ALLEN Eprrtor. Jj. D. Azven & Co., Proprietors, TERMS OF SUPSCRIPTION: Kansas City Times. Mr. Ingalls is a fierce, uncompromising republican and his prophesies of the president, while they have been literally verified are nevertheless in the nature of a surprise considering the source from whence it eminates. It is good reading and we commend it to the prayerful consideration of all good republicans: Washington, D. C. March 25 '85. Dean Sm:—I was glad to receive yours of the 19th. Weare still wait- ing on the president who moves with great deliberation, listens to every- body and does as he pleases. His principal nominations so far have sur- prised democrats as much as re- publicans, but they are generally strong men whose selection will be approved by the conservative forces ofthe country. Hehasnoimagination or sentiment and his policy will not be sensational or startling but if he keeps on as he has begun his admin- isiration will grow in popular favor. He is self-possessed and confident, and exhibits no perturbation for timidity. Good humor prevails, though there is much inaudible grumbling among democrats at the delay in “turning the rascals out.” But if Cleveland can stand theracket for the néxt twelve months, he will bring his party to its knees and be- come astrong leader. He has a great opportunity and evidently in- tends to improve it. Truly, J.J. Incarts. TheWeexsty Times, published every wv gall be sent to any sdaress @me vear, paid, for $1.2¢. BUTLER MISSOURI. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 1, 1883, Ce There will be six eclipses this year —three of the sun, two of the moon, and one of the republican party. ‘The last will be a total eclipse. — Walker Herald. eee Sudge Noah M. Given, of St. Louis formerly a citizen of Harrisonville, and for two terms circuit judge of Cass and Johnson counties, seems to be the leading candidate for land eommissioner. He is backed at Washington by the entire Missouri delegation. ‘Hon. John M. Glover, congress- aman from St. Louis and one of the <best and most promising young democrats in the state, is fast coming to the front as a gubernatorial candi. date. Mr. Glover is one of the shin- -@ing lights in this state, and if the young democrats are to be rewarded im the -coming canvass then Mr. Glover's chances are surely good. The national democratic commit €ec will meet in Washington Februa- «zy 22 to fix a time and place for hold- ing the national democratic conven- &on. Delegates will be present to urge the claims of a large number of cities which desire to have the couvention, among them New York, Boston, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chi- ago, and San Francisco. The simultaneous passage of the two bills in the Senate paying the widows of General Logan and Gen- eral Blair $2,000 year each in the way of pension is an illustration of the common practice of log-rolling in congress. It is readily admitted that Logan and Blair were gallant soldiers and the nation owes their Memory proper respect and their widows any bounty which may be necessary to their comfort. But the widow of General Blair had not been complaining of the pension she was already receiving, as far as known, and there has been nothing to indicate that the widow of Gener- al Logan would suffer unless she were granted an extraordinary pen- sion. Certain it is the widow of are- publican general would not have re- ceived a special bounty ifa widow of a democratic general had not been treated with equal magnanimi- ty. This kind of trading seems more than ordinarily obnoxious when it extends to the affairs of our dead patriots.—K. C. Star. “It is now pretty well understood,” says the Kansas City Journal, “that the Sabine Pass road is backed by the St. Louis &San Francisco. This latter road is now surveying a line from Monet to this city, and it is understood also has money on hand to build there. The St. Louis & San Francisco is owned by Seligman of New York, and it is intimated that some of the men connected with the Sabine Pass line are his particular friends. The St. Louis & San Fran cisco now has a mileage of about 1,342 miles, and will prove a valus- ble acquisition to Kansas City.”— Springfield Express. Governor Marmaduke was the fourth governor of Missouri to-die in office. Frederick Bates, the sec ond governor who served under the state died in 1825, after having served one year. Governor Thomas Reynolds committed suicide shortly before the expiration of his term in office in 1844, and his successor, by the way, was M. M. Marmaduke, the father of the late governor. Govern- or Hamilton Gamble died in 1834 near the close of his term, and Gov. John S. Marmaduke had held his office three years. Col. Albert O. Allen is mentioned as @ Democratic candidate for railroad commissioner. Col. Allen isa fino -taan and would make a good com- Co}, Allen is one of the rising young democrats of the state, and as this year seems to belong to the young demoracy we fully agree with 4he Journal that Col.

One by one democratic candidates for the office of judge of the supreme court of Missouri are “bobbing up serenely.” The latest named is that of Judge D. A.

In presenting Judge DeArmond as our choice for the supreme beneh of Missouri, we present him who is every inch a man; him whose intel- lect is one of the peculiar brilliants in Missouri's galaxy; whose qualifi- cations are undeniable and ability unquestioned.

