The day dawned clear and beautiful and by teno'clock the streets around | the square were literally packed with people come in to enjoy the 4th. The grand procession was formed headed by the Butler Silver Cornet Band, followed by the G. A. R. com- pany, the jubilee singers. the drum corps and people in buggies, wagons and on horseback. At the grounds speeches were made by Rev. W. A. Walker and Rev. Browning. The jubilee singers entertained the crowd in with a number of select songs. The drawing of the ladies’ saddle and bridle was a very interesting feature of the occasion.

Saturday night a couple of boys were tantalizing the Chinaman, on Ohio street, by placing fire crackers under his house and shooting them off. The Chinaman, not enjoying the fun, grabbed his pistol and, as the boys ran off up the street, fired several shots at them. This is not the first occurrence, and the Ties thinks it is about time our officers were putting a stop to such pro- ceedings before some innocent party is wounded or killed. If the China- man has no more sense than to fire his pistol promiscuously on the streets it should be taken from him, and the boys who are mischieviously annoying him arrested and punished. The time has come to call a halt.

Wuereas, 2bout twenty men of this township have met and issued certain resolutions reflecting upon }eortain officers of the law in Bates county, and censuring the grand jury in its action in the Anderson case. Be it Resolved, That we, a humble portion of the citizens of Hudson } township. are unwilling to be mis represented in such a way and by such self styled conservators of the public morals. And that we, incom- mon with all loyal people, have no | sympathy with willful and malicious violations of law who commit crime for crime’s sake. But on the other hand we are not so infinite as to see difference between red-handed assassination and the slaying of a fiend who has forfeited all right to life by comnnitting an outrage that shocks the common instincts of hu manity, and inflicts a wrong upon lis victim and her immediate rela- tives which can only be expugned by blood. Also be it further Resolved, That we are willing to defer to the good judgment of the no grand jury. which has examined luany witnesses concerning — the cries of Vandenberg and Anderson, has by its indictment for ler in the second degree virtual- ly acquiesced in the opinion of the Prosecuting Attorney that Vanden j berg w uty of the rape as a L; that we have ful! faith in honesty and intents of our officers of the law. and j Whereas. of men are trying to set forth to the world that we, the people of Hudsou township, do con- dein the wronged girl who was so cruelly treated by a fiend in human form, as unworthy of belief and eon- fidence. Beit” Resolved, That we say to all whom it may concern, that we will give her word all due credit and that she or any other woman in like circumstances may counton us asa people who are a friend to woman- kind, and that in this special case we do hold up her character as good and exemplary and worthy of the respect and confidence of all men, and that we will continue to do so until it is proven to be un- worthy of sympathy. Also we herein challenge any one to make a defam- atory statement against said girl and stand by it. Also that we do Lamar, Mo., July 4.—During a | power to appoint a committee of five | condemn all persons saying to an thunder storm to-day at Nashville, twenty miles southeast of here, in this county, and where the citizens of the surrounding country were to draft resolutions suitable to their opinion.
