The Butler Weekly Times y of each week. D. ALLEN, Editor and I Entered at of Butler, Mo., as econd—<lses ni GROWING PATHETICALLY OLD. The editor of the Record {s sure| growing old, as no editor with the} proper amount of red corpuscles coursing through his vetns would) have dared print.the following com- mente, which appeared tn his paper following his return from the state capitol. Aside from his criticlem on the girls, however, Bro. Austin appears to be hitting mighty close to the mark: “There was not much doing in the House, nor has there been since the convening of the Legislature, and the same can be sald of the Senate. The floor of the House was crowded with members and clerks, and in some parte with the smoke of Pipes and Cigars that persons could not be ree- ognized across the hall. The Senate was the same but in a@ less degree, because there are less of them. There are many women clerke, quite ordt- nary {n looks, but no less efficent on shat account. There are doubtless} many handsome women on the cler- {eal force, bu’ they were not visible And this was about all there was to be seen that day. Our opinion ts shat the Legislature falle far short of what was expected of {¢ when it assembled. It has done mighty lit tle for the good of the State.” Norman BE. Mack, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, will shortly {ssue a National Monthly Magazine, in the {nterest of the Dem- ocratic party. The things the party has been short on for some time ts) first, metropolitan papers and sec- onda representative {n the magazine field. The National Monthly will treat upon subjects and methods of party organization and upbutlding, will contain communications from she best known and most prominent writers in the country, a review of reviews from the Democratic press and will also make a high class fam- ‘ly magazine. The first tseue will appear about May 1, 1909. On May Sth the constitutional mit to the legislature which permits members to draw five dollars per diem, expires, After that the legisla. tors pay will be one dollar per day. As in the past is may reasonably be expected that there will be a great scampering among the members, as they will suddenly discover that very important business calls them home, So far mighty-litsle has been accom- plished, but {¢ {s the opinion of a great many mighty good citizens that if the appropriation bill was passed, and the legislature would adjourn the State would not be the sufferer. O. D. Austin, editor of the Bates County Record, was {nterviewed by the Post, while in Jefferson City last week, and announced himeelf in fa- vor of building the new capitol build- ing. A few years ago when the same question was agitated, Mr. Austin made # statement through the Rec- ord, in substance, that while the state was badly {fn need of a new capitol building, he would never sup- port the proposition so long as the concerned. money was to be spent by a Demo- | operating here fs composed of home cratic administration. Now tf Demo-| people.

Congressman DeArmond gave out 1 interview in Washington City on Monday in which he denied that he| had been instrumental in securing} Capt. Tygard’s pardon. Mr. DeAr- mond sald: “A report has been circulated gen- erally in Missourt that I appealed to the President in Tygard’s behalf. This report {s incorrect. I was not consulted regarding the application for pardon. Had I been, I should have opposed {s, I knew nothing about sach an application until | read in the newspapers that the pardon had been granted.” Tue Tues received the following telegram on Tuesday: “Washington, D, C., 419 '09.— Had no connection with Tygard pardon, Always against pardoning him. Please print. D. A. DeARMonp.” Meeting Marmaduke Camp, Butler, Mo., April 17sh, 1909.— Marmaduke Camp 615 U.C. V. met in the county clerk’s office this even- ing. Rreport of she treasurer show- ed that twenty-five had pald their annual dues. F. C. Smith read an article on the war in Missouri in 1861 and she surrender of Col, Mullt- gan at Lexington, Mo. A special meeting was called for Saturday, April 24, to make collections from those who are in arrears and tomake arrangements for the General En campment at Memphis in May. A gavel for the commander was present to the camp by Seth E. Cope, of the 7th United States Infantry, which was highly appreciated by the camp and extend thanks for the same. J.R. Forp, Com.

Dredge Boat Grounded in Osage The big dredge boat which has been working on the east end of Bates county’s canal, and which completed its contract some two weeke ago, entered the waters of the Osage river a few days since, and 1s now on its way to Ill{nols to con- tinue in the same line of work as en- gaged In here, says the Review. Only afew miles had been gone alter entering the river when the big boat grounded ona sand bar, and stuck fast. Fortunately there was three feet raise {n the river soon aft- er, which floated the boat again and took it and its crew to Warsaw There {t was met by & gasoline tug, which will convey the dredge to its destination entirly by water, aelug the Osage, Missour!, Misstssipp! and Illinois rivers. Not Playing Out. The Review vehemently denies the report that the “coal fields of Rich Hill have played out.”’ It says in part: “The fact of the master {s, the outputs is nos eo great as in former years when from 200 to 300 freight cars were loaded each day. No coal field would be able to keep up this kind of @ record for all time to come. But there are great quantities yet unmined and there {s no one, not even the operators themeelves, who has the foresight to name the time when the end will come. The coal industry here {s{n better condition than ever before, so far as the benefit derived by Rich Hill is Every company now Fire Imperils Warrensburg.
