Representation for townships will De same as heretofore. T. K. Lists, Chairman. The Horr-Harvey silver debate in Chicago goes bravely on. Secretary Carlisle is booked for a sound money speech in Nebraska Sept. 5th. Peffer and the populist party are dissolving partnership. The Senator wants a new party. The republican papers are not so aure now of electing their national ticket as they were awhile back. One of the greatest objections to another new party is that the last one sent Peffer to the Senate. Jerry Simpson, the Kansas sock- Jess statesman, will speak at Nevada August 17th, at a picnic to be held at lake park. Senator Bi n’s Kentucky friends are still sticking to him and up to date he is having a walk over for renomination. eee In the manufacture of everything needed for the comfort of people the United States is showing her superiority over all other nations. Tho M. K. & T. railroad is having 800 freight cars built in St. Louis. This is another unmistakable proof that the country is on a prosperous bound. eee The increase in the wages of the laboring men goes bravely on with the wave of prosperity and week by week continues to spoil the chances for republican success in 1896. ee The St. Louis Business Men’s League, is making a determined ef- fort to secure the national conven- tions of the democratic and republi- ean parties which meet next year. Ia it a mistake of the State Central sommittee or the printer? The of- ficial statement of representation in the State Silver Convention, allows Bates County only three delegates. “Tazewell county, Illinois was again visited by a tornado last week, and dwellings, trees, fences, &c., suffered.

Ex-Gov ernor McCreary made a gallant fight but lost. The majorities ranged from 14 to 221. In the death of Doctor McAnally, editor of the St. Louis Christian Ad- yocate, the Southern Methodist church loses one of it’s oldest preach- ers, profoundest scholars, best ora- tors and ablest editors. He was 85 years of age. —_— Ses The Sunday closing of the saloons im the large cities of this State is working to perfection. The credit of this reformation for good is due Governor Stone and his newly ap- pointed police commissioners, who have demonstrated beyond a doubt that the law can be enforced with the right men in office. It comes in} t Senator Quay has expressed his| preference as being either Reed or | McKinley, for the republican nom-| jination for president. This is suf- A CORDIAL INVITATION. | The Traes, on behalf of the citi- zens of Butler, extends a cordial invitation to the teachers of ficient to condemn both men as unfit; Bates county, now in session at | for the place. Cashier L. T. Parrish, of the Far- mers Bank, of Orrick, Ray county, was last seen in Kansas City. Since his departure it has been discovered that $15,000 of the bank's funds are missing. Parrish must have been expecting a visit from the state bank examiner. Andrew Carnegie is reported as saying that the country at large does not realize the boom which has started the industrial world. Iron and steel mills all over the country have contracted their full capacity for several months ahead, and many actually unable to take additional orders. Since the bulk of their con- tracts were booked, there has been an advance of 50 per cent in pig iron. This fall consumers will find they cannot place orders. The coun- try is on the threshold of one of the biggest revolutions in business it bas eyer experienced.—TIllinois Cou- rier. G. W. Mitchell, democratic com- mitteeman from Summit township, wishes us to say that he is a free silver democrat, in favor of the free coinage of the white metal at the ratio of 16 to 1, but that he thinks all things should be done in order. He could see no reason why a con- vention should be called in an off year, the action of which could not possibly commit the party to any policy, but would only tend to bring discord and disaffection in party ranks. In the absence of positive instructions he feels that he repre- sented his township in voting againet a convention. It is stated that ex-Governor Humphrey, of Kansas,is to take edi- torial management of the Sedalia Capitol. The report is also denied. In the person of Gen. Rice the Capitol has a most excellent head and it is extremely doubtful if a change for the better could be made by the owners of the concern. It is fully demonstrated however, that Sedalia,from some cause,is a mighty poor newspaper town, and money put in a first class plant is a hazardous experiment and an unprofitable in- vestment That brilliant writer, Maj. John N. Edwards, came nearest suc- ceeding in establishing the Demo- crat, but on taking his leave to a broader field the plant soon suc cumbed to the inevitable. The Bazoo staid longer, but it too went the road of it’s competitors. It’s a novel manifesto Master Workman Sovereign has issued. He calls upon all Knights of Labor organizations to refuse to accept national bank notes in payment for their labor. The order is to take effect September 1st. This manifesto is a direct boycott against the na- tional bank bill, and under the law it is so stated the matter of receiv- ing these notes in payment is left optional with the people as the government has made no provision to force this particular money in circulation and the peopl: are not compelled to accept the notes ‘in payment of debts against their will. As to what the outcome of the mani festo will be remains to be seen, but ene thing is apparent and that is, the national baxks are considerably worked up over the matter. The settlers who have located in Johnson covaty Kansas, have found themselves in a hot box. The land upor which they settled, comprising 34,000 acres, was claimed by the In- dians. David Overmeyer,special mas- ter appointed by the goveroment, has filed his report