The wed ding took place at the Catholic Church in Clinton, Father Jakol of Montrose officiating. "Golden Medical Discovery" the great Mood purifier. A young lady appearing before the civil service commission at Washington seeking an appointment, was asked during her examination: "What is woman's sphere?" Prompt ly she replied: "Some people think it in a woman's sphere to spank babies, but my ambition is to fill a government clerkship." She was at once appointed. John Miller, living a couple of miles southeast of town had his right leg broken at the ankle Monday, by caving dirt, while digging out a spring on his place. Dr. Boulware was called and set the limb ami left him as comfortable as circumstances would admit. In giving the particulars of the Dawsou murder, at Pleasant Hill, last week, the Nevada Mail has the following in reference to the identity of the murderer: Saturday morning a railroad man informed Mail reporter that he knew ;. Tabor. He is from Adrian. Bates ; county, where his father is in the mercantile business. The young man t is only eighteen or twenty vears old; and has ta-en away from Lome for 8ever.il ytars. One of his brothers went crazy and shot liimself a few years ago, and this one is considered cruzv also. After taking in the situation and getting down to facts concerning their water-works c nteqirise. most of the business men of Butler feel ter ribly blue because Mr. Tiernan. of Ft. Scott, w as gi u the cold shoulder. They now ta'iee his influence in the Santa Fe comoanv will lie nl h ! acrainst the town. And from the fi.t 1 ! that he offered much the best terms. we do not see how it was he did not get the franchise- The Santa Fe branch to Ottawa is likely to go about eight or ten miles north Vf Butler.

Bradley, farmers, living east of the rier, who had taen in the city on business, and had taken on an undue amount of "Benzine." became some what iUiirrelsome, but left town in good shape. They had not proceed ed very far, however, before the trouble was renewed, and in the vi cinity of the Craig &. Greenhalge brick yards they concluded to tight it out; Bradley we understand mak ing an assault on Pitchford, who it seems did not desire to continue the melee. The two men came together and the result was Pitchford badly cut or stabbed Bradley, inflicting an ugly wound just below the navel. Bradley was brought to town by Mr. Fugh, a neighbor who was w ith the parties, and taken to Drs. Allen & Hullet's office over the liich Hill Bank, where his wound was dressed and the unfortunate man cared for until Sunday afternoon, when he was taken home. Mrs. Bradley had been sent for and was w ith her hus band when he was taken home. The wound is a very dangerous one and the chances are against recovery. If the case develops into one of blood poisoning, which it is most likely to do there could be but little hope. Mr. Bradley has no desire to have Pitchford arrested, stating that he himself is to blame, and if he dies it makes no difference. He says he is ready for any emergency, and takes the situation with an air of great indifference. Pitchford w ill doubtless be arrested and held under bonds until further develop ments in the case. Dr. Burgesserof Papinville was in the city this afternoon and reported the wounded suffering a great deal. Both parties have the reputation of being "bad men" when under the influence of liquor. A year or two ago Pitchford was similarly served as his victim in this case by one of his neighbors, whom Pitchford ex onerated from blame as fully as Bradlev does him now. One roimd dollar will get you IS pounds of brow n sugar at the Granga Store. It is an old and trite saying that "great minds often run in the same channel." Of the truth of this say ing we were forcibly reminded in the similarity of articles published in the Southern Democrat, published at Appleton City, and the Western Enterprise, of Rich Hill. The arti cles were the same throughout, ex cept the caption of one was "Fruits of a Democratic Party," the other "Democratic Party." These pajers were published on the same day so it is evident plagiarism wax not practiced. T. K. Bruglar wants more appli cations tor first-class loans. 7 per cent, interest and commissions. 4-tf One night last week the store house belonging to Mr. T. Webb at Vinton was destroyed by fire, with all of its contents. The day before the fire Mr. Webb re ceived an anonymous letter to the effect that he must return or pay for the revolver and hat which were captured trom the parties who at tempted to rob his store lat spring, an account of which was published at the time in the Times. From this it would appear that these same miscreants are at their devil's work and they should be hunted down and brought to justice. Mr. Webb was sleeping up stairs at the time and was aroused just in time to es cape by jumping from a window, hurting himselt very had'v.

Major Bradley informed a Times reporter that the Colorado company had purchased 130 acres of land ad joining Papinville on the north, pre sumably for depot grounds and machine shops. Ed. T. Steele, returned Saturday from his trip to Chicago. He spent three days in the city and during that time says he took in the entire town. He is highly pleased with his trip and thinks Chicago the largest and livest place he ever saw. The many friends and aequantan ces throughout the state of Mrs. Car oline Pierce, wife of the late Rev. R. R. Pierce, will be pained to learn that she passed away at her home in this city Monday morning at 4 o'clock. She has been an inva lid for more than a year and at the time of her husband s sad death in Kansas City was confined to her bed. Regaining strength sufficient she made a trip to Texas spending the greater part of last winter in Dallas. Finding the climate of Tex as did not agree with her. about five or six months ago returned to this city to make it her permanent home. She was taken sick almost immedi ately on her return and for the past four months has been confined to her bed. Dr. Grant, of Pleasant Hill, the family physician, was called and did all in his power to cure her. She was a most estimable lady and made many warm friends during her residence in this city. She leaves three daughters to mourn their loss. The funeral services took place from the family residence on South Main Street, Tuesday at 2 o'clock conducted by Rev. Ashley, of the M. E. church. Wah Kee, a Chiuese laundrymau of this city, was arraigned before Esquire Cannon Thursday, charged with carrying concealed weapons. Pig-tail was passing Joe T. Smith's livery stable when he was accosted by Frank Morgan, who, without provocation, began cursing and abus ing him. The Chinaman, who had taken Morgan's insults and abuse on several other occasions, concluded to put a stop to it and. it is said, pulled his gun for the purpose of protecting himself and Morgan took to his heels. As to whether the celestial intended to shoot Morgan or not. we have our doubts. However, we do not justify Wah Kee in carrying a pistol and do not think he should be permitted to d- so. as there are circumstances under which he might be tempted to use his weapon, or accidentally shot some one. neither do we justify grown men or boys aggravating him in his peaceful walks. He gave a substantial bond and will have his trial to-dav. Four Feet of Coal.

He then screamed aloud to Mr. Lewis to come there quickly if he wished to see him alive, as he was going to commit suicide. Mr. Lewis hastened there and found him lying on the ground, with his throat cut from ear to ear, the razor lying near him and its victim wallowing in pool of blood fast ebbing from the wound. Drs. Tuttle and France were in stantly summoned to the place and pronounced the wound fatal, the esophagus and thrachea Ining both severed.
