The town with its present population | and commercial standing is entitled to take another step forward and keep pace with towns in her class. A few days ago A.

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral possesses powerful healing qualities, which | manifest themselves whenever this | remedy is employed in colds,coughs, throat or lung troubles. Its anodyne and expectorant effects are promptly realized. It is a chemical success and a medical triumph. The free silver element in this county is largely in the majority and if the delegates to the Seda- lia convention are not in accord with the sentiments of the major- ity, the silverites will have no one to blame but themselves for not turning out to the township conven- tions. Sheriff Colyer returned from Car- thage Sunday afternoon, having in charge Wm. Hubble. whom Ike Kelley, living 7 or 8 miles southwest of town, charges with the stealing from his house, a watch, shirt, a pair of shoes and various other ar- ticles. As Hubble had on the shirt and shoes when arrested and ac. knowledged to selling the watch it is presumed that Mr. Kelley caused the arrest of the right man. Sherift Scroghen, of Vernon coun- ty bas returned from Evansville, Ind., where he went to bring back the Nassau train robbers, who held up Conductor Trickett’s train some time ago. As the robbers had been indicted at Evaneville for a street railway robbery. the officers refused to give them up. According to the laws of Indiana the two robbers can be sent to the penitentiary for 14 years for the robbery in that state, and in case they get the full penalty the thieves will be pretty well worn out before they get back to Vernon a The people of Nevada are see } “ pe a - ee jat Clinton, while exercising one of | much agitated over the expenses and | judgments rendered against that | town in damage suits against the! city, and from the amount the town | bas paid in this direction it is time the people were waking up to save convention at Hutchinson, decided | the town from baukruptey.

He reported | Andy Owen, who has been confined | to his bed for several weeks witha) severe attack of rheumatism as im- |} proving fast and thought ina few | days he would be about again. In speaking politically Mr. Reeder said | it was his understanding Mr. Owen} intended to enter the field asa can- | didate for treasurer and that his an-‘ nouncement to that effect would ap- pear shortly. | The sensational murder of Chae. | Rodman, of Anthony, Kansas, has finally been cleared up by the con fession of his wife, who says that she hired a man named Clark to shoot him for $50 and that after the | Hart, was arrested at Liberty, Mo., where the two were living together as man and wife. Both were put in jail. When arrested Mrs. Meredith broke down and} said it was her dearest desire to return to her hus- band and children. The public schools of this city have been managed exceptionally well for the past 12 or 14 years; the discipline has been good and the moral and religious training of the pupils has kept pace with the pro- gress of the schools. The board of education has at all times been com- pcsed of our very best citizens and as a rule the teachers with but a few exceptions have been members of the church. Sensational charges against the board or the corps of teachers are regarded very lightly by our people. The sick man knocking at the door of health gets in if he knocks the nght way, and, stays out if he doesn’t. There are thou- sands of ways of getting sick but only one way to get well. Do whatever you will, if you do not put your digestion in good order, and make your blood rich and pure, you will not get well. Rich, pure blood is the only thing that can bring per- fect health. Constipation is a disease of the blood. A large part of all dis- eases are traceable di- rectly to impurities in the blood, and can be cured by eliminating them with Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. The first thing it does is to put the whole diges- tive system into perfect order. It stimu- lates the appetite, excites a copious secre- tion of the digestive fluids and promotes assimilation. It searches out disease germs wherever they may be, kills them and forces them out of the system. The ‘‘Golden Medical Discovery’? has been used with unvarying success for over 30 years.

Mr. Morris, proprietor of the Model Clothing Store, presented the Times office with a handsome sou- venier in the shape;of a match box, for which he has our thanks. As an advertiser the Model is hard to beat, the proprietor is up to date as a merchant and business man. You can bet your last cent that there are no cobwebs hanging in the front door of the Model. Last week J.M Vaughn was engaged in tearing down and removing the lumber of a large frame house from Rich Hill to this city where he will use the material in building a residence in the south part of town. Monday of last week he tells us he loadeda wagon with doors, sash, window caseings etc., and starting the team for Butler and that was the last seen oflumber or driver. In fact he stole the entire load. A few days ago as Mr. Carpenter and Daye Boice, were burning grass and preparing the ground to build a barn near the smelters at Nevada, and when the grass was removed a couple of small mounds were noticed | and digging down about a foot they discovered the skeleton of two! children, one about a year old and the bones of an infant The body of the larger child had been buried in a | piece of carpet.
