Arbuckle, who spent a year in West Virginia, has returned and is living with his father, J. S. Arbuckle, “near Ballard.

Tue Times him the best of success. wishes We were complimented by a pl ant call from M. J. Martin, of Car- thage, Dakota, who visiting old friends in Butler vicinity. He formerly lived with his parents near Virginia, but left for the far west in 1882, where he has prospered. It is hinted that he will not return alone to his fine ranch. as- is and Sheriff Mudd was notified Tuesday morning that Hart & Co.'s store at Foster, had been burglarized on Monday night. A lot of boots and shoes, rubber goods, spectacles, etc. were missed. The wave of prosper- ity seems to have struck the bank robbers, burglars and petty thieves in this section and some of them will have to be brought up pretty hard before it is stopped. Judge W. T. Kemper of Prairie township, who is serving on the petit jury, made us a very pleasant call on Tuesday morning and had his paper set ahead. Judge Kemper served two terms as member of the county court and we never had a more hon- est, conscientious and conservative judge. When the court of which he was a member retired they left about $40,000 in the county treasury. Matt King, who shot his brother a few days ago, over inthe edge of Vernon county, had his preliminary trivl Saturday before Squire Dowey, of Henry township, and was held in a bond of $1,000, which he could not give and went to jail.

The Free Press offers the Live Stock Indicator and four or five other cheap publications at aclubbing rate and informs its readers that ‘this combination can be obtained of no other newspaper office in Butler.” The Democrat makes the identical offer. THe TIMEs was “approached” with this same proposition and re- spectfully declined. We hold that it isa mighty poor paper that has to give chromos to secure readers. THE Times stands on its own merits asa newspaper. Mrs. Julia LaFolietteand her beau- tiful and charming daughter Miss Christina, left on Friday morning for Siloam Springs, Ark., where they ex- pect to make their permanent home. They purchased a modern brick resi- dence in that city and Mrs. LaFol- lette expects to buy a fruit ranch in that locality. Mrs. LaFollette has resided in Bates county for 26 years, on her farm in Summit township and was held in the highest esteem by all her neighbors, all of whom join THE Times in wishing them health, hap- piness and prosperity in their new home. Mr. Joseph Clark and Miss Lizzie Harris were united marriage at the residence of the bride’s sister. Mrs. G. W. Clardy on North Main street, yesterday evening. The bride is the daughter of our fellow-towns- man C.C. Harris, and isa most ex- cellent and intelligent young lady. The groom is a brother of Mrs. John Harris and Mrs. Everett Walton. Mr. Clark has just returned from the Klondike gold fields where he had spent the past threeyears. The wed- ding was a quiet affair, ouly near relatives and a few intimate friends being present.

Carson, who left three years ago and went to Vernon compli- honest, here about county, returned and is farming just east of Butler. He gave us a pleasant eall and had his paper changed irom Portia to Butler. We take pleasure in welcoming him back. mse A terrible accident befell young Johnnie Maus, a Schell City boy the other day while out hunting It seems a gun in the hands of a young companion, a cousin, -nt off pre- maturely and some of the shot enter- ed young Maus’ right eye, destroying the sight entirely.

He has rented out his place and he and his excellent wife are going out to the Pacific coast to spend a year. Bates county never had a better citizen, nor THE Times a better friend and we wish them a pleasant time and a safe return. We were favored by a pleasant call on Tuesday from H. Carter, formerly a citizen of our city, now living in Blaine county, Oklalioma, where he has a splendid farm, well improved. He made the race for his claim in the spring of 1892, at the time of the first opening, and secured a good one. Heand his good wife are visit- ing relatives and many friends in this vicinity, and will probably be in the county until after the holidays. Ex-county clerk William M. Craw_ ford, now living on ranch near Goodland, Kansas, was in the city the first of the week and favored us with a pleasant call. He said he was doing very well, but does yot like the a country as well as Bates Sa He refused to vote there. and ifhe could sell out advantageously. would re- turn to this county. He reports the family all in good health, except Miss May. whose health has been poor. Dixie L.

He and his wife were on their wa home from attending the Moulton- Flynn wedding near Altona, an ac- count of which is given in our Altona correspondence. Mr. Haggard ex- pects to start ona pleasure tour of the “old country” about January 25, 1900. He will sail from New York on Feb. 1, and go to Egypt. the Hoty land, Turkey, Greece, Italy and will stop over at Monte Carlo.
