BUTLER MISSOURI WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1587 ———$— — — — — — — ——————— The Missouri bar association will moet at Sweet Springs Thursday and Friday. Jake Sharp, the millionaire bribe giver, finds truly that the course of tho law breaker is hard. If he does not die in the meantime, he will probably spend a term in the State ponitentiary. A. A. Talmage, the great railroad manager, died suddenly in his pal- ace car near Peru, Ind., the 28th jast. He was on his way to the takes for his health. On another page of this paper will be found a short sketch of his life and ¢areer. We are sorry to say that we have uo railread news to give our readers this The legislature has now adjourned and that exeuse can no week. longer be given for not pushing the railroad building. However, we are in hopes that in a few days watters will assume a brighter aspect in this respect. ‘The Board of Managers of the um have elected the fol lowing officers to manag 1e insti tution: Dr. R. F. Young. of Jeffer- don City. Superintendent; Hon. Wim. Munro, of Chillicothe, Treasurer; Alfred Cummins, of Nevada, Stew ard, Dr. Jas. Gordon, of Columbia, and Dr. George P.

The resolutions were tail over until Wednesday last when a vote was taken on them, resulting aa follows: For impeachment. 40; egainst impeachment, $6. Seven Democrats and two Knights of Labor voted for impeachment, while eleven Republicans and two independents voted against impeachments. Chicago, IIL, June 30.—The Rail- way Age to-morrow will print a report showing that between January i and Sune 30 there were laid in the United States 3,754 miles of new main line track. From the present indications the Age believes that the total for 1887 may surpass that of any pre- vious year in the history of the country. ‘There seems to be a hitch in the water works proceedings for Butler. The city attorney, T. W. Silvers, has decided that the amount to be levied each year to raise the amount of rontal will exceed the constitutional fimit. What the board will do in the premises we are not advised but are satisfied they will move cautious ly and if the law will sustain them in such actions will submit the prop osition as published in the Tres of fast week. There is no doubt that the people of Butler want water works, and the time is ripe to vote them, but the board will have to keep within the pale of the law. ——_—_——— éadge Foster P. Wright died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Laura T. Dake, in San Diego. Cali- fornia, Friday last. As a lawyer and jurist Judge Wright had few equals t this state, and having served al- most a quarter of a century on the bench in this section of the state, is wellknown by all the old setilers of this county. At the time of his death he was upwar ds of € yes ts of age, and had gone to the aden spot of Califor » sper the balance of his orite daughter death. while duane | } Secretary Lincoln jis } THEIR LABOR ENDED- The legislature has at last adjourn- led. Whether it accomplished the | full purpose for which it was re- leonvened, we think exceedingly | doubtful. But a railroad law has been passed, and, considering the | desperate and bitter opposition to this kind of legislation and the vast influence brought to bear against it, we believe the friends of railroad legislation—the friends of the people and against the corporations—took the lesser of two evils and made the best compromise they could. With the amendments tacked on in the senate and accepted by the house, the bill was much improved. At any rate we will have to wait and see the effects of this, and the inter state commerce bill, and if they prove to be what the people want, or tend in that direction, then we can hope for an extension and expansion of these principles in the future. In the mean time, what kind of a report will these legislators, who went over to grasping monopolies, heart and soul, take home to their constituents? Can they say that we have been true to our trusts and protected your in- terests, lived up to our solemn cath of office and obeyed the constitution of our state and our conscience are clear, or will they have to explain away certain transactions that does not appear exactly right on its face? An honest, conscientious man rarely has any explanation to make of his actions. Weare glad to note that Hon. J. H. Hinton stood square by every pledge he made his people, and can return home with the honest conviction that he knew his duty and did it. So with Senator Sparks; the trust his people placed in him has not been violated. THE SAME OULD FIGHT. Speculation is rife just now as to who will be the candidates of the two great parties in 1888. In about one year from now that matter will have been settled and the great national battle of polities be upon us in all its fury. The contending forces will be so nearly equal that everything will likely depend upon the wisdom with which a general is chosen. If the democratic party makes no mistake in this matter, victory is assured before hand; if they do, then it is liable to be sent back to that darkness in which it groped for so many years and from which it emerged to view the light in 1884. The opinion is fast gaining that Grover Cleveland will be his own successor. He entered upon his duties at a most unpropitious mo- ment for himself. The republican party had held power for twenty-four years, and continually the ery had been sounded that the democratic party was incapable of managing the affairs of the nation, that a demo- eratic president meant the southern confederacy again in power, and the like accusations. But by the wisdom of his administration he has turned the flood back upon the heads of these vile calumniators, and the people have enjoyed the best and most economic administration and prosper ous era known to the history of the country. Every pledge made by the democrats before the election has been religiously kept. Cleveland has proven himself a man of broad views. a deep and logical reasoner, a great worker, always on the alert and at duty's post, and a will that is in. domitable—a veritable counterpart of the immortal Jackson. The republican party is at sea just now in the choice of their standard. bearer. The plumed knight has been tried and failed. John Sherman was the choice, but his bitter sectional speech at Springfield killed his pros- pects in this direction with the more | Levi Moler et 2 conservative element of his party of, probably because of the evidently the best so far. s chances are | Gregory. and there | grec : saa grieviously sinned by leaving you out of the fold; you will please come | in and take a seat at the right hand | of the most high. i Yes, the fight will be the same as i it was before.

