Bravex, Secretary, Chairman. WATER-WORKS FOR BUTLER. The Dewey water-works franchise having expired on the Ist, leaves the city council free to act in the prem- ises, and profiting by past experi- ence, present a proposition that the people can and will vote, and the works be put in promptly. Mayor Pace informs us that he is now in correspondence with several water- works companies, and is satisfied that a very much cheaper and better proposition cau be secured than the one just expired. He has the full plans, specifications and statement of the workings of a plant put in by a certain townin Illinois of about 6,000 inhabitants. The town voted $18,000 in bonds and contracted with a Chicago firm to construct the works complete for $16,000. In this case the water supply was se- cured from a well adjoining the city. The total mains laid in the city is 5 miles. In the case of Butler the water supply would probably have to be brought about four miles, making that additional cost to the construction. The following is a statement taken from the books of the city clerk, of the above town, for the fiscal year ending June Ist, 1890, showing the financinl condi- tion of the water-works system: Number of water-takers June 1, 790 Revenue from same 196 $1528,32 Engineer’s salary, per year Coal and other expen ses, per year Interest on bonds Interest on other indebtedness $430,00 275,00 Total expenses $1500,89 This leaves a net revenue of $27,43 over all expenses for the fiscal year just ended; and the plant is only 18 months old. The daily paper of that town says: “The number of water takers is constantly on the increase and the net revenue is following suit. Inthe miuds of our best financiers there is little doubt but that the water bonds will be paid by the time they are due— in 1908—by the accumulation of the water rates, without any assessment whatever upon tax payers. If other towns in Illinois could oaly know by experience the advantages of a system of water works like ours, and could be assured that their “plants would become self sustaining in less than 18 months, we are confident they would issue bonds and put in the -plants at the earliest possible moment.” The Journal of Agriculture, the official paper of the State F. & L. U..is showing up their business agent of the state, established at St. Louis, in fine style. The follow- ing is a short extract which might be read with profit by some of our farmers who insist on sending away from home to those “business agents,” to buy their groceries in- stead of patronizing home mer- chants: “This Business Agency was es- tablished for the purpose of saving money to the people; not to put money into the pockets of an agen- - Let us see if it is doing thus.

Cass county will present at the congress- ional convention to meet at Butler, whom democracy has long been proud. Judge Noah M. Givan came to this county in 1866, when the dark cloud of war had scarcely passed away, the light only feebly breaking upon the hills, and the fury of the tempest had hardly gone by. He S. H. Fisher, of Osage township, presents his claims and asks the nomination for Treasurer by the democratic party. Mr. Fisher is well and favorably known to the democratic voters of Bates county, having made au active, honorable canvass for the nomination to this office against the present incumbent, Oscar Reeder, two years ago, and had avery strong following over the county. He is a gentleman well qualified in every respect to perform the duties of Treasurer, and the democratic party could not nominate a stronger or a better came to us when every hill-top had a lone chimney and smoke had bare- ly left the smoldering embers. He came to us with Gen. Frank P. Blair and other great and good men, pleading and preaching enfranchise- ment of the greater portion of the citizens of the country. Darkness had swept over the fortunes of the democracy. Its ranks were broken; it had no teaders. To raily the scattered, crest-fallen fragments of the old party and fix it up for dress parade was a herculean task. Judge Givan believed that it ought to be done, that the principles of the «td party were eternal and shoul! not and could not die. He felt it is religious bcunden duty to bend lis energies for its good. For man. He is sober and industrious, honest in all his dealings, clever and courteous in his intercourse with his fellow man and a gentleman who would reflect credit upon any party. The election of E. W. Stephens of the Columbia Herald, as President of the National Editorial Associa- tion at Boston Friday, was a compli- ment, not only to that gentleman, but to the State. Mr. Stephens is one of the coming men of this com- ;monwealth. He is broad, liberal, aggressive, able, patriotic, and pos- seses in an eminent degree those qualifications that go to make a leader among the people. Jefferson City, June 27.—It is said on good authority that Jasper N. Burks, chief grain inspector of this p:rpose he started a democratic news} per, the first one published in Ha. risonville after the war. He was adeu ceat of the old school, well versed in its principles and teachings, had been at the feet of| that cld Gamaliel, Thos. A. Hen- dricks, and learned of him. He was well qualified to perform the work, and under his supervision the party soon vot into line, closed ranks, and has presented an unbroken front ever since. Judge Givan was born and raised ona farm in Dearborn county, In- diana, and is now 49 years of age. At the age of 21 he graduated from the Indiana State University, having by his own labor educated himself. His father was born and his antecedents without excep- tion were demvcratic. During the McClellan campaign he published } the Democratic Register at Law-|: renceburg. Indiana, and manfully | ec battled for democratic principles in the fierce excitement af that memor-| * able contest. He was the first to suggest the name of Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks for president of the Unit- ed States In 1877 he was elected judge of Missouri, will resign in a few days. Mr. Burks will probably run for state senator from the St. Francois county district.

In his profession Judge Givan has always been honorable, persever- ing and industrious, and to-day stands among the leading lawyers of the state. He is and always has been a friend to the poor and unfor- tunate. His early struggles in life haye made him the friend of those who have to struggle.
