Rosser laid upon our table a neat little hand book containing an alphabetical list of the taxpayers of Bates county, by townships, with post office address of each. It is very convenient for business men wishing to send out ciaculars, etc., and speaks well for Mr. Rosser’s en- terprise.

Butler presented the Trvgs with o sample of California grapes. There were seven varie- ties, and they came from Rounda Beach, Los Angeles county, and were shipped to Mrs. Butler by Jas. P. Wygal, a former Bates Co. citizen. It was quite a treat to the Trurs, for which Mrs. Butler has our thanks. We sell a better boot for $2.50 than others sell for $3.00. Sam'l Levy & Co. We would that every resident of the state of Missouri, and hundreds of thousands from other states, could see the magnificent display of fruits grown by our farmers on their own farms in Missouri, now displayed in the finest room in the great St. Lou- is Exposition building. It far sur- passes any show of the kind ever made in the state, or by the state horticultural society, and tells in trumpet tones of the skill of the growers, the quality oftheirsoil and their advancement in the higher branches of agricultural exeellence. What the breeders of blooded stock are as representative men in that branch of farm business, these fruit ey are on top, and their skill re flects the eredit on the World. 2 | John T. Smith will} speak at Virginia on) next Saturday night. Farmer Jeffries Converted. Mattoon, Ill., Sept. 28.—Ralph | Jeffries, the leading republican farm- | er of Pleasant Grove, who recently declared for Cleveland and Thurmas, reaffirms his determination, regard- leas of the censure heaped upon him by republicans. He says this is a free country, and no one has any right to sit in judgment on his po- litical actions. He furthersaid: “I can see no reason for a farmer being in favor of more taxes than is neces- sary to discharge the expenses of the government. The hard times among farmers is caused by paying a war tax in time of peace. It oppresses them, and this injustice makes their lot in life a hard one. I have been a republican heretofore and have been honored by the republican party, but a sense of duty to myself and the farming class has prompted me to affiliate with the democratic party, as it best represents the in- terests of the laboring people; and hence I am for Cleveland, Thurman and the entire democratic ticket.” Plenty of six per cent money to loan. Privilege of paying part or all at any time before maturity and stop interest. 39 tf. Peacu & Spracus. Left to Perish in the Woods. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 27.—A dis- tressing incident is related by a passenger who came from the south on the Louisville and Nashville train yesterday. At Boyce Station, in Tennessee, it was learned that there was a woman on board who had come direct from a locality where the fever is raging. As soon as it came to the ears of the trainmen they went to the baggage car, got her trunk and threw it off. The train was stopped and the unfortunate woman was put off in the woods. It was all done so quickly that the train was moving away before the passengers knew what had happened. At any rate the people at Boyce station were 80 badly frightened that they will not care for her, and in all proba- bility she will wander about in the woods and die. We sell a calf boot at $2.50 that others sell for $3.50. Sam’l Levy & Co. A Bearer of False News Arrested. Houston, Tex., Sept. 27.—Yester- day afternoon on the arrival of the east bound Southern Pacific train, deputy state health officer, John Gray arrested John Deckard, a mail clerk running to this city, on the charge of circulating false rumora concerning the existence of yellow fever in Texas. He was released on bail and stated that while the train was at Sartartia, he, in conversation with W. H. Morrow, jokingly re- marked that there was yellow fever at Orange, but that he had no idea of circulating such a rumor. Tho only reason he said what he did was in reply to a jest of Mr. Morrow. He new sees the folly of his imprudent remark. Married, in this city, Sept. 29, 1888, by Esquire Cannon, W. H. Bell, of Kansas City, to Miss Addie Harris, of Butler. Where the Line Should be Drawn. Who should have thought to see old Boceacio’s delightful imagina- tions turned into reality in this age and country? News comes from Jacksonville that a party of a dozen young people have fled from the plague stricken city, as did the Florentines in the Italian's tales, and have made a camp for themselves at 8 delightful place in the country ser- eral miles away, where they are pass- ing the time as best they may until the plague is gone. “They say they are having lots of fun, under the cir- cumstances,” is the way the tele graph puts it. It is to be hoped that they are not taking the Decam- eron too literally for their text.—Ex. As you pass just step in and look at our large stock, and hear our low prices. A look will do yor good even if you don’t buy now. Sam’l Levy & Cos THE BEAN WILL CASE. Russell, the Disinterested Claimant of Administrative Power, Wins. Bonham, Tex., Sept. 26.