Rad- ford, twoas brave ex confederates, loval and cleyer gentlemen as can be found in the state, were in the city Saturday attending the Marmaduke Camp meeting and made us a pleas- Tact call and renewed their subscrip- tions. They report the late corn in their section as badly damaged by the dry weather, but said those who got their corn planted early will raise a good crop. The Tres has no bet- ter or truer friends in the county than these gentlemen and none we appreciate more. Dr. J. N. Bricker, of Adriar, writes us that a man named Tom Spottswood did break jail at Sedalia about the year 1569. ‘That he was under indictment for murder. He was afterwards captured and acquit ted of the charge. If the prisoner Sheriff Mudd has is really Tom Spottswood he can answer the num ber of questions propounded by Dr Bricker, who knew the family well at Calhoun, in Henry county. We turned the letter over to Prosecuting Attorney Clark who will make good use of the information. Squire G. B. Parker of Summit township, has begun to cut his crop of 85 acres of broom corn. As a broom corn raiser Squire Parker is a suceess and his crop this season is of excellent quality. With no bad luck in gathering the corn and the price for straw remains at the pres- ent figure his crop will amount to a handsome sum of money. Broom corn yields about aton cf straw to the acre and a short time ago the straw was graded in the market at Of course, there is considerable labor and expense in taking care of a crop of broom corn. Not for many years has Osceela been so saddened as it was last Friday morning by tidings of the tragic death of James Elliott, which occurred the evening before.

Mr. Peeler is well and favorably known to the people of Bates county, having been befcre them several times as candidate for sheriff and each time came within only a féw | votes of the nomination, but each time like the loyal democrat he is he | turned in and helped roll up majori ties for his opponent and the whole and would successfully fill |eounty office to which he might | aspire.

Fred Cannoy, living in Summit township, had his horse and buggy stolen from the hitch rack in Butler Friday night. Saturday the horse was found loose near Chas. Burge’s in Pleasant Gap township. It ap- pears that A. G. Waine, who has been working as a farm hand for Mr. Harniss, came to Butler Friday and traded ponies with Dug Walden Monday Jesse Ward, of Garden City, Cass county, came to Batler and recognized the pony young was stolen from him in the early spring by Waine.

M. Christy cele- brated the opening of the new Lake and Park on their farm, south of Butler, on Monday evening witha moonlight picnic. The invited guests, bearing well filled baskets, assembled at this beautiful pleasure resort at 7 o'clock. Supper was served from long tables erected in the pavilion, and the spread resembled more the appearance of a wedding feast than a picnic dinner. It was indeed a merry crowd that assembled around that festal board with jest, laughter and Walden had traded for, as one which | good natured raillery. After supper the band discoursed sweet music from the permanent band stand erected on the shores of the lake. Boat-riding, rustic bridges, through en- chanted islands, with alcoves, ham- mocks and rustic seats, the whole lighted and beautified by many colored Chinese lanterns. Then the tables were cleared away and the pavilion was the scene of the ‘cake walk, the dreamy waltz and the intri- cacies of the two step and quadrille. Ab, bat it was fine that us old folks should defy time and age and fora few short hours forget our troubles and business cares in the pleasures of youth This is the loveliest private Lake and Park imaginable, covering sev- eral acres of ground, artistically laid off, planted with trees and shrubbery, rustic bridges reaching from shore to shore and to the well kept island, boat houses, pavilion, summer kitch- en, band stand, beautiful drives etc. Dr. Christy contemplates enlarging the lake and otherwise improving the grounds when it will be the prettiest private pleasure resort in the state.

Anotner Young Woman Burned to Death in Nevada Mrs. Hardin Parker, a young mar- ried woman of Nevada, was fright- fully burned on Friday at her home in that city, by the explosion of a gasoline stove, on which she was ironing. She suffered untold ago- nies from which death relieved her early Saturday morning. The Ne- vada Evening Post gives the follow- ing account of the accident: Mrs. Parker was busy ironing in the west room of the cottage about 9:15 yesterday evening. She was expecting her husband home shortly and she was rushing her work, sing- ing blithly as she ironed afresh shirt for him to wear. Suddenly the gas- oline in the tank of the stove she was using gave evidence of needing replenishing. Without stopping to extinguish the blazing burners, Mrs. Parker attempted to fili the tank. The result was too dreadful for description. In the twinkling of an eye the treacherous fluid exploded and the unfortunate woman was a pyramid of tlame. “Oh, mother!” was the agonizing ery that struck horror to the heart of ber mother in the next room, in- stantly succeeded by ecredm upon scream of inexpressible suffering. The mother who was in an adjoin- ing room and ran at once to her | daughter's assistance, had the pres: ence of mind to seize a bucket of water and throw the contents upon | her blazing clothing, partially ex- tinguished the flames but not the fire. The frantic mother then tore | away the remnant of clothing left, [herself being severely burned. {Every stitch of the unfortunate (daughter's clothing except her waist, was burned off her, and this the mother tore away in blazing fragments.
