The taking of evidence is still going on and will this week, and it is probable the verdict of the jury will not be had before Monday or Tuesday. We believe in giving honor to whom honor is due.

A party of fifty tramps with drawn revolvers took possession of the Kan sas City, St. Joseph and Council Bluffs freight train. at Pacific Junc- tion and rode to the outskirts of St. Joseph Tuesday morning and then took to the woods. The fact that the ways and means committee are busily engaged in pre- paring a new tariff bill aud with the knife will be vigorously applied does not seem to disturb the starting up It has been argued by the republican party and press that to temper with the tariff would put a stop to the operations of these in- dustries and throw the laboring men out of employment. William Hornberger, who has been confined to his bed for the past six months, with a severe spell of sickness died at his home in this city Monday morning, and was burried in Oak Hill cemetery with Masonic honors, Tuesday at 10 o'clock. His long spell of sickness had reduced him in flesh to a mere skeleton and no doubt death was a relief. Mr. Hornberger was a good citizen, a miller by trade and a very) quiet and industrious man, well lik- ed by all who knew him. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn their loss The Bates county Democratic papers have got together at last and for the first time in their history. The other day the Rich Hill Review in a stirring editorial nominated Col. N. A. Wade, the veteran editor of the Democrat, for the office of Representative in the General As- sembly, and this has been endorsed by Col. Wade's old competitor, the editor of the Butler Times, who says: “We do not belong to that class of politicians who engage in Injun war- fare and always carry a butcher knife in their sleeves. We believe we are broad enough to prefer build- ing a man up to pulling him down. If Colonel Wade has an am- bition to represent the magnificent county of Bates in the state legisla ture we will not throw an obstacle in bis way.” And now the doughty Colonel, finding himself booked with- out solicitation for Jefferson City, looks wonderingly over his spectacles and says: Well, well, the millenium | elevator at the vitrified brick works is coming.—St. Louis Republic. Rev. Pearce, pastor of the M. E. Church south in this city, took his departure for Booneville Saturday, to attend the conference. Rev. Pearce has been at the head of the church in this city for the past two years and by devotion to duty, chrise tian walk and conversation has gain- ed the good will not only of his members but of the entire commu- nity, and during his minesterial work of two years not « jar has occurred tomar the pleasant relations existing in the church. He bas labored un- ceasingly for the upbuilding of the cause of religion and good govern- ment and it is by his influence and untiring efforts that a new and handsome brick church house is to take the place of the old one. He not only put in his time and efforts in behalf of the new church but con- tributed from his own pocket a handsome donation, and we will say it is due entirely to his zeal that the city of Butler and membership of | &' the Methodist church south are to have a substantial edifice of worship. We do not know whether Mr. Pearce will be returned to Butler or not but we do know that wherever his lot may be cast he will have a warm spot in the hearts of the people of this city and their prayers for the future welfare and happiness of him- self and devoted family.

It is estimated that Masons and Odd Fellows will secure 75,000 bushels for their suffer- ing brethren but this will be only a small part of the amount needed. —Nevada Mail. Poblic Sale.

We have raised the price on nothing, and lowered it on many articles. Still while the goods has advanced, out- ting our profit smaller, our trade has increased, as we have often told you, we can sell at a wholesalers profit, provided we sell goods enough. There is where the whole secret lies, and that is why we haye urged the people of Bates County to lend us their support. a big trade we can not sell so cheap. It is a known fact, all over Bates, and adjoining counties, that Grocer- ies are sold cheaper in Butler than anywhere. And who should have credit for this? We claim the credit. Ask your- selves the question if you could buy Groceries cheap in Butler before we inaugurated the cash system. Credit Stores sell you goods as cheap ag they can afford to. They have to have from 25 to 40 percent on what they sell to counteract bad accounts. While we can sell You goods on the 5 to 10 per cent. See the difference. We have lots to contend with. Some Merchants will tell our customers that we sell sugar cheap as a leader, and all other goods as high as they do, when it is a fact that other mer- chante come nearer us on sugar than anything they sell. We can only lar on sugar, while we can save you from 25 to 40 per cent on other ‘oods. It bas been intimated to us that there has been an understanding among several of the merchants here people that we are giving short weight selling poor quality of goods or that we are not selling anything cheap but granulated sugar, when itis a fact, as we told you «before, they come nearer us on granulated | sugar than anything they sell. We have asked the people of Bates county once before to quit asking they can’t sell as cheap as us, be- with us on prices on the same quali- ty of goode, but come to ne, Below we give you some prices: Without | save you about 15 cents on the dol- | and other places of late to break our | trade down if they can by telling the | the question of other merchants why | j cause no cridit house can compete. where | as cash.
