It is stated at Jefferson City that the house committee on roads and highways will introduce a bill requir- ing railroads to keep a watchman posted at every place where a public road crosses a railroad. This would be a great convenience to the public and would save many lives and much property each year. but theaddition- al [cost to the railroads would be enormous. Mr. Warner, of St. Louis county, ‘has introduced a bill in the Missou- wi legislature creating the office of commissioner of roads and bridges in counties having an assessed valu- ation of 12 million dollars or more. The bill applies to the counties of St. Louis, Jackson, Buchanan, Mari- enand Greene. The county survey- or of the county is ex-officio com- missioner of road and bridges. Mr. ‘Warner's bill separates the depart- ments and makes the salary of the commissioner not to exceed $1,500. : —_—_—_—oO_ Gov. Francis continues to grow in public favor.

This can be accom- plished by a joint stock company. There is not a business man in But- ler, who has a pride for the city’s prosperity, but will take stock in such an enterprise according to his means. We have not con- sulted the Bonham brothers as to their future intentions. It may be their purpose to immediate- ly rebuild. If so,they should and will meet with the hearty encouragement from our citizens such a commenda- ble enterprising spirit deserves. But if they do not feel able or in- clined to again invest that amount of money in that enterprise the citi zens should organize us we suggest and take immediate steps toward its When the opera house at Nevada burned a few years erection Moore ago, amecting of the citizens was called, and the house formed rebuilt. a stock company he Butler was same thing can be done in now. We should strike while the iron is hot. The Times publishes the expressions o fa few of our heavi- est tax-pay rs, all of whom are de- cidedly in favor of its being immedi- ately rebuilt by the citizens. What at first was a luxury has become aj necessity in Butler and we cannot do without a handsome opera house. Let a public meeting of our citizens be called for an early date for the purpose of taking steps to immedi- ately rebuild the Walton House. Opera The burning of the Opera block Saturday night is but additional evi- dezce of the utter helplessness of the people of Butler to protect their property from fire. It is said by some that we ought to organize a fire company. A fire company with- out water would be a useless and burdensome ornament. If Butle- had been blessed with a good sys- tem of water-works the fire Satur- day night could have been extin- guished and thirty-tive thausand dollars worth of property saved, the price of the water-works at one fire. Enough property has been destroy- ed during one year to build two or three sets of water-works. It is not altogether the fault of the citizens of Butler. The people were favora- ble to and would undoubtedly have voted the last proposition submitted, ifa question had not been raised as to the legality of putting in so ex- pensive a system. It might not track the letter of the law, but the people of Butler see the great need for water-works and if any responci- ble company would submit a reason- able proposition it would be voted and not a dollar of the tax so voted would be repudiated. Other towns throughout the southwest, with not near the assesed valuation of Butler have valuable systems of water- works. It strikes us we could make similar arrangements. At least an effort should be made in that direc- tion. Let our council investigate the systems in other towns, such as Clinton, Nevada, Carthage, etc., and find out how they managed to get their systems, costs of same and all other information they can gather which will be of benefitto us. But- ler is well abie to build a good sys- tem of water-works and for the pres- ervation of property as well as con- venience of her citizens she must have them. ———_—____.

It is the secret, too, of his laborious devotion to matters of routine. He express- ed himself very moderately on the latter point and shows no disposition whatever to explain his industry. “It may be because I am awkward at it,” he said, “that I have to work so hard.” It may be said that the practical outcome of this administration and its effect on the fortunes of the dem- ocratic party. He is very earnest in predicting a great future for the democracy and in asserting his un- qualified devotion io the party. “It is a grand party,” said he, “and was never in better shape than it is at present. When we consider the condition it was in before the tariff issue was formulated, the want of unanimity, the wide difference of views on many points, and the hearty united support it gave me during the campaign, who can doubi that its status has been improved and that it has a glorious future be- fore it.” The president is as firm now as he ever was in the opinion thai tariffre form is the great living issue for the democracy. He regards it as an is- sue in harmony with the spirit and traditions of the party and one in- volving enormous benefits to th: people. He believes that sooner or later the toiling masses will be thor- | oughly roused to an indignant pre- | ception of the burden unjustly im posed upon them by the tariff laws, | | and of the fact that the taxing pow- | er of the nation is being recklessly | used for the benefit ofa favored few. | He does not tolerate the idea that the democracy was beaten on the in adjourmag over to Monday.

The agonies of those who suffer from severe salt rheum are indescribable. The cleansing, healing, purifying influences of Hood’s Sarsa- parilla are unequalled by any other medicine. “I take pleasure in recommending Hood’s Sarsaparilla, for it has done wonders for me. I had salt rheum very severely, affecting me over nearly my entire body. Only those who have suffered from this disease in its worst form can imagine the extent of my affliction. Itried many medicines, but failed to receive benefit until I tock Hood's Sarsaparilla. Then the disease began to subside, the Agonizing Itch and Pain disappeared, and now I am entirely free from the disease.
