UTFITYERS Do our peopl+ believe that Mr. | Wykoff's questio: is geuins when he ran on a ticket two years ago that was op- posed to granting license. If he is now in favor of granting license, | | what made his change of heart. The “good, gray poet” Walt Whit- man, died at his home in Philadei- phia, Saturday evening. He was in his 73 year, and was loved, admired ;and respected not only by this nation but by every civilized people on the earth. The city of Butler has received jmore substantial improvements in the past two years than ever before in her history. We cannot lay it to the credit of the saloons, for with the exception of the two years under local optioc the city has no! been without saloons for years. The citizens, to select candidates for the different city offices, held a a convention at the court house Sat urday evening and placed in nowi- nation the following ticket: David Wykoff. mayor; C. A. Denton, city attorney; John Ferguson, mashal; J. A Mathes, recorder; J. A] Devinney yasessor; G. B. Hayygard, treasurer | For alderman, first ward, P. Ti. Hol comb; second, T.

Moore, sister of Mis Joe Meyer, will be married to- day to Mr. J. W. Poffenbarger, jun- ior member of the tirm of Poffenbar- ger & Co. of Jacksouville. Ils. The ceremony will take place from the residence of the bride’s cousin A. M. McGee, Decatur, Ills. The many friends of Miss Laura in this county join with the Tres in congratula tions and best wishes.
