The recent rains have put the Marias des Cygne rivers out of their banks and overflowed the low lands, in consequence Butleris getting fresh fish once or twice a week. A retail merchants association has been organized at Rich Hill. The or- ganization, says the Review, will be for the merchants and against people who contract debts and make no effort to pay them. Misses Stella and Myrtle Harmon, accomplished daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. H. Harmon, of Warrens- burg, are visiting their sister, Mrs. Elbert Thompson. y Ab Cunningham has been having a slow time moving a house for Fred Lefker. For almost two weeks ow- ing to the constant rains he has been stuck in the middle of the road on Dakota street. On the inside pages of Tue Times this week will be found the financial statement of Bates county, which will show the taxpayer how and for what purpose their money is expend- ed by the county authorities. J.D. Allen left for St. Louis last night to be present at the annual meeting of the State Bankers Asso- ciation, before which body he delivers an address this morning on the “Trust” problem: Jas. B. Newberry, of Siloam Judge F. M. Steele left the first cf! the week for Oklahoma in quest of Steele, at Mathewson. Mrs. C. T.

Mr. Maxey isa good carpenter and has lived in But- ler for @ lung time. He sold his house in this city to J. J. Hirachy. Geo. E. Littleton, of St. Joseph, jumped into the Missouri river Fri- day and drowned himeelf. He and his wite had a quarrel, and Littleton struck at her with a knife, and through fear that he had killed her, jumped into the river. The people at Clinton are stirred up over the making of good roads, and the business men of that town are taking home of the matter in dead earnest, Tne different town- ships in the county are being inter- ested and no doubt good rouds will be the result. Miss Grace Henderson, of Van Als- tyne, Tex., and Miss Leota Crabtree, of Eufaula, Ind. Ter., are visiting the family of C, B. McFarland, They are on their way home from the Cincin- nati Musical Conservatory. Miss Henderson is a cousin of Messrs. C. B, and N, B. McFarland. Fred Letker is having moved the neat little cottage he recently pur- chased from W. F. Hemptreet on West Dakota street, to his lot on corner of Ft. Scott and Havannah streets- This is a very desirable resi- dence lot, and Fred will have a nice home when completed. George J. Poll, of New York, swore he sprained his ankle in stepping from a car and was confined to his home for ten days. It wus an im- aginary accident, but he collected $100 from an accident company for it. When taken into court Wednes- day, he was convicted for fraud and sent to prison for one year. This is real. The Nevada Herald tells of a pecu- Har divorce suit. John L. Lacy through his attorney has filed suit to have the divorce recently secured by his wife set aside, alleging that it was not legally secured. In the meantime the divorced wife has re- married, which adds complications to the case. R. R. Earsom of Pleasant Gap, was 8 pleasant calleron Monday and renewed for his son I. N. Earsom. Mr. Earsom thinks it’ a Republican trick when Charley Bryant’s wife pre- sented him with two fine boys. Mrs. Bryant was formerly Miss Lillie Lamb and taught in our public schools. , Judge John H. Sullens and R. G. West, of the neighborhood ef Foster, were over atthe hub Tuesday. Mr. West brought his crop of wool to market. They report that many farmers over in that section of the county have not yet been able to plant theircorn. Judge Sullens has on his bottom land 100 acres. of wheat which fs looking fine. In a pistol duel between Geo, E. Spencer, a desperate character from Alabama, and Patrolman Stephen Flanagan, at 504 West Fourteenth street, Kansas City, the other day Spencer was killed dead and the of- ficer died Sunday. Spencer had alarmed the neighborhood, and the officer was sent to arrest him, and in the fight which followed pistols were used with the above result. The Gentry pony and dog show here last Saturday was well at- tended and is highly spoken of by all who witnessed the performances. It was clean show and devoid of the thugs and confidence men who usually follow, if not attached to such exhibitions. The ponies and dogs were well trained and displayed al- most human intelligence in perform- ing their parts. Alderman Dennis Thrall is having more than his share of bad luck. A few weeks ago he losthis pocketbook containing about $75. Two weeks ago his wife, while getting some given hy the Farmers Bank as depo: - itory of county funds. The bond was presented and approved. J. B. Rutherford is in jail at Neva- da, charged with writing life insur- ance in Walker and Blue Mound townships, Vernon county, without complying with the insurance law. He plead guilty to one charge and was fined $45.45 including costs. The Missouri Asphalt & Oil Com- pany drilling on the Bellamy farm in Vernon county, have struck oil and asphalt at a depth of 250 feet, says the Nevada Mail, and withevery foot the drill goes down stronger evidence of a paying quantity of oil is found. E.D_ Kipp, secretary, and W. F. Keyser, assistant secretary, left Mon- day evening for St. Louis to perfect arrangements for the annualconven- tion of the Missouri Bankers Asso- ciation in session at the Olympic theatre in that city yesterday and to-day. It is reported by farmers comingin from the west that a stretch of road just east of the Miami bridge is al- most impassable and has been for sone time. This is in Mt. Pleasant, and the township board should take steps at once to have it repaired, if they have not already done so. This is the main road from the west to the county seat and should not be neglected. Dr. John Hull, a recent dental graduatefrom a Kansas City college, visited relatives in Knob Noster last week, He will practice his profession with his brother, Dr. James Hull, at Butler, Mr. Hull is well known in Johnson county and his undoubted ability insures him success in his new field.