Reynolds, were in the city solicit ing aid for the Murphy family of near Altona, who were so unfortu- nate as to lose their entire house- hold effects by fire Sundey the 17th inst. The dwelling in which the family lived belonged to M. M. Tuck- er, and was insured for $1,000. Mr. Murphy was a poor man and the entire loss of his household effects fall hard upon him, and it is a pleas- ure to see his neighbors and friends interesting themselves in his behalf.

Committees Appointed, Ete. Pursuant to a call, a large number of the business men of this city gathered at the court house Monday night to take into consideration the feasibility of patterning after our sister city of Clinton in sinking an | artesian well in or about Butler and to look after our railroad interests. A. L. McBride was made chairman and N. A. Wade secretary. After the object of the meeting | had been explained by Mr. Brugler, speeches were made by a number present and the most perfect har- mony prevailed. The meeting then took a business turn, and it was de- cided to at once make preparations to raise money to sink an artesian well. The following committee was appointed to solicit our citizens to take shares in the enterprise, the stock being put at $10 a share: L. S. Paddock, Dr. J. M. Christy, F. J. Tygard, Jno. A. Lefker and D. N. Thompson. The committee work at once. This is an important matter to the citizens of Butler and our people should take hold of the enterprise without argument.

It is accomplished by re- versing the scion—rooting the top end of the plant. To do this you bend the scion plant down and cov- er it with dirt. After rooting cut it loose and let the root end be up.

Prof. Tate, of Fulton, Mo., is in our city selling the Universal Histo- ry, by Dr. Ridpath.

If you go to a merchant tailor in Kansas to have a pair of pants made he will ask you if you want high pockets, and you inform him that you do. He will invariably ask, what size, pint or quart? From Jefferson Davis, Beauvoir, Miss.: “Asa book of reference I esteem Ridpath’s History of the World of very great value, and hope it will tind a place generally in the libraries of our schools, as well as upon the shelves of readers in every walk of life.” Sunday last some low-down, sneak- ing cur stopped the flow of water in Boulware Springs by tamping the iron pipe with mud. This is not the first time this dirty trick has been perpetrated, and a reward of $25 will be paid any one giving informa- tion that will lead to the captureand conviction of the perpetrator or per- petrators. At considerable expense NATIONAL AGRIUULTURAL EXPO- SITION. We are in receipt of the prospectus for the above exposition, to be held in Kansas City, beginning Sept. 15th and closes Nov. Ist, 1887. Prepa- rations are being made to make this ever held west of the Mississippi river, if not in the world. A very fine and commodious building has been erected, costing many thousands of dollars, and covering nearly three acres of land, a very fair likeness of which we herewith present to our readers. This building is designed fora permanent exposition building of Kansas City. In addition to the many other at- | tractions and displays, we learn from |a private letter from the secretary | that the following special feature is offered, which should be embraced by every county in the state, as not only making the exposition a grand success as a western institution, but advertising $the resources of the counties: 1. $200 for the best agricultural and horticultural display made by this spring has been fixed up for the convenience of the public by Dr Boulware, and a person that would be guilty of tampering with it is just a little bit too mean to be allowed to run at large, and we will guarantee. if he is caught, the severest penalty of the law will be meted out to him. eee A Good Appetite Is essential to good health; but at this season is often lost, owing to the poverty or impurity ot the blood, derangement ot the digestive organs, and the weakening effect ot the changing season.
