BUTLER WEEKLY TIM J. D. ALLEN Eprror. ra J TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: D. ALLEN & Co., Ptoprietors. The Weextry Times, published eyery Thursday, will be sent to any address one year, postage paid, for $1.00. Meeting of the Democratic Central Committee. Notice ‘s hereby given that there will be held & meeting of the Demo- cratic Central Committee at the Court House in Butler on Saturday, Feb. 19, 1898, at 1 o’clock p. m., for the purpose of fixing time and man- ner of choosing democratic nominees and place where convention shall be called; also to transact such other proper business as may come before the Committee. Every member is urged to be present. Tuos. L. Harpzn, Chairman. W. F. LaFourert, Secretary The President decided to send the Postmaster’s commission at Oarrolton, Mo., to Alvin Goodson. The Teller resolution was killed inthe House by a vote of 132 to 182. But one Republican voted for it. Col. Kerens’ patience is exhaust- ed. He says that he will not take part in any more Post Office appoint- ments. Chairman Jones says that only the Democratic National Committee can remove Harrity from member- ship. Representative Green of Nebraska has introduced an antitrust bill which deals with the question in ex plicit terms. Senator Carter introduced a bill granting to Oansadian miners in Alaska the same rights that Amer- icans receive in the Northwest Terri- tory. The democratic party does not expect to lose its next fight, but if success is to be obtained at the sacrifice of principle they prefer to lose. A party courageous enough to cast aside the powerful leaders who pleaded for any kind of concession at Chicago and enter a national campaign without the promise of a dollar or the liklihood of obtaining enough funds to legitimately con- duct its campaign is beyond the reach of the corrupting influence which is suggested by the presenta- tion of Tammany’s Mayor for Presi dent.—K. O. Times The Trugs is for Billy O. Jackson for State Senator. It might go far- ther and fare worse. ‘They say” that Mr. Jackson is the only true blue frea silver attorney—thick and thio, in Butler. If so, there is noth- ing too good for him, in the estima- tion of the free silver democrats of Bates.—Record. You are wrong, Bro. Austin. We had supposed that Mr. Jackson could read his titles clear to being an original free silver advocate, but from last waek’s Demoorat, we see that he failed to apply to tha proper parties for his certificate, so he too, is marked for slaughter. Sd Congressman DeArmond bas been doing noble service in his recent efforts to force the republican mem- bers of Congress to show their hands on the Cuban question. But; so far, about the only thing he has accomplished in this direction is to make it publicly apparent that they do not intend to show their hands as long as they can help it; and with Reed in the chair, it is probable they can help ita longtime. Every time the question is sprung in the House, all the members on the republican side have the jim-jams —Lamar Democrat. The question of fusion with the Populists and silver Republicans will | come up for settlement before our State convention this year. If the recent edict attempted to be promul- gated in this county, that no man is eligible for a nomination on the democratic ticket who was not in sympathy with the majority be- fore the party adopted its platform, is to be the established be chary about expressing their views on the fusion question until | after the State spoken.’ convention has ES} | eireuit judge by that paper. rule, | then aspiring democrats had better | HAVE NO CANDIDATE- For the benefit of our esteeme contemporary we wish to eay that {Tue Tres has no candidate for Cir- 'euit Judge. nor for avy other office, | We believe in| | fair play, however, and that true and | {in district or county loyal democrate should have «qual | standing before the party for vomi- | mations This treatment is being |denied one of the eandidates for Under the cloak of party loyalty it has | singled out Mr. Graves for slaughter, | pretendedly basing its opposition on his attitude on the money question before the party had officially de clared on that issue. That paper well knows that a number of gentle men are now seeking democratic nominations who were as pronounced in their opposition to the ratio adopted as was Mr. Graves, and yet | ne reference is madeto them directly or indirectly through its columus Would not this smack of an ulterior motive, to the thoughtful, even if that paper's bitter and uncompro- mising hostility to Mr. Graves was not well known inthis couaty If either Mr. Smith or Mr. Silvere, the other gentlemen whose names are mentioned in connection with the circuit judge’s race, were assailed day after day ona pretext of this kind, as Mr. Graves has beea, Tue Times would give them loyal defense No, we have no candidates; or favor- ites, but we propose to see that equal and exact justice is done all good, true and loyal democrats. OOMEDY OF ERRORS. “Col. Wade, of the Butler Times,is for Gov. Stephens for United States Senator. In 1896 Col. Wade wasa staunch advocate of Gen. Jo. O Shelby for Goverpor.”