New and substantial build- Butler, the County Seat—Its Growth | ings are taking the place of inferior | and ts—Favorable Ac- counts From All Sections of the County—Progress and improvement Seen in All Quarters, [Rich Hill Review, March g.} Saturday last a member of the Pe- view staff made a business visit to the county seat, and also improved the opportunity to become thorough- ly acquainted with the characteristics of the city of Butler. In the way of improvements, both public and pri- vate. the county seat is making as- tonishing headway. On almost ev- ery side the visitor witnesses foun- dations being prepared tor massive brick or stone buildings—some of which, as for instance the Walton Opera House and the new hotel soon to be erected, will be models of architectural beauty. On the for- mer, which will cost $20,000, work is progressing as the season will per- mit; while, as regards the latter, the preliminary steps are soon to be taken for active work. The Opera House will occupy an entire corner block, as will also the new hotel, composed of three stories. Both locations are well chosen for the purpose ineicated, being contiguous to the public square, and within the circle of active business. Several brick business houses, on a large scale, will, ina few months more, uccupy the sites of dilapidated struc- tures ; other important buildings are projected in different sections of the city, and are to be erected this spring and the coming summer. When these various buildings shall have been erected and finished, the aspect of the city will be totally changed-— superior buildings usurping the place of many of merely ordinary charac- ter, and thus giving the city a more inviting appearance, witb architectu- ral features significant of metro- politan exclusiveness. Many tasty private dwellings have been built the past year throughout the city, and we are told that a number of beautiful and costly residences will be erected this year in the ‘‘additions”’ made to the town. Several of the streets are being macadamized, oth- ers are about to be widened and straightened, while two or three broad streets or avenues have been laid out, and an extension made of one or two others. A number of fine residences are designed to be erec- ted on choice, eligible sites in these new sections of the city. There is one blight spot in Butler which de- serves special mention and unlimi- ted condemnation—and that is the county jail. It is « mean-looking, contracted, insecure building, un- worthy of the growing city in which the unsightly prison is located, and a monument proclaiming the dis- grace of the rich, influential and pro- gressive county which tolerates the nuisance. It is high time the people voted a jail commensurate with the wealth, population and demands of a county of 35,000 inhabitants, and afew years more to reach 50,000 souls. The trade ot thi city seems to be in a healthy condition, and is drawn from a large section of the country, even from the extreme northern townships. The strictly local trade is constantly increasing and bocom- ing more valuable through the mul- tiplication of population by virtue of emigration from other states. Avery 1 throng filled the town Saterday and business activity seemed to be the rule. We met men from every township in the county Saturday and trom the following towns and villages in the county, namely: Burdett, Adrian, Altona, Cove Citv, West Point, Lone Oak, Mulberry, Vinton, Johns- town, Virginia, New Home, Hume, Sprague, Pleasant Gap, Papinville, Rockville, and 1t is hardly necessary to mention Rich Hill, which we might say is daily—even hourly— represented at the county seat. A tree interchange ot views and opin- jons with men from the several town- «ships disclosed the fact that a whole- state of affairs existed in every “saction of the copnty. A constant inward flow of emigration os the best possible class is observed, lands are steadily appreciating in value, thrift is witnessed where, a tew years ago, a hand-to-mouth living alone was vouchsafed, and poverty itselt was considered almost imminent.. Im- provement is seen on every hand; town and country :¢ every section of the empire of is mounting to the upward plape in her career of rogress—capital taliscoming in,skilled jabor is sorkageesy changes,and the process ot sclopment in agri- cultural and mineral resources is of the kind to assure results proportion- ate to the better order o things the last year or two. ‘There is no apprehension of the future of the townships or the entre county. T held, must grow and augment in material wealth. ones, and all the signs indicate a healthy progress and general pros} This favorable condition of affairs | in Bates connty is reaching upon the two leading trade marts of the coun- ty—Butler and’Rich Hull, and both must feel the stimulus or renewed ac- tivity in business, develop ito large manufacturmy centers, and before | | many year asseme the front rank among the prosperous cities of South- west Missouri. : We had been made aware of the pleasant social attributes of the citi- | zens of Butler and others; but our! experience of the same were suffici- | ently sweet to cornpel us to vow that we should ‘‘call again.’