PALACE THE BEST GOODS OUR SPRING STYLES ARE NOW READY. A. E. Mitchell Pickett, of Galena, Kan., formerly of this place, spent last week in the city shaking hands with old friends. He is 84 years old but hale and hearty. Axtell, the noted race horse re- cently sold for $105,000, is making the present reason of 1890 at War- ren Park farm, Terre Haute, Ind., a $1000, limited to 40 mares, and he has his book full.

LOCAL ITEMS —————_—_————— Harlan Turner is spending a few days in the city. J. N. Smith, of Archie, gave us a pleasant call Monday. a —— New spring goods of every de- scription at G. W. Lowrance & Son’s, Foster, Mo., ni Call on G. W. Lowrance & Son Foster, Mo., for your jeans pants and overalls. At Atchisun, Kan., last week the ladies met and nominate for school directors a full ticket. If you are in need of a nice suit of clothes call on G. W. Lowrance & Son, Foster, Mo. The democrats nominated an ex- tra good ticket. Progress is the word now. Anew joint has been started on the south side of the square. It should not be tolerated. Ifyou want flour ir 500 pound lots you had better go to Pharis & Son. * 17-26 J. B. Walkup, of Foster, gave us a pleasant and substantial call while in the city Monday. Have you seen that elegant fur hat for only $1.00 at G. W. Low- rance & Son’s, Foster, Mo. G. W. Lowrance & Son, Foster, Mo., will sell you a good trunk chearer than any body. G. W. Lowrance & Son, Foster, Mo., have a nice line of Henriettas -which they are selling away down low. Don't fail to call on G. W. Low- rance & Son, Foster, Mo., if you are in need of anything in the clothes line. From the Nevada Mail we see that many of the farmers of Vernon coun- ty will plant their farms largely in castor beans and flax. We suppose about the first work of the council wiil be to improve the sidewalks which are now in a dilapi- dation condition. J. S. Pierce is circulating among his many friends and notifying them ofthe fact that he is on the track The subscription list of the boom- ing Tres is increasing every day. People will take the best and only reliable democratic paper in the county. The G. A. R. encampment in Ili- nois, last week voted down a service pension resolution. Even the old soldiers themselves are awakening to the factthat it is time to calla halt im the robbery of the treasury. The democratic state convention will be held in St. Joseph June 18th. Heretofore the conventions have either been held in Jefferson City or St. Louis, and we think the com- mittee did exactly the proper thing in making the change. Hiram Gun was arraigned be- fore Esquire Hays, of East Boone township, on the 15th inst., and held in a bond of $500 te await the action of the grand jury on the charge of seducing Miss Mary Skillman. Governor Francis has appointed Lon Stephens, of Boonville, State Treasurer, in place of E. T. Noland, resigned. The appointment isa good one, as it is endorsed by the press of the state, both democratic and republican. According to the Glode-Democrat the Harrison administration has been in power one year, and the on- ly act commendable is that 31,000 democratic postmasters have been turned out. We suppose this is the | prosperity promised the country. Kirksville, Mo., had a two hundred thousand dollar fire the other day. The fire broke out in the middle of a block of stores at about two o'clock in the night, and the town being without fire protection the citizens were powerless to help themseves. A farmer near Warrensburg loan- ed his hired hand a wagon and team last week to gototownand also gave him a check for $60 to get cashed. The man got the check cashed but heard from him or the money yet, but he got the team. Frank Eldridge was nominated for city collector of Clinton, by the republican convention the other day. he didn’t go back. The farmer hasn't | At the great Rosemeade sale held in New York March 6th one horse sold for $25,800, another for $24,- 100. The first days sale was $140,- 270. The second days, $95,725. Grand total $235,995. Average price per head $2,712.57. Sandford Oldham, of Whitehall, Ky., arrived in the city Saturday night and will spend a few days with old friends and looking after a tract of land which he owns near Sprague. Mr. Oldham is a cousin of S.C. Franklin, of the Tres of- fice. During his stay in the city he will be the guest of his friend T. K. Lisle. The removals made by Harrison in the first year of his administra- tion exceeded by 18,300 the removals of the first year of the Cleveland ad- ministration. This is accounted for by the repeated pledges Mr. Harrison made not to make remov- als for partisan purposes. If his pledges are in one direction, he can aways be found in the other. Mrs. Hersburgher, nee Miss Anna Bell departed this life at the home of her parents in New Home town- ship on Friday, March 14th of pneu- monia fever. Mrs. Hersburgher was a beautiful, refined and intelligent lady, loved and respected by all who knew her; a general favorite in the township, and the afflicted parents and relatives have the sympathy of the entirecommunity. Funeral ser- vices were conducted Saturday, and |the remains followed to their last resting place by a large cortege of friends. In another column will be found the pedigrees of Mambrino Chief Jr., and Timothy, the two high bred stallions belonging to Chas. S. Concklin. These two horses will be in charge of Wesley Warnock, this season, and will stand at his barn on the Rich Hill road one mile for colt to standand suck. These south of Butler, at the price of $20 twohorses are pedigreed animals and will rank with the best horses to be found in this section of the country. To those who are desiring to breed to fine horses we would ad- vise you to call and see this stock. Read the pedigrees in another col- Squire J. S.

