The Missouri river is on the rise and, owing to the heavy snow fail in the mountains the past winter, it is predicted the river will be higher this June than at any time since 1844, and it is anticipated much damage will be done by the overflow of the low lands. J. R. Herman, of Iowa, who is canvassing the state under the direc- tion of the Missouri Single Tax League was in Butler Saturday and presented the theory of the league to asmail audience from the band stand in the court house yard Satur day night. He was a right good talker. Attorney W. O. Jackson was down from Butler this morning looking after his clients, Messra Clifford and Mathews. Mr. Jackson informed our reporter that it was his opinion the cases of certain miners against the Rich Hill Coal Mining Co, for withholding certain monies by order of W. K. Royce would be settled without litigation. Many hope such will by the case.—Rich Hill Review. The United States experiment station situated at Columbia, Mo, has again begun the distribution of infected chinch bugs to the farmers.

Mrs. S. had her name enrolled on our books. Homer Battis, formely connected with the Walnut Coal Co., ef Foster, now representing the West India Manufacturing Co, of St. Louie, vis- ited Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Trimble the | first of the week. Our substantial and highly es- teemed farmer friend, J. 5. Brown, who owns a fine farm southeast of city, complimented us with a very pleasant call Tuesday and had his date set ahead. He is always a welcome caller. Dr. Christy is building a hand- town.

The fire works at night will be the greatest sight ever witnessed in the old town. Make your arrangements to come. J. L. Strode and J. B. Albin, prominent citizens ef northwest Bates, made us a pleasant call while inthe city Friday. They report the corn crop backward but lecking well, while the wheat crop is a fail- ure in their section, with good pros pects for chinch bugs. Mr. Strode is an eld citizen of the county and has been a friend and patron of the Tres for many years. W. C. Wintere and G. W. Rains, prominent farmers of Pleasant Gap, favored us with a pleasant call. They wish the story being eirculated to the effect that they, together with Mr. Nafus, were not assaulted and robbed while on their way home from the Rich Hill Circus, but that they received their injuries in a fight among themselves, branded as an un warranted falschood. That the reb- bery oecurred as was first reported. These are all reputable gentlemen and good friends and we are satisfied an injustice is done them by sucha report. At the meeting cf the Missouri Valley Horticultural society held at the Holsinger home, one mile west of Rosedale, Mo., Saturday, the an- nouncement was made by members of the society who had given the matter thorough investigation, that the apple crop of the United States would be very short this year, and not more than 20 per cent of what it should be. The greater part of the apple crop comes from western Missouri and eastern Kansas, and Secretary Holsinger, of the society who had received reports from all the fruit growers reported | that the trees would yield not more than 10 per cent of the normal pro. duction. Peaches are ruined in Missouri, and the cherry crop will not yield more than 10 per cent of nermal production. Pears will yield about 75 per cent. The reason given for the failure was that the severity of the weather last winter. while not affecting the bloom, had injured the buds to a great extent Dr. George W. Ely departed this life at his home in this city on last Wednesday evening, of Bright’s dis ease. He had been a sufferer fora long time, but bore up uncomplain- ingly and few realized his precarious condition. He wasa noted veteri- nary surgeon, devoted to his profes- sion. He was a gentleman of pleasing address, public spirited, quest of the farmers, sent oyer the country. The infected bugs are| turned loose in the fields that are} being destroyed by chinch bugs, | and rid them of the pest by giving | the healthy bugs the disease. i Judge James H. Lay, who owns | about 4,000 acres of the finest land in Benten county, has recently se-| cured the pictures, in crayon, of four | of the deceased circuit judges of this | circuit, viz: Waldo P. Johnson, B. | H. Emerson, Foster Wright and | Judge Ballow. These pictures are! life size and are in handsome gold | frames. Itis understeod they will | be plaeed in the circuit court room in Warsaw.—Sedalia Sentinel. Our old and friend J. L. Shaw, of Mingo, paid us 8 pleasant visit and renewed his al- legiance to the Trves two season Mr. Shaw has been/| threshing in Oklahoma, but it proved | alosing game and he thinks this! summeref taking his thresher to North Daketa. While in Oklahoma the public good, was a man of positive ideas and convictions and will be missed by the community. He was a staunch republican in peli- ties and was at one time chairman of the republican central committee of Bates county. He was the first fire chief of our city and assisted in putting the Butler Fire Department on its present efficient foeting. Dr. Ely was born at Washington was married at Beloit, Wis., to Miss Nettie J.
