Within three weeks the Nevada Mail will make some valuable im- provements in their office in the way of machinery and a new dress for their paper. The machinery will be an improved Otto gas engine and latest improved Cattrell & Sons cyl- inder press for their paper. The Mail boys are rustlers and deserve the hard earned success which they have attained. Butler was alive with people Satur- day. The rack around the court yard was crowded with teams and the alleys and byways were filled. Barnum’s circus would not have drawn a larger crowd than was on our streets Saturday. The merchants {all did a land-office business. The people will come where they can get the best bargains for their money. On Sunday last F. Rogers, of Foster, arrived in Butler on the hot trail of a party he suspected of steal- ing some articles about his premises the night before. Here he was re- enforced by Sheriff Glazebrook, and came up with the party near Johns- town, but on searching the wagon the goods were not found, hence the man was allowed to proceed on his journey. Rev. J. A Poteet, Cumberland Presbyterian minister at Foster, was in the city Monday and gave usa pleas- ant calland had hisname enrolled for the Trwrs. He said before taking a county paper he had carefully ex- amined all of them, and showed his wisdom by deciding that the Tres was the onehe wanted.

Our acknowledgements are due D. R. Francis, mayor of St. Louis ani chairman of the presidential recep- tion committee of that city, for an invitation to attend a reception git- en Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland at the Lindell hotel, October 3rd from 3 to 6 o'clock. Butler Encampment No. 76, I. O. O. F., elected the following officers for the ensuing term, on last Thurs. day night: Grand Representative, J. W. Reisner; C. P., J. W. Tucker; H. P., J. W. Reisner; S. W., Jacob Beck; J. W., John Vancamp; Scribe, H. B. Robinson; Treasurer, J. N. Gipson. S. C. Franklin, deputy sheriff, went to Rich Hill Monday and took charge of F. Vanhorn, delivered to the sheriff by his bondsmen, and lodged him safely in jail. Vanhorn, a butcher at Rich Hill, was accused of stealing a cow from Wm. Henly, near Sprague, some time in June and At his pre- liminary trial he was bound over in the sum ‘of $500. Lately his bonds- men became uneasy, thinking he was preparing to skip out, and notified selling her at Ft. Scott. the sheriff to come and get him. M. G. Wilcox. living a short dis- tance west of the city, is a man after our own heart, and knows how to gladden the heart of the printer. Saturday he stepped into our offic and presented us with a good supply of the finest and largest peaches wi have seen during the season. They were of the Heath variety and almost as large asa tin cup. In additiont the above luscious gift, for which h has our most grateful thanks, he lai down $1.25 and ordered the booming Trues to follow him home for one year. Again he has our thanks an best wishes. Daniel Hart and wife, late of Rich Hill, were arrested by the Marshal in west Butler last week for keeping house of disrepute. They were ar- raigned before the Mayor and fined $50 each. The woman was released to care for her three small children. Hart was locked up and will be put on the rock pile to work out his fine A girl, 14 years of age, living with the family was also taken the marshal. She claims her parents live in Kansas, but up to date the marshal has failed to locate them, and we understand if they cannot be found efforts will be made to get her a home with sume respectable family in the coun- try. She is a very nice appearing young girl and it is to. be regretted that she was so unfortunate as to fall into the hands of such a degrad-| Eyen if nothing else is found the | ed and worthless set of people asthe | money invested in boring has been and costs. in charge by Hart family. |W. H. Warnock and wife, 8. F. | Warnock and wife, and Z. J. Williams W. H. Warnock received a notice from Mayor Francis that he was ap pointed on the reception committee to receive President Cleveland and party. David A. Colyer had a very fine stallion to die Monday night. Dave has had a hard streak of luck with his stock, as only last spring he lost several stallions in the fire, but he is made of that sterner stuff that never gives up. John B. Ennis and O. J. Wel- ton, who have been at Kansas City the past week arranging for the Bates county display, at the national exposition, came home Sat urday even- ing but returned Monday. They said that Bates county had been al- loited an excellent position, in the gallery of the first floor, with forty- eight feet of display front. That all the fruit displayed at the recent hor- ticultural fair ison the ground and being placed in position. The coal, wood, stone, ete., has not yet been shipped. The opening of the expo- sition has been again postponed to the 6th of October, when the mana- gers think the building will be com- pleted and everything ready to start. From a gentleman, who was pres- ent, we learn of a very interesting meeting, one night last week, in a school house not a thousand miles from Butler, the object and general