Times extends sympathy to the be- reaved parents in their great loss. We learned from B. H. Smith, who was in the city Thursday that the safe in the store house of John Ganz & Co., at Sprague, was blown open by burglars Wednesday night, and $40 in cash carried away. The thieves pulled the safe to the back part of the room, bored a couple of holes in the door and filled them with powder, and after covering the safe with sacks of flour to deaden the sound touched off the fuse. Arch L. Sims, formerly of Butle:, now in the real estate business at Mt. Vernon, Mo., was in the city last week visiting his relatives and friends. We learn that Arch has been very successful in his , financial ventures and has also become. very prominent and wields considerable political influence in his new home. We are always glad to hear favora- ble reports of the Butler boys, no matter to what portion of the globe they may emigrate. John H. Beatty, one of Bates county's most valuable and esteemed citizens, died of Pneumonia, at his residence near Ballard in Spruce township Wednesday, Jan. 234d, 1889. His death was very sudden, he only being sick about five days Mr. Beatty was a stout, hearty man and his untimely death will be a great surprise to his many friends in this city and county. The funer al took place from ‘his home, under the auspices of the Masons and Odd Fellows, he being a member of both orders. Having received word that Judge E. A. Henry was quite sick in Kan- sas City, his wife who has been in this city for the past week awaiting his arrival, left Saturday morning to join him. We hope his sickness will be of short duration and that in a few days he will be able to come on to this city. Mrs. F. J. Tygard and Mrs. T. Hiter Crockett, went to Rich Hill on last Thursday, for the purpose of examining costumes and investiga- ting the expenses in the Milk Maid carnival, recently held in that city. The ladies of the M. E. church, we understand, are endeavoring to hold a similar carnival at this place, which will be announced at a future date. Young Hyson, the tinest quality 25 cents per pound at Sam Walls. It 1s with many regrets the Tres is called on this week to inform the public of the death of our young and esteemed friend Frank Pierce, son of J. S. Pierce, who departed this life at the home of his father in the north part of town, Monday night between 11 and 12 o'clock. He had been sick with consumption for sev- eral months, and bore his ailments with fortitude. Frank was born and reared inthis county, and being a young man of exemplary habits had won the friendship and esteem of all who knew him, and it is sad to see him thus cut down at the age of 19 years. The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. W. A. Walker, at the family residence to day at 11 o'clock, after which the remains will be conyeyed to the cemetery near Virginia, and laid to rest beside his mother who preceded him but two months. In the loss of a wife and son, mother and brother, in so short atime, the remainder of this once happy family, father and son have the deepest sympathies of this entire community in this sad hour of their affliction.

Lane shipped a car load of poul- try from Butler on yesterday, con- sisting of 750 turkeys and 3,500 chickens. All of the coops for ship- ping were made here in Butler, thus keeping money at home for labor and lumber. Mr. Lane paid a good price for this poultry and we trust he may be able to derive legitimate profits for its sale. Geo. W. Weaver moved into his new quarters next door to Butler National Bank, last week. E. S. Carrithers left for the east Friday night to lay in his spring stock of clothing. Henry Donovan is confined to his bed with sciatic rheumatism, at his home one-half mile east of Butler. We publish in another column tha statement of the Butler Building & Loan association, which shows this association to bein a flourishing con- dition with nearly all its money loaned on good security. Twenty- four dollars has been paid in on each share aud the shares are now worth $38.06. From the statements pub- lished in the Building & Loan Jour- nal, of St. Louis, this association is leading all others in the state. Its gain has been 574 per cent while the next best is 53} per cent. Dell Cobb, formerly editor of the Rich Hill Herald, now of Silver City, New Mexico, was in the city on Monday and gave us a pleasant call.

Pleasant township, subject to the action of the demo- cratic party, announces with us this week. In the first instance we can say for Frank, that he is one of our rising young men, and a simon pure democrat. As to his qualifications we point you to his official record of Summit township, the people being so well pleased with him that he was unanimously renominated against his protest. If Frank is nominated he will make the township an officer that all parties will be satisfied with. He is young, tnergetic, reliable, pose sesses sterling qualities, sober, a natural collector and will make just such an officer as the business public want. Harris & Lisle want all the mules they can get from 15 to 17 hands high, 4 to6 years old. sound and in good flesh. John Hartman, postmaster at Rockville, has resigned and Nathan A- Ritchie was appointed in his stead. As will be noticed in another col- umn the chairman of the city demo- cratic committee has made a call for a democratic meeting to-morrow night to consider the propriety of nominating a straight democratic ticket. The Tresis decidedly in fayor of keeping up the the party organization, and putting in the field the very best men we have for the city offices. Unlike some others we are loth to admit that we have not as good material in the demo- cratic party, men with progressive ideas and possessed of the courage of their convictions as can be found in any party. However, the Tnas would like to hear the views of the representative democrats on this question and trust all will turn out to-morrow night and have a full and free discussion of this matter ae 2088 Oscar Brown son of old John Brown, and the last surviver of the Harper's Ferry raid died at Parsa- dena, California last week.
