He says the town of Amoret is on quite a boom, and that a land agent or colonizer from Chicago bad been in the town and had created quite a sensation in that section by proposing to buy about 2,000 acres of land on which he proposed to locate a large num- ber of Hollanders. United States senator Chandler makes tho bold charge that McKin ley’s campaign manager, Mark Han na, has been levying contributions upon the protected manufacturers of the east, in the interest of Me- Kinley’s presidential campaign, and further declares that McKinley's canvass has been one of boodle from start to finish.

Saturday was republican day iu Butler, and vbe large gathering of | the faithful in this city brought to mind recollections of the days of Drakeism, disfranchisement and re construction. The object of the meeting was to select delegates from this county to the Warrensburg dis- trict convention which selects dele- gates to the national republican con- vention. There were two candidates placed in nomination, for national delegate F E Kellogg, of Rich Hill, and Frank Hamilton, of Adrian. The ballot by townships result ed: Hamilton, 36 and Kellogg 41. The opera house was packed to the doors by republicans and democrats to hear Hon. Webster Davis of Kansas City, republican candidate for governor,pour gail and vitrol upon the heads of demo crats and the demoeratic adminis- tration. Mr. Davis is a very pleas ant and smooth talker, and his vin- dictive denunciation and oratorical flights evidently tickled his sympa thizers, as they cheered him to the echo. At the conclusion of the speech a Times reporter asked a good republican what he thought of Mr. Davis. ‘Oh,’ said he, “he abused ths democrats and lauded the republicans, and you know that pleased us” A good definition of the speech.

Andrews put spurs to the horse and managed to cling to the saddle ustil he reached the nearest farm house, where he gave the alarm and his wounds were dressed. A posse started in pursuit of the would be assassin, but failed to effect a cap- ture. Andrews is the principal witness against the Mays, who are now in jail here, charged with the murder ot a farmer by the name of Burdette, who lived in Sugar Lake neighbor- hood.
