The latter part of last week, a low heavy set woman, heavily veiled and representing herself to have come from Kansas City, entered the jewel- ry store of N. B. Jeter, on the west side of the square and proposed to sell him a lot of unset diamonds, but refused to exhibit the precious stones or divulge her name. Cy Patton says the woman got off the 12:45 train and walked to town. The matter was placed in the hands of the police by Mr. Jeter, but as there was no conclusive evidence that the woman had the goods or was a thief, she was not arrested, and departed as mysteriously as she came.

Henry Younger. Ithas been an open secret in} Bates county for a number of years that Capt. Walley, formerly of But- | | ler, now of Kansas City, was instru- | mental in the killing of Col. Henry | Younger, the father of the famous ring the war, for the purpose of rob- bery. Gen. Jo. O. Shelby stated to a Times representative last week that this was a serious mistake. That Jeff Younger, of St. Clair county, uncle ot the Younger boys, was at his house one day last week, and in- formed him that one Capt. Stephens was the man murdered Col. Younger, that the Younger brothers knew this was the reason they never molested Capt. Walley. This being the case we are very glad that jus- tice can at last be done Capt. A. G. Walley, and his skirts cleared of so who foul and damning acrime.

The Adrian Advertiser heretefore democratic has been merged into a republican paper, the name changed to the Adrain Journal. The change was brought about by a boy- cott from the republican merchants of that town, so said Mr. Kirkpat- rick the proprietor. The paper was bought by a stock company and henceforth will be edited by O. M. Smith. Now what is sauce for the goose ought to be sauce for the gan- der, and if the democratic merchants ofthat place should enter into a schee to retaliate the paper will have rough road to travel. and The Elwood (Ind.)
