The convening of the circuit court Monday did not seem to cause much stir among the farmers and the general appearance of the streets and public square would in- dicate that they are attending strictly to their own business, killing weeds and growing corn, which is a better business just now for the country than lawing. On the convening of circuit court Monday the following named Gentle- men were sworn to act as grand concerts on its streets during the summer months. The Odd Fellows held memorial services at the Baptist church Sun- day evening at 3 o'clock, Rev. Brouse, of the Episcopal church officiating.

The news from Rich Hill, as we go to press, is that the general im- pression prevails that the union miners have agreed to strike in sym- pathy for their Kansas brethren, and are only awaiting orders to walk out. If they quit work the others will be complled to do so too, or there would be serious trouble. There are some 1,500 or 2,000 miners in the Rich Hill coal fields, and they are all satisfied with their treatment by the company and have no grounds of complaint except in sym- pathy with the Kansas strikers. Don’t Forget This. The disposition of the clothing stock of Sam'l Leyy & Co., does not | in any way affect the dry goods de- partment, which will be coaducted in the future at the old stand as heretofore, under the firm name of Sam'l Levy & Co. Mr. Silas Levy, member of the firm and business manager, assures us that there will | be no change in this branch of their business in this city. They are here, and here to stay, and propose in the future as in the past, to deal fairly with the people and give them value received for every dollar spent with the firm. Messrs. Levy & Co. have enjoyed the confidence and esteem of the people of Bates county for the past 16 years, and need no rec- ommendation from us. They carry a large stock of dry goods, notions, carpets, etc, and a visit to their store will convince you that they are not being undersold by any mer- chant in Bates county. Before buy¢ ing take a look through their estab- lishment. It will pay you. His Foot Crushed. Returning from Foster Satur- day on the Emporia train, Martin Douglas, a citizen of this town, met with quite a serious accident at the junction south of town. The train on which he was a passenger had stopped for the arrival of a train on the L. & S. and having to wait seve- ral minutes the passengers alighted and were amusing themselves by the side of the track.