—Journal-Democrat, Warrens- burg. Mrs. Daniel Price, of Julian, Cal., formerly of Bates county, keeps up her interest in our people and sends remittance for renewal. She sends us some sample verse, written by her little daughter, Lottie B. Price, twelve years of age, who writes a short poem for their home paper each week during vacation. The sample verses sent us have true merit, for one so young. The Gentry Bros. Dog and Pony show had a “mix-up” with the city dads of Rich Hill and refused to let the show go on. Bob Walters had his heart set on seeing that show and was 8o woefully disappointed that it took a whole column in the Review asa safety valve. Wecan sympath ize with Bob, for we hate to miss a show,—on account of the children. Basil Culver, son of A. HL. Culver, with the furniture and undertaking department of the Butler Cash De- partment Store, passed a most cred- itable examination before the state board of embalmers at St. Louis last week, There were seventy-five appli- cants before the board, and Mr. Cul- ver stood second on examination, passing on 97, Tue Times takes much pleasure in congratulating the young man on receiving his diploma as an embalmer with such high honors. R. E. Hackett, of Mulberry, Bates county, was in Osceola yesterday. Mr. Hackett lived in Osceola before the civil war and saw the town de- stroyed by Jim Lane. He removed to Bates county in 1865, and this is his first visit since. Few of his old friends were here to greet him, but still he was welcomed by the Nances, the Gardners und some few old timers who have not yet heard “taps.” Mr. Hackett was in the Company of Cap- tain Morton, who died recently in Taberville and was at Fort Scott when the war closed.—Osceola Demo- crat. The annual banquet of the alumni of the Butler public schools was held in the circuit court room at thecourt house Saturday night. The attend- ance was large, and quite a number were present from a distance. In- stead of the staid old way of enter- tainment a new and novel program was introduced, and the members Springs, visited the family of his/ chicken feed from the barn tripped | were initiated in regular lodge style nephew, Geo.

S : NY For just about one minute Sunday afternoon, we thought a miniature eyclone had struck Butler. It came from the southwest and while it last- ed blew furiously, trees in the city were broken off. Our old friend Dave C. Forbes, of West Point township, was a pleas- ant caller on Saturday and favored us with a renewal. He has lived in Bates county over 50 years and tells some very interesting reminiscence of pioneer lite. He is a very interest- ing talker with a fund of informa- tion. Like all the old timers, Mr. Forbesisa good friend of Tar Timzs, Several shade Herman Frazier, of Foster, was ex- amined as to his sanity before the county court Monday, adjudged in- sane and sent to the asylum at Nevada. The evidence showed that Frazier was becoming violent at times and as he would make danger- ous threats against certain persons it was thought best to restrain him. The services at the Christian Church next Sunday are as follows: Sunday School 9:30 a. m.; preaching 10:45 a.m.; Junior Endeavor 3:00 p. m.; Y. P.8.C. E. 6:45 p. m.; preaching 8:00 p. m. There will also be mid- week prayer meeting each Wednes- day at 7:30 p.m. You are cordially invited to all services. E. H. Wituiamson, Pastor. F. C. Wycoff, & prominent young farmer who lived about three and one-half miles south of Appleton City, drowned himself in his father’s well at Appleton City. His brother jump- ed in the well after him, but could not save his life. The unfortunate man had been sick forsome time and was under the influence of a raging fever at the time. He was about 35 years old and leaves a wife and two children. A good thing for a town isa live and wideawake commercial club, and we are glad to know that one has been organized in Butler. Acommer- cial club can do a great work fora town, and it is to be hoped the one | § being organized in this city will take | } hold of matters pertaining to the | § good of the city with a firm grip and | a determination to make Butler the | § best town and the best market in this section of the state. Every citi-|@ zen of the town is interested in the | @ matter of making Butler a good town, and the commercial club : should receive the united support of | 3 all. The Review makes the following |@ comments upon the incident of the | ¢ good people caring for the remains | g of the unfortunate Mrs. Gray, killed | 2 by the cars at Rich Hill last week: | § “At midnight on Saturday, when | § the coroner’s jury no longer required ‘ § this dead body, Rev. W. B. Chancel- § lor and fellow members of the Pres- § byterian church asked permission to | ¥ take it in chargeandcareforit. They took it to the church and watchers remained with it throughout the night and yesterday, last night and to-day, until claimed by its rightful owner. It is such acts that give the church astrong claim on civilization. It is this sort of Christianity that cannot go- unnoticed. ‘Even as ye would that others should do unto you, do ye even 80 to them,’ was the prompting motive,” R. L. Braden, of Homer, favored us pleasantly while in the city Satur- day. He told of a half day recently spent with Cole Younger, at his sis- ter’s, Mrs. Kelley, living near Mul- berry. Mr. Braden said that Cole related many incidents of bis life and especially of his war record. Hesaid the hardest fight he ever had was with one of his own men who wan- tonly shot a wounded federal soldier. He told of his men wiping about one hundred Indians off the face of the earth who had massacred a party of campers from Jackson county, down in Arkansas. He said they had mur- dered men, women and children and mutilated the bodies, which enraged his men to the highest pitch. He thought possibly three Indians escaped, although he only knew of but one. Mr. Younger stayed with his sister from Tuesday until Thurs- day. Hill's Cash Store Cuts the Price ON EVERYTHING Ladies gauze vests 4c. Best spool! cotton 4c.
