It now seems probably the bill to repeal the tax on fstate banks will not receive a favorable report from the committee.

George Klockson, of Fort Scott, and grand treasurer of the knights of honor, left Ft. Scott Tuesday of last week for Leavenworth, Kansas, to attend a meeting of the grand lodge, and mysteriously disappeared. He was last seen in Kansas City.

Dickerson, managing editor of the St. Louis, Chronicle, isspend- ing a week visiting friends in this city and county. He left Butler Sunday evening to spend a few days with Maj.

Smith & Rhodes have re tired from the management of the Record, and O. D. Austin has taken charge of the paper again. Messrs. Smith & Rhodes were good newspa- per men, clever gentlemen and the Tres regrets to see them throw up the pencil, paste pot and scissors. However, chrnges will go on in all kinds of business, and we know of no man we would rather see at the helm of the Record than Bro. Aus. The trial of the six men arrested upon the charge of participating in mobbing the negro Jackson, had their preliminary trial before Squire Smith at Rich Hill last week and after a thorough examination which consumed the greater part of the -| week, all were discharged from cus- tody. The justice deeming the evi- dence insufficient to hold them. Judge Boxley was present and con- ducted the examination on the part of the state and did all in his power to up hold the law. . The late rains have put enough water in the river to supply the wa- -|ter company and the extra expense of double pumping has been dispens- ed with. The company has had a serious time for the past month, and we are glad to know that the worst has passed. Much of the success of the supply ot water during the drouth is due to the skill and untir- ing energy of Superintendent Rob- inson, whose ingenuity and pluck kept the pumps going. This is Their Reward. Macon, Mo., Sept. 29.—Starley Johns and Sam O’Reynolds, the two young men who took up a rail from the Wabash railrcad near Atlanta, Macon county, August 3 last, and then flagging the passenger train to prevent a wreck, for the purpose, they claim, to secure a reward from the railroad, were this afternoon con victed and sentenced to the peniten- tiary. They acknowledged the act but denied that it was willful or ma- licious.

C. Chipps and Miss Annie Scoles, of Nyhart; Charles Rice and Miss Lillie Hogan, of Rich Hill; Frank Cuddeback, of Butler, and Miss Nora Robinson, of Pleasant Gap; Orville Murrell, of Everett, and Mies Emma Bible, of Adrian. Dr. Porter has opened an office in the old Pyle building on the North- west vorner of the public square. He is a graduate of the medical depart- ment of Yale College class of 61 and has been eugaged in the practice of medicine continously since that date. The doctor comes to Butler with a life time of bedside experience that will commend itself to one and all. On another page will be found the official statement of the Farmer's Bank of Bates county, it shows this prosperous institution to have gone through the panic in fine shape and come out with $41,904.05 available cash on hand while the total resoure- es are over $121,000.00. This is the strongest statement this prosperous institution has ever made and surely deserves favorable consideration. 1t. Robt. R Dameron, a freight brake- man on the Mo. Pacific railroad, was fatally injured at Pleasant Hill Sat- urday. He was standing on the main track of the L. & S. Signaling to have a caboose cut off when an engine backed down upon him. Both feet were cut off, one arm was broken and his skull fractured. Hej died five hours later. He resided at| Georgetown. The readers of the Times will re gret to learn of the death of that very able and good citizen Uncle Marion Todd, whose death occurred after a protracted spell of sickness at his home near Merwin, the 3d inst. The funeral services were conduted by Elder Parmer,at Sharon the 4th. The deceased was one of Bates counties most esteemed citi- zens, widely known and respected by all who knew him. He wasa dem- ocrat of the old school and always took an active part on behalf of the cause of his party, and his wise council in furture deliberations of party polices will be sadly missed. The Ties regrets very much it has not the facts at hand for a more ex- tended obituary of this venerable and honored citizen. Jobn Oechsli, formerly a deputy United States marshal, is insane. Yesterday he was taken before the County court by friends and infor- mation filed by John S. Burkhart asking that he be committed to the insane asylum, Drs. Pettijohn and Punton certified that Oechsli was suffering from advanced softening of the brain. When he appeared at the Court house Mr. Oechsli thought he he had been summoned there to testi- fy on some case and begged piteous- ly not to be put on the witness stand. He screamed at the top of his voice, and his shrieks could be heard for blocks away. It required three men to hold him. The above is taken from the Kan- sas City Times. Mr Oechsli, form erly lived at Clinton, where he did quite an extensive business in the manufacture of buggies and wagons.

Henry Starr, Kid Wilson and John Pointer, the desperadoes confined in the Ft. Smith jail, got up a meet- ing Sunday and attempted to break jail. The jailor discovered the plot, but tke trouble was not quelled un- til a prisoner’s named Chas. Jones was shot in the head by a guard. By order of the county court the treasurer of the county, Samuel H. Fisher, through his attorney Thos. J. Smith, is preparing to bring suit against all merchants in the county who have failed or refused to com- ply with the law in filing a correct statement of the greatest amount of goods had on hand the first day of June. This is an unpleasant duty for tee treasurer, but as a sworn of- ficer, who is liable for failure to do his duty in the premises, Mr. Fisher will not shrink from doing his whole duty faithfully. this city, who have been associated together in the practice of law for the past five or six years, dissolved partnership Monday. Since the dis- solution of the old firm Mr. W. W. Graves, has associated himself with Capt. Harvey Clark,and the new firm | will occupy the office of the old over |the Missouri State Bank. In select- | ing another partner Mr. Graves has ‘certainly used good * judgement, | Capt. Clark is one of Bates county’s brightest young men and stood a most rigid examination by Judge Lay and other attorneys when ad- mitted to the bar, and the Times predicts a bright future for him among the legal lights of this eec- tion of the state. Mr. Graves, of course, is ap old practitioner,and bis success and ability as alawyer needs no encomiums from us. Success to the new firm. Parkinson & Graves, attorneys of Hume Postoffice Robbed. We see fromthe Telephone, that burglars entered the office at Hume Thursday night last, blew the safe open and secured $600 of Uncle Sam’s money. The robbery took place about 2 o'clock and the thieves took the necessary precaution to deaden the sound of the explosion by covering the safe with wet blank- ets which they seeured in the store, and piling flour around the safe. The noise however, aroused W. A. Bales who sleeps in J. B. Zeigler’s store near by the post office build- ing. He hastily dressed and going to the office heard the burglars at work, but being unarmed he went for help, but before he returned the burglars had done their work and fled. They also appropriated about $40 worth of shoes, hats, shirts, etc., from the stock of goodsin the build- ing. This is the second attempt at robbing the Hume post office in the past year. ‘Ihe first trial the thieves were not successful. Later:—Wichita, Kan., Oct. 1.—- Three men, giving thenames of Jack Crawford, Joe Davis and James Ward, wanted at Hume, Mo., for the robbery of tha postoffice there a few nights ago, was captured here early this morning with nearly $250 in stamps and money onthem. They had tried to dispose of the stamps last night, and that aroused suspi- cion. She men secured $500 worth of stamps and money and some oth- er valuables from the robbed post- | office. James S. Strauser of Sedalia and Miss Hannah McKay, a handsome school teacher of Jefferson county, were secretly married December 10th last, and the young lady’s par- ents were not apprised of the matter until the other day when Strauser applied for his wife.
