The job of brick laying being done on the Steele and Everingham build- ings, on the southwest corner of the square, by Ross & Rogers (home workmen) is one of the best jobs done in the city.

Levi Molar, ex-representative of this county, but now in the commis- sion business at Kansas City, was shaking hands with his many friends in this city Monday. He appears to be enjoying the best of health. The happiest man in Butler at the present time, is pap T. Hiter Crock- ett, over the arrival of that staunch democratic boy, who arrived at his house wednesday morning last. He will go by the name of Francis Buckner Crockett. Some twenty-five or thirty couples in vehicles from this city, attended the camp meeting near Mulberry Sunday. A small ravine or branch on the opposite side of the Miami, which they crossed in the morning dry shod, swam their horses coming home in the evening. It is said the cloud valves were thrown open and the rain came down in torrents, equal to a water spout almost. Some of our humerous republican friends in Butler to offset the tidal wave of prominent republicans im- migrating to the democratic party this year, have started the report that Charlie Morgan has left the party and will vote for Harrison and Morton. Those huge jokers ought to give us something more reasona- ble, there is no democrat in this town even foolish enough to nibble at the bait. The school board met Friday night. The chief thing which oc- cupied the attention of the board was the contracting for heat- ing apparatus. Several bids were opened but we understand the board did not take any definite action in the matter on account of over reaching the money appropriated for that purpose. They were much pleased with one propo- sition made and think they will be able to get the company to yet fall within their means. In the mean time they are waiting to get propo- sals from other companies. The apparatus now in the building was ordered taken out. The Trves is in hopes the board will meet with no more obstacles. Mrs. Walker, who has been spend- ing the summer with her son, W. A. Walker, returned home Tuesday of last week. She was accompanied as far as Memphis, Tennessee, by Mr. Walker, who returned Thursday, making the round trip in the short space of about thirty-six hours. He informed us that his home county, Haywood. Tennessee, for the past itwenty years has given a republican majority of 1,700, on Aug. 2, chang- ed front and gave a democratic ma- | jority of 2,000. The negro popula- | tion largely predominate in this coun- | ty, but their white allies and office | holders had become so corrupt that } general revolt was made. Cleveland and Thurman Club Meeting. \ HE LEAPED FROM THE TRAIN. There will be a meeting of the} Club at} A Joint Keeper Makes a Desperate Attempt to Escape. Perry Gregory, the keeper of a liquor joint at Butler, Mo., without a license of any kind. was arrested by United States Deputy Marshal Wil lis, and brought to this city yester- day. Gregory will be tried before United States Commissioner Wyne this atternoon on a charge of selling liquor without a license. Atashort distance from Kansas City, while the train was running at a rate of twenty miles an hour, Gregory made a desperate attempt to escape, which came very near being successful. He ran to the platform and leaped from the car. Marshal Willis pulled the bell cord and the train stopped. He then started out across the fields and after a chase of half a mile recaptured his prisoner. Gregory was locked up in the county jail. He says that a number of prominent citizens of Bates county are running the joint and that he is merely the bartender. Marshal Willis says that as many as twenty-five empty beer cases have been shipped out of Butler from the joint ina single day.—Kansas City Times.

A Big Club. Capt. William Young, of the Grand River Township, Cleveland and Thur- man club, while in the city Saturday gave the Tres a social call.
