The cuts were made with a diamond or hard steel instrument, and in some cases were quite deep, the worst being the glass in the building occupied by the new picture show and owned by Power Bros. Mr. Mel. Power was considerably incensed and said he would pay a reward to discover the guilty party. Walter White and Grace Chitty, living northwest of Butler, were mar- ried by Judge John A. Silvers on Tuesday. The young couple, both being under age, had some trouble in securing a license. The young man was an orphan and the prospec- tive bride’s mother was not present. The Probate court appointed Jno. C. Hayes guardian for the boy and the girl’s mother was sent for, when the first troubles met by the young couple were satisfactorily adjusted. C. W.

The resolutions were ordered spread upon the court records. Little Ethel, the three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Heinz, of Ft. Worth, Texas, died at the home of A. Freeman in Butler, where Mrs. Heinz and the little girl were visiting Sunday morning at 2 o'clock, after a sickness of only a few days of bronchitis. The father was notified Saturday of the child’s seri- ous illness and arrived in Butler on that the eyes of here in practically to make the trace. . No democrat. who realizes the magnitude of the fight now on in con- nt in right hand by an accident about a month ago. Mr. Deane left Butler about four years ago. B. F. Brady, advertising and news- paper promoter, of Kansas City, was visiting his sister Mrs. A. D. Brixner, in Summit township the first of the week. Mr. Brady was a Bates coun- ty boy and attended school in Butler. W. T. Borron, of Cody, Wyoming, came in Saturday night to visit his brother,-County Highway Engineer E. B. Borron. The brothers had not met for about twenty-eight years, W. T. leaving home when Ed. was a small boy. Sam White, the sexton, was kicked by a mule Friday evening and both bones of the left leg below the knee were broken. Mr. White was doing up his chores at the time and thought- put Mr. White on time. - U, Arthur McBride, assistant edi-| Coenged mae of the Johnson county Star, was| ment. his shoulders and back. He was tak- en to his home and medical services rendered. He was able to be out Wednesday, but was sore and his back pained him. Hon. Thos. L. Harper who served in the Legislature with Hon. C. C. Dickinson one term, and was in the lower house the first two years Dick- inson was in the senate, said to a Times representative: ‘I watched very closely Mr. Dickinson’s course in the legislature and there was not a cleaner man in either body. He was absolutely devoid of any corporation influences, in fact the lobby always understood that they had him to fight, and they learned to regard him as one of their strongest and most dangerons adversaries. So conscien- would not permit any clerk under his control to accept railroad trans- portation, if he could prevent it. During the era of legislative corrup- tion, when rumors were rampant of tious was he inthe matter that he| Old Park Hotel Burned. The old Park Hotel building, near the southwest corner of the square was gutted. by fire early Monday morning, and it is thought to the sat- isfaction of a great many people, that it is beyond repair this time. The fire alarm was sounded about 1 o’clock and the fire company re- sponded promptly, Plenty of water was available and the fire was con- fined to the building so that outside property was not endangered. The building was owned by S. W. Prewett & Son and occupied by Mrs. Jason Weddle, who owned the fur- nishings. Insurance on the building was $2,000, with 600 on the contents. This was a very old frame building originally built by Mrs. Patten, who conducted a successful hotel. It had however become in very.bad repair, had changed hands frequently and was regarded as a veritable fire trap. It has had a number of fires to its credit but heretofore the fire boys got there too quick and worked too hard. While The Times sympathies with Mrs. Weddle in her loss, it confesses to a satisfaction for the good of the town that itis past repair and will have to be removed. Marriage Licenses, W. A.

Why is it that we do not hear any- thing from the ‘‘Deeringized’’ press of the state about the inhumane treatment of a patient at the Nevada hospital for the insane? A patient with ten ribs broken and in that con- dition for ten days before any cogniz- ance was taken of it by Governor Hadley’s very alert superintendent. If the same incident had occurred un- der a Democratic superintendent the Republican country press would have been full of the Deering version of the scandal for the next six months: —Cass County Democrat. The watchwords for the Democratic rty are vigilance, harmony and statesmen, no shadow of suspicion ever attached to.C. C. Dickinson.” Mr. Harper said further that he had no intention of detracting one ioto from the high standing and splendid abilities of the other gentlemen con- testing for the coveted honor of con- gressional nomination, that he was simply telling of his own knowledge of Mr. Dickinson’s high standing and strong influence in the Missouri leg- islature. Two Different Causes. “Oh, dear,” sighed the pretty heir- ess, “I'm so awfully miserable!” “Why are you miserable?” queried the maid who was both homely and penniless. “I'm afraid some one will marry me for my money,” answered the pretty heiress. “And I,” rejoined the poor girl, “am miserable because I'm afraid no one will marry me because I haven't any crutches’ for some | were to sail for Europe yesterday be t was me—aw—inten- ?, know, but I—aw— mind at the lawet mo- aggressiveness. The old Sixth has a record for cleanliness that has got to be preserved, a record that was made under a Democratic Congressman for nearly twenty years, a record obtain- ed in a district that has been Demo- cratic ever since these counties con- stituted the Sixth District, and it is a record that can be continued only by every Democrat getting into the party harness with a steady and all togeth- er pull for success at the special elec- tion to be held on Februgry 1, 1910. —Cass Co. Democrat. A notice ina local paper on the good skating at the Butler lake, adds that the gentlemanly manager extend- ed all courtesies and did not permit “rowdies or colored people to skate.’’ Shades of the departed G. O. P. saints. What is the world coming to when the owners of the Butler Lake, Homer Mann, Governor Hadley et. al, forbid the colored brothers from skating. on their property, and add a further humiliation by classing them with rowdies. But the “colored” boys will line up on election day, the balance of the year they can be rele- gated to the rear.
