He was the general manager of the firm and lived in Butlerabout one year, and made many friends by his gentlemanly demeanor and his fair business dealings. From the Times we clip the following: “Mr. Threlkeld was one of the ear- ly res?dents of this city, his family moving here from Boone county in 1848, when he was only 10 years of age. They lived in a building which stood just back of the present jail and kept what was at that time the only hotel in the city. Mr. Threl- keld was for ten years superintend- ent of an express company running west of here, and in that capacity made fifteen trips across the plains with his wagon trains.” Mr. Columbus Orear arrived on the 20th inst. with his bride.

About 3 o'clock Christmas morn- ing the worst wreck which we have ever known on our road, occurred just south of Butler. Four cars broke loose from an incoming freight and started back down the track, gaining speed as they went. About half a mile below the depot they collided with another freight. The engineer saw the runaway cars in time to reverse his engine and he and his fireman jumped for their lives. The shock threw the engine from the track, telescoped several cars and ditched 24. The train men all eseaped by jumping, only one boy, about 14 years old, who was stealing a ride in a coal car, which was telescoped, was injured. He was dug out of the wreck and the the company’s physician, Dr. Boul- ware was soon on the ground and had the young man resting easy ina short time. NOT BUILT THAT WAY. The Democrat of last week in speaking of the various Christmas eve entertainments says at the FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH there was no entertainment at all but those who partook of the sup- per spread by the ladies of that church in the Opera building went away feeling it was good to have been there for the tables fairly groaned beneath the weight of the delicacies spread upon their snow- white cloths.” This is a mistake. The tables mentioned were furnished by Jewett & Hickman and their tables are not of that kind. If there was any groaning it must have been by the Demorat reporter and arose from an overloaded stomach. es will always be our aim and stand- j ard, and we introduce ourselyes | to the Bargain Hunters of Bates county with the following DEEP CcuT. on the entire Weil & Co. stock.
