The mercury ran down to 18 degrees above zero, wind to the north and cloudy, but as the old adage says she may go out gentle as a lamb, we hope such may prove true. We were in Butler last Monday, the | first time in six weeks, and met all of our old friends, wanting to know why we stayed away so long. The farmers are busy sowing oats. The soil isin excellent order and it seems to me the husbandman is tak- ‘ing more pains this season than here-} tofore. We hope God will bless us with a bountiful harvest. School, conducted by Miss Butler, closed last Friday with a nice enter- tainment and a dinner. Johnnie Crin is going to erect an implement house for his own use. It would save money if every farmer could do the same. Uncle William Walls is able to be out again. Wm Feebeck and brother are going to raise cattle and fine hogs and may raise a few sheep for the Chicago market. Col Wolfe expects to start for his home in the far west, where he will have lots of fun hunting bearand elk and eatch fine trout. We spent last Sunday at the home of Wm Crewes and met our brother, Geo Eichler, there, and was truly glad to see him out again. Oar old friend, Os Reeder, was inet on the highway the other eve. He is one of Bates’ old timers, a true dem- ocrat and a good farmer.

Wa. hiugion, D. C., March 7 — e2S LOOd its Hrst decisive step to war today. It placed itseit in an sttitude which shows that it will support the Presideot in the House decided on an emergency bill giving the executive $50,000,000 for use at his discretion. Secretary depart- meut in line by stating that an issue cf bonds would not be necessary to furnish this amount of money. He intimated that even more money eould ba used from the surplus which is now lying in the vaults at that department. Congress is fully awake to the For the first time since the commencement and Spain persons outside the Cabi net have been taken into the confi- deuce of the President. The gentle men so chosen were Senators Hale and Allison and Representatives Dingley, Cannon, Grosvenor and Boutelie. To these gentlemen the President frankly stated that he was preparing for war. He hoped to avert it but feared that it was im- poseible. He wanted Congress to share with him some of the respon- sibility. When the result of this conference was mude known in the House by the introduction of the Cannon bill, there was great excite ment. The bili instantly met with the approval of all parties, and it will be passed to morrow by practical unanimous vote. It will ba rushed to the Senate and in that body a similar course will be pursued. So eager is Congress to assure the President and the country, and the world in general, that it will stand for the United States at ali hazards, that it is probable that the bill will become a law before 4 o’clock in the evening. All Congressmen but a few think that war is inevitable. These few hold that the decided action takea to-day will have effect of frightening Spain. They think that that country will now appreciate what it means to go to war with the United States Hundreds of millions for defense can be had for the asking. Such is the sentiment in Congress. The stand taken by the President on the recall of General Lee and the send- ing of provisions to suffering Cubans in men of-war has aroused a senti ment which bodes ill to the country which would dare brave it. All will wait and are ready for the next step. Alaskan Hardships. Sedalia, Mo. March 4.—Sheriff J. C. Williams, of Sedalia, received a jletter to-day from his uacle, R.B | Williams, who with a party of Mis |}sourians, has reached Dyea on his way tothe Klondike gold fields The letter was written om February 15 and isatale of hardship.
