L. Ives Appointed. On Monday last Governor Folk accepted the resignation of Miss Emma Cassity as County Superin- dent of public schools, to which she was elected this spring, and appoint- ed Professor A. L. Ives to fill out the unexpired term. Miss Cassity’s resig- nation was taken to Jefferson City andgiven to the governor by Wm. E Walton, who recommended Prof. Ives as her successor. Tue news of Miss Cassity’s resigna- tion was a great surprise to our peo ple, although it had been rumored for several days that she contem- plated such action. We learn froma reliable source that the step was taken without consultation with the Republican leaders, who do not dis- guise the fact that they are greatly chagrined over her action. No reason is assigned by Miss Cas- alty for her action, but 1t is rumored that she is shortly to be married, Prof. Ives’ appointment was the proper and logical one. He was the Democratic nominee, is a practical echool man of ability and experience and will conscientiously devote his time and attention to the faithful performance of the duties of the of- fice. ‘‘All’s well that ends well,” Joseph Groves, an old and highly esteemed citizen of West Boone township, spent several days in Butler virlting the family of his son Joe Groves.

Judge J. Z. Graves, of Sprague, ex- Presiding Judge of the county court, was a pleasant visitor at Tue Times office, while in the city on Saturday. Time rests but lightly upon the broad shoulders of this rngged old man, whose indomitable energy and strong will power have been his characteristics throughout his long and useful life. Reckoning by years, he is on the shady side of life, but he is still young in feeling and thought, true to his ideals, loyal to his friends, firm {n his convictions, he is frank and manly in all things, he does not hesitate to hold and express opinions on all subjects.

Irvin was arrested within five minutes after his return home. He was afterwards identified by the War- rensburg liveryman and also by a Holden horse buyer to whom he tried tosell the animal on his way to Inde. pendence.
