The county court has decided to
6ubmit the proposition of building
a jail again. JSj next Tuesday you
will again have the opportunity of
saying whether you favor a new jail
cr T'hether vou favor sending Bates
county prisoners to Clinton, Nevada
and Harrisonville. The proposition
this time is plain and simple, the
court asks you to vote 12$ cents on
the one hundred dollars and they
promise to build Bates county a
$10,000 substantial jail. There will
be no bonds, the tax will be direct.
nd no man who pays taxe6 on one
undred dollars worth of property
will feel the l'2i cents additional
ax. In short the jail will be built
and no tax payer will know that it
as cost hiin a cent. This is not a
iarty issue, it is a question ot pure
economy ana every man in iates
county should vote for the proposi
ion. The jail is built to protect
le law abiding citizens from the
icious and wicked vote for the
ail and let us have a good substan
tial building of our own to retain
the criminals of this county.

A special session of the City Coun
cil was held Tuesday night of last
week, to consider the feasibility of
submitting the question of Water,
Gas aud Electric light works for
Butler. The onlv proposition sub
mitted for the condideration of the
Council, was that ot Dr. Betz. in
which it was agreed to put in three
plauts at a cost to the tax-payers o
fifty eight hundred dollars per year
The Council after considering the
matter, bv a unanimous vote decid
ed to accept the Doctors ordinance
aud the same was put to its first
reading. At its second reading the
necessary amendments will be made
by the Council, and should changes
made by the Couucil be acceptable
to the Doctor, the ordinance will be
put to its final reading aud passage
at the first regular meeting of th
Council in November. After which
the ordinance will be published an
submitted to a vots of the people
Provided the proposition receives
the sanction of the people, then Dr
Betz, proposes to put up one thou
sand dollars without reserve as
guarantee of good faith that he wi
comtlv with the dictates of the
ordinance. Fiftv eight hundred
dollars a vear looks like a very stiff
price for the tax payers of Butler to
rav for water and light, and in our
opinion it will take some pretty fa
financiering on the part of the coun
cil to figure out just how (withou
materially raising the taxes) they )
would be able to meet the expense
and keep up the actual aud necessary
running expences of the city govern- j
ment. However, we shall look into
the matter fully, later on; when we j
mav Lave something more to sav.

Omaha. Neb., Oct. 21. Since the
passage of the McKinley bill the
state has been given the benefit of
wide publication of manufacturers'
circulars, notifying dealers of in
creased prices, owing to increased
tariff. This has had a very depres
sing effect on the republicans' cam
paign. Yesterday Congressman
Dorsey sent the following telegram:

lave manufacturers quote lower

bill raises prices. If this is not done
it will cost thousands of votes in
