John Pharis, R. F. Canterbury, W. M. Mize and T. W. have all been mentioned as possible candidates for mayor. Either of the above named gentlemen would make a good mayor. Silvers Our enterprising grocer, Willis Womack made an invoice on the Toth inst. and found on a casual footing that he 1s ahead one boy, tipping the beam at 12 pounds, aver- dupois, down weight. Just as we yo to press Mr. D. H. Wartord, ot Altona, dropped in and informed us of the death ot Mrs. Laura Moore, of near that place which occurred on last Wednesday. She was a most estimable lady and the Times deeply regrets her taking off. One ot the finest and handsomest phaetons ever brought to Butler is the one ordered by T. W. Legg tor J.R. Jenkins. It cost, at a reduced price $260. With his” handsome and spirited young horse Mr. Jen- kins now has a conveyance second to none in the county. Judge J. B. Gantt passed through this city Saturday on his way home from Butler, where he had been at- tending court. The Judge was suff ering some trom a bad cold, but otherwise looked hale and hearty. It will not be long before the Judge will be called upon to bear the Dem ocratic flag in another important campaign. - Harrisonville Democtat, G. W. Keller, ot Pieasant Gap township, gave us a pleasant cull Monday. He intormed us ot a de- bate he had participated in a tew weeks since in Deepwater township, wherein Judge Wix was his princi- pal opponent for protective tanff, He said that in all probability the debate would be tried over again at no distant day. We ure satisfied that Mr. Keller will sustain his side of the question. A committee composed of Capt. F. J. Tygard, J. M. Catterlin, G, A. Tedd and J. D. Allen, went to Mingo township on last Wednesdav on business appertaining to securing the right of way through that town. ship, tor the C, Ft. S. & Texas rail road, and Capt. Hannah John At- kison and E. A. Bennett, went to Shawnee township on the same business. A committee ot gentlemen from Montrose: Ed. Taylor, F. A Wil- liams, and G. W. Benedict, of the Herald, were in Butler Saturday for the purpose of looking after Mont- rose’s interests in securing the Em- Poria extension. Mr. Benedict gave us a pleasant call and informed us that his people stood ready to per- form any reasonable demands these People migut make upon them, that they needed the road and must have it, or words to that effect. The people of Montrose are full of vim and pluck and will put forth every effort. and no doubt deserve recog- nition. The Nevada Mail of the r1th inst. tells of a brutal rape made by ope Geo. Goss, on the person of his cousin's wife near Sheldon, Mo. It appears that Geo. Goss went to his cousin’s house under the influence ot whiskey and, finding Mrs. Goss alone, made indecent proposals to her and on being indignantly retused accomplished his foul Purpose by force after a desperate Struggle in which nearly all of the lady’s cloth- ing was tora off. On leaving he met the husband a short Jistance from the house and offered him a drink, which he took. The rapist then escaped, since which time the whole country 1s being scoured by a sheriff’s Posse anc indignant citizens, who, no doubt will deal summarily with the villran it caught. _ Geese Eee Mabel McKibben entertain- Mmber or her friends Thurs- sMng with an‘elephant’ party. ¥ Pyle took the first prize; Mat hand mirror, and Winnie the booby prize.

Dr. J. A. Goslin, of Altona, gave us a pleasant call while in the city Monday. He informed us ot the serious illness of Joe Reeder, young- est son of Oscar Reeder, county Treasurer elect, with Pneumonia. Mr. Reeder had intended moving to Butler last week but was preventel by his son’s sickness It will be seén by a card in another column that Dr. Goslin intends removing Altona. He is an excellent physi- cian, a good neighbor and will be greatly missed by the good people of that section who have hecome much attached to‘ him. E. D. Warner, living two miles south ot Amoret, Mo., called last Saturday. Mr. Warner was seem- ingly full ot glee over the prospect of securing a railroad at Amoret. A company, the Topeka, Amoret & Southeastern, has been tormed, and a charter filed at Topeka. The capital stock of said company is $15,000,000. When completed the road will be 580 miles in length. It ts to run from Topeka southeast through Kansas to Amoret, Mo., and thence on southeast through Missouri to the Mississippi river. The company says trains will be running on the line before fall. Mr. Warner also intormed us that the parties sinking the shaft at Amoret had struck a four foot two inch vein of good coal at a depth of fifty-six feet. Mr, Warner’s farm is under- laid with an excellent quality of coal and he has much cause tor teeling jubilent over the proposed railroad, as_ it will greatly enhance the value of his property.—Pleasanton Herald. If you want any tavors of a news Paper, you strike your home paper, don’t you? If you want your town boomed, and your real estate increas- ed thereby in value, you expect your home paper to do it, don’t you? You kick because there is not as much news initas the Globe Democrat, don’t you? But onthe whole vou think a newspaper is a “*mighty good thing tor a town,” don’tyou? And you preclude a newspaper from thinking that the town is a good thing for it. by not giving it sufficient ad- vertising, don’t you? Andthen you sneak off and get your job work done at some other town, don’t you? And you are under the impression that editors can live on wind, or be torever digesting the sweet and con- soling tact that his paper 1s “‘a good thing for the town.’” But he can’t do 11; Can he ?—Ex. A serious runaway occurred Sun- day atternoon on the race track, when J. M. Holt and Miss Nellie Childs were thrown trom a buggy. Holt had his arn. broken and Miss Nellie sustained a severe shock and shght bruises. It seems that several teams were on the track at the time, and Mr. Holt, haying a fast horse, attempted to pass the one in frort of him. when the wheel ran upon a slight bank and turned the buggy over throwing the occupants out with above result. Miss Nellie was taken in a buggy by Geo. Williams and carried home and Drs. Boulware and Boyd were summoned and set Jimmy’s broken arm. While his injuries are not considered serious by the physicians, they are very painful and will lay him up tor some time. Miss Nellie received a severe shock and was delirious the entire mght, but Monday morning, her father informed us she had complete- ly recovered. The buggy was com- pletely demolished and the horse was considerably bruised and cut up.

