''1he Farmers Exchange. q
4 Few Plain Words to the PeO-

A BOYCOTT THAT DIDN'T WORK
The Attempt to Keep LeMar out of
Butler Flat Failure.

Butler a Flat Failure.
1u this age of common sense and |
old fashioned intelligence, high he
roics, brag and bluster do not win
in business; sooner or later they re-
act and injure the man who resorts
to their nse. In addressing these
words to the buying public of Bates
county, I do not seek to play upon
the sympathies of Or prejudices of
the people, or to affect the air of a
martyr. I merely desire to talk
plain, straight business and state
fatcs. When I bought the ground
near the depot, in Butler, where the
"Farmers' Exchange" is now located
it was with the intention of putting
in full line of my Mill products,
and in connection Herewith a stock
of groceries. I thought this was my
right as law-abiding American citi-
zen. I had no intention of injuring
any one and don't desire to do 80
now, but self. defense justifes me in
stating the plain facts. When my
building was ready I made an ap
pointment to meet Mr.. Sam Meyers,
(who represents the Ridenonr Baker
Grocer Coz il, Butler On April 3rd.,
but through misunderstanding he
left before 1 could get to Butler.
Having decided to give the firm my
order I concluded to wait until his
next visit, April 10th. l came to
Butler early in the morning and met
MIR Meyers; he made an appoint
ment to deal with me- When he
came he informed me iu the pres

was greatly surprised at this turn of
affairs. But | decided to go to Kan
sas City, and see if the influence of
these .nagnaniinous, public spirited
gentlemen would shut me out there
| found that it would not, I bought
a good stock Of groceries and paid
the cash for them; they are my goods,
I want to sell them and will do so if
straight honest dealing and reasona-
bic prices will DO it. But l have
been delayed two weeks by the self
ish,N unreasonabl ble actions OF said
grocery merchants. In the circular

caused mortal offense) I talked
about my own goods and my own

4 Cut in Western u. Il. Rates.

Chicago, June l3-Lines in the
Western Passenger Association are un-
easy on account of the threatened re-
duction of rates from the West by the
Great Northern They induced the lat
ter road to withhold its reduction for a
few days. but the news to-day that it
had declared a s25 rate from Seattle to
st. Paul was unpleasant and knocked
the wind out of the proceedings in the
interest Of harmony. 1t is believed the
Northern Pacific will meet the cut b.
bringing down its through rate to Chi
cago. This will involve other lines.
