WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1887 Clinton has organized a street car company with a capital stock of $12,- 000, and hope to get the road in operation this fall. The coroner's jury in the railroad wreck at Chatsworth, Ill., last week, fastened the blame on Tim Coughlin, the section foreman. Brooks, alias Maxwell, the St. Louis murdered, gets a new lease of life. His case has been appealed to the U. 8. Supreme court, which will hear arguments in October. It is as hard to hang a murderer in this country with money and friends as to drive a camel through the eye of a needle. The Hon. C. H. Morgan, of Barton, has received very many kind notices lately urging him to become a can- didate for governor. Mr. Morgan is busy with his ccal operations and can’t get away for some time yet. He is making money now, he didn't make any in polities.—Lamar Demo crat. Their horns are locked. A short time ago Ohio republicans in con- vention assembled, went through the formality of endorsing John Sherman as a presidential candidate in 1888. Recently the Pennsylvania republi- cans did the same for James G. Blaine. It is a fact in natural history, or zoology, that when two bucks lock horns they die.—St. Joseph Gazette. A severe hail storm passed over portions of Southera Nebraska and Northern Kansas on last Saturday doing much damage to property, growing crops, and killing consider- able stock. At Atchison hail stones fell measuring 9 and 10 inches in circumference, breaking half the windows on the north side of the houses, even breaking the heavy plate glass in store fronte. —_—. The twenty-fourth anniversary of the battle of Lone Jack, one of the hottest contested battles of the late war, was celebrated last week by federals and ex-confederates. The battle was fought on the 15th and 16th of August, 1863. The union forces were commanded by Major Foster and the confederates by J. V. Cockrell. Both commanding officers were residents of Johnson county and had known each other from childhood. The union forces with drew from the field on the night of the second day. The Rich Hill Review nominates M. 8. Cowles for the second place on the republican presidential ticket with John Sherman. Bro. Irish, through obtuse reasoning from cause to effect, discovers a deep laid scheme in the seeming coincidence of these two gentlemen going to Alaska at the same time. Verily, Irish has a great head. But why not? If a western man is to be chosen for this place, no better man could be found than Manning S. Cowles, and then the putting of such » man on the ticket might, that is perhaps, maybe, change the political status of the State. Let us have John Sherman and Manning S. Cowles byall meaner. aaa, Last Tuesday night as Samuel Gann, a prominent farmer living near St. Joseph, went to his well a few feet from his house for water, he was shot and it is supposed fatally wound- ed. No cause could be given for the shooting, and excitement ran very high and free talk of lynching was heard if the parties could be found. On Saturday St. Joe officers went to arrest Robert Laws for horse steal- ing and were compelled to kill him to prevent his escape. On exami- nation an underground stable was discovered with six horses and a large quantity of firearms and ammu- nition. It is now believed th t Laws is one of farmer Gann’'s would-be a J | OUR NEW ROAD. | The people of Butler have been | disappointed so often in their rail | road expectations that it seems almost | like heresy to attempt to encourage |them in the hope of another new | road. But our people rest easy in the consciousness that they did their duty in every project inaugurated, and if the roads were not built it was not our fault. However, failures in the past are no reasons why roads will not be built in the future. We now present our people with another railroad project which has all the appearance of being just what its projectors claim for it. We have a road bed, ready graded, which has long been an eye-sore to our people, but we do not believe there is a man in Butler who has not had faith that some day a road would be built over this grade. Now a company of gen- tlemen, financially able to carry through to suecess such a project, have declared their intention of building a road over this grade, a road which, when built, will prove a direct competing line to the Mo. Pac. road, and which, in paralleling the other road, will prevent the building of a town in the northeast part of the county to take away the trade of Butler, and at the same time gives that portion of the coun- ty all the facilities of an outlet re- quired to ship their stock and farm produce. Mr. R. C. Massie, of Rich Hill, who was directly instrumental in in- teresting these gentlemen in this matter, held out as an extra induce- ment to them that our people would do as much for this road as they of- fered to do for the Chicago & Ft. Scott road. At Butler about $15,- 000 was raised as a subsidy and the right-of-way from the river north to the county line was guaranteed. Now the right of way on this route would be much more easily obtained because of running north and south following section lines. We heard one gentleman say that he would give $500 tothis road, when he refused to @ive anything to the Harris road. Quite a number of others who gave heavily to the Harris road have said they would give the same ‘to this one or more. If there is a prospect for this road we cannot afford to lose it and if it is not built we are not out anything. These gentlemen are evidently in earnest and they do not have to make arrangments for the money as they already have it. WE MUST RAISE IT. For some time there seems to have been a cessation in the work of having Bates county suitably repre- sented at the great National Exposi- tion at Kansas City. The impression got abroad that the Bates county Horticultural Society had taken charge of this important matter and consequently there was a feeling of security among our citizens that the interests of our county would be well looked after. However, this is a mistake, while the Horticultural- ists are willing to assist in this matter they have not the means at their command to make a success, and therefore it becomes imperative on the citizens of the county to take the matter in hand. A number of enterprising citizens have determined to raise the money necessary to de- fray expenses and put Bates county where she belongs, at the head of her sister counties in the state. It has been estimated that $500 will be sufficient to make proper exhibit. This insignificant sum for so great an enterprise ought to be raised ina very short time. To do this, how- ever, it requires systematic work, therefore a number of our citizens will take up a subscription list for this purpose and deposit the money in the bank to be used by a proper committee appointed for that pur- pose. This committee will wait on you in a few days, so be prepared to donate as liberally as your means will permit for this, the greatest ad- Vertisement Bates county could pos- sibly have. eGQVU0 _—_—_—— An article appeared in last week's Trusentitled “Why am Ia Heathen?” by Woo Chin Foo, an educated Chinaman, taken from the North American Review.

From a J efferson City correspond- ent to the St. Joseph Gazette, we clip the following: The candidates for judge of the Supreme court thus far are Judge James B. Gantt, of Henry county, Judge H.

JUDGE KREKEL’S SUCCESSOR. It is the general opinion that Judge Phillips, of Kansas City, will succeed Judge Krekel and that the two senators, with the distinguished and influential members of congress from the northwest have agreed up- on him, and will recommend him to the President forthe position. Judge Krekel's condition remains the same. He is not expected to again hold court. Jerrerson City, Mo., Aug. 15.— The Kansas City & Rich Hill Rail- road Company filed artjcles of asso- ciation in the Secretary of State’s office this morning; capital $1,200, 000.

But he is nevertheless playing a very useful part in illustrating the condition of the organization.
