BUTTER WEEKLY TIMES LOCAL ITEMS east corner square. There are five candidates now in the field for sheriff. The time for church strawberry , festivals has about arrived. The school board will meet this afternoon to elect teachers for next year's work. J. F. Allen, ‘i prominent farmer of Shawnee, complimented us by a call Monday. J. W. Cover, who has been quite sick for some time with obstruction of the bowels is recovering. Geo. Todd is putting down a con- crete sidewald in front of his resi dence on North Main street. The Butler academy will close to- morrow. There will be one grad- uate this term, Miss Vollie Orear. The Bates county Sunday school convention will be held at the C. P. church in this city June 7th and 8th. D. D. Peeler, of Hudson township, announces this week as candidate for sheriff. Appropriate notice next week. This bad, rainy weather is just about as tough on the average news- paper man as the farmer and mer- chant. Dr. Patten has rented a house in El Dorado Springs, and he and his wife expect to spend the summer in that town. The time is short for the boys seeking the nomination for the differ- ent county offices, but the boys are hustling all the same. Mrs. S. M., Talbott and children of Rich Hill,were in the city the first of the week, visiting her mother, Mrs. Majors, and a host of friends. » det hne Rance ai ‘t forget the band concert and nttenty tative Friday night. We are proud of the Butler silver cornet band, and this being true let us give them 4 big donation. r. Carroll still refuses to explain an he abuses the democratic party all the time, and the republican party never. If he has an _explana- tion we would like to have it. D. W. Drummond announces him- self still on deck, and better than ever prepared to respond promptly avd satisfactorily to the wants of nis customers. His stock of wall- paper is the largest and best assort- ment ever brought to the city, also of window-glass, paints, etc., in his line. None but experienced work- men. Call and examine stock and get prices. 18-tf Rev. Campbell, of Kansas City, | State evangelist, is holding a pro. | tracted meeting at the Baptist) church. The meeting began Sun-! day night and will be continued on through the week and probably lon- | ger. | The tenth annual reunion of the alumni of Butler academy will be held at the chapel of the academy building, to morrow evening at 8 o'clock p.m. Au interesting pro gramme has been arranged and the occasion promises to be a pleasant one Tom Ells, candidate for sheriff, was in the city Friday. He said his father had been very sick for the past week, on account of which he had been unable to get out over the county and see the people. The collector of Rich Hil’ seems to be a little off in his balances. His books, however, have been turned over to S. J. Morrison and J. F. Smith, for investigation, and the seeming deficit may yet be explained satisfactorily. The Review and Tribune at Rich Hill are having a little friendly tilt, over circulation. The Review backs | its assertion with $100, the Tribune responds with chin music. Now the question is being agitated by| the county papers: “Where did Bob | Walters get that $100?" | The city of Butler has some | rights which the members of the malitia should respect. The shoot: | ing on the streets Monday night by members of this organiz nu noton | ly greatly disturbed the exer at! the opera house but was entir of order and the guilty persons | should be arrested and and pun ished. —_— —_— ' Dr. T. C. Boulware and family! have arrived home from their visit | to Fulton. The doctor reports hav- ing a good time, but says the rain and high water interfered materially with the pleasure of their visit. He reports farming very backward in that section and up to the time he left but little corn planting bad been done. Prof. J. F. Starr, principal of our public schools, is the right man in the right plac». The work he has accomplished this year is all that could be asked or expected it is | abreast with any schoo! in, the state, and gives general satisfaction to the tax payers of the district ‘he serves. He is a thorough school man and his long service in Butler is a guarantee that the people appreciate his work. The citizens of Nevada last week voted the proposition to issue $15,- 000 in bonds to build two new school houses, for that city. The vote was almost unanimous, standing 617 for | to 43 against. In the selection of| teachers Prof. Hawkins, principal, was retained at $1,600, being an ad-| vance in salary over last year of $150. As our space is limited, our cor- respondents will confer a favor by furnishing us with short pithy items full of news as an egg with meat. Items that will interest the neigh- borhood, suchas sickness, marriages, births, deaths, visitors, crops, cattle feeding, schools, etc. Such commu- nications are highly appreciated by the printer and are welcome visitors each week, not only so the newspa- per office, but to the families the paper visits. | ee a Capt. H. C. Donohoe, stockholder in the Union sees to it, that calamity | Carroll lampoons the democratic party right and left every week. The Capt. also takes particular ‘notice | that the Union says nothing against | the repuplican party. Yes, the cap- tain keeps his thumb hard down on the head of the little man, and when he presses the button the democrats eatch it. Mr. Leroy Florence, living on Ohio street, was quite seriously hurt Wednesday last by a colt running against him. The colt was getting away from a vicious ware in the lot and ran against the old gentleman with full force, knocking him down and badly spraining his back, from the effects of which he is still con- fined to his bed. Owing to Mr. Florence's extreme age he had a nar- row escape from being killed. The Tmxs had a pleasant call Monday from Levy Meyers of Law- rence, Kansas, who was spending | the day in the city visiting his broth- er Joe. Mr. Meyers is a prominent merchant of his town, and, unlike his brother, is a rock-ribbed, iron bound, moss backed demccrat. He said the democrats of his state would make a hard fight this year and hoped to hand the electoral vote of the state over to Grover. The democrats of Deep water township, organized a club at Spruce post office one night last week. The following officers were elected: I. M. Smith, president; G. W. Stithe, 1st vice-president; — Dean, 2nd vice- president; George W. Newberry, sec retary. Fifty-one members were en rolled the first night. They expect to have a membership of over one hundred in a very shert time. ; to his home in Bates couuty Patten, of Butler, has rented the / have ever been sold her before for ithe bones having i mile, and every acre of ground avail- Perry Pogers of Adrian was given a fine of $150 for selling liquor to a minor, Wednesday last The Elk Horn livery stables is re- eeiving a new coat of paint.

