BUTLER MISSOURI. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1889 The Springfield Leader and the Lamar Democrat had as well possess their souls in peace. George G. Vest will be his own successor. The Gazette is tied to no man’s coat tail, but it knows very well what the people of Missouri want, and they are in no humor for pulling down their Vest. Fallin gentlemen and go hand in hand with the booming majority.—Sedalia Gazette. Gen. Boyton, the republican cor- respondent of the Commercial Ga zette, writes his paper that the rush for office is unparalleled; that the third month of Harrison’s adminis tration is fast closing, and that ques- tions of public policy haye been set aside to give place to the disposi- tion of patronage. It will be remem- bered that Grover Cleveland, upon his inauguration, proceeded to busi- ness, and never, during his four years’ term, neglected his duties. He did not convert the white house into a meeting place for spoilsmen, but let the scramblers for officescramble on the outside and attended strictly to the public business. Chicago, June 8.—Leonard Swett, @ distinguished lawyer, politician and orator, died suddenly of heart disease at his residence on Ashland avenue this afternoon. Though he has been ailing for some time he has been attending to his business up to within a week, and his death was entirely unexpected. He wasjan intimate friend of Abraham Lincoln. He delivered the oration at the unveiling of the statue of Lincoln on October 22, 1887, and made the speech nominating Judge Gresham for the presidency at the last nation- alrepublican convention. Mr. Swett was an orator of great power, a clear thinker and a great pleader and will be remember as a most charitable aud affable man. The absorption of the vast estate of the late A. T. Stewart by Judge Hilton accenuates the folly of sub- ordinating every purpose in life to the acquisition of wealth. The enor- mous fortune of the dead merchant prince has gone finally to enrich a man who had upon him no claims of kinship, and who sustained to him in life merely a business relation. The money which might have been employed in the diffusion of benevo- lence, blessing the giver no less than the receivers, will now insure to the benefit of a single individual, who has no conception of the employment of wealth for other than purely self- ish purposes. The expenses entailed ‘by litigation over the Stewart estate ‘have so far amounted to over half a mil§on dollars, a sum in itself suffi- Cient for the establishment of some useful public benevolence.—K. C. Star. It is stated that the stockholders of the M., K. & T. R. R. have made a demand on Jay Gould for the sur- ender of the Paola-Holden branch and that Judge Brewer has the mat- * ter under advisement now. Should this be true and Jay Gould lose this branch, it will deprive him of the only outlet he has for the east at present, outside of Kansas City. This explains the stir on the east end of the St. L. &E.road. It seems to us that the loss of the Holden branch will necessitate the extension of tne St. L. & E. to a connection with the main line of the Mo. P., independent of the M., K. &T. Such a &tep would make the St. L. & E. the mai. line to the east. It is well un- stood that the C. & A. railroad is 1 trying to enter Kansas territory and that she has obtained control of the 8 & Pacific, which runs from Coffeville to Paola. The Holden branch and a short link from Hol- den to Odessa would complete the Connection with the C. & A. system. } rays in the line indicated is urn up at most any time.— BUTLER WEEKLY TIMES THE DEAR BOUNCED. The board of Curators of the t i | A prominent Missouri Pacific of- ficial has the following to say to aj state university, met at Columbia ; Kansas City Times reporter in re- ,last Saturday. Among the first acts | of the board was to declare the po- ‘sition of Dean of the Agricultural college vacant. Prof. Sanborn has obstinately refused to resign, though he well knew that his retention in that position was a great injury to the college, as the legislature re- fused to make any appropriation for this college as long as he was at its head. Prof. Sanborn may be an ex- cellent teacher, well suited to the po- sition on account of his vast theoret- ical knowledge of farming, and he may have been wrongfully persecut- ed by enemies. Granting all this, still his refusal to resign when the good of the university, in fact its very existence demanded it, he dis- played a degree of personal selfish- ness that alone would disqualify him from holding so important a po- sition. By his obstinacy in this mat- ter, Dean Sanborn has forfeited all claims of sympathy and nearly, if not quite the respect of every patron and well wisher of the state univer- sity, no matter how unjust the charges against him at the start. Every citizen of the state who has the good of the university at heart will heartily commend the action of the board of curators in summarily bouncing the stubborn professor. EDITORS AT THE “GEM” CITY. A large number of representa- tive editors of the state were pres- ent at the convention of the Missouri Press Association, held at Nevada last Tuesday and Wednesday. Pres- ident Walter Williams, of the Boon- ville Advertiser, presided with grace and dignity, and kept the conven- tion in a good humor by his perti- nent remarks and bright repartee. The exercises throughout were very entertaining and instructive to the members, and suggestions were made which would be of great bene- fit to every publisher of a county paper in the state if carried out. The citizens of this hospitable city outdid themselves in their ef- forts to entertain their guests The freedom of the city was extended them in fact as in word, as every vehicle, including busses, cabs and street cars, had been engaged to carry the visitors free to any por- tion of the city his fancy might lead him. The artesian well, nature's wonder, beautified and adorned round about by man’s ingenuity and enterprise, with its bubbling foun- tain of clear, crisp liquid falling in crystal showers and in turn carried into a beautiful artificial lake, on whose placid bosom floated hand- some gondolas, bearing the enchant- ed editor and his fair companion, while delightful strains of music came to him across the waters, charming his senses and making him believe that he had been sud- denly transported into an enchanted country where pleasure alone held her court supreme. To tell all this hospitable people did for their visit- ors, such as the speed test by Ne- vada’s fire department, the excur- sion to the asylum building, the banquet and ball, would require col- umns of space, suffice it to say that every editor left the