There may be other walks of life in which
Senator John B. Hompe would shine pre-
eminently above the versatile Sage of Mimi

compared with Donneliy, Senator Hompe

Mimi esota candidate for president of the
United States is proceeding to write the dis
tinguished senator from Otter Tail county

Strattou Il Free Man.

John E. Stratton, who was sent to
the penitentiary from Bates c3un, Y
Ill July, 1888, for man slaughter in
the second degree. was released from
imprisonment recently and is now III
Schell City, his old home.
Stratton and a man named Heath,
who at one time lived near Tabor

back with ii knife, and Bill Blue,
who WAS also at one time resident
of this p.ac~, an / who was :. friend

enemy Heath died from his injuries.
Stratton Was sent up for five years
and WAS released on the three-fourth

While III the penitentiary Stratton
worked i'll the shoe department and
his task VAS to trim 10 dozen heels

are employed by the contractors.
The state is paid so cents a day for
this labor.

The democratic party this time in
Bates county to be successful must
be very careful of its nominees.
There are only five Offices to fill aud
the country must be given IA fair
representation on the ticket. Then
agaiu, the nominees must be men OF
pure private cEaracte., ard free
from entangling alliances with
cliques and factions. 1t would be
dangerous to nominate man, no
matter how worthy ana competent
otherwise, who has been using his
political knife in the past in paying
debts, or furnishing enemies. This
time there must be men who are un

he Johnson county grand jury
makes the following pertinent rec
concentrations in its report to th .
circuit court, all of which might
profitable apply to Bates county's
poor farm:
We have visited the poor farm.
There are fourteen inmates who ex-
press satisfaction at the treatment
OF the keeper, who We believe, is do
ing his duty as best he can. But
the building in which these unfor.
tunates are cared for are without
ordinary comforts. They seem to
have been planted upon barren
tract of land as remote from the sym.
pathy of populous centres as posi-.
BILE, as if it were a crime to be poor,
and punishment were intended In
stead of charity. The whole condi
ton of the premises indicates but q
perfunctory regard for those whe
are unable to help themselves. The
ample taxes paid by the citizens Of
Johnson county should be judicious
ly expended, but one of the first con.
siderations is the health and com.
fort of those who suffer enough by
being simply the county's poor.
We recommend, therefore, the
sale of this poor farm. the purchase
of another near some one of our
thriving towns, the erection of ade
quate buildings and the Ornamental
ton of the grounds, that the civiliza.
tion of rich county may not longer
be disgraced.

In a private letter Judge Dear
mond expresses the following patri-
otto sentiment in regard to return.
ing before the adjournment of con.
gress to look after his political
fences: II think I'll not get back
home until after congress adjourns.
1t is my disposition to stick to my
post and discharge my duty to the
very best of my knowledge and abil.
ity. My good, generous friends
will not find fault with me for leav-
ing my case in their hands while
attending to the peoples business
here"
The above is sentiment worthy
the patriot and statesman he is, and
the people in whose hands he is will
ling to trust his ''case," will remem,
ber Judge DeArmond by keeping
him in congress.

A Nebraska farmer sat down the
other day and figured out what could
be made from bushel of corn. and
here is his verdict: "A bushel of corn
can be made to produce four gallons
of whisky, which when made ripe
by the rapid process, will sell for
four dollars per gallon. amounting
to sixteen dollars for four gallons.
OF this sixteen dollars the farmer
gets twenty five cents. the govern
ment gets two dollars. the manufac-
turer four dollars. the vender gets
six dollars and twenty five cents, the
user gets the devil. and the producer
and tax payer foot the bill. Union

We take pleasure in calling atten-
ton to the announcement OF d. a
Colyer for sheriff. Mr.. Colyer is
well known to the people of Bates
county, having made two very cred
liable races before for the same Of
flee. He is an honorable, high minded
gentleman, courteous, clever and ac
commodating to all and well qualifi
ed to perform the duties of the of
flee to which he aspires. He is a
gool democrat, and always takes an
active interest both before anl after
the nominations. Mr.. Colyer came
to Butler from Kentucky early i'll
the eighties and his Interests have
since been allied with those of our
people. He is at present serving Z
the people Oh the city council, and
is making a popular and efficient of
fcer If nominated he will make a
strong race and poll the full strength
of his party.

If the mayor and board of alder.
mea desire the distinction of being
the most cordially hated gentlemen
ever in Butler let them put an occu-
patton tax upon our business men.
They already pay an immense tax
for the privilege of doing business
in the city, now to force an addition
al hardship upon them is the last
straw to break the camel's back.
The Butler weekly times., 1892-05-18

A certain paper in this town, be
fore the election. kept it continually
before the people that there was to be
no occupation tax levied. That same
paper is now paving the way for an oe
cupation tax. The revenue is sufficient
to run the city and make all needed
improvements, and the mayor and
city council had as well understand
at the very outset that the people
will not stand an occupation tax.