Squire Eddy informed us that a company are putting in a cheese factory at Prairie City, and that all the necessary machinery had arrived and was being placed in po- sition and in a few days the factory would be in operation. THE | The Trwxs was favored Monday with a pleasant call from Hon. John P. Harmon, of Holden, Johnson Co. Mr. Harmon is a candidate for rail- road commissioner, and was in the city for the purpose of becoming ac- quainted with our people. He is one of the largest farmers and stock raisers in Johnson county and has twice represented his county in the state legislature, and his district one term in the senate, which position he was forced to resign on account of asevere attack of paralysis.

BEST «Clothing don’t make aman, but where he is made they add much to both branches of the legislature he displayed such rare ability that he soon became aleader. Mr. Harmon is a clear headed man and much of the railroad legislation now in force is due to his efforts. His whole life has been devoted to farming, and there is no doubt, with his experi- ence, but that he would make a val- uable member of the commission. He has many warm friends in Bates who will not forget him in the race for the nomination. his personal appearance. This is especially true if the clothes are bought from A. E. Blachert. The Globe Democrat of late has turned to be a tariff reform paper. It says the tariff is bound to be re- duced and net raised, by the Ways and Means committee. If it is raised then it will be goed bye coon skin in —_—_——- 1892. The remains of Jamie P.the 14 months old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Smith, of Archie, Mo., arrived in this city for burial on the 12:30 ex- press train Sunday and were taken to the residence of H. V. Pentzer, on North Main street, where the fu- neral services were held Monday at 10 o'clock, after which the remains were laid to rest in Oak Hill ceme- tery beside those of his little broth- er who had preceded him to the home of the angels a short time. While the parents mourn the loss of their precious little darling, yet they have the sweet consolation of knowing that he lives again ina bngther and happier sphere. Yet their sorrow was great in the sepa- ration and we would not,if we could, have stopped one of those scalding tears that fell from the cheek of the father and the mother and moisten- ed the little mound as they left the silent home of the dead. F. M. Trimble, of Foster, was in the city yesterday and gave usa pleasant call. Mr. Trimble’s name is prominently spoken of in connec- tion with the race for recorder, but hesays he has not made up his mind. C. C. Woodson, state mine inspec- tor, was in the city the last of the week and gave us a pleasant call. His home is at Rich Hill but he is on the road most of the the time visiting the mines of the state. Mr. Woodson is a practical miner,as well as mine engineer and so far as we have heard, is giving general satis- faction over the state as mine inspect- or. In the very important case of the State against Frank M. Wright, on change of yenue from Bates county, Judge Calvin F. Boxley, the prose- cuting attorney of Bates, displayed great tact in the presentation of the case for the State. It was evident that he had prepared the case with great pains and care. His argument was eloquent and forcible, and com- manded and received the commen- dation both cf our local bar and the large and intelligent audience that was in attendance watching the trial. It was no fault of Judge Boxley’s that the defendant was triumphantly acquitted by as intelligent and worthy ajuryas ever sat in Henry county. We don’t know whether Judge Boxley will be a candidate for re-election, but if close attention to business and unswerving devotion to duty is what Bates county desires Come and see the New Process gasoline stove and have a genuine surprise. Latest thing out. Harpgr & ATKINSON, 17-2 East Side Square. S. M. Talbot, who has been spend- ing the winter at the home of his parents in West Virginia, returned to Butler last week. He reports having had a pleasant visit, but was glad to get back to the broad prai- ries of old Bates. In speaking of his native state he said the farmers on account of the broken condition of the country, are a hundred years behind the times in the way of farm machinery.

The ladies came up on the afternoon train and returned at 9:40. At six o'clock a delicious repast was served after which the principal feature of the evening was music rendered by Mrs. F. E. Kellog, Mrs. S. W. Hill and Mrs. Judge Paakinson.

Sam says there is one thing the farmers of West Virginia are solid on. however, that is the nomination and election of Grover Cleveland for president.
