The Butler Weekly VOL. XXV. BUTLER, MISSOURI,’ THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1903. Kansas Cloudbursts. Salina, Kas., Aug. 2.—A cloud- burst which occurred between 1 and 2 o’clock this morning flooded the lowlands jand the valleys from a point near Linsborg northwest to Ellworth and for awhile to-day every- thing pointed to a repetition of the flood of last May. The valley north- west from Linsborgisall under water and at Carnerio, Brookville and Ba- varia the water was from one to two feet deeper than during the recent big flood. The last report received states that the water is faJling and that the danger in these vicinities i- probably past, unlees followed to- night by heavy raine. Twelve miles of the Union Pacific track weat of Brookville, which with- stood the flood in May, was swept off the roadbed. The Union Pacific passenger due here at midnight last night arrived at noon to-day, having come over the Missouri Pacific from Ellsworth. The train was caught at Arcola, east of Ellsworth, and for @ part of the way back to Ellsworth the passengers got out and assisted in the work of cribbing the track. The water was above the track and train crew was compelled to feel its way a portion of the trip. Ellsworth reports higher water than during the flood of last May. Brook- ville, fifteen miles west,and Bavaria, nine miles west of Salina, reported from a foot to eighteen inches higher water early this morning ‘han for yers, but it is rapidly falling and may disappear before morning. West from Bavaria is a sea of water aud much damage to crops may result, as consderable wheat in the shock is seen going down stream. The Men ia Gray. Columbia Herald. CLAY LEFT ROME TO UNITED STATES. —_— Will, Left in Custody of Dora Brock, ' Makes Whitehall a Public Park. Lexington. Ky., Aug. 3 —Dora Clay | Brock, the former youthful wife of @ the late Gen. Cassius M. Clay, will offer for probate at Richmond a pa- per that purports to be the last will of Gen. Clay, and which is dated March 28, 1901, a year after the testament that the children have al- ready offered to the court. ‘ Mrs. Brock says Gen. Clay gave 6 sealed envelope to her a few months ago with @ request that she should open it at his death and not before. Upon his death, she tore the sealand found that it contained a will in Gen. Clay’s own writing and sealed with his familiar signet ring. This will leaves Whitehall, with ite 860 acres, constituting, the willsays, the finest natural park on earth, to the federal government. Coal and agricultural lands, aggregating 660 acres, are to be worked for the repairs and maintenance of the park. The \ paintings of public interest shall re main on the walls of Whitehall. Dora Clay and two others whom sheshall name shall be executors and have control of the park as long as the federal government shall deem best for it. Ten thousand dollars’ worth of bonds shall be given to Dora Brock and emall sums to old employes. | Other gifts of money to Dora are also authorized and she is directed to take charge of his memoirs and other manuecripte, which will makeseveral } volumes, and give them to the Socie- } ty of American Authors for publica- tion, half of the proceeds to go to her ; and the other half to the society. At her death the income is to go to her ; two children, Cassius and Marceliue Brock. The will in the possession of the children leaves all to them. Nomen- fj tion of them is made in the docu- ment held by Dora Clay. tember 24, 25 and 26. Year by year these reunions are attended by fewer soldiers as the ranks of thesurvivors of the civil war are thinned by death. But interest in the reunions does not lesgen nor does the honor due the men in gray diminish. There is no braver, nobler figure in history than the Confederate soldier. He fought fora principle He strug- gled against overwhelmed numbers, against overpowering wealth. When overwhelmed by numbers and over- powered by the etrength of the op- posing forces he laid down his arms and took up the burden of the south’s restoration with quiet dignity uncomplainingly. No pension await- ed him. No grateful government gave him office or reward. No plau- dits were showered upon him by the people who believe that success is the only criterion of merit and that fail- ureis always crime. When he return: ed home after four years of battling against odds insuperable he found aliens in control of the communities where he had been supreme. He was called upon to transmute the cour- age of the battlefield into the cour- age of hemebuilding. How well he carried out the task the world knows. The New South is the result, an em- pire of free men, with all the virtues of the old years added tothestrength, self-reliance and commercial thrift of the new days The Confederate sol- dier builded a nation—not in the way he planned but upon more lasting lines. Boone county and Columbia are honored by the assemblage of the Missouri veterans here. Thiscounty sent ite full quoto and more to march under