BUTLER WEEKLY TIMES. | Itis the opinion of the European - pressand largely of our own that 3. D, ALLEN, Eprror. President Roosevelt, by his hasty action in ordering war ships to the }- D. Attzn & Co., Proprietors. Turkish coast, without waiting to verily the news of the killing of a United States consul, has placed himeelf before the world in a ridicu- lous position. The consul was not killed, nor was he even wounded. It appears he was shot at by a fanatic or anarchist while passing along the streets, without harm to himeelf. Our people expect the president to uphold the dignity of the country and protect the lives and liberties of our citizens against the world, but @ man who occupies that high posi- tion should be free from jingoism. He slould be well-balanced and con- servative, and when a position is taken there should be no backdown. Hasty action is always illadvised. a TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: The Weexty Times, published eyery Thonday, will be sent to any address me year, postage paid, for $1.00.

ANew York pastor inveighs against theso-called smart set declar- ing their lives are a personal degra dation to themeel ves. —_——_—__—— Judge Timonds, provisional judge ol the Cole county, Missouri, circuit court, overrules the motion in arrest of judgment in the case of Senator . Sullivan, who was convicted of solic- iting a bribe. Sullivan has appealed. oe Afreight train ran away down a -movntain, dashed through Maniton andinto Colorado springs at the rate of 100 miles an hour; and fin- ally was wrecked in railroad yards at Colorado Springs. It is indeed surprising how many| tion and ulceration of the prominent boodiers become very sick as the day of their trial ap- proaches. There was John Alum Lee; he became very sick every time he was wanted before the grand jury, and several times he suffered a com- plete collapse. And now Senator Farris, the young man with an iron nerve, who always had an eye on the main chance in boodling, was to be tried at Jefferson City on Monday, but suddenly became too sick for his appearance in court. Farris has che reputation of being one of the worst and most successful boodlers who ever engaged in that line of business, For some weeks he has put on a bold front and declared he would be in fine trim when his time for trial ar- rived. But greatly to the surprise of his friends he has collapsed, as if struck in the region of the solar plexis. Even Farris, the chiefamong the Senatorial boodlers, is cowardly in the extreme when his day for trial arrives.—Henry Co.

ABOUT THE CON- FEDERATE HOME. Dr. W. W. Macfarlane, Physi- cian to the Home, Writes Concerning It. Dr. W. W. Macfarlane, a well-ktiovn physician, who recently assumed the duties of physician to the ex-Confed- erate home at Higginsville, in a let- ter to the Mexico Intelligencer pre- sents the following interesting facts: “The farm consists of 360 acres in excellent cultivation and produces well. The crops this year have been abundant. Wheat, corn and oats enough to sustain the inmates, offi cers and hired help have been raised. The gardens are in excellent shape and all the fresh vegetables that are needful for the institution are plen- tiful. Smali fruits, such asstrawber- ries, raspberries, blackberries, etc., were raised in sufficient quantities for all requirements, The orchard, which consists of peaches, plums and apples, did fairly well. The buildings consist of two large brick structurer, well ventilated and steam heated. In these two large buildings are well appointed kitchens and dining rooms keptin order by hired help and cooks of experience and ability. The furni- ture is first class, There is @ well- furuished parlor, library, office, reception rooms, etc, in the main building. A large number of daily dnd weekly papers and current mag- azines are received at the home. There are fourteen cottages for men with families. These are all occupied at present. There is a neat little church in which services are conduct- ed by some one of the pastors of the several churches of Higginsville ev- ery Sunday afternoon. There is a herd of good cattle on the farm, also horses and implements sufficient for the working of it. During the winter large quantities of ice are stored and the home is bountifully supplied dur- ing these hot months with ice. The health of the men is all that could be expected.” Colonel James L. Pace is superin- tendent of the Home, which is « guarantee to the people of Missouri that it will be conducted properly and the surroundings made as com- fortable and agreeable for the old soldier, who is compelled to go there, as possible. Turks Kill 1,000 Bulgarians. Salonica, Aug. 30.—The Bulgarian insurgents sustained a severe reverse at Smilovo Friday, 1,000 of them being killed. The inaurgente to the number of 3,000 occupied a position The on a height, which was stormed by ot six battalions of Turkish troops commanded by Servet Pasha, After losing 1,000 of their number the Bulgarians fled in the face: of heavy Tarkish artillery fire. The Turkish H. Rubey Ogelsby of Warrensburg, the brakeman who wasinjured on the Mo. Pac, Ry., the reversal of whose damage case by the Supreme Court called forth the severe criticisim by Shepherd, who was later fined for con- tempt by the Court, is a full fledged candidateforratl road commissioner. We are in receipt of hiscard and letter announcing hiscandidacy. Capt. W. Bronaugh, of Henry county is alsoa candidate for that office, Thesplendid race he made before the last conven- tion and the large personal acquaint ance he has over thestate, makes Lim a very formidable candidate this time. Trouble For Magelssen. In escaping from an assassin’s bullet Vice-Consul Magelssen in Beirut has been guilty of a gross ingrati- tude to the administration. Seldom has such an opportunity to bring on a war been presented, and in not taking advantage of it, \ agelssen’ has meade a diplomatic blunder that will doubtless cost bim his-job. A representative of this nation who ts so lost to all sense of our national glory as to basely avoid allowing himself to be assassinated, is un- worthy of the position he holds. The administration is justly in- censed. It had just given a prodig- ious war-whoop and begun to whet upite trusty snickersnee preparatory to annihilating the Turk, when the sad news came that Magelssen was still alive. The disappointment of the administration was too deep for words. It retired to the beach and chewed up a bushel of oyster shells before it grew ca'm again. An example will probably be made of Magelssen, and it is hoped that other diplomatic representatives will take warning. If they have the op portunity to get themselves assassi- nated, let them not fail in theirduty. —Post- Dispatch. oe Fulton is again agitated over the question of the hitch racks around theequare. The Telegram discusses the feasibility of the city buying a lot and erecting sheds, with stalls, for the accommodation of teams. ‘Butler people feel different about ‘tbat. The court house yard belongs to the people of Bates county and if they want to hitch their teams tothe rack around the yard, we have no objections, in fact, we feel a pride in seeing the racks crowded nearly every day and on Saturdays and Mon- days the late arrivals compelled to seek outside hitching places. It Yooks like business, some mighty good teams are shown that would do credit to any country and Butler hasn’t anything too good for the Sarmers, —_—_—_—— \ School opens next Monday. This information is not calculated to fire the youthful heart with exhuberance of joy. In fact the average boy Jooks at this matter just a little bit different from his fond parents, who sways feel a great relief that the children are taken off the streets and put to work. The boy feels that it is nothing less than a conspiracy hatch- Tow Striks at the Terminal Monopoly. Jefferson City, Mo., Aug. 31.—At- torney-General Crow struck his first blow at the so-called terminal mo- noply, whieh, it is claimed, is throt- tling the commerce of St. Louis, by instituting before the Missouri su- preme court quo warranto proceed: ings to annual the charters of theSt Louis Terminal Railroad associa. tion. The petition is of a sweeping char- acter and charges in effect that the railroads centering at St. Louis have formed a conspiracy to control the arteries of trade throughout the Mississippi valley. The aggregate wealth of the railroad companies composing the so-called terminal combine and holding therein joint proprietary interest is computed at $300,000,000. ers, whereby his personal liberty is abridged, aud it is with a rebellious dispositions he takes up his school work, It requires considerable tact, lorbearanee and patienteffort on the part of the teacher to convince the young hopeful that it is for his good and not somebody else’s benefit he should study hard to learn, A right beginning in the establishing of coi- fidence and respect between the pupil apd the teacher and much of the trouble throughout the year is avoid- s ad. aE ‘In speaking of the action of Judge Graves in post poning the Farris and Smith cases the Osceola Democrat vaye: “At the present writing we do not know how this action of Judge A3caves will be received by the repub- { 4ran press, and it is not at all im- ‘pertant what view the Globe Demo- gmat may entertain concerning the aur.

