WEDNESDAY, FEB. 22, 1888, Immigration Paper. This week we present our readers, in the form of a supplement, a hand- somely iHustrated immigration paper of Bates county, prepared and issued by our enterprising and wide-awake real estate firm, J. K. Brugler & Son, of Butler. This paper was prepared at the cost of much hard labor and at considerable expense, and will give parties in the East who are de- sirous of seeking homes in the West, a better idea of the improvements and enterprise of our county than volumes of pure reading. We make a special request that each of our subscribers will send this paper to some friend or acquaintance in the East who may be desirous of chang- his location, thereby assisting in the good work of advertising our county. In writing his letter to Mr. Jones, chairman of the republican committee . declining to be a candidate for the presidency, Mr. Blaine made just one mistake, he should have post scripped “burn this letter.” The letter did not have the designed effect, and the republican party will take him at his word and not present his name. Friday joard of Railroad Commissioners, of the state, Messrs. Harding, Breathett and Downing, were at Rich Hill for the purpose of gathering the necessary information toward adjusting complaints made by parties against the Gulf railroad, for not affording adequate facilities for shipping coal. eee Judge John F. Philips will be a candidate for re-election to the po- sition of Judge of the Kansas City court of appeals, which office he now holds. Judge Phillips is one of the ablest lawyers in the state, pure and honest, and if merit, learning and integrity is to be recognized as lead- ing qualities for so important an office certainly Judge Phillips will be nominated iby acclamation and elected unanimously. He is the man for the place. Hon. B. G. Boone, Attorney Gen- eral of the state; spent Thursday and Friday in tne city and during his so- journ called on the Tres. General Boone, ranks with the best lawyers in the state, and isa clever sociable gentleman, and has made the state amost efficient officer. Quite a number of very important cases has come under his administration among which is the noted Maxwell murder case, and all have been handled to the entire satisfaction of the people whom he represents. The General, with a clear conscience that he has done his duty well, ask a “renomination as an endorsement. Dade County for DeArmond. © St. Louis Republican of the 17th. Will R. Bowles, editor of the Dade * County Advocate, Greenfield. Mo., | arrived at the Laclede yesterday, and “was rounded up on the political ‘situation in that section. He said: “We have taken no steps nor discuss- ed any probable candidate, but are patiently waiting for our brethren, the Republican, to make the first step, for you see the Democratic party constitutes but a very small portion of the inhabited sections of the county. Hon. D. A. DeArmond will be unanimously supported for Judge of the Supreme Court. Our people are not in favor of your Judge Barclay for that position, as they think he is and will be support- ed by Mayor Francis and the St. Louis clique. Mr Ball is well thought of for Lieutenant-governor, and Alex. Lesueur, editor of the Lexington Intelligencer, will, we understand, be acandidate for Secretary of State. If he does, Mike McGrath ‘will have a strong opponent, and { think he will be eventually convinced that he does not hold a mortgage on that office.” SEE TO THE CUT OFF. There is now but little doubt that the “cut off” is a reality andis going to be built. It needs no argument to conviuce every resident and prop- erty owner in Butler, that it would do the town an irreparable injury to have a railroad miss us only a few miles and cut off our trade from the best portion of our county. The question now being asked on all sides is how to prevent it. Such a query is easily answered in a practic- alway. The company building this road has asked of our people the right of way from Butler north to the county line anda bonus of one thousand dollars per mile. This would probably amount to $15,000 or $16,000. This amount was sub- scribed to the Harris project, on conditions that the road be built and in operation by the Ist of July, 1888. This project has fallen through with, for the road could not be completed in time to secure these notes, hence we do not have to pay the money and are not out anything; now why not every signer agree to transfer his note to this company. Quite a number, that we have spo- ken to, readily agree to this propo- sition and say they will give that mueh more if it is necessary to se- cure this road and prevent its run- ning around us. We do not know that this company will now enter- tain a proposition of this kind com- ing from us, but if they are willing to again enter into negotiations with us our citizens should not hesitate for one moment to comply with any reasonable demands they may make upon us. Butler is on the eve of one of the most substantial booms she has ever had and we can not af- ford to have our bright prospects knocked into smithereens by an un- wise policy at this time. A Tives reporter took occassion, while ia Kansas City Thursday to call on James A. Blair, vice president of the Baily road running from Harri- sonville to Deepwater, in Henry county, to get what infomation he could in regard to the Wilson road, at present surveying around Butler. Mr. Blair was of the decided opinion that the road would be built, and further, from what he could learn that Butler would surely miss it un- less the differences existing between the citizens and the officers of the company were amicably adjudicated. That in his opinion Butler could well afford to pay much more than was asked of her, than have the road run a fewmilesaway. A town was sure to receive more favors from a short road, that would have to work up business, than a trunk line. He had no personal Knowledge of Mr. Wilson’s means to build this road, but had reasons to believe that he could raise the money and that now Mr. Wilson is in England ne- gotiating for iron. That the con- tract for grading has been let to responsible parties. Mr Blair said that neither he nor his father is connected with the enterprise only so fargas to make hauling arrange- ments from East Lynn to Kansas City. This is, in substance, the informa- tion we gained from this source. From other sources we learn that most of the distance between the ojective points has been sub-con- tracted and that as soon as the weather will permit grading will be begun all along the line. Will the citizens of Butler remain quiet and let the road run around her? For their own good and the good of the town we sincerely trust no sueh calamity may befall us. Judge John F. Phillips of Kansas City, Judge John D. Parkinson of Bates county, J. W. Boyd of St. Joseph and Maj. O. E. Brown of | Carthage are four of the candidates jin the “free-for all” race for the Kansas City court of appeals judge- ship. The press of Southwestern |part of the state is giving Judge Parkinson a hearty support, and | Boyd has a strong following in Kan- | sas City with which to attempt to | Overcome a strong opposition in the ‘rural sections of the district.—St. Louis Republican. 2561.
