PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR’ SHOULD BE HANDLED BY BUTLER MERCHANTS. An attempt is being made to boom _| readers and friends that no solicitor | | county, and has been offering to give | ‘a premium with every dollar paid | | him. ; We desire to emphasize to our; | for The Times is, or has ever been, | authorized to give premiums of any | nature whatsoever with the paper, | jand any party so doing, or offering | the doctrine, and plans are now afoot for services in its interest in many churches, Wherefore, in view of the prospective abolition of war, we desire to implore our fellow-citizens’ to remember the Fuzzy-Wuzzy. Up to a few years ago no fighting’ force of any nation, tongue or clime had ever broken a hollow square of i ti etrate a | British soldiers, with officers in the a proposition among the merchants |S° t© 4°, is attempting to perpetrate a; ‘ and members of the Commercial Club of this city to hold a monthly sale day here under the direction of a foreign company, organized for the purpose of promoting monthly sales in the various cities. There is no doubt but that a month- ly sale day would be of great benefit to Butler and the surrounding terri- tory, and the proposition to hold same under the direction of the home merchants has been favor- ably discussed. In order that a town and its sur- rounding territory profit fully by these sales, it will be necessary that they should be maintained, not as a money making scheme, but only as an institution to mutually benefit business men of the city and the patrons of the sales. The object to keep in view in considering the proposition, is not that the promoters thereof profit financially, but that the farmer and stockman be given an opportunity to market his surplus at the best possible figure and at little or no cost to himself, and there is a strong contrast between the proposi- tion of the home merchants to hold these sales free of any selling charge to the patrons, and the present propo- sition which contemplates a commis- sion to pay expenses and declare dividends. No outside parties will conduct these sales from a philanthropic stand- point. With them it is a business, | fraud, and is not acting under the di- | rection or authority of his paper. | A pretty good rule to put into every- | day practice is to demand to see the |eredentials of any stranger who at- | tempts to sell something without hav- |ing the goods to deliver on the spot, |and another pretty safe proposition is | that no really strong institution or | business of any kind stoops to the giving of premiums. | A WHIPPING POST NEEDED. | | The trial of the ‘“roughnecks’”’ who | |participated in the tarring of Miss} Mary Chamberlin at Shady Bend, Kas., last August, is now under way. | It seems that the only charge under which the guilty parties could be han- dled under the laws of Kansas is that | of ‘‘assault and battery,’’ punishable | only by a fine or brief jail sentence. It is to be hoped that the judge will be broad enough to take matters into his own hands if a conviction is se- | cured and order at least a temporary whipping post established, and a good old fashion Siberian knout should be imported especially for the occasion. Mrs. R. L. Reese. Mrs. R. L. Reese, age 47 years, departed this life at her home in Deepwater township, Tuesday, Nov. 21, after a long illness of tuberculosis. Mrs. Reese was a good neighbor, a kind and loving mother and a thoughtful, effectionate wife, and center. But there came a day down in the Soudan when a body of her Majesty’s troops found themselves surrounded by a set of heathen so ill informed that they did not know this and so ill-bred that they would not have cared if they had. They broke the square and also a precedent that had net shown a crack since the bat- tle of Hastings. We may make arbitration treaties | with England and France. We may even believe that William II would let his army wait on the verdict of The Hague Court in an hour of ten- sion, if we are good at believing things. But who will stand sponsor for Fuzzie-Wuzzies and Igorrotes and such wild varmints, who do not respect precedents or read the news- papers?—Republic. : Stubbs Meets A Drunk. Topeka, Nov. 20.—Governor Stubbs was on his way to the executive of- fices just after luncheon today when met a drunken man on the street, “Ah, here’s where I become a de- tective for the enforcement of the Prohibitory Law,” said the governor to himself.

Dickinsheets, formerly of this city was accidentally shot and killed Thursday, Nov. 9, near her home at Enid, Okla. Mrs and Mrs. Dickinsheets were out driving, and had stopped near some real estate property belonging to them. Mr. Dickinsheets got out of the buggy and had gone but a few steps toward the barn when a shotgun which was in the rig was thrown to the ground and discharged, the load striking Mrs. Dickinsheets just below the left shoulder. She-was rushed to a hos- pital and every means taken to save her life, but it was impossible. The Enid Morning News Says: “Mrs. Dickinsheets was well known and loved in Enid. She numbered among her friends a host of those who helped to build this city of the plains. With her husband she came to Enid from Butler, Mo, when the Cherokee strip was opened and they built their home here. She was in- terested in everything for the advance- ment of the city and aided her hus- band in all of his undertakings, and she was his helpmate in hard times as well as the good. She is survived by her husband and an only daughter, Miss Una Dickinsheets. Listen! The time—Dec. 3, 1911. 5 The place—Ohio St. M. E. church.
