MORE HOUSE STEALING. joim Armstrong Lodged in Jail for ' Stealing his- Father Horse. Deputy Sheriff Sam. Beall and J. T. Gorrell arrived in the city on the Friday train from Rich Hill with John Armstrong who was lodged in jail for horse stealing. From Mr. Gorrell a Times reporter learned the facts in the case as follows: John Armstorong is a son of J. B. Armstrong ot Walnut township, this councy. On Wednesday night John itole a horse from his father's stable and rode it into Rich Hill and put up at the livery stable. Yesterday evening the father and another son arrived in Rich Hill on Ihe hunt for the stolen animal, not supposing that John had committed the deed. In the mean time John had left town toward Nevada. Deputy Sheriff Beall, Gorrell and one or two others, at once began operations to capture the thief ajj d recover the property. The party travelled half the niht a.-.d finally got their man near Balltown", Ver non county. The prisoner was brought back to Rich Hill and given preliminary trial early this morning, and failing to give bond of $oo required by the court, was sent to Butler as sta: ted in the outset. This is the second or third time John has stolen or attempted to steal his father's horses. A paper has been circulated among our merchants to the effect that after June i, 1SS2, the subscri bers to the articles ot agreement therein contained close their busi ness houses to the public at 7:30 o'clock in the evening, save on Sat urday when they are at liberty to hold open as long as they desire. The following firms have signed the agreement and commenced the prac tice of its provisions: Sam'l. Levy & Co., McClmtock & Burns, J. II. Christopher, Aaron Hart and R. Weil & Co. This is a metropolitan step, as in the large cities all busi ness houses ot any importance close their doors at 6 o'clock p. m. Ex perience has proven to them that thy not only do not lose anything by it, but draw custom away from those smaller establishments which do not comply with this rule. In a city of the proportions of Butler, however, the hour decided upon in this agreement is the best that could be chosen. It is to be hoped that every dry goods and boot and shoe dealer in the city will sign this agreement, but in case they do not, popular favor will rest with those who do, and the re Dy benefit them.

He employs no traveling Agents, nor Peddlers. Butler's fourth of July celebration will be something grand, "and don't you forget it." That fire limit ordinance seems to be too tough for the mental diges tion of some of our councilmen. The Times job office is crowded with work, but we hope to turn none 'away as we are making arrange ments to add more assistance in that department. bugs and twine binder agents, the crops will fall short. Carthage , Patriot : Carthage merchants have formed a protective association. Each merchant has a list of dead beats, and whenever a new one is discovered, down goes his name on every man's list. Rich Hill Gazette: Taylor Under wood's trial closed at Lamar May 30th very abruptly. The prisoner pleaded guilty of murder in the sec ond degree and was sentenced to ninety-nine years in the penitentfary Springfield Sun : A warrant was issued this morning by "Squire Roun tree for the arrest of a man who lives in town, for stealing his wife's feather bed and selling it, appropriating the money to personal use. Sedalia Bazoo-. It's funny, but a soft-Dalmed woman can pass a hot pie-plate to her nearest neighbor at j the table with a smile as sweet as j distilled honey, while a man with a j hand as horny as a crocodile's back j will droD it to the floor and howl J t around like a Sioux Indian engaged in a war dance. Carthage Patriot: Mr. B. C. Howley, living five miles north of this city, showed a reporter, Satur day, two stools of red oats that meas ured about four and a half feet, that came off his place ; also a stool of Mediterranean wheat that measured over five and a half feet. They were fair specimens ot the whole field, and are as fine samples as ever grew in this country. The building at the southwest cor ner of the square, vacated by Hugo Sigmund a tew days since, is being removed to make room ior the brick business house which Mr. Thompson is going to build on that location. Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock a ve hicle was driven into town from Ap plcton City. The occupants, a gen tleman and lady, alighted, sought the recorder, procured a . marriage license, marched into Judge Brown's office and were tied together for life by that gentleman in the usual; and artistic style, with the acception of his usual artistic kiss, which he was : persuaded to omit.. " The contract ing parties are Mr. E. A. Bittel and HissDffla WTiitaker, both of Ap pleton City. The Times wishes tfica a Isag and happy union. Neighborhood Botes. Stockton Stalwart: Our farmers all report their corn as looking splen did, and everything . now bids fair for an abundant crop. Old Cedar is right there when it comes to rais ing corn or anything else. Nevada Mail: From talks with gentlemen from almost eyery section ot the county we learn that crop prospects are unusually good in Vernon. The fiuit prospect was never better. Springfield Express: It is now stated that the Frisco company pro pose to build a branch railroad from this city to Harrison, Ark., a dis tance of 90 miles. Engineer M. L. Randall, accompanied by T.J. Gid eon, Esq., left here Wednesday to make a tour of observation over the country between here and Harrison, preparatory to beginning a survey of the proposed line. Barton County Progress: Meet ing Hop. Charles H. Morgan and learning that he had recently return ed from Butler we attempted to in terview him as to the political situ ation in Bates county, but we found him quite reticent. He said that the congressional canvass was not yet fully opened in the county, that he understood that the present senator from that district, Major J. N. Bradley was by many, considered a candidate, but that no public an nouncement had yet been made by Mr. Bradley. Mr. Morgan express ed himself surprised at the growth and rapid improvement of Butler, but said that the cominsr city of southwest Missouri was Rich Hill; that with its immense quantities of coal it has the possibility ot becom ing as populous and as wealthy a city as Pittsburg, Pa., which city it already resembles. Crops in Bates he reports as look ing! promising. Mr. Morgan said that the impetus given to industry in that section by the discovery and developement of the vast coal fields ; and facilities for transportation already enjoyed, and the prospecto ot another railroad giving direct communication with Chicago and the northwest, and rich quality of soil makes Bates one ot the first counties in Missou ri. Nevada . Democrat'. Two gen tlemanly oxen arrived in the city from Cedar county this morning. As they are the first yoke ot oxen that have visited the public square for some time, they deserve especial mention. Dick the leader is fiddle- colored , steer of comely shape and horns that point slightly grassward, and a tail that evidently has done good service in many fly campaigns. Darb the off ox is a blonde of the strawberry type, and has a snow white face and earnest, soulful eyes and has a perciptible bulge in his vertibral column. The pair are as handsome a combination as eyer went in front of wooden axles and a tar bucket Old citizens, who have "driv" the horned brute looked on the new arrivals with pleasing re membrances of pioneer days.

Much has been said relative to the Thirteenth Congressional District being a very doubtful one for the Re-, publicans. The counties that com pose this district are a part of South west Missouri, and if for no other reason, we teel much in common with the Democrats who belong in it, and whom we are glad to see striking effective blows for the party's success in the coming campaign. The following from the Neosho Times shows that no quarter will be given the Republicans: The Democrats ot the Thirteenth Congressional District are showing a good morale for the approaching con test. The Bolivar Herald,"m a spirit ed article on the situation, breathes plucky political combat ami predicts the election of the Democratic candi date. We ioin in the spirit and pre diction. We do not give any credit to anybody m or around the Legislature for expecting that the Thirteenth would turn out to be a Democratic district they expected no such thing ; it would have given them the belly ache to think o? it; but the Demo crats pf this corner of the State ar rived at a different conclusion after having been formally handed over, by their own guardian angels, to evil spirits. We now say decidedly that the district cannot be judged accu rately by the vote of 1880. The Democracy can do much better than they did then but they must have a good candidate for Congress who knows ho.w to set the echoes ot the canvass flying to keep Democrats up to their work ; and what our own men happen to fail in, George Vest must come and do for us. All the Democratic papers of the district agree with the Herald ; there is a "git up and git" feeling prevading the Democracy. If this increasing confidence of success shall be culti vated assiduously the Democracy of this district will wind up the cam paign with a rousing, memorable victory. 1 he Democratic Executive Com mittee of Tackson county has met and settled old troubles amicably.
