Lucky Butler!—Clinton Demo rat. Mr. Wm. Ludwick and daughter Miss Frances gave the Times a pleas ant call Tuesday, and Mr. Ludwick had his name enrolled on our sub scription book. Its hard to please the wealthy people of New York. No legislation yet offered seems to please them, they opposed the silver and now are fighting the tariff bill and income tax. As Mr. Breckinridge and Miss Pollard used to make lecturing tours together, why can't they do it now? Advertised as a man and woman of pession they would draw as well as the famous Kentuckian in a game of poker.— Republic. Spring is full of terrors to all whose constitution is not able to re- sist the sudden changes of tempera ture and other insalubrities of the season. To put the system in con- dition to overcome these evils, noth- ing is so effective as Ayer’s Sarsapse rilla. Take it now. Two thousand people waited two hours at Parsons, Kan., to see a manu jump from the top of a 120 foot tower into six feet of water. A stranger had promised to make the jump for $100. In consequence a tower was erected, a lake formed and $75 of the money subscribed ard turned over to the jumper who pock- eted the cash and jumped the town. —Nevada Mail.

W Drummond in this issue, something special “just landed.” 17tf Ferd Stable. Go to J. H. Sisson’s feed stable. Just as cheap as the feed yard. Here in a word is the whole meat of the tariff question: If the tariff raises the price of goods made in this country it comes out of the con sumer. If it does not raise prices, then it is non protective and useless. The Coxey army business is get ting to be a worse bore in the news papers than the Breckinridge-Pol's ard trial. Were it not for the sen- Leasing Land. Judge Reese, spent Tuesday in the city.. He reports the oil boom on in his section and agents of the oil companies busy taking options on land. The judge said the oil men were working their way in the direc- tion of Butler and Tuesday were taking options in the neighborhood of Nyhart. In their contract they agree to prospect the leased Jand within two years, and in many in- stances the agreement is to begin work in nine to twelve months. There are two oi! companies at work securing options. The Standard oil and Troy. The companies have also leased about 35,000 acres of Jand in Vernon county. The cost attached to the leasing of land alone iu Ver nou,county,says.the Mail,at afconser vative estimate will agregate $3,000. According to this eetimate the leases {u this county will exceed the Vernon county estimate by several hundred dollars. These companies are also working in Kansas. They must have some assurance of success in the dis covery of o:l or they would not be iucurring the expense they are at. The Standard Oil Company is one of the wealthiest corporations in the United States and if they succeed in striking oil in paying quantities Bates county will become a second Pennsylvania inside of five years and land will soon go to figures sational newspaper reports the Coxey contingent would have frizzled out long before this. Saturday evening Dr. T.C Boul ware, of this city, was called in con- sultation with Dr. L. R. Robinson, of Merwin, to see Mrs. Geo. Boyer, who lies dangerously ill at her home two miles north of Amsterdam. Dr. Bou!ware reports he found the lady suffering from a complication of dis eases, and he considered her case yery critical indeed. She has been sick for the past two or three weeke, and for several days has been in an unconscious condition C. P. Catron & Co. will buy court cost and loan money in small amounts on good chattel securities. 12 tf. The populists of Bates county are “figuring” on electing their entire ticket this fall. They are figuring that 500 disgvsted demcerats will “stay at home,” and that they will po'l 500 republican votes. That fig- ures out very nicely on paper and the first part of the proposition is probably trie, but we predict that every man who ever voted the re publican ticket will return to his first love—and they're comin’ a run nin’—R. H. Tribune The Dakotas are asking congress to assist them in exterminating Ruse sian thistle. Massachusetts wants $100,000 to exterminate the gypsy moth. We want an appropriation in South- west Missouri. If this is a paternal government, we don't de- sire to be missed either at roll call or at the pie counter. Will congress make an approiation to help the farmers keep the smut off the wheat, | the wheat from turning to cheat, the ergot from the rye, the cutworms from tbe cabbage andcorn? Let us all share alike.-—Lamar Democrat. The Globe Democrat is warning the party that the republicans will have no walk over in the coming congres sional campaign and warns the party that no mistakes must be made in nominating men and every voter be brought to the polls. The Globe Democrat has long since quit count- ing chickens before they hatch and having run up against the democrat ic party before is aware of the uncer- tainty of rash guessing. Therefore it warns the party to steer clear of the populists and be careful of their Farmer's of Bates County. Remember that C.F. Pharis is now fully prepared to take poultry. eggs and butter in exchange for dry above the reach of ordinary farm- ers There is one thing the mayor and council should do without delay,and that is to devise means to meet the accunulating indebtedness of the city. By July the counci! will be called on to settle several large bills, and the question, with a depleted treasury,where is the money to come from? The Tives desires to see the city flourish and hopes the mayor aud council will find a way to liqui- date these debts without increasing taxation. Butthere is one thing certain the present revenue will not be adequate to meet the city’s obli- gations by several hundred dollare, Men elected by the people to transact the business affairs of the town should not wait until pay day to make arrangements to meet ac- eruing debts. | 1 z 1 1 1 The booming Times treats them y all alike, when it comes to circul:- 6 tion, doubles all competitors. This |6 week we add to our increasing cir-|1 culation the following new names: Jas. Sheeley, J. M. Hatisock, A. D Mills, H. A. Harrison, C. C. Cum- mins, J. P. Reeder, H. Poindexter, C H. Cheatham, J L_ Dickerson, W. iH. Ficklic, F. M. Patrick, Nick F. Strobel, Henry J. Kuntz, G. W. Chandler, Z. T. Pelley, J. R. Pfost, W. S. Thompson, Dr. Sherman Mil- ler, D. G. Strang, Jesse Kearns. The above are farmers aud as good men as cau be found in Bates county. We know it gives our competitors the blind staggers almost to read the names of the new subscribers which the booming Ties is adding each week to its books, but then the people will read a first-class county paper and to get the best they all take the booming Times. Just so|: with the merchants when they want | to reach the people with special bar | gains they come to the Tives to place their advertisements. 1 3 3 4 4 4 1 2 Inconsistent.
