For particulars address Box 150, Butler, Mo. 34-2m* Ellenburg, Wash., July 5.—Fire started last evening at 100’clock and before the flames could be subdued the entire business portion and over ahundred houses were consumed. The loss is estimated at hundreds of thousands of dollars. No lives were lost. There is a difference in meeting af- flictions. The Queen of England sent her sympathies tothe Johnstown sufferers, while Emperor Agustus of Germany and the Sultan of Turkey sent gold drafts payable at sight. Yet Victoria is worth dollars where the others are worth coppers. It is said that a French woman loves her husband because he may be witty and chivalrous, a German frau because he is constant, a Rus- sian woman because he believes all westerners are barbarous, etc., and an American woman because her hus- band has money. Otherwise she does not. There is much truth as well as philosophy in this, if divorce decrees are to be believed. Oklahoma City, I. T., July 5.—At three o'clock yesterday afternoon the grand stand at the Fourth of July celebration grounds loaded with a thousand people fell to the ground. One hundred persons were more or less seriously injured and one child —the infant daughter of Dr. J. A. Ryan—was killed outright, while two or three of the injured will prob- ably die. Old man Wm. Smith, of Marsh- field, is reported as still being very wrathy because Deputy President Wade refused to appoint him post- master at that place. Wade's friends, however, claim that Smith no longer has any influence among the Web- ster county republicans ard that he is powerless to do any one harm. Alas! how are the mighty fallen!— Springfield Express. A gentleman came in from Hume Saturday and tied his mare at the hitching rack around the square. About 11 o'clock she was untied by some unknown person and rode out of town. The theft was soon dis- covered and Sheriff White notified. The thief was tracked to the Marma- ton river north of town, where all trace of him was lost. Postal cards were sent out offering $25 for the thief and mare or information lead- ing to their capture—Nevada No- ticer. A woman and a little boy passed through the city Tuesday going on foot to Kansas. This fact itself would not have been so noticeable, but the woman was wheeling a wheelbarrow, upon which were their cooking utensils and clothing. The woman claimed that she had traveled by foot, pushing the wheelbarrow, told us he lost his spring seat and hind end. J. B. Hayes and family and Uncle E. P. Moshier and wife spent the day visiting in Ballard while the young folks were at Butler, the 4th. Rec. Cole says he shuuld have car- ried the Urich parasol home for his girl; no doubt Jim and Lant thought the same. Afton, we are sorry to say, was not able to leave home the 4th, so his best girl was disappointed, we are sure. Judge Cole and Tom Starks, have returned home, bringing with them 125 head of hogs. Jack Moore left us for loved ones in Kansas, said he must see his best girl the 4th, sure. Hope he will re- turn soon. Lee Davidson was seen going to- wards Creighton the 4th, he has at- tractions there. Prof. Burk had better be careful, we heard fromhim, and will now say he has our permission to keep out of Shawnee, as we are afraid of the professor. Last account Mrs. Powell, wife of Judge Powell, was convalescent. W. B. Tyler and Frank Greer were making hay the other day as we passed. The singing was a success so far as a crowd was concerned, all the boys and their best girls were there. Capt. Price, can tell you how he got home from Butler, if he cannot Miss Shelton will. Messrs. Oversley and Ashbury have anew binder, why bind by hand now if you be a wheeler or not, too many machines im the neigh- borhood. Frank Greer and Tom Stover each think of putting upa mail box on their gates so they can get their daily mail. Wat, Cole and who else was it? Loren tell us? took breakfast at Uncle Sam Price’s the 4th, nothing like being on time. J. B. Hayes made the best shot of the season the 29th of June. Willie, who was it that came back Sunday after mail and found it where they left it Saturday eve? all on account of J. B.’ best shot. Some are chilling the last few days. When is the Oak Hill wedding to come off? did they marry the 4th? as reported. Our old time friend Murphy, call- ed for a drink, as he passed en route for Judge Ballards, a few days since. Hem Bue. At the great Haggin sale of yearlings on Monday 100 colts and fillies brought an average price of $1,148. The highest priced animal was a colt by St. Blaize, out of Maud Hampton, which sold for $22,000. St. Louis, July 5.—Thirty-six in- dictments have been found by the federal grand jury for election frauds committed last fall. Seven persons have been arrested, including mem- bers of the republican committee. Jefferson City, Mo., July 6.—Sec- retary of State Lesueur said this evening that the state board of equalization has determined toassess all the Pullman cars now in use in this state. The cars will be valued at $11,000 each. Jefferson City, Mo., July 6.—Gov. Francis has appointed the Hon. Mordecai I. Oliver judge of the new criminal court at Springfield.

