Ackerman, one of the big farmers near Hume, and a good friend to the booming Tins, called and renewed. Mr. Ackerman is a regular grabber, he owns one of the largest farms in the county, and in- formed us that he intended to soon increase his real estate possessions by buying another farm. A severe wind storm passed through the county just north of Butler Saturday evening. We un- derstand the framework of a large barn on the farm of Mr. Fall, about one and one half miles north of this city was blown down, and that the two story residence of Wm. Freeman on the opposite side of the road from Mr. Fall’s was moved some two or three inches off its foundation. Jobn Dunn, the poor fellow injur- ed by the premature explosion of blast in a well he was digging in West Butler a couple of wecks ago, is ina very bad condition, and it is thought he can not survive his wounds much longer.

The ice cream supper given in the Lewis building Thursday night last by the ladies of the Gatholic church was a success in every particular. The -evening was perfect for the oc- casion and was enjoyed by the large crowd present.

In the drawing contest Miss Lizzie Murphy received the gold watch. Ex senator J. N. Bradley gave the Times a pleasant and substantial call Tuesday. We were glad to see him looking hale and hearty, and to know he was enjoying good health. The Major is one of the leading far- mers of this county. He is a demo crat of the Jefferson school, and takes a leading and active part in the affairs of the party. He has been twice honored with representing this district in the atate senate, and in all his official acts he has come up to the expectations of his conatitu- ents, acquitting himself with honer and ability. Some of our citizens received unique invitations to the annual commencement exercises of the K. C. School of Law. They were in the form of asubpeena commanding that the party addressed, setting aside all manner of excuse and deley, be and appear at the Lyceum Hall, in Kansas City, on Wednesday evening, | June 23rd to show cause, if any {there be, why the 27 young men, | mentioned in the scheduie, should not have conferred on them the de- | degree of Bachelor of Laws.

Saturday the city council sold a ten years franchise of the city to Henry Reinheimer, who will put in a local telephone exchange. The telephone company give the city 24 per cent of the gross receipts. We understand the local company con- template purchasing the line to Rich Hill. Two burglars entered the resi- dence of Mra. W. D. Thurber, at Warrensburg, a few nights ago, tied her hands behind her, gagged her mouth with her stockings and se- cured several dollars from the room and left. One of the robbers held a razor at Mrs. Thurber’s throat and threatened her with death if ehe § The Bates Co. Elevator Company AT THE BUTLER DEPOT. BINDER TWINE had gone Mrs. Thurber waked her |’ little girl who was sleeping with her and the child removed the gag from her mouth and released her hands. She then gave the alarm and her|. father sleeping downstairs came to her rescue, but the robbers had gone. The lady said she was satie- tied the two burglars were negroes. We understand a little girl seven years of age, living in West Butler, who has been suffering since infancy with what the family supposed to be catarrh in the head, was examined the other day by physicians, and strange to relate a emall screw, such as is used in door knobs, was re moved from her nose. The child had carried this little obstruction in its nose for five or six years. At times its noce would fester and break, and then the pain caused by the screw would lessen, but pretty much all the time it has been a great sufferer. The screw had become eo tightly embedded itself in the flesh that when it wasremoved the blood spurted all over the physicians and attendants. It is hoped that the little girl will now speedily recover. We understand that Robt. De- lancy, living ia the northwest part of the city, has three children sick with scarlet fever. One of the children, a little boy, is said to be very sick. We also understand that notitication of the existence of the disease has not been given by the appearance in & conspicuous place of the usual yellow flag. If we have been misin- formed in regard to above we will cheerfully make correction. If the disease exists as stated, then the board of health should look after the matter and the ordinance bearing on contagious diseases be enforced. Parents whose children are afflicted with a contagious disease should not hesitate a moment to give the public warning at the very earliest possible moment. The physicians say scarlet fever and scarlatina are one and the same thing. The authorities, where the doctors fail to do their duty to the public, cannot be too prompt in taking action. Another Lecture Course. To those who eojoyed the lectures last year and who so kindly aided in makivg the course a success, I wish | toannounce that I have made ar- rangements for another course for the coming winter better, if any dif ference, than last.

Smith j claimed the reward. Sheriff Mudd doubted his story and made en in- | vestigation. He was not long in finding several persons who had seen Smith take the animal from the |rack and rideaway. He confronted | Smith with the facts and locked him ‘up Questioning the thief, he stated ‘be had walked to Amoret, staid all |vight with the railroad agent and | found the mare loose in the street, ,;and having heard of a horse being | stolen at Butler, concluded that was | ‘ the one and brought it in. | Smith is not a stranger to the ; Butler jail as it has not been jong | since he finished a term of 6 months | for etealing dome money from alady. | There is but one way to rid the | country of these horse thieves, mur- derers and highwaymen.
