Tiwes:—Here is an opportu- | nity to retrieve the fortunes of But- ler. An institution of learning with Oxz Huxprep Tuovsasp Dotuars en- dowwment is seeking alocation. This secures it permanently in its location. Not only so but it will be the means of coutributing at least fifty or sixty thousand dollars per aunum to the business of the town which secures at. If you wish to give your child a collegiate course at a first class in- stitution it will cost from $500 to $1,000 per year to educate him away from home. Query 1. How much of the eost of # four year’s course can you af- ford to give te have the institution at your own door and your child under your own supervisiou? Query 2. How many, who desire to give their children a complete education, but are financially unable to send them away, could educate them if the college was here? Can not such afford to give, what, for them, would be considered extreme- ly liberal? Butler has on other occasions pledged large sums of money for en- terprises which would have taken the money and spent it elsewhere. But the town that secures the luca- tion of this college will have every dollar contributed by it expended in its own midst. Now have we the courage to in- vest some money in our oWn town that will tlow back to our own pock ets through the channels of trade, with interest? Shall we put our hands together to open channels where money and business will flow to our town? Can we not afford to strain our purses open a little wider than ever before to secure something that will bea lasting good and sure to bring pros- perity to Butler. Quiz. Spruce Happenings Spruce township went dry on the local option questiou but wet on the weather question, and the wet weath- er is accompanied by some real old fashioned mud. Ballard has a drug store in pros- pect. Mr. Ed. Owen, of Altona, contemplates locating here. We shouldn’t think a drug store would pay in the country since local option has been adopted. Judge Ballard sold about 6,900 bushels of corn to John L. Hickman. Mr. H. will feed the corn in Mr. Ballard’s feed lot. Mr. Sam Priee lost a fine steer last Thursday. He and Mr. Geo.

M. Starke shipped some hogs and cattle a couple of weeks ago. Dr. Hooper has had a revelation, we dou’t know where from, that we will have araiuroad through Spruce township by the lst of Juiy. Our tax collector, T. N. Board, complains that taxes are coming in rather slowsy. Remember that tax- paying is oue of the things that can’t be avoided. R. J. Starke is making prepara tions t» farm quite extensively next summer. Hes just “tearing” things on the old Poage farm. Jim Board went to K. C. last week with a load of turkeys. He says he heard the great evangelist, Sam Joves. The young people had quite a pleasant time at the residence of John Board last Tuesday.

The meetings have been conducted by the pustor, Rev. Ashley, Rev. Baker assisting this week. A good deal of interest is being manifested. Our Northern Methodist friends who raised such a hullabaloo over the President,s gift to the Pope could have been in much better business. It was no rec- oguition of the Pope’s temporal power, and the good old gentleman may learn a great deal of valuub'e information about our government by reading the constitution sent.— Booueviile Advocate. Childre.s Boiled Ative. Eastman, Ga. Feb. 4.—Hubbard Harrell, a colored boy 10 years old» was made drunk near here yester- day, and going home to his brother- inlaw, James Pope, killed th.ece children. Filling a kettle used for washing hogs with boiling water, Harrell commenced his work by inducing one of the children to entirely un- dress, after which he suddenly trip- ped the littie fellow up and landed him in the kettle, where he was boiled alive. The next child resisted, but Har- rell felled her to the ground with an iron bar, and while she was still in- sensibie, threw her into the caldion ; with the boiling corpse of her brother. The remaining child was the youngest of the trio, and picking it up bythe avkles, Harrell was beating its head aguiust a tree, when ut- tracted by its cries the parents ap- peared aud the young fiend fled. The little one’s skull was so bad.y fractured, however, that death 1e- sulted last night. At last accounts young Harreil was still at large. Public 8 le.

I will show you « thoroughly effective sample of ventriloquism which any one can test for themselves. “Remember,” he said, ‘this art is a trickery about it, We will suppose you are not naturally a ventriloquist. Very well. then. Here is s capital lit- tle meth! whereby a good effect can be produced, Are you ready?” He then took from the table an ordi- nary tumbler, suying: ‘*See, there is | no deception,” and placed it on the cloth again. Standing about a couple of feet from the table he commenced : “Hallo? how are you getting on down there? Eh! what say? Can't you hear me—speak a little louder?” And coming nearer and nearer to the tumbler. he continued speaking until his mouth was close to the edge of the glass, when som body seemed to answer down in the cetlar and in quite a differ- ent voice: “Oh, I’m pretty well; how are you?’ { tested the simple plan and found it remarkably exsy to accomplish. The whole effect is produced by speaking into the glass ; the voice is compressed into a small space, and it is perhaps the most practical illustration of what ventrilojuism really is. This idea can be easily developed by the making of » small table—such as conjurors use—with a hole in the center to receive the gl.iss, a secret sliding lid to hide the opening, and with a fringe of cloth to prevent the tumbler being seen, the apparatus is complete.— Lone don Tid- Bits. . _—_——s «oe - —The abbreviations of California and Colorado, ~Cal.”” and *Col.”” look so much alike in ordinary handwriting, and letters have so often gone wrong in consequence, that Californians are begining to abbreviate the name of their State thus: ‘-Calif."” ———+ + —Getting up with the son is a com- mon practice wh-re there is a teething boy buby in the family. —Ezchunge. —The health of tue family: “Joseph, love, you told me you never drank be- fore we married.” “No, shweet; never did.
