In the circuit clerk’s office Saturday several bricks fell from the partition wall appar- ently without the slightest provoca- tion The walls in the treasurer's Office are also in a bad condition the cracks extending from the floor to the ceiling. In short the walls of the entire building are giviag way and the structure is getting in bad shape. It is evident Bates county will have to have a new court house in a very short time or move the records to safer quarters. Capt. A. V. Adams of this city was appointed First Lieutenant and Bat- tallion Adjutant, second regiment. This is an honor worthily bestowed. A.V. Adams is one of the best young men in Bates county, a schol arand a gentleman, and is well posted in military tactics. The Journal joins his many friends in extending congratulations and best wishes upon his appointment.— Adrian Jouraal Lieutenant Adams is the son of | our highly esteemed citiz-ns Wiley Adams, and can be reckoned a But- | ler boy. The dispatches say as harvest time appreaches the prospects for an unparalleled crop of wheat in Kansas are becoming more convincing. In Barton county there are 228,000 acres of wheat and the vield it is said will be 500 bushels for every map, woman, and child in the coun- ty. The estimated yield of the state is put at 100,000,000. Harvest hands are eaid to be scarce and the farmers are makicg preparations to do their harvesting with machinery and tbresh from the headers direct. Cutting will begia in about fourteen days The city of Butler ought to bay a} rock crusher and macadamize the strects.
