Bryant could not get along without tbe booming Tims and handed in his name and the eash. For all of which he has our thanks The little town of Willow Springs had a big fire Sunday morning and $12,125 worth of property was des- ‘ troyed. The fire originated in asa- loon. Out of respect the banks and bus iness houses in Warrensburg closed Tuesday during the funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Senator Cockrell. T. V.

H. Kracke &Co, of St. Louis. Several thousand bushels of grain was destroyed and the machinery was a total loss. Robt. L Ray, of Adair, Indian Territory will read the booming Tiuzs. Mr. Ray went to the Terri- tory a week or so ago to make that place his future home. The Times wishes him well. We see from the Nevada Mail of Saturday, that Frank Anderson, ex- city collector of Nevada has been sentenced to five years in the peni- tentiary on the charge of felony. The case will be appealed to the su preme court. The two young men shot at Rock- ville a short time ago by deputy marshal Pryor, are reported to be getting along all right. The where abouts of young Pryor who did the shooting is not known. If he was justifiable in what he did he should not have run off. Many of the farmers in this coun” ty have takem advantage of the fine weather to break ground for spring work. The land is loose and plows easily. It will be a great help in early planting in the spring and Bates ought to raise a bigger crop than ever the coming season. That slight cold, of which you think so little, may lead to serious trouble with the lungs. Avoid this result by taking Ayers Cherry Pectoral, the best known remedy for colds, coughs, catarrh, bronchitis, incipient consumption, and all other throat and lung diseases. The ladies of the Catholic church at Rich Hill,we see from the Review, surprised Father O'Reilly the other day handsomely, and his larder would hardly hold the good things which they brought. The good Priest was so overcome it was sever- al minutes before he recovered suffi- cient to return his thanks. “York” has gone to Leavenworth to enlist in the regular army. He was a nuisance on the streets of Butler and no regrets are expressed at his leaving. The town would have no regrets if two or three other boys of his ilk would take their departure in like manner. Chicago had a million dollar fire Monday night. The fire broke out in the world’s fair buildings and brought destruction to several build ings among which was the Casino, Peristyle and Liberal Arts building. A large amount of exhibits that had not yet been removed were burned and several firemen were killed and injured in Sighting the flames. } J. B.

Elder Lot sreich is assisting Elder Sbrout. and those who attend are being treated to most excellent sermons Attend the meetings. J.J. Requa, representative of Ver-| non county, died at his home in Deerfield township of brights dire} ease, Saturday moruing. He had been ailing for sometiwe but only took to his bed the morning before his demise, and bis death was wholly unexpected. He was 42 years of age | F. M. Trimble avd family, who have been in Las Vegas, N M for the last year ou account of Mr T.'s health, returned to Butler jast week. His very many friends in Bates county will be sorry to learn that Mr. Trimbls’s health is not much improved) We welcome him bank and trust that winter spent in this climate will prove beneficial. The bar of Kansas City met Sat urday and decided to recommend R. E. Ball to succeed Judge Gibson ov the circuit bench of Jackson county Judge Gibson resigned several weeks ago to form a partnership in the practice of law with Wm. Warner The office is worth $2,500 a year and it is not often a man will resign 80 good a place. A protracted meeting will be be gunat the Cumberland Presbyterian church Monday aight. Rev. Blair will be assisted in conducting the meetiugs by Rev. J. H Thorp, a distinguished divine of Odessa, Mo Preparatory to the beginning of the meeting the pastor is holding a series of prayer meetings this week. A cordial invitation is extended the public to come cut Monday night and hear Rev. Thorp. Joe Meyer, the clothier, is adver- tising his stock of boys and chil- drens overcoats, mens, boys and childrens suits at cost before taking stock February 1st. If you need cheap clothing now is your time to get it. Joe Mever isa square deal- ing merchant and when he says cost he means just what he says. Call and investigate his prices and be convinced. We see from the Nevada Mail that a young man about 23 years of age, claiming to be from Bates county, while stupid from drink, lay across the railroad track near the depot in Nevada and came within an ace of being run over by a freight train. His condition was discovered a few moments before the train reached him and a couple of men pulled him off the track. He refused to give his name. This has been a hard year finan- cially and the Times favors unity of action on the part of the citizens of Butler for the best interests of thetown. All bickerings should be laid aside and every