We | imagine the meeting will be a happy and pleasant one. Mrs. E. A. Henry returned to But- | ler Monday from Kansas City. She | informs us that her husband, Judge | Henry,will bring their team through \the country in a féw days. The | Times welcomes Judge and Mrs Henry back to Butler, and we trust they will conclude to locate with us once more. L. W. Beck, a prominent farmer | of New Home township, was in the city Saturday and gave us a pleas- ant and substantial call. ed us that ex-county Mine Inspector J. H. Whitehead, has leased and is operating a coal bank in Kansas, just He inform- over the Ime from Walnut township. He has secured a switch to his bauk aud reports that he is doing well } with a bright prospect for an in- creased trade. S. C. Rogers, a prominent young democrat of Pleasant Gap township, left for Bagnell, Miller county, Mo., on last Wednesday evening, where he expects to embark in the grocery business. Mr. Rogers is an honora ble, enterprising young gentleman, reliable in all his transactions, and the Times congratulates the citizens of that town on receiving 80 ble a citizen. valua- The Tres sympathises with Jim Crabtree, who for the past year has been gradually losing his eyesight from paralysis of the optical nerves. At present he can barely sec enough to get about without assistance; Becom ing disabled from manual labor, he opened a poultry yard at his home ashort distance south town and with the assistance of his mother will devote his attention hereafter to raising fine chickens for sale. He will raise a large variety and persons wishing fine fowels should patron- ize him. About as gauzy a political trick as was ever played in Butler was the attempt on Monday evening of a few parties to spring a tax-payers convention on the peopletwo months before the city election, with only an hour or two notice. No man can be found who will admit to making the call or knowing anything at all about it. It is just a little bit strange that men like Col. Pace, Judge Brown and Gentry West, who have feasted at the democratic table, should take part in a conven- tion of this kind and attempt to nominate Capt. Hannah for the im- portant office of mayor, before con- sulting their own party, in conven- tion assembled, as to the propriety of such a course. E. E. Kimball, of Nevada defeat- ed candidate for governor, is being boosted for United States District Attorney. For aught we know Mr. Kimball may be a suitable man for the position. But there is one thing about it,when a republicanis is to be selected for this important office the Times would like to see the man- tle of office fall on the shoulders of our fellow townsman P. H. Hol- combe, Mr. Holcombe is not only auelegant gentleman but a fine lawyer as well, and would fill the office to the satisfaction of the dis- trict. When the time comes for the change, the preference of the Tres over any other republican in the district is our esteemed fellow citi- zen, and we believe with proper ef- fort on the part of his friends in this city and district he could secure the appointment.

Late Monday evening small dodg- ers were thrown on the streets call- ing for a tax-payers convention to meet at the court house to nomi- There were no About eight o'clock quite a crowd jority through curiosity and with no intention of taking part in the pro- ceedings. The object of the meet- ing Was soon made apparent by the active interest of a few to manipue late the affair. The meeting was called to order by Judge Brown and Judge Cannon was elected ebair- man. The names of J. D. Allen and George Canterbury were pro- but both of these gentlemen positively refused to act in this capacity. Hon. Wm. O. Jackson took the floor and in- posed for secretary, sisted that any action taken by a convention of this kind was prema- ture, considering the fact that neith- er of the political parties had placed a ticket in the field, it could not be told what kind of men they would nominate, and that they should wait until after these conventions before steps of th 1 should be taken, and made a motion that the conven tion adjourn. Hon. Simuel P. Fran- cisco said that he was a dight tax- payer only and that if the eavy tax-payers wanted to nominate im he didn’t think the light taxpayers should object conse- ticket quently he was only an interested spectator. Mr. was lost. Judge Levy said that he had been attracted by the call and if the object of the meeting was to nominate heavy tax- payers and good men to manage the city affairs that he was in hearty ac cord with the meeting, or words to that effect, stating at the same time that he was not a candidate for any office. Judge Lefker had similar views and believed that the interests of the town demanded that the heavy tax-payers should be nominat- ed. Hon. W. B. Bridgeford was then elected secretary, in spite of his protests. Judge D. V. Brown, to the surprise of his many democratic friends, placed Capt. John W. Hiu- nah in nomination for mayor. Be- ing the only nominee the vote was taken resulting in four votes being cast, three for and one against. Col. Bridgeford got the floor and made a motionto adjourn. Col. Pace attempted to beat the indomi- table Bridgeford down by moving Jackson's motion — | How many people read our advertisements, and which paper is our best medium.
