She had been suffering for several days with a severe cold, contracted during the late illness of her hus- band,and Saturday night was strick en down with a sudden and severe attack of pneumonia.

Nonohoe Doesn't Want 310,000 After All. Capt. We are No Longer Distinguished by a Libel Suit. When the case of Donohoe vs Al len et. al., was called in the circuit court Monday, Hon Thos. W. Sil vers, representing the plaintiff, dis ;missed the suit. Hon. W. W. Graves for the defense suggested that it be “without prejudice, but Mr Silvers did not see fit to take advantage of this suggestion. So the famous libel suit of the “statesman with the fog horn voice,” to vindicate his reputa | tion passes into history, minus the | vindication. | This was the case in which Capt. | H.C. Donohoe brought suit for) | $10,000 against the editor of this | paper for libel on account of the} publication of an article in which Capt. Donohoe was said to have re- fused to let his wife go to hear a) d—d rebel preacher, referring to} Rev.

The Demorest Medal contest took } place Monday night at ihe Christian church. There were seven young lady contestants and each acquitted herself in a very creditable manner. They were Misses Jessie White, Maud Donovaa, Mabel McReynolds, Alice Wycoff, Ida Sherman, Grace Cassity and Edna Doane. The med- al, a beautiful silver one, was award- ed to Miss Maud Donovan. The Judges were A. W. Thurman, Dr. Temple and Dr. Fulkerson. There was a large and appreciative audi- ence and the programme was very interesting throughout, one very in- teresting feature being a speech by little Son Burrus. A good collection was taken up for the poor. These literary contests are very interesting and instructive and we would be glad to see the interest in them kept up. Capt. Warren Bronaugh, one of Henry county's best known citizens, largest farmers and stock dealers, spent Tuesday in the city and gave the Times a pleasant call. Capt. Bronaugh is one of the vice-presi- dents of the eonfederate home at Higginsville and is one of that insti tion’s most zealous officers. . He informed us that the association had money enough to support the Home until May ist. After that date it will be absolutely neces- sary to raise more nipney and the exconfederate and other friends of the home should begin making ar rangements by counties to meet the running expenses of this noble and charitable enterprise. The home has no state or national aid and must and does depend on thecharity of the people. The Capt. says $200 from each county in the state will support the institution and does not think this small pit- tance from counties should be a hardship on its citizens. } Forty men |giving $5 each w year. As for Bates. certainly this amount and as much more could be easily raised by the proper effort of a few men in each townsaip who hold the home sacred and feel an interest in the aged, maimed and decrepit inmates of the institution.

Fort Scott, Kan., Feb. 11.—The police commissioners appointed for | this city by Governor Morrill met to day and instructed the chief of police to serve notice on all the sa- loonkeepers to discontinue business after 6 o'clock next Saturday even- ing For two years the saloons have been running by paying monthly fines. The commission will enforce the prohibitory law. Their action may create another liquor war. W M. Rice, former editor of the Moni | tor, was appointed police judge and} W. H. Roberson was appointed chief of police. The chiet was instructed to close all gambling rooms forth- with. Baptists at “‘Loggerheads. The Baptist church of this city, is in the throes of internal strife. Some 20 or more members made ap- plication for their letters a few evenings ago for the avowed pur pose of starting a second church of that denomination in this city. These were refused letters, but a committee of five was selected to consist of three persons from the church proper and two from the dis- senters. This committee is to meet in about ten days, we understand, with the pastors and two members each from five churches in this asso- | ciation, to sit as delegates in judg- ment on the differences existing. We do not know just what these differences are, and amid the con- flict of opinions it is somewhat dif- ficult to get an impartial account. We have not gone into the matter, therefore, only so far as the news features obliged us to, refraining from any mention till the rupture had gone éo far that these applica tions for withdrawal were made. We hope our friends will speedily settle their differences and continue as brethren to dwell together in unity.—Rich Hill Review. Navigation Stopped - Washington, D. C., Feb. 9.—The intensely cold weather continues today, but it’s severity was some- what modified by the sunshine. Navigation on the Potomac river for about fifty miles down is practically at an end.

Perry, Ok., Feb 9.—Mrs. Johnson, living on a claim on Deer creek, forty miles northwest of Perry came near being devoured by hungry wolves the night of the terrible bliz - | zard, and with her three little chil- dren, who would possibly bave shared the same fate. Mrs. John- son's husband was away from home | on the evening of the blizzard. She ‘went across a ravine a half mile away to visit a neighbor and the ter- rible wind prevented her from re- {turning home until late at night, | when she started across the prairie | She had not | to her little home | gone far when she heard the howl [ot the wolves and very soon a dozen of the hungry curs were following the almost frantic woman and little children. Her screams brought a neighbor, Mr. Maltby, whose trusty | rifle brought the animals to bay. A CARD. To our valued customers and the public in general; We speak knowingly after twenty- five years of close application to | business on the credit system. The new experiences of each year's busi- ness satisfies us that the credit sys- tem has out lived its day. It only brings burdens and dissatisfaction to those who follow its path. We will therefore sell for cash or its equiva- lent, beginning on the first day of March, 1895, our carefully selected stock of Hardware, Groceries, Queens ware, Stoves and Tinware, at prices that will surprise the public general- ly. There are losses each year in the credit business that can not be calcu- lated until the year’s transactions are over and neither cash customers nor time buyers take delight in pay- ing those losses, which they do ander the credit system. We expect to save our customers a good per cent in this one item. Each and every line across the ledger represents money and more or less losses. We expect to use the money heretofore tied up in book form to buy merchandise for spot eash, taking the discount from the jobber and making to our customers asaving of a portion of the profits, We will make one price to all so that none will go away dissatisfied. But, says one, I have not the cash to pay for my goods. If we can con- vince you that we will save you more than the interest on the money, would you rather not make some art rangement and get the money to pay for what you want instead of having it charged. We have enjoyed alarge patronage for many years and hope by pursuing the above indicated course to still merit a share of your patronage, as before. Our prices will be at all times as low or lower than any other | house on the same quality of goods. ! Wishing all a prosperous and hap- | py year during 1895, We remain, very respectfully, 13-3t A.
