Foster, the divorced wife of Judge Foster, of the United States district court for Kansas, died in the poor house near Atche- son, Sunday last.

O Atkeson in referring to the additional levy of 50 cents, said Rich | Hill paid $1.25 and that the citizens ticket to be voted on next Tuesday said they would be willing to put an additional levy of $1.25 on this town if it was necesssary to raise the rev- enue. The two condemned negroes, who were to have been hanged in Kansas City Friday, were granted a stay of execution by the governor until April 22d. There appears to be some doubt in regard to the men and the governor desires to be right before the extreme penalty is meted out. William Mick, a farmer living near Kearney, Mo, burning stalks in his | field, left his little 8 year old girl to watch the fire while he went to his work plowing in another part of the field. The girl’s clothing took fire and before she could get to the house, 100 yards away, was so ter. ribly burned that she died in a short time. é G. M. Balew, one of the very best citizens of Spruce, and one the grand paps of our subscription books ealied and renewed for ‘97. Mr. Balew has been taking the Tres since its first issue and says he could no more get along without its genial weekly visits than he could the plows and cultivators on his farm. Elias Falor, one of the best known and wealthiest citizens of southern Bates, died at his home near Rich Hill Friday after a protracted illness of paralysis at the age of 65 years. He had built the big mill at Rich Hill and owned in the vicinity of that town 3,000 acres of fine land, and was estimated tobe wérth $100- 000. One day last week in crossing the street near the Henton mills Mrs. M. E. Mize dropped a ten dollar bill in the road. The bill fel! into the hands of S. C. Ellis, a farmer living southwest of town. He made the fact known through the columns of the Tives that. he had found some money and in answer to a postal card from Mrs Mize returned the bill to its owner. Here is a case of strict honesty. Elder J. R. Speck, an evangelist of considerable note, is holding a protracted meeting at the Christian church. Elder Speck has just closed a revival at Rich Hill, where he held forth for several weeke, and the meeting was a big success. He is an eloquent speaker and those who tained.

Baker, of Austin, Cass county, has his address changed to Odessa, Mo..baving been transferred to that place by the pleasure of the M. E. church conference recently held at Sedalia. His many friends in this county, where he has preach- ed and was very popular, will be glad to learn he has been placed at a most desirable station and the best wishes of all will be with him for abundant success the coming year. Our old time friend, T. Polk James of Ash Grove, Mo., sends a renewal for his subscription. Mr. James is new engaged ip merchan- dising at Ash Grove, and the Timzs and his many friends in this county will be glad to learn that he is doing a thriving business.

McKIBBENS. Mt. Pleasant Delegation, 16 to 1. At the democratic township con- vention held in this city Saturday, | Judge D. V. Brown was made chair- and Frank Jeter, secretary. |But one set of delegates was pre- sented and the following named | gentlemen were selected to represent this township: Wm. Dalton, John Trimble, W. F. LaFollett, Jno. C. | Morris, W. O. Jackson, E. C. Neal, Geo. Newberry, See, T. L. Fisk, S. H. Fisher, Tom Berryhill, Woodson Ferrell, C. Van- trees and L. S. Paddock. The following resolution was offer- ed by Harvey C. Clark and adopted unanimously: The Democracy of Mt. Pleasant township in mass convention assem- bled heartily and unqualifiedly in- dorse the cause of our faithful rep- resentative in congress, Hon. D. A. DeArmond, and express our appre- ciation of his unswerving devotion to the interests of his constituents, and our gratitude for his able and fearless efforts in behalf ot Democ- racy. 16 to 1 at Rich Hill. The democrats of Oeage held their township convention at Rich Hill Saturday and sent a solid silver delegation to the county con- vention which meets in this city Saturday. Among the resolutions passed was one endorsing the course | pursued by congressman DeArmond and senators Vest and Cockrell, and also the administration of Gov. Stone of state affairs. Mrs. Silas Levy and daughter are visiting relatives in Helena, Ark.

James E. Whitman, a young farm- | er living about eight miles north of Jas. Brown, Jeff | D. D. Peeler, of Hudson township, |is asking the democratic party to nominate him for sheriff. Mr Peeler is well and favorably known | to the democrats of Bates county, | having made a very creditable race |for the nomination for the same office four years ago. He is a strong | man, a consistent and hard working ; democrat, a gentleman who is well | qualified to perform the duties of the | office and would add strength to ithe ticket. Mr. Peeler isa promi- {nent and successful farmer of his section and is held in the highest esteem by his neighbors. He isa clever, honest, conscientious gentle. man, and the convention would make no mistake if it saw fit in its wisdom to bestow this nomination on him. Our old friend J. H. Harman, who | recently sold his fine farm in Sum. mit township and moved to War. rensburg, was in the city the last of the week on business. He took back with him a span of very fine young mules. Mr. Harman was one of our wealthiest, most highly esteemed citizens, a prominent farmer and stock dealer, and a true blue demo. crat. He informs us that he went to Warrensburg to give his children the advantages of the Normal School. The Times regretted very much to lose this excellent family from the county and join with their many friends in wishiog them happinsss and prosperity in their new home. Oscar Reeder called and gave us the following particulars of the death of his father-in-law, Geo. S. West, which occurred principally of old age at his home at Eldorado Springs March 19th. The deceased formerly | lived in Mingo township, this coun- jty, for about fifteen years and is well known by many of our citizene. He was 79 years of age, was born in Wayne county, Kentucky. In early manhood he caught the western fever and in 1836 moved to Missouri and settled in the Platt purchase, | where he remained until the close of ; the war when he came to Bates and j located in Mingo township.