We are imformed that upon further examination of their resources the Board think they can run nearly throughout April. But for extraordinary expenses, in the Way ot rents and fixtures &c., the school would run tull 9g months. The new school building will be | ready by next September. The Board will ask an additional levy the same this year as was voted last. We hope the people will exercise their usuai good sense and vote a 9 months school. Township Convention. Pursuant to call of the township committeeman, the democratic voters ot Mt. Pleasant township met at the court house on last Saturday, for the | purpose of electing delegates to the county convention county school commissioner, on next Saturday, and also take steps in re- | gard to nominating township officers. John T. Smith was elected chair- man, and P. C, Fulkerson secretary. On motion the following delegates were elected: Fred Cobb, Thomas Walls, C. R. Radford, J. R. Simp- son, Kk, S. Catron, J. R. Jenkins, J. C. Morris, S. P. Francisco, and Wm. O. Jackson. The delegates were instructed to cast their vote for W. W. Graves for county school commissioner. On motion, next Saturday, the Igth day of March, was fixed as the time for holding a primary election to nominate township officers. Polls to open at 2 o'clock and close at 7 p.m. An assessment of one dollar was made on each candidate to detray expenses of said election. The fol- lowing judges and clerks of election were appoited: J. L. Ludwick, W. T. Heath and Morris Keys, judges ; Wm. J, Tucker, and A. T. Sims, clerks, Farewell Soldier Boys. The mintia bill was defeated in| the House last week by a vote ot 65 yeas to 68 nays, Just atter the vote had been an- nounced, Miss Annie Jamison, daughter ot the adjutant general, walked up the main aisle bearing a mammoth shield of red, white and blue flowers, making a beautiful im- itation of the national flag. With flushed cheeks and a firm step that betokened the soldier’s daughter, she marched to the desk ot Henry Shaw, the young member trom St. Genevieve who, as chairman ot the committee on the .nilitia had so gal- lantly advocated the passage of the bill. She placed the shield on his desk, and in the center of the shield was the word “‘Thanks.”” The ap- Plause was great. Then a huge floral frame, the flowers also being of red, white and to nominate a} Inthe death of Capt. James B. Eads, St. Louis loses an eminent citizen and the country a renowned engineer. Hehad the tortune to live in an age devoted to material achievements, and he was not only a distinguished representative of its spirit and tendencies, but he con- | tributed a full part in illustrating its conquests. An age given to “rune ning to and fro’? renders engineer- ing a supreme necessity, and de-/ mands engineers of the highest or- | der, and Capt. Eads was one of this kind. If he ranks below Lesseps in the greatness of the works he leaves behind him, he was not inferior to | Lesseps, nor to any other man living | in the greatness of works he was | |capable of domg. The study of mighty river currents and innunda- tions; the forces of wind, wave, tide | nd moving masses of ice, and ot | the resisting capacity of stone, iron, | steel and wood { was a passion with | him from a boy; ana the ambition to devise structures of earth, stone, wood and metal to control floods. deepen river channels and afford safe highways tor the transit of great streams otf commerce over difficult places was an irresistable and consuming enthusiasm, under which his frail powers ot body broke down at last. There 1s ttle doubt that his lite was shortened by tle j Intense study he gave to the Tehuan- tepec ship canal, an enterprise which he hoped to execute and leave be- | hind him as the crowning achiev- | ment of a career distinguished by | achievments. He studied the hab- its and forces ot the Mississipp1 un- der diving bells and in diving armor atthe bottom of the great river, with forty feet of mud and water above him, and there acqured the knowledge that made him the _ best authority on river dinamics in the world; and he was permitted to turn the knowledge thus laboriously and painfully gained to account in the | construction of the jetties that per- | torm such valuable service at the | ; mouth of the great river. The gun bouts he built during the war ren- dered inestimabd!e service to the goy- ernment, and were an illustration ot a genius versatile enough to essay any task involving the tofces of nature. But the steel arched bridge which spans the river at St. Louie 1s, perhaps, the work that will stand as the most conspicuous, beautiful and impressive ot the monuments he leaves behind him. If another gréater bridge has since been con- structed between New York and Brooklyn, it owes a great part of its success to the new methods first j used by Capt. Eads in the building {ofthe great piers and the noble | tarches of the St. Louis structure, lestiocks 1s a lasting memento of his | daring genius.—Mo. Republican.
