Railey & Burney, of Harrisonville, Judge Gantt, of Clinton, W. O. At- keson, and J. F. Smith, of Rich Hill, all prominent attorneys, appeared in the court room early Monday morn- ing. Robt. Culp, the young man out on bail charged with stealing harness at Foster a short time ago, failed to put in his appearance at court Mon- day morning, and the supposition prevails that he has skipped the country. The new fire and burglar proof safe of the Farmers Bank, arrived Monday and has been placed in their banking building at the south- east corner of the square. It is a very large safe and contains all the : latest improvements for security. Judge DeArmond empannelled the following gentlemen as grand jurors Monday: W. H. Duke, Jonathan Ad- ams, R. M. Alexander, Jno. Shutt, Jno. Mathews, C. H. Morrison, N. L. Caton, Jas. Littlefield, R. C. Mas- sie, I. T. Seifers, Robt. Dayis and M.A. Nohn. I. T. Seifers was ap- pointed foreman by the court. The Marias Des Cygne river, west of the city has been on a regular rampage for the past week. At places in the large bottoms the over- flow is from four to five miles wide. It is reported to be the biggest overflow for years, and a number of people living in the bottoms have been forced to leave their homes, and their crops planted will be a to- tal loss. Fletcher Mann and wife, of Paris, Kentucky, and Luther Mann, of Carlisle, Ky., arrived in the city Sunday. Luther Mannis the young man charged with attempting to kill John Hensley some time ago, and jeame to stand his trial He was F | accompanied by Maj. Thos.

The Wild Dutchman, living in Ho- mer township, reports that tne wolves are quite numerous in his neighborhood, and are annoying the farmers not a little by killing young pigs, lambs, ete. By invitation Robt. Stubbletield, of Summit township, who keeps a large pack of hounds, went over Monday to investigate the matter. You can listen for a good report as his dogs never fail to make it interesting for his wolfship. The joint stock sale of thorougk- bred short horn cattle by J. H. Al- lison and Sellon & Bro., six miles west of this city, Friday, was only moderately well attended, and we are actually ashamed to give the prices realized for such stock. Sellon & Bro. let six go and Allison five. When registered cattle hardly bring the frice of a common three year old stear, it is not very encouraging to men to put their money, time and care in raising fine stock. The Trmzs is sorry to note that the efforts of Mr. Allison and the Sellon Bros., to inprove the stock of this county does not meet with more favor from our people. The Trzs is glad to learn that Dr. Orr, circuit court stenographer, has located in Butler and will make this place his future home. The doctor informs us that he has bought an interest with Judge DeArmond and Thos. J. Smith, ma fine farm of 140 acres, known as the Rose place, located about three wiles | west of Butler. It is the intention of the partnership, we understand, to put the farm down in grass and stock it with fine horses and high grade cattle. The doctor will superintend the ranch, and as he and the Judge are expert horsemen and lovers of blooded stock we have not the least doubt but that the en- terprise will be a paying investment. This may be thesecret in the Judge’s purchase of a fine horse on our streets afew days ago. The Ties wishes the gentlemen the best of success. Whitley Machines, are the best [on the market. For saleby Sherly 1 Childs. death of her sister, Mrs. E. T. Me- Call, which occurred at her home in Denver, Col., at half past one o'clock Friday evening. There were no particulars given except that she had died very sudden and unexpected. Mrs. Page left here a couple of weeks ago tospend.the summer with her sister, and found her enjoying excel lent health and wrote back their plans of pleasure and enjoyment during the heated term, and it is in- deed sad that their expectations should thus all be canceled by the cruel hand of death so unexpectedly. Mrs. McCall was formerly Miss Mattie Slater, daughter of Sam’l Slater, a prominent citizen of this place. After her father’s death she then made her home with her sister, Mrs. Wm. Page, until her marriage to Mr. McCall a year or so ago. The news of her sudden death will be a great shock and deeply lamented by a host of friends in this community. Robt. Hurt, living on North Main street, was suddenly attacked with heart failure Saturday evening about 3 o'clock, and for three or four hours his life was in imminent dan- ger. At onetime shortly after the attack his heart failed to beat fora short time and his pulse died entire- ly away, his face and ears began to turn purple and it was seriously considered whether he would survive or not. Toaddto his unfortunate predicament his eye sight was par- alyzed and for several hours he was totally blind. Drs. Boulware and ‘Walls were called and rendered the sick man every assistance in their power, and there is no doubt but that Bob owes them his everlasting gratitude for saving his life. For had it not been for their timely arri- val and the administering of power- ful medicines to assist the heart to discharge the overflow of blood, he would have surely died. Mr. Hurt attended the gun club shoot at Kan- sas City last week, and was in the mud and rain for two or three days, and Saturday evening remarked: to his wife that he did not feel well but partook ofa light dinner and then went into his bedroom and laid down and in a short time was at tacked as above stated. : : There are 30 Pair Cloth Shoes left at 25c a pair. ina few weeks.
