All we ask is a little hold up during the wheat and oat harvest. Dr. Boulware presented his wife with handsome pheton one day F last week. Tho gift was a surprise and is highly appreciated. The thunder storm Sunday night shook the dwellings in the city until the window glass rattled in their panes, and the buildings trembled. We want to see the business men of this city redouble their diligence in securing the new railroad from Ft. Scott to Butler. The plumb is in teach, let us pull it. It seems to us the city is losing a great deal of time in regard to the water-works question. We ought not to wait for another disastrous fire to wake us up. R. R. Deacon and wite left for Coldwater, Mich., last week on re- # ceipt of a telegram announcing the @ terious illness offe relative. They “will be gone some weeks. Mrs. W. E. Walton, who has been in Chicago for the past month under treatment of Dr. Davis, is home again. She reports her health much improved. Geo. L. Smith, Misses Lillie Smith, Sadie Gardner, Mamie Ewing, Allie Cooper and Ella Meek, attend- ed the firemen’s tournament at Clin- ton last week. The boys are working hard on the Fourth of July celebration to be held in this place. They promise the grandest time ever had in But- ler. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather the farmers held their Tegular mass meeting in Butler Sat- urday afternoon, and for a few hours our merchants did a driving busi- ness. Dr. L. G. Hays of Dana, while in the city Monday pulled the latch ‘ string of the bsoming Trvrs. The doctor is and old and substantial Subscribe and an esteemed friend. Capt. F. J. Tygard and wife went o to St. Louis last week. The Cap- _tain’s principal business in the city was to attend the dedication of the Masonic Home, which took place Saturday. chases for his nevelty store. Mi. Vernon, Illinois, was almost destroyed by a cyclone, Tuesday last. Between twenty-fiye and thirty peo ple were killed and a large number injured. The calamities of 1889, will go down in history as the great- on record. Mrs. Travis Carter and Miss Kate Trumbo, of Seymour, Ind., grand- mother and sister of Mrs. G. D. Ar- nold of Summit township, arrived Wednesday evening and will spend a few weeks visiting at the residence of Mr. Arnold. This spring Butler is enjoying a regular building boom; and we are glad to see the mechanical work all being done by home labor. So you see, by managing in this way the profits made by the mechanics is kept in our city. Dr. T. C. Boulware, has been hon- ored with the appointment by the State Medical Assosigtion aaa dele- gate to the American Medical As- sociation whice meets at Newport, Rhode Island the letter part of next oo Frank Deerwester, living north- east of this city, carried off the highest honors at the Warrensburg Normal school last week. The di- plomas were presented to the grad- uates by Senator F. M. Cockrell. In all contests of late Bates county boys haye taken the cake. Circuit court is still in session and will probably grind on through next week. The cases called for trial so far have not been of special impor- tance except to those directly inter- ested, consequently the attendance in the court room of spectators has been unusually slim for the past week. In the case of Tina Ferrell vs. Jesse A. Trimble, judgment was rendered in the cireuit court Mon- day, by agreement, in favor of pltff in the sum of four thousand dollars. This is the breach of promise auit which Miss Ferrell brought against Mr. Trimble, the particulars of which were heretofore given ab the time. Miss Lyde Abell, who has been teaching the past year in the acade- my at Wichita, Kansas, returned home last week, on a vacation until September. She reports the crop prospect in Kansas as being very fine, especially wheat and oats. The enly fear fer the corn crop is the hot winds and drouth in July and August. The Record takes issue with the court in deciding the legahty of the local option election in this city. Had the difference of opinion arisen between the Court and the Record as to the quality of good and bad liquor, we emight be pursuaded to join with brother Aus. in overruling the decision, but as the decision is strictly a point of law we will have to stand aside for the present and let the two learned gentlemen set- tle the vexed and disputed question in their own way. The Tres regrets to learn that W. O. Jackson, ex-prosecuting at- torney of this county, has decided to leave Butler and open an office in Kansas City. He leaves to-morrow for Warrensburg, to try an import- ant damage suit, and from there he goes to the city to take up his pere manent residence. Since his resi- dence in this city by strict attention to business he has made many warm friends both in the town and county, who will be sorry to learn of his in tentions. Heis a strong partizan, and always took an active part for | the democracy in national, state and | county politics, and in his leaving |the county will also lose an able, | willing and powerful advocate. The | Tres wishes him abundant success | in his new field of labor, and cheer- fully recommends him to the bar of | Kansas City. ‘ Local Option Election Void.

