County Clerk Broaddus desired us to call attention to the following addition to the assessment law by The tris] of ex-county treasurer dl ae BPA. Parker, of Veraon county, was the last legislature: ‘It shall rs un Monday in the circuit court duty of the county assessor in list- wada, on the charge of having|ing property to take the number of bezzled $26,000 of the county’s| the schoo! district in which said tax Sg payer resides at the time of taking The Bald Knobbers may be alittle | his list, to be by him marked on said ftooked with Uncle Sam on bright | list, and aleo on the personal assess: on light nights, but when it comes | ment book in columns provided for dealing out justice to train rob- that purpose ” they are away ahead of Kansas P In the ease of the State ve.

William Pyle, of the M. E.| church, formerly of Virginia, now} lecated at Austin, Mo. made us a| pleasant call and renewed for his | paper while in the city Monday. He! is an educated gentleman and a good preacher, and it is always a} pleasure to meet him. | At the time of going to press with the Ties yesterday, we learned with | many regrets that Mrs. Andy Shane, | who has been seriously sick for the past week or ten days, was lying at the point of death. Mr. and Mrs. Shane are among Butler's earliest settlers and most esteemed citizens and her death would be learned by the entire commuaity with deepest sorrow. W. A. Downey, accompanied by his pretty and accomplished daugh- ter, Miss Kittie, complimented our office on Tuesday. Mr. Downey is a large, prosperous and influential farmer of western Bates and is a democrat without guile. He has been a constant reader and valued friend of the Timzs for many years. He says he has the best prospects for corn he has had for several years. Edward Heavlin, our esteemed populist friend of Eikhart township, paid us a pleasant visit and favored us substantially on Monday. Ed has been a constant subscriber and reader of the Tres since 1584 and says that while it does not always express his political views, it gives the news without prejudice or par- tiality, and orders it continued to his address. The Tres appreciates such old friends. Mr. and Mrs John Morgan’s little 9-year-old son met with a serious aecident. The family live at Mine 15, Rich Hill, and were returning home in a wagon from church. In some way the little fellow got his foot caught in the spokes of the wheel and was dragged from the agon. His cries attracted the at- tention of his parents, but before the wagon could be stopped the little fellow’s leg was broken. We understand that a new paper, “te fill a long felt want,” will be started in Butler. The first issue will be made to morrow. It will be republican in polities, will be called “The Republican,” with Chambers & Cobenour as publishers. Legiti- mate competition is the life of trade, and the Times welcomes theese gen- tlement with open hands, not to “hospitable graves,” but afair and legitimate field of competition, and while the field appeared to be pretty well covered, it may be the survival of the fittest, and we are willing to take our chances. Our highly esteemed lady friend Mrs. B. Milliken, of Summit town- ship, accompanied by her daughter- in-law Mrs. Robert Milliken, graced our sanctum Tuesday and renewed for her paper. Mrs. M. is one of the most interesting ladies in the county. She is an extensive traveler and can tell what she has seen in a very interesting manner. Born in old England, at an early age she went to| Australia to live with her unele, a lrich rancher. There she mst ax d | married Mr. Milliken, then a wealthy mine owner.

Mr. M.basn’t been enjoying good health for the past two years, but is much improved. His son, Louis M.} Martz, living at Blue Mound, Kan., also orders the Tiwes to his address. A Clever Trick. It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it. Anybody can try it who bas lame back and weak kidneys, malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he can cure bimeelf right away by taking Electrio Bitters. This medicine tones up the whole system, acts as a stimulant to liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier and nervetonic It cures constipa- tion, headache, fainting spells, sleep- lessness and melancholy. It is purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and re- stores the system to its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be convinced that they are a miracle worker. Every bottle guaranteed.
