In a Bad
Wm. Bailey, a young man living
near Johnstown, has been arrested
on an indictment on the charge of
having taken advantage of Miss
Anna L. Ramsey, a young girl of
the neighborhood, under promise of
marriage The victim of Bailey's
lust is said to be about 15 years of
age, and gave birth to a premature
child a few days ago. The trial of
Bailey is set for July 15th It is
said a brother of the girl on learning
tne lacts ot tne condition ol his sis
ter and the name of the young man
that had ruined her, armed himself
with a pistol, hunted Bailey up and
took him to Johnstown for the pur
pose of having him marry her. Get
ting to Johnstown Bailey consulted
with friends and then decided to
interview a lawyer instead of a mag
istrate and for the time being the
wedding was declared off. The in
dictment and arrest then followed.
The charge, of course, as the girl is
reported to beundei age.is a seriou?
one. The constable of the township
had young Bailey in charge and
while hunting bondsmen we under
stand gave the officer the slip, and
lit out for parts unknown. From
parties from the neighborhood we
are informed that both Bailey and
the girl victim are orphans. It is a
bad affair and Bailey should be made
to pay the penalty so justly due
young men who would take advan
tage of an innocent child.

Mr. W. E. Walton was out to his
farm in western middle Kansas to
see about harvesting his wheat. He
has one thousand acres of wheat
which, he says, will average 14 or 15
bushels to the acre. Mr. W. is en
thusiastic over that country. He
says there is considerable irrigating
being done by wind mills. That
farmers have quit depending on the
government and gone to work for
themselves and populism is a thing
of the past.
E. S. Carrithers, the popular
clothing merchant, of this city will
leave about the 25th of July for the
east to purchaae his fall stock of
clothing and gent's furnishings. He
will visit Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Mew York and expects io be ab
sent three or four weeks. He says he
proposes to take his time in buying
and to lay in one of the handsomest
lines of goods for the trade it has
ever been his pleaeure to buy. Mr.
Carrithers is one of Butlers best
business men and by the judicious
advertising and correct way of doing
business has established for his
store a reputation for square dealing
and honest goods to be envied. He
thoroughly understands the clothing
business aud as a buyer has few
equals. He keeps a splendid and
large line of goods and no store in
the community has more gentleman
ly or accommodating alesmen,
Messrs. Culver, Arnold, and Keas
ling to wait upon his large and in
creasing trade.
Wm. E. Walton will lecture at the
Cumberland Presbyterian church
next Monday evening. Subject:
"Some of the essentials to success.''
Our people should turn out to hear
a practical business man, who has
made a decided success in life talk
on this subject. You will be well
entertained and get valuable inform
ation. The male -quartette will sin er
some select songs.
Corn and Green Bugs.
C. H. Morrison, of Virginia neigh
borhood, was in to see us Friday.
He reports that a green bug is doing
damage to number of fields of corn
in his section. He said the "buc
worked on the root of the corn cut
ting the center root off. The stalk
then turns yellow and refuses to
grow, in examining several hills he
found the bugs, which are green in
color and about the size of a cin
&
head, working on the center root
cutting this off, they then go for the
smaller roots. Mr. Morrison says
entire field is effected by the
pests and as he has never seen any
thing like it before, he is at a loss
to know where they came from or
wdat they are. He reported the
oats and flax crop as never better.
Mrs. Porch, wife of J. W. Porch,
