ENNIS A SLIGHT RETROSPEOTION. When the present mayor elected two years ago our people very well remember the condition of our town. In darkness—without water—dilapidated sidewalks and was crossings—no street commissioner | —a depleted treasury, and, worse still, a half dozen open joints were being run where liquor of all kinds was illegally dispensed. These had be- come notorious. One human life was sacrificed in one of t hese places, and the untimely deaths of two others of our citizens can be traced directly to their influences. The “citizen” officers claimed they had no power to abate these terrible evils and nui- sances. And yet in three days after Col. James L. Pace was inaugurated a3 mayor these joints had all been closed and it was impossible to buy a drink of whisky in thetown. He had gone to each one personally and notified him that if he did not stop the illegal traffic at once that he| would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Then whata mighty change took place in the city. Instead of a dead town, new life was infuse into private and public enterprises, etreets were opened out and put in good repair,new crossings made, the city ball repainted and fixed up, the room lighted with in candescent lamps, water put in, &c. WATER-WORKS. The very first act of the mayor and concil was to advertise for bids tributed much to the excellent management of the | mayor and board of aldermen, with- jout costing the citizens one cents "| additional tax. It now looks very much as if the present congress will do nothing with the silver question. Bland’s free coinage bill resulted ima tie vote and will, in a!! probability fail to be resurrected again this congress. It is currently reported that Bro. | Allen, of the Times, is pledged to }ern district who lives near Butier.— Adrian Journal. | Then current report does us a ) great injustice. We are not pledged to support any gentleman for the nomination to any office. We are pledged, however, and hereby renew |that pledge, to treat every aspirant fairly and |for democratic honors, honorably, and to take no part in) Dr. Morrison Munford, for nearly {twenty years the owner and editor | his residence in Kausas City Sunday jafternoon of pneumonia, after an ill ness of five weeks Dr. Munford of lrecent years met with financial re- | verses and was compelled to give up | his interest in the Times, but be had | made all preparation to start a new paper to be named the world, and | the first issue would have appeared jon Mareh first,but for his illness. Dr. ‘Munford took rank with the best newspaper men of the age. In poli- tics he was recognized as a tighter jaud his political enemies have good reason to remember him. He cou- to making Kansas City what she is to-day, the fore- most city of the west His was an active life and his untimely taking off is a great loss not only to Kan sas City but to Missouri. To the people of Bates county I wish to say that James Baperman, president of Confederate Home of Missouri has sent circulars and blank subscription lists to this of- fice requesting us to put one inthe hand of each schoo! district clerk in the county, to be read at the annual meeting, on April the 5th. In order on water-works and provided that a bonus be put up for a faithful compliance-with contract. It was but a short time before work on the plant was begun which furnished work for all our laborers, and was pushed through to completion of one of the very best plants in the whole west. Our water works are a pride and comfort to all our citizens. FIRE DEPARTMENT. We now have one of the best equipped tire departments in the state. Two hose-carts and hose and hook and Jadder wagon, with a large new fire-bell, in place on the city hall, costing in all about $1,700, and paid for. The fire companies, | composed of the flower of our young men, under the able chief, Dr. Ehly, was organized under the supervision of Col. Pace. ELECTRIC LIGHTS. Col. Pace and the council then be- gan to devise means to properly light our city. The best proposi- tions up to that time for 20 are lhgbts ranged all the way from $1,- 800 to $2,500 per year. These gen- tlemen have secured an excellent electric light plant, and light our eity with 21 are lights for $1,400. This provides for all night lighting and is a great convenience to our citizens: OUB REVENUE. In spite of the additional cost at- tached to all these improvements, so well has the finances of the city been managed that nota cent’s additional tax has been levied egainst our people. Five saloons have been started which pay into the city treas- ury $5,000 annually. An additional license has been levied against the insurance companies which will in-| sure the revenue another $1,000 per | year, which, together with the cur- rent taxes and other sources of rev- enue will make the income of Butler to give every one a chance to share in this great cause of charity, the of- ficera of the home appeal to those in every school district in the state to contribute something to help those who have no right to appeal to the goyernment for aid. We have mail- ed lists to each township trustee to supply each district. There are in structions on the blanks to remit funds raised to the county clerk, with the returns of school iv eeting, which fund will be forwarded to the proper officers by us, and report of same be published in the papers. Now let us all contribute liberally and not allow our great county t» stand with the lowest on the list James Dryspate, Co. Clerk. Has Adjourned. Jefferson City, Mo.. March 24 — The extra session of the Thirty-sixth general assembly adjourned sine die at noon to-day. The senate yesterday passed a bill providing for the rebuilding of the state university at Columbia, and it is now ready for the signature of the governor. The bill only appropriated $40,- 000 which together with the $50,- 000 donated by Columbia and the jusurance, $237,000. The only unfimshed business was the judicial re districting bill which passed. For Making the “Queer.” Nevada, Mo., March 25.—Officers last night arrested John McCullan and John Bedford.negroes, aud Dick Osborne, white, for counterfeiting. The officers found in their posses sion a complete set of counterfeiting tools. The counterfeits were silver dollars, well executed and hard to detect. The officers claim that two or three of the gang escaped when the counterfeiters’ den, over a gro- cery store, was raided. Deputy Sheriff Ewing was assisted in the capture by United States Deputy in the neighborhood of $11,000. Be- sides cutting off all the occupation tax that was assessed against busses, | livery stables, etc, the city last year paid off $1,300 in cemetery bonds. | Marshal Sidwell of Kausas City and K. S. Johnson. The counterfeits made by this gang was so well executed that even the local banks were victimized.

Before the negro will be uccorded | this :ight he must be imbued with a spirit of self pride, independence and x proper appreciation of his claims as a citizen of this great and glorious country.
