Blachert, our enterprising clothing merchant under the Palace hotel, left monday eve for the east to lay in his fall stock of clothing. He will be absent two or three weeks. The good house wife at Nevada is discarding the gasoline stove and in its stead is using gas. If Butler would only keep abreast of the times the ladies of this town might be doing likewise. A. L. Graves left Monday evening for Ft. Worth, Texas. He expects to open a law office in that city and make it his future home. The best be with him for his future success. A 12- year-old daughter of John Turpin, of Pettis county, died of hy- drophobia on the 19th of the present wishes of his friends in this city will | to her home in Post Oak, Johnson county, Mo., on Saturday last. She isa bright, bewitching little lady and left many friends behind, who wish her well. A free for all fight took place in the alley back of the Times office late Monday evening. There was. quite a crowd present to witness the mill, which consisted principally of chin music. Finally they came to- gether and one man was knocked down and another received a severe lick on the head with a rock. Squire D. G. Newsom left Mon- day evening on an extended trip. He will travel through the states of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, and will also visit Washington City. He expects to be absent a month or in a financial way and in attendance, consequently the burden of making up the deficiency in salaries has pulled pretty heavy on a few who have from year to year done their best to hold up the school. The citizens of Butler, feeling that 1t was not just, and that the entire town *] was, or should be, deeply interested in the success of the school, decided to chip in and assist the trustees in any deficiency that may occur in the guarantee of salary. To make the academy a success it requires some- thing more than money and gua:an- tee funds, and that is this: It re- quires that every citizen in Butler should patronize and work for the institution, and as the academy be- longs not alope to the people of But- ler, but to the county as well, it also requires the patronage and assist- 123 Pair Miss’s Slippers, Kid and Goat, Button or Tie, 50cts.

Henry Day’s little son Amos fell } out of a tree in front of S. J. Groves near here,has fallen heir to $250,000, an eighth interest inan estate left by his uncle. About $200,000 is in government bonds and other securi- ties, the balance cash. Jake Wright says the impression that has gotten out that he will per- mit a race track to be built on his land is erroneous,and that there will be no race track built on his prem- ises. We understand a club room will be opened on North Main street in a few days,where we suppose liquid re- freshments of various kinds will be served in the most artistic style and palitable taste, revenue or no reve- nue. The “Goose” hangs high and the city government still lives. The $50,000 libel suit of Senator J. C. McGinnis against the St. Louis Republic was decided Wed- nesday by Judge Dillon of St. Louis court in favor of the newspaper, .| the court holding that the publica- tion, complaint of which grew out of liquor fight was not libelious. The fixtures belonging to the Goose saloon have been moved to the building on North Main street, where we understand Messrs. Heath and Hurt propose to opena billiard and poolroom. The refreshments kept will consist of lemonade, soda water, cigars, tobacco, &c. The three tramps arrested, fined and put in jail last week for tres- passing on the railroad property at the depot, will make eight prisoners confined in the jail and workhouse. by the time the harvest excursionists arrive. Members of the of the C. P. chureh have been very fortunate in securing the services of of Rev. B. Logan, formerly of Independence, Mo., who will hereafter preach regu- larly in this city. Rev.

Now is the time to get Hagedorn’s finest work at reduced prices. Cali on him when in the city. North side. Dr. G. W. Shelton, residing in the western part of Deepwater township gave us a substantial call Thursday. The doctor informed us that a short time ago he thought some of mov- ing his residence to Appleton City, but at the earnest solicitation of his many friends in the neighborhood and in view of the fact that he has enjoyed a large and successful prac- tice he decided to remain in Bates and continue the practice of his pro- fession at his present location. H. G. Cherry, secretary and man- ager of G. N. States’ racing and driving park at Adrian, was in the city Saturday and had programmes printed announcing the amusements to take place on the track Saturday. Mr. States has put this track in splendid shape, and during the sea- son will inaugurate trotting and run- ning races two or three times a month, to which all horse men are invited to come and take part. Mr. Patronize your home school. The Rich Hill Clippers and Butler Browns had a very interesting game of ball on the grounds near the de- pot last Friday. A very large crowd witnessed the game; a great many citizens of Rich Hill being present. It was a very close contest requir- ing the 10th inning to break the tie and decide, who were the victors. The score stood 10 to 9 in favor of the Browns. This makes even games so that it will require another trial to decide the championship, which we presume will be played at no dis- tant day. The Normal at the West school building opened Monday morning with forty teachers in attendance and with flattering prospects of greater success than for previous years. Prof. Burke informs us that the indications are that there will be an attendance of sixty or seventy by next week. Prof. Shelton, of Kansas City, who bas been engaged to conduct the in- stitute arrived on time and every- thing is moving off nicely. The Truzs hopes to see the institute move along harmoniously and profitable to all in attendance and that much good will result from holding the normal. Mr. J. C. McKenna informs us that the wooden bridge over Mound branch, south of town, is in a ‘dan- gerous condition. That the cords have sunk until they have entirely separated from the braces.

The Rich Hill Review says there is some very bad stories going the rounds concerning one of their hither- to prominent young ladies, and adds: She is dependent upon her own re- sources—fatherless and motherless —and has a hard enough time of it at best, we imagine. She had been in Rich Hill but a short time, yet has no other home. For the love of God and all that is pure, let her re- trace her steps and halt in the ca- reer she has entered upon—provided she is not basely belied. The cir- cumstances are against her.
