Some nice prizes given away the 4th by the Butler merchants. Miss Luella Frizelle, who has been teaching at Denver, Col., the past year, is spending her vacation at home. The Pettis county populists have endorsed St. John for seceding from the prohibitionists. The pops are great fellows. The Kansas City Journal accepts the St. Louis platform, and thereby drops its free silver proclivities heretofore adhered to. Nothing sen- sational about that. The gentle rain which fell in this county Monday was much needed and welcomed by all. The ground had become very dry and plowing young corn was a laborious task. Engineer Snyder, of the Emporia railroad, says the rain monday ex- tended into Kansas beyond LeRoy, and at that place the rain fall was much heavier than at this place. J. M. Shepherd, a leading attorney of Warrensburg, Mo., died of cancer of the face last week. He had been afflicted a long time and was a great sufferer from the disease; and no doubt death wasa welcome visitor. Shelt Mudd is as true as steel and any honest man can vote for him with the assurance that he will never have cause to regret it. The criminal classes alone will have cause to fear and regret his election. A while back the republican pas pers had the free silver wing of the democratic party bolting the Chi- cago convention. Now they say the gold standard men will walk out. The contradiction within a month shows what they know about it. It wae anticipated that stocks and bonds would go up as soon as the re publicans put gold in their platform, but they didn’t do it. The holder of stocks and bonds are not so sure of a republican victory, therefore they are going a little slow. At Moberly, Mo., Sunday morning a young man 17 years of age, was shot dead by street commissioner Silk. The difficulty Letween them arose over some cows running at large. Owing to the excitement the murderer was taken to Huntsville and jailed. When « party nominates such a man as Shelt Mudd it is a guarantee that the busizess of the office will be conducted correctly, faithfully jand honestly, that the people will have an obliging. courteous gentle man with whom to deal and a sberiff that all parties can be proud of. A democratic club, 1,000 strong, from St. Louiswill go to the Chicago convention in uniform. The uniform will be white tow linen pants, coat, vest and white cap with broad silver band. The club go in the interest of Bland’s nomination. Kansas City {will also send a club of'500 strong. — The reasoning is good logic. body was found Sunday morning. The wife in escaping from him was badly cut about the neck, the babe was stabbed in the back. Last Friday deputy sheriff Mc Cann took Kate Hanselman to the female industrial home at Chilli cothe, Mo., where she will be con- fined until Jan. let, 1901. The girl is but 16 years of age and the charge upon which she was convicted was street walking and entering houses of ill repute. Everett Dice,a boy about 12 years of age and who had run away from his home at Little Rock, Arkansas, attempted to board a Blair line ex cursion train at Clinton the other day as was passing through the town to Osceola, and he was jerked head long against a cattle guard and his skull above the left eye was fractur- ed. Bad boys generally come’ to| grief sooner or later. The Butler and Amoret base ball teams played at the race track near this city Monday. Now that ie all right, the boys are at perfect liberty to play every day in the week except Sunday, and the Times will be their friend and help enjoy the sport. But we must and will draw the line on Sunday ball playing at or near the city. On account of the rain which set in the game was not played to a finish. The dog assessor is taking the enumeration of the canine race in this city, and is tagging and collect- ing the tax on these animals. If you don’t pay, the dog, if caught run ning at large, will suffer the conse | quences. The best thing to do is to refuse to pay the tax and let the marshal get in his work on about five hundred of them with a double’ barrel shot gun. It would be a waste of ammunition and a little tough on the dog, but a beneficial riddance to the city. When Mr. Kellogg, of Rich Hill, was selected as a delegate to the St. Louis convention he saw it Filley’s way for national when he got to St. Louis he went) Keren’s way. B. Gratz, once said when asked why he changed to be a democrat, “wise men sometimes| change their minds,but fools never.” We suppose if Mr. Kellogg was! pressed for his answer as to his | change of heart in the hour of need he would have a plausable excuse. committeeman, | i The republicans of this county | will tind out on election day tbat the| gold standard platform adopted at! ‘St. Louis was vot a drawing card in; | this county.

The trial of R. D. Hackett, begun Friday was closed Monday at noon and ina couple of bours the jury filed into the court room with a ver- dict of acquital. Hackett was ar- raigned for shooting Jim Hays, the | facts of which have been published in the Times and to rehears them would be no news to our readers as they well know that the shooting was the result of family troubles. A majority of the evidence taken in the case was very dirty and unfit for publication. It is to be hoped now the parties connected with the trouble will bebave themselves and avoid further trouble. The case was proececuted by P. H. Holcomb, and Graves & Clark. Hackett was represeated by Smith & Thurman, by appointment of the court.
