The county teachers institute is in session at Rich Hill. The enroll- ment for the first day was 108. Don’t you know that Hood's Sar- saparilla will oyercome that tired feeling and give you renewed vigor and vitality? Misses Ada and Emma Buck left Saturday afternoon for Kansas City on a two weeke’ visit with their sis- ter, Mrs. Jas. Williams. Peter Crooks, one of Bates coun ty’s most substantial citizens sub- scribes for the booming Truss, this week. Mr. Crook lives near Vir- ginia and owns a yaluable farm and the Times is glad to number him among its patrons. Miss Anna Whitsitt returned Sat- urday from her trip to ‘New Mexico. She was net very favorably impress- ed with the country, although the climate is healthful, vegetation of all kind is scarce, and everything is shipped in from other states. Chas. McGaughay, living near New Home, had his name enrolled forthe booming Times this week. He is one of the substantial citizens of that neighberhood and the Times will endeavor to make him one of it’s lasting friends and subscribers. Ayer’s Pills possess the curative virtues the best known medicinal plants. These pills are scientifically prepared, are easy to take, and safe for young or old. They are invalu- able for regulating the bowels, and for the relief and cure of stomach troubles. C. B. Lewis has repurchased that elegant span of match iron gray geldings, which when owned by him, took a number of premiums at the different county fairs as a fancy eaeriage team. There is no doubt but they are the fanciest pair of horses in this section of the State. Scientific cutting and stitching is what makes the Buckskin BreEecues the best jeans pants that can be had at any price. The sgams are care- full and strongly mad are riveted on. Tie {pockets won't rip or tear and theyVre the best in fit and finish. They are cheaper by far than the common grades. In ac- tual price they cost the same. The Times hopes the teachers at- tending the institute at Rich Hill will have a pleasant and profitable time this year and we feel assured in saying they will use their best endeavors to entertain them. Of course at the wind up of the institute and when the matter of selecting a location for the meeting of the in- stitute next year neither the county superintendent nor fair committee will use undue influence and the teachers will be left to vote as they please. Anyhow the superintendent will keep his hands off. Jesse Kearns, one of the stalwart and enterprising young farmers of Pleasant Gap neighborhood called Tuesday and renewed for '96. While in Butler attending the celebration he had the misfortune to have the hind wheel of his vehiekel smashed in the jam while returning from the picnic grounds ahead of the storm. His family was in the spring wagon, and were thrown to the ground but all escaped without harm. Assist- ance prevented his horses from run- ning away and causing a regular stampede. Two excursions trains, one follow- ing the other on the Grand Trunk railway, came together at Craig's Road Station Canada, Wednesday evening and thirteen people were killed outright and thirty-four injur- ed. The first section had stopped at the station to take water when the second section following a few minutes behind dashed into the Pullman coach and reduced it to kindling wood, killing everybody aboard the car except the conductor who jumped. The excursion was a religious affair and among the killed was three priests. Mr. Hicks has made his prediction for July. It is to begin with stormy weather. Three or four days fol- lowing the 5th and 6th are te be unusually hot. rom the 9th to the 13th will be cooler with some rain. The best chances for rain seem to be about the 15th, 16th and from the 20th to the 24th. Midsummer storms with more bluster than rain are to occur about the 27th to the 29th. Itis also intimated that a eyclone cellar will be a handy piece of furniture between the 2Ist and 24th. A New Baby At Gray Gables, New York, July 8.—A special to alocal paper from Buzzard’s Bay says: There is rejoicing at Gray Gables, the President's summer home, over the arrival of another little girl, which interesting event occurred at 4:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon.

