Carnes, for the past seven or eight years station agent at this place, has resigned his position, and Monday, with his family, took the train for Denver, Col., where he will locate provided he is pleased with the surroundings.

The farmers are busy this nice weather plowing for corn, and get- ting in their crops; consequently the streets of Butler for the last two or three days have put on a Sunday appearance. This is all right, the plows must be kept busy to insure a bountiful harvest and we hope to see the farmer realize his brightest anticipation of big crops and good prices. Capt. H. C. Donohue, Bates county’s next representative in the legislature, was circulating among his friends in Appleton City Tues- day.—Appleton City Journal. So that is why the Captain is so enthusiastic for a farmer's ticket! We thought it was for the good of the order. But then he knows how to look after self, and when the truth is known, most of the leaders who are so solicitous for the farm- ers’ good are looking out for No. 1.

The Tiwes job office last week printed a 20 page brief in the case of John Wirt against Anna Dinan and John Dinan, her husband, in the Kansas City Court of Appeals, Holcomb & Smith and Parkinson & Graves, attorneys for defendants. Our readers will remember Anna Dinan stole a herd of cattle near Rockville and sold them to plaintiff in Cass Co. John Wirt attached the property of John Dinan to save him- self after the cattle were replevied by the owner. The brief was pre pared by Thos. J. Smith and the number of points and authorities cited and the close and logical rea soning shuws much thought and careful study. It fact the case is tried upon an abstract question of law, and Mr. Smith can be congrat- ulated upon his fine legal effort. Our esteemed young friend, Silas W. Levy, of the firm of Sam’l Levy & Co., took his departure for St. Louis, Monday. To-day he leaves St. Louis for Helena, Ark , where he will be married on the 22nd inst. to Miss Ellen R.