in the Federal court, and his findings are favorable to the Black Bob Indians, whe had laid claim to the land. The land was ceded to the Black Bob Indians in 1854, and they eccupied it about ten years, when they became dissatisfied and moved te the Indian Territory. When the Indians vacated the land was promptly settled by the whites | and they have held it without title. When a railroad passed through the land both, the whites and the In- dians claimed the condemnation mon- ey which gave rise to the suit and j Rich Hill, to hold their next an- nual Institute at the county seat. In extending this invitation our peo- ple have no sordid motives, as they do not expect or desire to profit pecuniarily off the teachers. But we have a pride in having these distin- guished guests with us for a month. We understand that these Insti- tutes are heid for the profit and not the pleasure of the teachers and we do not insult their intelligence by of- fering as inducements to come to Butler, boquets, banquets, picnics, parties, free excursions, ete. We offer them the most central location, making it the most accessible point to all the teachers of the county, The session is held at the hottest season of the year. Butler presents a forest of shade against the scorch ing sun; the purest water in the county, pleasant and hospitable homes where board can be obtained at a reasomable prices. As a place of pleasure and recreation after the day’s work is done, we have a beau- tiful lake and park on the out-skirts of the city where they can while away their leisure hours in a. boat ride, a dip inthe lake or a stroll through the park The freedom of the city is extend- ed to the teachers should they see fit to come. The State Auditor of Illinois has furnished a statement of the expen- ses of the regular session of the Thirty-ninth general assembly, the total of which is $374,372,19. If these figures do not show that the people of Illinois are paying pretty dear for their loyalty to the repub- lican party, then pray tell us what they doshow. As asample of the extravagance of the house and sen- ate here is the items taken from the auditors report: For per diem, mileage, stationery, postage, etc., to members of the Menitey ht oh ease er . $ 44,032 20 For ofticers and employes ..... -» $9,545 00 For per diem, mileage, postage, 5 tionery, ete., to members of House 131,181 10 Fer per diem to officers andemployes 37,254 50 For per diem to employes of House and Senate appointed by Secretary of State .. vee +++ 42,098 00 The Globe-Democrat, as a stroke of policy on the part of the national republican convention, is urging the nomination of a southern man for vice-president, as the best way to obliterate sectionalism, which it claims no longer exists in this coun- try. Toa certain degree the Globe- Democrat is correct in it’s argument that the Jines of sectionalism are a thing of the past. But as for the argument of nominating a southern man for vice-president on the repub- lican ticket, that will not be done in this generation. The republican party must have some argument in the heat of the campaign to fire patriotism among it’s adherents and the band playing Dixie in the south and Hail Columbia in the north will not have the mellowing effect of blending the two sections in one bond of union. Comptroller Eckels thinks neither of the great parties will adopt free silver. He asserts that the placing of the last loan was a marvelous piece of financiering. He recently visited the iron districts of Pennsyl- vania and was astonished at the re- newed activity. Referring to Brad- street’s report that one million wage earners had received increased salaries within the past fourteen days, he said that was a direct result of the general confidence in the policy of the administratien.—Ne- vada Post. es The household furniture of Mrs. Kate Sprague, daughter of Chief Justice Chase, is to be sold at mort- gage sale. This is a severe stroke to a lady who has enjoyed wealth and the highest social standing in this country. —— Ex-President Harrison is credited in the newspapers of haying made this statement to Major T. L. Poole and Joseph I. Sayles, “I am nota candidate for the presidency, have not been, will not be. I do not want the office and would not accept the nomination.” The prosperous condition of the Rhode Island woolen industry is indicated by the announcement that there will be a general adyance of wages this month running from 7 to ownership of the land. In the set- tlement of the case the whites lose all the improvements made. 12 per cent. This may spoil some of McKinley’s best campaign speech- es, but the country will not grieve over the loss —New York World. i DeArmond Away From Home. | Reekdale, (Tex.) Daily Banner. } The following extract is taken! from a batch of “Stuff” sent to the| |San Antonio Express as “Washing-! \ton Gossip” which would have been | more appropriately called “Washing | ton Slander.” | “Congressman DeArmond of Mis | souri may not come back to congress. | There is considerable disaffection | | with him in his district, and already one of the leading democrats has | publicly announced his intention of | securing the nomination. DeArmond is the backwoods Mis sourian who has made himself con spicuous in congress by his constant attacks on the National capitol He has opposed all appropriations for the improvement of Washington unless the people here paid every cent of the bills, and his speeches in antagonism to district interests were widely circulated in his home counties in the evident hope of mak ing bim solid with his home people. If he is left at home next time he may be a martyr in a good cause. It will show that to hinder the develop- ment of the National capitol is not altogether a popular thing.” From our personel knowledge of Congressmas