His health is remarkably good considering his age. Our good old democratic friend W. S. DeBolt, adheres to his yearly custom of remembering us witha renewal. He is at Altoona Kansas. Sheriff Mudd was notified that thieves entered the hardware and furniture store of Eli Griggs, at Rockville, Sunday night and took a number of razore. John M.

A reward of one thousand dollars has been cffered for the arrest and conviction of the murderer or mur- derers of Carrie J. Mattingly, who was killed at Miami, Mo., Sept. 9tb, 1897. The democratic state executive committee will meet in St Louis next Monday for the purpose of naming a place and date for holding the next state convention. D. E. Wykoff and I. N.

One of the horses found in his pos- session belonged to a liveryman at Higginsville, and the other horse was the property of T. Knox a liveryman of Warrensburg. Why did the Honorable Tom Wat- son absent himself from the national convention of the middle-o-the-road- ers? A nomination may go on a wild hunt for a candidate before the Cox eyites subside, and if it should it would lose its wind before reaching Georgia.— Republic. The state supreme court of Ar- kansas has decided that first cousins cannot live together as man and wife in that state even though they were married in another state. It ought to be made a penitentiary offense ia every state in the union for first cousins to marry. Mrs. Wm. Hurt is seriously siek. Last week a couple of Kansas City physicians were called and they de- cided that relief could only be se- cured by a surgical operation. At the present tims she is in a critical condition, with but little hopes entertained for her recovery. Springfield wants the next demo- cratic state convention and a delega- tion of her citizens will be sent to St. Louis to pursuade the committee to favor the town. Springfield isa nice little city and no doubt would entertain the delegates to the con- vention handsomely. But there is one drawback to holding the convention down there and that is location, a little too far from the center. The Rich Hill papers tell of the killing of Ed. Fiagg, brakeman, in the Memphis yards of that city last week while trying to couple cars. He was caught between the draw- heads of an engire and car and crushed to death- He was 28 years of ageand leaves a wife and one child. He was buried at Pleasanton Kansas, his former home. Henry Goodwin, residing in the northwest part of town, was taken sick quite suddenly Wednesday night of last week, with a severe hemorrhage and bled freely. Since then he bas had one or more kem- orrbages. Friday and Saturday the attendiog physician, Dr. Boulware, feared the case was bordering on typhoid fever. He is come better now ard it is hoped he will speedily recover. Walter Zimmerman, aged 17 years, has been arrested for theft and con- fined in the Kansas City jail. He has become a confirmed criminal from the excessive uee of cigarettes. His parents are well-to-do and highly respected people of Kensas City and the young man has had the best of training and surrounded by the purest and most elevating influences from boyhood up. Another warning to boys to drop the deadly cigarette. Tie noted Sam Jones lectured in Butler Monday night at the Opera House to a large audience. He was advertised to lecture on ‘“Saweiety,” but changed his subject to “Man and Money.” On this account a good many people were Cisappointed. Mr. Jorves said many good things, and be said much that might and should |have been left out of a public lec- | business, his long tirade on prohibi- tion and his roast of the town.

