Circuit court convened on time Monday morning with Judge De Armond on the bench. The first business transacted after opening court was the swearing in of the grand jury. The docket is not so large, but it is more than probable that this will be one of the most in teresting terms held in Bates county for a long time.

Francisco and Graves made all ar rangements and merits all the naise" in makiug a decided success of the tariff reform meeting held in Butler Oct. 2Gtb. Judge Ballard was appointed a member of the com inittee to make arrangements and se cure speakers for such a meeting. The Judge went to Nevada to see and induce these gentlemen to come to Butler, as did Francisco and Graves, paid his own expenses, be sides subscribing liberally to the ex pense fund and assisted in receiving md entertaining these gentlemen in the city. AVhile Messrs. Francisco and Graves deserve much praise for their untiring efforts in this direc tion, we see no good reason why Judge Ballard's name should have been omitted from the list- iiuirfliir And our Straight-forward Business Principles arc what pleases them.

The citizens of Nevada since Mr. Gould gave them the cold shoulder a week or so ago, have turned their attention to the securing of the Kansas City, Bich Hill & Southern, and from present appearances and the rustle the live business men of Nevada are getting on themselve s the prospects of nabbing the plumb is very good, yes quite flattering in deed. e notice that a proposition by the consolidated railroad com panies to the citizens of Nevada, to raise 6o,000 and give right of way through the county is being met promply by the citizens of Nevada and one day last week at a meeting held $32,000 was raised on the spot and committees started to get right of way through the county. This unexpected turn in rail road affairs looks a little bad for Rich Hill, but we guess they will have to stand it. If this is built (and the prospects at present are more than flattering) will pass through the western part of Bates county. near the villages of Mulberry and Virginia and through the coal fields in that section. Now you can look for a raise in real estate in the west ern part of Bates county. Judge D. W. Cloud, a member of the county court, called in to see us Tuesday. The Judge informed us that the cable bridge for Mound Branch has arrived and workmen are now putting it in position. This bridge will be the first of the kind placed in this county. The span is 90 feet long and is much cheaper than the iron bridges, and it cost $700, while an iron bridge would cost $3,500. If this bridge proves a success the court will hereafter save more than one-half the cost of bridges in the county. The above bridges are used extensively in Kan sas and so far have given general satisfaction. Men all Solid Kip Boot? Men Service Hand Made Boots Mensuperier A'eal Kip Boots, all sizes....
