It missed George Wash- ington day by a few minutes, but much nearer than his father can ever hope to be. J. E. Shutt’s horse took fright Friday evening as he was going home, at some boys playing with paper ribbons in the street, made a sudden turn threw Mr. Shutt out of the buggy and made a total wreck of the vehicle. That the blood should perform its vital functions, it is absolutely nec- essary it should not only be pure but rich in life giving elements. These results are best effected by the use of that well known standard blood-purifier, Ayer’s Sarsaparille. Grandpa Abell has taken advan- tage of the pretty weather and be- gun to make garden. Notwithstand- ing bis advanced age, he is the most scientific gardner in this section and as a general rule his table is supplied with vegetables from one to two weeks ahead of the city gardners. Dr. King, of Kansas City, says there is no need of fear from other towns in regard to the small-pox at Pleasant Hill, that the disease will be stamped out in that town in ten or eleven days. The patients are under strict quarantine and there is no danger whatever of the disease spreading. The Ties is glad to know that Mr. Ellinger, the north side dry goods merchant, has decided to re- main in Butler. His large adver- tisement in this issue will explain to our readers that he will increase his large stock of goods, and be ready for the spring trade with all the are reported to exist in the town. The public schools have been closed, also the Planters hotei, where the disease broke out, and the town has been quarantined by the state board of health. The disease wag intro duced in the towr by a stock man named Pratt, from Texas, stopping at the Planters hotel. Two farmers, Will Thomas and Bunk McGinnis, over the river north- east of town, became involved in an altercation Saturday over a small sum of money. McGinnis felled Thomas with a neck yoke and then drew a pistol and was in the act of shooting him when Mrs. Thomas and her daughter unarmed the fren- zied man, so it is reported. He then broke and ran and has not been seen since.—Rich Hill Review. Frank Harris and Foster Pollard are sentenced to be hanged in Kan- sas City on March 16. It will be the first double hanging in the State since the Talbott boys were hung in Maryville, Nodaway county, for the murder of their father, Dr. P. H. Talbott. In 1853 two men were hung on the same scaffold in Pattee Town, St. Joseph, who had whipped Auctioneer Willard to death, a mile from that city.—Ex. Smith & Potter, horse and mule buyers of this city, inform us that they have, on an average, shipped a carload of horsesand mules to the Kansas City market each week since September last. Mr. Smith says Butler is kown to be the best mar ket for the above animals in this sec- tion of the state, and is so recogniz- ed at Kansas City. You can always sella good animal to the Butler buyers who have headquarters in this city the year round. Congressman Burton will require the application of all his oily arts to explain to his constituents, satisfac- torily, some of his votes in Congress For instance, he will undertake a very difficult task to explain why he jumped to the crack of the party jand voted against the Senate’s free | | coinage substitute for the bond bill. | Had Charlie Morgan been there, bis leading novelties and perfect styles.

They come from Battle Creek, Iowa, and both are staunch democrats. The people of this sixth congres- sional district were never prouder of their member of congress than at the present time. The course of Mr. DeArmond has not only won additional admiration from his dem ocratic constituency, but from the rank and file of all other rorties. Of course the jealousies of opposing politicians crop out but the more! conspicuoucly by reason of his gen- eral approval from the people.— Dade Co. Advocate. For the firet time in fifty years England has made the discovery that the United States has a government and has a president who means what he says and says what he means. The discussion in Parliament show that the English people didn’t sup- pose President Cleveland would show his teeth in discussing the Monroe doctrine, but he did show them very plainly, and England thinks he bas pretty good teeth after all.—Clinton Democrat. Mayor Webster Davis, of Kansas City, is losing ground asa candi- date for governor on account of re cent developments. A Times report er discovered that Davis’ father had a job at $2. day as watchman fora shanty and lumber pile worth about $4, where his sole duties seemed to be carrying beer and consuming it in company with a street inspector, | who gets $3 a day and a horse hire for helping old man Davis drink the beer. ‘Lhe reporter printed his dis- coveries, and then a brotber of the mayor showed up as clerk in the city hall, where he punched the pa per man’s nose for talking about the old man. Such things have a ten- dency to make « Statesman ridicu- lous and to sour on his boom.— Pleasant Hill Gazette. Big Deal in Mining Property, Deadwood, 8S. D.,, Feb. 19.—The biggest deal in mining property in the history of the Black Hills was concluded yesterday. For several months past a New York syndicate bas had a bond on a large block of producing mines and after paying Messrs. Hague and Daggert $30,000 to expert it were satisfied with the property, but could not raise the amount of the bond, which was $3, 000,000. A compromise was made to day whereby the New York par | ties paid over $1,100,000 for one-| third of the capital stock of the com-| pany.