He sent a letter of re grets, however, but it was either | lost on the road or dropped in the waste basket, as it was neither read nor published in the proceedings. We had a very pleasant call from F.S. Hammond, of Maysburg, on Saturday. We found him a very pleasant gentleman. He has been taking the Tres for the past 18 years and this was the first time we had the pleasure cf meeting him. The many Butler friends of C. R. Walters, editor of the Rieh Hill Review, will be sorry to learn that he is quite sick. Mr. Walters, we understand, has been confined to his room for the past week or ten days The Times sincerely hopes that his sickness will be of short duration, and that he will be up end at his post in a few days. The Maryland senatorsbip seems to be hungup. Eleven republicans refuse to b3 governed by the caucus and the republican legislature is short on votes without these kickers. It may be the barrel will be opened in time and the beiligerents corralled. The silver forces of Oregon have agreed to pool issues and stand united against the Republicans and gold standard Democrats Free silver Republicanc, Populists and Union parties will all hold their state con ventions at Portland March 23d,and put a united ticket in the field. A communication from Lone Oak mentions the name of Q. M. Burk hart, Justice of the Peace of that township, as a suitable man for Judge of the south District, ss the name of the writer does not saccom- pany the communication we are un- able to give it publication. Cards announcing the marriage of A. B. Ludwick and Miss Roberta Catron, at the Christain church in this city,on January 26th at 9 o'clock am. A wedding breakfast at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Catron, after which they will go to their home in Kaneas City. Tramps are numerous in town this week. The city has been fairly overrun by hoboes. The ladies have been greatly anroyed by these knights of the road and the nuisance is becoming unbearable. Monday no less than five tramps called at the home of one widow lady and asked forahandout. The Tres has been asked to call public attention to this matter and inquire of the officers of the town if something cannot be done toward getting rid of road walkers and dead beats. Ten days on arock pile and bread and water will have salutary effect on the hoboes. Will the ofticers do their duty. The Truzs omits Harvey Clark from the two years lst of officers who, it says, will likely be renomi- nated. The four year fellows seem to be doomed, and it would appear that the blood has not been spattered upon the side posts of Harvey; nor upon those of Juiges Kemper and Coleman. Hence they will not be passed aver.—Free Press. The Times but referred to the long established custom of the Dem- ocratic psrty in this county in re nominating the two year term offices without opposition. We do not) believe Mr. Clerk will bhava any} opposition, for, besides the repsons | given above, he bas mate one of the most efficient, fearless and aggressive prosecutiog attorneys the county) ever had. Both Judges Coleman! and Kemper have good records as county judges, as we have had occa- sion to point out on more than one! j year Cree DALE DNATAA HALF PRICE | dba ; § 3 AT MchIBBENS. ; ; 35 00 Overcoats for $2 50 at Pr ? » 50 Men's Underwear 25 at ; r 25 Men's Underwesr 13 at § ; 5 00 Suits 2 50 at 3 g 25 Caps 13 at " » 10 00 Jackets 5 00 at ; 5 00 Jackets 3 50 at 5 00 Blankets 2 50 at q ) 4 00 Blankets 2 00 at 4 > 3 00 Blankets 1 50 at 2 90 Elankets 1 45 at $ 75 Fascinators 38 at $ 50 Fascinstors 25 at ; ) 1 50 Cloaking 75 at 3 $ 75 Eiderdown 38 at “ é 3 50 Eiderdown 25 at “ { 2 50 Mutts 1 25 at - | At Mcl<ibbens. | areata We notice that candidates for | Sheriff Hamlin ot Miami county, | county officers in Cass have begun to announce in the papers. There's no question about it. Hood's Sareaparilla is the best blood purifier. This is proven by its wonderful cures of blood diseases. | The Warrensburg Star says: “It begins to look as though Albert Morrow is going to have some op- position in his race for Secretary of State. Colonel John A. Knott, edi- tor of the Hannibal Morning Jour nal, is nursing a little boomlet all his own, which is gradually gaining ground as the days go by. Mr. Knott is one of the most prominent Democrats in the State, and a mem- ber of the State Democratic com- mittee. The office could not go to &@ more worthy man than Mr. Knott, though the Star is always in favor of home institutions (or home men, in other words) first.” Washington, Jan. 14.—The fight of the Democratic postmaster at Mobile for retention in office has been transferred to Washington. The manner in which this Demo- crat was ousted is interesting. Three Post Office Inspectors went to Mobile and under the pretext of examining the accounts of the Dem- ocratic postmaster, and stayed in the office until after midnight and were in possession the next morning. Having this possession, they admit- ted the Republican postmaster and swore him into office. The retiring postmater alleges that this action was illegal and has filed application for eslary beyond that time.

Altgeld of Illinois says: | “Prosperity does not simply mean | employment. Employment may mean disaster if the employed are receiving starvation wages and are paying monopoly prices for necessaries. After one year of republican party prosperity, the poor are crying for bread, and the rich are seeking en- tertainment. In Cook county alone there have been more mortgages foreclosed, more homes swept away, | than ever before in the history of the county. Three hundred mort- gages a week is the pitiful record of foreclosure during this prosperous But the monopolists have | prospered The pawnbrokers and | money sharks haye prospered.

S. Mails by levying on a pas wenger eogine in execution of a judgement. The sheriff would have shown better judgement by levying on a freight engine on a siding. The Nevada Mail tells of a remark- ably fast run made bya speeial train from Parsons, Kansas, to Appleton City last Thursday night. Mr. Fred Egger, a wealthy banker of the lat- ter place was injured by a horse falling on him. Shortly after the injury teatnus. or lock-jaw set in. Once this was regarded as fatal, for medical science had no remedy to relieve the rigid muscles. This con- dition is caused by a baccilli,,or germ, whose life is induced by cer- tain classes of injuries, and with the discovery and growth of the anti- toxin or serum treatment for viru- lent diseases, came the discovery of an anti-toxin whose properties offset and killed the deadJy tetanus germ. So when the tetanus developed in Mr. Egger the firat thought of the physician was to obtain some of the precious anti-toxin. This was not so easy todo. The liquid, which is an apimal secretion, and which is injected under the skin, must be ob tained fresh from the places of cul- ture. After much telegraphbing it was found that Parsons was the closest point at which it could be obtained. The ruc of 101 miles was made in the brief time of two kours and thirty-five minutes, that science might save a human life. A January Sale.
