The Kansas senate, on the 14h, killed the female suffrage bill by a vote of 26 to 6. The house passed the bill under pressure ofa lobby of women, and under the same pressure the senate committee had recomend ed its paseage. It was rather in the nature of a comic valentine the Senators were handing the woman of Kansas. It it be insisted that men wil! gamble anyway, and that the state may as well profit by their lust for the game, it could with equal force be argued that men will kill, and therefore the state should license inurder in certain forms and in certain places so as te profit by the weukness of mankiad.—From Gov.

New Idea paper pat Hills Cash brace, ey 10 We call attention to the announce- ment of W. 0. Radford, candidate fot constable of Mt. Pleasant town- ship. Mr. Radford is now filling out the unexpired term of Jas, Angle, resigned, by appointment of the township board, and is making an efficient and popular officer. He is thoroxghly qualified for the office, is accomodating and agreeable, but tirm in the discharge of his dutics, He has been a hard working and consistent Democrat all his life and is deserving of party recognition.

William Earsom principal of | the Foster echools, came over Satur |day to visit friends and was unable to return to his post the first of the week on account of the blockade on the Inter-State. Dixie L. Haggard informs us that he expects his distinguished kins man, H. Rider Haggard, the noted English novelist, to pay him a visit on his contemplated trip to this country thissummer. Butler would be delighted to honor so ditinguished an author. Arland Wimsatt, brother of Judge L. D. Wimsatt, died at his home in Adrian, Sunday February 12th. He had been ill several weeks with spinal meningitis, He was in his 48th year, was a highly respected citizen and popular among his neighbors. He leaves a wife and one child. Mrs. G. I.,Lynch and Mrs. Ed Clark for some time have been giv- ing dancing leasons to a large class of young boys and girls. Saturday afternoon they treated the dancing club and a number of invited guests to a dance at the Armory Hall. The children had a delightful time and in dancing and action ehowed the reeult of their splendid training. Music was furnished by the colored mando- lin club, Substantial and delicious refreshments wore served to the healthy youngsters, Mrs. G. W. Newberry will entertain the dancing club next Saturday afternoon at a masquerade party at the Armory. The burning of a large barn on T. J. Smith’s farm ten wiles southeast of Butler, on Thuraday evening last de- troyed, besides the building, 19 head of cows, about 15 tons of hay, har- ness, farm implements, ete. G. W. Smith lived on the place. One of his sons,in the excitement, rushed out to the fire without stopping to put on his shoes and his feet were badly frozen. The cause of the fire is not known, There was some insurance but not enough to cover the loss. The horses that were in the barn were fortunately liberated. Ed. S. Childs is serving his first term of two years as collector of Mt. Pleasant township and has made as efficient an officer as the township ever had. He is making a close col- lection, And is so courteous and con- siderate in his treatment of all who have business with his office, that he is deservedly*very popular with all. It has been the custom to give a sec- ond term to two year officers in the county and many think the same rule should apply in the tewnship. Ed came of good old Democratic stock and has been an active and in- fluential member of that party from his majority. The Moberly Democrat in discuss- ing the road fund and road work in Randolph county, very correctly says: “It is time to stop wasting money on temporary roads. The work should begin at some central point or points in the county and widen out. The county wouldina few years have several miles of good road that would be an inspiration toward devising means to secure additicnal money to supplement this fund. Permanent rood building can not be commenced too soon.” This advice 18 as good for Bates county agit is for Randolph. The sooner permanent road work ia started the better. Enough money has been squadered on temporary work. The people of Butler always ex- pect a rare musical treat when the Butler Band favors them with a concert and they are never die. appointed. This excellent band gave one of its delightful concerts at she Opera house on last Friday night. A fair sized audience greeted the boys and were highly entertained by them throughout the evening. On Tuesday evening the band play- ed at the Ohio atreet M. E. Church for sweet charity’s sake. A splendid program was rendered to a packed house, and the proceeds, a substan- tial sum, was turned over to thelocal aid society. William J. Graves, committeeman for Walnut, certainly ‘deserves a medal. He was one of the few from the south side who braved the Mariae des Cygne floods last summer to attend the county convention. Last Mouday while the mercury was play- ing hide and seek with the zero point and the trains on the Inter-State were all snow bound, Bill procurred a tie-pass over that road and hoofed it into Butler, bearing his township delegation.

Without cause or reason he took out his dirk knife and cut more or less seriously five men, all of whom were strangers to him. The men assaulted were Henry Wrigt, Otto Witt, Fred Spiesback, James Childress and Policeman Ox- ley. Officer Nichols knocked him down with a revolver and dragged him off to jail.

It has just become public that ‘Uncle Billie” gave his sou an agreeable surprise New Year's morning when he placed $1,000 check under his son’s plate. That was a pretty palatable dish to say the least.—Nevada Mail. Our old friend T. Hulen received the sad notice of the death of his brother TLos. A Hulen, at Lathrop, Mo., last week. He was stricken with paralysis while returning from his barn to the house and lived only ashort time. Mr. T. Hulen is the last of nine brothers, and he {s now seventy four years of age. Thos. A. was the youngest and his sudden death was a great shock to Mr. Hul- en. It will be remembered that Mr. Hulen had a son killed in a street car wreck in Kansas City about a year ago. Review: John A. Parker, who has been a citizen of Rich Hilla long time, died at his home in this city between 1 and 2 o’clock this morn- ing. Mr. Parker was a carpenter by trade and a good one.

Wright, one of the most successful farmers in thiscommunity, has adopted @ novel method to pro- tect the lambs of his flock during this cold weather. He puta Wilson heater in his sheep shed and built a wire fence around it so that the lambs would not get burned. In the atove he keeps a fire going day and night. The lambs nestle close to the stove and keep warm. To a reporter he said that his lambe are growing as fast as they do in warm weather and he has lost none on account of the cold weather. This is a good scheme and should be adopted by those who are engag- ed in raising sheep. If the per cent of loss to the crop of lambs, by reason of inclement weather, can be reduced in this way it will greatly increase the net profits of the sheep | Talsing business.—Adrian Journal.
