They get what they pay for when they stick an ad in the Trates. Mrs. M.S. Leech and daughter, Miss Anna, are in the city for a few weeks as guests of Mrs. Major. Mrs. Leech is the wife of a prominent physician of Chicago, formerly a practitioner at Mulberry in this county. She is the only sister of R. L. Braden. Dr. L. C. Chenoweth, of Webb City. Mo, who was a great admirer of Mr. Bland, has taken the initia tive in raising afund by subscrip- tion to erect a monument to the memory of the deceased, and it is said, is meeting with signal success. Judge DeArmond attended the funeral of his esteemed colleague, Hon R. P. Bland, which took place at Lebanon, Mo. Saturday. Mr. Bland and Judge DeArmond served in congress together for several years and a warm friendship existed between them. An exchange says that Norah was the first man to advertise. He ad- vertised the fleod and it came all right. The fellows who laughed at advertising got drowned, it served them just right. Ever since Nosh’s time the advertiser has been pros- pering, while the other fellow is being swallowed up in disaster. J. A. Reavis, aged 71 years, who had been making his home with Major Prewitt, at Nevada, was found dead in bed Friday morning. As the remains were cold and rigid, it is supposed he died soon after retir- ing Thursday night. The deceased was subject to apoplexy and it was supposed this caused his death. Eli Stubblefield, one of the two robbers who attempted to hold up a Missouri Pacific train near Sedalia several months ago, had his prelimi- nary trial in the Pettis county circuit court and was found guilty and given ten years in the penitentiary. Both the robbers were railroad men, one an engineer and the other a condue- tor. Chas. J. Jones, one of the Tres’ ood farmer friends, gave us a pleas ant call Saturday while in the city. He resides near Johnstown and owns the farm known as the Henley place. He reported crops looking good in hia neighborheod, especial- ly corn, oats and flax. On an average corn was standing about 18 inches in his section, but, said Mr. Jones. I have 25 or 30 acres which I will lay by this week. Wheat harvesting will begin this week. Thecrop is net very extea- sive this year, but the yield will be better on the whole than was ai first predicted, so we understand. The ravages of the chinch bugs have de- terred the farmers from raising wheat to any great extent the past few years While the bugs have not been so numerous in this county of late we learn from farmers that they are returning again and,in some numerous. Mrs. DeArmond, son Edward, Gen eral and Mre. H. C. Clark, went to La mar Tuesday to attend the wedding of Miss Daisy Brown, whose nup- Colorado were celebrated in that city yesterday. Miss Brown is known to our society people, she having visited friends frequently in Butler, and served as bride's maid at the marriage of General and Mrs. H. C. Clark. She is a very pretty and pop ular young lady. Joe Winchell and Jobn Craig were the innocent cause of a very serious accident at Rich Hill Monday morn jing.

Jobn Trimble secured the contract from the county court to level the gutter with macadam at the hitch rack around the public square. In muddy weather the gutter has been @ great nuisance, esspecially to the farmers in hitching their teams, and the Times commends the court for the action taken. Of course patent outside papers are lost in the woods when it comes to bucking the booming Tres, which is all home print and 48 col- amns weekly, and most of the time 60 and 72 columns.

The boy appears to be an incorrigible and it is thought will have to be sent to the reform school, so the Review states. Our old friend M. L. Wolfe drop- ped in to see us Monday and had his paper changed from Passaic to One, Wyoming, for which place he leaves the last of this week. He said he would probably go by way of California, in which state he has a son located. Mr. Wolfe has large property interests in Wyoming and expects to be there most of the time. His family will remain in Bates county for the present Mr. Frank Porter, living in the southwest part of the city, who bas been quite sick for the past two or three weeks, is gradually getting weaker and there are now grave doubts about his recovery. Mr. Porter had a severe sun stroke last summer, from the eftects of which he has never fully recovered and ris present sickness is attributed to that. His nervous system is shatter- ed and for the past two weeks his mind has been badly affected. Judge aud Mrs. L. D. Wimsatt, with tueir sonV. 1. Wimsatt aad wife, graced the Imes sanctum oa Mon- day. Judge Wimeatt is making one of the best and most conservative associate judges tne county ever nad. All questions that come be- fore the court receives bis careful attention and best judgment. In fact itis the expression of all who bave business before it, that we have a most excellent county court.

A number of intricate) law peints have been passed on by| Judge Graves, besides innumer- | able motions,etc. Farmers are very | busy with their crops and little ia-| terest is being manifested in the pro-| ceedings. All cases that possibly) ean are being carried over to the fall term. | The professional card of Dr. E s.| Ballard can be found in another| columa. Dr. Ballard is a graduate in medicine froma New York eol- lege and spent some time in the hospitals of that city preparing him- self for his life work. He is a young gentleman of energy and ability, and we predict for him the full measure | ef success he merits. He is a son of Senator J. N. Ballard, of Mont- rose, so well and favorably known | to the people of our county. | The body of Mrs. Martin, wife of Prof. J. McC. Martin, who died in | Independence, Mo., Monday, arrived in Butler on the noon train Tuesday, accompanied by the family, and was conveyed to the First Presbyterian church, where the funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. B. Hill, of Kansas City, after which the re-} mains were interred in Oak Hill cemetery. The family were former | residents of our city, Prof. Martin having had charge of the Academy} for one or two terms. The deceased was a most estimable lady, well and favorably known by many of our} citizens who attended the funeral, and extended sincere sympathy to the bereaved husband and children. | James Jones was dangerously burt | at a saw mill, 13 miles northwest of this city, a few days ago. At the/ time of the sccident be was filing| the circular saw and while at work a boy started the engine. Jones was! caught by the saw, and before the| engine could be stopped the flesh of his left leg from the hip to the knee was literally cut into sausage meat. Dr. Sen, of Adrian, has ebarge of the case and soon after the accident called Dr. Boulware to assist bim in dressing the wounds. Dr. Boulwere says the accident was one of the worst of the kind he had ever seen, and, although he had heard nothing from the patient since he was there, he had graye feare that he would) not survive his injuries | 1 Mrs Sarah Hoyet was granted a| divorcee by Judge Graves Friday evening. Then she walked down stairs and into the recorder’s office, | where che secured a marriage licenee | and immediately took unto herself! another husband in the person of | Mr. McManous. The court was) notificd of the transaction and the! first business done Saturday morn: | ing on opening the docket by bis) honor was to set aside the decree of | divorce granted Mrs. Hoyet the) evening before Thi action of the} court put Sarab ia a bad box, and the question is what will she do with the two men. She is yet legally married to Hoyet and illegally mar- ried to McMannus. In setting aside the decree of divorce in this case, Judge Graves but adheres to the precedent set at Osceola, where he dealt with a similar case, and serves emphatic notices to the avxious lillies who want t> take a second matri- monial voyage en the sea of endless bliss or woe, that be has supreme jurisdiction over bis doeket during the ter-1 of court and that decency demands tbat grass widows treat bim with proper respect when grant ed favors “To Throw Good Money After Bad Will but increase wy pain” If you bave thrown away money for medi cines that did nf and could not cure, why should fyou not now be gio taking Hood's |Sarsaparilla, the medicine disappoints? thet peer i Thousands oM\gegpie who were ia took Hood's best in- for your condition aod Sarsaparilla say it was the vestment they ever made, brought them health.

In the case of Dave Edwards, Jr, charged with the shooting of Isaac Shaffer, in a field near Altona, about three weeks ago, a bill was found charging Edwards with assault with intent to kill.
