Dr. Kelley, the prohibition candi- date for governor of Tennessee, was notified by his congregation that he must either give up his politics or his church.

The buildings burned belonged to the following persons: Richard Smith, of Kansas City; Pat Lemmon, Burns Bros, I. W. Comstock, Judge Heyl- man. The total damage done is es- timated to be between $8,000 and $10,000; partly covered by insur- ance. The night watch, it seems, was not on his beat from some cause and the fire got under heade way before the alarm was given. The Tnms was complimented with a pleasant call Monday, from Silas W. Levy, accompanied by his father-in-law, Raron Meyers, of Helena. Ark., who arrived in the city Saturday and will spend a week with his daughter Mrs. Levy. Mr. Meyers ison his way home from Milwaukee, where he has been to attend the meeting of Knights of Pithias conclave, in which order he has high rank, being Past Grand Chancellor and Lieutenant Colonel, 1st Ark. Regiment U. R. He has not only gained rank in the above order but stands at the head of the democratic party of his town and for six years and controlled the affairs of his city as its chief magis- trate. In speaking of state politics he said Arkansas was democratic and would remain so, and that Mr. Cate, the congressman from his district who had been unfairly unseated by the present congress, had been re- nominated and they propose to re- turn him to congress in November, with such a majonty as will leave no room for contest or dispute and one that will make the cold chills run down the back of even tyrant Reed. W. ff. Summy’s Answer, | To J. R. McDonald, Fred Fix and others of Prairie township; Philip Zeal, W. G. Hoff and others of Wal- nut township; D. Wilson, J. M. Johannes and others of Osage town- ship, and over five hundred other democratic voters of Bates county who have earnestly solicited me to become a candidate for representa- tive, gentlemen: Thanking you for the confidence reposed in me and willing at all times to defer to the wishes and judgment of my friends, I hereby announce myself as a candidate for representative, subject to the decis- ion of the democratic voters of Bates county. I endorse the course of Congress- man Stone and Senator Vest, and if elected will do all in my power to secure the re election of Mr. Vest to the United States senate. The democratic party having virtually endorsed the F. & L. U. constitution by encorporating its main principles in their state platform, and honored that order by nominating its presi- dent to an important state office, and in view of the fact that the dem- ocrats in congress are battling hard for the very principles we advocate, I believe it the duty of every good F.& L. U. man to vote with that party and use all honorable means forfits snccess, when with the ad- vantages snd concessions we have already gained it wilk not be long before we will be heard in all the legislative borders of this country, and then down will go monopolies and trusts, and the farmer get a fair price for his produce. I submit this announcement to the consideration of all good people. Very respectfully, Wx. H. Sumy. Accidentally Shot. Oliver Jackson, the 17-year-old son of W. F. Jackson living near Johnstown, was accidentally shot at the Wilson farm, in Pleasant Gap township, Sunday last, by Lindsay Green, the 8-year-old sun of Lum Green. Young Jackson, with other parties, had just teturned from a trip to Eldorado Springs, and the wagon in which they had traveled had been driven into the yard and Mr. Green had taken the horses loose and led them to a branch to water. Jackson had not yet left the wagon and when the accident oc- curred was standing with one foot resting on the doubfe-trees, and without notice the little boy climb. ed into the wagon and took hold of a Winchester rifle which had been left lying on the spring seat, said to Jackson ‘look here.” As Jackson turned about half round the little fellow pulled the gun off. The ball passed through Jackson’s shirt across his breast and struck his left arm about midway between the elbow and shoulder, crushing the bone and lacerating the flesh. Dr. Boulware, of this city, was called, and after making an examination de- cided that amputation was absolute- ly necessary, as the bone. was so badly shattered that the arm could vot be saved. So on Monday he called Dr. O. F. Renick to assist him and the arm was taken off near the shoulder. Mr. Green, we un- derstand, is positive the gun was not loaded at the time it was left on the seat and he is satisfied the httle boy threw a cartridge in the barrel frum the magazine. We are glad to note the operation was successfully performed aad that with ro bad luck the young man will soon recover. Uncle Aaron Hart, the pioneer merchant of Butler, informs us that he has selected another point to do business and will, on or about Au- gust first, move his stock of goods to Hermitage, Hickory county, Mo., at which place he bas rented a store room, and will again open out for business. Uncle Aaron has been in business in this city for more than twenty years, and by strict attention to business, honest and square deal- ing, gained the friendship and es- teem not only of the citizen of But- ler, but the entire county, and his hundreds of old and tried friends will t to learn of his decision. But as he has concluded to make the change the Times takes pleasure in introduemg him to the good peo- ple of Hickory county, as a man worthy their confidence, esteem and| patronage.

Shannon, proprietor of the Diamond flouring wills of this city met with an accident by which he lost his left hand. For several weeks he has been repairing and remodeling his mill and getting it in good running order for the new crop of wheat. Among other im- provements he was putting in a new pair of rollers, and at the time the accident occurred was adjusting them and getting them in shape for grinding. The rollers were about half an inch apart and turn in oppo- site directions and Mr. Shannon was brushing them with his hands, when he was called from behind and with- out thinking, turned his head and in an instant his band was caught and was being drawn between the rollers. The engineer was notified The Mo. Pacific now runs two ad- ‘ditional passenger trains over our road, making three each day, or six trains daily. The new train is run | from Ft.

Lexington, Mo., July 17.—“And hang by the neck until pronounced dead,” was the sentence Judge John E. Ryland pronounced upon Chris- topher Young. September 6, 1890, was the day set for the hanging. Young took the sentence eoolly. In December, 1887, at Corder, Young was with a drunken crowd. One fellow hit him over the head with a lighted lantern and ran. Another man, at this instance, one Ferguson, happened to cross in Young’s path- way and he stabbed him to death. Young was tried, the case carried to the supreme court, remanded to the lower court again and found guilty of murder in the first degree.
