We want to thank the people of Butler and Bates county for the large trade they are giving us. We also want to thank them for waiting so patiently until we can wait op them, all this we appreciate, and there is no one that strives harder to please the people and make the low- eat prices possible than we do. We are now arranging our store to make it more handy and more room, so we can accommodate our trade in better shape. The people know that we make the prices, and that some others follow on a few things, be- cause they have to, and we will con- tinue to make the prices as long as the people stay by us, as they have in the past. While our trade is double now what it ever has been, 80 are we selling on half the profit. We do not make prices one day and change them the next day, as some do. Another thing the people have learned, that you buy goods as cheap from us when you bring us your produce as though you brought the cash, which you know some don’t do. We have more goods in our line to select from than anv two stores in Butler, and we are daily adding dif- ferent lines to our stock; and do you notice when we add something new to our stock, how quickly the price drops. You could not buy the shoe- makers stand and three lasts for less than 75c; we bought them and put the price 35c. Same way with our axes, barb wire, chicken netting and hundreds of other things which we have lately added to our stock. We are still selling everything at same price we advertised them last time, except a few things which we have cut still lower. | Cuffs, Kid Gloves and Veils. Hats and all goods on display at MRS.

Sheriff Mudd went to Jefferson City Monday with the seven prison ers convicted at the term of court just closed. Those he took down there were: Frank Smith, convicted of bur- glary, sentence, three years. M. J. Boyer, assault with intent to kill, two years. Frank Carson, burglary, two years. Wm. Orr, highway robbery, five years. Harold French, grand larceny, two years. James Brannaman, burglary, three years. Jno. Ackman, burglary, two years. This is the largest number ever convicted here at one term of court, and cleans out the jail, with the ex ception of Jno. Young, accused of murder and whose trial was contin- ued until June. Deputies Joe Graves and D. D. McCann accom. panied tho sheriff. M. J Boyer was tried Wednesday for assault with intent to kill, was found guilty and given two years in the penitentiary. Boyer’s crime con sisted in shooting at his father-in- law, J. A. Wade, at Rich Hill, last month. Boyer had left his wife, and there had been trduble between the families, and he had been ordered not to come about Wade's place. On the day of the difficulty he went there, he says, to get his baby. Wade ordered him to leave and put him out of the house, when Boyer drew his pistol and shot at him ‘through the window, but did not hit him. The occurrence happened while the grand jury was in session, Beyer was lodged in jail and indict- ed next day, and just a month later was tried, convicted and sentenced. Attorney J. F. Smith defended and made a hard fight for his client but the evidence brought out by the prosecuting attorney was so over- whelming that the jury found him guilty. Frank Smith, charged with bur- glarizing the house of H. C. Van- sant near Hume last month, was tried Friday and convicted and his | punishment assessed at three years inthe pen. The evidence against him was all circumstantial, but so jeases. They did not allow them- selves to lose sight of their obhga- the laws were enforced and crim- \inals punished, and they are entitled to the thanks of the citizens of the county for their unswerving devotion to the interests of law and order. This is as it should be, and the Tings joins with all good citizens in thanking them. When juries do their duty like the present one bas, \criminals will learn that in Bates means that the offender will be pun- ished. Their promptness in con- victing where the guilt was proven was universally commended, and we only hope that Bates county will have many such juries. * The record made by Prosecuting Attorney Clark during the term of court just closed is without a prec- edent and the Ties congratulates him on his splendid success and the county on having such an official He has not lost a single case, and bas secured twenty-one convictions, of which number he sent seyen to the penitentiary. This is the largest number ever sent to the pen at one time from this county. Thisisa record of which not oniy Mr. Clark but the people of the county have reason to be proud and to congrat- ulate themselves.

The Lowest Priced Grocery, Hardware and Implement House in Butler. We have made you prices that have brought us your trade, for which we thank you very kindJy. If the people of Bates county and But ler will continue to trade with us as liberally in the future as they have since the first of the year, we will be enabled to sell you goods through. out the year for much less money than you have ever bought them be fore. No store in Butler can sell you goods cheap unless they havea big trade, and no store can have a big trade unless they have the goods to sell. We have both, so why not give us all of your trade.
