PRESCRIPTIONS It’s wonderfully satisfactory to both physician and patient, when prescriptionsare filled at this store. Satisfactory to the patient because the medicine will have the effect the doctor fntends that it seould have, and satisfactory to the physi- cian becanse it is filled as he wante it filled. That’s our motto—“Just as the physician wants it’—no “Just as good” things, but juetexactly what the physician wants. FRANK T. CLAY.

The Rich Hill Review tells of the cruel abandoning of two small children by Tip York, of Panama. The children, a boy, 7 years of aga and girl, 9 years old, were put on a Missourl Pacific train at Panama, furnished with a meagre lunch and a note which read: “Put theeechildren on the train for Omaha.” They had neither a raflroad ticket nor a cent The conductor put them off the train at Rich Hill, in charge of the city authorities, who will in- vestigate the matter, of abandon- ment of the little ones by the Panama relatives. The mother of the children is said to reside at Spaldwin, Neb., their father being dead, W. P Sevier brought to our office a copy of Wonderland, published at Gardiner, Montana which gave & description of a big ‘possum dinner, given by prominent citizens of Gard- iner, at which Hon. John T. Smith and John T. Lilly, of Livingston, were guests of honor. Mr. Smith acted as toastmaster, Eloquence,wit and brilliant repartee were the feat- ures of the afterdinner, over coffee and cigars. Mr. Smith was at one time a leading member of the Butler bar and numbers his friends by the hundreds now in this section of the state. Mr. Lilly is theson of Judge John P. Lilly, now making his home in the declining years of his life with his daughter, Mrs. W. P. Sevier. In these days of “good times and prosperity” there is more destitution in Osceola than we ever saw before in a residence of 35 years. We are not attempting to account for it on any hypothesis whatever, but it is a fact, and the thoughtful must give study to the subject and work out their ideas. In some instances the destitution is the lack of foresight; in others it fs caused by the devil’s brew. But there are cases where sober, intelligent and hard working people are the victims of misfortune. Whether this is the result of bad laws or special class legislation we willnot attempt to say. Work it out to your own satisfaction; but in the meantime see that none suffer for the necessaries ot life —Osceola| heals Democrat. i} | chants a pointer: George C. Wells was in, Butler the | last of the week on his bd to visit his uncles, Ben and Charley Ireland, in Spruce township. He fs living at Garber, Okla., working at the car- penter trade. George was looking well and said he is onjoying health and prosperity. B. M. Dunham and family left last week for Butler, Mo., where Mr. Dunham will be employed in the mer- cantile business. New Lancaster and vicluity will miss them as neighbors andtheSunday school and church here will lose a true Christian family. Mr. Dunham was re-elected superinten- dent of the Sunday school and Mrs. Dunham was a teacher, and both were faithful in their duties. They taught by example as well as pre- cept. Their work has strengthened the church and Sunday school. Their friends wish them success in their new undertaking. —New Lan- caster correspondent, Paola (Kan.) Republican. From the sameness of an article that appeared in the Clinton papers we judge that theattack on the cat- }] | alogue houses was a paid advertise- ment. We will give the Clinton mer- Show the same energy in reaching the people with your goods and prices that you show in attacking the catalogue houses and your trade will improve. The farmers much prefer to deal with the home merchants, but they are not going tohunt them up. They take the local papers for the purpose of keeping informed on county affairs, and ifthe business men want their trade they tell them so and quote prices. The catalogue houses are here to stay and will finally drive out of business all that are unable or un- willing to compete with their prices. Advertisers in the country papers are ready to meet the prices of the catalogue houses and then some. It shouldn’t make any difference to the papers what the others charge. The papers are not responsible.—Osceola Democrat, Call For County Warrants. Notice is hereby given that I am prepared to pay the following out- standing county warrants on pre- sentation at my office. On salary fund to January 1, 1905. Oncontingent fund to Nov. 17, 1904 On bridge fund to Nov. 9, 1904. On pauper, election and jury funds to date. Interest on warrants will cease from this date. Feb. 9, 1905. C. E. JOHNSON, County Treasurer. Decides Hanging Legal. Denver, Colo., Feb. 6—The Su- preme Court of Colorado to-day de- elded that the capital punishment law is constitutional. Four murder- ers,. whose execution has been put off from time to time awaiting this decision, will now be hanged. Murder was punishable by hanging in this State from 1871 to 1897. In the latter year the capitol punish ment law was repealed, but two years later the law was re-enacted. Passed to His Reward. David B. Heath, perhaps the oldest man in Butler. ifnot in Batescounty, in the point of years, has paid Na ture’s debt and passed to his reward over the great divide, after nearly tive score of years of exemplary liv- ing. After a short illness Mr. Heath died at an early hour Saturday morning of pneumonia. Had helived until-next month he would have been ninety years old. Mr. Heath came to Butler in the early days after the war and has lived a quiet, unosten- tatious life,doing good where oppor- tunity offered, paid his honest debts, Wronged no man and had not an en- emy in the whole world. In politics he was a strong Democrat, and ex- pressed a desire to the editor of Tux Times just before thelast election, to live to cast his vote for another Democratic president. Funeral ser- vices were deferred until Wednesday of this week awaiting the arrival of his only son, Clarence Heath, who lives at Walla Walla, Washington. He leaves an aged widow to bear her great affliction for a short while, when they will be united in the great unknown for eternity.

We understand the child did not en- joy good health, Elder Crockett, ef the Christian church in Butler, con- ducted the funeral service, and the body laid in the Virginia graveyard to wait the Ressurection call, The senatorial situation continues the chief topic around the city hall in Virginia. Of course there are dit ferences of opinion, but I believe with Hon. J. J. Shaw, representative from Dade, that ‘There was, in my judg ment, an understanding between the brewers interests and Chairman Niedringhaus, which amounted to a conspiracy to use the party machin- ery for their mutual benefit.” Aaron, Ballard Culls.
