Chitwood, an old resident of Webb City, committed suicide on account of separation from his wife, Monday. He left a widow and three children. Instead of fear of prosecution, it should be a pleasure to our people to keep the grass and weeds well clipped in front of their property, and the shade trees trimmed. A. B.

He reported the farmers in his neighberhood well up with their harvesting, and the prospect for bulging corn cribs never brighter.

Mr. Moore's visit to our city was in the interests of the fair, which will be held at Rich Hill, beginning Aug. 29 and continuing four days. He said the association was well pleased with the favorable outlook thus far and with good weather they hoped to see the fair this year the most successful yet held. Several new features have been added, among which is a list of presents to be given by business firms to the holders of full tickets to the fair; special premiums for vege- tables, and on the fourth and last day a grand flower parade will take place. This feature added to the fair is entirely new and the last day promises to be the most interesting of the four. Butler will add her mite to make the fair a successful one this year. TWO STATES AT OUTS, Kansas and Missouri Ne Longer on Diplematic Terms- Topeka, Kas, Aug. 1.—Kansas and Missouri are no longer on diplo- matic terms. Governor Stanley re- turned to Topeka to day after a two week’s vacation, and his first act was to callin the newspaper reporters and denounce Gevernor Stephens of Missouri. Stanley declares that Stephens is guilty of a gross breach of faith in the Embree lynching inci- dent, and adds that hereafter the state of Kansas will have no official relations with the state of Missouri business and the meat combine has it all their own way. The following ladies have been elected delegates to the Eighth Dis- trict Convention of the W.

She has had a checkered caree and although raised in luxury died in poverty. | yesterday. while he is governor. To say that W. Eugene Stanley is angry at Governor Stephens is inad- equate. He is beside himself. He sputters and bristles and fumes. He refers to him as “that person,” and. vows he will never speak to him again. During the day Stanley talk- ed to nearly all the newspaper repre- sentatives and he said substantially the same thing to allof them. He said: NO MORE MISSOURI FOR STANLEY. “I have severed all official rela. tions with the geverner ef Missouri. I shall hereafter absolutely refuse to recogni#e that person in the mat- ter of honoring his requisitiens for Missouri criminals who come to this state. I had absolute assurance from Stephens, ina letter from him to Sheriff Gibson ef Howard Co, in person, who had talked to Stephens, that the negro Embree would not be harmed by a mob. I am through dealing with such officials. I shall try te get along without any further aid from that state, in the efficial channels, at least, as prescribed by the usual intercourse between the executive departments.

The Butler Col- lege will open en time Monday, Sept. 4, 1899, under the supervision of E. A. Ludwig. Under its present management the Butler College was an entire success last year and so far the prospects are flattering for the ceming year, in point of attendance. This college articulates in all courses with the State University, an essential point that should not be overlooked by those desiring a thor- ough education Another point, this college is right at your door, so that parents can see over and watch the advancements of their children, an advantage you could not have by sending your children away from home. This college is worthy and should have the patronage of Bates county. Remember the college opens Sept. 4th.

Senator Burrows Scents Danger te His Party In Philippine Issue, Change Must Be Made at Once—Anti-Im- perialism Becoming a Very Important Factor. Washington, D. C, July 31.— Senator Burrows of Michigan, in an interview with a Pest reporter this afternoen, said: “It is my opinion that if the war in the Philippines is still in progress next year, and the end is not then in sight, the situation will be to the disadvantage of the republican par. ty. The only -hope for the party, and the country, I might add, is in a | epeedy change of conditions in the Philippines. Unless the war in the Philippines epeedily ends, it will be- come an important political factor, and its continuance will make the outlook for republican success un- | certain, to say the least. “If I could bave had my way, we would simply have taken a coaling station ora base of supplies in the island of Luzen; we would not have paid a penny to Spain, aed we would have our foothold in the east without the eacrifice of life and money. I believe in finding new markets for our people—we are the greatest preducers the world bas knowna— and the orient doubtless offers usa great opportunity. “No one yet knows what possibili- ties are to be afforded hy Ohina, whieh seems to be staggering to her fall. If there is to be a great devel- opment in that direction, I certainly want the United States to have a share. At the same time we must not overlook the fact that we may run counter at any moment to Eng- land, France or Germany, and I believe that England, now apparently so friendly, will strike at us the | moment we cross her threshold. More than thie, I say frankly that if our participation in the eastern | trade is to be purchased at the cost of an indefinite war in the Philip- pines, we will pay a very large price fer what we receive.” Special Rates.
