The Harrisonville Democrat says Judge Gantt has many warm friends in Cass, and it has no doubt but | that the delegates from that county will be solid for him for supreme judge. A large number of the settlers of North and South Dakota are in a state of starvation, and a call is made by the commissioner of state for aid. The two Dakota's are strong republican but the prosperity prom- ised by the republicans where is it? Nice fancy dress ginghams worth 10cts per pard at G. W.

Dixie is one of Bates county's most honora- ble, energetic and popular young men, and the Tives congratulates the Farmers Bank on securing his serv- ices, as his wide acquaintance and popularity will not prove a draw back to the institution.

The gentlemen owning the lake and fair grounds adjacent, for the pupose of beautifying the same, have set apart Thursday April let, as Arbor day. Judge Robards has donated $25 worth of shrubbery for the occasion. All others who desire to contribute to the beautifying of the grounds in the way of shrub- bery and trees, canmake the fact known by communicating with the committee, Capt. Hannah, D. N. Thompson and Geo. L. Smith. Ev- ery citizen of Butler should feel in- terested in this enterprise, and we hope to see a big turn out. The Times regrets very much to be compelled this week to announce the death of Newton Cantrell, which occurred Friday last, March 7th, at the home of Stephen Cantrell. He was 26 years old and was principally raised in this county. The remains were taken in charge by the Masons of which order he was an honored member, and laid to rest. There were few better men than Newton Cantrell, and his early death is re- gretted by his host of friends. He was a democrat in politics and only a short time ago gave it out that he would be a candidate for sheriff on the democratic ticket. Major R. N. Allen and wife, of New Home township, parents of the editor of the Times, celebrated the 50th anniversary of their marriage on last Monday, the 10th inst. They have eight children, six sons and two daughters, all of whom were present with the exception of Mrs. Bewley, of Webb City, and R. T. P. Allen, of Foster, who were absent on account of sickness. All of the children are married and have chil- dren. They have twenty-two grand- children living, seven of whom were present on this oceasion. There is only six months difference in the ages of this happy and hearty old couple, and they have passed their 70th birthday. They were married at Meadville, Pa, cn the 10th of March, 1840, and have lived happily | together ever since. Their children made them handsome and costly presents as reminders of this occa sion. The lake and park company are getting down to business now. A meeting was held the other day, and it was decided to at once commence the work of making the necessary improvements for the summer enter- tainments. The grounds about the lake are to be leveled up and orna- mented with shade trees and shrub- bery. Boats will be put on the lake and bath houses erected. In addi tion to these improvements, the 40 acre traet of land purchased of Mr. Clark, lying just east of the lake will | Saloon row at Nevada Friday night. | | twenty minutes. ling the Judge asked him if he would has appointed T.

General Manager Gentry of the | Kansas City, Nevada & Ft. Scott railroad says the cars will be run- ting into Nevada over the new road by August Ist. The United States supreme court in a recent decision, upholds the validity of the statute of Mississip- pi requiring railroad companies to provide separate cars or compart- ments for white and negroes in that state. Ben Butterworth, the republican congressman from Ohio, has been talking again—this time in New York. He admitted that he was a protectionist, but said he: “The far- New Goods! New Prices!

We are authorized this week to announce Jno K. Hulse, as a candi- date for city marshal, subject to the action of the democratic convention. We can say in Mc. Hulse’s behalf that he is one of Butler’s most worthy young men, and possesses the qualifications to make the city a first-class officer, and that if nomi- nated and elected weuld do his whole duty faithfully and well. Of course Mr. H. is well known by al- most every citizen in Butler and needs no eulogistic notice from us as to his merits, but desires only to let the democrats know that he is in the race, and if they see fit to give him the nomination he will serve the city to the best of his ability.

For sale by A. L.McBrivg & Co. The body ofthe Valley Falls bank robber, killed at Meriden, Kan., has been identified as Shannon Robison, of Homewood,Kan. He was a married man and leaves a wife and one child. He had formerly been a merchant and postmaster of Homewood, and was a prominent member of the Baptist church, and was considered an hon- est, honorable man up to the time of his late crime. His father in-law, A. L. Shaw, is a large farmer near Homewood, and is considered one of the wealthiest men in the county. The impression seems to be that Robison was not in his right mind when he committed the robbery. Judge D. V. Brown, of this city, a practical school teacher of many years’ experience, says the county in which he lived in Illinois, elected a county supervisor. At the time he was teaching a district school in the country. The supervisor visited his school once during his term. He remained in tbe school room about Just before leav- like to talk with the children. The supervisor remarked, “No, I think you are getting along all right, and I must hurry on to get around.” The Judge says the people became! so disgusted, at the next election the supervisor's office was dropped. In Bates county there is one hun- dred and thirty five school districts, and to talk of one man overseeing all the schools is the merest bosh. However competent and energetic the supervisor might be, it would be impossible for him to get around to each school dunng the term and live up to the requirements of the law. With a fixed salary, of ore thousand | dollars a year and an office furnished in Butler, the bad roads and rainy weather to contend with, we fear a great many school districts would suffer greatly for nourishment from the august presence of the supervi- sq. However, we believe the tax- payers are well satisfied with the present arrangements and will con- tinue to trust to the judgment of the school boards of the district.
