The body of Watts was shipped to his home at St. Joseph and buried with great honors by the brotherhood. The bucket brigade got in their work at the fire Sunday morning and by hard work saved the Arlington hotel. A good man nominated for mar- shal by the democracy of this town will win.

The Tues office has had an excep- tional run of job work the past two weeks and now has on hand 130,500 impressions for our power and job presses. The Tras office is the on- ly job office in this city that would undertake so large an amount of work at one time, and in fact, is the only office in town that could do the work, and do it neatly and satisfac- torily.

Paddock Butcher Shop go up im the Flames. The Arlington Hotel Brdly Damaged by Fire and Water. The fire Sunday morning which destroyed the buildings occupied by Geo. Todd and L. S. Paddock on the northeast corner of the public square, removes from view one of the old land marks of Butler. The fire broke out about half past five or six o'clock in the morning, in the middle room of Paddock’s butch- er shop, and it being Sunday morn- ing and but few stirring on the streets, was unnoticed until it had secured a firm hold on the old frame structure, and all efforts to save eith- er of the two buildings with the means at hand proved unavailing, and a strong effort to save the con- tents of the buildings was made. The fire had gained such headway in the butcher shop that men could not euter the building and therefore, turned their attention to the saloon fixtures. of the contents of the saloon were saved. The building occupied by Todd, was erected by Capt. Hannah, in the year 1866, and was considered in that day among the best buildings in the and was used by Capt. Han- nah fora general merchandise estab- About two years ago this building was remoddied inside and out and a new brick front built to it. Upon this building Capt.

Mr. Paddock also had insurance on stock of $300, and on tools and fix. tures $100. He estimates his loss The Arlington hotel, which joined the burned buildings, was saved by the bucket brigade after a hard and determined fight, but was badly dam- aged by fire and water, and the loss to Dr. Lansdown will not fall short of $4,000. The doctor held insur- ance to the amount of $7,000 on the building, but had nothing on furni- ture which was considerably dam- The fire could not have happened ata more opportune time, as the roofs of the adjoining buildings were covered witha heavy sleet which was a great protection from the fly- While all good citizens sympathize with those who lost by the fire it is admitted that the benefits to the city are great, as the parties who own the valuablelots will not let them lay idle long, and newand handsome brick structures will be erected in American | —_or— | ‘WHITE GOODS. we are showing a full and complete line| of white goods of all| descriptions such as plain, check and stripe nainsook, satin plaids and _ stripes, and an elegant varie- ty of new Marselles paterns in welt fig- ures and stripes.

Taylor, of the Cass county court, publishes a card in the Pleasant Hill Local in which he says the bonded indebtedness of his county at the present time amounts to $778,551. This is the straight debt onthe county at the present time and does not include bonds not yet compromised which are drawing 10 per cent interest, and the cost of litigation and attorney fees, which is at the least very large. Cass county is certainly a bond-cursed county, and just how the people are to rid themselves of this enormous illegal debt is yet to be solved. jJ- K.

Sheriff Glazebrook left Sunday for Jefferson City, having in charge Harvey Benson, the young man who plead guilty last week, to being an accomplice of John Medley, in the burglary of a jewelry store at Pleas- anton, Kansas, some two or three months ago. Benson was about17 years of age and goes up for two years. Medley, his accomplice, will stand trial, and for aught we know, may escape justice, but letting the criminal court records speak for him he had just as well marched up and plead guilty also,as he has been doing his best to break into the pen for the past two or three years and itis only a question of time when he will land thera, Your attention is called to T.
