The township collectors were busy most of last week making settlement with the county court and the court was kept pretty busy all the week. It has been a good year for tax-col- lecting and the showing made by the collectors, compared with for- mer years is exceptionally good. One more good crop year will put the farmers on their feet. W. A. Pointer, living five miles | southeast of town and dealer in | thoroughbred cattle, sold Saturday, to the Butler butchers a Jersey bull, | 3 years of age, which weighed 1,650 pounds. The animal was a thorough- bred and we doubt if there is anoth- er like breed in the state that can compete with this Jersey in weight. The second semi-annual conven- tion of the Bates county Christian Union, will be held at Rich Hill, March 30th and 31st. A splendid program for the occasion has been arranged, and a good profi table time is anticipated. The at- tendance of the members is earnest ly requested. The Rev. Ben Deering,pretty well known in this county, has proved himself a veritable nuisance in Jef- ferson City this winter. These lob- by legislators who hang around Jef- son City at every session of the gen- eral assembly, ought to be given their walking papers on the conven- ing of that body. If the legislators must have a lobby dictation it ought to be with the advice of men with brains and not cranks. C. H. Morrison, collector for Charlotte township, called Saturday and informed us that out of a total of $5,000 due in his township for taxes, he had returned his books with a delinquent list of less than $21. Mr. Morrison said he had no trouble in making collections, and the good showing made certainly in- dicated the farmers had money. It |there is a collector in the county that can beat this record he will please call at the Trves office and | show up. John T. Lebo, now confined in the penitentiary at Jefferson City, renews for 96. Mr. Lebo has been aregular subscriber to the Tres since his confinement in the pen. He was convicted on circumstantial |evidence of having murdered his | wife by throwing her in a well. He stoutly at the time and ever since, | has denied his guilt, and as he has paid tne debt of his misdeed with all these years of confinement it | seems it would be an act of charity now that he is getting to be an old man, to once more give him bis lib- } erty.

In the neighborhood in| which the disease has made its ap pearance the school board decided | to close the school to prevent the | further spread of the disease. i The democrats of Howard town-| ship nominated the following ticket, Trustee, R.

Ricks. | Jackson Corder, one of Independ ence, Mo, most substantial and wealthy citizens, spent Saturday in the city. He had sold a large tract of land east of town to Sculleys’ and | was here for the purpose of making a transfer of the papers. The Butler public schools are the| most economically managed schools in this section of the state. This year the board will only ask for an additional levy of 15 cents making | a total levy for maintaining the schools 55 cents The tax in other towns in this section ranged from 90 cents to $1. A young man from Stotesburg, Mo, named Green, handled a butch er named Carver, from Richards, | pretty roughly at Hume, Saturday last, by slashing him with a knife. The butcher was severely cut about the face and head and he may die. It seems the young man was, ina measure, justifiable, as no arrests were made. The constitutional limit of seventy days for the Missouri legislature ended Tuesday and from that date until adjourment the members will receive but one dollar per day. Were it not for this wise provision of the constitution the leg- islature would have remained in ses sion until the sprouting of the corn crop. The boys soon find a way to adjourn on a dollar a day, rabbit | or nbd rabbit | Henry Tilson, of Osage township, called on the Timrs. He said he had sold 40 acres of land and came up to make a transfer of the papers. He said he expected to sow 100 acres of oats this spring and in the fall would put the ground in English blue grass. The seed from this grass, he said, was worth $2 per bushel and after cutting would then pasture the land. Ifthe grass did well he expected to sow 200 acres, as he be- lieved it was the best and surest crop a farmer could raise, and for pasture could not be beat and he could get all the stock he wanted at $1.50 per head. While chopping in the timber Wednesday of last week, our esteem- ed citizen Frank Voris, living south of town, met with a very serious and painful accident, and one which is calculated to confine him to his bed for several weeks. He was chopping near his house when the tree on which he was standing rolled and caught his right leg, dislocating the limb at the knee and badly lacerating the ligaments. The wound is so bad it is probable Mr. Vercis will be left with a stiff leg and a permanent cripple. He was held fast by the tree until his cries brought help when he was released and taken home. The mystery of the murder of Benjamin McCullough, for 17 years paying teller in the State Savings Bank, at St. Louis, and one of the! best known men in that city, who was mysteriously murdered at his home May 19, 1893, has just been cleared up by the confession of Jim | Murray, anegro in the Clayton jail under sentence of death, who makes the confession of the murder, imph- cating three other parties Murray by so doing, hopes to get a respite from the governor. The persons he implicates in the murder are Chas. William, Wm. Hensley and Henry/ Shelton, all negroes. | i The West Point democrats nomi-; nated the following ticket for jrun the risk of making him mad in say to our old and esteemed friend |for at least two years.