DeArmond, we are forced to arrive at either one and possibly both of the conclusions, and that is that the correspondent is either in the employ of the capitol cormorants, who reside there and grow fat upon the people at large, or he is totally ignorant of the stand- ing of Congressman DeArmond and the section he represents. If the correspondent would visit the ‘“‘back- woods” district which Congressman DeArmond represents, he would see more genuine culture, finer educa- tional institutions than he ever bo- fore saw. The fact of the case is, the average news (?) reporter at the national capital is a jackass of the Mexican variety, and standa ready to besmirch the name of any. man upon whom they cannot work their little games. In intellect, culture and refinement, Congressman De- Armond ranks head and shoulders over the representatives of many of the other states. In addition no man is more popular with the peo- ple of the district than he; admired by all for his rugged honesty and sterling worth asa true representa- tive of the people of that prosperous and intellectual section. Such rot as the correspondent sent out from Washington falls like water from a duck’s back in the congressman's district, but to people whe are un- acquainted with the district and the people, would do a great deal of harm, by prejudicing their minds against him. Good for DeArmond If the residents of Washington want improvements let them pay for them Silver City Washed Away. White Water, N. M, July 22 — Couriers from Silyer City, N. M., say that the entire town was carried away by a cload-burst this after. noon, and that there was a great loss of life. Among the principal buildings that are included in tha wreckage is the Timmer House which was said to have been the largest and best hotel in the Territory. In the ruins of the latter place twenty people are said to have been crushed te death, but that is only a surmise, as there is no way of arriving at the truth, owing to the absence of all means of communication with the wrecked town. The Silver City divion of the San ta Fe has been washed out fora distance of fifty miles, and the only means ef obtaining information is from messengers who arrive in quest of relief. 20 Scrofula Sores Affiicted me last July —in fact I have suf- fered with scrofula over 20 years.

Joe Noska Killa, Three Persons and Fa tally Wounds Four Others. New Orleans, La., July 21.—Last Friday night, on the Terre Haute plantation in St. John’s Parish, a terrible butchery of human beings teok place. While Rosario Giordano and his family were seated at the supper table, Joe Noska walked up to the door, and leveling a double- barreled shotgun, fired. Mrs. Gior- dane fell to the floor a corpse, and the bullets that did not go through her went through both legs of the 4-months infant she held in her arms Giordano, fearing that the babe would be killed in the fall, sprang forward to clasp it, and the assassin then fired again. The buckshot en tered the groin of Mary Giordano. The 10 year-old girl, on seeing her mother fall, ran forward and receiv- ed a portion of the load of buckshot that struck,her father. The shot en- tered her abdomen, litterally tearing it to pieces. At the same time little Nicolina fell to the floor wounded through the head. The assassin, Joe Noska, did not move from the spot. but when he saw Benedetto Giordano, a nephew of the dead woman, and Charley Columbano coming toward him he coolly placed two fresh shells in his gun and waited until they were close to him. Then he raised the gun and fired both barrels, the two men falling te the ground dead. Then the murderer, throwing his gun over hie shoulder, made his escape to the woods. When the citizens ascertained the extent of the deed, they organized a posse,and led by the Sheriff attempted to cap ture the assassin. The wounded were brought to the Charity Hospit- al in this city. Ft. Scott, Kan., July 20 —With a big butcher knife in hand, Lee Mor- gan, proprietor of a restraurant and confection store in this city, rushed through the prineipal street Satur day evening pursued by 500 people whom he oecasional!y stood off with threatening demonstrations with the knife. He had, without any appar- ent provocation, shot and prebably fatally;wounded Albert Shirley, a baker, in business next door to his place ofjbusiness. The men had a trival difficulty and Morgan shot him twice im the head. Droppiag his gun he picked up the knife and fled. He ran over a mile to the court house steps, and there held his pursuers at bay with the knife. Upou the arrival of the sheriff he gave himself up. Several times during his flight by- standers, attempted to arrest him, but he fought them viciously with the knife. Four Years of Sawing. St. Louis, Mo, July 19.—The St. Louis Lumberman, 10 its issue to day, says: “The largest transaction in the history of the Southern lum- ber trade has just been closed by the execution here of a contract by an extensive lumber firm of Lum- berton, Mies , to furnish 100,000,000 feet of yellow pine lumber to a large manufacturing company of this city. It will take the mille four years to saw the lumber and require 10,000 freight cars to convey it to it’s des- tination. { Forest Fires in Michigan. Cadillac, Mich., July 18.—Forest fires are raging so furiously in thie vicinity that trains on both the Grand Rrapids & Indianapolis and the Toledo, Ann Arbor & Northern Michigan roads are forced to lay over in this city. Large quantities of loge, cedar post and ties piled up along the track have been licked up by the fire. Muskegon, July 18 —Heavy rains fell to night, deluging the northern part of the country and extinguish- ing the forest fires, which have been raging for many weeks. oS Brings comfort and improvement and i tends to pemruet enjoyment when rightly used.