—Col. Sam Cook in Mexico InrrtiiceNcer The Butler Tres had not been a friend of the late Gen. Shelby since young Joe ran for sheriff in 1890. We had the honor to be his intimate friend. We loved the old hero and do now cherish and revere his mem- ory. We had advocated him tor Governor before the silver question arose. He followed Cleveland and was compelled to give him up. No matter what he did, what he ad- vocated, what he believed, what he said, we were his friend and we do not apologizs to anyone for it. Oowards only speak when such as he arein their graves. Our high personal regards for Col. Cook, the Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee of the State, is an indi cation that we do not include him io that list —Butler, (Mo) Democrat. We have endeavored to subordi- nate self to the advancement of the Times and its influence for good. The above is evidence of how well we have succeeded. We are not mad, however, at Ool. Cook's error. We simply disclaim any responsibil- ity. Col. Wade is entitled to the creditand shall have it. But we are ata loss to understand Ool. Wade's irritability at the mere men tion of the well known fact that he was for Gen. Shelby for Governor. Are we to infer from the above that the statement, that Col. Wade was for General Shelby for Governor,is a reflection on the General, and that Col. Cook is a coward for offending fo this manner? The notice from the Intelligencer and the comments by the Democrat are very confusing to us. The Bourrer Tres is earnestly urging the nomination of Hon. W. O. Jackson, of Butler, for State sen ator from the Sixteenth senatorial district. The district is composed of Bates, Cedar, Henry and St. Clair counties and has a reliable demo cratic majority. The Tres urges the nomination of Mr. Jackson be- cause of his eminent fitness for the position and the demands of his high legal attainments in the next session of the State legislature, it being a revision session. Mr. Jackson isa member of the present Democratic | State Central Committee. He is an able lawyer, a fearless representative | of the great eilver cause, and in every | way a man of the people. He would | make a faithful representative of the people.—Nevada Mail. Jadge Withams Sworn in. Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 1.— Judge W. M. Williams, appoioted by Governor Stephens to succeed Judge Shepard Barclay on the Su- preme bench, arrived here at 2:30 to-day and was immediately sworn | chambers of the latter. An informal meeting of the judges was then elected chief justice. Judge M. B. |McFarlane was elected presiding judge of division No 1. This action will be announced from the bench when the court en banc meets to- morrow. |Pains Have Left! | They Were in Arms, Shoulders | | and Limbs—Began Taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Now Does All Her Work. “1 was troubled with pains in the small | | of my back and they spread to my arms, | shoulders and limbs.

C, Jan. 28— After a debate, animated at all times and occasionally acrimonious, which occupied the greater part of the week, the Senate this evening, bya decis ve vote of 47 to 32 passed the Teller concurrent resolution. The resolution is a practical reaffirmation of that of Stanley Mathews, in 1878, and is as follows: That all the bonds of the United States issued, or authorizad to b3 issued, under ths said acts of Con- gress hereinb2fore recited, are pay- able, principal and interest, at the option of the government of the United States, in silver dollars of the coinage of the United States, containing 412} grains each of stand- ard silver, and that to restore to its coinage such silver coins as a legal tender in the payment of said bonds, principal and interest, is not in vio lation of the public faith nor in derogation of the rights of the pub lic creditor. All efforts to ammend the resolu tion were votei down by majorities ranging from five to twenty nine, Mr. Lodge’s gold standard substi- tute being defeated by the latter majority. The vote on the Lodge ameniment wae: Ayes, 24; naye, 53. HOUSE FOR GOLD. Obeys Orders and Rejects the Teller Resolution, Washington, D. C, Jan. 31 — Da feat of the Teller resolution in the House this afteraoon under gag rule which limited the debate and allowed only fragmentary discussion of the question was as mucha vic tory for the Demcerats as for the Republicans It made ciear the issue in the House It demonstrated that the Democrats are for free silver and the Republicans are for a single gold standard. The vote by which the resolution was defeated—182 to 132—was a strictly party vote, with the excep- tion of Mr. Linney of North Caro- lina, who voted with the Democrats, and White, the negro Congressman, who dodged. All the Democrats and Populists voted forit and the Republicans against it. “The country is to be congratulat- edin one respect. The monetary issue is no longer obscured with doubt and uncertainty. The battle of the standards is stillon. The Re- publican party is now unreservedly committed tothe gold monometa!- lism. The campaign of 1898 will| provean easy victory for the Demo- |erats, but the supreme contest is to} be in 1900, when the forces of silver | will conclusively triumph.”"—A M. Dockery. “The right to pay in silver dollars being a contract right, the Teller resolution can not be open to ob | jection, unless the objector insists |upon giving the government eredit- ors more than they have any legal! right to ask. The Republicans are! stripped at last of their deception | and the people can deal with them.” —David A. De Armond. WITH GUN MASK AND LANTERN. John Kenndey Found Unconscious Near His Home.

