Yes, in company with Col.

Capt.

Mr. Yantis, private secretary [of the governor, received us in the governor's office and offered his ser- vice for our entertainment, the gov- ernor being absent from the city. Mr. Yantis held this same position he now holds under Gov. Marma_ duke. We called at the Treasurer's office and found chief clerk Noland busy with his official duties, but he took time to shake us heartily by the hand. We visited the State Peniten- tiary and the officials of that institu- tion took a great deal of pains and trouble to show us through this state institution, Mr. Darwin Marma- duke is making the best Warden the state ever had. Adjutant General Jamison, seemed to take pleasure in showing us through the State Ar- mory, and endeavored in every way to make our call pleasant.

There were between twelve and fifteen additions to the Christian church Sunday as a result of the protracted meeting of the past week. The meetings will be continued through this week and probably longer. Peter Wilson, one of the promi- nent attorneys at the Butler bar, died very suddenly last Friday morn- ing, of colic.

The Tres is sorry to learn of the serious illness of L. G. Henry. He is afflicted with rheumatism which seems tohave taken entire possession of his body. His recovery is consid- ered very doubtful by his intimate friends. Bro. Irish has removed a great load from our shoulders in declaring that Rich Hill is satisfied to remain in Bates county, for we had waited with fear and trembling, their de- cision in this matter. We can hard- ly spare Adrian either, and we sin- cerely hope that Bro. Kirkpatrick will reconsider his hasty determination to move out and start a little king- dom of his own. However, Butley the capitol of the kingdom of Bates, pursues the even tenor of her way and is not very much disturbed by the ripple now agitating her suburb- an towns. C. B. Lewis who has been confined to his bed for some forty-three days with a severe attack of fever and rheumatism is now again able to be out on his crutches and we hope it will not be long until he can lay his crutches aside and be with us again. The irrepressible H. Martin Wil- liams we see will, in a short time, start a paper in Nevada. We also see he has induced the foreman of the Mail, (who certainly has not been in the United States long) to join his force, and our sympathies are with that unsuspecting youth who throws up a good and reliable job for chin music and fair promises. The first Valentine leap year party was given at the residence of J. P. Edwards on quality hill. At nine o’cloek the crowd began to gather when they were courteously recieved into their spacious parlors by Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, their accomplish- ed daughters and Miss Jennie Wright, for which great honor is due them on the reception of their guest. Mus- ic, singing and games were indulged in till a late hour, when something more inviting ended the evening’s pleasure, a sumptuous supper pre- pared by Mrs. Edwards.

There is little doubt of his being guilty as charged in the indictment and the verdict of the jury was a surprise to nearly every- one acquainted with the facts in the case. While we have no words of censure for this jury, believing they decided the case according as they understood the evidence and instruc- tions, still juries should be very care- ful how they turn criminals loose upon a community, on the slightest pretext or technicalities. for men, boys and children now in stock at Sam’] Levy & Co. the city hall Friday evening was well attended and great enthusiasm manifested.