Dr. Christy informs us that Jobn Winsett living iu Summit township, who has been confined to his home since the death of bis wife several months ago with a severe spell of sickness, was sud- denly taken last week with rheuma- tism and at the present time is un able to move hand or foot. Also that Mr. Weiner, living in the same township, stricken some time ago with a paralytic stroke, which affect- | ed his entire right side, is no better, and for the past six days bas not been able to speak or partake of a} mouthful of solid food. He sub- sists on about a teacup full of milk a} day.

That's the way many people do business. The way the clown rides the mule at the cireus. They make We depend on one sale making us more sales, sale Instead of making can we make We expect every to advertise us. as much as we our the backward spring | Prices as low as we can. This, we} jand pyedicament the farmers are iv might say, is the secret of our suc- lin regard to putting in their crops cess in our shoe department. We want to call your especial at- tention to the following which illus- trates the fact that we make our prices as low as possible. “Selz” calf sewed shoes (congress or lace) $2.50; you've always paid $3.00 for very same shoe—that’s 20 per cent saved. “Selz” “Rock bottom” shoes $2.50. We can show dozeus of customers who have paid $3.00 for “Rock bot- toms.” There's another 20 per cent saving. Wesave you 20 per cent also on those $250 “Selz” tinue calt or stoga boets. No “Selz” less than $3 00 We save you 30 pet Selz $5.00 welt sewed boois Can show you Where they have been sold for $6.50. We also saye you 20 per cent on Selz 2 buckle grain plow shoes at $1 25, and 333 per cent on the Se’z Creole congress shoe at $1 50. We cin prove ull these assertions —then why not buy your footwear of us and save this 20 to 334 per ct Death of Reorder Douglass. The Times is very sorry it is under the necessity this week of bearing to its readers the sad intelligence of the death of the recorder of deeds, 8. A. Douglass, which occurred at his howe in this city SJiouday morn ing from the effecis «i a paralytic streke, received while standing i1 through the flesh. He also iuforms us of the serious sickness of Mrs. | Mary Black, and daughte, liv jug six milessoutheast of town. Mrs | Black is a widow lady and both are down with a severe attack of rheu- | matism and quite seriously sick. Sunday last in company with Dr. Boulware, a Tives reporter took a little trip to the country, some six or seven miles south oftown. We! were more than agreeably surprised | at the prospects of a crop. From! complaints made of the weather we | had expected to find little or no farm} work done, stalks standing in the fields, plows under sheds, cornplan- ters in the barn, water everywhere, | farmers looking blue and chaos reign- ing supreme. Butin this we were mistaken for general prosperity was | everywhere spread before us. On! either side of the rode as far as the eye could see was moving ficlds of! oats, wheat, grass and great fields of corn which was coming up even and nicely, the rows of which could be plainly seen for-a quarter of a ing for corn planting seemed to have been piowed aud planted. The fields were free of weeds and grass and a great deal of the corn was ready for the cultivator. 1t was a pretty sight to see such far reaching and general prosperity spread out before our eyes, and felt gratified to know that crop appearances, (at least in this section of the county,) was so favor- able to the farmer, and we hepe it is thus over the balance of the county. | The place of our destination was the; house of Mr. Sarvice, an old gentle i man who has been severely afflicted ; ed into the yard, fe jto the greu:.d. his yard, Tuesday ast week He bad justate hi a and walk- y ing in his usual heaith when he suddenly dropped He was carried into the house and medica! aid summon- ed, whe it was found that one balf of his body was entirely paralyzed. He was hardly conscious after strick- en unti! his death. At times he din j appeared to recognize those of his acquaintances wio called to see him and wouid take their hand, but be was unable to speak, aud the recog nition was made by the eyes aid lips. Mr. Douglass, was elected recorder at the last election on the Union Labor ticket. His feru.er af- filiation had been with ithe d+mo- cratic party. He served four years in the southern army, was an old citizen of the county, and wall liked. He was upwards of sixty yeure of age, aad leaves a wie and eight children. He was a memler of the Baptist church and also of the ma sonic, fraternity and the funeral was conducted by that ord-r yesterday. Itis Not What We Say But what Hood's Sarsaparilla Joes, that makes it sell, aud has given it such a firm and lasting hold upon the confidence of ths people. TL- voluntary statewent of thousan 3s 0! | people prove beyond question that this preparation possesses wonderful medicinal power. Hood's Pills cure co:stipation by the alimentary canal.

