Local matter this week is just about as scarce as pictures of men angels. J. M. Rutledge of Spruce towr- ship was in the city Saturday having some bills struck at the Times office for his fine stallions and jacks, and renewed for his paper another year. Mr. R. is a good horse man and has some very fine stock, 2 stallions and 1 jack.

Reports from heavy storms come in from all sections of the country and in some stances much dam- ages have resulted. Butler has been fortunate so far in this respect, and we trust we will never be called on to record such a calamity. Do not fail to see our line of 5¢ dress prints, these goods have no equal for the money. Saer’s Levy & Co. An exchange says with truth and -Significance, that it has been relia- bly ascertained that out of one hun- dred and eighty-fiye cases of suc- cessful swindling throughout the states by traveling sherpers in vari- ous ways by which the people of the rural districts were robbed— some of them to the extent of thou- sands of dollars—only tes were sub- scribers or readers of a home county paper. at Pharie & Son's. The modest but smiling and po lite Joseph B. Shelby, deputy sher- iff, was in the city Monday evening. He came down to kill the glandered horses condemned by the state vet- erinary. One each C. C. McGinia, George Davis, John Craig and J. K. Martin. The appraisers valued the horses at from $25 to $35 Mr. Davis and Craig had their horses quaran- tined away from their place. This makes one horse and three mules Mr. McGinnis has lost by glanders. —R. H. Enterprise. ic for Women. Colyer Bros., have one jack that is 17 hands high, the largest jack that | was ever brought to this section of the state. They hold him at $1,300. Also an imported jack imported from Spain last year, which they hold at $850. Also five others of their best jacks left, which are going fast. We would like to see them kept in the county. Sunday was the 64th birthday of our fellow-townsman, Franz Bern- hardt, and was celebrated in a be- fitting style. Mr. and Mrs. Benji- men Ellis, Mr. J. Johnson and Mrs. Gottilieb, of Pleasanton, Mr. and Mrs. A. Gantz, of Foster,and a large number of friends in the city were present to do honor to the occasion. An elegant lunch was served about 4:30, to which full justice was done. Many valuable presents were receiv- ed and a most enjoyable time was had. Governor Francis has been the re- cipient of numerous complimentary references at the hands of the press and the public men of the state in relation to the prompt and efficient manner in which he conducted the investigation of the state treasury defalcation. Not one word has been said to his credit but has been fully merited by the able young governor who has brought to the highest ex- ecutive office of the state that splen- did ability which is the result of a successful business career.—Sedalia Bazoo. The trial of Wm. Miles, indicted for murder in the first degree on the charge of killing Capt. Nat N. Kin- ney of Forsyth, terminated in the criminal court here last Saturday night. The jury, after being out about half an hour, returned to the court room a few minutes before 11} o'clock with a verdict of not guilty, which was arrived at on the ground that the homicide was justifiable. Miles was congratulated by his friends and taken back to jail to fur- ther answer to the charge of killing Sheriff G. E. Branson and Detective Ed Funk at Kirbyville on the 4th of last July, which case will be tried at Ozark.—Springtield Express. The Easter number of Harper's Bazar, to be published April 4th. will epntain exactly double the usual number of pages, in addition to a special cover. Among the signal literary attractions will bea story of lofty tone entitled “An Easter Bri- dal,” by Harriet Prescott Spofford, illustrated from three drawings by A bert E. Sterner; and a humorous fiction entitled “Daffodils, a Story of an Easter Sunday,” by Kate Up- son Clark. The brilliant list of illus- trations include the reproduction of “Tolsoi Ploughing,” the famous pic- ture by the Russian artist Repine; a series of three illustrations entitled “The Career of a Belle,” and ‘The Morning Stars sang together,” an unconventional picture specially drawn for this number by Mrs. Jes- sie Curtis Sheperd. “Why doesn't he take Hood's Sar- saparilla?” is the general inquiry of friends when a person suffers from disease of the blood. The Kansas Farmers’ Alliance is against “five per cent. reduction” of the tariff. It wants a cut that will “go to the bone.” And that is the talk in Kansas now, but the republi- can politicians laugh at it and go on increasing duties on clothing, table ware, tin pans and other articles on which the west pay the taxes. As far as the democrats are concerned, they have lost all hope of Kansas and all patience with its farmers. In Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Michigan and nearly every other western state there is ample room for a reasonable discussion of the causes of the great agricultural depression in the west and of the immense fortunes accu- mulated in a few hands in the east, but when the republican politicians hire a campaign brass band and start it to tooting “John Brown's body,” there isno room in Kansas for anything else.—Republic.

Me- Grath, an old soldier 55 years old and janitor of the Lincoln post hall, this city, was found at 7:30 this evening hanging to the gas fixtures by a piece of red bunting when the hall was opened. He was last seen alive Monday morning. The sup- position is he committed the act last night. He was unmarried. A Missing Husband. Nevada, Mo., March 28.—Mrs. Jchu Rupe of Deerfield, a neighbor- ing town, was in this city to-day in search of her husband who she stated has deserted his wife and two children. Rupe was a well-to-do farmer, and recently disposed of all his property. Yesterday he left home, telling his wife he intended to make a trip to Nevada. Since then hehas not been heard of. Mrs. Rupe says he had about $2,000 in money with him, and she thinks he has either been foully dealt with or has gone te the state of California to live with his children by a former wife. Rupe is about 60 years of age, and his wife is about 25. Rey. Johnson’s Church Destroyed. Among the buildings wrecked at Metropolis, Illinois, by the cyclone of last Thursday night was the Con- gregational charch which was just nearing completion. It was erected by Rev. J. Wesley Johnson's congre- gation and was one of the finest ed- ifices in Southern Illinois. A special dispatch to the St. Louis Republic says that the building was so badiy damaged that it will have to be torn down. Rev. Johnson’s family have received no word from him since the storm, but his name does not appear in the list of the names of the killed and wounded and it is not believed | that he was injured.—Joplin Herald. | Rev. Johnson is well known in our | city, having at one time resided here, | as pastor of the Ohio street M. E.| cehureh, aud many would regret to learn of his violent death.

A fancy freak of the storm the other day was the transportation of abasket of eggs from Cimarron, Kansas, to this city. They were ev- idently prairie chicken’s eggs intend- ed for some hatchery, as there was a} full baker’s dozen. They were care- | fully packed away in cotton in a black wicker basket with cover and handles to it. Dr. Huddleson says he saw a dark object come sailing through the air for some distance with a whirring sound, and just as he was most deeply engaged in con- jecturing what it could be, the bas- ket alighted on the water hydrant in front of his store. He approached it with caution and a superstitious | awe at first, but on raising the lid | was delighted with the discovery of the contents. The doctor has been living on prairie chicken omelet ever since, as the eggs were all fresh and | | sound except two which were proba- | bly broken in transit. The basket | hangs on the fire hydrant as evidence | of its late performance.—R. H. Re-| view. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria.
