A large number of our people have taken occasion to tell us that they endorse the position taken by the Times that the new jail should not be built in the court house yard Mathew Nothaker, aged 25 years, was shot and kilied Sunday night in a St. Louis saloon by anegro named Ike Dixon, aged 68 years. In going out of the place Nothaker brushed against Dixon and was shot in re- turn. We have a few stand lamps and fancy hanging !amps left and wil sell them at less than they cost us. We mean just exactly what we say. Wirriams Cash Grocery Geo. A. Todd showed us a design for a jail which is new and novel.

Not to be behind the times in spring improvements John Pharis, one of Butler’s best citizens has made some valuable and convenient improvements about his home in the southeastern part of the city, in the shape of a concrete sidewalk and has also painted his residence and otherwise spruced up his home. We hope to see others in that neigh- borhood follow his good example. Strongly Endorsed. The advertising of Hoods Sarsa- parilla appeals to the sober common sense of thinking people because it is true: and it is always substantiat- ed by endorsements which in the financial world would be accepted without a moment's hesitation.

The county court will meet next Monday when the proposition to build a jail for Bates county will be considered and acted upon. This improvement for the county bas been badly needed for years, and the action of the court in taking the matter in hand meets with the barty approval of every good citizen in the county.
