BUTLER MISSOURI. | WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 25, 1889. —_—_—_—_—_—_—___"—___——_— Committee Meeting. Notice is hereby given that there will be a meeting of the democratic central committee of Bates county, at the court house in the city of Butler on Saturday, October 12th, 1889. Every member is urgently requested to be present as business of importance will come before the committee which demands their at- tention. D. R. Brapen, W. H. Mean, Chairman. Secretary. Rex, the voluble correspondent of the Record, takes us to account for clipping from the Courier-Jour- nal an account ef the wonderful in- dustrial development of Eastern Kentucky, which tne Journal as cribes to the advancement of the railroads, the furnaces, the print- ing press and the democratic party. Rex does not attempt to deny that until recently this region has been the stronghold of ignorance, crime of every kind and republicanism, but attempts by a set of syllogisms for- eign to any rules laid down for the guidance of the logician, to connect the present development with the high protection tariff theory, the ab- olition of slavery and the political race troubles recently enacted in Arkansas, allin one, a mixture as bad as George Vest’s favorite “bur- gue” stew. The reason is apparent that this development did not com- mence years before because the railroads, the furnace, the printing- Press—the forerunners of the demo- cratic party, had not penetrated this wilderness. Our kind friend Rex says that he has lived in that coun- try and knows the truth of the Jour nal’s statement that the introduction ot civilized methods has almost doubled the democratic majority in that state. In admitting this he puts anend to any arguments on the question at issue. As for “Honest Dick Tate” the Tres has no apology to make for him though knowing him personally, as the edi- tor of the Timms did, we can but be- lieve that he was a victim of ill ad- vised friends and his own big heart and generous nature. It is only a question of time when the same in- dustrial and civilizing agencies will be applied in Arkansas, where Dep- uty President, Powell Clayton, who who reccommened his negro tools to the national administration for pro- motion over respectable white re publicans, will be relegated to the rear, and no more will be heard of ballot-box stuffing and election frauds. It isan old saying that a Kentucky radical is the meanest rad ical on earth, but we will be more generous and believe that Rex isa first-rate fellow if he is a republican and came from Kentucky. The estimated increase of the public debt turns out to have been much too small. For the month of August it was $6,076,693, and for July $1,417,312. During the cor- responding months of last year the public debt was decreased $8,662,- 790 and $2,879,052 respectively. This turning the surplus into a de- ficit, if it continues throughout the present fiscal year, as it has begun inits first two months, will make necessary an increase of taxation in- stead of the relief that it has pro- posed. Congress is likely to find that “it is a condition that confronts it” when it meets, but in a sense very different from that in which the words were first used.—_New York Examiner. An exchange says there ig scarcely anything women cannot do with a hairpin. They use it to pick their teeth, button their shoes, clean fin- ger nails, punch bed-bugs out of cracks, fasten up stray bangs, clean out the stems of their husband's pipes, scratch their heads, trim lamp wicks run into cake to see if itis sufficiently done and about a million other things the poor deluded men know nothing about, and the do it} all with the same Pin, too. oo | | BUTLER WEEKLY TIMES) | i In another column ean be found the water wo city of Butler published in full The J.D.

They need have no fear of imposing on the company as its agents will look well to ita interests. Has the board done this? Is the proposition submitted and to be voted on Octo- ber 10th, the very best obtainable for the city cf Butler, as to chear- ness, wholesome water supply, pro- tection against fires, and the public patern, the pumps used sufficient to supply the quantity of water requir- ed, in fact has the matter of detail been carefully looked to in all its! bearings for the public good? Has the very best bargains been made for the private consumer? The bargain is printed in full, every citizen can and should read it carefully and make up his mind before the day of elec- tion rolls around. The importance of water works to the city we be- lieve is duly appreciated by our cit | izens, the only question now to de termine is this the one we want. The Truxs believes it is a good prop- osition, and, while it has some ob- | jectionable features to our inind, we | believe that the interests of the city of Butler demands that we should | vote it. —_———— Systematic Lying. The United Press yesterday sent the following dispatch to many pa- pers and thousands of readers in the United States: New York, Sept. 18.—A press | special from Atlanta, Ga., Says Sen- | ator Gibbs spoke yesterday in the legislature in favor of forcing the negroes to leave the state. He refer red to the whole race as vagabonds. “Emancipated,” he said, “negro be- comes useless and dominant and lapses into barberous voodooism. The lives and honor of southern wo- men are in constant dauger at the hands of the scoundrels, The time will come beforelong when the white men will as one man rise and de- mand the banishment or extermina- tion of the race. I approve of the whipping of the negroes at East Point. When white men strike for their homes and firesides I am with them every time. The time has come when the whites must stand up and defend themselves and their families. There is not room enough in this country for the negro and the Yan- kee. The negroes are always at the call of the carpet bagger. I want to see this state at least rid of the whole race.” The vote on the question was a tie and the president gave his vote against Gibbs. If this villianous perversion were an accident it might be passed over in silence, but it is only one of the many such perversions, deliberately circulated for the purpose of forcing & race issue on the country. The dispatch referred to makes it appear that there was a tie vote on the question of indorsing the whip- Ping the negroes at East Point as & means of forcing the negroes to leave the state. We submit to intel- ligence whether any other construc- thon of this dispatch is possible. The fact isthatthe vote was on the question of removing the license fee on emigration agents. The parli- mentary question was whether the law imposing this tax should be re- pealed. The political question was too many negroes in the state. The tie vote was on the former question, and the deciding voteof the Lieuten- ant Governer of state was given against the repeal of the tax on em- igration agents. The dispatch quoted above was something more, therefore, than a Suppression of truth. It was adown- right lie, and since Mr. Harrison's inauguration there has been alto- gether too much of just such lying in a systematic way in the alleged news sent up from the south on the negro question.—St. Louis Repuke lie. good portion of the way. It will be plain sailing for him until he reaches the Apache canyon when a very mountainous region will be en- countered. In his speech at Arkansas City, before the soldiers’ association, Sen- ator Ingals waved the bloody shirt and denounced the south until the air turned crimson. He said he would never consider a rebel claim to recognition until his right band forgot its cunning. The Globe is as good a republican paper as exists in the United States, but we frankly denominate the utteracces of the honorable senator from Kansas as slush. 1f his right hand has not forgotten its cu nning he must have written that Topeka letter with his left hand, butat any rate, if he claims that his hand is still cunning he can- not, after his Arkansas City speech, claim the same for his mouth. The honorable senator from Kansas talks and writes altogether to much.—K. C. Globe. —_—______. Hibbards Rheuma‘ic and Liver Pills | These pills are scienti ically com- pounded and uniform in action.

