Business of importance. R. S. Carron, Commander. Postmaster Welton has had mail boxes put up on three sides of the equare and one on north Main street. The mail is taken out by an employee of the office at 11 a. m. and 6 p. m. This is a great convenience to the public and Mr. Welton is to be con- gratulated for his thoughtfulness in this matter. Deputy sheriff Dike McCann went out to Johnstown yesterday merning and levied on the stoek of goods be- longing to Gus McAninch. The levy was made to foreclose a chattel mortgage in favor of a Kansas City wholesale firm. It is claimed by the firm, so we understand, that Mr. McAninch was allowing the stock of goods to run down and depreciate in value. Frank James, the ex-bandit, will start the Rich Hill races the last few days of August and first few days of September. He is considered a first class man for the place, and having many acquaintances as well as some eld friends in this section, will no doubt provea drawing card fer the fair. Besides, a good many who have read of him the past 25 years but have never seen him will take advantage of this occasion for gratifying their curiosity.—Review. Mike Gorman a guard at mine No. 15, was shot and serieusly wounded by the Ill-year-old son of John Doyle. Gorman had been showing the boy how his 38 calibre, self-act- ing revolver worked. He laid it aside and the boy, in a spirit of mischief, |BENNETT-WHEELER MERC. CO. Dealers in Hardware, Groceries, Queens- ware, Farm Implements, Wagons, Buggies, Road Wagons, Barb Wire, Hog Fencing, Wind Mills, Pumps, Etc. We handle the Peter Schuttler, Mitchell, Weber and Clinton farm wagons, and are making some very low prices on same, as we bought before the recent advance and can save you some money. If you want the best wagon made come in and get a Peter Schuttler,as they will run easier and last much longer than any other make of wag- ons. Of course they cost more than other wagons. But the difference in price is money well invested. Buggies, Buggies. We have sold more buggies this year than any firm in Bates county. The reason that we have been selling so many buggies is that we have a better buggy and are selling them cheaper than our competitors. We sold as many buggies the first six months of this year as we did the entire year of ’98. We handle the Racine buggies with steel corners which are the best buggies made for the price. We also handle cheaper line of buggies and can sell you a good buggy with quarter leather top from $50 up. picked up the pistol, extracted, as he supposed, all the loads, and aim. ing it at Gorman, pulled the trigger The result was an explosion anda bullet in Gorman’s side, which may preve fatal. The boy, who was a favorite of Mr. Gormaan’s, is yery much grieved over the shooting. Gorman left on Thursday for his home in Fulton, Kan., accompanied Lee Culver is traveling through Minnesota and North Dakota in the interest of the McCormiek Machine Oo.

Riley B., the 3 year-old colt of Pat Liston wor the 2:50 pace at Peoria, Ill, Wednesday, in three straight heats. Arline B. was second and X-Ray third. The race was for a puree of $1,000. The time was 2:10. Frank Ervin was the driver. —R. H. Review. The 9 year-old daughter of immi- grant parents is still ill in the south part of town. The girl, who has al- ready been mentioned in these col- umns as a monstrosity on account of her averdupois, weighing 311 pounds, is suffering from fever, and while not dangerously ill, is too sick qe travel. As soon as she recovers the girls will be put on exhibition in this city.—Rich Hill Review. O. W. Gerhardt has the contract for 8,600 square feet of bill boards for the Wallace circus and the Sells & Forepaugh shows which are to exhibit at Olinton. Each show is trying to outdo the other in the way of advertising, and while the fight is on the lumber mem are reaping a haryest. Nearly every available space of bill beard room in the town is taken up. If you toot your little whistle and lay aside yeur horn, there's nota soul will ever know that such a man was born. The man who owns his acres is the man who plows all day, and be whe keep a humping is the man who makes it pay. The man who advertises with a short and sud. den jerk is the man whe blames the printer because it did not work. The man who gets the business uses brainy printer's ink, not a sputter but an ad that makes you think, aad} whe plans his advertisements as he plans his well bought stock, has the| future of his business as selid as a! roek.—Ex by his wife. The bullet had not been located at that time The Great Wallace Shows which exhibited in Butler last Thursday was one of the cleanest and best circuses that ever visited our county. The grand street parade was the finest exhibition ef horse flesh ever witnessed on our streets. The large number of cages were elean and pretty, the actors and other em- ployees well dressed and prosperous looking. The cireus had many new and noyel features. The Nelson family, from the little tot apparently not over three years ef age to the father, were the finest acrebats we ever laid eyes on. The press agent, Bert Davis, we found to be a very clever and accommodating gentle man, with whom it was a pleasure to do business, and we especially commend him to the newspaper fra. ternity as deserving of their cen- siderate treatment. Butler Will Impreve it’s Streets, Rich Hill Review. The Review's report of Dr. Wil- liams’ disgust at the condition of Butler's streets has made a few of the beys up there hot under the collar. Whenever you mention a division of the court terms yeu scratch a sere spot on Butler, and it doesn’t make any difference who mentions it. But that Dr. Williams’ little kick, as forwarded by the Re- view, is having a salutary effect is evidenced by the statement in the Truss that citizens there haye “suc- ceeded in raising about $1,300 frem the property owners and business men for the purpose of macadamiz- ing Ohio etreet to the depot. While this is a goed beginning, it is not sufficient, and a good streng pull will have te be made to secure this result.” We are satisfied that with the assistance of Dr. Williams of Hume and the Rich Hill Review the eounty seat will eventually secure streets that will accommodate the demands of travel at least from Adrian and Rich Hill. But if we're wrong in this statement, just as soon as convinced of the error we'll ning hay Press made by the K. C. are Yours truly, Bennett-Wheeler Mere, €o., LEADERS OF LOW PRICES. Grain Drills.