J MANY LIVES 2Z.OST When Kennedy was taken to police} headquarters the police were aston- ished to find that he was wearing | earried a lantern, | false whiskers, had a black mask in his pocket, wore a 45-caliber revolver and car- ried a shotgun, which he had taken apart. When he recovered consci- ousness, further than to say that he was going hunting, The police are holding him for investigation, but they do not know what charge they can place against him Kennedy declared that the hors3 he rode be- longed to Ed Eylar, a liveryman, but Eylar says the horse is Ken- nedys The snimal is of good stock, just the horse for a long ride across country. Kennedy was accused of robbing the Chicago and Alton’s St. Louis express on tha night of Thanksgiving Eve in 1896, and of the robbery of ths same train on the Christmas Eve following. The evi- dence against him was very strong, The engineer positivly identifying him. But on the first trial the jury disagreed and at the sacond trial the jury acquitted him. There is still an indictment hanging over him and on this he may be tried. At both trials Kennedy had plenty of money for his defenss. It was generally admitted that the first Alton robbery netted the robber, whoever he was, at least $25,000. A Clever Trick. It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it.

Arn Arbor, Micb., Nov. 20, 1893.- “We have had Ingersoll, Ingalls and a host of illustrious orators in our course, but never in the history of the Students’ Lecture Association has orator eo captivated his audi- ence as did Jobn Temple Graves in ‘The Reign of the Demagogue.’ Much was expected of this eloquent Southerner, but he surpassed every expectation.

When some friend suggests that your blood needs A sarsaparilla treat- ment, remember that A stands for AYER’S. The first letter in the alphabet stands for the first of sarsaparillas ; first in origin, first in record, first in the favor of the family. For nearly half a century Ayer’s Sarsaparilia has been curing all forms of blood diseases—scrofula, eczema, tetter, rheumatism, erysipelas, blood poi- soning, etc. There’s a book about these cures —“ Ayer’s Curebook, a story of cures told by the cured,” —which is sent free on request, by Dr. J. C. Ayer, Lowell, M: The book will interest you if you are sick or weak, because it tells not what it is claimed the remedy will do, but what your neighbors and | fellows testify that it has done. Will it cure you? It has cured thousands like you. Why not you? Kennedy refused to talk) | Worst Bsizzard in TWenty-Five | Sw-eps New England. Boston, Mas:., Feb. 1.—Havock the New Eog- | | was wrought along jland coast and throughout these} {00+ several States today by one of the in this part of the counsry. een people are believed to have met death along the coast near Glonces ter. Eight men, the crew of the schooner Charles S. down with the wreck of that vessel off the Little Nabact last night From poiuts all along the Main coast come stories of boat wrecked and dhmage done to shippiog of all kinds. A terrific blizzard from the north- east swept New England. Meager reports from interior points tell of houses burried in the snow. Drifts a score aud more feet deep engulfed the rerdsand mane traffic impossi- ble. There are stories of trains soow bound, of fuel running out, and passengers being compelled to spend bours belf froze and hungry. Trains everywhere sra late, and the number of passengers who are suf fering in transit must be very great The man with consumption used to be considered just as good as dead. His doc- tors condemned him to death just as surely as if he had been convicted of murder aud must die on the scaffold at dawn. All that has been changed. There is now no reason for the consumptive to despair. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery will cure 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption. That isa startling state- ment, butatrue one. Consumption is fed by impure blood. It is an accumulation of impurities in the lungs. If the blood is made pure and filled with the purify- ing properties of the ‘‘Discovery” there is nothing to replace the tuberculous mat- ter that is coughed up and expectorated. Gradually the lungs become free and clear, the lung lining becomes sound and healthy, and the disease is conquered. Then begins the ess of flesh building and soon the hollow cheeks are full, the step is firm and elastic, and health blooms in every feature and in every action. “Iwas taken ill in February, 1892, with head- ache and pain in my back," writes H. Gaddis, Esq., of No, 313 S. J. Street; Tacoma, Wash. “I called in a doctor and he came three times. He said I was bilious, but I kept getting worse. I took a cough so that I could not sieep only by being propped in bed. My lungs hurt me, and I got so poor that I was just skin and bone. I thought I was going to die, till one day I was looking in a little book of Dr. Pierce's and I saw where the *Golden Medical Discovery’ was rec- ommended fora cough. I tried a bottle of it and it did me so much good that I tried another one and it made me sound and well, soI can recom- mend it to anybody. It saved my life.” Whereas, 8. E.