citizen should place his shoulder to the wheel to drive the carriage ahead. Butler is a good town, has a live set of busi ness men and there is no reason why we should not forge ahead ata rapid rate. Alltogether boys for ‘94 and lets make things boom. The papers will do their part. The water company is preparing to dam the Miami just below the power house. A force of men are now at work drilling the rock and dragging logs for the purpose. The dam will be about four feet high, and it is calculated will hold suffi ecient back water to meet all de- mands unless the drouth should be as extended as the present one. There is also talk of the company drilling eeveral wells in the neigh- borhood of the power house and hope to strike a flow of water. The Tras’ valued friend Ove Har- ris has gone to jointhe boomers in Oklahoma. He shipped his house hold effects, farm implements, ete., Tuesday and his estimable family will follow in a few days. We were truly sorry to see him leave and feel that Bates has lost one of her best fami- lies. Mr. Harris secured a good claim in county K at the opening of the strip and goes to improve it and make that place his future home The Truss wishes him all the success that he could ask for himself. In his going Bates county loses one of her best and truest democrats. Rev. A. B. Francisco, of Harrison ville, lectured on religious matters at the court house Tuesday night to a fair audience. J. W. Ashbaugh, of West Boore township, found a large sized pock- et vook contaiuing some valuable papers, uear Merwin. The owner can bave same by calling on Mr Asbbaugh aud proving his property The grocery house of Wm. Lyle: & Co at Arrow Roch was entered by burglars Tuesday night and the safe was blown open and $40 in money upd notes to the value of $4,000 was taken. The Southern Methodist congre- gation will occupy their new churcl: uext Sunday A protracted meeting will be inaugurated at that time b the pastor Rev. Robb, and will b continued on through the week and possibly longer All are invited t attend During the past year sixty five railroads have passed into the hand of receivers. This is not a favorable wgu that the government should own these thoroughfares as the populists insist. A railroad that doer not pay expenses when operated by private corporations would certain], be a burden on the tax payers if placed under government control. The stockholders of the Missouri State Bank held their annual meet ing in the directors’ room of the bauk building Tuesday. The presi dent’s report showed the bank to be in splendid condition aud the stock holders expressed themselves as be iug well pleased with the mavage ment of the affairs of the institution the past year. After attending to routine business the following of ficers and directors for the ensuing year were elected: W. E. Walton, president; J. R. Jenkins, cashier; Booker Powell, vice-president; Frank Allen, secretary. Directors: Jobn Deerwester, T. C. Boulware, C. H Dutcher, J. R Jenkins, Geo. L. Smith, C. R. Radford, Booker Pow ell, H. H. Pigott, F. M. Voris, Wm. E. Walton, H. C. Wyatt, R. G. West and T. J. Wright. The popular dry goods firm of Lane & Adair, next door to the Farmers Bank, are offering some bargains this week and if you don’t take advantage of this slaughter sale of goods you will miss the op- portunity of your life to buy dress goods cheaper than they have ever been sold in Butler. They desire to make a general clean up of their stock before taking stock and have determined to let prices cut no fig- ure in getting rid of their splendid line of goods. During the sale one dollar will go nearly as far as two dollars heretofore. There is no de- ception in their large advertisement on another page. Lane & Adair are merchants who intend to remain in business in Butler and they could not afford to deceive the people. Call at their store, invegtigate their prices and you will find the best and cheapest line of merchandise ever exhibited in Butler. The war between the official board and members of the Christian church of Nevada in regard to the changes in the rules of the church promulga ted a short time ago by the official board, prohibiting the members from attending card parties, saloons and other places of amusement has caused a reply to eminate from the members who take exceptions to the the ruling and it the matter is not patched up the church promises to go to peices. The fight is between the members and the board aad neither side according to the Mail have the slightest idea of giving in The christian church is one of the strongest religieus Sorganizations in Nevada and the entanglement of its members at the present is to be de plored as no good ever came from a eburch dispute or discensions. The trouble should be arbitrated and settled and the church organization} held together The Advertising Of Hood's Sareaparilla is always within the bounds of reason because it is true; it always agpeals to the sober, common sense of thinking people because it is always fully without 2 moment's hesitation.

