The democracy of Bates county as a unit, in asking a place onthe State ticket for our distinguished fellow citizen, Judge D. A. DeArmond, are BUTLER WEEKLY TIMES J. D. ALLEN Eprror. J.D. Auten & Co., Proprietors, alone by a just pride to see a fellow county man promoted, but recogniz- ing his great abilities, pre eminent qualifications and fitness for this high office, claim for him the posi- tion which his high talents deserve. Recognizing that a county or sec- tion in a great state like this is only entitled to its share,Bates county will ask for but one place on the State ticket at the hands of the democra- cy. vention at St. Louis, and presiden- tial electors we will cheerfully ac- cord to other districts and counties. We have interviewed a number of prominent men whose names were mentioned in this connection and their ideas coincide with this view. While we have a number of promi- nent men in Bates county who would grace this position of honor, still we do not believe there is a single aspirant for such a position or one who would accept it under the cir- cumstances.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1888, Southwest Missouri Immigration. To all Bates County delegates to Clinton Convention. Gentlemen:—The Southwestern Mo., Immigration Society having been duly organized and all counties in- cluded in the territory embraced therein, are requested to take steps to complete their county organiza- tion. I therefore beg leave to call your attention to the urgent necessi- ty of taking such action at an early date as may be necessary to a thor- ough organization of this county, and would suggest that you meet at the Court House in Butler on Satur- day March 10, at 3 o'clock p. m. for that purpose. Respectfully, F. J. Tygard, Member of Society. Senator Ingalls in his article on the elements of success in political life says: “The continuous strain of the Presidential office is such that the physical condition of the candidate must hereafter become one of the controlling considerations of party managers. A weak, fragile, delicate- ly organized man could not survive the stress, confinement, importunity and incarceration of the executive office for a single presidential term. He would inevitably break under the pressure and pass from the White House to an asylum, or to the tomb.” It is noticeable that President Cleveland has grown stronger phys- ically since he entered the White House, and hence he is particularly fitted for a second term. Senator Vest in closing his speech seconding the claims of St. Louis for the National Convention said: “T thank God that we are in battle array and ready for what is to come. Our leader has and will have in his hand a banner not drooping uncer- tainly and moodily, but afloating wide, fair and defiant with the prin- ciples of the party emblazoned upon iG.” s The Howard County Advertiser, in commenting upon the interview of Gen. Shelby, in the Kansas City Times, has the following to say of our fellow townsman, W. E. Walton: “As to the General's call for Mr. Walton for Treasurer, we can say that the State can nct place a safer, more competent man in the position to care for the public monies than W. E. Walton, of Bates county. He is one of the shrewdest business men, best financiers of our acqaint- ance. Personally, heis genial, court- @ous and plain, and is business from the word go. Ifthe Treasurership should chance to fall to the South- west a better man could not be found than W. E. Walton. ——$_$——— “What is being done by your citi- zens to secure the Kansas City & Rich Hill railroad?” is a question al- most daily asked by parties visiting Butler. Our answer is that we can- not tell, that a special committee was appointed for that purpose and We presume are in correspondence with the officials of the road, and are working to that end. So far no progress has been reported. The citizens of Butler now have confi- dence in this project and recognize that it would be a very foolhardy and suicidal act to fight it away from our city, and we are looking to our committee to take the necessary steps to secure it. We have no dis- position to dictate to the gentlemen composing this committee, but urge upon them the necessity for prompt action, and remind them that the citizens of Butler are entrusting the matter entirely in their hands. —_—_— “The Butler Tres last week is- sued a magnificent paper, giving a complete history of Bates county, Butler and Rich Hill. Cuts of all the principal buildings, residences, etc., of Butlerand Rich Hill were contain- ed therein. Bro. Allen is getting to the front.”