City of Mexico, June 13.—It is an- nounced that a new volcano has broken out about two-thirds of a mile from Tehuantepec.

Silver men are occasionally alluded to in the republican councils as “calamity howlers.” Well, let it go at that.

New Orleans, La., June 11 —Ad- jutant General Morgan, by direction of General John B. Gordon, com- manding the United Confederate Veterans, issued an order announc- ing that 1,000 camps have been reg- istered inthe United Confederate Veteran association, with application, for over 100 more. He urges these Conferate soldiers and sailors who have not joined the Confederate brotherhood to at once organize and apply by letter or wire to the headquarters at New Orleans for proper papers, so as to be repre- sented at the Nashville reunion and assist in devising means to help their more needy comrades and the widows and orphans of those comrades who have preceded them into eternity. BIG FIRE. The Big Livery Barn Occupied by Geo. L. Smith Burned. Since the organization of the But- ler fire department the first real test of the ability of the company to han- die a real big fire was afforded Mon- day at noon in the burning of the big livery barn occupied by Geo. L. Smith, on Ohio street, some three blocks distant from the headquarters of the fire department. The barn was 100 feet long and about 60 feet wide. The mow contained 7 or 8 tonsof hay. The fire originated in the hay in the front of the barn and in less than five minutes the entire loft was a seething burning mars The hands about the barn in their efforts to save the horses and vehicles had no time to spare in giving the alarm and by the time the big beli called the department together the fire had eatea its way through the roof and the flames were leaping at least 50 feet in the air the entire length of the building. From the size of the structure and being filled to the roof with inflam able material and the close proxim- ity to several handsome residences the fire bid fair to be the most disas- trous blaze Butler had witnessed in several years. This disaster to the city was enly averted by the promptness of the fire department and the ability with which they handled the fire. Parties who timed the company claimed that in three minutes from the first tap of the fire bell the ccm- pany had three streams of water playing on the fire and in forty min- utes the fire was cut. Straage to say that with the eight tons of hay a seething furnace, the fire was held in the loft and part of the roof was saved. The sides of the huge building, stalls and parti- tions on-the ground flour were not scorched. A couple of traveling men present at the fire said they had never wit- nessed more satisfactory work by a city fire department. Dr. Everingham owned the barn, but owing to the high rate only car. tied $500 insurance. The livery outfit was the property of Geo. L. Smith. He carried $1,000 insurance. His heaviest loss will be feed stuff. The horses, vehicles and most of the harness were gotten out. Two or three fine sleigha in the loft were burned. Mr. Smith has rented the Elkhorn baras, formerly the property of C. B. Lewis, and will continue in the business. It is not known how the fire orig inated.

Oce of the most interesting, im- portant and warmly contested cases ever tried in Bates county was tried lin the Probate court the latter part of last week, beginning upon Thurs- day and ending Saturday night just before midnight. C. P. Coleman, for many years a citizen of the vicinity of Johnstown, was the subject of all this legeal contest. It appears that for several years past, Mr. Coleman, who isa man of advanced yeurs, bas been | boarding around among his different relatives, in this state and in Texas, spending the summer here and the winters in Texas. The old gentle- | man owns 260 acres of fine land in | Bates, near Johnstown, and in addi- tion has some considerable personal |property, aggregating in all some ten thousand dollars. In April 1896, he returned from Texas, and tock up his residence with his nephew, S. L. Coleman,where he remained until Nov. 4th, when, after voting for Bryan, the old man moved to the home of Lafayette Coleman, another nephew, who lives just across the line in Henry county. The old gentleman tock a fancy to a little son of Lafayette Coleman, and concluded that he wanted to adopt the childas his heir, and in this matter had attorney W. W. Graves of this city to draw ths deed of adoption, and on March 17th he executed the deed and placed it on record. Immediately afterward Judge John M Coleman, who is also a nephew, in behalf of a number of the Bates county relatives, filed an information with Judge Dalton, Judge of Probate Court, charging that C. P. Coleman was of unsound mind and incapable of attending to bis own business affairs. The rela- tives above mentioned retained T. J. Smith snd Jno. S. Franeisco as counsel, and Graves & Clark. of this city and C. C. Dickinson of Clin ton, were retained by C. P. Cole- man. Counsel for Coleman objected to the jurisdiction of the Probate Court of Bates County, and claimed, that the case should be tried, if at all, in the Probate Court of Henry County. Thies objection was everruled by $ The Bates Co, Elevator Compan AT THE SUTLER DEPOT. eCormi BINDER TWINE much inferior twine. ok Mover We handle the celebrated MecCormic, pure sisal Binder Twine, Every bail is guaranteed to run smooth and be free from knots, 30 ® pound of MeCormicks pure sisal twine will go as 60 pounds of the We carry the largest stock of repairs in the county.

Coleman made an effort to get a writ of probibition against Judge Dalton, both in Bates Circuit Court, and in Kansas City Court of Appeals, but failing in this, they were finally driven to trial before Judge Dalton and a jury upon last Thursday. There was a vast array of witnesses upon each side, some seventy in all, and every inch of the ground was ably contested by the counsel of the respective sides. Judge Dalton held court both night and day, and the evidence was finally concluded about six o'clock Saturday evening. After supper the case was argued by Messrs. Francisea and Smith upon the one side, and Messrs. Dickinson and Graves upon the other. The jury after being out some twenty minutes returned a finding to the effect that C. P. Coleman is of sound mind and capable of managing his business affairs. The marriage of Mr. Chester E. Lynn and Miss Bessie Tucker was solemnized at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Tucker, of this city, Rev. Caton, of the M. E. chureb,south,officiated. The wedding march was rendered by Mre. Arthur Wemott. The bride, a very attrac- tive young lady,nsver looked prettier than 0a this occasion. The parlor and dining room was beautifully decorated witb flowers. There were quite a numb-r of friends of the young couple present to witness the ceremony and extend congratula- tions and best wishes. The pres- ents were numerous and handsome A magnificent wedding supper was served. The following day the young couple were given a grand reception at the home of the groom’s mother in Summit township. The bride is one of Butler's most esti- mable and intelligent young ladies and the Times will say to Mr. Lynn that he has a jewel for a wife. The groom is a young farmer residing in Summit township. He is a manly young fellow and no doubt will be- come one of our leading farmera.
