BUTLER MISSOURI WEDNESDAY, DEC.15 , 1886. OUB RAILROAD PROSPECTS. There has been very little said and done during the past six months by our people and papers in the matter ot railroads. One reason for this may be attributed to politics, and the other and main reason that no pros pect for a road has pointed strong enough to warrant the question being egitated and the hopes ot our people faised only to be disappointed. The C. B. & Q. road, which we so firmly anticipated last spring, and which promised to tap us on its way to the andeveloped southwest, thereby giv- ing us a connection almost directly with Chicago, is not being talked of, but we fondly hope and believe that the matter will again be agitated at ao distant day and the rvad built, which would be a great nelp to us wa developing the vast resources ot which our land is possessed The St. Louis, Kansas City & Colorado railroad is uncer way ot construction and coming this way. Kt is definitely located to Cote Camp, Benton county, and every tudication points to Clinton as a pot on the tine, The object of this company, @ often repeated, is to touch at Fi. Scott en ts way to the west and south, From Clinton the company bas given no intimation on what line the road will run to reach this poi. The company ts evidently not build ing the road for the name of it, but, from a comnon sense standpoiat, will build a road through that region where they ex,eci to receive the Gteatest dividends upon the money «nvested, and at the same time taking anto consideration the cost ot con- struction, and how bad the people along the route wan: a road and are willing to patronize it. Then, con- mdering ths as the object, the road will certain y come to Butler, for the feazons (1) that from Grand river, just west of Clinton, to Butler is u aatural survey, which could be atilized with very little labor and expense ; (2) the people along this route are tully alive to their own ‘aterests in this matter, as the en- thusiasm in the meetings held last spring will verity, and sigmity their willingness to help by voluntarily ‘nsuring the mght of way, tree ot cost, to the company. This route would tap one ot the richest countries én the west, both for agricultural and «mineral products; (2) it woulu strike Butler, which is the county seat, substantially built, has more wealth and is the largest town in the county and always will be. All the «reght traffic ‘from Butler would undoubtedly be sent over this line, *s at present she has no outlet to St. Louis. These and many more feasons could be given why this wou'd be the most practical and best paying route for this road, all of which have been presented by letter to the managers and through a com mittee of our best citizens at Clinton. There is some talk ot the St. Louis & Empona rpad being pushed east ftom Butler by the Missouri Pacific Company, which has that road under control. This would be of great benefit to our town and county, and we would be glad to learn that this amor has a substantial toundation, snd the people along the route will contribute their mite to assist in the good work. There is a standing railroad com- wmnitte at Butler ready and eager to embrace the very first prospect that aavors of a road tor us, but they will aot excite the hopes and expectations et the people until they have some- dlung tangible to work on. For the @*esent they have their weather eye om the St. L.. K. C1 & C. RL R, sed will give the news to the people | ® soon as anything definite de cened.

He had scarcely had time to get out ot town before the town board was called to meet that very night by McVeigh, president of the board The Morgan claim, which was in McVeigh took upon himself the | responsibility of signing the warrant which Brown had retused to sign, thus paving to Morgan a claim which | is being sued for by Dickerson, and | is now waiting the action of the court | of appeals at Kansas City. If this | case is decided in Dickerson’s favor | it places the members of the board | who participated in this action in an unenviable hight, and they will be held personally responsible tor such action. Some ot the board seem to think that they can pay both claims out of the city treasury. This is a mistaxe, as they will find to their sorrow when they attempt such a thing. The honest public despise and condemn anything which savors of jobbery, and this last action of the board is so plainly a job to accom - plish by a trick what it could not accomplish in a legitimate manner, that it will meet the universal con- demnation of all law-abiding citizens. Some ot the aldermen were so de- termined to pay Morgan, in spite ot law or justice, that they have made themselves amenable to this law they have outraged. By this action Morgan 1s paid for work he never did, and which the higher courts may decide is due another man, and thus the aldermen have made themselves liable to indictment by the grand jury for a misdemeanor. For further information we would advise them | to read Sec. 5003, Revised Statutes ot Mo.

Samuel Alexan- der, who is well known in Butler. At one time he was pastor of the M. E. church in Sedalia, but more recently presiding elder of the Springfield district. The tollowing is from Wednesday’s Springfield Herald: “Rev. Samuel Alexander 1s again in trouble. This time suit has been filed against him in the circuit court by Mrs. Cora E. Schell and her husband, H. Y. Schell, to compel the detendant to deliver a deed to his property on West Walnut street, which the petitioner alleges he con- tracted to sell to the plaintiff for $525 and a deed to eighty acres ot land in Miller county, $25 being paid at the time the contract was made. The deed to the Miller county land and $5,000 were ten- dered before due and retused, and Mr. Alexander reterred the at- torneys of the plainuff to his at- torneys. It is claimed that after the | contract tor the sale was made, Mr. | Alexander sold the property in ques- /tion to Mr. atan advance j Over the price contracted tor with Mrs. Schell, but this is not stated in the petition.’’ Uorine County Court Proceedings.

Wx. E. Watton, ns Trustee. Salt Rheum The agonies of those who suffer from severe salt rheum are indescribable. The cleansing, healing, purifying influences of Hood's Sarsa- parilla are unequalled by any other medicine. “I take pleasure in recommending Hood’s Sarsaparilla, for it has done wonders for me. I had salt rheum very severely, affecting me over nearly my entire body. Only those who have suffered from this disease in its worst form can imagine the extent of my affliction. I tried many medicines, but failed to receive benefit until I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Then the disease began to subside, the Agonizing Itch and Pain disappeared, and now I am entirely free from the disease. My blood seems to be thor- oughly purified, and my general health is greatly benefited.” LyMAN ALLEN, Sexton N. E. Church, North Chicago, Il. “My son had salt rheum on his hands and the calves of his legs, so bad that they would crack open and bleed. He took Hood’s Sar- saparilla and is entirely cured.” J. B. STax- Ton, Mt. Vernon, Ohio. From 108 to 135 “1 was seriously troubled with salt rheum for three years, and receiving no benefit from medical treatment I decided to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I am now entirely cured of salt rheum; my weight has increased from 66 Ibs. to 135.” Mas. ALICE Suita, Stamford, Conn. If you suffer from salt rheum, or any blood disease, try Hood's Sarsapariila. It has cured many others, and will cure you. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Sold by all druggists. $1; sixfor $5. Preparedonly by C. 1.
