Mr. Eggleson isa practi- cal farmer and owns one of the best, improved farms in the county. He and his brother, E E. Eggleson, re- cently sold a tract of 120 acres for $40.00 per acre. This land cost them $14 00 an acre about 15 years ago. Two young Germans were traveling through the country ina wagon and became greatly impress- ed with Butler and Bates county, {purchesed this land and located thereon. * F. M. Curry, the agent at the Paci- fic'station in this clty;-was relieved here and went to Butler to take charge of that station. Mr. Curry’s place here was supplied by W. H. Fennell, of St. Louis, Mr. Curry takes charge of the station at Butler fa the absence of the regular agent, E. C. Vandervoort, who will leavefor Colorado this week. Mra Vander- voort is in very poor health, and they will remain in the Culorado cll- mate for at least three months and possibly a longer time.—Cass Co. Democrat. J. M. Burns, President of the First National Bank, of Appleton City, ts practicing the true philanthropy. In response to his expressed wish to give some walf an outing, the super- intendent of The Mercy Hospital of Kansas City, sent little Mary McCor- mic, who is only five years old and a cripple, being compelled to carry a crutch. This summer will be long re- membered by the child. Heart-felt kindnesses of this kind are the things that make the whole world kin and make donations for public libraries look mighty cheap {n comparison. “General” Hadley, n0+ having been able to break into print for several daye, began fretting and frothing at the mouth again during the week, and comes out with an interview with himeelf {n another attack upon the railroads. He claima the rall- roads are giving passes in violation of the statutes, and {n order to give the 2-centrate lawa fair trial he says that all passes must be called in and canceled. Just where he will next break out {s known only to himself, but the perlodical outbreaks can be expected to continue until he has gotten ——— for some office andis beaten forty or filty thousand votes.—Boonville Adver- tiser. We were both surprised and de- lighted Saturday evening by a visit from our old friend and co-worker of the years long gone, J. Richard Davis, of Kansas City. He had been spending a few days at the bedside of his brother, W. H. Davis, near Windsor, and was making brief vis- its to his younger brother, Chas. W., north of town, and slater, Mra. C. C. Bronaugh. “Dick,” your visit to us wastar tco brief; yet it did us a world of good, for e’en then our mind wandered back to the haleyon days ofyouth. Come again, and we'll mix the past and present.—Calhoun Clarion. The above refers to J. R. Davis, who was foreman of Tue TiMEs office for 23 years. Another Old Citizen Gone. Jos. Littlefield, one of Bates coun- ty’s oldest and most highly respect- | edcitizens, is gone to his reward. He|’ departed this life at 8:55 o’clock last night, at his home near Foster, aged 84 years and 11 months. Deceased had been a resident of Bates county for a great many years, and was well known throughout the western portion of the county. His death was due to a complication of diseases. He leaves his aged wife, three sons. and five daughters to mourn for him.—Rich Hill Review. J. J. Messinger, Hume’s pioneer merchant, is making preparations to retire from a business life. He ex- pects to have his business closed up by the middle of August. Mr. Mes- singer came to Hume in 1880, built the first residence there and opened the second store. The Hume Tele phone says: ‘“Twenty-seven years of successful mercantile pursuit in one place is pretty good evidence of his honesty and integrity. Zara Raybourn, superintendent of the mess hall at the Penitentiary, spent several days with friends in Butler the first of the week. Mr. Ray- bourn was apfointed to this position by Col. Pace ‘and has held {t under each succeeding warden since, or about 14 years. Mr. Raybourn in- formed us that Matt. Ha!l is making good as warden, and predicts that when his term expires his adminis- tration will compare favorably with any man who ever held the place.

After enumerating the places Mr, Harriman could visit and telling just how farhe could ride without getting out of one of his own carriers, an ex- change asks what the government is golngtodoabout{t. What onearth should be done? No one will deny that Mr. Harriman should be punish- ed for his violations of the law, but hasn’t a man the right to own as much property, railroads or other- wise, that his industry and ingenuity can acquire for him? There’s one set of grafters that we hope some duy to see the city coun- cils in this part of the state, tax out of business. We refer to that bunch of cheeky, cigarette smoking young heats who make their way from town to town swapping the confiding house-wives hot alr and cruel cari- catures, satirically called “enlarged” photographs, for the good hard coin of the realm. Their trailis marked usually by a string of unpaid board bills, at the boarding houses and hotels, and & sertes of ghastly libels upon the helpless and unoffending dead, upon the walls: of private houses.