nature of which was to organize a Union Labor Club. The chairman, prompted by a searcher after office in the new party (but who will meet with the same success he did in searching graves for buried treasures) informed the crowd that they could elect a secretary and then applicants for mourners would be in order. After considerable learned and en- tertaining discussions of the leading questions of the day the office-seeker, above referred to, introduced a res- olution of sympathy for the con- demned Chicago anarchists, and an- other to boycott all merchants of Butler who refused to patronize and support the “Labor Journal.” This is getting interesting, and the next thing in order would be for the business men of Butler to refuse to burn stove wood und go to using coal. Death’s Roll. Died, on Saturday, Sept. 24th, south of Butler, in Mt. Pleasant town- ship, Everett, three year old son of A. Rowden, of Typhoid malaria. Died, Henry D., son of C. Corbitt, of Lone Oak township, on Saturday, of spinal menengetus. Henry was an exemplary young man. Funeral services were conducted on Sunday. aged 52 years, of spinal trouble. e family of F. C. Smith for some time, died at his residence on Pine street e 0 e id d a where they were deposited. Three and One-half Feet of Coal. : well spent. Died, on Saturday, Sept. 24th., in Deer Creek township, Elizabeth Timmons, wife of Joseph Timmons: Miss Susan P. Taylor, of Lexing- ton, Va, who has been visiting the Tuesday morning, of typhoid malaria. Died, Friday evening, of Bright’s disease, Edgar O., son of W. H. and N.A.Hollaway. Edgar was 15 years of age, and had suffered for a long time with this terrible disease. He bore his sufferings with fortitude and when the dread messenger came to release him from its thraldom it found him resigned. The funeral services were conducted Sunday af- ternoon by Rev. W. A. Walker, at the residence of his parents, and a large concourse of friends followed theremains to the Oak Hill cemetery, The drill is going down rapidly, being kept going day and night. At the depth of 73 feet, reached yester- day at noon, three and one-half feet of coal was struck. When the coal was first touched the drill was taken out and the hole cleaned out, then the same operation was continued each foot, and a careful record kept. So we know that we have a 3} foot vein of cdal, the value of which it would be impossible to estimate. RUBBER Our line of Rubber Boots and Shoes is complete. We only carry the best quali- ties made.

Requa, of Lone Oak township, who was in the city Saturday, we learn that in his neigh- borhood and within a radius of five miles, over one thousand acres of potatoes have been planted this sea- son, of the Peachblow variety. The entire acreage looks very encouraging for a large crop, and one man, who has made potato raising a business for the past eighteen years, and who has this season two hundred acres planted, asserts that his yield will be one hundred and twenty-five bushels per acre. He also says he has re- fused an offer of fifty cents per bushel for his crop. The above proves that the soil of this county is not only adapted to the raising of king corn, and we are glad to see that our farmers are turning their attention to other crops which pay them far better. To be successful in raising potatoes, the the land upon which you plant must be loose sandy loam or ashy, and we predict that most of the soil between near Virginia. the same. ; beneath her fertile soil. | with good soaking rain Monday. ve this city and Adrian would prove to be excellent for this particular crop. From Capt. Holley Nickell, who was in the city Saturday, we learn that the officials of the Sabine Pass railroad, now being located through his section of country, have bought upwards of six hundred acres of land Several of the parties who sold were in the city Saturday, and P. C. Fulkerson was kept busy most of the day writing deeds for The company have also taken option on as much more land in the same locality. This move be- gins to look like business, so far asa certainty of the road being built is concerned. It is also stated that suit has been brought to gain an entrance into Kansas City. From present indications the Sabine Pass road is an assured and fixed fact, and the Trees takes pleasure in congrat- ulating the people of the western part of the county on being so fortu- nate as to secure so valuable a line of road. It will not only enhance the value of their real estate, but furnish them an outlet tomarket and open up the valuable coal fields which abound in that part of the county. There is no telling the fortunes that will be made out of the vast coal deposit in this county, and we would suggest to our farmer friends in every section of the county not to be too eager to dispose of their farms. This is a grand county, and the day is not far distant when the entire county will be grid-ironed with rail- roads seeking the black diamonds This section of country was blessed Wanted to exchange for a No. 1 Bates county farm, two dwellings and livery barn in first-class repair, all on the same lot, with three never failing wells of water.
