Rich Hill, was in the city Monday shaking nands with his friends. A great many farmers who have plowed their wheat ground are wait- ing for a rain before planting. J. W. Douglas of Henry county, is 6 feet 9 inches tall, and did most of the growing after he was 22 years old. The Kansas j papers deny the re- ports sent out that the hot winds in the western part of that state bas damaged the corn crop. _ Gen.

Some mischievous scoundrel Fri- day night attempted to cut the throat of one of Mrs. Patton’s bus horses. Had the blade of the knife penetrat- ed half an inch deeper it would have cut the jugular vien. Selling whiskey ata camp meei- ing is wrong, and if it can be prov- en on the parties now under arrest on the charge of selling liquor at the Mulberry camp meeting the fine should not be light. While we are talking about manu- factories for Butler, will some one tell us wha isthe matter with the three milis of this city,that they are not kept running night and day. We think the question pertinent and would dike for some one better post- ed than we are to answer. The president has appointed as postmaster at Independence, Thom- as James, a leading member of the latter day saints. Mr. James’ prom- inence in the mormon church is not relished by the republicans otf that town and it is said that his appoint- has raised a hubub in the partys | Chief, jr., Miss Susie Hepner, the handsome | and accomplished young lady of St. | | Louis, who has been visiting Miss Malissa a y, has returned home. in eae City, “attempted eet Sunday evening, and will | die from the effects of the wound. | Unable to overcome the appetite for drink is the cause of the act.

Mudd, Burdett’s popular and enterprising merchant, in com- pany with C. Cotherin, made us a pleasant cail while in tne city Wed- nesday. He informed us of the queer freaks played by lightning in Burdett a week or so ago. Dan Cotherin and Jas. Cowley were driy ing into Burdett on a load of hay when lightning struck «a tree and glancing off killed both horses ine stantly. The men were not even shocked, but were badly frig rhtened. Chas. S. Coneklin, our popular farmer friend will attend the Neva- da fair uext week and enter his two thoroughbred stallions, and Timothy. two of the best blooded Mambrino They are animals in this section of the state, and if style and pedigree is to be taken into con- sideration then Mr. C. will certainly walk away with the ribbons. Mr. Wesley Warnock informs us that he too will attend the fair and that he will take with him a colt by Ed- dy Ward, belonging to Mr. Walls. It isa fine animal and will be hard to beat. Robt. T. Railey, of Harrisonville, one of the prominent lawyers in southwest Missouri, gave us a pleas- ant call while in the city Thursday. Mr. Railey has taken a very promi- nent part in politics in this section of the state fora number of years, but besides going asa delegate to the National convertion several times he has positively refused to run for any political office, though repeat- edly urged to do so by his many friends and admirers. He much prefers to stand at the head of his profession, which distinction he enjoys. We learn from persons in town Monday that a traction engine in crossing a ravine in the public road a couple of miles north of town Sun- day evening, went through and the engine, which went down some four feet, was considerably damaged. A pair of horses hitched to the tongue was thrown high in the air‘and fell ina heap in the gulch, one of the animals being buried,except the head out of sight inthe mud, but fortu- nately neither was hurt. The men attending the engine jumped and saved themselves. They claim the necessary precaution of laying plank on the bridge was taken, but that the bridge timbers were insufficient to bear the weight. I have the largest and most com- plete line of school books and school supplies in Butler and can save you money. Gro. W.

Had the thief entered this room he would have made a pretty good haul, as Mr. Graves had several dollars in money in his pocket and on a dress- ing case, in full view, was his one hundred and twenty dollar. gold watch and a seventeen dollar pistol.
