Turn| out and hear him. | Squire G. B. Parker and Charlie | Smizer, two staunch democrats of | Summit township, while in the city Saturday gave the booming Trvzs a pleasant call. Both gentlemen are true blue democrats and reported | the convention held in their town- ship Saturday one of the largest that | they have witnessed in many years. | Mrs. Kate See, wife of Jeff See who has been very low with con sumption for several months at her} residence in the southeast part of the city, died Saturday morning at 4oclock.

Henry Tilson, of New Home town- | ship, while in the city the last of the week informed us that he positively would not be a candidate for sheriff this time. Mr. Tilson is in every way qualified to perform the duties of the office. Heisa good man,a hard worker in party traces, and is deserving of party recognition. Jas. K. Brugler received a dis- patch from Kansas City stating that the Commercial Club of that city would extend the time given Butler sufficiently to enable them to see city. The time alloted in the schedule was only 30 minutes. Our commercial club should see that they are properly received and entertain ed. The Nevada Mail suggests that in view of Col. Stone’s valuable services in congress to the district which he has represented that the Vernon delegation give hima complimentary vote in the nominating convention. Why would not a tender of thanks from the entire convention be a bet ter and more appropriate thing to do, in view of the fact that Mr. Stone is not a candidate for renomi- nation. Noah Nyhart candidate for record- er was in the city Saturday shaking hands with his hundreds of friends. Mr. Nyhart is one of the largest | farmers and stockmen in this coun- ty and a better democrat never cast a ballot. He was with the party in the days of disfranchisement when it was dangerous to be called a dem- ocrat. He was steadfast then and still holds membership with the old guard. C. H. Moore, of Shawnee town- ship, gave us a pleasant call Satur- day. He informs us that he and his brother J. M.

A. L. Graves was arraigned be-| fore Justice of the peace, D. G. Newsom, Friday on a state warrant sworn out by R. M. Wright, night watch for the city of Butler, charg- ing him with assault with intent to kill. He was was bound over in the sum of $500 and in default of bond was sent to jail. Mr. Wright's story jis that he had arrested N. A. Wade Thursday evening for being on the | streets in an intoxicated condition. That Mr. Graves came up and inter- fered in Mr. W.’s behalf,when he ar- rested him and started with him to the calaboose, Furgeson and Tucker, deputy marshals, carrying Wade. | When near the city hall Graves sud- | denly drew a revolver and brought jit into Wright’s face. Mr. W. says he knocked the pistol down and it went off, the bullet going into the ground. He then clinched Graves, threw him to the ground, and Fur- geson and Tucker coming to his as- sistance they disarmed Graves and put him in the calaboose. In the melee Col. Wade escaped and was re-arrested next morning and taken before Recorder Newsom and gave bond for his appearance on the fol- jlowing Tuesday. Mr. Graves’ pre- liminary trial is set for te morrow at 10 o'clock. It is sometimes very unpleasant to publish these things, but it is the duty of anewspapers to give all the news. Kalled by Lightning. Thursday evening about nine o'clock Edward Perry, living in the northwest part of the city, was struck and instantly killed by light- ning. Perry had been loitering around the show ground in the northeast part of the city and had just returned home. | When he en tered the house he walked to the ta- ble and just as he set his Jantern down the bolt came down the chim- ney. He was struck in the face and left thigh, and his clothing and shoes were badly torn. The light- wi of D. N.

The other, 78 head of cattle they bought at $2.30 and have contracted them for $3.75. The Moore Bros. are good business men, know a steer when they see one and are making money. Col. Richard A. Love, of Inde- pendence, candidate for railroad com- missioner, was in the city Friday and favored us with a short call. Col. Love made a strong race for Register of Lands at the last state convention against Col. Bob McCul lough. He is au active, energetic gentleman, very popular with all who know him, thoroughly compe- tent and qualified to perform the duties of this office. He has a strong following over the state, and if he isn’t nominated the man who beats him will be. Cassle Hale, one the old guard democrats of Pleasant Gap town- ship and candidate for recorder, was was in the Saturday and gave usa pleasant call. There few better men in Bates county than Mr. Hale. Chas. Jasper and lady of New ‘Home township, were in the city ‘Monday and complimented us with a social call. Mr. Jasper is one of the sturdy men of his section and a staunch friend to the booming Tres. Notice is called to the advertise- ment of the Equitable Life Assur- ance society in another column.

Hen- ry, formerly a resident of Butler, and well known here, died at her old home in Amesville, Ohio, on Sunday the 18th inst. Her age was 82 years. Mrs. Henry moved to Butler in 1868 and made this her home until about two years ago. She was the mother of Capt. E. P. Henry, Mrs. W. W. Henry and Mrs. P. L. Wyatt, all of whom she survived. In her early years she joined the Presbyterian church and her life was that of a ee faithful and true christian. Her last Col.

On examination it was found that the family were in very destitute circumstances and the neighbors oneand all interested themselves and did what they could to relieve their immediate wants. In addition a subscription paper was started and something over fifty dollars was raised and given to Mrs. Perry. In speaking of their poverty Mrs. Per- ry stated that her husband wasa very indolent man aud would not la- bor when hagould find work to do. The Butler public schools closed Friday and the exercises were enter- jtertaining. On Monday evening the opera house was crowed to over flowing to listen to the following young ladies and gentlemen, gradu- ates of the school, deliver their ora- tions and read essays: Edith Robin- son, Clarence Catron, Ella Butler, Wm. Hartwell, Bell McClements, Alice Hayes, Jas. DeArmond, Ruby Rosser Florence Keller and Ray- mond; Childs. The Trves takes pleasure in complimenting each of the graduates in the selection and delivery of their essays and orations, they were good, very good, and the rounds of applause each received demonstrated that the large audi- ence present fully appreciated their efforts. At the conclusion of the exercises Prof. J. W. Reisner, mem- ber of the school board delivered a very appropriate address and pre- sented each graduate with a diplo- ma. Mrs. M. C. Smith left for Colum- bia, Mo., Tuesday morning, where | she expects to make her future home.