Secretary To Clear the Shelves. Lane & Adair, the popular dry goods firm in this city, as will be! seen from their large advertisement in this issue of the Ties, has de- eided to clear their shelves of all summer goods by a clearance sale to make room for their fall stock. They do not desire to carry over any summer goods and therefore have marked down the price to a sacrifice. They havea large lot of summer goods yet on the counters aud the people that go to this store) «!! during this sale are going to get some nice bargains as wellas pretty goods. If you don’t wish to buy call and see them and the firm will appreciate your visit. The Glorious Fourth. This national holiday and day of picnic’s and general jolification has come and gone for the year 1895, and the reports from every section of the country indicate that the American people took unusal inter- est and the insulting of the stars and stripes by a foreign nation could not have made them more patriotic or demonstrative for love of country. For the big celebration held in this city, and attended by thousands of people, due credit must be given the Butler fire department who had all the details and management of the affair in hand. The boys work. ed night and day and the Times is glad their effort to entertain the people was so successful. All re- gret however, that at the right time when the people were settling themselves in the beautiful grove to spend the evening in social conver- sation, witnessing the different amusements and listening to patri- otic orations, a monster black cloud rising in the north and the roar of thunder caused a sudden stampede and the desertion, of the picnic grounds. Grand preparations had been made for fireworks display from the top of the brick building at the southwest corner of the square dur- ing the evening, but the rain came and ina measure this part of the programme could not be carried out satisfactory. The street parade was a nice affair | and the merchants, military com- pany, etc., etc. taking part deserve much credit for the interest mani- fested in helping entertain. It was a great day for Butler and undoubtedly the largest celebration in point of numbers ever held in the place, and had it not been for the rain, a most pleasant time would have been had. There was no drunk- eness or rowdysim and but few acci- dents and they were to vehicles. Ballard Items. Misses Julia Douglass and Mary Miller left Friday for Denver to at- tend the National Teachers’ conven- tion.

The Sad Fate Which Overtook Mrs. John Craig, While Returning From the Celebration. On the afternoon of the 4th, while returning home from the celebration fat Butler, Mrs. John Craig, of Pleas- ant Gap township lost her hfe by Growning. Mr. and Mrs. Craig and | two little sons, the oldest 13 years , Were in the spring wagon. When they reached the ravine south of the Cluster Springs farm, they found that the heavy rain had raised the water to enormous proportions and was running very swiftly. The water had spread out until it was nearly one hundred yards across. There was a culvert or small bridge across the bed of the stream, and the wagon must have missed this, for they were suddenly engulfed and washed down stream. Mr. C. threw his smallest boy toward the shore and grabbed his wife and together they drifted against a barbed wire fence, a short distance below. Before Mr. Craig could disengage his wife's clothing from the wire the team drifted down against them. He says he had to cut the team loose and by the time he got his wife out she was dead. He thinks she died of heart disease, as he is quite sure he kept her head out of the water. The youngest boy caught on to a log and held on to it until rescued, about an hour afterwards. The oldest boy climbed out on the fence. Mrs. Craig was an excellent lady, asister of Mrs. John Deerwester. A husband and four boys are left to mourn their loss. To prevent pale and delicate child- ren from lapsing into chronic inva- lids later in life, they should take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla together with plenty of wholesome food and out- door exercise. What they need to build up the system is goud red blood. Committee Meeting. OEFICIAL REPORT. The Democrat Central Committee |} of Bates county met at the court jhouse, July 4th; present, D.

The 7th annual Sunday School con- vention, which met in Rich Hill last Friday and Saturday, was a success. The rain on the 4th and 5th cut the attendance down at least one-haif. But notwithstanding the rain it was one of the best, if not the very best, ever held in the county. W. J. Semilroth, state superintend- ent, Was present during the entire convention. giving and aiding in various ways to make the meeting a power for good. On Friday night Rev. Manley J. Breaker, D. D., of Independence, delivered an address on “The True Mission of the Sunday School” to a large audience, which was pronounced byall to have been the most practical talk along S. S. lines ever made in the county. Among others taking an active part in the programme were: Mrs. N. 0. Wyard, Revs. J. Y¥. Busby, H. E. Tralle. W. D. Blair, Porter, Hatcher, J. W. Sullivan, T. W. Legg. President T. J. Smith gave univer- sal satisfaction as chairman, allowing no time to be lost. W D Yates. secretary, made one of the most elaborate and comple reports ever made to a convention in any county inthis state, showing No. 8.8. reporting 109, with a membership of 10,500. Butler was chosen as the place of holding the next convention. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: T. W. Legg, president; Miss Nellie Cunnyham, dent; G. vice-presi- P. Wyatt, corresponding W. D. Yates, recording \V. H. Cook, treasurer. The one hundred delegates were warm in their expressions of the hos- pitality of the people of Rich Hill.

We had the pleasure of attending the County 8. 8. convention at Rich Hill Saturday, and listening to the best convention ever held in the state.
