Make No Mistake. If you have
made up your mind to buy Hood's
Sarsaparilla do not be induced to
take any other. Hood's Sarsaparilla

power superior to any other article
of the kind before the people. For
all affections arising from impure

is unequalled. Be sure and get

The Poultry King.
If there is a merchant in the city of
Butler that deserves the friendship
and patronage of all our people it i3
our esteemed friend Peter Lane, the
dry goods merchant on the west
side of the square. Mr. Lane came
to this city about two years ago,
and by energy, pluck and enterprise
has won a name that is a household
work in nearly every home in Bates
county. Mr. L. has not only been
a benefit to this community in sell
ing dry goods cheap, but the lasting
praise of our people and especially
the farming community is due him
for his magnanimity in raising the
prices on their poultry, eggs, etc.,
which they had to market. In this
respect Mr. Lane has been a public
benefactor to the farmers, as he has
paid during ins residence in our
city prices that were never heard of
before. To prove that his efforts to
advance the interest of the farmers
have been appreciated we have only
to cite the fact that Mr. Lane has
been compelled to drop the old bar
barous way of shipping poultry in
coops and now loads them in palace
cars and lets them go in style and
comfort to the eastern market The
Times is glad to speak a good word
at any and all times for Peter Lane,
the Poultry King of Bates county
and the true friend of the farmer
While the above is all true the farm
m-s will remember that Mr.
Lane is still at his old stand in But
ler, and wants all the poultry and
eggs they will bring. Three cheers
for Peter Lane's success during the
year 1890 should be shouted from 1
the throat of every farmer. . j

An Old Man Fired.
Wrashington, Jan. 3. Thomas A.
Jones, employed in the tool room at
the gun factory of the navy yard,
has been dismissed because it was
learned that he assisted John Wilkes
Booth to escape after the assassina
tion of Lincoln. Jones is an old
man. He says he helped ferry
Booth across the river. He did not
know when he started to do so what
he had done. He declines to say
who assisted him in taking Booth
across the river. Jones was ap
pointed during the late Democratic
administration at the instance of
Congressman Compton, of Maryland.
Jones is not ashamed of any act he
has ever done. Mr. Hudd, who is
contesting Compton's seat, brought
the charge against Jones as part of
his case against Compton.
