Southern and daughter, Ethel, of Independence, arrived in the city the other day to visit at the | residence of J. E. Arnold. Judge Brown, who has been trav- eling over the western and northern part of the county the past week, speaks well for the corn crop. If the wheat market is affected by supply and demand we look for the price to take a big rise as soon as congress settles the money question. J. A. Endres, a prominent busi- | ness man of Leavenworth, Kan., brother of our fellow townsman, | Chas. Endres, died suddenly Satur- day. | The Butler merchants rejoice with | the farmers over the prosperous out- | look of tne crops. Now let congress do the right thing and all will be happy. The railroad men on the Mo. Pac. lines, drawing a salary of $100 and over have not inaugurated a strike because of the 10 per cent cut in their wages.

One of the s}orts advertised to take place at the fair is a grand wolf chase. Wait until you read the roll in congress on the 28th. It will then be time enough to do your rejoicing or cussing. We still have faith in the outcome. The Adrain Journal says the ten year old son of Jas. Whitley fell from a tree Monday of last week and striking on the edge of a wagon | box broke his thigh bone. At a recent convention of tramps in Indiana a resolution was adopted deprecating the un-Aterican idea of accumulating wealth to the detriment of those who do not toil. The Osceola Democrat is anxious | that Judge DeArmond should make the race for supreme Judge, and we think we can see the white of that niggers eye in the wood pile. The editorials in the city gold bug papers at the present time will have little weight oa the average Missouri congressman, a majority of whom, thank providence, represent country districts and are considered level headed men. Many of the manufacturing estab- lishments in the eastern cities are using certified checks in place of local currency. This is done on ac- count of the scarcity of currency and it was either adopt this plan or | shut up shop. The masons expect to complete | the foundation for the jail this week. The cap stones are being put on the front wall of the building. The foundation rock as a rest for the cages look large and solid enough to hold up any amount of weight re- quired of them. Some fields of corn near Passaic are pretty badly injured by the dry weather which has prevailed in that section. The majority of the corn however, in this section looks The injured fields have the appearance of being planted late and too thick on the ground.

Mrs. Asa Morgan returned Fri- day from her visit to Jackson county Illinois. She said the drought had about ruined the crops so that it was feared the farmers would not raise enough to winter their stock. Sandy, the boot black, was tried | Morday charged with disturbing the peace of George Cave. The jury promptly discharged the prisouer. Both parties belonged to the color- ed population. Henry Rugg, a coal miner at the Blair mines near Deepwater, was run over by a Gulf train last week and instantly killed. He had been to town and filled up on whisky and it is supposed he laid down on the track. The creamery at Windsor, Heury county, burned last week. The building with its entire conterts, machinery, ete., was an entire loss. The property belonged to Thomas Leweling and was doing a good busi ness. He had no insurance. Geo. Alspaugh our good German friend and old settler, who has been on the sick list for some months with a seyere attack of rheumatism, left for Eldorado Springs Monday to spend a few weeks for his health, which his many friends bope he will regain. Dr. Betz, who has been absent from the city for the past year, sur- prised his many friends by arriving in town Monday, mounted ona by cycle of the” very latest and best manufacture, minus his chin whisk- ers. Marshall Wolfe of Passaic, was in to see us Friday. He said the mass convention held in his town was unanimous in favor of silver, “and that resolutions endorsing the course of Congressman DeArmond and Gov. Stone were adopted without a dissenting vote. The members of the I. O. O. F. Lodge of this city who attended the celebration at Smithyille, Saturday, say they were never treated whiter in their life, and are loud in their praise of the Smithville lodge and mayor of the city. Everything was free, the crowd was immense and a magnificent time was had. Some of the towns over in Kansas to economize are discharging all their preachers except one, and he is to do the preaching, without politics or doctrine, for the community. This would be all right if they would give the poor preacher a slight increase in salary. M. L. Embree, one of the Ties’ staunch farmer friends from near Ballard, gave us a pleasant call Mon- day and renewed for 1894. He says the best news from his section was that crops were just as good as they could ask and corn was out of danger He talks a littlelike he might take a trip to the Cherokee strip and give the boys a chase for a farm. Mrs. A. Smith and daughter Miss Phenie left Tuesday morning for the world’s fair. They were accompan- ied as far as Kansas City by Ed and Miss Anna. After spending a week or ten days at the fair Miss Phenie will return to Helena Montana, where she holds a position as teach- er in the high school. Harper's Young People for Aug. 15th offers as a prominent article one of Lieutenant Robert E. Peary, U.S. N., “Kyoahpadu, the Angakok” (Kyoahpadu, the Medicine Man,) a most interesting sketch of one of Lieutenant Peary’s Indian acquaint- ances in the Whale Sound regior.

The gates of the Rich Hill fair will be trown open August 22, 23, 24, and 25th. The prospects ure the fair this year will be the best yet held in the county. The man agement has made every preparation to insure a success. The premium list is satisfactory and there is no doubt but the exhibit will be very large aud interesting. Butler will add her share of patronage as the best wishes of the people of this town are with the fair association. The body of a new born babe was found by a couple of boys in an old air shaft two and one-half miles east of Clinton a day or so ago. The shaft was about 22 feet deep and contained 15 feet of water. Mrs. Maggie Sandrick and brother Jim, Mayes, living near where the child was found were arrested on the charge of disposing of the infant. The woman after being placed in jail confessed that she placed the child in the shaft, but exonerated her brother. Mrs. Sandrick is a widow with four children and lived with her brother. The Johngon county Savings bank at Warrensburg, which suspended a short time ago resumed business last week. The result was brought about at a meeting of the depositors, debtors and patrons whoefter learn. ing the true condition of the bank's assets and liabilities, decided with out a dissenting voice, that the bank should reopen without delay and by resolution pledged themselves to stand by the bank and uphold it in business. Such confidence has the right ring and in the future a cyclone would not affect the institution. Mrs. Morris gave an elegant tea Friday evenening at her beautiful home, in honor of Mrs. W. S.

The people now on earth living in this city and who have been readers ot the Sedalia Bazoo for the past quarter of a century, will be more than sorry to learn of the financial distress of that paper, and all join in hoping that its editor, J. West Good- win, will succeed in bridging over his present embarrassments. The Bazoo has been a welcome visitor to this office a good many years and we can assure its editor he has our most sincere sympathies. We are! promised, however, by Mr. Goodwin that the present difficulties will soon be settled and the paper will reap-| pear as heretofore.

Dozens of covered wagons pass through this city daily on their way to the strip. According to the pa- | pers there are more men on the ground now than there are farms to | go around if the land was divided into twenty acre tracts. There never was at this cea3on of the year a brighter prospect for a corn crop in Bates county.

The streets were well crowded by our farmers who came to town to spend a few hours and meet their friends, and the bus- iness men did fairly well. The busy times in the country are now about over and the farmer who has put in a hard summer's work is en- titled toa rest, and the Trres is | glad to know that he can take his ease with the blissful comfort that he has been tayored by providence with an abundant harvest COL.