—The | ' Tom Bean trial, which excited more in Texas courts, closed to-day. The trial was for admistratorship, the fight baing between H. P. Howard, post master of San Antonio, who, with Mrs. Sarah A. Dave of Wash- ington, D. C., claimed to be cousins | of Tom Bean and W. W. Russell of this city, who based his claims sim- } ply on being a disinterested citizen. | J. W. Saunders, the man who swears | to the remarkable statement that Tom Bean was his brother, who | interest than any case ever heard of | was compelled to change his name j } in order to conceal his identity on | account of a murder committed in / Tennessee in 1834, was an interven- or in this trial and urged the claims | of W. W. Russell. | The jury was out nearly twenty- four hours. The verdict was W. W. | Russell. In the last November county court Howard was thought to have presented undoubted evidence of | his relationship and was granted let- ters of administration, and the pres- ent trial was an appeal by Russell urged by Saunders. Howard’s at- torneys have filed a motion for a new trial, andif it not granted an appeal to the supreme court will be taken. The Bean estate is valued at $5,- 000,000, and a long series of litiga- tion promises to ensue among the claimants who have sprung up all over the United States. We sella better boot for $2.50 than others sell $3.00. Sam'l Levy & Co. Where, oh, where has the young man gone, who graduation clothes put on, sometime along the last of May, who owned the whole wide world for a day? And where is the sweet girl graduate, who chanted an essay dread with fate, and started out with a giggling frown to turn this old world upside down? And where is last year’s candidate, who had things fixed for this year’s slate? Who carried around, as you'd believe, a couple of counties in his sleeve? And where is the scribe with a vaunting will, who tried a long-felt want to fill, and courted shekels and renown with a minion paper in a burgeois town?. The lad has di- vided the world up fair, and holds but his own one billionth share; the sweet girl graduate is a grand sur- prise, and conquers the world with well-made pies; the candidate, with the breathless “gall,” is fixing for another fall; the daring scribe with haughty crest has gone the way of last year’s nest. So year by year and day by day the world runs on in the same old way; the balloon that’s the biggest round about is the flab- biest rag when the gas is out. We have the largest line of mens youth's, boys and childrens suits ever shown in any western city. Our prices are always the lowest. Saw't Levy & Co. From J. H. Stone and W. J. Bul- lock, of East Boone township, who were in Butler Monday after a coffin, we learned of the sudden death of Judge W. H. DeJarnett at his resi- dence Sunday evening. These gen- tlemen stated that Judge DeJarnett had been cémplaining for several days, but none of the family thought of him being seriously ill. On Sun- day Dr. Adair, of Archie, was sum- moned and gave him a dose of med- icine, shortly after which he dropped into a deep slumber and never awoke. Judge DeJarnett was about 46 years of age, a native of Kentucky, but has lived at his present home in East Boone township for eleven years. He was a consistent mem- ber of the M. E. church (south), and 80 lived as to gain the highest re- spect and friendship of his neigh- bors. He wasan honorable, upright | gentleman, a good neighbor and citizen and his loss to that neigh- borhood and county will be deeply felt. He was associate justice of our county court for two years, and so conducted himself in office that not the slightest reproach could attach tohis good name. He leaves a wife and children to mourn their loss. Coroner Rice, at the request of the family, held an inquest Monday. The jury returned a verdict that deceased came to his death from causes unknown to the jury. The best under shirt and drawers at 65c each ever sold in Butler. We bought 30 dozen, so you know they are cheap. Sam'l Levy & Co. | | ler Saturday. —GO TO—— H.C. WYATT & SON AND BUY WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN IN- THAT LUMBER The Largest and Mo TENDING TO GET. THEY HAVE IT AND WILL SELL IT CHEAP. Republican Convention. The republican county convention was held at the court heuse in But- P. H. Holcomb was elected chairman, O. D. Austin, sec- retary. The following ticket was put in the field: A.J. Smith, representa- tive; Wm. Page, prosecuting attor- ney; L. J. Burch, sheriff; L. B. Alli- son, surveyor; Fred Dorn, public administrator; Dr. T. C. Robinson, coroner; Clark Wix, judge of south district; J. H. Bowden, judge of north district; A. L. McBride, O. D. Austin, C. A. Denton, H. P. Hall, J. Q. A. Cope and P. H. Holcomb, were elected delegates to the sena- torial convention. Harmony was very thick through- out the proceedings. In fact, it was in the air, unlike it is in the demo- cratic convention where every man wants an office, every delegate was bent on complimenting some other republican. The desire to be sacri- ficed on the altar did not predomi- nate to any great extent. It is a good ticket for democrats to beat, and they will do it with an increased majority.