Toronto Knights Leave the Order. Toronto, Ont., Jan. 27.—The de- cline in the Knights of Labor as to numbers goes steadily on here, all the assemblies showing decreases, some to a very large extent. One assembly had 600 members a year ago, and now has only sixty. Five months ago there were in this city fully 4,000 Knights of Labor, but it is doubted if there are 1,000 now. internal dissensions and dissatisfac- tion with the management of the or- der are alleged as the cause of this remarkable decrease. The Trenton Times is authority for the statement that the local op- tion case, lately decided by the su- preme court of the United States. A reporter of the Trs made a thorough search for the attorney in the case, and finally found E. M. Harber, one of the attorneys, from whom he succeeded in getting the facts. Mr. Harber said, “yes, we have made up our mind to appeal the case.” The attorneys are rely- ing upon the point made by Judge Sherwood, that the law is a violation of the fourteenth amendment ofthe federal constitution.—S pring field Herald. A Bates County Man Condemned to Death. Decatur, Ill., Jan. 28.—In the cir- cuit court to-day the jury in the case of Wm. E. Westbrook, charged with the murder of Joseph Gross, a sa- loon keeper at Blue Mound, this county, last July, brought in a ver- dict of guilty, and fixed the death punishment. The verdict was a general surprise, not because the accused was not believed to be guil- ty, but because there has never been an execution in this county, and peo- ple were of the belief that no jury would break over the precedent. Westbrook is a young man, 22 years old, and lives at Stonington. He threatened to expose Gross for sell- ing liquor to a minor, unless paid $25. He wrote Gross a letter to this effect, and meeting him a few days later hot wordsensued. West- brook attacked Gross with a large pocket knife and inflicted several wounds in his abdomen which proved fatal. The jury was out buta few moments, agreeing on the first bal- lot as to the guilt of the accused, and on the second ballot as to the punishment. Westbrook received the verdict very coolly and never moved a muscle ofhisface. Hemust have been fearfully surprised, how- ever, as he expected to pet off with ten years. A motion for a new trial will be argued before Judge Smith on Tuesday next.—St. Louis Repub- lican. Westbrook, up to about one year ago, lived in Deepwater township, this county, with W. H. Igo, with whom he is in some way related. The town was full of tramps Sun- day and Monday. City officers do your duty and keep them morirg. THE FLAG INCIDENT A BOOM- ERANG. Many Rebel Trophies Returned by Secretary Stanton. Other Republican War Officials in the Same Boat. Washington, D. C., Jan. 29.—The war department's reply to the Bou. telle battle flag resolution is about completed and will probably be for- warded to the house in the early part | 2° of the week. It is stated by an officer who has had an opportunity of learning the facts, that the answer will show the resolution to have de veloped into something of a boomer- ang. It will prove that if any law has been violated by the return of captured trophies some of the re- publican secretaries of war were guilty, for the lists completed and which will form part of the depart- ment’s reply show that many more flags were delivered by Seeretary Stanton and some of his successors than under the present regime. Judge James B. Gantt. We understand that this gentle- man is vow in the field asa candidate for Judge of the Kansas City Court of Appeals. We most heartily wish he would get the nomination. There is no man in the state we would rath- er support for this office than Judge Gantt. He is eminently qualified for the position. A ripe scholar, a jurist without a superior, anda high-toned, moral, christian gentleman in every sense of the word, who could never be swayed from what he conceives to be right, he is just the kind of a man we need on the bench. The party will honor itself when it honors such a man as Judge Gantt.—Cass Co. Democrat. Speaking of Judge Parkinson's candidancy for the K.C. Court of Appeals the Greenfield Advocate says: “There is no Judge who ever graced the bench of the 25th judicial circuit, or any other of the judicial circuits of Missouri with more hon- esty of purpose, more zeal to un- qualified justice or more unclouded preception of the requisites of mercy; nor retired from the high place of honor with a more immaculate re- cord. While Judge Parkinson held this position and at the time of his elec- tion, and while Dade has the honor of having named him as the first Democratic Circuit Judge for South. west Missouri following the rebellion, we can conceive of no reason why she might not now have the honor of putting her shoulder side by side with Bates county and‘exalting him to the wool-sack of the Appelate court. Colonel McColloch Out. Jefferson City, Mo. Jan. 24.— Colonel Robert. McColloch, state register of deeds, publicly announc- ed himself a candidate for re-election, subject to the democratic state con- vention. He has received many flat- tering letters from representative democrats in various parts of the state, urging him to make the race and pledging their support. At the democratic state convention in 1884 he was nominated by acclamation. A Poor Young Teacher. Omaha, Neb., Jan. 26.