The burglar was getting into the house through a kitchen window when detected by Mr. Badgely who was awakened by the noise made in removing the wire screen. Cattle, hogs, corn, oats, hay, chick. ens, eggs and butter are bringing a good price, and with the prospects for the finest crops ever grown in Bates county. Stop talking hard times, and let us all pull together for the common good of alland pros- perity of the county. Arguing the strike question the other day on the streets, a sympa thizer said he didn’t care to place himself in front of monopolies and bullets. The same individual might have added he didn’t care to place . himself in front of work either. The city council of Nevada at its last meeting reduced the saloon license from $1,000 to $800. Neva da has eight or ten saloons and the town derives most of its revenue from that source. The saloon men asked the reduction on account of hard times with them. Prof. N. E. Stephenson, one of the Tres’ best friends and subscribers, called Friday and renewed He is here visiting his parents who live near Reynard. In about three weeks he will leave for Clay county to at tend the meeting of the teacher's institute, after which he will take charge of his school near Converse. Prof. Stephenson is one of the effici- ent teachers of this state and his services commands the best salary to be had. The Tives wishes him well. Mrs. Daniel, wife of Uncle Jobn Daniel, living south cf the city four or five miles, we learn from Dr. Boulware, is quite sick. Her ailment seems to be a general giving away of the system. Owing to her advanc- ed age the doctor has doubts as to ber recovery. Squire D. G. Newsom and son Brick go to Kansas City this week. Both expect to get on the railroad. The equire would like a job of pull- ing the throttle of an engine and Brick would not object 4o heaving coal in the fire box. Later we learn that Mr. Newsom and Brick got runs out of Kansas City to Omaba on the Missouri Pacific. A man named Hilsabeck, has been arrested at Nevada on the serious charge of criminal assault on the 14- year old daughter of J. R. Rohr- bough. The honor of the child was saved by the timely arrival of three men who happened to be passing at the time the scoundrel was attemp- ting to commit the deed. While the strike is in progress don’t forget the fact that the Pull mans, the real cause of the present trouble, are staunch republicans,and direct beneficiaries of the McKinley tariff and republican legislation for monopolists. To intimidate demo crats from voting to reduce the tariff on which they have grown fat and rich they reduced wages and then shut down their works. The strike was the result. As between the Pullmans and its employees the people would be with the laboring men. But through their president Debs, the war was carried too far when the attempt was made to in clude the railroad companies with whom the laboring man had no grievance, and for their defeat and loss of sympathy with the people Debs must stand the blame, when the incendiary fires are extinguished and the strike is ended. The destruction of railroad prop- erty by the rioters and thugs is esti- mated to be over a million and half dollars. Acres of freight cars have been burned in Chicago, and miles of track damged by heat of the burning cars. The Pemnsylvannia road alone has lost 667 freight cars, by fire hundreds of them being load- ed with merchandise. To the credit of Butler and the county at large itis with both pride and pleasure we record the fact,that there was not, to our knowledge, a drunk man on the streets or picnic grounds on the 4th, nor was there a disturbance of any kind or accident For a vast assemblage of people it was the most orderly and best be- haved of any gathering that has ever taken place in this city. Every- vody was in good humor and it was pleasure and not trouble they were hunting. Delegates. The following delegates selected at the court house Saturday evening will represent Mt Pleasant town- ship in the county convention to be held at Rich Hill Saturday: I. N. Mains, J. S. Francisco, J.

All of the speakers fayored paying the city’s indebtedness,including the water and light contracts, with the execption of Atkeson, who argued in fayor of repudiation. Owing to the fact that sufficient revenue could not be raised on a 50c levy the speakers took the ground that the only manner in which the deficiency could be raised was by imposing an occupation tax. After a full discussion of the mat- ter, a motion offered by Mr. Jackson to refer the entire matter of raising the revenue by occupation tax or oth- erwise back to the city council was carried and the meeting adjourned, the understanding being that the council would consult with the busi- ness men and that an occupation tax adjusted to meet the demands will be the final solution of the problem.
