The Rockyille Reflex reports a serious accident which happened Frank Mekin, of that town. The un fortunate man worked in the flouring mill and while assisting to clear the rolls of a choke his left hand was caught and drawn between the roll ers and mashed to a pulp. Administrator's saleof J. M. Hoag- land estate took place Tuesday at his late farm residence near Nyhart. A number of Butler people attended. The sale was cried by C B Lewis, of this city, champion actioneer of southwest Missouri. Everything brougkt remarkably gcod prices. James Simpson, of Nyhart, took home with him Monday a very fine jack which he had bought of D. A. Colyer. Mr. Colyer says the least colt bred ke this jack last season measured 3 feet and 5 inches at foaling, and that he is an extra fine animals. Ed Salmon the defualting cashier of the defunct bank at Marshfield, Mo., and who jumped his bond of $58,000, and fled to Mexico has been brought back by his uncle, Dr. G. Y. Salmon, of Clinton, ore of his bondsmen, to stand trial. The doc- tor went to Mexico after the young man and persuaded him to return. That was a fine specimen of a citi zens convention at the court house Wednesday night to nominate alder men. The citizen might have been there but the republican was in evidence However, it might have been an accident that every man nominated was a staunch republican. There is no deception about the other ticket, it is labeled democratic. Here is the political standing of the aldermanic ticket, nominated by the citizens convention: J. A. Briggs, janitor for the city ball, staunch re publican; J. U. Bruner, all wool and yard wide republican; Gus Bennert, simon pure republican; Will Scott. republican to the core. The populist that applied is carrying his left eye in a sling. City Ticket- A vote will ba taken in this city Apr] 6th, to elect four aldermen to serve the town. There are two tick ets in the field, democratic and citi- zens. On the democratic ticket will te found the nawes of D L Edring- ton, Ist. ward; Sam West. 2d ward; J. W. Guyton, 3d ward; F. D. Car- penter, 4th ward. On the citizens ticket appears the names of J. A. Briggs, 1st ward: J. U. Bruner, 2nd ward; Gus Bennert, | cheap or exchange for land. Bar-|3q ward; William Scott, 4th ward. It has become a painful fact that in city affairs the business men and tax payers take little or no interest. Especially is tbis true in the matter of selecting nominees to serve as al dermen. Not only a majority of the business men refuse to attend these ward meetings, but worse still they abolutely refuse to allow their names to be used in connection with the office. Under theze cond ticns they have no right to critise the acts of those who attend the conventions and do the very best their judgement dic- tates in selecting men to serve the town. Burglars at Rich Hilt. The residence of W. G. Beasley, jat Rich Hill, was entered by a bold the amount of $150 were carried off Mr. Beasley was greatly surprised on arising Saturday morning to find his coat and vest gone, and with them a diamond pin valued at $100, a gold watch and chaio and some $10 in cash. The cont and vest were found on a salt barrel in the rear of | the residence. The same night the residence of W. B.

Harness Thieves. Tho barness thief is abroad in the land and is getting in his work in the most approved style. He defies the law and spares not. Sunday night, J. C. Hale, recorder of deeds, had a fine set of silver mounted bug gy harness taken from his barn. Also a single set harness well wora, lap robe and horse blanket. The same night the barn ofT J. Butler, about four miles south of town on the Rich Hill road, was en- tered anda good set of wagoo har ness was taken. Tuesday morning Frank Cudde- back and W. H. Ison, farmers living two and one half miles east of town, lost their harness. At the stable of Mr. Cuddeback, the thieves got two sets of wagon harness and one collar, and, at the barn of Mr. Ison, one set of harness and three collars were taken. The two latter gent!emen and Mr. Hale have had cards printed at this office and are making an effort to capture the thieves. This petty thieving is very annoy- ing and the officers over the state should use due dilligence to catch the scoundrels. Since the above was put in type, and just as we go to press, we learn that deputy sheriff Joe Graves and Marshal Hedrick had arrested two men supposed to be the thieves. They were horse traders end moved from place to place in covered wagons. Their wives end children were also placed under arrest. It 12 said three sets of new harness were found in their wagons and thata box containing harness had been shipped to Kansas City. The of ficers-are after the box and will probably get it. Thia box is sup- posed to contain the stolen harness. Agent Burrus at the depot, recog- nized the men as the persons who shipped the box There seems to little doubt that officers have the right parties. They have been camp- ing at this place for several days. GARDEN SEEDS. We Sell Plant Seeds. Just to show you what wecarry in this line, we name the following cab- bage seed which we carry in stock.
