The barn of Marion Bouse,of Metz township, Vernon county was burn- ed Friday. The loss is estimated at $1,500 on which he had no insur- ance. How the fire originated is a mystery. The short corn crop in Missouri and Kansas this year has not effect- ed $olitics in the least in either state Over in Kansas there will be five tickets in the field and Missouri can show up equally well. - Sparks from a passing engine set fire to a etubble field on the farm of J. R. Walton, who lives between Clayton and Deerfield, and burn- ed about ninety tons of hay be- longing to Mr. Walton and’ George Green.—Nevada. Noticer. Probably there will not be many new depots go up on the lines of the Missouri Pacific this year. Mr. Gould will have to be saving for a few months. He has just boughta 5 million dollar castle in Mexico. Bridgeport, Il., A t 7.—John A. ier ag al ‘eat eltheked by two pigs this morning, and in trying ~ toescape, fell down. In an instant they were upon him, tearing and biting him savagely. He wasrescued with difficulty bya hired man, but his injuries will probably result fat- ally. ‘The sows were maddened by the intense heat. It hasn't been learned yet where the meanest man in Missouri is, but we think the biggest fool is in Rich Hill. He attempted to quell a little set-to between a neighbor and wife by doing the neighbor up in John L. Sullivan style, when the wife, wo- manlike, | ized him with a flat- iron for interfering.—Nevada Notic- er. Progress. It is very important in this age of vast material progress that a reme- dy be pleasing to the taste and to the eye, easily taken, acceptable to the stomach and healthy in its nature and effects. Possessing these qual- ities, Syrup of Figs is the one per- fect laxative and most gentle diuret- ic known. 36.1m Mo. Lost—On the road between But- ler and the town of Virginia, a sick- le drive wheel off of a mower. The finder will be liberally rewarded if he will return the same to Isreal Nestlerode, Virginia, Mo. Southwest of Holden, in Johnson county, corn is said to be in good condition. If this is true eastern Cass should also have a good pros- pect for corn, while in other parts of the county the outlook in that re- spect is not at all cheering.—News, Harrisonville. Reports from Minnesota say that the Rocky Mountain grasshopper are again on the wing toward the south in clouds so dense as'to darken the sun. While we sympathise with our cousins in other parts of the country we sincerely hope Bates county will not have the repetition of 1874—5. One of the hardest battles fought on Missouri soil, during the war, was that of Lone Jack. It occurred in 1863, and was a fight between Missourians. Capt. F. P. Bronaugh, and others of this county, were in the hottest of the battle. Extensive preparations are being made for the annual celebation of the famous fight. August 16th is the day for the pic- nic, and it is thought it will be more largely attened than any before held. —Booneville Advertiser. Only two Julys of the past twen- ty-three years have been warmer than this (in 1868 and 1874,) says Prof. F. H. Snow in his report for July. On two-thirds of the days of the month the reached 90 The rainfall is 2.67 inches low the average, but two Julys in the bi era gga years, (in 1873, 1.10 inches and in 1886, 0.11) showing less rain. But one fair rain, that of the 15th, 1.25 inches, was had during the month. The wind veloc- ity was above the ayerage. We were very much pleased with the way the people of Butler handled the ay LYE convention. It was her kind, but they decorated and in everyway showed a-spirit of | hospitality. The hotel men-did ad. mirably well and everybody was rea- sonably satisfied. They took great delight in taking their visitors to their lake, show their boating, bath house, pavillion, race track and have you taste stinki mineral water.—- effort at anything of the | shall Casper Stammons received two car loads of ice yesterday, one car was lake ice and the other manufac- tured. Still the cheering news comes in. Dr. Boulware says he has traveled the county in almost every direction from Butler, for from 15 to 20 miles and that he has taken pains to close- ly investigate the prospects for a corn crop this year, and heis satis- fied that fully a two-thirds crop if not more will be gathered. The public well, recently sunk to the depth of 139 feet at the corner of the square, is furnishing an abun- dent supply of good cool water. Great credit is due to our city coun- cil for the prosecution®and comple- |tion of the needed enterprise.—Os- ceola Sun. The council of Butler would not be spending money injudicially, if they would sink the public well at the southwest corner of the square about 100 feet deeper. Orsay until water plenty was found. Plenty of water in this well would prove not only a blessing to the farmers, but also to the business men. At this season of the year the tr: tion engine is found along tk try roads drawing the th equipments from one th toanother. In many mstances we hear of teams being frightened and running away aud doing serious in- jury, because the engineer fails to stop his engine, as required by law, when meeting a team. Sections 923 and 824 R.S., 1889, provides that all kinds of traction engines must be stopped at least 150 yards from the approaching team. The penal- ty for neglecting to conform to the law is a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $150.