The manager of the drill turning to their western home. thinks a rock has been jarred loose from above and dropped down upon the drill which is causing the trouble. It is hoped that matters will be righted in a few days and work again started. The Rev. W. B. McFarland, the newly appointed pastor for the M. E. Church, (south) preached his in- itiatory sermons to his congregation in this city Sunday. He is a man of matured age and long service in the cause, and if his sermons Sunday are a fair sample he is the right man in the right place and not only the members of his church are to be congratulated, but the entire city, on securing his services. We predict that he will not only prove a bless- ing tothe church here, but an in- strument in the hands of the Master in saving many souls. He is a good man, a good preacher, and should have the support and confidence of the church. A week or so ago the stump tail Journal, half of which is printed in this city, made the assertion that Frank Lafollett, one of the best and truest democrats in this county had leftthe party of his choice and joined the labor-greenback-republican move- ment. Now we have it from Frank himeeif that this is a gross misrep- resentation. He is the same superb democrat that he has always been and it will take something better than that which the Journal repre- sents to break him away from the old party that he has supported and so faithfully served for these many years. Frank is moulded out of the right kind of material and is not chaff to be blown hither and thither by the wind. Our exchanges say there is a reg- ular organized band of thieves, thugs and pickpockets following Dorris & Colvin’s circus, and as this show will exhibit in our city to-mor- row we warn our people and the po- lice to be onthe lookout. In Sedalia a number of robberies took place an‘ two of the thieves were arrested and jailed. In Booneville the editor of one of the papers was sand-bagged, robbed and even stripped of his clothing. We cite these instances to put our people on their guard, and make the policemen vigilant. Of course the circus people are in no wise responsible for the actions of these desperadoes and would gladly assist the law officers in the protection of their patrons. to the fullest extent. We are creditably informed that the syndicate that owns the tract of land north of town, will immediate- ly sink a shaft and prepare to devel- op the coal that isnow known to underlie our town and section of county adjacent. Butler is on the eve of a boom that is based ona solid foundation, not of rock, but of coal. Enterprise and energy exert- ed in the right channel will always win, and little did these gentlemen who organized -the well company think that they were setting in mo- tion a little wave that would bring a s2 oF, ~—~— ~wePe Kspecially we want to call your attention We extend a cordial invitation to Bros.

Within the past few weeks the Palace hotel, in this city, has under- gone some necessary and important changes, most noticeable of which is an artistic job of painting, the finish- ing touches of which are just being put on the outside of the building. The Palace now presents a handsome appearance, and we can say, without fear of contradiction, that the brush of the artist has been applied in a tasty manner, the like of whichis not to be found in Butler, or for that, in any other town in the ctate. To in- sure that the painting is not only artistically done but is a first class job, we have only to say that the work was done by Bridgeford & Drummond, two of the best and most honest painters in the state.

MAX WEINER Sole agent for the famous Selz and Giesecke Hand-Made Boots and Shoes. The latest discovery is a seven- inch vein of shoe-blacking on the farm of Daniel Stockton, south of McCune. It is found four feet from the surface, and when wet and rubbed on shoes or boots makes a splendid polish. The find is a curi- osity.

New Canned Goods. W. G. Womack, our popular North Main street grocer, has the largest and most choice lot of Canned Goods in the city, consisting of all the lead- ing brands of California Fruits. These goods were bought before the late rise in canned goods, and he is therefore giving his customers the advantage of former low prices. In addition, his grocery stock embraces everything kept in that line, fresh and clean. He wants your produce, chickens, etc., and will pay the high- est market price.

We glean from our exchanges the fact that two smooth talking scoun- drels are going the rounds of the state victimizing the farmers. One claims to be gathering crop statis- tics, while the other one has a re- monstrance against high taxation. The object is to secure the signa- ture of the farmers to papers which afterwards turn up at the banks as promissory notes. We warn our readers to be on the lookout for them, and give them a warm recep- tion, or hand them over to the au- thorities.—Versailes Statesman. Farmers look out for the man who is around representing himself as the agent of a Kansas City and St. | From present appearances it is not the bond holders alone that are after the taxpayers of St. Clair coun- ty, the sheriff is also taking a hand. What is sauce for the goose ought to be for the gander, and the anti-taxpayers should hold a meet- ing and boycott the sheriff or the whole county will go to the highest bidder. Miss Alice Powell, daughter of Jacob Powell, of Lone Oak township, died at her father’s residence last Wednesday evening, of typhoid fever. The remains were interred on Thurs- day, Rev. A. Walker conducting the funeral services. Atthetime of Miss Powell's death, two more of the children, a young lady and a young man, were lying sick with the same disease. Our esteemed friend and old and faithful subscriber, Frank Voris, dropped in Saturday and made our cash box jingle with the dollar of our dads. He attended the G. A. R. reunion in St. Louis and reports a pleasant time; also took in the fair Louis paper house and wants to buy all your straw in the stack, draws up a contract in which you agree to sell, and he pays you $10 to bind the bargain and you give him a re- ceipt for the money. There is the rub; that receipt will soon turn up asa promissory note. These slick gentlemen are now working western Missouri and eastern Kansas.
