P. J. Cowgill, a prominent young farmer living east of Adrian, was a pleasant caller and favored us. He is deeply interested in road work and has some good ideas along that line: He believes the roads should be graded up first and then kept in con- dition with the drag. Geo.

Our young friend C, A. McComb, of Shawnee, was a pleasant caller on Saturday and favord us substantial. ly. Mr. McComb thinks with a fair season from now on the farmers of Bates county will raise a good corn crop, not as much as if the spring had been seasonable, but enough to coupling or uncoupling cars and just how the accident happened no one appears to know, as there was no eye witness, but the supposition is he was caught between the bumpers. The body was placed on the cars, brought to Butler and taken to the undertaking roome of the Butler Cash Department Store and prepar- ed for presentation to his family by Undertaker Culver.

The shops of the M. K. & T. rail- road at Sedalia bas been shut down, throwing 300 men out of employ- ment.

The men refused to work and Superitendent O’Hera or- dered the shops closed for an_indefi- nite period. A severe hail storm visited Pettis county Sunday. In the path of the storm it is reported vegetation of all kinds and young orchards were bad- ly damaged, Many of the hailstones, it is said, were as large as door knobs. One of them picked up meas- ured six and three-quarter inches in circumference. A bowl of them gath- ered at the Marshall farm, southeast of Sedalia, looked like a nest ofchina eggs. Mrs. B. Milliken was a pleasant caller on Saturday and favored us with a renewal. Mrs. Milliken is one of Bates county’s best posted ladies. She has traveled extensively, and talke entertainingly. She was born in England, lived in Australia, where her husband was a gold miner; they traveled in most of the counties of theeastern hemisphere before coming to America. They have lived in Bates county for the past twenty years. then & mere miss, and appears but little more to-day, says the Review, | though she has been at her post in| one of the busiest departments of this busy store almost every working day | for 23 years.

Under the division of money Kansas, with ten members of congress, receives $19,947,70; Missouri, with eighteen members, gets $35,905,86, and Nebraska, with eight members, gets $15, 958.16. Harry Templer was killed at his home in Adrian by lightning on Sun- day evening. He was leaning agaiust a large‘elm tree in the barn lot watch- ing his father milk when lightning struck the tree and he was instantly killed. The cow was knocked down by the shock and fell on the old gen- tleman without doing serious dam- age. Harry Templer had been mar- ried only about three months, his wife being @ daughter of Charley Garri- son. He was an exemplary young man and had many friends, who grieve with the young wife and aged parents. County Clerk John Herrell says the elm tree *tood just across the street from his old home and he witnessed the striking of the tree by lightning one Sunday afternoon dur- ing astorm. He said lightning had struck the same tree a number of in the county, Many farmers claim that it will be a record breaker, We are heartily in favor of a good sewer system for Butler. The town has grown to the importance where she demands them, and especially is this the case for tue business around the square and the public buildings. Wheat harvest will begin in about two weeks. ‘The acreage is not large in this county andthe yield will be about three-iourths of a crop. ‘The oats crop, owing to the wet weather aud late planting, will be light, not more than half a crop. Sam Mitchell, one of the leaders in the mob that recentiy !ynched a negro av Joplin, a few mouths ago, has been convicted of murder in the second de- gree and sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years. It is a just verdict and will, no doubt, exert aninfluence that will go far toward destroying the crime of mob law, which is rarely, if ever, justifiable. Ex circuit clerk John P. Thurman dropped in on his Butler friends on Sunday. He is looking well, happy and prosperous. His home is at Walters, where he recently sold his claim for $10,000 and reserved his house and lot. He spends about one-third of his time at Lawton, where he maintains an oftice and enjoys a lucrative law practice. Al- though prospering, John says with the same prospects he would much prefer to live in old Bates. His wife, who has been with relatives and friends south of the river fur some time, is now visiting in Barton county.
