A permanent organization was effected by the election of the fol- officers, Bates county will present the atate with the largest corp crop in her history. From the governments reports "hay will be scarce and high this | year and our farmers should make a i big effort to save their crops. Rebt. Bruce, alias Jackson, was ested at Lexington, Me, Friday. He is wanted at Huateville, Mo, for murdering & woman. UTUER WEEKLY TIMES § Miss Sallie McCoy is visiting her ister Mrs. Frank Mount, of Sedalia. The council in their order for an election of’ alderman had just as well included the third ward. Snyder has gone. Every chance the people get they should hedge against the mistake made in the last city election. Clardy and Graves will bea decided im- provement. G. W. Clardy will make Butler a good mayor, Robt. L. Graves will do the correct thing as alderman, and Squire Hemstreet will attend to the wants ef the unruly. Near Trenton, Mo., Friday even- ing during the storm Charles Coon while loading his wagon with oats was struck by lightning and instant- ly killed. The oats and wagor were burned. Now that we are to have a silver convention in Bates county August 3d, to send delegates to a state con- vention let it be a big one. Every township should send in it’s dele- gates. The dispatches announce all sorts of weather for Saturday in the glor the brave.” In Washington City it was hot enough to fry an egg in the open hand, and in Montana frost. ious “land of the free and home of and saddle from the barn. s Jesse Cox, 17 years of age and son of highly respectable parents of | Montevallo township, Vernon county, | was arrested Friday and placed un der bond for criminal assault upou Bertha Peck, aged 13 years. Sol Kabn, of Montrose, shipped last week eighty head of fine horses to Germany. This sounds like the horse was sure ehough leaving us. Prof. D. H.

One thing, he would dress .ue town up jan guod shape or bust it. William Beneka, a prosperous farmer, living near Whiting, Kansas, ) 42 years of age and father of eight + children, hung himself in the corn crib of his barn Friday. satisfied with the result. The rich of course can stand it. G. Shaffer. Miss Anna Wright, of Chicago, is visiting her uncle and aunt Mr. and Mrs. C. S. McCullough.

Last week David Ritter, of Ritter station, shipped a car load of plums to Cleveland, O., which sold at a fancy price. He intends shipping another car load this week.” Ayer’s Hair Vigor has no equal, in merit and efficiency as a hair dresing and for the prevention of baldness. It eradicates dandruff, keeps the scalp meist, clean, and healthy and gives vitality and color to weak, faded and gray hair. The most popular of toilet articles. The Sedalia Capitol and Gazette, both papers reliably republiean, are in a desperate pencil battle, and the hard names they are calling each other are jaw-brakers to get over. If this controversy had taken place in almost any other town than Se- dalia,, there would certainly be a mixing of republican editors and a job for the undertaker. W. P. Wagoner, a member of the wholesale druggist firm of Wagoner & Wagoner of Indianopolis was drowned at Ft. Scott Kansas Thurs- day, while bathing in acreek. He was married a month ago and he and his wife had just finished their wedding trip. He left her at Garnett, Kansas and went to Ft. Scott on business for his house. A court house for Cass county is needed badly. To get the neces- sary building’the latest move of the citizens of Harrisonville, in that direction,is offered in a plan to vote a direct tax of 25c on the $100 valu- ation payable in two years. This they think better than issuing $45,- 000in bonds. C ass county needs a court house and the people ought to build one. Dr. Brooks, proprietor of the only hotel at Amoret,and the Philadelphia Construction Co, owners of the property, are having a monkey and parrot time over the possession of the property. The doctor has closed the house to the public and refuses to vacate. The company has taken the matter to the justice courts and gained a verdict while the doctor still holds the fort by changes of venue and an appeal to the circuit court. The town council says the poor man with his little home must foot the bill of the city. Therefore, they issue orders fer a special levy of $1.00 on the $100 After all the poor man is to blame in part as some of them howled themselves hoarse against the occupation tax and voted to put the extra levy on their homes. They should not squeal when the tax collector calls on them for that extra dollar on the hundred. The ceun- cil has obeyed instructions. Sedalia hada big fire the latter part of last week, in the principal part of the business center of the town. Three buildings burned, Warnsley’s merchant tailorings and gents furnishing goods, loss, $10, 000 Van Wagner’s shoe store, loss, $10,000; and Gentry & Cloney Clothing, loss by fire and water $5,000. The conflagration was stopped at the Schicher hotel which algo came yery near burning Three firemen were badly injured. The Warrensburg Journal-Demo- crat, goes into exticacies because Pertle Springs was selected as the place for holding the State Silver Convention. Well, it is a nice com- pliment for a small town like War- rensburg to secure this convention, and it is a stepping stone for some thing better, say the State nominat ing and national conventions A united pull of the people of that town captured the location of the normal school, and built up Pertle Springs. Wondere can be accom- plished in union George Tucker informs us that his brother Will is in St. Louis under | treatment of Dr Green.an eye speci- jalist.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. J.H. Artz. A magnificent supper was spread to which the large num- ber of invited guests did amply jus- tice. We understand the manager of the opera house lost money on the! Gordon entertainment. This is not | encouraging to the enterprise of the) manager in doing his best to give | the people of Butler and the county | a firstclass lecture, worthy the patronage of the public. Never mind, a Tom Cabin show will come along some of these days and then the manager will be able to make up the deficit Fred Payne, the little son of Thomas Payne, near Kansas City, was badly bitten in the face by a mad deg the other day. The dog belonged to a neighbor and the child was sitting on the front steps at it’s home when attacked. A mad stone was applied to the wounds and adhered for nine hours. An officer killed the dog. Another evidence that the worthless curs ought to be killed in every town. It is with sincerest regrets the 1mzs chronicles the serious sickness of Mre. Peter Lane, one of Butler's most esteemed and best beloved ladies. She has been bedfast for the past three weeks and while she is reported at last accounts to be im- proving yet her disease changes so suddenly her devoted husband and many kind friends who are constant- ly at her bedside feel exceedingly anxious. The Tives with the bun- dreds offriends hope to hearof a change for the better and her speedy recovery. Dr. F. M. Fulkersen, desiring to seek a broader field to practice den- tistry has sold his office to Dr. L. Shockey of Warrensburg. Dr. Fulk- erson has had a lucrative practice since locating in our city, and has made many warm friends who will be sorry to learn that he has decided to take his departure, but all will wish him well. He will not leave for a few weeks, and expects to locate either in Kansas City or St. Louis. Miss Mary Welch, teacher in our public schools the past year and re- elected for the coming year has sent in her resignation to the board. Madam rumor has it that Miss Welch has decided to change her name, and in that contingency she is per- fectly excusable in handing in her resignation to the school board. She was a most excellent teacher and the board as well as the patrons of her room regret very much to loose her from our corps of teachers. The Times takes pleasure in intro- dueing to the public Dr. L. Shockey, successor to Dr. Fulkerson, in the dental business. Dr. Schockey comes from Warrensburg, and bears with him the highest recommerda- tions as a dental surgeon, and under his supervisions the prestige and practice gained by Dr. Fulkerson as a first class dentist will be fully sus- tained. The Times welcomes him to Butler and bespeaks for him a liberal share of the public patronage. Asad accident happened in Se- dalia the other day. Farmer Neal drove to town with aload of vegeta- bles and stopping in front of a resi- lence, Harry Crawley, three years of age climbed on the wheel to look in the wagon. Mr. Neal did not no- tice the child and the wagon was started suddenly, when the child was thrown to the ground in front of the wheel which ran over his head crushing the skull in a frightful mauner. Mr. Neal was so sickened at the awful sight of the boy with his brains mashed out that he faint ed several times The Rich Hill Review says Hume is all stirred up over the recent fire in town whiek destroyed the Globe printing office. The charge is made by the Palmers that their enemies did it, and by others it is asserted that the Palmers did it themselves. It is claimed the office was worth $3,000 and there was but $1,450 insurance on it. If this be the case it does not look hardly probable the owners would be guilty of so diabol- ical a crime when they would be the losers thereby. The accuzations need better proof than mere street gossip coming from enemies of the proprietors of the paper. In attempting to board a moving freight train in Sedalia Saturday Sami Hyde, a 14-year old boy met with a terrible accident. He missed his footing and fell beneath the wheels and the skin on the right leg was stripped entirely from the knee to the toes, exposing the bare bone. His right ankle was also; pealed and the foot mashed to a pulp. The doctors feared both feet would bave to be taken off. The boy’s father also lost a leg at about the same place and almost identical- ly in the same mauner a few years ago. : a MADE IN EVERY PARTICULAR Dainty Muslin Underwear Good quality muslin night gowns in yoke, 3 tucks on each sleeve. with embroidery 3 tucks and double row insertion Yoke and sleeve nicely trimmed cents Fine quality muslin night gown, 24 tucks on yoke, 3 tucks on each sleeve.