—Miss Ettie Shattuck, the young school teacher who was so severely frozen in Holt county during the late blizzard, had both her legs amputated at Seward to day and will live. On the night of the storm she took refuge in a haystack but was unable to prevent her limbs from freezing. After stay- ing in the stack seventy eight hours she was discovered by a farmer more dead than alive and rescued. Mr. Carlisle Leaves ona Trip. Washington, D. C., Jan. 17.—The | in improvement in Speaker Carlisle’s health still continues. This morn- ing he and Mrs. Carlisle and the speaker's neice. Miss Queen, left this city for Baltimore, where they took & revenue cutter for Fortress Monroe. j They will probably be gone ten days or two weeks. ; | | ' i ‘ PROFITABLE POULTRY. Hew a Yankee Farmer Derived a Goed Income From His Heas. Any hen that lays much less than 100 eggs ina year is kept at a loss, asa ben will consume about $1.00 worth of food, besides the time used in feeding and caring for her. We shall not approach the question from the side of the “fanciers,” the breeders who aim to get $2, $3, or $5 for a setting of eggs, and $5 to $25 for acock or pair. These gentlemen have a host of poultry papers advocating their interests, and need no help from us. It is our purpose to consider the tion from the everyday farmer's standpoint, and we shall show that a net profit of $2.50 per hen per year can be made in the ordinary way of mar keting eggs at the store or at the door. We know it can be done, because we have done it and are doing it. Ali that is necessary is to induce the hens to lay in the fall and winter, when eggs bring a high price; in other words, get the pullets to lay when they are five or six months old, and keep them laying. The writer bought s dozen year old hens of the Plymouth Rock breed, but doubtful pedigree, and ten pullets of most undoubted pedigree (as mixed a lot as one most ever sees on any farm), and his flock to-day is composed of their descendants, got by adding a good cock of brown Leghorn blood one year, a Plymouth Rock cock the next, and so on alternately. It will be con- ceded that we have no fancy birds. There isn't a pure blooded fowl in the flock. The Plymouth blood prepon- derates; the brown Leghorn blood shows itself in many of the pullets, and **sports"’ of various sorts and sizes are common. Below we give some statistics of the egg product of these hens in the past three years: 1885 «1836-1887 Average No. eggs per hen..... 175 | 176 164 Average net profit per hen....@2 76 @2 92 $2 83 It should be explained that the decreased average of eggs in 1887 was caused by the failure of the stone masons to build a foundation wall for a new building, and eighty or ninety fine pullets were running wild in the field till December 15. If they had been housed October 1 we would have had probably fifty or sixty dozen more eggs in November and December when eggs were 38 cents a dozen. All our eggs have been sold at the door, that is, the grocer came for them. The price at which they have been sold ranges from 15 to 16 cents a dozen in April and May to 38 or 40 cents a dozen in November and December; the average price for the three years being between 25 and 26 cents adozen. This high average price for the three years is due to the goodly number of eggs produced in the fall and winter when they are scarce and high. It is truo that pullets that lay vigorously all winter won't increase their product so much in the spring as birds that have rested through the winter, but the average for the year is the test of profft.—Cor. N. E. Farmer. 2 — CRIES OF NEW YORK. Street Scenes in the Past Days ef the American Metropolis. Iremember hearing the “Cries of New York,"’ in 1820 and the succeed- ing years. The watchmen at every corner ¢f the sev-ral ‘-blocks” struck the pavement with their clubs, and sang aloud ths hour, thus: ~“E’even o'clock, and all’s well!'’ or “Four o'clock, and a clouly (or fair) morn- fxg,’’ etc. Not only baked psars were “cried’’ and sold in the streets, but Loiling-hot green cora. The venders were usually negroo; (slaves at that time). and they used portable fur- nances lighted with charcoal, on which they prepared their stoek in trade Sometimes they contrived to carry (with the furnace) one kettle on one arm containing the pears, and one on the other containing the corn. People who sat on the “s‘oops’’ in the summer evenings were their custom- ers. Serenades were then quite com- mon, and the musicians would be in- vited in, and treated to wine and cake and hot baked pears. Buttermilk was carried about in churns, the seller erying out in a most lugubrious drawl- ing sing-song ‘White wine, white wine."’ It was often purchased to use for bleaching fine linen, such as baby caps; for all the babies in those davs wore pretty embroidered linen cambrio eaps, commonly lined with lustring silk; it was finally decreed to be un- healthy. The ‘songs’ to advise cooks that oysters, clams and fresh fish were for sale were various. B-sides the one of which your inqnirer gives the opening line, I remember part of another, which ran thus: Here's clams, fine clams, from Amboy Bay; Won't = buy some fine fresh clams to- day?
