The deceased was a pioneer citizen of Rich Hill and highly respected The members of the Butler cornet band are requested to meet to night at the band room, as there will be business of importance to transact. It is hoped all will be present. Peter Ewing, one of the large and substantial farmers of Mingo town- ship, spent Saturday night in the city with his friend, Judge Dalton. In speaking of the crop prospects in his neighborhood, Mr. Ewing said he had 150 acres of corn up and growing nicely, a part of it being up six inches high. The high wind Saturday and the cracking and falling limbs from the trees in the court yard, came pretty near stampeding the teams hitched to the rack on the south side of the square. Fora few minutes it look ed as though a dozen teams would | break loose. Had they done soa wholesale runaway would have been the result. Alfred Kuykendall, a teamster at Rich Hill, was killed, Friday. He was crossing a bridge and his team started to back off. He jumped out of the wagon, and this frightened his horses and they started to run, j when he was caught between the | wheel and sluce box and crushed to j death. He was 57 years old and | leaves a wife and several children. The chairman of the democratic | central committee of Vernon county, ; being petitioned, has issued a prec- jlamation calling the committee |together Saturday, May 11th, that the committee might consider the | propriety of calling a mass conven- | tion of the county democracy te | ascertain the sentiment of the party on the silver question. “The coal miners in West Virginia j have gone on a strike again McKibbens, the big dry goods merchants, have placed ia their show window for free exhibit an Egyptian mummy The mummy is valued at | $1,100.

The grand jury in session at Car- jrollton, Mo., last week found indict- | ments agains several person who, it jis claimed, were implicated in bribing jand attempting to bribe the jury in the trial of the Taylor brothers for | the murder of the Meeks family. It is said an attempt will be made | next week by the republican repre- ; Sentatives in the house to adjourn the legislature in order to dodge that portion of the Governor's mes- sage relating to the fellow servant legislation. The lobby, it seems, on this particular measure have the republicans by the nose. | | | Saturday's Nevada Mai! reports the destruction by fire of J. D. White's barn in Richland township, Friday night. Twelve head of fine horses perished, besides 500 bushels of corn, 50 bushels of wheat, eight tons of hay, a buggy and several seis of harness. Every horse on the place was destroyed. The loss is about half covered by insurance We learn from Estes Smith, of Mingo township, that J. L. Shaw had the misfortune to lose his resi-| dence and most of the contents by | fire a short time ago. The dwelling was a two story frame and the tire orginated from a defective flue. Mr. Shaw held in ce for $600 on | building and $300 cn contents. He estimates his loss over and above his insurance at $1,000. Dr. Boulware has returned home from his trip to Chicago, where he went to attend the meeting of na- tional association of railway geous. His wife, who was visiti in St. Louis,returned with him doctor reports having bad a most excellent time. While in Chicago he witnessed some very difficult sur gical operations which were profita- ble to him in his practice. Last Saturday John L. Stozel, a U.S. prisoner, $1 years of age, was placed in jail to serve a sentence of sixty days imposed by the court for procuring false affidavits in support | of the claim he had for an increase in his pension allowance. It was an unpleasant duty for Judge Philips! to pass sentence on this old man, jbut his guilt was positive and the Judge was merciful in giving hima short jail sentence instead of the penitentiary. Nevada Post: The democratic cen- tral committee of Laclede county, | Mo., met Saturday and issued a call | for a mass convention of the demo | crats of the county, to be held the; itself in favor of an early state con | vention of the demecracy of Mis-} souri, for the purpose of a public! declaration as to the party policy| and if the state committee refuses | to call such convention, that conven- | tions to be held in every county in | the state i L. S. Blankenship, one of our} substantial friends and subscribers | livivg near Shobe, called Saturday | and renewed. He said a terrific wind and rain storm passed through his section Friday evening late, which did considerable damage to} barns and outbuildings. Just as he} was giving us particulars a gust of wind passed over town and the breaking of limbs from the trees in the court yard calied him hastily to} look after his horses and the inter-/| view was cut short. Miss Cosby Brown. teacher in our schocls, met with quite a painful ac cident at her home on Ohio street! Sabbath morning. She moucted a! chair to attend to some household duty when the chair tipped and she fell to the floor, breaking one of the | bones in her arm near the wrist and | badly lacerated a couple of liga-! ments. The wound is a very painful one and she will be laid up for some time. Sho has secured the services | of Prof. E. Speece to conduct her room at the school building for the present. Our esteemed friend Squire G. B. Parker, of Summit township, gave us a pleasant call Saturday and from | him we learned that the wind storm Friday eyening was quite severe in his section. One side of the barn of Judge Philips, he said,was unroofed and a big hay shed blown down. At/ the home of S. C. Lynn, the kitchen! was detached from the main dwel- ling and moved a few feet ftom its foundation. At his home the Squire said the wind blew very hard he was tempted to go to the cave, but his wife objected on the Presbyterian doctrine, “what is to be will be,” and she preferred to remain in the house and care for the thi So he concluded to brave the storm with her although he would have felt much more comfortable in the cave.