He is there for his health which is improving. A little son arrived bright and early Monday morning to bless and gladden the editor's home. Mre. Allen and baby getting along nicely. Democrats remember Saturday is the day set for holding your town- ship convention, to select delegates to the county convention. You said through your committeeman you wanted the silver convention, now let us have a big one. Send in your delegates without fail. Every town- ship should be represented. The other day as Mr. John Duan, living in West Butler, was chopping wood with a double edged axe, his little boy 9 years of age, came up behind him unnoticed and getting | too close, was struck in the face, the ax cutting his cheek open to the bone,from the chin to the ear. A half inch closer the blade would have served the jugular vein. It was a close eall for the little fellow. Mrs. Francisco is seriously sick. She has been bed-fast for about two weeks with complication of diseases, and owing to her advan- ced age, 78, and the extreme warm weather we have been having, she has had a severe time Her son John reperts her resting reasonably well Tuesday moraing and having gained some rest during the night by a refreshing sleep, thought her some better.

These gentle- men are the guests of Messrs. Clar- dy & Bruner, Butler's live real estate men. Mr. Harrington is the present postmaster of Ida Grove,Iowa and of course is a staunch and unflinehing democrat. They are here looking up 8 location and in the afternoon were conveyed to the country to take a look at the crops, land and general lay of the country. Mr. Harrington said they were well pleased so far as they had investi- gated and it was possible they would buy if suited ina farm, aad the Tiwzs hopes Messrs. Clardy & Bruner will be able to locate them, as they are both men of means and substantial citizens. Mr. Harring- ton said te the reporter, if I con- clude to come it is possible my six sons will follow andI believe they are all democrats also. Wind, Rain and Wreck. A heavy rain and wind storm is reported at Adrain Friday night,and fora time it appeared the town would be washed away or scattered over the country by the wind. The storm arrived about midnight in the nature of a cloud burst and in the course of an hour, 14 half inches of water fell. The wind blew down trees about town, several freight cars standing on switches were blown onto the main track, causing a collision with the midnight freight and several cars and the engine was badly damaged. Grain in the fields and stocks are also reported to be greatly damaged in that section of the county.
