On reaching a point known as Rocky Mound, about half way between the two homes the little girl said she then told Walter he could go back as she knew the rest of the way. But instead of doing so he grabbed her and threw her violently to the ground and in other ways grossly insulted her. Mabel said she cried, begged and prayed to him to let her loose but just how she got away from him she could not tell as was so badly frightened. When she reached home she was perfectly exhausted and it was some time before she could explain what had happened. Mabel is about 11 years of age, a bright, pretty little girl, and the in- nocent manner in which she explain- ed the story of her adventure with the boy leftno doubt in the minds ofthe audience that Walter would be punished by the jury.

THE GLOTHIER AND FURNISHER, Palace Hotel Building Closing out! 4 If Mr. Dewey proposes to build water works for Butler, we would like to see him get to work or throw up the sponge. Also if the electric light and gas plants are to be put in we would like to see alittle more de- cided move in this direction. Sus- pense is annoying to the progres- sive people of this city. Even Col. Wade's backbone seems to be getting a little weak in regard to building the water-works. He says: “Col. Dewey would do well to come and display some substantial activity in the matter.” Perhaps if Col. Dewey had been asked by the council when making his bid to put a guarantee of his good faith in about a five thousand dollar bond, the surprise would not be so great at this time in regard to his delay.

D. A. and H. H. Colyer. BUTLER, MO- There was one other jack sold on Monday, but we failed to get the name of the purchaser. The barn was full of strangers from a distance Saturday and Mon- day inspecting the jacks and Mr. D. A. Colyer informed the reporter that for the past three or four days he has been flooded with letters from abroad asking questions and informing him of the day the writer would be in Butler to look at the an- imals. The Tres is glad to know that the Colyer Bros. are meeting with good success in disposing of their herd of jacks, and the only part to be regretted is that the ani- mals, ora large majority of them, are being taken out of the county. for re-election to the office of county clerk. Col. M. W. Mize is lying danger- ously sick at the resdence of his son- in-law, M. S. Cooter, on Ohio street. In the last few days there has been no change for betterin his condition, and his family have all been called to his bedside. Dr. Hulett of Rich Hill, was called Sunday morning in consultation with Dr. Walls. While the physicians consider the case very serious they hope for the best. A farm house2} miles northeast of this city belonging to H. Mc- Reynolds of this city, and occupied by a Mr. Ashbrook, took fire about 5 o'clock Monday morning and burn- ed to the ground. There was no insurance on the building, the con- tents were, we understand, insured for $500. George McReynolds thinks the fire was the act of an in- cindiary. The daily Nevada Mail comes out of the ashes in a brand new suit, and looks as neat and pretty as a lady with a silk dress and a seal skin cloak.

Crockett Berry, the Foster drug- gist, now languishes behind the bars where he will remain ‘till the robbins nest again. Convicted of carrying concealed weapons he was fined $50 and costs, which amounted $167,15. Convicted of selling liquor he was fined $300 and costs. The former amount he says he will lay out in jail, the latter item he proposes, so he says, to appeal to the supreme court. He is also held on another charge for selling liquor for which he has not yet been arraigned. For the past year or so Crockett has fig- ured extensively in the court, and upon the whole has been particular- ly fortunate, but, as is always the case, such men sooner or later come to grief. We have just received from the publishers, I. S. Johnson & Co., 22 Custom House Street, Boston, Mass., a very fine portrait likeness of Jefferson Davis, with autograph signature. The publishers assure us the plates for it were engraved for them by one of the most famous houses in America. The size is 12x16 and has every appearance of an exquisite Sepia Etching. Ask your nearest dealer for one, or the publishers will send one tc any ad- dress postpaid on receipt by them of 25 cents in stamps. The mother in-law is generally the worst abused person living, and yet how strange it is that the young men are always in search of one. If they are such horrid creatures, then why inthe name of common sense don’t you let their daughters alone? Oh, you blubbers, you, if you were only half as good as your mother-in- law then your wife would have a} respectable husband—one that would not even growl at her cold feet when the thermometer was standing 40 degrees below zero. | See Here When you want convincing evidence of any fact you always investigate.