Next week three protracted meet ings will be in vogue in this city They will be held at the Christian vbureh, C. P. chureh and the South Methodist. The Times is glad to see the churches waking up and hopes hey will meet with grand success in saving sinners. There is plenty of oom in this town for missionary work and if the members will do their duty, there is no reason why there should not be a great and glorious revival such a one as was never heard of before. One day last week J. West Good- win, editor of the Bazoo, criticised n pretty plain language Mlle. Mora’s Burlesque Co., which showed in Woods’ opera house S-dalia. The ext morning two women and a map belonging to the troupe called at he Bazoo office and proceeded to chastise editor Goodwin with buggy whips. The boys in the office came to his assistance and the would be assailants were pretty roughly hand led and promptly kicked out_of the office. Dr. Wood, manager Cf the opera house, also took offense at the writeup the Bazoo gave the troupe and coming up behind Mr. Goodwin on the street without warning knock ed him down with a club. If the show is as indecent, vulgar and dis reputable as other papers make it out, the Bazoo is to. be commended for its assault on the company and Dr. Wood should have no sym pathy from the public in upholding the troupe by his attack on the Ba zoo man. A play unfit for ladies to witness shou!d not be tolerated in any well regulated opera house in the state. Give it to ‘em Bazoo. Captured Them. Warren Raymond and Mrs. Jennie Wheeler, indicted at the last term of court on the charge of entering the premises of Mr. Dugan, near Virgin ia several months ago and taking from his emoke house a quantity of lard, meat and flour, and who jump- ed their bonds, were returned to Bates county Saturday and placed in jail. The couple were located ty sheriff Colyer, in Laclede county. « fow days ago and their arrest follow- ed. Sheriff Colyer has been on their track for some time and had the Jo cation of the woman, but waited to catch her paramour, who he felt con- fident was not far from her. In this be was not deceived as Raymond fin ally showed up, at her house, and the officers of Laclede county who were on the watch took them in. | Look tur The a. The Times gives it readers warn ing to keep a sharp lookout for tramp, wholesale grocery pedlers. No legitimate wholesale firm that pre'ends to do the square thing would be guilty of sending tramp ageats into the counties of this atite to sell the dear farmers grocer- ies at a cheaper rate than they can buy from home merchants, with: ut ; being a cheat and dec-ption and the farmer that buys from these oily tongued fellows will find out to their sorrow that they have been most beautifully and neatly done up. Some body must pay the tramp to :un round and sell these goods, and it is presumed it is not the business of the wholesale firm to look after their health or welfare. In such contin- gences Jones must pay the friegbt, therefore, we say again, farmers te on your guurd and turn the dos loose. Incase you buy and yet fleeced don’t blame the administia- tion, or the mortgage holder. T:ke your medicine and promise yourse f you will not bite aguin until the next sharper comes sarouud, A ball was given at Butler one evening laat week and $102 net were taken in for the Higyiuville Confed- erste home The peuple of Butler and surrounding towns deserve the highest praise. The purse was a happy New Year rememberance or the old warriors The above paragraph is cliped from the- Sedalia Bazoo, and for once this usually reliable paper hes got the towns mixed. There his b-en no ball in Butler for the be1¢- fit of the home or even amuseme..t that we know of inthe past three years. We have quit dancing here,we areall members of the church. The ball must have taken place at Neva- da, as the preachers down there are raising sheol with their members for dancing and looking about the billiard halls and bar rooms. What is Eczema? It is an agony of agonies. A torture of tortures. It is an itching and burning of the skin almost beyond endurance. It is thousands of pin-headed ves icles filled with an acrid fluid, ever forming, ever bursting, ever flowing upon the raw excoriated skin. No part of the human skin is exempt. It tortures, disfigures and humil- iates more than all other skin diseases combined. Tender babies are among its most fumerous victims. They are often born with it.
