In obedience to a telephoned mes sage from Marshal Beaty. of Rich Hill, deputy sheriff Joe Graves pa trolled the depot grounds and rail road track as far as the junction Monday morning. in search of a tramp who bad stolen a suit of ciothes at Panama, a station south of Rich Hill. The tramp was seen headed for Butler, but being aware of the fact that Butler has vigilant officers he switched before reaching this place, and thereby evaded arrest for the time being. County supervision of public achools was knocked out at Jeffer son City by the luw makers. The bill ought to have been killed. Coun ty supervision simply means the creation of an unnecessary office, for some fellow to warm his shine at public expeuse and draw a salary.

The Trwes office fared pretty well, however, while the legal battle was on, and in all did about $500 worth of brief work for Mr. Gage in the several trials of the case. The Trves takes pleasure in pre- senting the name of Jeun B Harper ler, aud that he would offer advice to the city authorities that they keep them in better fix Mr Kimble’s suggestion is a good one, but he must remember that Butler is a real live. pushing, energetic town, and that where so much travel is had and business done it is a pretty bard matter to keep the streets in prime condition during a severe spell of wather like we have had the past two weeks. The Best Way to Cure Disease is to establish health Pure, ricb blood means good health. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the one true blood purifier. It tones up the whole system, gives appetite and strength and causes weakness, nerv ousness and pain to disappear No other medicine bas such a record of wonderful cures as Hood’s Sarsapa rilla.
