TIME GRANTED IN CONTEST CASE SLA rAa ne mt, Sc —- O — - _ of the-sales held during the past year The Butler Weekly Times |= Printed on Thursday of each week J. D. ALLEN, Proprietor ROBT, D, ALLEN, Editor and Manager Entered at the Post Office of Butler, Mo., a8 second-class mail matter. PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR The Supreme Court has granted to Application of Special Commissioner R. E, Culver in the contested election cases for a ninety day extension of time in which to make his report. Commenting upon the status of the case the Republic says: Up to this date the only official step in carrying out the objects of the con- tests has been a recount of the votes cast in St. Louis last November for Gantt and Timmonds, Democratic nominees for Supreme Justice, and for Gass, Democratic nominee for State Superintendent of - Schools. This has been in progress for some weeks, and its result, of course, will be determinative only of the correct- ness of the original count of ballots actually deposited in the boxes. The legality of a considerable percentage of those ballots is yet to be ascertain- ed. During the continuance of the re- count the attorneys of the contestants have been engaged in collecting facts with a bearing on the number of un- authorized persons who exercised the right of suffrage here last fall. In this the testimony taken in the legis- lative contests and the recount in the Congressional contests have been of assistance. The next official step in the State contests will be the exami-} nation before the referee of witnesses | whose testimony is relied on to up- hold the contestants’ allegations with respect to illegally and irregularly cast votes. The grant of additional | time in which to complete this work and submit the testimony to the Su- preme Justices is taken as an indica- tion that the court will dismiss the point raised some weeks ago denying its jurisdition in the case. THANKS, UNCLE JOE, SAME TO YOU. “God bless the country newspa- per.’’—Joseph G. Cannon in Reci- procity Speech. Right back at you, Uncle Joe, and many more of ’em, for despite the | fact that we’ve flayed you and held |. you up as the menacg of the country, | we hold a mighty warm~spot in our hearts for you. For a long time you have been our | “property’’ editorial subject and time | after time we have fallen back upon you when other matters have failed us. During your spectacular career you have more than furnished your share | | of news, readable and otherwise, and we have learned to'\depend upon you to liven up our columns when news| has been “‘scarce’’ and the editorial brain working slowly. Yes, Uncle Joe, we may heartily say God bless you, for the good you have done—and for the bad—well perhaps we may be able to rectify that. The fact that during the season of 1910 and 1911 a local auctioneer cried sales to the amount of over a quarter of a million of dollars would indicate that the value of advertising is rapid- ly being realized by those who have something to offer for sale. Contrary to the fact that heretofore the most of the sales held in this county were held by parties desiring to sell out that they might move, a great number were held by breeders and stockmen in order that they might make a market for their stock at home and Bags, etc. 39c and 50c. | | SOFT LOOSE SAND FOUND BELOW DRAINAGE Important Discovery by Commissio Viewers Will Greatly Lessen Cost only good goods g a $1 value we are selling at 79c. cially adapted for long black satin coats; stands more hard wear than any other satin made, and looks better. have black satins at lower prices.
