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. This conclusion is
arrived at from the fact that some
of the best legal talent in the state
will be present and take part in the
disposition of its business.

The Democrat makes a very broad
assertion when it savs that ''Messrs.
Francisco and Graves made all ar
rangements and merits all the

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-

petition.
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.
