The horse stuck a nail in his foot some time ago which made him lame for a few days, and from the effects of which it is sup- posed blood poison set in. A day or so before his death he took the lock jaw. and his suffering was in- tense. Mr. Wright said his flesh became so hard oyer his entire body it could not be dented. x We have just received and placed on our tables an entire new line of toboggans and hoods at lower prices than ever bafore offered. Sam Levy & Co. The Garrick and Sturgeon opera eompany, which played three nights in our opera house last week, did not receive the patronage from our theaire going people they deserved.

If such a method is | carried out by the democrats, hun- }dreds of negroes in Ralls county | will be compelled to seek homes | elsewhere.—Ralls County Record. | Individual democrats should not | hold the ignorant negro responsible | for voting the republican ticket, and |should the Rails county plan of | punishing them spread to any great {extent throughout the state, the coon would either have to emigrate or starve. The Ties regrets very much to be compelled to record the death of Wells Willard, which occurred at the residence of his father, Hatzel Willard, on Ft. Scott street at 10 o'clock Sunday night. He has been quite sick for several weeks with tonsilitis, of which he was slowly recovering, and the cause of his death, which was very sudden and unexpected, was heart disease. He was about 27 years of age and an exemplary young man and highly esteemed by our entire community. For the past two years he has been an apprentice in the dental office of his brother-in-law, Dr. W. E. Tucker, and soon would have coppleted his course. He showed great promise and we are informe! would have proven an expert in the fine arts of his profession. The funeral services took place at the Christian church, of which he was a consistent mem- ber, at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, after which the remains were con- veyed to Oak Hill cemetery followed by relatives and a large circle of friends.

The Trivers, after taking a birds-eye view of Geo. W. Weaver's mammoth holiday stock of imported plush goods now on eshibition at his store under the Palace hotel, will say, that itis by far the most elegant and superb stock of toilet articles ever placed on exhibition in the city ef Butler. Mr. Weaver made a special effort this season to please the people in this line of goods, and well has he performed his duties. His line of fine cabinet albums can- not be excelled in any market, the stock is large and embraces all the latest paterns, they are perfectly beautiful and must be seen to be appreciated. In toys of all kinds and every description he has an im- mense stock, enough to supply the entire county. Before you buy we ask you to call and examine his Christmas goods, and especially his plush toilet artieles and all designs in plush albums. Remember his store is under the Palace hotel, and his accommodating clerks will take pleasure in showing goods. Weaver's Holid Farmers Attention!

They will appear at the opera house in “Wanted, the Earth,” a comedy said to have been | written for and especially adapted to the best powers of Mr. Dillon. Mr. Dillon has played almost ev- ery line of comedy from the leading roles in the old standard English comedies to Pitticus Green in “Ha- zel Kirke,” in which latter character he made a great success with the original Madison Square Company. He is a comedian both by nature and art, and age and continuous ap- plication seem only to have ripened his powers into the fullest realiza- tion of the characters assumed, with- out any apparent effort on the part of the actor.

The case which attracted the mest interest at the last term of our cir- cuit court was that of George Malo- ney charged with abducting Miss DeArmon, of Adrian. The case was tried Friday and Saturday, the jury failing to agree. It appears that some time during the early sum- mer Maloney induced this young lady who was attending school at the time, in Butler, to take a drive with him. They did not return until the next morning, when the young lady claimed that Maloney had tried to force her to marry him, threatening to kill her and drove all right. Fi- nally fearing violence athis hand she gave her consent in order te return home. He then wrote her several threatening letters, and wrote one to her mother, saying he would surely kill Amy. Maloney is avery bad boy. He was indicted by the grand jury about a year ago for stealing a span of mules at which time Miss DeArmon was a very important witness in clearing him. Whether young Maloney meant to carry his threats of ven- geance into execution or not, he is not showing a very manly course in persecuting a young lady, and if her father cannot protect her the law should. re Sherman's friend ‘ail agree that | “Blaine can go into the cabinet if he wants to,” but they are unani-/ mously of good for such 2 subordinate place. | Mr. Halstead has even gone so far! &s to print a cartoon showing the | Cabinet a: in and Blaine as an elephant twice | as big.

As soon as the American negro seeks to rise above the level of the former time he finds himself con- fronted with the past of his race, and the woes of his kindred. The white man traces his ancestry back for generations; knows whence they came; where they lived; and guesses what they did. To the American negro, the past is only darkness re- plete with unimaginable horrors. Ancestors he has none. Until with- in a quarter of a century he had no record of his kindred—only a sire and adam. Being bred for market, hehad no name,only adistinguishing appellative like that of a horse ora dog.