Blakemore, pastor of the Ohio! street M E. church, chosen as the | mouth piece for the occasion, deliv- ered a fine sermon which was listea- ed to with interest by the large audi ence present. Monday being deco | ration day, the post met at their lalland after arranging prelimina- ries marched to the city of the dead east of town, and paid their respe ‘ts | to their departed comrades by strew- | ing their s‘lont mounds with beauti ful flowers in token of brothe ly love. This is right and no fe'r minded man will find fault with the old soldier, in thus, once a year ven- erating the memory of his departed comrade, whe ia the storm of battle and the many hardships of we~ stood shoulder to shoulder and fought for what he deemed to be right, wheth- er he wore the blue or the gray. During the afternoon the post was treated to a most elegant address by Judge Shirk, of Sedalia, at the court house. Jackson Corder, of Corder Station, Lafayette county, spent Thursday and Friday :n town visiting at the residence? of his son-in-law W. H. Walton. He said the farmers in his section were completely drowned out and in his neighborhood little or no ground breaking had been done. On his farm only one or two days plow. | ing had been done, and the corn planter had not yet be n taken out of the barn. The wheat crop was looking tolerably well, but with them without a late fall, he feared the corn crop would be almost a failure. Mr. Corder said from what he ob- served of the planting in Bates coun- ty the farmers should feel encour- aged and congratulate themselves as they were far shead of their neigh- bors north. Dr. Boulware of Butler, who left Fulton before the railroad was built says tie town has so changed and its people alsu thet hy feels like a stran- ger here. When he drove into town he thoughi the driver had made a mistake in the place.—Fulten Ga- zette Nothing can be said in favor of the best medicine in the world that may not be said of the most worthless. In one case, it’s true; in the other, it isn’t;—but how ean you distinguish ? Judge by what is done. There’s only one blood-purifier that’s guar- enteed. It’s Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery—and this is what is done with it ; if it doesn’t benefit or cure, in every case, you get your money back. Isn't it likely to be the best ? All the year round, as well at one | time as another, it cleanses and pur- | ifles the system. All blood-poisons ; must go. For Dyspepsia, Bilious- | | mess, Scrofula, Salt-rheum, Tetter, nL | Erysipelas, or any blood-taint or order, it is an unequaled remedy. { It’s the cheapest, too. With this, | you p2y only for the good you get. And nothing else is “just as good.” | Ik may be better—for the dealer. | PLEADS FOR HIS LIFE. Marderer Speers, to be Hanged To-day Writes an Elequent Appeal for Clemency. Little Rock, Ark., May 26.—J. EB. Spee:, a white man, whe was tried and convicted in Columbia county some months ago on a chavge of venue from Oauchita county for kill- ing a man named Hunt in the latter county, and who was brought here to the penitentiary for safe keeping, was taken back to Columbia county this morning and will be hanged to- morrew morning unless Governor Eagle grants a reprieve. The kill- ing greatly incensed the people of, Oauchita, and so strong was the feeling against the convicted man that he had to be brought here as mob yiolence was feared. It is not often that aman of Speers’ educa- tion and position meets death on the gallows, and his case is some- what remarkable. Ina carefully ” and beautifully written, well punctu- ated letter to the governor on the 22nd, Speer says that he killed Hunt to preserve his own life, and sol- emnly swears. “with a full realiza- tion of the fact that Iam almost on the brink of eternity, when I fired the fatal shot I was fully impressed with the belief that Mr. Hunt, the deceased, was about to take my life.” D.
