By way of introduction the Times hus no hesitauey in saying two more vivacious or handsome young men have not graced these positions ia half a century.

The ladies on the soliciting com- mittee for the Nebraska sufferers wet at the store of G B. Hickman on Saturday afternoon and divided the town for canvassing as follows: Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Keasling taking the first ward; Mrs. Pettys and Mrs Silvers, second ward; Mrs. E. P. Heury and Mrs. Holcomb, third ward; Mrs. Orear and Mrs. Renick, fourth ward. The ladies started on their mission Monday, and will make x thorough canvass of the city., The Ties would suggest that they also investigate and report the condition of the poor of this city. Reports from Macon City, Mo, say nearly every day additional infor mation is being received there in re- gard to the past doings of Judge D. P. Ballard, the Populist orator under arrest there for fraud. At Plainfield, Ills, it is alleged. he de livered a lecture or two before the Populist club iast winter, and work- ed two men one for $50 and the other $250, on worthless checks. At Lincoln, Neb., he ran a hotel bill in the name of Congressman McKeig- ban. In Idiana he is said to have obtained more money by shady deals. County clerk Jas. Drysdale be came a private citizen Monday, turning the office he has held for the past four years over to his suc cessor W. M. Crawford. During his tenure Mr. Drysdale made a good officer and at all times was clever and accommodating to those | who had business in his office. Mr. | Drysdale will remain in Butler for the present and take the world easy. The Times wishes him well and is glad to know that he and his family will continue to be citizens of our town. The waters are raging in some of the rivers in Pennsylvania. Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia and Ohio. The low lands are being flooded and great damage to farmers is the re sult. Also a number of towns along the streams are submerged and the people are fleeing for their lives The railroads are suffering, also, as bridges and track are being carried away by the floods. At last reports the streams were still rising and the flood promieed to equal or surpass that of 1889. when the damage done was almost a national calamity.

The council at its meetivg Mon jday night passed an ordinance im- posing an occupation tax on the business men of this city. This has been « vexed question for some time of the business men to the tax, the council on several occasions have refused to levy the same. The fi nances of the town were getting in bad shape aud growing worse each month. The constitution forbids the general leyy of a tax and the only way to look after the city’s in terests was an occupation tax. On account of not having sufficient rev- enue torun the town the electric light for street purposes has been | shut off, and the water company has | not been paid for several months, debts were accumulating which, in_ the end, would have to be met and | there was but one way open for the, authorities to get money and va) was by «a moderate license. Of course there will be objectors to the plan devised but we believe in the end these parties will accept the sit uation cheerfully aud will be pleased \ their endeavor to liquidate the nec essary expenses of the city govern | ment. Butler, the capital of one of | the greatest counties in the stat+, | must be kept abreast the times and | we believe this is the wish of every | good citizen. If so endorse the ac | tion of tho council and let us put | our shoulder to the wheel and keep | our little city in thefront rank of the ; towns in this section of the stete. | All together now, no kicking. | i Two Tramps Jugged. Saturday night about eight o'clock two burly tramps stole from the front of McKibben’s store a pair of | gum boots and from the store of | Joe Meyer, an overcoat. They were | both captured in a short time by | the potice and the stolen articles re | turned to their owner. In explana- | tion of their motive one of them | stated that they wanted to be cap | tured, as they desired a roosting | place for askort time. One of the) thieves also bad ona new pair of | shoes and a pair of arctic overshoes which he had evidently just stolen, | as the shoes were scarcely soiled. | Both tramps were stout, nearts)) looking young men, but their coun-: tenances bore evidence of being; hardened and tough sinners. As their object in theft was for | the purpose of getting board and | lodging for a time, the Mayor or| officer having them in charge should | lose no time in making them wel- come and introducing them to a} healthy rock pile.
