The county court will meet Satur- day, and as this will be the last meeting until the regular term in November, those township collectors who have not yet filed their bonds and secured their books had better be hustling if they do not want to wait until the regular term to get them.

Duke was employed as an assistant in the bank. - Mr. Dukehas had con siderable experience in the banking business, having been with the But- ler National Bank for a number of years.

The most of which will be passed through the thresherand the seed will be forsale, which will bring into the farmers pockets considerable ready cash. He also said he had traveled over the county a good deal of lateand the hay crop was the largesthehad ever witnessed since his residence in Bates, and old set- tlers tell him the pasturage was never better.

There are two crops of railroad engineers south of town working this way. One camp isin Dr. Da- vis's field a mile and a half from town. The report is that one gang is running a line from Ft. Scott here, and the other is surveying a route for the Kansas City, Rich Hill & Southern. They will probably be in town this week. Wehave heard so much about railroad surveys this summer that have never amounted to any thing more than a survey, that we fave concluded to wait awhile before throwing up our hat. —Foster News. Thos. J. Smith, as chairman of the water-works committee. presented to the town board Thursday evening the water-works proposition of Mr. Ingalls, with the recommendation that in the judgment of the commit- tee the proposition was fair and rea- sonable aside fron. the hydrant rentals, which the committee had not fully investigated. The board then set the 5th of September as the date on which water-works prop- ositicns would be received and acted on and that the company giving the lowest aud best proposition would be given the franchise. The city council also granted a franchise to a number of our leading citizens to build and operate a street railway over certain streets named in the ordinance from the Mo. Pae. Railway depot to the Lake & Park Co. The company is to have the line completed in one year irom the date of the ordinance. grounds. R. H. Browing, of Adrian, was in the city Saturday accompanied bya gentlemanly appearing man by the name of Hood. Mr. Hood, judgi by his conversation, was a Capit ist of no mean pretensions and was seeking investments. |The tate men and brokers of Butler are not slow in “catching on” to a soft 1 reat es- snap and in 2 short time cnough bargains were brought to his notice to satisfy him if,he had millions to invest. He said that he had invested largely in Adrian real estate. Some of the boys were enjoying the mat- ter hugely, having been shown a tel- egram by Mr. Browning from the superintendent of the insane asylum at Ossawatomie, Kan., from which place Mr. Hood had escaped. Mr. Browning was humoring his whims in order to detain him until the asy- lum officers arrived. Mr. Emery is making arrange. ments to re-model the front of the store buildings occupied by Bennett, Wheeler & Co. and R. R. Deacon, and to this end had an architect in the city two or three days last week from Kansas City drawing up the plans. The front, we understand, is to bea fac-simile of the new build- ing on the epposite corner. It is also said the interior of the room now occupied by Bennett, Wheler & Co., is to be re-modeled and finish- ed up in elegant style. The Butler people are proud of Mr. Emery, and his enterprising spirit and always -point with much pride to the valua- ble improvements he has made and is still making in our city, chief among which is the improvement he has made in the appearance of the two store buildings occupied by Bennett, Wheeler & Co., and R. R. Deacon, the mammoth block under course of erection on the oppasite corner. two dwellings on North Main street occupied by E. A. Bennett and Joe Meyers, and the third which is near completion adjoining the above to be occupied by Dr. J. R. intends building two or three more residences in his block on North Main street as soon as suitable rent- ers are found to take them. -- EVERYTHING GOES THIS Goes for about no price at all.