If voting places can be changed in violation of the law, however slight it may appear, thereis no telling where it might end. Walter Williams the able and spicy editorial writer on the Boone- ville Advertiser, hes severed hiscon- nection with that paper to socept a more lucrative postitson in Jeflersen. City. Mr. Williams was president of the edatorial convention which met at Nevada a few deys ago, and made a most excellent presiding of- ficer, and he will be missed fromthe newspaper fraternity. Judge Gantt, of Clinton; Gates & Wallace, of Kansas City and Gen. Blair of Leavenworth, Kansas, ar- rived in the city yesterday morning. Gantt, Gates & Wallace represent Martha Baker, in her damage suit for $20,000 against the Kansas City, Ft. Seott and Memphis railroad company Gen. Blair appears for the company. Mrs. Baker was badly hurt by a switching train at Rich Hill We learn from the Holden Enter- prise, that two little beys, Drury Adams and Charlie Carpenter, were near the base ball grounds Wednes- day, while a game was in progress. Drury had a toy pistol which he was toying with when it went off,he didn’t know it was loaded. The ball struck Charlie Carpenter in the arm. The wound is not serious. Another warn- ing. John Medley, who was taken from this city to Nevada last Saturday, to answer tc the charge of . stealing a fish net, had his trial before Justice Leonard and was given a light sen- tence and sent to jail. Justice Len- ard was in the citySunday and in- formed the reporter that he gave John a light sentence in order to get rid of him soon as possible as they did not wish to board him. Medley is a bad boy and sooner or later he will make his way to the penitentary. J.D. Coleman and Sidney Alex- ander of East Boone township in- dicted by the grand jury for felonious assault, were arrested Monday even- ing and brought to townby Sheriff Glazebrook. From what we can learn Coleman and Alexander,an old man H. Enyart were on a little spree in Mr. Enyarts pasture, and for the purpose of having a little sport, they caught # young mule and pro- posed to tie Mr. Enyart to it and let it pull him to the house. Mr. Black Blackman happened to be passing and interferred, and it is said Cole- man and Alexander became angry the premises. Hence the indictment. Frank Wright's trial was continu- ed until the November term of court and he was taken back to the Clinton jail for safe-keeping by deputy sher- iff Shelby Saturday. It is a shame and disgrace that a great and pros- perous county like this put to the ex- pense of having to send her prison- ers to other counties for want of a jail athome. There is noexcuse for this and the peopleare squandering mon- ey in allowing the same to continue. Bates county is ableto own a jail and her citizens ought to lay aside all petty spite and see that one suf- ficient for all needs is built. The last grand jury informed you ihat we had no jail and the excuse that is now being used is not fit for habita- tion. Really the building is ready to tumble down and the sheriff is actually endangering the life of him- self and family in occupying it asa residence. For the good of Bates county and asa money saving in- vestment the people should not per- mit this public neccessity to longer remain as a blot on the enterprise of her citizens. Don't Credit Him. The public is hereby warndd not to credit my son Charles on my account as I will not be responsible for any debts he may contract. D. J.

Therefore we can only add, that if you want a book that will be an ornament to your library and worth ten times its subscription price send your order at once, as there will only be a limited number printed. At Kirksville, Mo., Friday morn- ing, Joseph Propst shot and killed bes brother Frank, and then killed himself. They were sons of Robert Propst, a wealthy farmer and stock man living in the northeast part of the county. About a week ago the father placed in the hands of Frank all his business affairs. This act seemed to either derange Joseph or terribly angered him, and going to where Frank was repairing the door of an outhouse pulled his pistol and fired on him, then turned the weap- on on himself with the above result. Both young men were married and stood high in the neighborhood. Mr. McKinney, Flecher Mann and wife, and Luther Mann, whe have been in the city for the past two or three weeks attending circuit court, left for their respective homes the fore part of last week. Luther Mann’s case for felonious assault with intent to kill John Hensley, is set for hear- ing on the 26th inst. Now that he has took his departure for home, the knowing ones predict that he will not put in his appearance on the aboye date, a forfeiture will be taken on his bond, and_ the case virtually settled. The Truzs, however, does not state above as be- ing true, but simply as street ru- mor. The heavy rain Saturday night did great damage to the growing crops in the western part of this county and Kansas. We understand the Emporia railroad suffered. bridges were slightly raised from their foun- dation and the track in low places was submerged for miles. At or near the city of Yoakum, in this county, the track was reported to be under fromtwo tothree feet of water for quite a distance and it was feared that trains could not be sent out on their regular runs Monday. Over in Kansas it is said the rain storm assumed the shape of a water spout and literally deluged the whole ter- ritory in its wake. Between Nevada and Ft. Scott, and beyond Ft. Scott for quite a distance the M., K. & T. | track is reported to have been wash- ed away for several miles, and all trains necessarily delayed.
