Car- roll and W. T. Meglassen, have been employed by the populist party to stump the county.

The Populist Senators voting with |the Republicaus on the sugar ques-! law passed by congress simplifying tion has lost that party over 30 votes inthis township alone—Rich Hill Review. When the coal miners strike was jon at Rich Hill and the distress of \the miners forced them to send so0- liciting committees about the coun- try, a delegation was sent to Butler. They visited the leaders of the pop- ulist party of this city and out of their generosity of heart for the laboring classes, these populist leaders contributed the enormous sum of 40 cents.

Miss Jennie Donavan, teacher of the Patty school northeast of town, and who has been quite sick with fever the past week, was very for- tunate in securing the services of Miss Carrie Harman, as a substitute during her illness. Miss Harman has had several years experience in the school room, and ranks with the high grade teachers of this county. This year Miss Harman has secured the Double Branch school which will open Monday, and the Ties congratulates the directors of this district in securing her services as the patrons will find no mistake has been made in the selection of a teacher for that district. The services at the tent Thursday night were brought to a sudden close by a threating storm which for afew minutes acted as though the tent would be lifted from its moor- pleased that they were fortunate in securiag her services again. A petition requesting that the sale of cigarettes be prohibited in the city of Butler will be presented to the city council at its next meeting. The petition was carried by a couple of Butler's christian ladies and was numerously signed. The Times has been hammering away at this cigar- ette, business for some time and we are pleased to know that the ladies have taken the course they have to pat a stop to the business in the tewn. Injustice to the boys the council ought not to hesitate to paes an ordinance as requested. A dispatch from Clinton published in Sunday's Kansas City Times says Joseph Settles has sworn out a war- rant for the arrest of Squire G. S. Ellis, charging bim with criminally assaulting hie (Settles’) 13-year old daughter. Squire Ellis is 76 years of age, has held the office of Justice of the Peace in Clinton for the past twenty years, which has been given him by common consent asa pen sion, owing to his helpless condition from the effects of rheumatism. The writer has known Squire Elhs for twenty five years, and we don't be heve the allegation.

There was an immense crowd present and when dismissed a gener- al stampede took place. The night was very dark and the people com- ing from the bright light from under the tent were blinded when they emerged into the open air and had to grope their way as best they could, and for a few minutes all was pandemonium A number of vehicles were hitched in the street, among which was the fine ‘carriage of Thos. | J.

But it won’t wash down. The republicans are in this fight on the merits of the men they have nominated. ‘Tis true a large number of democrats, who can no longer vote for the candidates |of the party that has so flagrantly misrepresented their interest, have pledged themselves to support the republican nominees. But we will give a good sized premium for any republican who has pledged himself to vote fer any of the democratic candidates this year.
