Again the people of Butler were highly entertained by the closing high school. To witness this pleas- ing entertainment the opera house, as is usual on such occasions, was packed with our people to see and hear the graduates deliver their essays and orations. The class this year numbered twenty—fourteen young ladies and six young gentle men, and was the largest class in the history of the schools. The graduates acquitted them selves creditably and did honor to the school board and corps of effi cient teachers. The Times would be more than pleased had it the space to spare to give each of them a special personal mention, but as this is not practical, suffice it to say that the class of 1897 will compare favorably with its predecessors. The Fisk-Atlen orchestra furnish ed the music fer the occasion, which was extra good and highly appre- ciated. Dr. B E. Dawson delivered the invocation. Dr. Wm. Jones was selected to present the graduates with their diplomas, which he did in a most appropriate manner. this mortal coil the other day, because the damsel he loved to dis- traction refused to link fortunes for better or worse with him.

Mr. Lueking has bad eleven years experience in the boot and shoe business and was manager for several years of the boot and shoe firm of Kuesels, Seda- lia.

A little son of Geo. Brown, near Rich Hill, while playing io an out- house the other day, built a fire and came near being burned to death. The fire caught to some hay on the floor, and having shut the door the little fellow was not able to get out.

Notwithstanding the ominous clouds, peals of thunder and forked lightning which told of the ap proach of a heavy rain, our people braved all danger of getting a duck ing and packed the opera house Tuesday night to witness the com mencement exercises of Builer Acad emy. All were well paid for their slight incenvenience, as the general com ment is that the entertainment was one of the most pleasing ever held in the opera house. First on the program was the graduating exercises. The class was composed of seven young ladies and gentlemen as follows: Mary Requa, Homer Duvall, May Lutsenhizer, Emma and Irma Donovan, Ned Jackson and Fred Boxley. Miss Mary Requa was salutatorian and Fred Boxley valedictvrian. At the conclusion of the graduat- ing exercises which were of a high order, each acquitting themselves in & most satisfactory manner, the fun began in a poll drill, flag drill, Far- mers Autoharp club, and a military drill by Co.

McKibben returned Tues- day evening from Hutchison, Kan- sas, where he had been to learn the true facts of the failure of the Bank of Hutchinson, and also lend needed assistance, if necessary, to his gon in law, Sam’! F. Canterbury, president of the defunct bank. Mr. ben says the sensationul accounts of the failure of the bank published in the city papers were in a large meas- ure a stretch of the imagination, and were not warranted by the facts. There was no excitement, whatever, 5!in Hutehinson over the failure and 3|the only charge so far againet Mr. Canterbury, was that the bank had received deposits when it was known to bein a failing condition. The fellowing dispatck, which is taken 9)from the Kansas City Star, is about correct, said Mr. McKibben, as far 40] as he was able to get the facts: “Hutchinson, Kan., May 24 —The announcement of the consolidation in Kansas City of the Metropolitas National Bank ot Commerce was fo! lowod this afternoon by the arrest of President Sam’l F. Canterbury and Book-keeper Mantz of the Bank of Fe Hutchinson, which failed recently, charged with receiving money when The Met- ropolitan was a large stockholder avd principal unsecured creditor of | the Bank of Hutchison. President Canterbury came here a yearago with backing from the Metropolitan and attributes the fail- ure of his bank to the withholding of promised support bythe Metro- politan.” Mr. Canterbury was born and raised in this county. He was an exceptionally bright and industrious young man and his honor and in- tegrity was above reproach. On the organization of the Farmers Bank of this city, Mr. Canterbury was em- ployed as book-keeper and held that position in perfect confidence until ; be voluntarily resigned to accept a position as cachier of a new bank or- ganized at West Plains, Mo.
