BUTLER MISSOURI WEDNESDAY, OCT. 12, 1887. Ln President Cleveland will lay the i+ corner stone of the new Y. M. C. A. * building in Kansas City to-morrow, between the hours of 10:30 and 11:30 a mM. President Cleveland has consented to stop off one hour at Springfield, and the good people of that place ere all excited over the coming event gnd elaborate preparations are being made for the reception. We are more convinced than ever €hat Grover Cleveland is a man of destiny. The weather last week was all that could be desired until the presidential party reached Madison, where they stopped over Sunday, when it set in and rained until Mon- day morni..g, when it again cleared » Off pretty and bright, giving them delightful weather for their journey. Iu a sermon at the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal church, Wash- ington, D. C.. Sunday evening, the Bev. John P. Newman said that the condemned Chicago anarchists should have been hanged long ago. His audience rose with one accord and cheered the speaker. Cheers ina church have the merit of originality, to say the least. The Fifth Annual exhibition of the Kansas City Fat Stock Show Association occurs Thursday, Oct. 7th to Thursday, Nov. 3rd., inclu- sive. At the earnest solicitations of the Fat Stock Show, seconded by the Live Stock Exchange of Kansas City, the Consolidated Cattle Grow- ers’ Association meets at Kansas City during the Fat Stock Show. ‘This fact will lend interest and im- portance to the occasion. — It is rumored on our streets that the Labor Farm Journal and the Republican of our city are about to form a consolidation. It would be neither honor nor profit to the Farm Journal to form such a union, and especially under the present manage- ment of the Republican That paper has been a dead weight on the re- publican party and a curse to legiti- «mate journalism in Butler for a e@amber of years, and the records @how that it never paid a dollar's tax. Tt has always managed to change hands just before tax collecting time. The commercial congress that met at Louisville last week was treated to some interisting estimates on the cost of ironmaking in the Southern tates which, if correct, would ap- pear to indicate that region as the ‘future home of this very important industry. John R.. Proctor, state geologist of Kentucky, stated that at @ place on Green river, where ore containing 54 per cent. of iron, coal and limestone lie in close juxtapo- sition, pig iron can be made at acost of $9 50 per ton, and the cost of getting it to Louisville or Evansville by water would not be more than $1 aton. In Edmonson county, in the game state, it can be made for $10 a ton. At Birmingham, Ala, the ainimam cost is $9 37 per ton. The doweet cost of making pig iron in Middle Pennsylvania is stated at $16.60 per ton; at Harrison $16 10, and in the Lower Susquehanna region @17. Hore is a difference of $6 to $7 a ton in favor of Kentucky and Alabama. It will be difficult, of Qourse, to break up the iron-making habit in Pennsylvania and Ohio, wheroe it isso tirmly entrenched—and, perhaps, it will never be broken up Ghere; but it is certain that the sup- plies of iron for the South and West awat, at no distant day, be made in Kentucky, Tonnessee, Alabama and Southeast Missouri. The difference @ the cost price of iron in the South and in the North is equal to the tariff 5) on imported iron—so that even af the tariff were removed, pig iron eould still be made at a profit in Mabame.—Mo. Republican. | BUTLER’S BURIED TREASULE- From R. F. Canterbury, who has ed from a week's business just return : we learn that stay in Kansas City, the real estate men and capitalists of that city are greatly interested in the coal find at Butler, and a large number expressed a determination to come, investigate for themselves, and if there is no mistake about the reported 34 feet of coal. they invest largely in Butler property- Mr. C. said that his business carried him to a majority of real estate | offices in the city, and, with very few | exceptions, they all enquired about the finding of coal at Butler, and all seemed particularly interested. There is no doubt in the world of the thickness of the vein of coal passed through, if experienced drill ers, who have made this matter a special study, can tell anything about what they pass through—and expert drillers the world over claim they can tell to an inch the thickness of the mineral through which the drill passes. As to the fact that coal was found, needs no expert to pass judg ment on, as no one who ever saw coal could be mistaken in the drill- ings brought to the top, that it was coal, and of a most excellent quality. However, we do not believe the people of Butler will stop here, con- tent with the slight glimpse of the buried treasure underlying our soil, but will make a practical demon- stration to the world that our coal is all that is claimed for it by sinkinga shaft. We understand it is the in- tention of the gentlemen composing the syndicate owning the land