[In order tohave the Truzs more widely circulated during the cam- ign we have reduced the price to only 25 cents cash from now until ‘ gfter the election. At this great re- guction every family in Bates county should take the Trazs for the next fye months. Old subscribers can take advantage of this reduction by peying up arrears.

White, the Tres’ staunch young farmer friend of Altona neigh- borhood, while in the city Saturday gave usa pleasant and substantial call. A republican paper complains that the only thing they have as re- - minder that President Harrison is still alive is the occasienal appoint- ment of a postmaster. Bro. Aus., from your silence in re- gard to the nomination of a republi- can ceunty ticket, are we to infer that you have joined the union labor party? Frank Mead, of Moberly, spent Friday and Saturday inthe city with the family of his old friend, Henry Dixon, conductor on the St. L. & E: railroad. The Tunes is sorry to learn that Mrs.C.G. Divers, who has been - quite sick for some time is no better and for the past week has been rath- er on the decline. Harvey Clark, arrived at home from his western trip last week.

He informed us that he had received his money from the state for the glandered horses recently killed by order of the coun- ty court. Howard Young, of Amoret, in company with Zera Rayburn gave usa pleasant call the last of the week. Mr. Young is asuccesful school teacher,a young gentleman of pluck and nerve and asolid demo- crat. Harry Prosser has severed his con- nection with J. M. McKibben and returned to his home at Pleasant Hill yesterday. Mr. Prosser was a good salesman and made many friends in our city who will be sorry to see him leave. Jim Harrison one of Grand River township's best men and a democrat that knows no faltering or wavering called to see us Saturday. There has.been some talk of his making the race for presiding judge of the county court but we are not aware of his intentions. We learn from D. D. Peeler, that his sister, Mrs. Olds, living in Hud- son township died at her home on Wednesday evening. Mr. Peeler was out on his campaign and did not get word of her sickness until he reached Butler Saturday morn- ing. after her burial. Dell Welton and Tom Pettys, the grocery merchants have disolveded co-partnership, Mr. Pettys retiring from the firm. Dell is still holding the fort and can still be found at the old stand wrapping up cheap gro- ceries. John Burnett was brought before the recorder Monday morning by the marshal and plead guilty to the charge of being drunk. This was his second offense in the past few days, and the recorder gave him $5 and costs. John went to the rock pile. . On Thursday, August 28th the Passaic, Mt.

A cordial invitation is ex- tended to all other Sunday schools in the county. Arrangements are being made to have a good time. Come and bring your baskets. If the republican party is going to place a county ticket in the field why is Bro. Austin so enthusiastic inhis praise of the Union Labor ticket? Does he not know that ap- parently as many republicans as democrats will go off with this move- ment, or is the milk in the cocoanut what we have always suspected, the republicans will talk Union Labor but when voting time comes cast their votes for the republican ticket. SEE Geoge Wheaton is again behind the counters at J. M. McKibben’s dary goods boot and shoe house, and has charge of the boot and shoe de- partment. Mr. McKibben has pret- ty near raised George, and it looks natural to see them together again. Asa salesman and accomo- dating clerk, George has few equals in this or any other city. He has a host of friends all over the county who will be glad to know that he is back again at the old stand. J. R. Patterson is able to be | around. : _ D. A.

Straw Hats Ail Summer The Union complains that a great many Butler people, including dem- ocratic candidates, were at the Bur- dett picnic, but didn’t help “‘pay the fiddler.” If the fiddler didn’t get it where did it go; B. R. L. Poston and other union laborites were can- vassing the town for finance and we know of a number of democrats who said they had chipped in, and some of them were candidates.

The proprietor has conclud- ed to give you a benefit in buying a hat and the prices bave been cut away below rock bottom. In short the prices here made are far below any ever made by any store in But- ler before. Whether you are in need of a hat or not call at the Amer- ican Clothing House and look at the bargains and you will take one along anyhow. Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 1.—Last night at Tiptonville, Tenn, M. A. Lowe, a prominent lawyer, shot Dr. Swift of that town, fatally wounding him. Lcewe owed Dr. Swift a bill for medical service, which was long past due. Swift dunned him ands dispute arose, in the course of which Swift slapped Lowe's mouth. Lowe proceeded to arm himself (the doc- tor followed him), and having se- cured a pistol, Lowe shot Dr. Swift twice, one ball taking effect in his forehead and the other in the mouth. Dr. Swift died late last night. Owing to the prominence of the parties, the affray created intense excitement. Dr. Swift was unarmed at the time, hence public opinion is against his Bates County N ormal Institute con- vened this week with a good attend- | ance. Prof. Burk is assisted by Prof. Shelton of Kansas City and W. W. Graves. Patrick Brennon, from everywhere in particular and nowhere in general, was given six days on the rock pile bv the recorder Saturday. Patrick had atough lookirg mug on him and claims that he had just worked out a fine of over one hundred days at Carthage for striking an officer. Mrs. Martin, wife of J. C. Martin, who the Tres made mention of last week as being seriously ill with ty- phoid fever, died at her home in Rich Hill Wednesday evening last, and was buried Thursday. Mrs. Martin was a most estimable lady, and Capt. Martin and family have ; the sincere sympathies of many friends in this city and vicinity. The democratic candidates, asking the nomination for the different offices “have got a hustle on them- selves now.” Four more weeks less three days of hand-shaking and dem- ocrats will assemble at their usual places of voting and cast the die. There is plenty of good material be- fore the party and the Tres hopes to see the best and strongest men nominated. Then let every demo- crat in the county pull his coat and roll up a rousing majority. Yes, the Truzs has hooked its tow line on to water-works now, and if the council will act with us the streets of Butler will be flushed in- side of six months. Better still the job will be dove at a saving of four hundred dollars a year to the tax- payers over the Dewey franchise. What E. P. Emery takes hold of goes , and therein lies our hopes. Charlie Hagedorn, the champion photographer and wing shot of Southwest Missouri, for the first time in his life was clear off his base Sunday, and by Monday he had got- ten into such a hilarious mood his condition became alarming and when he came on the public square had a cyclone struck a cigar factory the weed would not have been scat- tered faster. ,,Take one boys, take two, take three! its a boy!” Charley the Tnres extends congratulations and best wishes that the little stranger may grow to be a good and useful citizen. In an interview with a Kansas City Journal reporter the other day E.L. Martin has this to say of the new road: The wolf was Netsox M. Nestrezope. 3
