Our old time friend A. A. Conard, living a few miles northwest of town was in the city Friday and gave us a pleasant call. For the past month or six weeks he has been suffering quite severely with blood poison and part of the time was bed-fast, he has not yet fully recovered but is able to get about.

It never ac- complishes anything however and passes away with the ides of Nov.— Enterprise. The leaders of the pure party don't want the people educated on the great political questions of the day, because they try to keep them from hearing the prominent speakers of the other parties and persuade them not to take any pa- per but the Union. It is now given out that the lead- ers of the republican party are making arrangements for a vigorous campaign of fhe state. Yes, we guess this is so, for we see the re- publican party flocking to the union labor party in every democratic county in the state where the union laborites have put out a ticket. In republican counties there is no mixing, the medicine is taken straight. Democrats of Bates coun- ty do you peoposd to be gulled by this vigorous campaign of the repub lican party. John T. Smith returned, Friday from his trip tothe West. He has decided to locate in the town of Liv- ingston, Montana, and open out a law office. Owing to settling up his business affairs at this place he will not get off for a couple of months. Mr. Smith says living is very high in that country and so is wages, & good mechanic gets from four to five dollars per day, but he pays,25 centsfora shave and 50 cents for a hair cut, so, after all $2.50 in Butler will go much farther than $4 in Montana. Mrs. Cyrus Ward, living three miles east of Lone Tree, in Cass county, committed suicide by shoot- ing herself with a gun Friday last. The suppositionis that grief over the death of her only daughter was the cause of her committing the rash act. Carl Pointer, was brought before esquire Newsom Monday morning on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. He plead guilty and was fined $50 and costs, not having the wherewith to settle the damages was sent to jail. He had been arrested for being drunk and attempted to draw his gun on the marshal. Geo. Williams, of Kansas City, is spending the week in this city. There seems to be special attraction down this way for George.

If there is an ordinance against such nuisance we shall en- deavor to have it enforced. The Democrat is so ungenerous as tointimate that if Capt. Donohue had received Capt. Hannah’s endorse- ment for U.S. marshal and Pierce Hackett had been nominated for county judge and Prof. Searight for county school commissioner,they would not now be running over the county trying to avenge themselves on the old parties.

Live Oak heater like the Live Oak A postal card from our wide-awake correspondent at Virginia we learn that Mr. Morewood, an old gentle- man living about three miles north of Mulberry, dropped dead Monday morning. He had started to drive the cows to pasture and when found he was lying on his face, with his hat still on his head, and from all appearances he died without%astrug- gle. The supposition is his death was caused from heart disease. Squire W. A. Stephens, who is now at Ash Grove, Green county, is spending a few days in the city on business and seeing old friends, gave the Tivzs a pleasant call Tuesday. He says Butler has improved greatly since his visit of a year agu, and he was surprised to see the many jnew and beautiful dwellings that had been built. He also said the shade and ornamental trees had grown almost out of his know!- edge, and that a walk over the city convinced him that Butler was one of the prettiest and liveliest towns he knew of. Mr. S. is look- ing hale and hearty and has been enjoying good health. The State Committee. The State Democratic Committee will meet at their headquarters in the Temple building next Friday. The United States senators, the congressmen and all the candidates for Congress and all the candidates for state offices and for the Legisla- ture have been invited to meet with the committee to assist in perfecting plans for an aggressive campaign from that time till election day. A strong effort will be made by Chairman Maffitt to have appoint- ments made for the congressmen and other competent speakers in all the close counties in the state. Sen- ator Vest will make his first speech in the campaign in this city. He will make several other speeches in other parts of the state. Then the chairman of the Democratic State Committee of Illinois has notified Chairman Maffitt that Gen. Palmer will be glad to make a few speeches in Missouri if Senator Vest will go into Illinois. That exchange will be made, and the dates that Gen. Pal- mer will fill in this state will be se-| lected as early as possible.—St. Louis Republic. The Hon. W. B. Lewis of Cedar county is actually going over the dis- trict and thinks he will be elected to congress. We believe that Judge Tillotson, of Nevada, is an honest re- publican, he was elected representa- tive of Vernon county, and did his best to further the material interests of the people of Vernon county. On every question relating to the inter- ests of the people as opposed to railroads, trusts and combinations Judge Tillotson voted with the Hon. H. C. Timmonds of Barton county, a true and tried democrat. Where was the Hon. W. B. Lewis? He was to be found alwayson the side of the railroads and combinations. You will generally find buzzards where there is carrion. Ask Judge Tillotson; if you don’t wish to take our word for it. Heis honest and we believe will admit the fact; if he is not inclined to speak, get the House Journal and look at Lewis's record. After regarding it, go to the polls and vote for DeArmond. The morning after the . congress. ional convention the Democrat in- terviewed many of the prominent business democrats around the square. All expressed great pleas- ure and satisfaction at the nomina- tion of Judge DeArmond. The La- mar Democrat still maintains that its editor “can give the names of lots of good democrats in Nevada” who are not pleased with the action of the Vernon county delegation at Butler and he formerly said “they did not please anybody.” Well, Lee, we think you are feeling alittlesore. You must be posted (%) but two columns of names of Nevada's prom- inent Democrats who endorsed the nomination are against you. If it were necessary for you to kick up a stir in the democrat party, we don't believe you could find one democrat in Nevada who is opposed to Judge DeArmond for Congress.—Nevada Democrat.

Pace, who has been spending the past two or three weeks traveling through the states of Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska, is home again. While he had other business in Dakota, the principle object of his trip was to investigate the water-works systems of Yankton. Omaha, Council Bluffs, Sioux Falls, Fremont and other towns through- out the country through which he passed, with a view to better ac- quaint himself with water-works plants. The best and most satisfac- tory systerms and their costs of con- struction. From close observation and inves- tigation, the Mayor says that the forfeiture of the Dewey franchise in @ monied sense was a blessing to the citizens of Butler, as he finds that a system that will answer every pur- pose for this town could be put in for a great deal less money and that the tax payers of this city will be amply paid for the time lost in secur- ing water for Butler. Mayor Pace also svid that he was now more than ever ccnvinced that the available revenue of Butler would not have been sufficient to meet the rentel tax of the Dewey works, and had they been putin he is satisfied that instead of proving a blessing they would have worked a serious detri- ment to the town. He further said that while activgas Mayor of this city he did not intend that costly public improvements such as water works and lights should be fastened upon our people without the best interests of the city being carefully and faithtully guarded, and that such propositions as have been vot- ed would not receive his sanction under any circumstances. The Times believes the citizens of Butler have the right man in the right place, and we are glad to know that the Mayor made the trip and investigations, as they will prove of value to the council and citizens in making future contracts for public improvements of the above nature as no room will be left the middle man to speulate in slush bonds.
