The first of last week he lost his wife; on Sunday his father-in-law was laid to rest, and his son Charley is lying at the point of death with diabetes, contracted in the service of his country. We can see a reason for a big tax payer. with no children to educate, yeting against an additional levy to ingure a nine months school, but it is incomprehensible to us how a man with children, whom he wishes to give all educational advantages pos- sible, would vote against such a proposition. Everett Drysdale was over at Pleasanton, Kansas, last week and brought back with him a box of lead ore and ziro taken from the mines being opened at that place He has several fine samples which he secured as it was taken from the mine.

Miss Jessie Webb, daughter of J. M. Webb, died at her father’s heme, 9 miles east of Butler, on last Thurs- day, of consumption, after a pro- tracted illness. She was spoken of asa very amiable young lady and bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude. The remains were interred in Oak Hill cemetery, after impres sive funeral ceremony at home. The remains of W. A Churchell, who committed suicide in his roems at the fashionable Wincheck apart- ment house, St. Louis, last Wednes- day night, were taken to Nevada, his old home, for burial Saturday. The suicide was about 27 years old. Do- mestic treubles seems to bave been the cause of his committing the rash act, as in a letter left he accused bis young wife of being unfaithful to him Grandpa Lilly, who had been pay- ing his daughter, Mrs W.

On last Sunday evening, between | Sand 9 o'clock, Wm Bercherding, a prominent and thrifty German! farmer, living three miles north ef Rockyille, in Hudson township, was | called into his yard and confronted by a stranger who presented a re- yolver to his head and demanded | his money. The old man protested | that he had no money with him, when the robber told bim to ge into the house and find it, andif be ran he would shoot him. Mr. Bercher- | slammed the door and attempted to| hold it, when the robber shot bim| through a side window, the bullet | entering bis back where the suspend. | ers cross. He dropped to the floor and the robber kicked bim aside and | ordered his wife, the only other per- son on the place, to find the money/ under penalty of death, but the old lady protested se strongly that they | din net have any money in the house that he finally gave up and left the premises. The wife then alarmed the neigebors and a vigilant search was instigated but no _ trace of the robber could be discovered. Sheriff Mudd was telegraphed on Monday and he and prosecuting at- torney, H. ©. Clark, went to the scene. They seeured a pretty fair description ef the robber from Mr. Bercherding, and have hopes of bringing the miscreant to justice. Sheriff Mudd said that they had twa savage watch dogs shut up in aroem of the house at the time and he is at a loss to understand why the wife did not turn them loose. While the old gentleman was living when these gentlemen left for home, the doctor in attendance assured them that he could not possibly survive the wound The order of the county court to post no more bil/e on coal houge in the court yard was disobeyed by the bill poster for the pony and dog show, and his by refusal to remove the paper at request of the Sheriff, who informed him of the order of the court, it cost the show $10 Will’ams Bros. will continue to slaughter prices on Buggies until May Ist Don’t fail to buy now if you will need one this year.

The trial of Mrs. Ewing at Mary ville, Mo., for the murder of her sister-in law resulted in an acquittal. When the verdict was read Mra. Ewing end her husband jumped from their seats, threw their arms around each other and kissed Mrs Ewing then turned and embraced her mother and aunt.
