The storm Sunday evening is ree ported to have done from $70,000 to $100,000 damage to property in Webb City, Mo. The streets of the town resembled a river and the store buildings and basements were flood- ed. Many people had to seek safety from the flood by going to the sec- ond stories of their dwellings. C. B. Lewis received a draft Mon- day from the Rich Hill fair associa tion in payment of his services as marshal and ring director for the four days fair recently held in that place. The letter not only contained the draft, but the unanimous tharks of the association for Mr. Lewis’ good work in ring management and his untiring efforts in assisting in making the fair the great success it was. To Mr. Lewis the money the letter contained was a small part to the compliment paid his services by the association. Senator John B. Newberry favor- ed us with a call Friday. He said be was in the city making his ar- rangements to take a pleasure trip, and would be absent about two months. He goes from here to Louisville, Ky., to attend the G. A.

The Times wishes the senator a pleasant and safe trip. A terrific wind storm passed over Emporia, Kansas Sunday evening. The most damage was done at the Normal school building. The new east wing which cost $50,000 and was but lately dedicated, being re- duced to a mass of ruins. The north gable of the building was blown down, and the tin roof rolled up like paper and was carried off balf a block, leaving the entire iuside of Albert Taylor ball open to the storn of rain. The damage to the build- ing is estimated to be $10,000, and| | better citizen lives in the county | it was feared that the wind would | to this city several yeurs ago by a! C.

B. | | Deyerle and Frank Cathran, two! | farmers, became involved in a di |culty in the road near the residence | jof H. H. Wyse, \Mr. Deyerle which resulted in| being dangerously of Catbran. | The exact facts of the affair are | bard to get at, as both the partici- | pants in the affair make contradic- |tory statements as to who was the aggressor. But from Andy Owen, of Grand River town- ship who had Cathran under arrest, that the trouble between the two men took place on the highway near the residence of H. H. Wyse, and a mowing machine the joint property of Wyse and Deyerle was the cause of the trouble. In passing along the road Deyerle came across Cathran using the ma- chine to cut weeds from the side of the road. Mr. D. entered his ob- jections to the use of the machine in this manner. Words passed be- tween the men, and finally they came together, and in the fight which fol- lowed Deyerle was badly wounded by an axe in the hands of Cathran, the blade of which was driven to the hollow in Deyerle’s back just under the right shoulder blade, the wound being the full width of the blade of axe, about 4 inches. The constable said when he saw Mr. Deyerle he was in great pain and about all he would say was, that Cathran came at him with the axe to murder him. Cathran, said the constable.claims that Deyerle came at him with an open knife and that he struck him in self-defense Mr. Owen said Cathran offered to show him where Deyerle had split his coat in the back with a stroke of his knife, but he refused to make the examination. ed somewhat strange how both men could be cut in the back unless they were running from each other. - Mr. Deyerle also had a bruised place on his forehead, and Cathran explained that by saying he was hurt on the head in the scuffle over the posses- sion of the axe. Cathran is a tenant on Dyerle’s farm and came from Cedar county last fall. While Mr. Deyerle is dangerously burt it is thought by the physicians that he will recover. Since putting the above in type, we learn from the prosecuting at- torney that Mr. Deyerle makes the statement that when struck with the axe he was stooping over the ma- chine pulling the lever that threw it out of gear and as the quarrel they had had was settled, he was not looking for or expecting an at- tack. Cathran gave a bond of $500 for his appearance at circuit court. You will profit greatly by look- ing through our immense stock of boots and shoes before you buy. Max Werser. J. W. Hull went to Wakeeney, Kan, the first of the week to look after harvesting and shipping the crops on Mr. W. E. Walton's farms. Mr. W. has about 3,000 acres of ground in cultivation in that section. Conductor Abell, of the Emporia, in speaking of the big storm in Kan- sas, Sunday,says in crossing Neosho river bottom he pulled his train for over two miles through water al most up to the fire box of the engine. Big Creek was also out of it’s banks and things looked mighty scary in crossing the bridge over that stream. The town of Gridley he said was al- most a total wreck, the kypsiness houses were flooded with w@fer and the stock of goods all ruined: The heaviest of the storm eared to be about four miles widé and the like of rainfall was never witnessed before in that locality. The remains of Ethel, 16 years of age, adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Young, of Kansas City, were brought here for burial Sunday afternoon.

The large) attendance of Grand Army men are | nearly equaled by their former ene- | mies, now friends and hosts, the ex- confederates who are fiocking to Louisville from all over the south to | assist the citizens entertaining | their guests. The wind storm which passed over this city Sunday night did no! damage, but it was one of the hard. ! est straight blows that has passed | over Butler in many years. The| wind came from the west and so severe that most of our citizens were aroused from their slumbers and an uneasy feeling prevailed generally. Little or no rain accompanied the | storm and was it just a straight blow from Kansas. in The ex-confederates reunion ane picnic to be held at White's grove, near Butler, on September 28th, | promises to bea very enjoyable affair | Arrangements are being made by | the local camp for the entertainment of a large number of visitors. | Prominent speakers will be there | and the old soldiers wiil recount | over the battles of 30 years ago. These picnics and meetings will do much to keep up a fraternal feeling between these old soldiers. Miss Sue Jones, of this city, and | Walter M. Comstock, of Tipton, | Mo., were married at Mound City, Kansas, Sept. 5th.

Rumor had it that some Kansas City doctors would make an effort ;tosteal the body of Miss Ethel Young, brought from Kansas City and interred in our cemetery Sunday last. The reagon is asserted that the doctors were uncertain of the cause of her death, avd begged hard of the family to let them hold a post mortem. Uncle Kit Divers, our faithful guardian of the city of the dead, has been prepared to give | ghouls a healthy shot gun reception, and has been standing guard at nights since he learned of the con- | templated raid. \WHERE: EXPERIENCE \;COUNTS If anywhere, is in the prep- We find we have doubled our aver- aration of prescriptions. age of them a year since we and be- lieve this to be at least half of those written in this city with- in that period.
