Johnson, of Nevada, and Miss Jessie Titsworth, of Butler, were mar- tied by Rev. Puckett on the evening of August 1st. We had the pleasure of meeting Frank I. Teeter on Wednesday. Mr. Teeter holds a responsible position in the Pension Department at Washing- ton, D.C. He was summoned on ac- count of the critical illness of his father, Chas. N. Teeter, and arrived in time to be with him in his last hours, which is now a great comfort to Mr. Teeter. “Ah, ha,” said a Shelton man Sun- day as he walked down the street, “gee a pin, pick it up; all the day you'll have good luck.” Bending down to get it, his hat tumbled into the mud, his eyeglasses fell off and broke, his suspenders gave away be- hind, he burst a button off his trous- ers and tore the collar button hole on the back of his shirt. Prof. A. ©, Gwinn, former principal of our high school, was a pleasant caller on Wednesday. He will be an applicant before the board for the superintendency of our schools, made vacant by Prof. Taylor's resignation. Prof Gwinn gave perfect satisfaction “here as principal. He understands the methods employed in the con- duct of our schools, and we believe wouid make a success as superintend- ent, as he is popular with our people. We are pleased to learn that since his marriage with that splendid young woman, Olive Swarens, daugh- ter of the late John Swarens, of Fos ter, Mo., our young friend Fred A Boxley and his estimable wife have gone to housekeeping {n the “old- fashioned way’ at the corner of TroostAve. and 24 St. Kaneas City. Fred has also opened an office in rooms 531-532, New York Life Build- ing, and will hereafter practice law on his own account; being a graduate of the Kansas City as well asa sober, industrious, painstaking young law- yer. Tue Times predicts for him a bright and prosperous future, and the people of Bates county having business in the courts of Jackson will do well to see or correspond with Fred A. Boxley. M. W. A. Picnic. Ballard Camp, No. 061, Modern Woodmen of America held a moon- light picnie on the lawn of L. 8. Keir- sey at Ballard Saturday night. The pienic was well attended and a com- plete success in every particular. The Johnson band and male quartette jrom Urich were present and enter- tained the audience with some good music. B. F, Jeter, clerk of Butler Camp, No. 2458, was present and de- livered an address on ‘“Wooddcrait,” which was well received. The picnic was quite a success financially and much credit is due to L. 8. Keirsey, Ballard’s popular merchant for his untiring efforts in its behalf. Women Nail On the Laths. Topeka, Kas., Aug. 3.—A week ago the women of theChristainChurch of Maryville declared that the new church building should: be speedily finished. It was ready for the lath- ers, but men to do this work could not be secured. Yesterday the women of the church procured hatchets, marched to the building and nailed on the lathe. Now it is ready for the plas- terers. “We have demonstrated that wom- en can drive nails,” one of them ob- served when the job was completed. Outraged and Murdered. Spokane, Wash., August 4.—The body of Mabel Richarde, aged 13, doughter of Sheriff. Richards, who disappeared Sunday, has been found ina thicket a mile from where the family had been camping in the woods near Anatone. The girl had been outraged and her head crushed with aclub. Philip Hamilton, a rancher, hase been arrested, and while main- taining his innocence, stands in dan- ger of lynching. An Honored Citizen Gone. Early on the morning of July 29, 1903, Charles N. Teeter paid thedebt | | that all must sooner or later meet Mr. Teeter had been in failing health | for some time, but able to walk about the room until a short time before his death. The deceased bad | resigned himeelf to the inevitable some time before the end came, and was fully prepared when the dread messenger should call. All his busi- ness affairs were arranged, even to the details of his funeral. The end came very peacefully and was only a sleep that knows no earthly waking. The remains were laid to rest in the Cloud burying ground at ten o’clock a. m. Thursday, followed by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. The pall bearers were M. S. Keirsey, J. 8. Arbuckle, F. M. Fort and W. A. Vest of Ballard, J. H. Me- Combe and 0. Warford of Adrian. The services at the grave consisted in the singing of several songs by the Fairview Sunday School and the reading of a number of poems by T. D. Embree, These were from the pen of deceased and were selected some days before by him. Death was due to kidney trouble. Mr. Teeter leaves a widow, three grown sons and a daughter, Mrs. W. E. Mosher, two brothers and a sis- ter, Mrs, A. M. Abbott, to mourn their loss, One son died in infancy and a daughter, Mra, 0. C. Rogers preceded him to the next world five years. The subject of thiseketch was born in the state of New York, Aug. 22, 1832, and moved with his father’s family to Wisconsin when about twelve years of age. Here he grew to manhood. In 1862 he started west to seek his fortune, stopping first in Colorado, but soon seeking the newly discovered gold mines of Idaho. Here he joined his brother Darius, who had preceded him to the west two years, and forthe next three years engaged in mining, merchan dising, freighting from Salt Lake City and Umatilla, Oregon. He also made trips to San Francisco, Cal. Having accumulated some property he returned to Wisconsin, where he was married to Eliza J. Hill on April 8.1866. In May of the same year he moved to Butler, Mo., where he resided one year. In the epring of 1867, he purchased a 100 acre tract of land in Shawnee township, and by industry and economy added to that until at the time of hisdeath he own- ed one of the best improved farms in Bates county, consisting of about 400 acres. Mr. Teeter was a well informed man and in bygone days taught school. He was a good writer, pub- lishing a book of poems in 1896, en titled ‘Household Gems,” In politics he was a republican, but always con- servative in his views. In his religious views he was not on the popular side, livingand dying a strong believer inspiritualism. We can truthfully say that Charles Teeter lived an honorable, upright and con- sistent, moral life, always true to his convictions, And in his death Bates county and the community have lost one of their best citizens. E. Death of Ashby Hamilton. Appleton City Journal, 30. W. W. Hamilton received word last Saturday of the death of his brother Askby Hamilton, who lives near Bel- ton. His death was quite sudden, as Mr. Hamilton was notaware that he was ill His death occurred Fri- day, but the message was delayed and did not reach Mr. Hamilton until Saturday afternoon so that he could not attend the funeral. The message contained no particulars of the illness. The deceased was former ly a resident of Bates county, living near Butler, and was well known to a number of our citizens. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

