In order to have the Times more widely circulated during the cam- ' paign we have reduced the price to only 25 cents cash from now until after the election. At this great re- duction every family in Bates county should take the Truzs for the next five months. Old subscribers can take advantage of this reduction by paring up arrears. _—_— BUTTER WEEKLY TIMES. LOCAL ITEMS c2::7°00°. ||| Cash for fresh eggs at Pharis & Son’s. Se 6. J. N.

This new train service, with the present. will make six daily passenger. trains over the L. & S. division of the Missouri Pa- cific.—Nevada Mail. From the Rich Hill papers we learn the council of that city has voted to dispense with their electric light plant. According to the papers, it is a queer freak of the council, and their action is not com- prehensible to the citizens. Well, if the electric light must go, what is the matter with Col. Irish’s gas works? Can't they supply the de- ficiency? Frank Lafollett and Charlie Rad- ford are making arrangements to take atrip in aprairie schooner next week. They have no route map- ped out and do not care which way or where they go. They sayall they want is to get away from town and spend a week camping out. Beside provisions, they will take a dog, gun and fiddle. The Arkansas republicans have joined hands with the union labor party to defeat the democratic tick- et. The republican party under the leadership of Boss Filley are trying to make the same arrangements in several counties in this state. The arrauements, however, only exist inside of democratic counties. the Republican party, and will nom- inate a full state ticket. 4. L.

Miss Ewing is said to be the tallest girl in America and she no doubt proved a drawing card The oung lady is only 18 years old and Dr. G. R. Hill, of Carthage, prom inent candidate for congressional honors, gave us a pleasant call Mon- day afternoon. We found him to be a very pleasant gentleman, well posted on the current events of the day, and with views on the silver, tariff and other leading questions of the day fully in accord with the democratic party. If nominated and elected he would make a very credi- table resresentative. Sam Canterbury took his depar- ture for Oregon Saturday. He goes with the intention of making that state his future home. He inform- ed us that it was his intention to enter an absiract and loan office. Sam is an expert in the abstract bus- iness, and was one of the best young men in our city. He is thoroughly trustworthy and reliable and the Ties wishes him well. We see from the Tribune, that business men of Rich Hill have de- termined to organize a board of trade in that city. Butler for a while had a flourishing commercial club, and handsome rooms were fitted up on North Maun street for the accommodation of the members. But of late, seems to be on the wane and we are afraid the commercial club will go the way of the Water, Gas and Electric Light plants, if it is not nursed a little better- The Dewey water-works proposi- tion expired sixteen days ago to-day. as they see fit in the matter of ad- vertising for bids and submitting another proposition. However, put- ting in a water-works plant for But- ler is no child's play, and the present council will take their time about the matter, so when they do act it will bea goand the firm that se- cures the franchise will put the works in on schedule time. Recorder R. G. West was over- come by heat at his residence, 7 or 8 miles west of this city, Thursday. He had gone home late in the even- ing and after doing alittle work about the house he took a seat near the well under the shade of a tree, when he was suddenly taken sick, and soon became unconscious. A boy was quickly dispatched to this city for Dr. Boulware, and when he arrived he found Mr. West a very sick man; in short, for a time he was dangerously sick. Mr. West was in the city Monday morning for a few minutes and informed us that he had about recovered. He also said he thought he had been warmer many times before and could not tell just what brought on the at- tack. Some of our dear friends, and es- pecially those of the city press, are trying to construe our article on the 4th of July celebration, asa_reflec- tion on the Lake and Park Co. We do not suppose any one will ques- tion the right of this company to charge an admission fee to the race course, in fact, it is the only course they could pursue to get back any part of the money spent in building July committee had advertised on their bills to have races in connec- pact when they failed to have them. We do not think that the Lake and Park Co. had anything whatever to do with the celebration, consequent- ly are not responsible for its failure.

The Captain was annoyed not a little by a street rumor that he had come to town for the purpose of announcing himself as a candidate for the state senate. He said he was not aspiring The city council at Osceola has let the contract for the digging of a public well on the public square of that city. The well is for the bene- fit of the town and to furnish a wat- er place for the country people. The republican state central com- mittee, held a meeting in St. Louis last week, and decided to ‘hold their state convention at Jefferson City August 28. Boss Filley held the meeting in the hollow of his hand and conducted the proceedings to his own satisfaction. Conse- quently the Globe-Democrat and Kansas City Journal are very angry and refused in toto to either men- tion the proceedings or the date of the convention. But this slight of the great dailies does not deter the boss as he has the rural roosters at his back. The Butler Lake and Park Co, was presented a beautiful flag by a number of ladies on last Thursday evening. The presentation was made at the lake, and Capt. Tygard, for his company, responded in a happy manner with a few well cho- sen and appropriate remarks, and read a series of resolutions previous- ly adopted by the Board of Direct- ors, expressing thanks and appre ciation of the beautiful present. The ladies present were given free at rides and aferwards served with delitious ice cream. ,All present express themselves as having pass ed a very pleasant evening. Hon. J. LaDue, candidate for con gress, spoke at Foster Friday morn- | ing and at Adrian in the afternoon. While on his way to the latter town he stopped off at Butler and made armngements with the Laclede and Arington hotels for suitable quar- tew to entertain his delegates and frimds during the meeting of the corvention in this city August 6th. Co.. LaDue has been canvassing the soathern part of the district, and re- ports his support from that section very satisfactory.

He also saw the plans for the rairoad round house and machine shops, but as the company is mak- ing no bluster or blow he could not lean what would be the final out- cone. One thing certain though, hesaid they were apending a good deil of money and theimprovements beng made were substantial. The grede of the road had been finished int» Cass county and the contractors were working south of the town, bu; further than the above he knew ndhing. From Mr. McDaniel of the eleva- to: we learn that the wheat, vats and fix crop is turning out this year beter than was expected. Also the pices have advanced and the fol- lowing prices are being paid: Wheat 70 cents, oats 18 cents, and fix $1,10. Saturday acar load of ots and one of flax of the new crop wis shipped from the Butler eleva- ta. This is the first shipment of tke new crop this season and the qaality is good. The Times is glad te learn that the farmers are getting ai advance on their crops this year, aad all the harm we wish the grang- e: is that the tendency may be on- yard and upward. Corn is still Iniding its own at 25 cents. ‘Barn Burned. From G. D. Arnold, who was in the city yesterday, we learned John Deerwester’s large barn was strck ly lightning Monday evening about ¢ o'clock, and burned to the ground. Tis loss was one mule, 1,000 bushels d old corn, 30 tons of hay and alot d@ farm machinery, harness, etc. Tour head of horsesin the barn vere saved. The barn and mule vere fortunately insured, while the orn, hay and other articles were » total loss. The 30 tons of hay was d this year’s crop and had just been gored in thebarn.

Summit Items. As the weather is getting dry and | hot it makes us feel less like work, 80 we will spend a few moments in giving youa few items from old Summit. Oats harvest is about over. Thgt crop will not prove to be all that was expected. It may be that very few observed it; nevertheless it’s a fact the oats lice or flee has done the crop some injury. What shall we have next in the way of a pest? Who of the readers of the Timms ever heard anything of this insect before this season? If we don’t have chintz bugs, hoppers, droughts or hail-storms, its some- thing else. We will have to wait and see what this last insect will prove to be in the way of a destroy- er of crops.
