The coming Catholic conference at Chicago promises to be an event of much importance. G. W. Cowley and wife left Wed- nesday for a two weeks visit to rela- tives in Cole county. Secretary of State Lesueur is out in a letter strongly denouncing bond investment companies. Dr. Howard of Bucklin, Mo, was shot dead while trying to break into his former wife’s home. Mrs. George W. Sherman was fa- tally hurt in a runaway accident vear Macon, Mo., Sunday morning. New York's exclusive society is wounded because it entertained an off colored scion of Russian royalty. ‘Lhe dead body of Thomas Carvey was found in Gove County Kansas. He is thought to have been murdei- ed. Managers of banks at Courtland and Jamestown, Kansas, have disap- peared, leaving but little muney for depositors. John Leintz, a Constable at Gard’s Point, near Mount Carmel, Ill., was shot and killed by a mun he was at- tempting to arrest. Mrs. Mary Sturdevant, said to be from St. Louis. was driven out of Scranton, Miss., by threats signed “The Old Kuklux.” A man who has lost both his arms proposes to replace them by grafting an arm from each of two convicts on the stumps of his arms. Three young men under 21 years of age have been arrested near Marshfield, Mo, for manufacturing and passing counterfeit money. The September term of criminal court of Kansas City will be kept busy with evil doers. Oue hun- dred cases have been docik«ted. Senator Vest created quite a - sen- sation in the Senate Monday by de- claring himself in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver.

For the present the Bazoois is sued from 616 Ohio street and the office is on the street cars in a hat and over a pair of No. 9 shoes. Call and see us with any orders from a business card to a big steam boat.—Bazoo. Nevada? Mo., Aug. 10.—The Ver non county old settlers are holding a reunion at Sulphur Springs to-day. Elijah Bryan, aged 93, who built the first flour mill in the Cherokee war and Noah Summers who has been 63 years a resident of the county were among those in attendance. The people of Ashland Kas. are ewphatically on retrenchment and some would say reform. They have dismissed all their six preachers ex- cept one. He does the preaching for the whole town at the salary of one. His contract is to preach nothing but pure gospel and taboo all side issues. Ex. Jas. Saighman and Jas. Butler were out hunting last Monday when a ball from Saighman’s revolver struck Butler's leg causing an ugly wound. Dr. Hall proted the wound and succeeded in getting the ball out. The moral to this is not a new one, boys should be careful with fire Attend the ice cream supper to- night. It is stated that the farmers of jabout thirty-six counties in Kansas are in need. The Bates county teachers in- stitute will be keid at Rich Hill next year. Mrs. Fred Dorn, who bas been on k list for the past week is im- proving. Everybody go to the ice cream supper to-night. Co.

The Tiss good friends E. C. Mudd, and A. L. Anderson, of Bur- dette, neighborhood spent Tuesday in the cityand gave us a pleasant call. Both report good crops in their section and the people happy and contented. Times are not half so bad as peo- ple would have them appear. There is just as much money in the coun- try at the present time as there has been for the past three years The only trouble is that the people are hoarding their money. A fire Monday totally destroyed the Cresent flouring mill and eleva tor at Denver, the loss including a large quanity of flour in eacks and the grain in the elevator is estimat- ed to be $250,000 to $300,000. When we think about it, is there any wonder that the government has gotten into financial difficulties when we consider that the politics upon which this nation has been run- ning were outlined by two men both of whom wrecked their own private business? McKinley and Foster are fine specimens of financial statesmen. —Kr. The suspended national bank at Fort Scott resumed business Tues- day. Bank exammer Latimer, who has had charge of the bauk since it closed has issued a notice to the depositors stating that the institu- tion is in splendid finaucial shape and is worthy the confidence: of the people. The republican party has been too particular in trying to make our dollar worth one hundred cents in the countries from which they have excluded our trade by a prohibitive tariff. Give usa revenue tariff and the money of our own constitutior. In other words, give us democracy in legislation. - “What is not demo- cratic is dangerous.”—Dade Co. Ad- vocate. To the men who took part in the battle it does not seem a third of a century since the blue and the gray mingled in deadly conflict at Wil- son's creek, but the shadow on the dial of time shows that it was thirty- two years ago on Thursday. The gray and grizzly veterans who took part in the reunion day before yes terday, were sadly changed from the valient, buoyant youths who gave such a grand exhibition of American valor on August 10, 1861.—Kaw’s Mouth. Rich Hill Tribune—Dr. A E. Lyle, one of the pioneer citizens of Sprague, left for Butler yesterday evening, where he will practice med- icine. Mr. Lyle is well known to the citizens of Rich Hill, and all wish him success in his new field Butler is to be congratulated upon securing so able a gentleman.

Mr. Todd will join the party at Witchita Kas., in a day or 80. The institute will wlose this week and the teachers will return to their respective homes. They have hada pleasant time and go away fom But- ler with the best wishes of our peo- ple. If the people worked as hard to relieve the existing stringency as they do to explain it, the situation might be materially brightened, and the straiu on the great American jaw lessened at least one half. If, as the statisticians tell us, sui- cide is more common ‘among single men than married men, the explana- tion may be found in the fact that some of the latter have such a taste of the hereafter that they’ fear to tempt fate any further.-—Ex. The coal miners strike at Pitts burg, Kansas, has been settled and the miners will return to work. The miners have lost several months work and gained nothing as they had to return to work at the com- pany’s terms, and many miners have lost their job. Will Bumbarger, the wholesouled, popular and editor of the Kaw’s Mouth, Kansa3 City, was in Butler yesterday in the interest ot his paper. The Kuw’'s Mouth is a handsomely illustrated literary and humorous weekly, priut ed upon the very best paper and the workmanship 1s excellent. He ought to get a big subscription list at this office. The illustrations are tiue the humor fresh crisp and chaste. genial, talented A grand non-political basket pie- nic will be held at Burdette. Satur day August 26th. A splendid pro gram has been aryanged and the day is looked to by the farmers of nerth ern Bates as one of pure enjoynrent and pleasure. A number of speakers will be preseut among whom are S. P. Francisco, C. 4s Denton, W. O. Atkeson, Butler, N. M. Given, Har- risonville, J. T.Grider, Kansas City, and others. Everybody invited. The picnic held near the residence of Capt.

These picnics it were possible to keep away the extravagant and brainless orator, who forces himself forward on such occasions to harangue the people. His stock in trade is to abuse banks, corporations and the business of the country in general. While they have not a dollar in the world, and don’t own real estate enough to bury their carcass, it’s no trouble for them to tell the farmer how to make money; how the government ought to be ‘run and what theconsequence would |be if his advice was not taken. We have it from the mouth of a reliable gentleman that one of these same orators, who pretends to love the farmer so dearly, and who has been spreading chin musicover this coun- ty for the past ten years gratie, stepped into one of our banks the other day and importuned a loan for a farmer, aud at the same time no- tified the banker that he wanted $10 out of the deal, as he was hard up and needed money. He also said he | had been wasting his time in trying to educate these d—d fool farmers and now he proposed to turn his at tention toward doing something for himself The banker assured him that the farmers would take care of themselves and~his resolution to henceforth go to work for himself was a good one and he had better stick to it.
