een ane NE TN EXPERIENCE COUNTS If anywhere, is in the prep- aration of prescriptions. We age of them a year since we started in business, and be lieve this to be at least half of those written in this city with- in that period. These figures afford a pret- ty good argument why you should bring such work to us. Our experience adds nothing to ycur expense;but a good deal to your security. H. L, TUCKER. PRESCRIPTION DRUGGIST. Money saved by not having to send your children away from home to be educated, patronize Butler Academy. We know several Bates county boys and girls who are making ar- rangements to attend the state Uni- versity the coming year. That is right, patronize your own state schools. J. M. Catterlin and wife, I. N. Mains and H. E. Percival, left Mon- day for Boston to attend the Knight Templar conclave. Mrs. Percival, who has been spending the summer in the Green Mountain state, will return with her husband. A couple of men from the north part of the state on their way to the Ozark mountains, passed through town Sunday. They said they had better crop of corn in their section than they saw along this part of the state. Oats were selling at 15c per bushel, potatoes 10c a bushel and no sale for fruit at any price. The Appleton City Heraid, one of the best edited, neatest printed and newsiest exchange that comes to our desk, announces that the office has been moved into its new quar- ters, Odd Fellows block, the hand- somest building in the towz, where the editor can be found at home to his friends. T.J. Hendrickson in digging a cistern at his home in West Boone township at a distance of 12 feet struck a small vein of lubricating oil. There is no doubt but that oil in paying quantities exists in that section of the county, and some day the property in that neighborhood will be valuable as an oil boom is liable to brake out at any time. A proposition will shortly be voted on at Nevada to sell the fran- chise of the city to an electric street car company, who propose to sub- stitute electricity for mule service. The papers of the city think the proposition a good one and are urging the citizens to vote for it. Nevada is a pushing little city and electric street cars would certainly attract attention spinning about town. Dr. S. S. Laws, once president of the state university and one of Mis- souri’s best known citizens, is ported hopsiessiy insane at Columbia South Carolina. He went there not long since to take a chair in tke theological seminary.

Haynie Grand Chapter of the State, with other visitors from Clinton and Ne- vada, will be present and assist in |the ceremonies. A pleasant and profitable time is anticipated.—Rec- ord. The sheriff of Vernon county is having a big lot of rock piled near the jail and proposes to put the prisoners to work. That’s exactly what ought to be done in Butler. We have several prisoners at the jail that could be used to a good advan- tage on a rock pile and be made to earn their board. The county court would be doing the tax payers a ser- vice by looking after this matter. Capt. and Mrs. Tygard expect to leave on Friday next for Boston to attend the Tri-ennial Conclave of Knights Templar. They will go on the official train, bearing officers and wives of the Grand Commandery which leaves Kansas City Saturday morning and will reach Boston Mon- day afternoon. It will be composed of sleeping cars and will run through without change. It is said that it will be the finest equipped train which has ever left the state. We wish the pilgrims a pleasant and profitable time.—Record. A drunken negro walked intoa barber shop at Pleasant Hill, the other day and demanded «a shave. The tonsorial artists declined the honor. Whereupon the coon be- cime indignant and threatened to clean out the ranch. The marshal was called in and took his coonship to the lock up. In putting him in the cage the negro got hold ofa shovel and punched the marshal in the face, whereupon the officer drew his gun and put a bullet in the neck of the colored brother. The doctors extracted the bullet and the negro was fined $45 and sent to jail at Harrisonville. D. O. Deacon says the Sunday excursion train had to stop three hours at Little Blue. There was one little store at the station and the fifteen hungry Kansans cleaned the store out completely of every- thing in the eatable line. The water gave out on the train and the ice from the tanks was taken out, bro- ken in small pieces and divided. One Kansan, three miles from Inde- pendeace, lost his bat and jumped after it while the train was going at full speed. He welked tu town and took the dummy for Kansas City, arriving at the park about sundown. In making the leap from the train \his head struck tke ground first aad one side of his face was terribly bruised and skiuned. He narrowly escaped being killed. J. W.

Here an- other coach was hooked on and | about one hundred of our people | joined the party. An accident on the main line prevented the train from reaching the city until the middle of the afternoon. C B. Lewis, left Tuesday for Rich Hili to attend the fair, the company having selected him to act as grand marshal during the fair. No better man in the state could have been selected for the work. When it comes to looking after a fair and superintending the work to be done in and about the grounds, bringing exhibitors and seeing that everything goes on right, Charlie is up to date. He willalso show his fine gray geldings in the carriage horse ring. These animals took the ribbons two years ago and they will carry it off again as they can't be) beat as a carriage team. William Ganther, a young man from Creigk‘on, Cass county, and son of Joe Ganther, appropriated a buggy and team, the property of a Mr. Helm, from the hitch rack at Creighton and securing his sweet- heart, a young lady bout 20 years of age, made for Butler, arriving here in the middle of ths night of Friday. The young worwan was taken to a hotel and Ganther loafed the rest of the night with the nigkt watch.

Fatal Battle in a Court Room. Gainesville, Fla, August 18—A shooting affray occurred in the court room of a Justice of the Peace at Newberry, this county. The fight was caused by asuit which James Bailey had brought suit against L. P. Harold fer rent. Both parties went to court attended by friends, all heavily armed. Bailey won the suit. Hot words followed, and then the factions began firing. At least twenty five shots were fired, and when the smoke cleared away it was found that four men were wounded, two fatally. The wounded are: Willy Bailey, shot in mouth and back, and will die. Turney Harold, shot in jeft lung; will die. James Williams, shot in left arm and groin; may die. James Bailey, shot in hand and shoulder; will recover. The feeling between the factions is bitter, and further trouble is feared.

A Skilled Actuary Secured by the Southwest Association. Manager Halbert, of the South- Western Mutual Life association of this city, has realized for some time that the business of his company was increasing so rapidly that it would b> necessary to secure the services of a »killed actuary and superintendent of agencies to properly take care of the large business, especially as Mr. Halbert was compelled to be, away from the home office a great portion of his time to look after the interests of the association in the different states. To this end Mr. I. P. Mantz, of Peoria, Ill, has been engaged. He is one of the leading insurance actuaries and mathematicians in the United States, being the author of the Compendium of Flexible and Premium Life Insurance, and editor of the insurance department of the National Underwriter. He thorough- ly understands this line of work and will be of great assistance to the South-Western in continuing the good work of establishing the best and soundest life insurance system in the United States, The prompt pay- ment of death losses is one of the winning features, however, of the South-Wes 1.
