Tu this age of common sense and ‘old fashioned inteiligence, high he- roics, brag and bluster do not win in business; sooner or later they re- act and injure the man who resorts to their nse. In addressing these words to the buying public of Bates county, I do not seek to play upon the sympathies of or prejudices of the people, or to affect the air of a martyr. I merely desire to talk plain, straight business and state fates. When I bought the ground near the depot, in Butler, where the “Farmers’ Exchange” is now located it was with the intention of putting in a full line of my Mill products, and in connection therewith a stock of groceries. I thought this was my right as a law-abiding American citi- zen. I had no intention of injuring any one and dou’t desire to do so now, but self-defense justifies me in stating the plain facts. When my building was ready I made an ap pointment to meet Mr. Sam Meyers, (who represents the Ridenoar Baker Grocer Co.) iu Butler on April 3rd., but through a misunderstanding he left before I could get to Butler. Having decided to give the firm my order I eoncluded to wait until Ins next visit, April 10th. I came to Butler early in the morning and met Mr Meyers; be made an appoint meni to deal with When came he informed me in the pres ence of x reputable witness that he could not sell me any goods. He stated that he had a large trade in Butler, that the merchants were of- fended at something I bad said or done, and had informed him in em- phatic language that if he “sold Le Mar an opening stock of groceries they would not buy another de‘ar's worth from him.” me. he was greatly surprised at this turn of these » suincus, publie-spirited } gentlemen would shut me out there.

Times, isth. | A cyclone lasting about five min- | utes swept Osage City, Kan., thirty miles south of Topeka, at 4 o'clock | yesterday afternoon. It killed one | person, a colored woman, injured | fifteen or twenty others, riously, and totally destroyed from eighteen to twenty houses. Reports of the storm first reached this city ina roundabout way, all| direct communication being cut off for seven hours. Wires were not only down between that but other neighboring points. Telegraphic communication with Osage City was restored at 11:30 last night, when the Times received special dispatches confirmatory as the facts above. One of these stat ed: Many thousand dollars worth of property were destroyed and mavy persons injured. Eighteen or twere ty houses were totally destroyed and nearly every house in the busi- ness part of the city was more or less damaged. Mrs. Andrew Wag- ner, a colored woman, was instantly killed and her husband severely hurt. Inthe uortheast part of the city many resideuces were complete ly destroyed and in nearly every in- stance the occupauts were seriously injured. Mrs. J. Maker and daugh ter lost everything they had and both parties seriously hurt. It is estimated that about fifty persons jare made homeless and destitute by the storm. some se- SCENE TO INSPIRE AWE.

The clouds hung low | andin stratas, some light, | black and others of a greenish cast. | These seemed to be constantly in- jterweaving and the appearance was one to inspire awe in anyone.” At Redding, twelve miles west of!