Hartford City, Ind., Aug. 4.—Two unknown negroes caught George Hearshey, an invalid aged 19, on his father’s farm near here yesterday and searched his clothing for money and finding none one negro held him while the other mutilated him with a knife. The boy succeeded in reaching home and gave thealarm. His fath- er mounted a horse and called for volunteers to wreak vengeance on the fleeing negroes. Two hundred men and boys joined in the chase. Neighboring farms and towns were warned by telephone, but no trace of the negroes was found. The sheriff with a detachment of deputies and police followed the mob to prevent a lynching. A Farm to Breed Wolves. Dighton, Kansas, July 31 —The county commissioners of Lane coun- ty have stopped paying bounties on wolf scalps pending the investigation of astory that a wolf breeding ranch has been established in the northern part of the county. With the price of scalps $1 each, the business of rats- ing wolves pays better than many of the industries in this part of the state. It is reported here that several of the ranchmen in the northern part ofthe county haveestablished a bree- ding place for the animals in some of the canyons along Walnut creek. A suprisingly large number of pelts have been brought in from that part of the country, and an investigation will be made. Public Sale, Tuesday, Aug. 11ht, 1903.

About 3 o’clock the members of fami- ly went about their duties,at 6 o’clock | f Lewis Gourley came in from the field | F and discovered his grandfather hang- ing in the barn. The old gentleman had taken a rope from” halter and hung the halter on a nail, attached the rope to a joist, looped the other end around his neck and jumped from the manger. He hung so near the floor that he could have saved himself by touching bis toes. He had removed his shoes and hat and care- fully laid them to one side.” Mr. Kyle formerly lived at Butler and was highly respected by all. He was in his 83ed year. He moved to Towa about eight years ago. Funeral of Miss Helene Phelps. Carthage, Mo, August 2.—The funeral of the late Miss Helene Phelps, eldest child of Col. W. H.

The funeral sermons of all three were preached by Rev. Dr. W. 8.

Hoodlums at Clinton, Clinton Democrat. Some fellow with a revolver and less sense than is alloted to ordinary mortals, emptied his weapon at the court house sometime last night. Two of the shots went through win- dows into the county collector’s of- fice and one into the circuit clerk’s office, cutting neat little holes through the glass. Some three or stone wall, and did no damage what- ever. The fellow, it caught, should be severely dealt with, as such reck- leas shooting is dangerous to life. An all steel) HAY PRESS for sale.
