GALL FOR COMMITTEE MEETING. Notice is hereby giyen to the members of the Bates Co. Democrat- ic Central committee that there will be a meeting of the same at Butler Saturday April 12th at 1 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of determining time and manner ef selecting dele- gates to attend the state convention to be held at St. Joseph, Mo., June 11th, 1890. D. R. Brapen, Chairman. EARLY OB LATE (ONVENTION. A large number of democrats have spoken to us of late in regard to the policy of an early or late convention for the county offices and it is the unanamous sentiment of all these that the party shovld pursue the policy as in former campaigns of an early convention, the nemination of good men and make the campaign on party issues. These gentlemen seem to think that a halting, hesi- tating line of policy at this time, with a freeze-out game, will not do the party any good, but put it on the defensive instead of pushing the fight asit has always done heretofore. They point as an instance that the State Democratic Committee appreciated this and called an unusually early convention, and they reason that the same causes for an early convention exist in the county as in the state. We frankly admit that we arein doubt as to the best policy to be pursued in the premises, and that it being a question worthy of serious consideration, the committee should be called to consider the matter in all its bearings, and it might be a good idea to call the prominent democrats of the county, those who have always taken an active interest in the party success, to meet with them and decide this matter satisfactorially to all so that no complaint may be made in the future. The committee will have to make arrangements for sending delegates to the state con- vention, and we suggest that the above idea be incorporated in the call and at this meeting of the ccm- mittee decide on the best policy to be pursued. After the above was in type we received a notice from D. R. Braden, chairman of the democratic commit- tee, calling the committee together on April 12th, which call we publish in another column. —_—_—_—_—— President Cleveland found a one- legged soldier in an Illinois post- office. The maimed veteran was an uncompromising republian, but that did not matter, he was a good official and President Cleveland turned a deaf ear to every plea and petition to oust him from the office, and re- appointed him against all opposi- tion. Two weeks ago President Harrison kicked this faithful old one-legged soldier out of the office and installed a stripling of thing whose only service to his country had been the editing of a vile little patent inside republican paper. Great is the love of the g. o. p. for the old soldier. In the words of a local ceelbrity: “We will give them pensions, but to give them offices will drive all the young men out of the party.” Judge Gantt has consented, after urgent request from the democracy of the state, to become a candidate for supreme judge. He is a grand and noble gentleman, and there is no better man in the state for the posi- tion. Every man who casts his bal- lot for Judge Gantt, at the coming election, will vote for a man of hon- or and integrity, and one who will fill the position entrusted to him, ifelect- ed, with dignity and credit to the state —Clinton Eye. Later news from Bowling Green, | om great many democratic papers |over the state are advocating that ithe state couvention, to be held in St. Joseph in June, nominate a can- didate for United States Senator, land let such nominee canvass the state for the ticket. Wedoubt the propriety of such a course. It would have no binding effect ou the rep- resentatives and senators elect, ex- cept as an expression from the state convention, and each member of the general assembly will be guided more by the sentiment of their re- spective counties than they will by the actions of a state convention months before the election. Then, again, it might have the effect of inducing friends of other candidates for United States Senator to run the nominee of this convention behind his ticket, in order to convince the members of thelegislature that such candidate is weaker than his party. Taking this view of the matter we do not believe it would strengthen any man’s chances for this high of- fice to receive such a nomination, nor would it, inour judgment, add strength to our ticket, but rather have the effect to weaken it, for the reasons given above. The Nevada Democrat says the new system of voting used in the recent city elections is a great im- provement over the old system, and does away with the strifeand wrang- ling over a voter around the polls. The yoter goes alone into his stall and casts his ballot, absolutely un- trammeled and free from observa- tion. The true democrats of Butler are determined to stand by their colors at alltimes and show the country democracy that they are neither dead nor faltering, though often cast down in defeat the past few years. Alex Chambers, who returned last week from a trip in Kansas, says this regarding the Alliance and co- operative stores in that state: “When a merchant signs a contract to sell at a profit of 7 per cent. on groceries and 10 per cent. on other goods, he is simply cutting his own throat financially. In the last two weeks five of the principle co opera- tive stores in Kansas have gone to the wall; three of these at Cedarville, Yates Center and Grenola for $35,- 000. Not one merchant ina dozen is making more than a fair living.” It is our belief, as we have remark- ed before that the Alliance is a grand organization, and is banded together for a noble purpose, but great caution should be used that their endeavors be not exerted against their best friends, (the re- tail merchants.) The Farmers’ un- ion is taking rank among the strong- est organizations in our country, and if proper discretion is used they will soon be able to correct the evil which they now can but deplore.— Schell City News. The latest bulletin issued by the State Board of Agriculture at Col umbaia is to the effect that: wheat in Missouri is recovermmg from the ef- fect of the cold weather and that the outlook is promising. The condition of the crop is about 90 per cent. There is a large acerage and the plant hascome through the winter in first class shape. Everything is looking well this spring in Missouri —including tariff reform, which has found a firm lodgement in the soil of this state.