—Howard Co. Advertiser. The enterprising real estate firm of J. K. Brugler & Son, managers of the Bates County Loan & Land Co., is entitled to all the credit for the Bates County Index, the paper be- ing printed in the Tes office. So well pleased was Mr. Brugler with our efforts in this direction that he has increased his order to such an extent that our cylinder power press will be kept running constantly for the next week orten days. This firm is doing more to advertise Butler and Bates county than any other firmin the county and we would be glad to see others emulate their example. Other real estate firms are making preparations to advertise extensively this spring, so weare informed, men- tion of which will be made by the Tres at the proper time. Since Butler has got its eyes opened in regard to the actual stat- us of the Kansas City & Rich Hill road, and come to the scratch with an offer to do the handsome thing by the company, although at the eleventh hour the probabilities are that the necessary change in the route will be made, and the county seat made a point on the line. So far as the people of Rich Hill are concerned, they are pleased at the turn of things in prospect and really prefer that Butler should secure the road. The change of route from the “cut off’ to one by way of But- ler would delay the work but little, if any at all, and the road could be made a great convenience to the people of that place and Rich Hill. It would seem heartless indeed to spurn the advances of the county seat, after it has returned like the prodigal son, and fallen on the neck of the company and wept.—R. H. Review. We urge upon our people not to let the good work for immigration, inaugurated at Clinton, fall through for want of a proper effort. The time is opportune to attract the attention of the world to Southwest Missouri, and Bates county should stand ready to do her part in this grand work. Let us organize a home immigration society here in Butler; let us become enthused in the work and not let the enthusiasm die ont. Then with a proper organ- ization at home, we can be prepared to meet all demands upon us by the district society. With a very little energy and light expense great good can be accomplished in this direction and Butler and Bates county reap a vast advantage. The time is ripe for such an effort, and asa step in this direction has already been made let us press forward in the good work. We call attention te a call made by our county committeeman, Capt. Tygard, to the delegates to the Clinton convention to meet in Butler on next Saturday, and we urge them all to be present. afflicted with cancer of the throat, is his physicians.

KANSAS CITY & RICH HILL. Work Progresses on this Line, Mr. B. F. Parks in the City. Among the arrivals in the city last evening was the hustling representa- tive and western agent of the Mt, Vernon Bridge Company, of Mt Ver- non, Ohio; Mr. B. F. Parks, of Ce- dar Rapids, Iowa. The company represented by Mr. Parks has been awarded the contract for building the bridges on the line of the K. C. & R. H. road, and he was here for the purpose of submitting plans and specifications of the required struc- tures for the approval of Mr. Oli- phant the company’s engineer. These plans and specifications call for the latest and most approved style of iron bridges for the larger streams, and the contract stipulates that the | bridge work entire betwern East Lynn and Rich Hill shall be com- pleted by July Ist of the present year.—Rich Hill Review. | a ee | Mr. Conkling’s last letter declining the use of his name as a republican candidate for the presidency still re- cognizes the party as fallen from its former high estate, but the tone of the letter is less bitter than he is wont to be. He even had the grace to refer to the “party with so many tried and distinguished men,” and he expressed the hope that the “organization might be reinstated whom wisdom and earnestness prov- ed so useful during the trying and tragic period of thenation’s history.” It looks as if Mr. Conkling would again enter the republican fold if the party would go out and “fall on his neck and kill the fatted calf.— K.

