From July 1 to January 1 the number of deeds filed with the recorder numbered 800, averaging a fraction over 133 deeds each month. “Fort Scott” says the Nevada Post “is to have good roads.

The first real snow storm of the season in this section arrived Satur- day covering the ground to a depth of about three inches. The frozen condition..of the ground and the thermometer hovering around zero made sleighing good Sunday. Our old friend, Squire J. W.

He is asubstantialcitizenand a creditable addition to our county. Prof. H. O. Maxey, our present efficient school commissioner, informs us that be will bea candidate before the Democratic - convention this spring for renomination. Prof. Maxey has made a most excellent official, has safeguarded the interests of the Bates county schools, and his renomination and election would be a deserved compliment. He has been retained as principal of the Amater- dam schools for eight years. We were complimented by a very pleasant call from W. M. Campbell, a prominent and influential citizen of Foster. Mr. Campbell has been a citizen of Bates county fifty two years, coming here when the county seat was located at Pappinville. He can tell some thrilling tales of pioneer life, and especially of his overland trips across the plains when all the supplies had to be freighted with ox teams, which was attended with grave danger from Indians. Attorney Thos. J, Smith left yes- terday for Kansas City to act as special commissioner by appointment “|! of the Supreme Court,of Missouri to take evidence in au important suit against the Missouri and Kansas Telephone Company. In the recog- nition of Mr. Smith’s legal ability to look after this matter, a case involv- ing probably over a half million dol- lars, the Supreme Court pays him a very high and merited compliment. Miss Lula Goodrich, member of the “Breezy Time” company, returning to the hotel after the performance at the opera house Saturday night, was taken suddenly sick on the street on the south side of square, and fell to the pavement in a faint. She was picked up by members of the troupe and carried to her hotel, when a physician was called, and she was soon restored and was able to jour- ney next morning with thecompany. Down at Nevada Saturday they are having a coal famine. The Mailsaye: “The coal famine continues witha slight hope of relief, and it is feared that much suffering ‘will be the result. The coal dealers are keeping the tele- graph and telephone wires hot, but so far they have been unable to re- ceiveany coal. The dealers have had orders in for days besides the con- tracts for coal that has not been fill- ed. They are doing all they can and are now try’ yng, to get coal from — Rich Hill and Pittsburg, Kan. Elder E. H. Williamson, pastor of the Christian church at Clinten,-is spending this week in Butler. Hear- rived in the city Saturday and preached at the Christian church Sunday morning and night. Hewas liked so well he was prevailed on to remain during the week and hold ser- vices each night. Elder Williamson, isa young man of ability, prepos- sessing appearance and attractive manners, and as this church is in need of a pastor, we doubt if the membership could do better than to Ice harvest began in Kansas City Tuesday. The ice is eight inches thick and of fine quality, says the Star. M. H. Fox began harvesting ice off .|thelake Tuesday. He has a large jhouse on the bank of the lake which | he will fill. Mrs. Thos.

When the coal barons and rail- roads collect from the people what they lost in the great anthracite strike in Pennsylvania, the blockade will be opened and coal famine will subscide. Acoal famine exists at our neigh boring town, Nevada, Saturday the electric street cars were stopped, and fifty are street lights were turned off for want of fuel and will remain so until a supply of coal is received, Swift & Co., packers of Kansas City, are eupplying their 2,500 4 ployees with coal at cost. J. Rich, manager, said it was the com- pany’s purpose to see that their em- ployees do not suffer for want of fuel this winter. The funeral of A. W. Jones, who died at his home aboué two and one- half miles south of town, took place from the Catholic church, this city, Tuesday-at-noon, Death was due to pneumonia.

It is al- leged that Pittman shot and killed Miss Anna McMahon, in Springfield, December 7th. The tragédy occurred at thé woman’s room, and there were no witnesses. She was shot between the shoulder blades and Pittman was shot in the right temple. He claims that the woman did theshoot- ing, but the doctors testified that this would have been a physical im- possibility. A Missouri paper tells of a man named Jones, a newcomer, having deposited $100 in the pastor’ssalary box one Sunday recently. The pas- tor asked why he had been so gener- pers ym he said thaghe had just en- business in “town and that ea to help aloug the cause. Then the preacher announced that he would surely patronize Mr. Jones and asked all the congregation who would do likewise to stand up.. The whole congregation rose and the preacher then asked Mr. Jones what his‘ business was and he replied “I am a saloon keeper.” —Ex. Butler, although located in the center of the greatest coal field in the state, is in the throes of a famine. The coal dealers ran out of a supply several days ago, and for the past three days not a 1_of coal was on sale at the yards. The dealers have exerted themselves to secure fuel from Rich Hill, Foster and Wor- land, but are unable to get a pound ofcoal. The situation in this town is getting to be serious, and if relief from the present condition of affairs is not soon relieved, suffering will be the’ result. There appears to be no scarcity of coal or reasonable ex. cuse for this state of affairs in this place, as train load after train load ofcoal passes through this city daily.
