BUTLER MISSOURI WEDNESDAY, NOV.2, 1387 Jay Gou'd has sailed for Ew ope to spend the winter. There are eight or ten candidates in the field for governor of this state. Francis, Dockery and Norton seem to be in the lead so far. scieniaianieainnaeeme Jasper county has just voted for the building of a new court house. The Carthage people did all they could to secure it, but alas they did not. Tho majority in the county was 1870, but it requires a two-thirds majority, hence Jasper county, like Flenry, must do without a court house until the people change their minds. It is stated that wok ou the Coic- rado road will be commenced at Ft. Scott at once and pushed this way as fast as possible. There two surveys of this road through this county, one of which passes through this city and the other through the cast part of the county and on to Clinton. As to which survey the company will build on is not stated. are We had the pleasure of the com- pany of Congressman Stone aud Judge Parkinson, of Butler, from Clinton to Osceola, last Friday. The last named gentleman is the coming Lieut. Gov. of our state.—Creighton Free Press. Tru’y one has to go away from home to get thenews. Wehad look- ed upon Judge Parkiuson as a possi- ble ca .didate for judge of the court of appeals. + Kor sns City. ————————— The Fo.e scott Vauy Tribune re- ports an interview with Major Peck, & contractor on the Si. Louis, K. C. & Colorado, who is now at work this sid sof Ft. Scotton thatline. He says ‘the committee to condemn right-of way in that vicinity will meet in Ft. Scott on the 7th of November. He eays the understanding is the road from Chanute, Ft. Scott and to 8t. Louis, will be a double track, to accommodate the immense Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico business. — There are but four states in the Union that have a greater population than Missouri. They are in order named: New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. Missouri at the last census had 176,972 more than twice as many inhabitants as Kansas, and to-day is assessed at nearly five times as much. How many people have stopped to think of that, even in Missouri? Missouri always gets there in fine shape, but this year she surprised all her sisters in wheat Growing. The latest figures show 4n average yield per acre of twenty and one-half bushels, while the other atates vary between the maximum yield of fifteen bushels in Kansas to the minimum of ten in Kentucky. A man who has been a close ob- server of the weathor for many years, ventures this prediction in the Atchi- son Champion: “The character of equinoctial storms indicates the character of the seasons following. This year the equinoctial pertur- bations occurred later than usual, hence the winter will be late setti in. These storms being warm and wet, indicates an open winter. In Other words, the winter will set in $wo or threé-weeks later than usual, and will be characterized by frequent ~ Warm rains. Of course there will be some cold weather, but this winter will be less rigorous than the last.” Austin, 'f'ex., Oct. 28.—J.

A gr-at outrage has been perpe- trated by old rebel soldiers at Ma- con, Ga., the toich of treason has been lighted aud the loya: men of | ‘the noith stand aghast.

What if Jett Davis be old and teebie, broken 1 health and suffering from old wounds gained in the defense of the Umon srom a foreign enemy. Was he not the President of the southern con federacy and might he noc yet raise a mighty army aud come prancing upon us aid devour the whole “ca- boodle.” Should not this poor, o.d, broken down man, who left the u.- ion when he had honors heaped up- on him, turned his back upon al! the dazzling splendors that wealth and political honors could give aud cast his lot among the people he loved, his own people, now be shunned aud hated by those he loved and fought for and with.

To be loyal to the north you must hate the south with all her sacred memories. Do you believe that? And yet it is what the radical bloody shirt means. We would suggest that Jeff Davis be banished to a St. Helena and there surrounded by a strong G. A. R. guard, kept in close confinement the balance of his days. Economy. FIERCE THREATS. Holland Wretches Seek to Coerce the President. Washington, D. C., Oct. 29.—The | following letter was received at the | Winte house yesterday, address« d to} | President Cleveland: T - the President of the United States: | il general of the social democratic federation of Holland, feeling indignant at the infamous jadgment of the Hlinois supreme court in the case of the Chicago an- a:chists, holds that the throwing of a bomb in the meeting held May 4, 1586, wus provoked by the out- rageous assault of the police upon the people's 1ight of free speech. Furthermore, as the thrower of the bomb is not known, the charging of the seven anarchists with the guilt of this act is essentially arbitrary and the outgiowth of class hatred. Therefore, the social democratic federation of Holland, in the name of humanity, liberty and justice, protest against the sentence of death passed upon the Chicago anarchists, and despising the ruling class for waking themselves a party to this murder, shall hold the president of the United States personally respon- sible if the lives ure taken.

The train sped on at the rate of thirty miles an hour and the body of the young lady was not cold when it arrived at Xenia. The young lady's father was at the station to meet her and when told of his loss was so paralyzed with grief that he had to be assisted into the station.
