Mr. Smith has been for a number of years one the most prominant members of the bar of this county and judicial district, and his many friends throughout this section learn with regret his present intentions.

Walter Murphey, of Adnan, Smecides While Embraced 1n the arms of his Sister. Saturday evening between the hours of 6 and 7 o'clock the citizens of the town of Adrian, located on the railroad about ten miles north of this city, were startled at the report ofa pistol shot and the announce- ment that Walter Murphey, apromi- nent young man of that town, had committed suicide by shooting him- self in the head with a pistol. The | facts in regard to the cause of the young man taking his life, as ob- tained from parties in Adrian by a Trwes reporter, are as follows. Saturday evening Murphey imbibed too freely of bad whiskey, and be- coming boisterous and disorderly on the streets it became the duty of city marshal, Will Highly, to arrest him. Seeing the marshal advancing to- ward him, Murphey retreated to the grocery store of his brother L. H. Murphey, taking refuge in the rear of the building. The marshal followed Murphey into the store and told him that he would have to go before the mayor and answer to the charge of being disorderly on the streets. At this juncture in the proceedings Murphey became wild with rage, and pulling off his coat and drawing a pistol de- clared that he would not be taken by any city marshal. The marshal also drew a pistol and was making ready to defend himself, when he was seized from behind by Joe Mc Donald, a bystander, and firmly held. Taking advantage of the opportunity Murphey, pistol in hand, passed by the marshal and made his way tohis sleeping appartments up stairs over the store closely followed by his sister Miss Anna, a young lady 18 or 19 years of age. As the two en- tered the room at the top of the stairway Miss Murphey embraced her brother tightly around the neck and began begging him to put up his pistol, when the young man in a fit of rage pressed the muzzle of the pistol to his head, behind his right ear and fired, the ball passed through his head and lodged just under the skin over the left ear. -Death was instantaneous aud the lifeless body was eased to the floor by the loving arms of a devoted sister. The deceased was about 20 years of age and leaves an estate of $5,000 or over which ‘he obtained a few months ago by the tragic death of his father, John Murphey, who our readers will remember was killed on the streets of Adrian by being thrown from his horse, his foot hanging in the stirrup and the ani- mal draging and kicking him to death. We received a beautiful souvenir from the Kansas City Commercial Club, entitled “A Junketing Tour” or “Jolts and Jars of a Jolly Jaunt.” This isa beautifully illustrated and finely printed book of 19 pages giv- ing a picturesque description of the trip of the Commercial Club to Southwest Missouri, made last spring. Mr. Wycoff the union labor, rag baby, red flag candidate.for congress was in the city last week, and he is what you would call a dasiy. Just how such ignorate men are taken up by any party and nominated for so importantant an office as con- gressman is beyond comprehension. The rag baby crowd kept him housed pretty close during his two hours stay in Butler, and then ship- ped him home on the first train. If they will let Wycoff make one town in each county we will bet a new hat DeArmond would carry every coun ty in the district. : The fall campaign is now on, and as an independent candidate for the trade in uniforming all the parties in Bates county including the Sons of Veterans, the Americans Clothing house outstrips all competitors this season both in style quantity, quali- ty and prices. is house has en- tered the canvass with a full deter- mination to win, the black flag has been raised on high pi:ces and from now until the sun hides itself be- hind the horizon on the ides of No- vember and no quarters will be shown competitors. and after the smoke of battle clears away they pro- pose that the rooster shall proclaim the American cothing house the vic- “|tors and champions of best styles and lowest prices in Bates county. % You will see the finest line of Dry Goods, Boots and Shoes, ever on the market. the east where I purchased all the latest styles in Dress Goods and trimmings; also, the latest styles in Boots and Shoes Hats and Caps and Gents Furnishing Gocdg Drop in and take a look at our immense stock; ove low prices and convince yourself.

The above was meant for last week's issue. Ji for Weak Nerves, The Diamond Mills. The Diamond Mills of this city since placing in position their new roller process for making flour are running six days in the week, and are making flour that will compare with the best flour manufactured in the state. A reporter of this paper visited these mills the other day and was greatly surprised to find the many valuable improvements in new machinery of the best improved make just placed in position, which consists of a complete roller system, soot mills, flour bolts, wheat clean- ing machinery, &c. This is now un- der.the management of J.T. Shan. non &Co., and is one of the best equipped mills in this section, and the citizens of Butler and Bates county seould take pride and pleas- ure in giving the propritors of this mill that —ae and hearty support which is due a home institu- tion of thiskind. Why talk of man- |, ufactories for Bates county and then 7 in supporting what you have? ith the new roller process this mill is now waking flour equal to the best and we hope to see it pat- ronized by our merchants and citi- zens to the full capacity of the mach- inery six days in the week. We appeal to the merchants of this county to stand by this home mill and likewise to our ple to ask for Diamond Mills flour, and we uarantee you will use nothing but i made bythese mills. We have tried it thoroughly and know where- of we speak. “Home first and the world afterwards,’ is the motto of the Trags. Therefore stand by the Diamond Mills.
