Fire at Melbourne, Ark., did dam age to the extent of $16,000, Republicans of Iowa are at vari- auce on the prohibition question. An octogenuian, father of 19 children, committed suicide at To- peka, Kas. Captain W. C. Hale of Joliet kill- ed his wife and himself with a pair of shears. The big schooner Minnehaha was wrecked on Lake Michigan and six lives lost during the storm. Last week was the banner week at the World’s Fair, the attendance aggregating 2,121,000. The Lake Erie freight steamer Dean Richmond was lost with her crew of 18 persons. M. Bartholdi’s latest idea is that statues of American heroes should be erected on Liberty Island. Ex-warden of the Missouri peni tentiary, J. L. Morrison, has located at Perry, in the Cherokee strip. The stringency in the money mar- ket is given as excuse for theshutting down of the Mexico fire brick works. ———— The main buildings of the South Dakota University were destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of $100,000. The miners at Ardmore have at last yielded to the entreaties of the strikers at Huntsville and decided to quit work. The house of collector W. C. Morrison, of Ozark county was burglarized the other night of $350 in cash and about the same amount in notes. A forest fire is raging at the head of Lime creek in Colorado and sev- eral thousand acres of fine timber has been destroyed A letter writen by Henry Clay in 1820, in which he expresses anxiety asto the issue of the ‘Missouri question.” has been discovered. — The democratic party is not build- ed on such a weak foundation that it can be overthrown by the action of the present congress on the silver question. Geo. Gould, in discussing the ap pointment of receivers for the Union Pacitic, says it is best for all con cerned. Receivers for the Missouri Pacific have at no time been contem- plated. Antiquarians bave discovered that “Pop” Singleton of Vineland, N. J., is the possessor of a valuable muse- um containing many relics of the Revolutionary War. We have the utmost confidence in Mr. Cleveland’s honesty and patri otism. His views on the money question do not coincide with those held by the democrats of the West and South, but he is just as honest in the convictions he holds and his motives should not be impugned. Gov. Lewelling of Kansas, has re moved Robert Leslie, populist mem ber of the Topeka police board, and appointed Mrs. Eva MJ.

Some of the rich people of St. Louis are attending church service by telephone, they have connected their parlors by wire with the pulpit and sit at home and take in the ser- mon by telephone. It is thought the sheriff has finally captured the negro who so_ brutally assaulted Miss Barr in Ft. Scott, a few days ago. The man locked up is Ora Clariey, and he was captured at Centerville, Iowa If a newspaper criticises the pub- lic acts of a county officer there is always alot of little parasites to cry out “disorganizer.’ But that same official can go over the county ma ligning and traducing the paper and its editor without beinga “disorgan- ” izer. Commissioner Lochren’s pension report shows a net increase of 98, 944 pensioners for the past year. Perhaps republicans can figure out democratic hostility to the old sol- diers in this. For every fraudulent pension stopped two honest pensions have been granted.—Ex. The adjustment of the merchauts license by the county court is 2 ma‘e ter in which the court and merch ants of the county are alone directly concerned and is not a matter of newspaper controversy, and the ef- forts of certain newspapers to gain popularity by the abuse of merchante, or of the court and its attorney is extremely nauseating and nonsensi- cal and will not redown to their credit or profit. The merchants sued on their state- ments have accepted the compromise of 45 cents, and are filing their new statements. Up to Tuesday the clerk informs us that fifteen had filed new statements. Others had applied tor blanks and he was satiafi- ed all would be in before the limit of two weeks ‘had expired, the Times is glad the trouble was settled witb- out the process of law and the ex- pense and annoyance of suits which would certainly have been the ree sult had the cases not been settled as they were. Indications point very strungly to a compromise in the Senate on the silver question. The compromise biil will probably contain the principal features of all the substitute bills of fered and will have to conciliate ail sections. It will be very hard to get a bill to do this but we have confi- dence in our democratic senators working out a way. It will proba- bly be drawn so that it will make a party issue, the silver men depend ing on the populists and the ultra silver republicans to carry it through. In spite of the stringent times never in the history of the county have the farmers been in as good condition as at the present time. Good crops, fat stock, beautiful weather, with schools and churches at their very doors. The travelling -|men, who are ina position to know say that the merchants of Butler dis count their bills and appear in bet ter financial condition than any town the size in the west.

To such our doors are open and hands extended in greeting. Habeas corpus proceedings have This is believed to be the liams of Nevada, made a desperate and probably fata! attempt upon her own life by cutting her throat with a buteber knife. She now lies in a precarious condition from loss of j blood and the seriousness of the in juriesinflicted. Miss Williams is an} orphan. She has been making her home with her aunt, Mrs. Eliza H. Pryor in Metz township, northwest of this city. They went away Sun- day on a visit with friends and Miss Fronie went to a neighbor's, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Robinson, near by. She remained there all night and on Monday morning the young lady went to her home, performed certain housewerk, and while in a despond ent mood, took laudanum. The deadly drug was not swift enough and desiring to hasten death she walked to a table, seized a large butcher knife, stepped deliberately in tront of a large mirror and plung ed the cold steel into her throat. The blade cut a wide gash im mediately beneath her chin, deep, bloody and ugly, but by a hair's breadth escaped the main artery. This occurred, it is suppossed, be- tween 8 and 9 o'clock. She left the Robinson residence about 7 o'clock a.m and later were horrified by the young girl making her appearance suddenly and then fainting, blood) before their eyes. Prowpt medical attention was summoned but is believed she can not ree ver. The girl herself says she hus nu home, no one cared for her and she wanted to go to her moth: Sho says she does not want to ree. ver. She was alone when she did the deed. It is uuderstood that the ciuse was disappointment in a love affair, objection being made to her marriage with a young man who has been paying her attention. All the pariies are substantial people of this county. falling Une of the Effects ot the World’s Fair. R. H. Review. While the world’s fair has been the wonder of the 20th century, wor- thy of allthe patronge it received, yet it no doubt contributed a consid- erable share to the money stringen- cy in the country generally. From Rich Hill alone over 150 persons have been counted off at random} who have visited the fair, and it is safe to estimate that these people left $15,000, at alow estimate, in Chicago. Taking Bates county as a whole no less than $75,000 and perhaps four times as much, was ex pended in seeing the fair. It every} county in the state or every other county throughout the country con tributed a like proportion, the fig ures would run very high into the millions.