Miller, of Liberty, Mo., one of the pioneer newspaper men of the state, and for forty years editor of the Liberty Tribune, gave the Tres a pleasant call Friday while in | city looking after his landed inter- ests in this county. He owns a handsome little farm a couple of | miles north of this city which is be- ing managed by Sam Walls. Commencement exercises of the Adrian public schools were held in | that town Friday night last, and quite a number of young ladies and | gents, (pupils of the Butler schools) | went up to witness the closing ex- ercises. There were seven graduates who, our young folks tell us, acquit- ted themselves most becomingly. | The Adrian schools have been in charge of Prof. Will E. Welch, for | the past six years, and his cempe- | tent work has brought the Adrian | school up from a district to a graded school. The Tixes congratulates Mr. Welch on his good work as an educator. Gen. John H. Rice, the veteran newspaper man and for many yeare editor of the Ft. Scott Monitor, has started a new daily paper at Sedalia, the “Sedalia Daily Capital.” It is an eight column folio, handsomely | printed from new material. The. Capital is republican in polities, | stands first for Sedalia, then capital | removal, the silver dollar as a unit of value, and the free coinage of American silver, a tariff for revenue and protection sufficient to approxi- mately defray the expenses of the government and give reasonable protection te American industries. Gen. Rice is an able and vigorous writer and there is no doubt but that he will give Sedalia a first class pear Slippers SHOES money go further than it did a short time since—isn't prudent to come and see what we are offering—just now we are selling all ‘broken lots of Ladies, Misses and Childrens low shoes from 1-3 to 1-2. off.

The next meeting of the association will be held in Cincinnati. The following officers were elected. President, Dr. J. F. Hughes of Chicago; secretary, r. E. Welch, of Grand Rapids, Dr. E. R. Lewis, of Kansas City. The association was largely attended. Our good friend and pioneer citi- zep, S. Sells, accompanied by his wife and little granddaughter, called Monday and Mr. Sells renewed for *95. Mr. S. has lived in Bates county almost continuously since 1855, and | his recollection of the early history | and settlement of the county is very | interesting. When he settled here |the county seat was at Papinyille, | there were few settlers in the county,. and they did their trading and mill- ing at Balltown and West Point. Indians were thick, roads were few and the prairie grass tall. In his day Mr. SelJe has made an overland trip to Santa Fe and California freighting with ox teams. Newspaper reports from Jefterson City say the Governor contemplates sending in to the legislature a special message recommending the passage of a bill to continue the school text book commission. It is said the school book trust has a lobby at the capital te defeat the passage of a bill interfering with the combine. At the winter session a bill was in- troduced to continue the commission but the book trust was on hand and the measure was strangled without bobbing it’s head for engrossment. The text book law saved the le of this State many thousands of dol- H lare, and it is to be hoped the legis- lature will pass a bill continuing the | commission. There should be one alteration made, a penalty should be attached forbidding dealers selling the books ata greater profit than the contract price with 10 per cent added.
