The business portion of Butler would certainly be benefitted by a similar move. Wooden awnings in front of store buildings never did improve | the appearance of town. George E. Nicholson, president of the Kansas Portland Cement Co., of lola, Kansas, has given $10,000 for the building of @ mission school in Manila. The donation will be under the management of the Methodist | Board of Foreign Missions, and will | be known as the Florence E. Nichol- son memorial school. Four men were dangerously wound ed in a race riot between whites and blacks at Lawrenceville, Lilinois, Sat- urday night. The riot was started overa negro man striking a white man. When the rioting ceased through thescattering of the negroes, four men were found badly wounded, and two may die. One negro was shot five times. The Butler boys played ball Sa‘ur- day. They were victorious in three match games with Amoret, Culver and Chapel. The 3rd team played Amoret, composed of boys from 12 to’l5 years, the score stood §'to 3. Two weeks ago these toys went over to Amoret and were defeated, so honors are even on that score, with the rubber to play. Judge Alexander, in the circuit court at Liberty last Saturday, dent- ed the motion of Mrs. Agnes Myers for a new trial and sentenced her to be hanged on Friday, August 1 ist, and then granted a stay of execution pending an appeal to the supreme court in November. Mrs. Myers was found guilty by a Clay county jury last week, as an accessory to the kill- ing of her husband, Clarence Myere, in Kansas City. Mise Kate Colyer resigned her posi- tion in the Miami, Florida, schools andreturned to Missourl. The Miami Metropolis says: “‘All of those re signing are considered among the best of Dade county teachers, espe- cially Miss Colyer, who the superin- tendent regards as without a peer in the state in primary. The loss of these ladies will be keenly felt by the publicand the school board, who will find their equals hard to produceand acquire.” BL DR TIE FA TB
