Smith, on and Clark streets, was made by the presence ot alarge assemblage of neighbors and triends to do honor to the 47th anniversary of Mrs. Smith. A magnificent supper spreed for the occasion and a soci#l merry goud time was had pi Lexingtonton, Mo., sustamed one of the most terrible fires Monday night in the history of the place. An | entire brick block’in tront of the court nouse burned. Among the buildings destroyed was two banking institu tions, one of them being a magnifi- cent structure. The Intelligencer printing office was also destroyed. There is no teliing what the loss will be. The residence ot Mrs, Crabtree, hving 2 miles southwest of Butler, burned to the ground with all con- tents on Sunday night, the family barely having time to save them- selyes, Ed. Crabtree, brother ot Mrs Crabtree, escaped in his mght clothes by jumping from a second story window on to a teather bed which he had thrown out for the purpose of breaking his fall. The house was but recently insured in the Phenix ot Crooklin, tor $800, which will make the loss fall hyhter but will not near cover all damages. A genuine surprise and perhaps the most enjoyable dinner ever nad in Summit township, was at the res- idence ot S. C. McCutchen, on last Sunday, it being the occasion of Mr. B. B. Bigstatt’s birth day. About forty of the neighbors gathered in, bearing well tilled baskets. The ladies spread the tanles and ladened them with savory eatibles and all present showed their appreciation by the amount thev ate. The Times came in tor its share in the good things, as the ladies of old reliable summit never forget us. The Royce and Lansing Swiss Bell Ringers played to large houses at Walton’s Opera House on Friday and Saturday nights. The enter- tainment throughout was well re- ceived, the bell ringing was excel- lent, ana Miss Nellie Hoskins as a violinist and Ray L. Royce as a commedian, could not be excelled, while Mr. Web Lansing wasa_ reg ular brass band within himself, play- ing 0:. seven instruments at once and not making a discord. This troup is fully worth hearing. It 1s the object and duty ot the Tuazs to keep its readera posted as to where they can save money when they come te town. Who will sell them the most goods for a dollar. Where they can sell their produce tor the highest price, and who will turnish them the largest stock to se- lect from. In this connection we want to say Lyon & Wilhams on north main street, isthe place, They keep an extra large line of groceries, hardwage and queensware, and sell at bottom prices. Take our advice and go and see them it you want bargain. They also keep teed of all kinds, Butler Men in Lock. Kendall, Kan., Jan., 30.—News reached this city this morning that Kendall had been named as the temporary county seat of Hamilton county, and as a consequence there was good humor preyailing. Town lots at once took an upward boom, the manager of the Arkansas Valley Town company telegraphed from Topeka to the agent of the company, Mr. Cunfield, to add twenty-five per cent of the price of business and ten dollars to the price of residence lots. Six thousand do!- lars worth of town property was sold here to day and a large amount is to be taken on Monday. Every body is good natured and the town 1s on a boom.—Garden City Sentinel. The Town of Kendallis situated on the tract ot twenty thousand acres of jung bought by W. E. Walton last summer at two dollars per acre and adjoms another tract purchased at the same time by Drs, Evring- ham, Boulware, Christy and Tucker C. C. Duke, G. B.

Thursday evening last the resi. | Jefferson | was | UNWELCOME NEWS. | A Bates County Farmer Receives the Sad News of the Burning to Death of His Daughter, Her Husband and Four Children. } i Thos. Hunt. one of the oldest set- tlers and most highly respected citi | living near Al Friday zens of this county, was in the citv and | tona, recceived from his son, f Olymphia,W ashington territory,con veying the sad news ot the cremation ot his son in law, Henry Mamer, his wite and tour children, on December 14th, last The letter states that Mrs. has been an invalid ever since their arrival in the territory, and from the effects ot her disease and overwhelm- ing anxiety about loved ones left in this county, became demented at times, and it was while laboring un- der this aberation of the mind that sha took a can of coal oil and atter all had retired placed it under the bed and set it on fre. Mr. Manier as quick as pussible, jumped up and grabbing one ot the children raa into the kitchen and set it down, and re turnéd to get another, but the flames by this time had enveloped the room ard his clothing catching fire he was forced to make his escape through 4 window, closely followed by the old est girl, who escaped uninjured, but the tather, having received such se- vere injuries trom his clotning burn ing off him that he died the next ev- ening. The wife and tour children, who remained in the house were turned to a crisp, only tragments of their bodies being recovered from the ashes of the burnt building. Mr. and Mrs. Manier were both raised in this county near Altona, where they married and have since lived up to the time they left for Washington Territory, about a year Manier ago, and are well known to our peo- ple. The terrible affair falls heavy on the aged parents who are com- pletely broken down by the receipt of the letter from their son conveying to them the full and sad_ particulars. Judge Gantt in his charge to the grand jury, last Monday, remarked thata charge to a Missouri grand jury without a reterence to our roads and highways would be like Hamlet with the Prince lett out. But as strange as it might seem, it was his duty to say to the jury, that in his opinion, no indictment could be pre- ferred against a road overseer in Bates county,having adopted Town- ship Organization, the only penalty for misfeasance by the overseer was that affixed by section 7946, Revised Statutes of Missouri, 1879, which Provides t thattor atalureto repair and keep 1 in good order the highways ir, his township, ‘*he shall forfeit $20 to be collected by the township trus- tee for the use of the township.” This act being clearly inconsistent with the Statute—Section 6959, which provides for the punishment in all counties not having adopted Township Organization, by indict- ment orintormat.on, affixes the fine at not less than $5, nor more than $20, and being ‘in pari Materia,’ he held that it at least repealed the general law by implication. It pre- sents the novelty of a road overse er in Henry county guilty of a criminal offence, and his neighbor in Bates, holding the same offence, liable only in a civil action for one and the same offence. The Judge remark- ed ‘‘Enpassant’’ that he wrote to several lawyers in the Legislature last winter on the subject but it had no effect to correct the eglaring in- consistency. — Record.