North Side Square, Butler, Mo. ee Ae A x AX Xe have struck reefs, it is alleged, which did not appear in the firstfair weath- er days of their calling, and the pre- diction was freely made here to-day that a number of these companies will be financially wrecked as a result of the changes which have followed government and the Indian rights association. Their losses are now ertimated at not less than half a million dollars, An individual {n- 000. These are companies condemn ed by S.N. Brosius of the Indian number of federal officials are stock- holders, Th echeme of the companies has been to secure five-year lessees from the Ludiuns at ridiculously low fig- ures, making a small cash payment, and inducing the Indians, in their ignorance, to obligate themselves by contract to buy the improvements on the land at the end of the lease. The Indians, invariably improvi- dent, will not be able to do this, and, in debt to the land companies, can be forced to sell outright at the land shark’s prices. The newspaper publicity following the investigations recently set onfoot has served to warn the Indians and it is now almost impossible for the land sharks to secure leases. In the early rush for leases thecom: panies were not careful in ascertain ing whether an Indian had leased his allotment more that once. An In- dian usually received an honorarium of $25 or $50 for executing a lease, and an unscrupulous Indian could make money by leasing his allotment en gr gu gr gr i i rr i ir ir iri ed ee ee ee Se Ae in dn a tad ne ee ee a ee ee ee his allotment seventeen times. The OPO ODE AM bids Companies never tecovered theis mon- ey in such cases Flood Worst Ever Known. Washington, August 31.—Dr. Frankenfield of the United States weather bureau has completed and sent to the printer an exhaustive re- port on the floods of the Missouri and Kaw rivers. The report is the most .comprehensive thing of the kind ever attempted by the govern- ment. Dr. Frankenfield’s report will show that the epring floods of 1903 in the Missouri and Kaw rivers and upper Mississippi were the most destructive in the history of the country and were the greatest in volume of water, with the exception of that of 1844, The report shows that the total loss from the flood was, in round numbers, $40,000,000. Thisis pased upon actual investigation. The loss in the vicinity of Topeka, Des Moines AB y Wh8S a z iy crops, railroads, bridges and tocom- mercial interests. A loss of $11,- 500,000 was sustained between Han- nibal and St. Louis on the Missis- sippi and between Alton and Kansas City on the Missouri. The loss in the immediate vicinity of Kansas City was $15,500,000. Usually the agricultural interests suffer most from floods, but Dr. Frankenfield re- marks that the high water this year distributed its ravages with rare im- Sam Cook’s Daughter to Wed.
