Mr. Carnes informed us that the above is correct in every particular That his information from head quarters was to the effect that the Emporia was to be extended as tast as the worx could be accomplished, over the line above indicated. That Butler would be the end of a divis- ion, the central point for all the feeders of the Gould system in south- ern Kansas and Colorado. This would naturally make Butler the point where the company’s shops and round houses would be located, and Mr. Carnes assures us that he will use his utmost endeavor to have this result brought about. Whocan estimate the value to Butler of such action on the part of said road. I would bring a large number ot la- boring men and mechanics into our where railroad matters of importance to Butler and Bates county were dis- cussed. The soliciting and mght of way committees were urged to pros- ecute their labors more zealously. Mr. Harris impressed upon these committees the importance of prompt and efficient work in this matter and the limited time given to accomplish the work.

This showing is certainly highly satisfactory to the officers and stockholders as well as to the many patrons of the bank. It reflects good management on the part of the officers and the large deposits 1s un- disputed evidence of the confidence the public has in the bank as a safe depository for money. The Butler National Bank is a solid and pros- and under its President Cleveland showed nerve and firmness to equal that even of old Hickory, in his veto of the pau- per pension bill. If there was ever any doubt ot his renomination on account of his silver policy, or civil service ideas, it is now dispelled and he will surely succeed himself on the ticket and in the executive office. Prosperous little city of from ten to fitteen thousand inhabitants. We confidently look for a perman- ent and lasting boom to Butler the coming the hke ot which has never betore been witnessed. season, FOR BUTLER ALONE. Butler has pursued a neutural course in the contest between Rich Hill and Foster, tor the proposed Chicago, Ft. Scott & Texas railroad and we dety any one to prove the contrary. Being an active member of the working committee, we speak trom personal knowledge in this matter. It is true that certain indi- viduals in Butler who are interested financially in Foster would preter, trom a financial standpoint, to see the road go to thattown, not because they would detractfrom Rich Hill, but because of personal interests. For the same reason we know of a number of gentlemen in Butler who not only subscribed more liderally on condition the road would run by way of Rich Hill, but subscribed a liberal amount to that town direct. The committee that represents But- ler in this matter discussed this very question at the beginning of its work and decided that Butler would look to her own interests in the matter and not take part nor parcel in the fight as between these contesting points. Rich Hull, however, if her journals voice the sentiments of her people, seems determined to com- pel Butler to forego this resolution in self detense. We do not believe in retaliatory methods except in ex- treme measures and then the provi- cation should be great, but the ques- tion naturally arises how much can suffering humanity bear without resisting the contumely heaped upon it. perous institutions, present able management of Wm. E. Walton, one ot the best financiers in the west it is bound to keep up its present high standard. Mrs. Druse, tor the murder of her husband, was hung in New York last week. It was one of the most revolting and inhuman murders ever committed in this country. After shooting her husband to death, she took an ax and cut the body into small pieces and creamated it in the stove, assisted by her 15-year-old daughter. The daughter was sent to the penitentiary fur life. The announcement ot Zib J. Wil- liams, candidate for collector ot Mt. Pleasant township appears in another column, Zib isa home man in every sense haying been born and raised in Bates county. He ig a live, ener- getic young man, fully competent and well qualified to perform the duties of the office tor which he asks. He is democratic to the back-bone, and it nominated and elected he will make a careful collector, and the delinquent list will be small. Washingtonians thought it a cap- ital joke when Frank Ward hired a band of colored musicians and march- ed them up in front of the White House, where they played four sep- arate times ot a serenade, ‘*There’s a New Coon in Town To-Day.” This was very funny, and the next day the Senate completed the joke by promptly deciding that the new coon should remain im town a couple ot years, time enough for some of the newness to wear off.—K. C. Times. ‘ —————__. The bill which passed the Senate, the House amendment being agreed to, provides that all holders ot trade dollars may, present them at the Treasury within six months and re. ceive standard dollars in exchange, dollar for dollar. The trade dollars so received shall not be paid out or issued, but must be recoined into standard dollars, and such coinage mest be in addition to that required by the act of February 2S, 1878. ‘Thurs will result in a considerable in- crease of legal-tender silver dollars. Up to July, 1377, the trade dollars coined amounted to $24,581,000, and the comage was continued for Some time after that date. Nearly il these coins not melted down are ill in the Umited States, and no bt a large number will be pre- d for redemption.” A Railroad Combination. St. Louis, Mo., March 3.—The western railroad properties ot Van- derbilt and Seligman, New York and Boston imterests, are, it is said, about to be united, with St. Louis as the initial and terminal point, by way ot the Kansas City Short Line and Missouri Central (consolidated), and the St. Louis, Kansas City and Colorado railroads. Tne fusion, while not contemplating a union of the entire Vanderbilt and Seligman systems, anticipates, however, the closer running arrangements. Pians have progressed so tar, contingent only on the erection of a new bridge over the Mississippi river at this point. It is said that John D, Perry, of this city, has been offered the presidency of the new consolidation. eo V. B. Van Dyke shys his castor in the ring for assessor of Mt. Pleasant township.
