Louis Hammerslaugh, formerly editor of the Kansas City Globe, now representing the Midland Print ing Ink Works of that city, was in Butler Friday. Mr. H said in form- er years he was in the clothing busi ness in Kansas City and passed through this town on an advertising expedition in 1857. He rode a pony and pasted the trees along his ronte to Ft. Scott with bills. He said his advertising account ranged from ten to eleven thousand dollars a year and he always considered that it paid him to keep his business before the public. At the time he was in business the advertising rates of the Star was $1.40 an inch on the last page, and $240 a line for ad- vertising on the front page of that paper, The following letter explains it self aud though private in its nature ig compliment: Rocuesrsr, Cau, Fes 26, 1894.

Long, of Lo-e Oak | township, by his son George, Thurs | day night of last week, is oue of the ; most desperate and diabolical crimi nal acts ever perpetrated in this |county. The act was not only wanton, | malicious and cowardly in its nature, \from the prisoner's own statement, but villainous and uncalled for in the least degree, and the degenerate son has no grounds or excuse upon which to ask the slightest degree of sympathy from this community. It was in the early evening when Mr. Long was shot. He was sitting with his back near the window reading and without the slightest warning his erring boy stole up to the house and putting the muzzle of of his gun uear the window fired through a broken pane of glass, the eutire ; charge taking effect in the back of the head and neck. Neighbors soon gathered in and the actions of George led them to believe that be was the guilty party and they accordingly held him and notified Sheriff Colyer, who seni. deputy Joe T. Smith to make the arrest, On the way to town the officer questioned the prisoner ia regard to the matter, but he stubboruly denied his guilt and said he “would not have shot the old man for twenty- five dollars.” Saturdav, however, he wilted and came to California. Please continue it indefinitely aud I will try to send you the money at least once a year. My family are all well, and we have no particular reason to complain of the way the world hae used us lately. W. B. Ewixa. Prairie City Items.

We were entertained, untila late hour, with instrumental music, consisting of organ, guitar. violin and french harp by Atwell of Rich Hill and Ira Stillwell, all enjoyed themselves, im- mensly. We were shocked when we read in the Times last week of the killing of Chas. F. Moore by Chas. H. Harlin. We have known Mr. Harlin and fam- ily from our infancy and know Mr. Harlin to be a very high tempered man, but never suspected him of be- ing guilty of sucha dastardly deed. to deputies Smith and Earl Steele he made substantially the following statement of his connection with the affair: “After shooting father [ took my gun and hid it iu the woods about a quarter of a mile from the house. Then I returned, and on entering the house found father lying on the floor face downward. I raised him up and asked bim what was the mat- ter. Father said he thought he had heard the report of a gun and some- body had shot him or the lamp had exploded, and told me to go and tell the neighbors. I went after Dr. Lee and also notified some of the neighbors. The gun I shot father with was one that I got from a neighbor on Monday, a young man by the name of Lacource being with me. We came back together as far as the creek and parted, Lacource going home, I hid the gun in the woods Thursday evening my brother left home to remain over night with a neighbor, and after he left I went jand got the gun and shot father.” When asked vy the officer whet prompted him to shoot his father We sympathize with his family in their bereavement, Quite a number from Rockville at-/ tended church Sunday. | Smiley and Miss Virgie Evans ville were around Saturday | soliciting for their pastor Rev.

I am afraid ‘the people would hang me and | I would rather go to the penitentiary for two years than to go back down there.” He claimed that William Lacource, who who was with him when he got the gun, knew nothing of Lis inten tions to shoot his father. Monday however, he reversed himself, and now claims that Lacource plauned the shooting. Knew all about it and was as guilty as himself except that he did not pull the trigger. Lacource was arrested Monday as an accomplice and placed in jail.

Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: “Gentlemen: It gives me pleasure to certify to the efficacy of Hood's Sarsaparilla in the case of my father, who has suffered for years with Heart Disease and Catarrh in the head. The former grew worse every day, and especially at night time. When he would lie down a curious feeling would rise around his heart and his pulse would stop beat- ing for seconds. He could breathe well, but all the air he could inhale did not seem to relieve him. He would have to get up out of bed and stir round until it wore off. We became alarmed, and our friends said he would not live a year. The family physician prescribed several reme- die., but all tono avail. Finally a physician ad- vised him to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. He did so, and before he had taken one bottle realized that it was helping him. He has taken over four bottles now, and is not bothered any more with heart spells. He can sleep sound as a baby. He does not have any more trouble with the catarrh, and Is Himself Once More. He is 53 years old, and can do as much work tp a day as any man of his age, since using Hood's Sarsaparilla. You are at liberty to publish this Hood’s*Cures for the benefit of suffering humanity, for we can recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla to be al and more than is claimed for it.” Miss ANNIE WHEELER, Rondo, Missouri.
