The west part of the ceunty was considerably excited a few days ago by the erroneous report that Frank James had been assassinated. We publish a very sensible article from the Adrian Advertiser this week bearing upon the business and trade of the two points. It is worth reading. Schuyler Ison, an old and respect- ed citizen living east of Butler sey- eral miles, died on February 24th, ef congestion of the lungs. His death was very sudden. Miss May Anderson, one of Carthage’s handsome and accom- plished belle’s in company with her uncle T. J. Howell, tavored our sanctum with a call on Monday morning. Miss Anderson is a cous- in of Jas. B. Howell, an attache of this office. Special attention 1s directed tothe advertisement in the Timms Real Estate column, of a business house and lot in Adrian fer sale. The property will be sold at a bargain if applied tor at ths agency within the next thirty days. From a gentleman frem the west part of the county, we learn that a corps of engimeer’s of the C. & A. railroad, passed through that section last week making a survey in the di- rection of Ft. Scott. Our informant was unable to say from what point the party had started. G. W. Jarvis ot Henry county, and J. H.

On the first day of May 1882, amid great enthusiasm, ceremony and splendor, Moore’s magnificent Opera House at Nevada was dedi- cated to the muses. The chivalry, beauty and intelligence of the ‘Gem City’’ assembled in gorgeous attire and vied with each other in making the scene one of unsurpassed grand- ure and gayety. But, figuratively speaking, it was but a moment so, and then a cloud of gloom over- hung the city, the grand Opera House was one hugh mass of smoul- dering debris and the people were in mourning over the loss of their **pride.”” Scarcely had the ashes time te get cold when a dozen or more men were at work with pick and shovel removing the pile of brickpats to make roum for the rebuilding of the structure on the same foundation. March ist, 1883, is here, just ten months from the date of the first ded- ication, and the work is finished; anew Opera building more secure and imposing than the first is thrown open and the gilded chandelier spreads its rays over a mere beauti- ful and crowded audience. The scene is sublime, typical ef men’s courage and enterprise, and a mon- ument to him whose pluck and gen- erous spirit merits the eulogy and emulation of an appreciative and hospitable people. FORMAL CEREMONIES. The details of the second open- lug are voluminous and interesting, but we cannot find room for a very minute description, At the ap- pointed hour the master of ceremo- nies for the evening, Mr. Kimball, introduced Judge Burton, who ad- dressed the throng in a well pre- pared speech which elicited fre- quent applause. Short addresses were also made by M. S. Cowles of Rich Hill, Dr. Kepler, of Ft. Scott and W. O. Jackson of Butler. Closing the fermal ceremonies was aspeech from M. T. January, on behalf of the young men of Ne- vada, presenting Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Moore with a yery handsome silver water seryice. THE CURTAIN RISES. }ler and Ft. Scott delegations were accompanied by bands. The But- ler band, of which the Electric City is always proud, outdid itself with its fine new silver and gold mounted |horns. The boys wore their at- | tractive uniforms and Nevada peo- ; ple were enchanted with their excel- | lent music and dignified appearance. | On our editorial page will be tound | a large advertisment of P. J. Jewett that enterprising, businees-like fur- | niture dealer on the east side. This house never falls behind in the varie- ty, size and price of its stock, and as a natural consequence its trade never lags, but is always tothe front and equal if not superior te and house in the Southwest.

It isa tact that Mills & Lacy, manufacturers of | embalming fluid, Grand Rapids, | Mich., have on exhiniticn the body of a child that they embalmed with their fluid and have kept four years in -a pine box, which. as yet shows no signs of decay. The only perceivable change being the gradual shrinking caused by the evaporation of the fluids by the body. While we may not care to keep our friends any great length ot time it is of interest to know that they may be kept without discoloration or offen- sive oders by this means until friends or relatives arriye.

The Butler Times is disputing with the Harrisonville Democrat, as to whether Adrian is sapping the Butler trade on the north.
