The Democrat has particulars of the suicide of John Conrad, a farmer, residing about two miles east of Montrose near the Missouri Pacific railroad track. Conrad took his own life yesterday afternoon, between 3 and 4 p.m. From the best informa- tion attainable, Conrad loaded a double-barrel shotgun and placing the muzzle against his forehead, pulled the trigger of both barrels with his cane. The discharge fright- fully mutilated his head and face, and death must have been instanta- neous. His gun and cane were lying near his body when found. The shooting took place on the farm near the residence. Deceased was about | 50 years old, and a German. In 1886 he was marrird to Mrs. Fliza beth M. Guenther, who had long re sided in that neighborhood, and whose husband was killed during the war. For several years Conrad’s conduct toward his wife and younger children has rendered their domestic relations very unpleasant, and recent- ly Mrs. Conrad began suit for di- voree in our circuit court. Her pe- tition alleges dissipation and cruelty. —Henry Co. Democrat. We take pleasure in calling atten tion to the official statement of the Butler National Bank, in another column. The statement shows the Bank has over $110,000 loaned out. $62,000 available cash, with deposits exceeding $104,000. The showing is a most excellent one and speaks volums for the management of this institution. No more able financiers can be found in the west than the | officers of this bank, which is in good | condition and well deserves the confidence and liberal support it | receives. | Mrs. Mary Ball. of Kansas City. who has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Vancamp, return- , ed home Saturday evening, accompa- nied by her sister, Mrs. Hattie | Vaughn. | W.

The Bates president, Dr Lee. being absent. the society was called to order by First Vice Pres. Dr. Bates, Dr.J. R. Boyd. There was a good attendance and | much interest manifested. Dr. Shelton, of Summit township. was received into the society. } Dr. Walls read a paper on Malaria! Fever, which was discussed at length | by Drs. Gilmore, Renick, Be vulware, | Shelton and Bates. It was pro- nounced by all a very able paper, and } was ordered printed in the Kansas | City Medical Record. | The question was raised as to | whether or not it was ethical for a! regular physician to hold a consul- tation with irregular physicians. It was discussed in all its different phases, and the society decided to adopt the American code of ethics which prohibits it. The meeting adjourned to meet! the first Tuesday in October, 1887. | Bates County to be Represented. Pursuant to the call a large num- ber of citizens met at the court house on Saturday afternoon for the purpose of making arrangements to have Bates county represented at the National Exposition at Kansas City. A number of the townships were rep- resented, and those present showed by their actions that they meant | business. The following gentlemen ‘made talks’ full of wisdom and to the point: Rev. A. Walker, Judge Robards, Henry Speer. Judge Fran- L. B. Noland. Ar- | rangements were made to appoint cisco and Rev. one man in every township as a com- | mittee to look after this matter. The following committeemen were appointed at the meeting: I. N. Mains, Pleasant Gap; H. Purand, Prairie; Capt. J. B. Newberry. Deep- water; Dr. L. M. Wright. Grand River; Rev. A. Walker and Jno. S. Francisco, Mt. Pleasant; Judge Robards to visit Adrian. The com- mitteemen from the other townships will be appointed and notified. The Rich Hill committee will appoint those south of the river. Wm. E. Walton was elected treasurer. Thus the whole machinery is set in motion to have Bates county represented creditably at the Kansas City Na- tional Exposition. A meeting will be held at the court house next Sat- urday evening to receive a report of all the committees. Let the people take an interest in this matter and wake up to a realization of the ef- fort being made. Don't failto go to the Star Shop to get a good job of tire setting. All work warranted.

Work in this enterprise will be pushed as fast as money and men can do it. Judge Heylmun, well mown civil engineer in this and ad- joining States. lately with the Chica- go, Burlington & K. C. Road, leaves to night with a full corps of engin- eers to commence the survey from Kansas City Southeast to our city. Starting from the K. C. Belt line, it will for the time being have terminal facilities in this city. It is one of the best lines for Kansas City and Rich Hill yet proposed, tapping, as it will, the rich coal fields of New Home, Homer and West Point town- ships. Theodore Case and S. P. Keller are in the city and will drive over the route of the proposed road at once.—Mining Review. Spruce Leaves. Corn cutting will be the order this week, or rather fodder cutting. Mr. Sidney Graham is quite sick. Dr. Walls, of Butler, is attending him. The picnic at the Snodgrass church was one of the most pleasant affairs we have attended for a long time. Although the committee were disap- pointed in not having the speakers they intended, there were so many little private speeches, and every- body was so sociable and pleasant, that the absence of ‘prominent speakers from abroad” was not re- gretted by many. Rev. A. B. Martin of K. C., made a pleasant little talk, in which he referred to the many “anxious” seats in his church, and the need of better ones, after which the hat was passed tor the benefit of the church. We learned that the receipts from all sources were be- tween $90 and $100. The singing was splendid, and the only thing that excelled it was the abundance of good things which covered the tables at dinner time. Mr. Henry Olliver seemed to be presiding genius of the whole affair, except at the table, where his fair lady, assisted by her handsome daughters, Misses Millie and Mattie, seemed to rule. It was a time long to be remembered. We almost forgot to say that Dr. Choat did not run any races as was said he would. Elmer DeBek is back from Kan- sas.

We understand that one of our young ladies, Miss Josie Moore, was united in marriage with Mr. Charles Hill, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, on July the 24th, Rev. Philips officiating. Dinner being served, the couple started for Montrose, where they took the train for a tour. We wish them much joy. Miss Belle Moore, a graduate of the Missouri State University, will teach in Appleton City this fall and winter. ADMIRATION.
