A company is wanting the exclu- sive franchise of the city for 20 years to construct a street railway from the public square to the depot. None of us can foresee the pos- sible outcome in Butler in the future. A few more railroads, some manufactories, and our beautiful lit- | tle city would spring from a city of five thousand to one of fifteen to twenty thousand.

The frightened ani- mals sprang forward and threw him from the wagon. The wheels passed over his neck and shoulders, para- lyzing him to such an extent that had he not had immediate assistance he would have drowned. Physicians were summoned at once, but all agree that his condition is precarious indeed.—Osceola Sun.
