The Avtian Journal reports the death the 10th inst. of Moses Wine- land at his home, five miles south. east uf that city, from lung trouble. He was an old resident of thecounty Funeral was conducted by Adrian lodge, No. 13, 1.0 0. F. At Nevada the boys are arrested and fined for jumping on and off of trains. G. H. Esswine favored us substan- tially by having his dates set ahead on Saturday. Marshall Bros. & Bateman drilling ® well at Adrain struck three viens of gas in going down 250feet. They expect to sink the well toa depth of, 1,500 feet. The Review has declared war on the old shacks about Rich Hill. The Review is right in going after the di- lapidated buildings in that town and there ought to be no let up until they are burned or moved away. A new sh'ngle roof is to be put on the court house building at Nevada. A great county like Vernon ought to have a substantial public building and safe vaults for her records, There should be no disagreement among her people on that poi t. Rev. Jones recaived a telegram from Sheriden, Wyo., announcing tig death of Mra. Cordia Bets. Evers, which occuried at that place the last of the week, She was the daughter of A. L. Betz, formely of this city, now living in Texas, and was born and raised in this city. One more payment will wipe out the court house debt. The tax was 80 light the people hardly realized the extra burden on their tax re- ceipte, and we dare say there is nota man in the county but 1s truly thankful and proud that this hand- some and substantial publie building has been erected. J. W. Todd, a farmer residing near Centerview, Johngon county, lost his barn, two horses, a buggy, carriage, six sets of harness and a large lot of hay by fire the other night. The same night and at the same hour a barn on Mrs, McMillan’s farm about 8 mile distant from the Todd home also burned. It is thought both fires were the work of an incendiary. As M.H. Price and party were crossing the trucks at the depot with his engine and seperator, on Friday afternoon they were run into by the north bound local and the seperator was amashed all to pieces. It was piled up between the tracks and re- sembled a freight wreck. Looked like a mighty good opportunity for another damage suit. The paint shop of Ralph Hartwell, which stood on the southeast corner of the square and the only wooden building saved at the time of the fire on this corner, when three or four frame store buildings were burned, was moved away Monday. The re- moval of this littie shop takes off the square the last remembrance of the days of long ago. A protracted meeting is in progress at the Ohio street M. E church. The meeting is conducted by Rev. Thomp- son, of Appleton City, and the pastor Rev. Jones. Rev, Adams, pastor of the M. E. church, South, out of courtesy held no meeting at his church Sunday night-and requested his membership to attend the meet- ing at the Ohio street church. Twelve ladies of the Broadway Christian church at Sedalia ovt soliciting money the other day tack- eled Deacon C. B. Warren, a farmer, residing near Sedalia for a donation As a bluff, he offered to donate a wagon load of corn, provided the la- dies unaided would take a team, gather and sell it. They took him up and the ladies put on their hust- ing pegs, sun bonnets and went after it. The corn was sold at auction on the streets. Col. Geo. M. Casey, of Henry coun- ty, one of thé best known stock deal- ers and breeders of thoroughbred cattle in the state, has gone to the wall for nearly a million dollars. Besides his magnificent farm in Henry county, Mr. Casey was interested with Mr. Landes in ranches in the west, which were stocked with thousands of head of cattie. Mr. Casey has many friends in this county who will be sorry indeed to learn of his mis- fortune. The Baptist church building on Ohio street is undergoing needed re- pairs. It is being papered, repainted 808 | and then comes those splendid new seate the ladies worked so hard to obtain. If it wasn’t for the good women workers, we wonder what would become of some of the churches, They get up dinners, bazars, socials, ete., at great personal sacrifice and. hard work to keep the house of the Lord where they worship {i respect- able appearance. The Baptist con- gregation is holding {te services in| the court room, pending these im-' provements. We have never shown as large or nice @ line of rocking chairs as now Butler Cash Dep’t Store.

Miss Davenport, of Richards, met withandistressiug fate at her home about 10 o'clock Monday morving. The young woman is subject to fits, so the Mail is informed and this morning she was suddenly stricken falling upon a hot stove, her face be- ing nearly burned off, and her recov ery is extremely doubtful. She isa daughter of J. Y. Davenport, and is about 20 years of age.—Nevada Mail. Maj. Bradley and son Eugene were in town this afternoon from east of the river. ©. C MeGennis pulled our reporter off to one side and stated that the Major was cutting some new teeth and expected he was get ting ready to stump the county in the next campaign. Don’t’ know whether Mc was really telling the truth or just jollying. You never can tell about these Irish.—Rich Hill Review, We were complimented by a very pleasant call from A. C. Pees, of Mer win, Mo., on Saturday. Mr Pees had just returned from Kendall coun- ty, lils., where he had been to close up thesale of his farm in that county. He recently purchased considerable land near Merwin, among them being the J. H. Crawford place adjoining that town. Mr. Pees has great faith in the out come of this county, Chas. E.

Mr. Booi owns &@ fine farm in Illinois where he is now living, but expects ultimately to live on his farm in this county. The regular St. Louis Sunday mail which was due to arrive at Butler at about noon did not get here owing toa fire that occurred on the fast mail train of the Missouri Pacific near the town of Sherman. The car which caught fire was loaded with about 20 tons of mail, and when dis- covered, the train crew could du nothing, but cut it loose and let it burn. The car was loaded with sec- ond class mail matter consisting of Dewspapers, magazines and books, and all were burned, W. P. Sevier, of Summit township, accompanied by his brother-in-law, J. R.