the Stars and Bars. They were brave, true men who served with “Old Pap” Price and Joe Shelby and Frank Cockrell and the other leaders of the Lost Cause. Some nevercame home again. Their bodies lie in the southern graves waiting the call of the Great Commander, Some are yet living in this county, worthy citi- zens of a hospitable community. These ex-Confederates and all men and women who honor courage and respect fidelity to principle will unite in giving generous greetiv~ *o the men of Missouri who wore the gray when they assemble for reunion in Columbia. \ Animal Husbandry. The University of Missouri next year will offer thorough courses in stock breeding and in the history and development of breeds of live stock. Good examples of the lead- ing breeds of live stock are maintain- ed for purposes of study. Experi- ments in feeding and breeding animals will be made. Much attention will be given to the judging of stock and the best types for various purposes will be pointed out. Veterinary sci- ence will be considered with special reference to the prevention of dis- eases and the hygenic treatment of farm animals. Emphasis will be placed upon the prevention and treatment of the important contagious diseases such as cholera, blackleg, glanders, tuberculosis, Texas fever, etc. Stu- dents will be also given an opportu- nity to perform simple surgical operations. This course is of the highest practical value to the boy who expects to deal in stock. y Shot Twice at Tramp in Jefferson City Court. Jefferson City, Mo., Aug. 3—A tramp, picked up by the police, was taken before Recorder John Somers Saturday to answer to a charge of having insulted two young ladies. Their brother, Tom Canty, appeared in police court and made a plea for the man, asking that he be not fined as he was intoxicated and knew not what he was doing. Canty sought to Induce Judge Somers to discharge the man, if he would leave the city, and just as the judge was about to comply with the request, Canty whipped out a big revolver and fired twice at the man for whom, only a few seconds before he was making an earnest plea for clemency. Such an occurrence is unparalleled in the municipal court here. The tramp was fined $1 and Canty $5. Canty is said to have stated he made his plea for the tramp hoping to have him excused, that he might shoot him after he left the court- room. The tramp paid his $1 fine and left the city. Filipinos Are Dangerous. Victoria, British Columbia, Aug. 3. —W. €. Deering, of Chicago, who ar- rived from the Orient by the steamer Taconia, in an interview given toa local paper says that although the people of the United States may not be aware of the fact the insurgents in the Philippine islands are organiz ing and drilling and the trouble there is far from over. He saye filibusters are continually Janding arms on the coasts and the patrol is looked upon as a farce. Schooners laden with contraband goods have no difficulty in “running their cargoes.” He also says that many deserters from the United States army and broken- down British and European soldiers are in the rebel service. Goes to Carrie Nation's Aid. Scranton, Pa., Aug. 3.—William Law, a wealthy coal operator, to- day engaged attorney to bring action against Mayor Connell and the city of Scranton for police interference with Carrie Nation when she attempt- ed to speak in Nay Aug park last week.

Use BUCKINGHAM'S DYE SARTO THE NEW POPE, Pius X, His Chosen Title. He Is 08 Years of Age and Was Creatrd aCardinal Only Ten Years Ago. Rome, Aug, 4.—Cardinal Guiseppe Sarto, patriarch of Venice, was chos- en pope this morning. He took the name Pius X. No announcement of the votes for the respective candidates has yet been given out. It is not even known positively who figured in the last bal- lots. It is understood that Sarto was chosen on the 7th ballot of the con- clave, the firat of to-day. Cardinal Sarto was generally re- garded as Pope Leo’s choice for the succession. Early in April the pope, in a conversation with Father Persci, the Italian composer, said in speak- ing of Cardinal Sarto: “Hold him very dear, Peroeci,as in the future he will be able to do much for you. We firmly believe he will be our succveseor.”’ The new pope was born at Riese, province of Venice, June 2, 1835, but he is a roubust man and carries his 68 years lightly. He studied at the college of Castelfranco and at the seminary of Padua, His first service was in the parish of Tombolo from which he was transfered to Salzona in 1867, His ability made him conspicious and the bishop appointed him canon of the cathedral at Treviso, Henext became bishop of Mantua, and ten years ago was made cardinal and patriarch of Venice. The patriarchate is an honary office in the Roman church: Only a few ex- ist and the title is bestowed as an honor slightly above that of an arch- bishop. Fight a Pitched Battle. Checotah, I. T., Aug. 2.—In a pitched battle between farmers and alleged horse thieves near Brush Hill, eight mile from here, yesterday, J. W.