Road Plows, Graders, Scrapers We have a full line of Road Plows and Scrapers on hand and can make you some very low prices on same, as we bought before the advance in price. We are agents for the Austin & Western Road Graders, which are considered the best graders made. It your road district needs a grader do not fail to see us, as we can save you money, besides giving you the best grader on the market. The city of Butler purchased one this spring which is}giving splendid sat- isfaction. Groceries, Flour, Feed, etc. We have the largest and bast stock of groceries in town, and can make you very low prices on same. In flour we handle the Minneapolis Gold Medal, also the Pleasanton and Power Bros., which are al! first-class goods. Our flour was all made out of old wheat which makes it much better than where it is mixed with new. We will make you some very low prices in 500 ib to 1,000 ib lots. In small quanties we sell.it from 65c per 50 ib sack up. Remember we pay the highest market price in cash as well as trade for all kinds of country produce. So drive right up to our store with your chickens, butter and eggs when you come to town and you will get the best prices going. Thanking you for past trade and soliciting a continuance of same, we Virginia Items. We write what we hear the Virginians say is Dear Reader, don’t blame us if we hear ’em say What happens vou. Some of our people will long re- member the show at Butler last Thursday. W T Cowan’s barn was struck by lightning last Friday night, had just filled it with hay.

Virginia has a band stand—that is the band stands out in the street and plays while the country felks listen; they come for miles around and seem to enjoy the music.

She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, ready and anxious te goto her heavenly home. When the summons came she rejoiced to go, exhorting the young to refrain from dancing and other sinful pleas- ures; was resigned to the will of God. She leaves a husband, one daughter and two little sons together with other relatives to mourn their loss. Our timely loss is her eternal gain. Mrs Moleworth and daughter of Logan, Iowa, who has been visiting her parents, Mr and Mrs Coulter and other relatives for some time, return- ed home last week. Misses Lillie Walker and Minnie Sheffler, Messrs Lawrence Wallace and Dee Wheeler are attending the Institute at Adrian. Mrs Anna Whistler wishes to thank the neighbors and friends for the interest they have taken and many acts of kindness shown her during her long illness. Such things are treasured in the mind, never to be forgotten while life endures.

The groom is an industrious and worthy young farmer of Charlotte andthe bride, the handsome and winsome daughter of H C Johnson of Charlottetwp. The groomsman and bridesmaid, Mr John Sacre and Miss Hattie Johnson were muttering in an undertone through the cere- mony, Oh, Lordy, how! wish it was me. Squire Morrison in a very grace- ful and dignified manner tied the eord that united this happy couple for life. Immediately after the cere- mony the guests, led by the bride and groom, repaired to the dining room where the table fairly groaned under its weight of delicious viands, such a feast—pies, cakes, ali kinds of ice cream and everything that heart could desire.
