The Adrian Journal reports the death of Mrs. Joha Lentz, in that city, April 4th. She was a consistent member of the Baptist church, and a lady much loved and respected in the community in which she lived. The officers ought to stop the tramp business in this town. For the past week it has hardly been possible for a lady to open her kitchen door without being con- fronted by a big burly vagabond. G. R.

No small objection which young folks had to the old time spring- medicines was their nauseousness. In our day, this objection is removed and Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, the most powerful and popular of biood puri- fiers, is as pleasant to the palate as a cordial. Phillips of Summit township, late of the populist ticket, ought to meet at Lost Corner school house and hold an experience meeting. As the Judge is an old stager at office seeking he might give the Professor some valu- able tips on getting left. Anyhow, there is nothing like consolation. From Judge Dalton’s report cf business the matrimonial market has enjoyed quite a boom the past two or three weeks, and it is getting to be very common for the judge to unite in marriage two couples a day. It is right tor young people to get married when they want to and the old folks don’t object.

If Butler ever gets any of these State institu- tions she will have to ask for them, |and the Ties favors putting in a bid for this one. i The big fire at Plattsburg Sunday, which started in a livery barn and destroyed two eutire business blocks and part of another, also burned the court house with all its records. The loss is estimated to be 300,000. | to say nothing of the endless litiga- tion which will accrue from the loss of the county records. It is the inteution of the commis- sioners at Rich Hill to uniform the police officers of that city. Itsa good move and ought to be adopted in every town in the State. It gives the town an air of police regulation and authority and would create a favorable impression on strangers visiting the city When we geta policeman it would pay the town to adopt similar regulations. From F. M. Fort, who called Sat- urday to renew his subscription, we learn that Judge C D. Cole, who spent the past three months at Clinton, being treated and oper- ated on for cancer, has returned home greatly improved and is able to walk about. The operation was avery severe one, but the cancer was removed ard hopes are enter- tained that the judge may be fully relieved and permanently cured.

The town of Pleasant Hill has a bonded debt of $44,090, is paying 6 per cent interest. That isa pretty heavy load for a town the size of Pleasant Hill to “tote,” and is a bid to persons seeking a home to pass on. Free of debt, good schools, churches and progressive citizens is the bid that never fails to catch the ear of the stranger seeking a location. ‘lhe new officials at Rich Hill are timming salaries. The city clerk is reduced to $200 a year, street com- missioner $1.50 per day when he works, city police $42.50 per month and merchants police to $1 per month. The Butler council might economize in several ways if it would make the attempt. For in- stance. have one meeting of the coun- cil a month. Our esteemed friend, Carter Wal- lace,purchased a choice 80 acre traet of land of Pierce Hackett, which equares up his land and gives him one of the best farms in Bates coun ty. Mr. Wallace is one of Bates county's farmers that you will never hear bowling calamity. He always raises enough to supply his wants and bas a few car loads to sell. A sick staid at the Union depot Kansas City Monday night. Tuesday morning he called on the city physician and an examination revealed a case of small pox For self-protection,which is the first law of nature, it would be well for the authorities of this town to give the. tramp element who contemplate vis- isting Butler. orders to move on as they touch the corporation line. Mrs. McCuan died Monday at the family residence on Mill street. She was only sick a short time and her death was caused from blood poi- son. The family have only resided in this city a short time, eoming to town from the country. She wasa mest estimable lady and leaves quite a large family. most of the children taken te Dayton for interment, after a short service at the house. George and Overton Park and Hiram Bigelow, of Henry county, charged with criminal assault, are held at Clinton in bond to await the action of the next grand jury. | Afour room house, the property of Isaac Webb in the east part of town, burned to the ground Friday night about 11 o’clock. The dwelling caught fire from the kitchen flue, and Mr. Webb and family were aroused from slumber by the smoke and crackling of flames. When awakened the tire was under good headway and only a few articles of household furniture was saved from a couple of rooms. The long run to be made after the alarm was given made it impossible for the fire com- pany to be of service in saving the house. The company made a good run however, and were throwing water before the house was entirely consumed. Mr. Webb had an insur- ance of $125 on the house and $50 on contents,which was lucky for him as he is @ poor man and illy able to stand the loss. Up to date Hume is put down as the banner echool district in con- tributions for the confederate home, and all honor is due the goood peo- ple of that community for the inter- est shown in the matter and the lib- eral collection, $21.40. Three cheers and a tiger ought to be sent up for Hume and her liberal hearted citi- zens by the dependent veterans at the home. Capt. H. P. Nickell’s district in Homer, also did well con- sidering the number that attended the election. The captain sent his check for $5 with a couple of extra dollars taken up at the polls. The coliections from other districts are still coming in and so far something over $100 has been received by the county clerk. There are otber dis- tricts yet to be heard from and when all have responded. the county col- lection will be glven to the public by the clerk. Butler and Rich Hill ought to feel ashamed for the man- ner in which they have acted in the premises. Mr. Crawford informs us that he and Mr. Catron will yet make an effort to have this city re- apond tothe call. May their efforts aot be vain.
