We go to press too early to an- nounce the results of the National Democratic convention, whjch con- vened in, St. Louis yesterday. There is one thing thatalways adds enthusiasm at a Republican conven- tionin Missouri, and that is the ques- tion of the distribution of the offices. The body of Mrs. Mullins, who died at Seattle, Waeh., on Friday, was brought to this city for interment. She was the sister of Mra, J. R.Cobb. Bates county fared well at the hands of the Joplin convention Judge DeArmond for one of the big four and Silas W.

A number of our prominent Demo- crate are in St. Louis this week at- tending the National convention and putting {n their best licks for Senator Cockrell. Aside from state pride there is not a Missourian, but would rejoice if our beloved Senior Senator would capture the presidential nom!- nation. His preeminent qualifica- tions are appreciated the country over, but his home in the strong Democratic state of Missouri mili- tates against him. It looks very much as it Judge Parker would suc- ceed, but if he should not then Sena- tor Cockrell has a good fighting show. Atelegram to John Patton con veyed the news of the death of his brother-in-law, Victor Snyder in Kansas City. The funeral took place Saturday. Only a short time ago Mr. Snyder lost one of his feet by amputation. The deceased formerly resided in Butler and at onetime was a member of the city council.

Baxton, of Kansas City, which is crowded out but. will appear in next week's issue. Prot. H C. Richmond and Prof. W. T. Hoover, superintendent of the Ad- rian schools, were pleasant callers at Tur Times office last week. These #entlemen, in conjunction with coun- ty superintendent Maxey, will con- ducta teachers normal at Butler, be- ginning July 18th and continuing six weeks, Mrs. W. E. Walton left last week for Greenmountain Falls and Colora- do Springs to spend the heated term. In October Mrs. Walton will fill an engagement to sing three times a week in concert at the MissouriState @ just recognition of Mrs. Walton's splendid abilities as a singer. W. J.

Billis an all-round newsper man, having had years of experience both in the publishing business and a thorough training in the best job offices of Kansas City aud in taking hold of the Local that paper will not deteri- orate in the splendid standing itnow enjoys. The officers were compelled to take Dr. Dieuls, a drug friend, who haa been stopping at the Laclede hotelin this city several weeks in charge, The doctor being mentally unbal- anced at times, it was feared that he might do harm to his wife or some other person. The doctor is a nice appearing man, and it is unfortunate indeed that he has formed an uncon- trolable appetite for poisonous stim- ulants. For the first time many farmers purchased cradles, and a considera- ble portion of the Batescounty wheat crop will be saved in that way. It looked rather odd to see farmers go- ing out of town with sometimes a half dozen wheat cradles in their wagons. While that method is a slow process compassed to the mod- home to friends. The young couple start off in life with bright prospects ‘and the best wishes of a host of friends. ern binder, the indomitable pluck of the American farmer makes him adapt himself to conditions and will do his part if given the least show, ‘building at the Wold’s Fair.
