He is here serving his country as a jury- man. In regard to the so-called smallpox cases in his neighborhood all were doing well. he said, andas no new cases had developed it was thought the disease was about stamped out. H. H. Bauer, the general and wide- awake traveling lesman for the Goodfellow Shoe Co., of St. Lowis, spent Tuesday in the city, interview- ing our merchants and placing orders. Mr. Bauer resides at Tipton, Mo., and is an old friend of J. B. Adair and D. K. Walker, having spent their boy- hood days toget! and heexpressed himself as being very much gratified at finding them engaged in business in this town and doing well. The candidates have one more month in which to get over the coun- ty, see the people and present their claims. Up to date all has been har- monious and the candidates one and all have conducted a gentlemanly campaign, free from mud slinging and abuse. This is as it should be, and it is gratifying to see all the can- didates on amiable terms. They are all good men and the successful ones will receive the hearty support of the party. At a meeting of the school board the other night the matter of select- ing a superintendent of our public schools for next year was discussed, and it was unanimously agreed by the members of the board present to retain Prof. Taylor. This action of the board will receive a hearty en- dorsement from the people as Prof. Taylor has brought the schools up to rank with the best in the state, and his management the past year has given entire satisfaction to all patrons. W. G. Sellon, breeder of thorough- bred shorthorn cattle will have a sale of his stock in this eity Wednesday. May 2nd. At this sale 13 bulls from 8 to 18 months old and 6 cows and heifers will be offered for sale. This is an extra bunch of pure bred short- horn cattle, and farmers and others desirous of dealing in such stock will find this a rare opportunity to pur- chase. The sale will take place in the feed lot opposite the LaClede hotel at 1 o'clock p.m. J.M. MeGovern,a straightforward, well-posted, up-to-date young far mer, favored us pleasantly on Mon- day and had his name re-entered on our books. About a year ago he said he was induced by traveling agent tostop THE Times and take another Butler paper which offered three or four cheap publications as premiums, all for 7 Mr. Mac said he wouldn't give THe Times for the whole **kaboodle,*” with the extra quarter thrown in. re. Our gasoline engine has been run- ning under a full head of steam the past two days printing the assess- ment blanks for the county. It takes twenty-four thousand impressions to complete the job or about two days to do the press work. To do this work by foot power it would takea good stout man more thana week to turn the job. So one can readily see the laborsaving advantages of steam power, and why it is that THe Times office can turn out job work at a much cheaper rate than under the old way of doing things. suitable candidate for one or more these offices. Please don’t all speak at once. Chicken thieves are now operating in Butler. G. E. Fox, residing on Ft. | Scott street, informs us that among} others in his neighborhood. his hen house was visited Saturday night and a half dozen fowls are missing. Next to a sheep thief a chicken thief is the meanest on earth. Lumber has advanced fifty per cent and yarns combine to sell at the little building being done and so many carpenters out of work. The hand of the trust and combine is first | laid upon the brow of labor. At the state convention of the peo- ple’s party. held in Kansas City last/ week, Judge D.C. Fuller of Adrian, Bates county, United States of America, was nominated by acclama- tion for state treasurer. The Judge} accurate in all his work and calcula- tions. He iscourteous and gentle- manly in his intercourse with his fel- low man. He came of good old dem- ocratie stock and has been an activ nominated without opposition, which is as it should be. Sheriff Mudd is pretty thoroughly convinced that after so long a time who have been stealing chickens in this section. He has the parties sus- picioned, a man and two women, un- der arrest at Nevada, and went down yesterday to bring them back to But- ler The parties under arrest it is asserted were using a spring wagon anda pair of horses in plying their business which they had procured of George L. Smith, liveryman of this city. They had disposed of the spring wagon and had a two horse wagon when arrested. Jack Rippetoe, the negro so serious- ly wounded in the shot gun duel with Doe Harris last week, is reported to be mending slowly. Jack received a full charge of No. 4 shot in the face and neck, and owing to the fact that the doctors were unable to remove them or dress the wound properly hopes for his recovery wereextremely slim. For two orthree days his neck and face were so badly swollen it was feared he would choke to death. This trouble is now about over and he has been able to take liquid nourishment and if blood poison does not set in Jack is in a fair way torecover. Har- ris was arrested by Sheriff Mudd shortly after the shootingand is now nursing his broken arm behind the bars in jail. Unele Bill Hedden arrived in town Monday morning and reported for jury duty at the court house, and then a little later, being excused for a few hours, gave THE TIMES a very pleasant call. Unele Bill owns and operates a big farm near the Vernon county line, is a rip-roaring democrat with lots of “fluence.”” but some how or other he said the candidates had given him the shake for the past six years, not one of them had brushed the dirt off his feet on his doorsill, or taken a meal at his hospitable table. Why this was so he was unable to tell. as he only kept a small shepherd dog, which was perfectly docile, and had not had a box of rough on rats in the house for ten years past. All jokes aside, Uncle Bill is one of the best and jolliest men in Bates county. notwithstanding he is authority on corn pones and water mellons at the county fairs. W. T. Meglassen, for thirty years a resident of this county, died at his boarding place in this city Wednes- day of last week of pneumonia.
