As Mrs. Carrie Nation was enroute for St. Louis Thursday night she stopped off at Nevada, says the Ne- vada Mail, and marched straightway fora saloon. Her attention was soon attracted to a splendid picture of a nude woman. The old lady per- suaded the saloon keeper to take it down and put up a picture of herself instead. Why is it that good people never think of praying for rain until toward theend ofa drought? If they had uplifted their orisons at the begin- ning of the present one the fruit crop and hay crop might have yielded abundantly. Still as the poet says: “Tis better to have prayed at last than never to have prayed at all..’"—Kansas City Times. Miss Maud Donovan, Mass., is the guest of Mrs. N. B. Me- Farland. Miss Donovan is a highly accomplished and charming young lady. She will complete her educa- tion in one of Boston’s best schools this year. Sheis an elocutionist of rare merit and her many friends ex- pect her to make her mark in that field and in literature. The city council has ordered the waterworks company to establish four drinking fountains for the ac- ecommodation of the public. The franchise calls for four drinking foun- | tains for man and beast, but the for- mer has only partially been complied with. The drinking fountains for man were put on the horse trough where they only remained a short time. Uncle Billy Griggs, away out in California, sends us remittance through Aaron Bell, who favored us pleasantly. Uncle Billy has evidently fallen in love with California. We had no idea he could stay away from Bates county as long as he has, still we have been hearing of the good | loeking women out there and know- ing the old man’s failings we are not very much surprised.

NOT DEFINITELY LOCATED Further Than Cole Camp---If a Line Through Bates County, Butler Will Be Given a Hearing. Mayor Duvall recently wrote to Hon.

Duvauu, Butler, Mo., Dear Sir:—L have yours of June 22d in regard to the extension of the St. Louis, Kansas City & Colorado Railroad through Bates county. At present writing 1 am not war- ranted in indicating definitely the proposed route of the "St. Louis Line” after passing Cole Camp. _ If, however, it should be decided to our interest to take up the question of a line through Bates county, we shall take advantage of your kind offer and the liberty of communicating again with you. Thanking you for your interest, I am Yours respectfully, GEO ZLANDs, Vice-Pres. and Gen’l Manager. Our advice to those who buy flour is to buy enough now to last until Dec. Ist, as the mills will have to grind new wheat soon, and new wheat will not make good flour. We claim that White Loaf flour is the best flour sold in this state, and the only flour that is given Ibs free of charge in order to prove our guar- antee. Ask about it. J8u's C. G. & M. M. Missouri Farmer Strikes Oil. ElDorado Springs, Mo.. July 6.— Yesterday afternoon Amos Mathews, | who lives two miles southeast of this town, while digging a well for stock water, came near striking a gusher. He dug a hele less than six feet in the dry dirt and stone, and this morning he found the hole filled with what he supposed to be water, but when he offered it to thecattle it was so strongly mixed with oil they re- fused to drink it. General excitement is created and many went out this morning to in- vestigate. They gathered up fraz- | ments of stone from the blasting and set fire to them, and they burned like } resin chips. 3 Buy 500 Ibs White Loaf flour at Jme's C.G. & MM.

White, son of Andrew D White, | United States ambassador to Ger-| many, committed suicide at 5:30 o’clock this afternoon, at his home in this city. Prolonged ill health and a persistent and exhausting ner- | vous disease is given as the only possible explanation of his act. Serious Scrap at Metz. A serious assault is reported from | Metz. Ben Paxton; a farmer, well | up in years, while sitting on a hay rake or cultivator, was struck on the head with a piece of scantling by a young man named Alva Jobnson Wednesday evening and knocked senseless. The trouble arose over some chick- ens which Paxton is accused of killing because they were perpetually for- | aging on his premises. Dr. Allen went out yesterday and found that Paxton’s skull wascrush- , ed. He performed the act of trephin- ing—removed the broken bones and inserted a silver plate. At 4 o'clock last evening the injured man was! still unconscious. Johnson skipped out after the as- sault.—R.ch Hill Review.

The Review copied an item from a Central Missouri paper a few days ago which claimed for Missouri the distinction of honors over Kentu on account of blue grass in that se tion four feet in height. But South- west Missouri can beat this. “Squire Frakes, of the Carbon Center neigh- borhood, seeing the aforesaid item in the Review, this afternoon brought to this office a sample of blue grass pulled from his field which measures four and one-half feet strong from top of roots to tip, and says if any- one beats this. he'll come again.— Rich Hill Review. Two gentlemen, Mr. Sculley’sagents in Nebraska and Kansas, were visit- ing Major Crowell this spring, and while driving through the country asked the Major what kind of grain it was growing by the road side. The Major told them it was blue grass, they laughed at him but got out to examine and became convinced. They dug up a bunch tocarry back | to their homes, saying no one would believe them if they told they had | }seen blue grass of that height. It measured five feet from top of roots to tip of head.

The dear people are talking about the rural mail Some are pleased. Others think it hard that around Virginia the people have to be disjointed from Butler.

We New York Tribune that the rural mail destroyed an old time eustom of the farmers seeing each read honored other once a week at the postoftice | and piles and having a friendly talk. It is said | that Virginia could have had the route, but talk about the | good old ways of our forefathers.
