The township Sunday school con- vention and picnic, held Saturday in the grove,near the residence of J. B. Newberry, was largely attended and the day was pleasantly and _profita- ly spent. Good talks were made by several gentlemen present, and the singing was excellent. Misses Ida and Mary Kennett, of Carthage, are spending a few day in the city visiting friends.

Tygard informs us that he was not present at the political cau- cus said to have been held in Kan- sas City last week. Further he says that he was not invited to any such conference, was not in Kansas City the day it was held and that he nev- er heard of it until he saw the re- port in the Star The Tivzs was complimented Monday by a call from Mr. B. John- son, of Elma, Iowa, editor of the News of that city He was accom panied by his niece, Miss Etta Fox, of this city, at whose home Mr. Johnson is spending a few days on a visit. He said crops were good in Iowa with the exception of corn, which it was thought, would not yield over half a crop. Mike Curry, road master on the Emporia railroad, informs us that the farmers are in a distressed con- dition in Western Kansas. That part of the state west of LeRoy he said is totally dried up and there is not a green thing visible. Many of the farmers made no provisions for the drouth of this year and the way matters now stand for the poorer classes is bad to contemplate. Prof. McC. Martin, for the past four years principal of the Butler Academy, and who resigned his stewardship of that institution a short time ago, called at the Trams Mrs. E. M.

' The Women’s Christian Temper- | ance Union, of Sedalia, have trken | the preliminary steps to suppress | the sale of cigarettes in that city. Ata meeting of the Union the other day, it was decided tc petition the city council of Sedalia to increase the license to such a figure as to prohibit the sale of cigarettes in the town. For taking this step all honor is due these good women in their efforts to suppress this growing evil which is wrecking the minds and injuring the health of so many boys. We might ask the ladies of Butler to adopt asimilar plan to rid this | city of the evil, were it not for the fact | that our citizen city council seems to | consider their enly duty to the town | is to allow their salaries and an oc- | casional warrant to the street com-| missioner and marshal. The populist candidates are so) greedy they will not even allow a) national holiday to pass without turning the day into a populist hoo-| doc. So labor day, Monday, Sept. | 3d,is to be given up to populist can- didates and the day will be desecrat- { ed at Rich Hill, with fiery oratory in | denunciation of the administration | and the best government the sun ever shown upon. The intention of | the present congress in creating this the 3d day of Sept. as a nation al holiday, was to give the laboring mena day of rest and recreation | and to spend with their families. It | was not intended that candidates of any political party should disgrace and desecrate the day by turning it into a political broil for the purpose | of giving this or that party a chance | to electioneer those who attend. Sun- | day is alsoa legal holiday made se | by constitution and with the same | secured by propriety these populist candidates could disregard the day and the Special Sale of Boys Long Panis Worth $1 and $1.25 at i 75 cts Just the thing for School Wear.

Aus, you are a queer genius. | Almost A Jail Delivery, Since the occupancy of the new jail the sheriff, for humanity's sake, nas allowed the large number of | prisoners confined there the privi- lege of the corridor for exercise during the day time, locking them in the steel cages at night. When loose in the corridor the prisoners had the freedom of the entire room, { could go to the windows, which are iron bars and get the fresh air and look over the town. Ordinarily and without outside as | sistance or tools to work with, it would be almost impossible for pris- oners to make their escape without being detected. Last week the sheriff was gone from home on official business. On his return, although a vigilamt eye had beeu kept by these left in charge, his suspicions were aroused, by the actions of the prisoners in hanging their shirts against the grating in the windows and a slight remark made by one of them, that all was nct right and an investiga. tion followed. The prisoners were sent below and in the search of the room it was found that the bars in one of the windews had been cut off with saws and ina short time the whole gang would have gained their liberty. The sheriff then called in his deputies and a general search af the prisoners was instituted and a| saw or two, a case knife made into a | saw, and two or three pocket knives | were found. The prisoners, seven or eight in number, incarcerated for murder. burglary, forgery, etc., a tough lot | of citizens, were marched to their cells and locked up, the sheriff re- | marking to them as he threw the | be of advantage to the store.

To these and other friends he extends a cordial invitation to call and seehim at Lane & Adair’s, where he will take pleas- ure in showing them one of the finest lines of dry goods, boats, shoes and notions, to be seen in the county. The Ties will add, not only the finest stock, but the lowest prices ‘and best bargains. | W. P.

Wagner is a smart, | shrewd fellow and his plan of op- | eration was as villainous as it was | deceptive and according to the state- ments made by the parties whom he | fleeced,a grander rascal and liar |mever made atrack in Butler. As soon as the parties discovered that they had been defrauded, they com- municated with the company of which Wagner claimed to be agent | and were notified promptly that they | bad no connection with him what- ever.

Mr. Coleman is one of the sterling young farmers of that neigh- borhood and is a pleasant gentleman. and stated that it was their intention | to remain in this city this winter and in the spring go on a farm. The citizens of Nevada voted Sat- urday to bond the city for $10,000. The vote stood for the bonds 345, against 108. From the small vote cast it would seem the citizens took but little interest in the matter. We are sorry, but too long a si- lence compels us to ask what has become of our Summit correspond- ent? The Timxs misses your weekly budget of news. Mrs. J. W. Poffenbarger and little daughter, who have been spending several weeks in the city visiting her sister, Mrs. Joe Meyer, have taken their departure for their home in Illinois. Miss Alice Wemott, of Kansas City, daughter of T. T. Wemott, is visiting her brother Arthur. Miss Alice is a charming and handsome young’ lady, and the young gents of the city should see to it that her stay is a pleasant one. John Van Camp, G. W. Clardy, Frank LaFollett and S. W.S. Childs, committee on I. O. O. F. home, left Tuesday for Rich Hill to interview the members of the order and ethers in that city for donations. They will also visit other lodges in the county. paper to place he has accepted a chair in Park College. Prof. Martin was an able instructor,a christian gentleman and during his stay io our city,while at the head of the Academy, did much toward the up building of |that school. The Academy has never |had a more able instruetor and the town a more houorable citizen, and it is with the regrets of our people jhe and his estimable family take | their leave of our city, and the best | wishes of all will follow them. The populist speakers, M. V. Car- roll, Pierce Haekett, Capt. H.
