The thief after slashing two of his captors with a razor,made his escape but was re captured, so we are told. Henry Jones, colored; was tried in Squire Hemstreet's court. Monday, and given sixty days in jail on the charge of having brutally whipped his daughter, and the marks on the girl’s arms and body fully attested the truth of the charge in the war- rant. Henry seems to be an over- bearing and brutal father, and this is not the first time he has been arrested and punished for abusing his family. Instead of a jail sentence a good sized rock pile would be the proper place to land auch fellows. The $500 piano offered by the Kansas City World to the most popular lady school teacher in Kan- sas City was won by Mrs. Fannie Crockett. The contest for the own- ership of this handsome instrument was settled by ballot asd Mrs. Crockett received over seventy thousand votes. Mrs. Crockett formerly lived and taught school in this city and her many friends in Butler will be truly glad to hear of her popularity in the schools of the city and also Of her success in secur- the above prize. The county court having asked us to procure diseased chinch bugs and distribute same among farmers want- ing them, we find that it will be nec- essary to send to the Secretary of Agriculture a supply of bugs to be infected, and that he will return them to us for distribution. Any person desiring infected bugs and who will furnish us with a supply to send to the Secretary,can obtain dis- eased bugs free of cost. James DrrspaLe J~o. C.

They adopted this course at their own vo- | lition and without a grievance. The coal company had employment for all and desired their men to con- tinue at work, but ill advisers gain- ed their ear and through sympathy for their fellow workmen in other localities they were over-persuaded and row between 800 and 1,00 men are loafing in Rich Hill and vicinity. For this condition of affairs in this county the coal companies are not to blame and should the operators of these mines see proper in the future | to secure workmen from other sece tions of the country as they have done heretofore, to operate their mines, these men who have volunta- | rily laid down their tools have no| right to enter a protest. It’s their own fault they are out of work and if the companies see fit to dislodge | them from their homes and put in | new shifts of men the consequence of the result of such action must rest upon the shoulders of those | | thing.

Powders and medicines were useless and I was discouraged. I had read com siderable about the good being done by Hood's Sarsaparilla and decided to give it atrial. I had not taken more than one bottle before I began to feel the benefit it was bestowing upon me. After taking two bottles my expectations were realized.