If they nominate | their own candidate they will not ma- terially effect the result, or if they go as their conscience dictates it will be the same, but if they conclude to endorse either of the old parties, then they may hold the balance of power. } Mount Vernon Jail Break. | Pierce City, Mo., June 27.—Mt. Vernon, this(Lawerence) county, was the scene of a jail delivery yesterday morning, in which several prisoners made their escape. Mike Horner, who was treated as a trusty, had been sitting in the office talking to the guard, Charles Warren. At1 o'clock the guard opened the jail door to lock Horner up. As Horner entered he was knocked down and Warren was confronted by C. O. Carter with a revolver. Carter fired, the bullet taking effect in Warren's neck, inflicting a serious though not fatal wound. Carter and six other prisoners ran out of the jail over Warren, then picked him up, forced him into the jail. locked the door, and made their escape. Those who escaped were C. O. Carter, sentenc- ed to be hanged next Friday; Dave Williams, charged with horse steal- ing; W. C. Watson charged with forgery; Isaac Boren. forgery; W. M. Roberts, charged with rape; New- ton Woodward, rape; Murray, petit Four other prisoners— Mike Horner, T. Kelton, Sam Ryan and Lou Coffey—made an effort to lareeny. escape. Two of the escaped prison- ers were caught yesterday evening, but Carter is still at large. He well armed and will undoubtedly make a desperate tight before being captured. Officers and citizens are still out in pursuit and it is likely most of the fugitives, if not all. will be recaptured. Locating the Colorado. J. D. Clark, living near Tebo creek, about 11 miles east of Clinton, was in the city to day, visiting Mr. E. D. Canan. M. Clark also came in for the mail for the surveying and locating corps of the Colorado road. He says the surveyors have been camped near his farm for two or three days and have been running back and forth, but started west toward Clinton this morning. They told him emphatically that they are locating the line as they go, and will cross Tebo about three-fourths of a mile south of the wagon bridge.— Clinton Democrat. Circuit Court Proceedings.

Terrible Effects of a Drouth in Western Illinois and Wisconsin. aig ae Cambridge, Ill, June 30.—The country is burning up under the blazing sun. now prevails has existed in this sec- tion of the country for many years. The roads are ankle deep with dust. the pastures are brown, the leaves of the forest and shade trees shriv- eled up, and each hot breath of air from the cloudless horizon drives them away in showers. Creeks have run dry and the water in the larger streams is at a lower stage than was ever known before. Many wells have been pumped dry. and in cases water for family use has to be car- ried one or two miles. There has not been a soaking rain in this part of the country since March. Two showers in April and one each in May and June had but a temporary effect on crops. Unless a heavy rain comes speedily all kinds of grain will be well nigh destroyed. Stunted yellow spears bending dis- consolately over immense beds of dust are the only evidence that the farmers sowed any corn this year. The leaves of the fruit trees are fall- ing off, and the fruit which promis- ed to be plenty is wrinkled and dried to the stem. Raspberry bushes look as though they were producing 2 crop of shot, so infinitessimal and hard are the berries. The drouth has become so terrible that public prayers are being offered for rain. The fences along the country roads and the dead walls of the villages are plastered with huge yellow and red bills calling for spe the district houses and churches. High Life in Dakota. Among the presents received by cial service at school the young people were the following: From groom to bride, one bull- pup, one yaller dog, pair water span- iels and a meerchaum pipe, with to baceo. From bride to groom, one good shot-gun, one bowie-knife, rifle and three dogs. From parents of bridegroon, one fiddle, one banjo, spotted pup and six pounds of tobacco. From the Shotgun club, of which the young couple were members, one English mastiff and a pair of silver-mounted pistols. It is seldom that a young couple start out in life so well equipped for perfect happiness, and Jack and Jule have our best wishes.—Dakota Sunflower. Being More Pleasant. To the taste, more acceptable to the stomach, and more truly beneficial in its action, the tamous California liquid truit remedy, Syrup of Figs, is rapidly super- seding all others. Try it.