—K. C. Star. Judge Ryland, of Missouri, has done his best to cast a gloom over the southwest. He has struck a blow at progressive euchre. He in- structed a jury the other day that progressive euchre for prizes is gam-blin-g. The judge may be right, but Oh, what anguish he has inflicted on once happy homes. Now that progressive euchre has been as- sailed, what nice, quiet little game is safe? Perhaps some of these days a Kentucky judge will be making unkind remarks in reference to draw- poker.—New York Tribune. The McKinley tariff committee has practically agreed to place works of art on the free list.” This will enable the great capitalists of the Kentucky, shows that town escaped with only a slight shaking up, the Taxed Coat system to bring in their - TORNADO. LOUISVILLE LAID WASTE. \ ee | Three Hundred People Killed at the } Least Estimate. The Union Depot Thrown Bodily Into | The Ohio. Louisville, Ky., March 28.—Short ly after 9 o’elock last night a torna- do swept over this city, wrecking 200 or 300 people. The wind came from the southwest. The union de- pot at the foot of Seventh street was lifted from its foundations and turn- ed over into the raging torrent of the Ohioriver. A train ofcars mak- ing up for the Louisville Southern road went over with the building. Falls City hall, on West Market street, was wrecked. In the hall were over 100 people, and but few of them escaped alive. Many buildings after falling caught fire and the in- mates were burned. ll streets are blockaded with debris of fallen buildings or telegraph and electric wires. This dispatch was carried around the city to the bridge and sent by railroad wire. AWFUL REPORTS FROM CINCINNATI. Cincinnati, O., March 28.—Infor- mation received here from a reliable source late to-night says: A cyclone struck Louisville in the southwest portion and took a north- easterly direction from Fourteenth and Walnut to Eleventh and Market streets. From this latter point it folloved its course to Seventh and the river, where it left the city and striking across the river reached Jef- fersonville at the foot of Spring street. Little damage was done in Jeffersonville, however. In Louisville the devastation is terrific and the loss of life will cer- tainly reach hundreds if not thou- sands. In one building at Twelfth and Market two lodges and a danc- ing school were in session there be- ing perhaps 100 people, not one of whom is thought to have escaped. Eight corpses were taken outin eight minutes. There is scarcely anything le't to indicate that this heap of rubbish had ever been a building and if any of its inmates escaped it was nothing less than by a miracle. The path of the cyclone was about a square and a half in width. A TOWN’S AWFUL FATE. Cincinnati, March 28, 4 a. m.— Late dispatches state that the tornado struck the town of Bowling Green, Warren connty, Ky., and completely wiped it out. As all the wires are down no de- tailed report cau be*obtained. Bowling Green has a population of about 5,000 inhabitants, and the loss of life is conjectured to be cor- respondingly large. AN ILLINOIS TOWN WRECKED. Metropolis, Ill., March 28.—A cy- clone last night cut a clean swath about a quarter of a mile wide clear across the town, wrecking property of all descriptions and burying men women and children under the debris of falling buildings. Several hun- dred people were killed or wounded and between two and three hundred houses were swept from their foun- dations above the heads of their un- fortunate occupants. The storm was past in a moment and then came a blinding rain,greatly retarding the work of rescue. People outside the path of the storm were quickly on the streets and as fast as possible the victims were taken from the ruins. The rain soon ceased and the full horror of the situation became ap- parent. On every side could be heard the groans of the dying, and all arround lay the mangled bodies of the dead. Scores of bodies were removed from ruins. The wounded were taken to the homes of those who had escaped the calamity and given every possi- ble attention, but many have doubt- less died through lack of proper medical attendance. In the business district, stores that had been considered substan- tial were demolished in an instant. main storm passed around the town. | $30,000 pictures untaxed, to be look-|The cyclone entered the town Subscribe for the Butler Weekly Tings. led at by the favored individuals of | people whose clothing pays 70 | per cent taxes.—Republic.

Trees were twisted off short and hurled long distances. {Fences were leveled in the country for miles before the cyclone reached Metropolis, and for miles beyond. Every church and every, other prominent building in the place is either destroyed or badly damaged, including two school houses, the court house and jail and many small- er structures. HISTORY OF THE STORM. The disaster at Louisville was the culmination of the storm which, originating Wednesday in the north- ern part of Arizonia, swept in a northeasterly direction to the lake region. At 8 o'clock yesterday morn- ing the center of the storm was near Salina, Kas., the southern part of the storm center being at Wichita where it did considerable damage. Throughout the whole course of the storm the lowest barometric pressure was in the southern por- tions of its center and it was this portion of the storm that inflicted all the damage. At Wichita it was 29.08 and the wind was blowing at the rate of twenty-eight miles an hour. Before noon, holding the northeasterly course, the storm cen- ter hovered over Kansas City. There, as announced in the Star, the barom- eter read 29.20, the lowest point reached ina long time, and proba- bilities of severe winds was indicat- ed. At 8 o’clock last night the cen- ter of the storm was south of Vin- cennes, Ind., the barometer indicat- ing 29.2and the wind blowing at the rate of thirty-six ‘miles an hour. The storm gathering in intensity swept over the lower part of Illinois and shortly after 9 o'clock became a tornado, the southern part of the storm center breaking over Louis- ville. This morning at 8 o’clock the storm center rests between Toledo and Cleveland, at each of which cities the barometer reads 29.24, but is probably 29.21 between them. The wind at Cleveland is blowing at the rate of fiteen miles an hour, and this afternoon the storm is sweeping over the breast of Lake Ontario in- tn Canada. Notice of Final Settlement.
