Some days ago the Joplin papers contained accounts of coun terteit Mexican dollars being cireulated in that city, and now the Nevada Mail says the counterfeit, is in circulation in that town, Butler merchants will do well to keep ther eyes open for the bogus money. The mayor and new members of the council were sworn in Monday night. The city government now is solidly democratic, and of course the acts of its agents. Therefore Tur Ties hopes to see a progressive, yet an econonomical administration of city affairs. The following is a fair sample of abuse Atkeson is heaping upon the good people of Butler, because they voted the Democratic ticket: “We do not blame the liquor interests for fighting for what they thought to be for their material welfare. They are entitled to quite as much respect as the Pharisees, hypocrits and scribes, and those who invite attention to their broad phylacteries.”” The tire department at a meeting Friday night organized a tourna- ment team with Frank Mabbott as foreman. Assoon as the weather will permit they, will begin to prac- tive preparatory to attending the tournament to be held in Kansas City in June. No inland-town-in the state has a better department than Butler, and heretofore at tourna- ments the boys have sustained their reputation for being one of the best teams in the association. Hon. C.C. Dickinson was in the city on Saturday and complimented us pleasantly. He is anavowed can- didate for State Senator, with the chances of success largely in his fa- vor. The indications are now that neither Bates nor St. Clair will have acandidate. Cedar has two pros- pective, Mr. Davidson and Mr. An- thony, both of ElDorado Springs. The senatorial convention will be held in Appleton City on May 20. Tue Times last week, with its usual enterprise, and at some trouble and labor, interviewed W. H. Rice and published a full detailed statement from him of the killing of Orville Butler. The Bates County Record re- produced it in full and gave uscredit, which was honest, just and right. The Republican-Press, W. O. Atke- son’s paper, filched it entire, even to using our type, without evensomuch asan intimation that we mightgoto hades, There are “scoops” of this kind which every reputable Thewspa- per man respects, and would no more think of using without credit than he would of stealing any other| valuable property which labor a duces. on Tues! \y.

We once heard of another Butler Journalist publishing that his paper was not responsible for what its editor said on the street. The easiest way Atkeson has out of slandering the good people of Butler is by reversing the above, andsaying that the editor is not responsible for what the paper publishes; and we have an idea such a statement would be mighty near the truth, in some particulars. special values at guaranteed, as cash. » | | | T.
