The Butler Week! n Gi nies. BUTLER, MISSOURI, WEDNESDAY, MARC ENDS IN DEATH. Highly Accomplished | Young Lady. | Jeffersonville, Ind., March 16.— “Miss Anna Maria Hermann, who was [bent from this city to he county poor asylum, sixty-two days ago, died in thatinstitution yesterday of starvation. Miss Hermann was a lady of superior intelligence, a native of Germany, and tor a time taught languages in this city to a few young ladies. One day ‘in January last she suddenly became violently in- sane and was arrested. She re- quested the arresting officer to kill her, as she desired to go to heaven | without delay. When this was re- fused her she determined to die by starving herself. She was sent to the insane department of the Clark county poor asylum near Charles- town. The visiting physician and the superintendent used every effort in their power to induce her to par- take of food, but to no purpose. She would drink a little water once a day for awhile, but lately had been unable to retain water on her stom- ach. Many persons have doubted the statement of Superintendent Baldock to the effect that she had fasted during the time stated, but as he is a responsible and truthful gen- tleman, his statement canrot be suc- cessfully contradicted. He said toa reporter: ‘‘I am certain she has not taken a drop of water or a morsel of food without my _ knowledge. Frequently we would place tood be- side her at night and it would re- main untouched. Sometimes we would put some nourishment in water, but she would spit it out as soon as it touched her lips. She would drink nothing but pure water A CARD. tion, Epiror Dauty Times—As I am the individual who is not in a fellon’s , cell as ‘‘Temperance’’ would have every liquor dealer, but am the very naughty naughty man who is trying to organize the ‘Liquor Dealer’s Mutual Aid Association’? for the sole benefit of the widows and or- phans, | have been asked why I did not reply to the dirty attack made on the organization by the sneak who | was too cowardly to write over their own signature, but hid behind the Temperance mask. Truly there is no language, unless I referto the 5th verse, 17th chapter otf Revelations, that would depict the character ot a person who is so lost to charity and 20 heartless as to make such a thrust | at an organization askidg no outside aid, and the only object of which is to provide a fund tor the relief of widows and orphans. Let it be of any class, high cr low, and whether the husband and tather was a saint or smner. Giteau was a great cow- ard though he pursued his victim openly, but the viper under the guise of Temperance is a greater one.— The article written by Temperance, in the minds of respectable people is its own answer.

The reporter was surprised to notice such large stock’s of goods carried by the merchant’s in Adrian, and his natural inquisitiveness led him to ask where the trade came from to support or justify such steck’s, when he was acquainted ; with the fact that Adrian controls a scope of country from ten to | twenty miles in diameter Mr. A. J. Satterlee is snugly quartered in his new building to which heis making an addition. He is having boxes etc., arranged in good style for the Post-Office which will be turned over to vim on April 1st, by Mr- Moudy who resigned the position, and Mr. Satterlee hav- ing been appointed his successor. Mr. Moudy has made en accepta- ble post-master, and no one doubts thatthe trust has not been well placed in the hands of Mr. Satter- lee. &. P. Cox is doing a splendid business in the grocery and_hard- | ware line, of which he carries a com- plete and choice stock. Mr. Cox is an industrious and popular young man. D. C. Edwards & Co. are doing a good business under the skillful management of Capt. E. A. Stolp, whose experience is that of a life- 1 i Tuesday, whena doctor called upon hér. she said: ‘I did not send for you, and as you are intruding, I wish you would retire’? From avery stout person, tweighing more than two hundred pounds, she was re- duced to about eighty pounds, and the little flesh which clung to her bones was almcst mortified, having turned blue. In the last few days hundreds of persons have called at the asvlum to see her, many of them living far away. It is probably the longest fast ever accomplished by any person in this country. She was fifty-rour years of age. Henry County Democrat :—The amount of public school money to be | distributed this year to. counties in!
