Very severe thunder accompanied the storm on Thursday night. The residence of D. C. Whitely, east of Butler, was struck by lightning. Damage was not serious. Appelton City and Rich Hill are working to secure the Emporia rail- toad. Committees have been ap- pointed, each place doing its best to attain the desired result. Butler should keep a sharp lookout too. A bounteous rain fell on Thurs- day mght. It extended from Kan- sas City to Joplin. It was especial- ly fortunate to the north part of Bates and south part of Cass as that sec- tion was suffering severely from want otrain. The corn will now make a tolerable crop though not first-rate. Luther Shobe sends a letter which is published this week. From its general tone we inter that he does not intend it as a very strong inyita- tion tor his friends to come to that country. Mr. Shobe is too much of agentleman to deceive anyone and we think his statements can be plicity relied on. im- It is reported that a gentleman, who was engaged in putting down a dnl near Burdett, suddenly quit work and went to leasing and buy- ing land. The two courses were so contradictory that considerable ex- citement is said to have ensued. If as reported, it would look a little as it something had been found. Dr. Perry was s called to D. Mur- phy’s in Summit tow nship on Tues- day, of last week, to see a sick child. The child died a short time after his arrival. In less than twenty min-| utes Mrs. Murphy gave birth to a/ child. Itis the only case we have ever known where a death and birth | come so nearly atthe same time | m one tamily. i | L. F. Page, of Adrian, was inthe | city, Friday. He is well pleased | With the prospect tor coal and oil at | that place and thinks there is a goo; show to strike both. If so, Adrian | will be one of the foremost places m Bates county. Mr. Page deserves Success for his pluck in prospecting | and we believe his expectations will be reahzed. | in this, theirhourof deep Quarterley meeting at the M.

Crabb, two miles from Rich Hill, has sold 640 acres of land tor $64,000 or $100 per acre. Still some farmers say it don’t make any differ- ence how much coal and oil is dev- veloped, it don’thelp them any. Ts land was sold to a wealthy oil firm from Pennsylvania. People along Mormon Fork cin make note of this and see what they are coming to. Rev. Geo. W. McMillen, formerly pastor of the Presbyterian church of this place, is back after an abscence ridge in Danger. The bridge over Elk Fork, east of | Altona, is in great danger of bein washed away. A mass of drift wood has lodged below and the under | bridge itselt. The next time the | creek rises it is expected the structure | will be swept away unless something is done. er township are very uneasy as its loss would prove a very serious in- | j convenience. It possible, steps | should be taken to save the bridge. It would be much cheaper than te build a new one. Festival. The testival given by the Woman’s | Christain Temperance Union last Tuesday evening, in the large store room until recently occupied by Sprague & Hunter, music dealers, was quite successful notwithstanding the excessive heat and rainstorm late inthe afternoon. Ice-cream, cake and refresements were and under the direction of Prof. Johnson, and Messrs. Hunter and Armstrong, excellent vocal music was furnished with organ accompaniment. It was avery enjoyable occasion and will doubtless long be remembered with pleasure by all who participated. The ladies of this society deserve much credit for their energy and zeal in the cause SG EG Altona. This will be one of towns of Bates county as soon as the road is finisted. Although there 1s no coal nor oil excitment, as yet, we dont believe they will fail to — find something valuable. They already have as finea tarming country as can be found in Missour: and_ that alone will support a thriving town. The citizens are enterprising and well to-do and will do everything requi- site to start their townon the high- way to prosperity. Another chance for speculating in corner lots will be offered, and, from what we hear, a large number will be ready to in- vest in ground and buildings at the served, the thriving of over ten years. He expresses sur- prise at the growth ot Butler and the development of the country. He has been located for ten years at Berrineville, Monmouth county, N.

He was warmly welcomed by a_ host of friends whose best wishes will ac- company him wherever his lot may be cast. Levy’s grand clear- ance sale for 30 days only.

Altona need have no iears of the future. Timely Suggestion. The Rich Hill Exterprise offers the following timely suggestions to the Hill and to the Review; The citizens should wait on our Walnut Street cotemporary and en- join it trom attacking Mr. Fox like it did Nichol. Mr. Fox represents the capital of the Emporia & St. Louis railroad. When youtraduce a man’s charac- ter without provocation or proof, you are taking a serious step ; the injured and insulted party should not be judged too harshly for resenting the injury. The smallest men eel turn being trod upon: E’en doves will fight in sateguard ot their brood. NEVADA NUGGETS. From the Vernon Co. Dem. Mrs. W. E.
