Mrs. Win Hickman left Saturday evening for Pennsylvania, to spend & week or so visiting her parents. The city council of Springfield have passed an ordinance charging dealers in cigarettes $250 a year for license. Senator Cockrell announces his purpose to return home at an early date and take an active part in the campaign in this state. The Democratic Press Association will hold its mext meeting at Leba non, Mo., Sept. 20 to 28, inclusive. The association now has over one hundred members. Three Nevada bloods came to But- ler Sunday on their wheels. They said they left Nevada at 6 oclock and arrived in Butler at 11. They start- ed for home after the dinner hour. W. J. Hutchinson, of Warrens- burg, who spent Saturday in the city, says at least ten thousand peo- ple were present at the opening of the democratic campaign for the state at Pertle Springs last week. The American girl that married the Chinaman in Kansas City last week, is just about as well as the Ameriean girl that marries the titled European suob. Of the two the Chinaman is the best show fora} bridge, and died from the injuries living. | { was something strange and startling Mo., where he was engaged in the mere..atile business. He had boen afflicted with heart disease for sever- si years and came up to Eldorado Springs for the benefit of his health, where suddenly he succumbed to his ailment. Mr. Walton took the 2 o'clock train and attended the fu- neral, which took place at Spring- field. Hutchinson and McBride have sold the Warrensburg Journal-Democrat plant to Henry A Peed, who took charge of the paper last week. The Journal Democrat is one of the oldest and best paying country papers in the state, and under the management of Hutchisson and McBride prosper- ed as it had never prospered before. Both were young men,full of energy and ambitieus, and they made the J.D. a live and interesting sheet. The new preprietor is an old hand at the business and the J-D. will lose none of its prestige by the change. The Democratic congressional committee after figuring out the sit- uation, announces to the country that the democrats are in no danger of los- ing the next house of representatives. They now have 218 members. Of these a loss 40 could bs susta ined and still leave a majority. The south, including Delaware, has 120 democratic members. A like num- ber is expected to be elected at the coming election; then it will require only 59 from the rest of the country to make a good democratic majority. “Putting the democratic estimates as & mipium, the committee says “ Now York is likely to elect sixteen Democrats, New Jersey four; Penn- sylvania eight; Illineis, ten: Indiana eight; Ohio, five; Wisconsin, five and California 3.

The little visitor arrived on the 4th inst. and father and mother are as happy as it is possible for parents to be. The Tres extends congratulations. W. W. Graves left Monday even- ing for Clinton, where he expects to spend several days in attendance on circuit court and looking after a number of cases in which he is in- terested. From there he goes to Harrisonville to look after his cases in the Cass court. Judge DeArmond will speak at Burdett, Saturday. The Globe-Democrat takes great consolation in the fact that Vermont has gone republican. Just like that to the country. In the state election in Arkansas last week the official returns show the populist failed to carry a single county in the state. The Kansas City Times says sugar bas made no advance at wholesale since the enactment of the tariff law. The slight increase in price it as- serts made by the retailers was on account of increased demand occa sioned by the fruit season. The people quickly recognize merit, and this is the reason the sales of Hood’s Sarsaparilla are continually increasing. Hood's is ‘on top.” During the storm Wednesday night of last week, it is reported lightning struck a hay shed on the farm of Capt. Donnohue and burn- ed up about sixty tons of hay. “Robert J.” is now king as a pacer in harness. Thursday he made his mile on the track at Indianapolis, Ind,in 2:24. Ten thousand people wit- nessed the race between Robert J. and Joe Patchen for a purse of $5,000. The race was a close one but all three heats were won by the wonderful little horse. The Kansas City Times opposes the renomination of congressman Tarsney and warns the party that his nomination will mean defeat and the election of a republican. It: is officially announced that Col. Charles H. Jones, late of the St. Louis Repuclic and later of the New York World, will return to St. Louis and taks editorial charge of the Post Dispatch. Stephen E. Cavey, a wealthy citi- zen living near St. Joseph, being threatened by white caps for failure to provide for his family, converted all the property he could into money, mortgaged hie real estate, and tak- ing his youngest son lit out for parts unknown.

He is what is known as the “labor agitator,” the worst enemy the true laboring man has. The state democratic campaign was opened at Warrensburg, Thurs- | day aud Friday of last week. David | Overmeyer, democratic candidate for | governor of Kansas, R. P. Bland, Champ Clark, Judge Gibson and David A. DeArmond were present and made speeches. The Globe- Democrat devotes over a page to the | proceedings, yet it has the cheek to |say the meeting was a failure in point of numbers and not more than four hundred persons were presert to hear these distinguished orators. The Globe Democrat,usually fair and truthful, some times gets laughably ridiculous in reporting democratic gatherings. The Times office was honored the other day by a call from J. W. Speers, of Spruce township, accompanied by his father-in-law Maj. John Tillery, a distinguished citizen and wealthy farmer of Moniteau county, Mo. Mr. Tillery is here on a visit, but in looking about he was so well pleased with the county he has about made up his mind to return and dispose of his possessions in Moniteau and return to Bates to reside.He said the drouth in hie county this summer was quite severe; oate, wheat and grass had made a fair crop. Corn,the main stay, was almost a total failure. Mr. Tillery is a polished gentleman, an old school democrat, and the Times would be pleased to learn that he had determined to make Bates county his future home. We have plenty of room here for such citizens. The Great and Booming Tiuzs moves along in the even tenor of its way; has twice the circulation of any paperin Bates, and as for its advertising patronage, that speaks for itself. We are aware that the business management of the Times, its success and influence, is envied by the Union, which loses no oppor- tunity to assail the Times and its editor. The stockholders, in their numerous changes of editors, seem to have had this one idea in view in manning the little craft. In their last venture for « pilot they mis- took hair and whiskers for brains, and jaw labor for business sagacity. The result is even plain toa blind man, the populist candidates have been forced to start a paper at Rich Hill, and the Union is deserted and left to die of slow starvation.

The uni- versal testimony given by those who have used Hood's Sarsaparilla, as to its merits in restoring the appetite, and as a purifier of the blood, con- stitutes the strongest recommenda- tien that can be urged for any medi- cine.

Before making your purchases it will be to your izterest and a saving to your pocket book to call at this establish- ment. Don’t miss a good thing. Peculiar to Itself. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is peculiar to itself, in three important particulars, viz: first, in the combination of remedial agents used; second, in the proportion in which they are mixed; third, in the process by which the active curative properties of the preparation are secured. These three important points make Hood's Sar- saparilla peculiar in its medicinal merit, as it accomplishes cures hitherto unknewn. But it is not what we say but what Hood’s Sareaparilla does, that tells the story. What Hoed’s Sar- saparilla has done for others is reason fer confidence that it is the medicine for you. Prind.
