as fitted him for the office he is now seeking. If the democrats of Bates county, Missouri, select him their candidate for the important office of sheriff, we feel sure that they will have acted wisely and will receive the heart felt thanks of his many friends in his old Ken- tucky home.” “The President took just as great Judge Calvin F. Boxley, the old Roman of democracy in this county, announces with us and asksthe party to give him the nomination for pros- | ecuting attorney. In return for this compliment he promises to faithfully demean himself in office and guard the interests of the people to the best of his ability. Judge Borley has lived in this county too long and | is too well known to need any word of praise from us. He is a triedand | true democrat, a man of more than! ordinary legal attainments, and is one of the oldest practitioners atthe Bates county bar. He would make a most excellent prosecuting attor- ney.