HAVOC OF WINDS. | Newton, Kan., Visited by a Tornado. Newton, Kan., March 2.—A tor- nado struck this city yesterday after- noon at 5 o'clock, coming from the} northwest, blowing down several | houses, tearing down fences and up- rooting trees. A heavy rain accom- panied it, immediately followed by a heavy shower of the hail. The high wind lasted but a few seconds, | but when it had subsided it was found that several buildings had | been blown down and the roof of} many houses taken away. | Just before 5 o'clock a dense, smoky cloud was seen approaching | from the west. Almost at the same instant an intensely cold wave from the north met it and there issued forth a dark cloud and moved rapidly in the direction of the southwestern. part of the city. The first building struck was the Newton buggy fac- tory. The roof of the main part of the building was stripped off and hurled 100 feet east. One timber struck William Lacey, an employe, who was running home, on the head, killing him instantly. The cloud next struck Walt’s addition to the city, demolishing and scatiering in all directions six dwelling houses and a number of barns. Miss Anna | Hobble, one of the houses, was struck by a flying tim-} ber and will probably die. Mrs. Mary Smith, an inmate of the same house, had her shoulder blade dislo- | cated and was otherwise injured, but not seriously. A number of horses and cows were kiffed, walks and trees many blocks. who was in while fences, were strewn for The loss to property in Walts’ addition will be fully $3,- 000. Other parts of the city suffer- ed, the cupola of the high school be- ing blown down, while chimneys on many residences were carried away. Just after the cyclone came a terrific hail storm which was followed by rain that fell in torrents. Had the storm cloud struck the city but a few blocks further north the loss of life and destruction of property would have been frightful, as it was, only the southwest corner was in- jured. The emigration from Ireland to the United States during the coming spring promises to eclipse that of former years. Already a large num- ber of emigrants have secured pas- sage onthe various trans-Atlantic lines, and to meet the exigencies of the busy season two new Atlantic companies have announced their in- tention of sending a fleet of steam- ers to call at Queenstown from Liv- erpool to embark passengers for American on and after the 20th of the present month, when no less than ten trans-Atlantic steamships will sail each week from Queenstown for the United States. The emigra- tion from other countries in Europe also promises to show a considera- ble increase, and the present year will witness the occupation of a large area of American soil by set- tlers from the old world. Boston, March 2.—The Commer- cial Bulletin will commence to-mor- row the formatio: of a stock com- pany in this city which expects to control the entire um crop of the country through the use of a new patent process. The company claims to be able to produce sugar from sorghum cheaper than cane | sugars even if the latter should be | admitted free of duty. In addition to the sugar works at Ft. Scott. | Kan., the company, during the com- | ing season, will erect three new | factories, one of them at Topeka. | The location of the other two has! not yet been selected. “I understand,” remarked Cashier | F. M. Alien, of the Farmers’ bank, | recently: “That Morland & Eph-' land made the assertion the other day, that they would be willing to lease a brick store room well located, for a period of two years’ time.

McCONNELL, Manager, | FACTS ABOUT BIRDS, } Some Which Announce the Coming of Rain and the Approach of Storms, Quite a number of birds announce the coming of rain; for instance the | magpie, the owl, the yellow thrush and the green finch. This is also done by means of peculiar notes which they never sound on other occasions. Nic- olardot has ayed to reproduce these | notes by letters. Th nlso storm birds, so called proce which in a similar manner—that is to say, by the use of certain peculiar sounds—pre- dict the coming of a storm even along time in advance. Birds thus can feel [ and announce the coming of rain and ! storm, and the ancients aseribed to} them the faculty of prediction. In their flight and in their voices indiea- tion of coming events were sought. The augurs of old had established a | e science of the flight and the vorable or unfavorable omens, which- ever might happen to best suit the plans of the priests at the time. Louis Napoleon in our nineteenth century intended to convince the French peo- ple, by the aid of a trained eagle, which was to have alighted on his head at the right moment, that he was the predestined successor of his great uncle. Nicolardot does not go quite so far as the augurs of the ancients, but he also ascribes to birds a pre- science of coming events, especially of approaching misfortune, to which feel- ing they lend expression by certain peculiar sounds. As an example he recites a tale from O'Meara’s “Voice from St. Helena’? When the French entered Moscow, this author relates, a great flock of ravens came and settled on the towers of the Kremlin. From there these bird:, to which the an- cients ascribed great sagacity, came flying down close to the heads of the soldiers, flapping their wings, and kept up a continuous croaking. The troops were much disheartened by the occurrence, and feared misfurtune. Shortly before the terrible conflagra- tion broke out all the ravens had dis- appeared, flying away in great num- bers. —Chicago Interior. —_—~+0 oe —Arare bird was exhibited in Read- ing, Pa. the other day—a monkey- faced owl, totally different from any of the forty or more different varieties found in Pennsylvania It was captured on afarm near the city.