For the past week farmers have been very busy with their oats har- vest. Wm. E. Walton, left Monday even- ing for a three or four days ip in Western Kansas. Farmers in the eastern portion of the county, report the Oats very light and chaffy—caused by rust. Silas Levy left Monday evening for Colorado Springs, recreating. He will be absent a month or six weeks. Mrs. W. E. Walton and Mrs. D. A. DeArmond left for Colorado yester- day evening to spend the heated term. J. B. Adair, spent several days last {week visiting relatives and friends at Tipton, his old home, re- turning home Sunday. Ben Ireland was in the city Mon- day for the purpose of purchasing a conbined reaper and mower. He ex- pects to commence cutting oats about Saturday. The case of Wm. Pyle against Marshal Morgan, was called Monday morning for a re-hearing, but owing to Morgan being quite sick was con- tinued until next term of court. Squire D. G. Newsom deserves the credit for preparing the barbecue meat atthe grounds on the 4th, experienced barbecued meat eaters declare it the best barbecu- ed meat they ever ate. This certainly is a highcompliment to Mr. Newsom as a cook. Lost.—Between Geo. Smith's stable and the Butler National Bank, on the night of the 4th, nine balls of binder twine—in sack. The fin- der will greatly oblige the owner by leaving the same at Childs’ store or Geo. Smith’s livery stable. S. W. Childs. The 4th of July celebration in this city was a grand success in every particular. It is estimated that about 6,000 people were in attend- ance and everything passed off qui- etly, satisfactorily and pleasantly. The fire-works at night by the flam- beau club was very good. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on Dr. Ely and Geo. Weaver for lending their time and energies to getting up the celebration. Monday the officers elect of I. O. O. F. lodge were installed into office. Just as preparations were being made for the installment, by the se- cret arrangement, about thirty wives of the Odd Fellows marched into the room and were permitted to remain and view the services. At the conclusion of the installation the lodge was again surprised by the ladies banqueting the boys on ice cream and cake. Little Charley Fulton, six years old living on Pine street, while play- ing with a hatchet one day last week, cut two of his fingers nearly off. Dr. Boyd was summoned and tried to save the little fellow’s fin_ gers, but later was convinced that amputation was necessary. Charley bore up well under the operation and is doing as well as could be ex- pected. Mr. Moore of Platte Vity Slewly Dy- ing of Hydrophobia. Platte City, Mo., July 8.—Joel T. Moore, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of this county, is dying a fearful death from hydro- phobia, contracted from the bite of a rabid dog on May 13th. The symptoms of the terrible mal- ady manifested themselves Thurs- day by a feeling of drowsiness, accompanied with sore throat, in tense craving for water and an acute pain in the bitten part. Since then Moore's condition has gone from worse to worse until now he presents a most pitiable aspect. When the wind causes the leaves. to rustle and the sound reaches his ear his eyes protrude from their sockets and a look of frozen horror appearsin them, his form becomes rigid, his nails sink deep into his quivering flesh, his bared teeth glis- ten like those of a wild animal and snarl after snarl comes from his foam crested lips Water, tea, coffee milk, medicine (in liquid) and all fluids have a like effect on him. “THE HELPING HAND.” Its Work in West Point Township.

Trwes.—The Wheelers and farmers generally of eastern Bates, celebrated the 4th at Young’s grove, | near Spruce, ina very appropriate manner. The day, the location and crowd were all that could be desired to constitute ahappy and harmonious celebration. The holding a picnic was deter- mined uponjonly a few days ahead, so the preperations were hasty and scarcely adequate to the entertain- ment of the vast numbers who as-- sembled,nearly or quite 600. But the good nature and the adaptation to circumstance, for which the farmers are noted enabled all to enjoy them- selves and no grumbling was heard. Rare good taste was displayed in the decoration of the speakers stand, a profusion of flags, banners and rustic festoons of cereal and ever- green surmounted by a massive wheel, emblematicof the organiza- tion, presented a very pleasing effect. The picnic was held under the auspices of the Oklahoma wheel, as- sisted by Elm.Grove of Bates coun- ty and Enterprise, Mt. Hope and Oak Hill wheels of Henry county. Del- egations were also present from Pleasant Ridge and Deepwater wheels. A lengthy program was rendered, consisting of vocal and instrumental music by wheel choirs and Spruce orchestra, reading Declamation of Independence, orations, speeches, etc, besides the regalement of the inner man with epicurian refresh- ments. Hon. Ava Page, master Mo. State Grange, was present by invitation and entertained the auflience with avery interesting and logical dis- cussion of labor and agricultural issues. Rev. J. L. Lawton delivered the oration of the day. He is a pleasing talker, and his remarks were fruitful with many evidences of careful thought. Speeches were made by Judge C. Wix, P. A. Guthridge and others. NOTES. Esquire Hall, as a marshal was very popular, and presented quitea 4| soldierly appearance with military sash and sword. The festive fire cracker and the small boy renewed accquaintance. Mr. Lon Murphy, director of the Spruce orchestra isa brilliant success and contributed largely to the day's entertainment. Miss Lulu White and the Misses Oliver are musical artists of no or- t| were highly appreciated. Among the many handsome floats displayed that of the Enterprise Enterprise is a host, it has 180 members. Mr. J. H. Raybourn as chairman is a great success. The result of this our first attempt at celebrating is quite gratifying. Vincent.
