Gordon, the great ex cofederate soldier, who surrendered with Lee, will be in Butler July 15th and in a lecture give you a bird's eye view of the last days of confederacy. Every soldier in the county and hundreds of others will want to hear this lecture. S. P. Evans, one of the Trues’ substantial subscribers and friends, of the Ballard neighborhood, called Monday and renewed for ‘96.

Holliday, chief of the letter force in the St. Joseph post office was arrested Sunday by gov ernment detectives for robbing let- ters. He confessed to the thefts and said he had been at the business since January, and he took the money to support an extravagant wife. His method was to steal letters containing money, take out half the contents, seal the envelope again and send it on to it’s destina- tion. He has secured several thous and dollars and the government has spent $3,000 in trying to capture him. At the Houston, Texas, gathering of ex-confederates last week, Gen Gordon was re elected commander- in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans to succeed himself. This distinguished citizen of Georgia, U. S. senator from his state, pelished orator, great soldier and statesman, will be in Butler, July 15th, to de- liyer his famous lecture the “Last Days of the Confederacy.” Of course everybody will want to hear him, and we doubt if Butler's commo- dious opera house will be sufficient to entertain the crowd that will come from far and near. A prize fight between Tommy Dixon and Oscar Gardner, feather weights, took place near Kansas City. Sunday. The contest lasted for thirty-six rounds and was a hard fight. In the twenty-sixth round Gardner broke both hands on the hard skull of Dixon, and the rounds that followed were mere past time for the winner. Such disgraceful amusement for toughs of the prize ring should not be permitted to take place on Missouri soil.

This is the last of a of a series of bitterly contested law suits between the two parties and, this together with the large number | of witnesses in attendance and the bitter feeling between the two part ies aroused considerable ieterest.

This sudden taking off of this aged and esteemed citizen is a fearful reminder of the uncertainty of this life and the importance of being prepared for eternity at all times. The sympathies of this community are with the bereaved in their sad affliction. Bandits. Guthrie, O.T, May 22.—At In- gram, on the border of the Kickapoo reservation, three masked men rode up to the postoffice, but while they were dismounting the postmaster and several Kickapoo settlers, who happened around. opened fire on them and drove them off.

Hamilton, the Noted Confidence Mar, Was the One Who Get His $8,500. Sedalia, Mo, May 25.—John T. Norris, the celebrated Springfield (O.) detective, was called yesterday to consult with S. H Taggart, the wealthy Johnson county farmer who was swindled out of $8,590 on Wed- nesday by two smooth strangers who played an old confidence game on him. One of the strangers bought a farm of Taggart, and induced him to draw $8,500 from the bank. The money was placed in a tin box and locked, the key and lock remaining in Taggart’s possession. The farmer, when he opened the box, founda block of wood. To-day the identity of the chief operator was fully estab- j lished. He was known in Sedalia as J. R. Hamilton, and is one of the |most noted confidence men in the United States, bis real name and photograph being in the rogues’ gallery of every Chief of Police in the United States. Hamilton's pal has not been identified, but is believ- ed to bea Chicago man. The two mer, after swindling Taggart, drove across the country to Waverly, Mo., where the team was left, they taking an east bound train. Yesterday Liveryman Hayes of Knobnoster, from whom the team was hired, re- ceiving a letter from the operators signed A. B. C, inclosing $20.
