4 ry 5 =3 WORK 7 rh — We do not believe that a better line of working clothes was ever shown in Butler than ours this spring. We find that there again a demand for the better grade and have put in a line of Cones’ boss overatls These union made—guaranteed in and jackets—the 75 cent grade. goads are every way and fit perfectly—no binding the hips, etc. We believe that these are in reality the cheapest to buy. We have a very large stock of the cheap- er grade, bought before the advance, and consequently, at old prices. 12 dozen men’s 50 cent overalls will go at 38 cents. Men’s cottonade, camelet and moleskin pants still go at 50 cents. Best work shirts ever shown for 50 cents. Best work shoes in town—our $1.50 i grade sells elsewhere at $1.65. bd M21 1,,4 00-1 EN Mexs a Bors Ouyrrirvens SRITTR "he fe TUAPES We have the nobby and correct I LER HEALY | iM ES goods at popular prices.

As chief of police of this city the past two years, Tom Kelley has made a most excellent record as anefficient officer and we do not believe the citi- zens of this town will consent to a change in this office. Mr. Kelley is one of our best citizens, sober, intelli- gent and very attentive to his duties. We predict his re-election by an in- creased majority over two yearsago. Uncle John 8. Ehart, our venerable aud esteemed friend from Nyhart, called Saturday and renewed.

A terrible accident happened at Nevada Saturday evening in which little Harry Waddell, son of A. 4 Waddell, was frightfully mangled by the cruel wheels of a freight train in the south end of the M. K. & T. rail- road yards. The supposition was that the little fellow attempted to get onthe moving train to takea ride and lost his footing and fell un- der the wheels. The Kansas City courts are show- ing no mercy to foot pads operating in that city. Last week four of these highway robbers were tried and sen- tenced to the penitentiary as follows: Ed Simms, negro, forty years: Bert Hoskins, white, twenty years: Rich ard Meyers, negro, thirty years. The sentence amounts practically to life terms. Simms, one of the men con- victed had only been out of the peni- tentiary two weeks. Sheriff Mudd, says he is being great- ly annoyed by people with a morbid curiosity to witness the execution of McGinnis. Every day he is receiving letters from outside the county and is also bothered by people at home. Said the sheriff, should it become my painful duty to carry out the man- dates of the law the affair will be es ried out with as much secrecy as it is possible to do. Only a few persons will be admitted by card. Captain Vernon L. Johnson received a letter from James A. DeArmond enclosing a notice to his father, Hon. D. A. DeArmond, from H. Clay Evens. United States pension com- missioner, that a pension of $72 per month had been granted to Captain Johnson, to date from Nov. 7, 1899, the date ofhisapplication. Through Judge DeArmond’s efforts the pension was granted in just three weeks from the time Capt. Johnson wasexamined by his home pension board. The following state candidates and visiting statesmen werein the city Saturday and all were well pleased at the harmonious manner in which Bates county democrats transacted their convention business: Ex U.S. Marshal Crenshaw, Mr. Dockery’s friend: General Crow, for attoruey Judge Gantt. for supreme A. Love, for lieuten- ant governor; Albert ©. Allen, for auditor: R. P. Williams, for treas- urer; W.C. Bronaugh. and Senator Vandiver for R. R Commissioner: Mr. Bradshaw, editor Chillicothe Constitution, for his brother-in-law. ex-Speaker Farris; Zera Ray- bourn, for Tom_ Bradbury for auditor, and Judge W. W. Wood for general; judge: Col.

I been dangerously ill for the p weeks with pneumonia, is rapidly, and with no bad luck 3 recovery is now assured. Our people have been deeply interested in this ease and the good news that getting well will be hailed with joy by the entirecommunity. § Hon. George B. Ellis made usa very pleasant call while in the city Saturday. He informed us that the executive committee of the Board of directors of the State Fair tion, composed of Gov. N J. Coleman of St. Louis. N. H. Gentry of Sedalia, Alex Maitland of Richmond and Hon G. B. Ellis of Bates, will this week visit the state fair ounds of Ohio, che i she is Assovia- Indiana and Hlinois for the purpose of determining on a plan for the Mis- souri State fair, located at Sedalia This executive committee has control }known m | Fit of the appropriation and will plan and superintend the construction of the buildings. We take pleasure in calling atten- tion to the announcement sof Estis Smith for county treasurer. He has lived the greater part of his life in Mingo township, where he has served the people ianumerable times and al ways to their entire satisfaction in township offices. has always been an active, enthusiastic demo- cratic worker and for the past fif or twenty years a county democri convention would hardly becomplete without his name. He is a whole- souled liberal-minded gentleman, as true to his friendsas the needle to the pole. He is well qualified to perform the duties of the office to which he as- pires, would make a strong candidate and a very popular official. i Ed Williams is a prosperous young business man of our city, his pros- perity being due to his energy and ability. He was raised in our midst. educated in our pulicschools and has lived all his life among our people. He has just completed his second term as a member of the city council which has given him a ar insight to the affairs of our cit) He is an enterprising, publie-spirited citizen, well qualified and competent, with a mind of his own and the courage of his convictions, he would protect the interests of the people from all jobs, wouldencourage public improvements to the limit of the city’s resources, and in fact would make one of the best mayors Butler ever had. Vote for Ed Williams. The democratic party in Butler was wise in its selection of acandidate for city attorney in that eloquent and brainy young lawyer John L. Stan- ley. He was born in our city and spent his whole life here except the years he was attending coliege and aw school inotherstates. Although he has been in the active practice but a limited time, he is already taking a high stand at the bar and has bright prospects for the future. He would watch over the legal department of the city government with ability and fidelity, see that the ordinances are properly drawn and construed, pros- ecute law breakers vigorously and see that the city’s interests are pro- tected at alltimes. Vote for John L. Stanley. Probably Defeated. The returns from all the precincts in the county are not in as we goto press. but enough to be reasonably certain that the court house propo- sition did not receive the two-thirds majority necessary to carry. It re ceived a majority vote however. It lost many votes throughout the county because it was believed the amount was too small to build a court house commensurate with the needs of Bates county.

Badly Hurt io a Shooting Affray. Nevada. Mo., March 16.—A shoot- ing affray occurred yesterday evening at Zodiac, twenty miles south of this | place, in which one man was fatally hurt.
