Very Conservative. 4 Aft Y Si | os Many wonderful stories are being We're After You, Sir! Noted Young Butler Stallion}, omnis orm loka Missouri this year. Some of them are so large that they tax the credu- lity of the strictly conscientious in- dividual. We don’t think that fs right, and we wouldn’t magnify a story of that kind above {ts actual condition, for the world. J. G. Walk er has a piece of corn which he fintsh- ed planting on the 23rd of May, which certainly deserves speclal com- ment. The stalks are not twenty feet high—far be it from us to make euchaclaim, they won't average over 19% feet, but they make up in size and healthy color what they lack in height. The ears are not two feet Died on Track at Holden. ————— Echo, the noted young trotting stallion, owned by J. U. Clark, drop- ped dead va the Holden track last : en ina raceby Andy, his trainer.

The corn was drilled and the stalke are pretty thick, oneway. A man can get through by picking bis way and watching for the gaps. The ears will not average over two or three to a stalk, Some conservative people would estimate the probable yield at 100 bushels to the acre, but to be on the safe side we will put Itat 99%, conditioned of course, on the continued rains. Mr. Walker may object to our conservative estimates, but we would rather be right than be president. Sudden Death of Neal Holloway Neal Holloway died at his home in this city on Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, of locked bowels, alter two days of severe suffering. He was taken sick at the south side barber shop, where he was working, on Tues- day afternoon at 5 o'clock, and walk- ed to his home. A physician was called, and worked with him to the time of his death, but nothing could be done to relieve him. Funeral services were conducted Yes, and we're going to get it, too. HOW? With our handsome styles of high grade Fatal Accident Averted. Agent J. F. Geiger’s quick wit and presence of mind Sunday eventng prevented an accident that would have brought death sorrow, and sut- fering to many Butler homes.

The tender of thesignals atthe Butler depot, having received no orders to the contrary, made his lights show a clean track. The freight was rush- ing on without checking, when agent Geiger glanced at the signals and re- alizing the awful consequence of such a mistake, had the lights changed in time for the train men to take notice, Shoes, in Calf Skin, Patent Kid, Calf and Enamel Leather, Button, Lace or Blutcher Cuts, in all the latest lasts and patterns, elegant, faultlessly made Shoes, that would cost more money at most stores. $3.00, $3.50, $4.00 and $5.00.