ad joining the tract where the drilling is being done, to sink a shaft on their land at once. We sincerely hope this is true, and that a cube the thickness of the vein found be put on exhibition at the Kansas City Exposition as soon as possible. Mr. Canterbury said that strangers inquiring about Bates county in variably asked about the coal and stone deposits, and expressed an opinion that she should makea better display of her minerals, as the fer tility of the soil and excellence of the climate for farming and stock growing was generally spoken of and conceded on all sides. We understand that a very fine specimen of coal has been prepared at Rich Hill to be placed on exhi- bition. Now the operators of the Walnut, Mulberry and Hudson coal fields should do likewise and show the world what rich coal fields old Bates actually possesses, and that it is not confined to any one particular locality. Local Option Defeated: Harrisonville, Mo., Oct. 5.—Har- risonville voted on local option yes- terday, the vote being 193 to 67 against local option. A good many of the temperance men refused to vote. Hamilton, Mo., Oct. 4.—An elec- tion on local option was held in this (Caldwell) county yesterday. Ham- ilton township gave 150 for local op- tion and 224 against. It is believed that it is defeated, as half the coun- try is heard from, which gives 210 against. Keytesville, Mo., Oct. 4.—Partial returns indicate the defeat of local option in Chariton county yesterday by a majority that will be satisfacto- ry to the “antis.” About three- fourths of a full vote was polled. The Reception at Milwankee. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 7.—From the court house reviewing stand the procession resumed its march, yes- terday, to Schlitz park, where the handshaking feature of the program hind the presidential carriage all the way up the park trudged a grizzJed old Irishman holding aloft a banner inscribed with the words, “President and Constitution.” He had walked to Milwaukee all the way from Nee- nah, Wis., with his flag for this pur- pose. He gave his name as John Sexton. A newspaper is like a pretty wom- an in many respects. To be perfect it must be an embodiment of many types; its form is made up; it is ai- ways chased; it enjoys a good press, he more rapid the better; it has a »eakness for gossip; it talks a great «al; it cam stand praise, and is aw- tui proud of a new dress. will | DANIEL MANNING DYING. The Ex-Secretary of the Treaser Helpless and Hopeless. New York, Oct. 6.—Dan Manning’* life is drawing to a close. The bril | liant ex-secretary of the treasury is | near his end. | The report that he is it] | sent out from here, is both i | true. He is ill, but as for * | it is the same illness that caused h retirement from the cabinet. | He has steadily grown worse. That | he is now confined to his bed shows | that he is rapidly sinking. Upon his return from Europe it was widely heralded that he was greatly improved, that he had almost recovered. The facts were that the trip told upon him severely and that upon his return he wes almost corm- pletely helpless. He couldn't nove a finger. He attends to no business. He | pays no attention to the events of the world. He is L- ‘Be quietly and patiently awaiting the final summons which will come soon. is For Supreme Court Judge. Judge James B. Gantt, of Clinton, will be a candidate for Judge af the Supreme court. Judge Gantt was bora in Putnam county, Ga., Octo ber 29, 1845; at the age of 16 le en- tered the Confederate service in the 12th Georgia regiment, and served through the war under Major Gen- eral Stonewall Jackson; wounded in the battles of Gettysburg and cf the Wilderness; disabled at the battle of Cedar Creek; began the study of law at Macon, Ga. in 1868; came to Missouri in 1868 and Jocated ai St. Louis in the practice of law; moved to Clinton in 1876; lived in Sadalia eighteen months; purtuer of Senator Vest and Col. Philips; moved back to Clinten in 1880; was elected judge of the twenty-second judicial circuit. He was not a candidate for re elec- tion and became a candidate for Congress; was defeated for the nom- ination by Mr. Stone.—Nevada Dem- crat. The above coming from a strong Ston. organ should be very flatter. ing to the Judge, and we have no doubt Mr. Stone and his friends would like to see him out of the way, but as he has not spoken officially in the matter we would advise his friends to wait awhile before looking around for Congressional timber. Minister Manning Very Il. New York, Oct. 7.—The Hon. Thomas C. Manning, minister to Mexico, is lying at the Fifth avenue hotel, suffering from intestinal ob- struction, and unless his condition soon takes a favorable turn his ill- ness must be attended by fatal re- sults. At alate hour this evening Dr. Polk. the physician in attend- ance, reported his condition as crit- ical, the patient being in a high fe- ver and so restless that the thermom- eter could not be kept long enough in his mouth to accurately register his temperature.