HAGGARD, 44-4 Bridge Com. 44-45 blunders In New York all prospect of republican victory for state of- ficers has vanished. New Jersey is certain to prove itself more demo- cratic than ever and in the new states, confidently relied upon to solidify republican control,demoerat- ic prospects are brightening every hour. The universal current adverse to Harrisonism is impelled by convic- tion that at Washington factional- ism dominates over law, and that maladministration of power dishon- estly acquired is the method of the executive branch of the federal gov- ernment. All indications point to the conclusion that the crushing de- feat in Louisiana is the only fore- runner of a sweeping verdict against Harrisonism inthe November elec- tions.—K. C. Times.

On last Saturday, while trying to put salt on squirrels tails (we pre- sume) Ed Robinson and Henry Vir- den came upon Prof. S. Y. Baldwin's balloon which got away from him Saturday morning while being inflat- ed for the ascension. The balloon was discovered in an open space near the tank, and about a mile and a half northeast of town. When the boys got the balloon to town they telegraphed Professor Bald- win of the find, and on Monday ev- ening that gentlemen came down from Nevada and claimed the prop- erty, allowing the boys twenty dol- lars for their trouble.—Schell City News. Cunning Robbers. Belton, Tex., Sept. 20.—At 3 o'clock Missouri, Kansas and Texas train arrived here and while it stood on the track im front of the depot the Pacific express car was entered, | the safe quickly opened and $10,-| 000 deftly taken out. : The express messenger was asleep and unfortunately for the company he had left the car door partly open, The train men and the pecple about the depot did not see the robbers at work and the supposition is that they either found the safe open or quickly, picked the lock. STARTLING EVIDENCE Of the Cure of Skin Diseases when all Other Methods Fail. Psoriasis 5 years, covering face, head, and entire budy with white scabs. Skin red, itchy and bleeding. Hair all gone Spent hundreds ot dollars. Pronounced incurable. Cured by Cu- ticura Remedies. My diseese (psoriasis) first broke out on my left cheek, spreading acroas my nose, and al- most covering my face. It ran into ny eyes, and the physician was afraid I would lose my eyesight altogether. It spread all over my head, and my hair all fell out, until I was en- tirely baldheaded; it then broke out on my arms and shoulders, until my arms were just |. one sore. It covered my entire body, my head, face and shoulders being the worst. The white scabs fell constantly from my head, shoulders and arms; the skin would thicken and be red very itchy, and would crack and bleed if scratched. After spending many hundreds ot dollars, I was pronounced incurable. I heard ofthe Cuticura Remedies, and after using two bostles Cuticura Resolvent, I could see a change; and after I had taken four bettier, I Wasalmost cured; and when I had used six bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, and one box of Caticura, and one cake of Cuticura Soap I was cured of the dreadful disease from which Thad suffered for five years. I thot it the disease would leave a vey deep scar, but the Cuticura Remedies cured {t without SDy scars. Icannot with a pen what I suffered be- fore using the Caticurs:; ies. Theysaved my life, and I feel it my duty te recommend them. My hair is restored as good as ever, and so is my eyesight. I knowof a number of different persons who have used the Cuticurs Remedies, and all have received great benefit from their use. Mus. Rosa Keir, Rockwell City, Calhoun county, Iowa.