—Ex. Reepublican Convention. The republican mass convention met in the court room at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The following persons were elected as delegates to the congressional convention, which meets in Carthage on August 20th. L Hibbs, H B High, A V Francis, Chas. W Ross, O D Austin Jas. C Lane, J T Weathers, J M Lenox and J W Reisner. The delegates to the state conven- tion to be held in Jefferson City Au- gust 12th: J W Hannah, J M McKibben, O D Austin, G N States, Wm. Requa, Clark Wix, L Haganeur, J Evilsizer and G P Huckeby. Wheat Thieves. For several weeks past a party of wheat thieves have been following the wake of the threshers in the western part of the county. At night they would swoop down and steal a load of newly threshed wheat and sell it at some market. It was sev- eral days before any clue tc the thieves was obtained, and in the meantime hundreds of bushels of wheat were stolen. Monday 4 clue was obtained and constable Lamp- kin of Kingsville, arrested two col- red men named Rhodes and a white man named Collins. They all reside south of Kingsville near Benton City. They were brought to War- rensburg and lodged in jail and no doubt are the guilty parties.—War- rensburg Journal-Democrat. The city council met Monday night and after attending to the routine business of allowing ac counts, and hearing reports of the different committees, and discussing the sidewalk question. Mayor Pace laid before the council several com- munications which he had received inregard tolighting the city and put- ting ina water works plant. The communications were carefully read and the mayor was instructed to cor- respond with the parties and see what could be done in regard to lighting the city and securing the water-works plant. We are inform- ed that one firm offer to put in a water-works plant, the same as they have in a number of towns in II, which they say are giving universal satisfaction and which would be sufficient for the needs of Butler at a cost to our citizens of $2,000 per year. The nomination of William H. Davis of Windsor township, for the highest office within the gift of the people of Henry county, recalls the fact that patient labor will reap its final reward. In the issue of this paper for September 29, 1869, we find that A. 4 ao & Co., then proprietors o: e He County Democrat made a sale to William H. Davis, who assumed control in the following words: “We come, fellow- citizens of Henry county, to make our homes among you. We come among you to labor for the advance- ment of your county and town, and always be found the zealous friend of every enterprise that tends to such a result. By advancing our town and county, we expect to en- rich the citizens individually.” —Clin- ton Democrat. W. H. Davis the nominee for rep- resentative of the democratic party of Henry county, is a brother to J. R. Davis, foreman of this paper. a Texarkana, Ark., August 1—A A school teacher says that pupils who have access to newspapers at home when compared to those who have not, are better readers, are | better spellers, better grammarians, better in punctuation and read more understandingly, and obtain a prac- tical knowledge of geography in al- most half the time in requires others. The newspaper is decidedly an im- portant factor in modern life— | Orange (Tex.) Tribune The Iowa democrats have nomi- nated a strong ticket ona very strong | platform. On the tariff, on silver, on the Force bill and the rights of the people to manage their own elections they speak with an empha- sis that cannot be misunderstood. They enter the campaign with every- thing in their favor and there is hardly a doubt but that they will hold the state by a larger vote than that by which they carried it in the last election for governor. The whole west is sick of the alliance between republicanism and plutoc- jracy.—St. Louis Republic. A Very Live Corpse. sensation was created in this city last evening by the discovery of an undertaker who had been employed to burry C. L. Miller, who received injuries in the Missouri Pacific yar ds at this place on Wednesday, which resulted in his death yesterday morn- ing. The remains were turned over to Undertaker Shutt, who had them removed to his establishment pre- paratory to burial. In preparing the body for the grave, Undertaker Shutt observed that there was a marked difference in the corpse and the hundreds of obters that he handled. The eyes were open, and there was an absence of that rigidity characteristic of the dead. His un- easiness finally resulted in his calling a physician, to whom he imparted rubbing the supposed corpse was restored to life again, and will, ac- cording to present indications, fully recover. Miller says that he was fully conscious of what was going on around him all the time, but could not utter a word or move a muscle. He was in awful agony for fear of being buried alive, and having es- caped the grave he is now a very happy man. New Colorado Route, With the completion of Ft. Scott & Eastern Railway between Rich Hill and Ft. Scott, and all Missouri Pacific line is established between St. Louis, Wichita and all points on the Fort Scott, Wichita & Western Railroad, and also between South- west Missouri points and the west. The line is equipped with Free Re- clining Chair Cars to Geneseo, where connection is made with all points in Colorado and the Rocky Moun- tains. See local ticket agents. 27-2 Will They Stick. From one end to the other of the state of Kansas the people are demanding lower tariff taxes and are endorsing Mr. Blaines’ reciproci- ty policy, and Senator Plumb seems to be at last listening to the voices of his constituents. If he sticks to the fight in the interest of the west he may be able to make many need- ed reductions in the pending bill, but if he only plays a bluff game, like he did on the silver question, he will do no good for his section, and will not be entitled to the respect of country. To vote for the tariff bill on the round up, without having its iniquities corrected, will be support- ing the robber barons, just as he and other Republicans finally went over to the gold bugs after demand ing free coinage of silver.