beautiful “Gem” city with feelings of gratitude and good will towards her chivalrous sons and beautiful and accomplished daughters. It has become almost proverbial that Nevada never does things by halves and in this instance she has fully sustained her high reputation in that respect. Harrison’s democratic relatives are giving the North Carolina repub- licans no little trouble. The whole republican family down in the “Tar Heel” state, carpet baggers, niggers and natives, are in a general fuss ov- er the “spoils” and the relatives are taking a hand in the fight. Ten to one the relatives get in their work. They always do, and no administra- tion ever made it easier for its rela- tives than the present one. President Harrison and his cabi- net have contributed $2,200 to the Johnstown sufferers, so says the telegraph dispatches. This sum looks very insignificant for the gen- tlemen when we take into considera- tion the large sums of money they gave to the campaign fund. fe (Coenen cone gard to the extension from Ft. Scott to Foster and the extension east | ¥ from Butler: “This is not, however, the only move made by the little railroad wizard on the railroad checker board. When the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road passes under the control of Mr. Gould and his asso- ciates, the Ft. Scott, Wichita & Western railroad which is owned by the Missouri Pacific peuple and it has it’s eastern terminus at Ft. Scott, was placed hors du combat, having no eastern connection with this city. This will soon be remedied. A sur- vey has been made and work will begin on a tap line between Ft. Scott and Walnut in Bates county, Missouri, on the line of the Empo- ria division of the Missouri Pacific which taps the Lexington & South- ern division at Butler. The proposed line will be twenty-five miles long, of which seven miles are graded. From Walnut to Butler is eighteen miles. The tap will make an air line road from Ft. Scott to Butler, from which trains will come into Kansas City over the Lexington and South- ern branch. Thus Gould will have solved another problem. it is also rumored that he will ex- tend the Emporia road east of But- ler to a connection with the main line of the Mo. Pacific either at Se- dalia or Jefferson City. The Min- den branch of the Missouri Pacific, which runs from Nevada Mo., to Chetopa, will also be extended to a connection with the Arkansas valley division, still further shortening the route between this city and Fort Smith.” ; A Kansas Preacher's Startling Views. Pittsburg, June 10.—The Rev. James Madden, a prohibition ora- tor from Kansas, while addressing aW.C. T. U. meeting yesterday, remaried that those who had notheed- ed the warning to escape and were drowred at Johnstown had gone to hell. People in the congregation held a meeting outside and talked of mobbing the preacher, but cooler heads persuaded them to take no violent measures. The Rev. Mr. Madden said afterward that he meant that only the Johnstown sa- loon keepers had gone to hell. The writer gleaned a valuable bit of information last fall from an ex- perienced housewife in regard to the care of dried fruit. If put away perfectly dry and tied tightly in pa- per sacks the packages need not be opened until spring and the fruit will be perfectly free from worms. The paper sacks in which flour, meal or rice are bought are very suitable for this purpose.—Rural World. There is great boasting that America can feed the world, and yet in our great centers of population thousands go hungry and ragged from year to year. The truth is, that if there was a reasonably fair distribution of values so that all might secure even a full supply of the necessities of life there would not be anything left to export to foreign countries, and it is doubtful if we would have enough to go round. Coy Roswell P. Flower. “Are you a candidate for the pres- idency?” Mr. Flower fell back in his chair and alternately smiled and sent up blue wreaths of smoke from his ci- gar. Then he said he did not cara to talk politics. “Would you accept the nomina- tion if it were tendered you?” “Iam discharged as cured from polities. I do not seek the presiden- cy.” “Do you think it advisable for the democratic party to stick to its po- sition on the tariff?” “The people certainly demand a reduction. The republican majority will probably make a reduction. If they are wise they will do it; if they do not they will be defeated in 1892.”—Portland Oregonian.

So far as know: no one witnessed the shooting, but it was supposed to have occurred about 10 o’elock. At that hour another engineer on the same ground heard a shot fired. When the engineer who came to relieve Channell at midnight reached the engine house he found the latter lying dead. He had been shot from behind while sitting on a wooden bench outside the engine house. The ball entered the base of the brain and came out over the left temple. The dead man’s gold watch had been taken and his pockets rifled, indicating that the murder was for robbery. He had but a few cents on his person. The coroner's inquest developed no facts to give a clue to the murder. Channel! was a young man of steady habits and highly re- spected. Were his murderer found it would most likely be followed by a lynching. Under the new ballot law in cities of Missoun, no ward boss can inter- fere with the franchise of any citizen. The ballots will all be alike and will be printed by the state, feur for each voter. The voter must receive his ballot from the hands of the clerk and go ulone into a booth to pre- pare his ticket. Every ballot must be accounted for. If a voter acci- dentally destroys one he must re- turn it to the judges who will pre- serve it and turn it over to the county clerk. The system is the best that has yet been devised. The Kansas City pecple are com- ing to the front nobly in the way of donations for the sufferers at Johns- town. Kansas City always comes to the front in times of need. New York’s Big Flood Fand. New York, June 7.—The fund for the Johnstown sufferers was as fol- lows at the close of the count this afternoon: Paid through Mayor Grant to Treasurer Simmons to-day, $91,155.37; total paid by mayor to treasurer, $241,212.10; received Treasurer Simmons from other sources $51,118; total receipts by the treasurer, $292,380.10. Con- tributions of $1,000 each were re- ceived from the London and Brazil- ian Bank of London ?and the Na- tional Bank of New York, $500 from Lord & Taylor and smaller subscrip- tions swelled the Chamber of Com- merce fund to-day to $52,166. The Produce exchange fund foots up $11,600, the Maritime exchange, $12,143; the Coffee exchange, $4,- 550; the Cotton exchange, $7,531, and Mutual exchange, $1,350.