? A multi- phcity of business deprived us of the oppertunity to call upon the press- gang, but we shall surely do so on our next visit, when we expect to be dressed in our ‘*soger cloze’? and look a little nicer then we did Satur- day last. SIXTEEN YEARS AGO. Memories Awakened By the Late Garfield Memorjal Ceremonies As the whole Congress wis thus | gathered in one body the day of Blaine’s address, the mind went back | by irresistible association to another Monday in February. sixteen years ago, when Congress gathered forthe first time in American history to com- | memorate a murdered President. The contrast between the zssemblage of that day and this is # striking illus- tration of the rap.d shifting of our public men to and from the scene, and the swift changes in the life of the Nation. It is only sixteen years ago since George Bancroft sooke his eulogy on Abraham Lincoln, but only nineteen men who were mem- hers of the Congress which listened to him are in Congress to-day—two } Senators, Messrs Anthony and Sher- | man, and seventeen members, among them Messrs Kasson, Randall, Kel- ly, Voorhees, Allison, Dawes, j Windom and Morrill, Rutherford B. Hayes, Roscoe Conkling, James A. Garfield and James G. Blaine were members of that House—Garfield then only 34 years of age and already taking a high place, and the brilliant young leader from Maine, already near to the Speakership. The Pres ident of that day is dead. Nodoubt, as he listened to Mr. Bancroft’s ora- tion he was meditating the famous erenade speech delivered ten days later, which was the beginning of his apostasy, Three of his Cabinet are dead, and the Chief Justice ot that day and the President of the Senate, Lafayette S. Foster, and a host of great ones, with them. A new generation has come on the stage. The country has lived through a lung history in those sixteen years. Grant was present at that ceremony in his Lieutenant-General’s uniform, and was greeted with applause. The stormy eras of reconstruction and Grantism was yet come Jefferson Davis was still a prisoner in Fortress Monroe, and Alexander H. Steph- ens—whose shrunken figure is usu- ally seen in his whee ed chair in the space in front ot the Speaker, but is missing to-day—had been a few months before released from For Warren. Senators Vest and Cock- rell, who are sitting to-day side hy side in places of honor as Senators, were then prisoners of war, paroled by the United States Government, Senators Hampton, Coke, Lamar, Mahone, Maxey, and Ransom like- wise. Eleven States were under military rule—twenty five States only were represented in the ceremonies, and the blacks had not been enfran- chised. In the audience that listen- ed to day to the oration, with the hale old man of eighty-one, who sits in the front row otf the audience to- day, were all three of Andrew John- son’s successors in the Presidency down to the present—Grant, Hayes and Garfield. Wirz had been hang- ed just three months before for crimes he never committed. The grand final review ot the war had taken place, less then a year before, and it was not until several years after that Washington, now that rarely beautiful city, had a jubilee over getting sts principal avenue well seems to be begging. ain’t large you know, Two deputy Sheriffs were killed by the Pueblo Indians in New Mexi- ico Territory the other day. The stealage The war entailed upon the country the Morrill tariff bill, which has cost the country more in a financial point of view, than the war did. Independence Mo., is doing a live- ly divorce business. Only thirty cases of that kind on the court dock- et for trial at the present term ot court. The Kansas City Evening Star says that Kansas City is in sort of a chaotic state at present. tion will be worse that chaotic in the future. * The Democracy of Osage are fortu- | nate in having a self-appointed ring- master. The next thing in order is the appointment by him of a ‘*ring- mtstress.”” Frank Trimble, ex-officio Tax Cellector of Bates county, is collect- ing back taxes. Parties in had better come forward and pay and save further cost. Wonder if the Republicans in Congress, with the help of the few wet weather Democrats, won’t cannonize Grant Then we can call him St. Grant. Mrs. J. H. Trimble recently sur prised the members of her family by the purchase of a very fine piano from the well known and reliable house of Sprague & Hunter of this city. - Hadn’t some of our enterprising men of Butier better put themselves in communication with Ury & Co. of Warrensburg in regard to the remo- val of their toundry to this city Think ot this, will you?
