It Friday night fire broke~out in the} residence of Horace P. Edwards, three miles northwest of Adrian, and but for its timelf discovery would soon have consumed the building and contents. The fire originated from the explosion of a lamp, Which was supposed to have been put out before the family went upstairs to bed.—Adrian Journal. W. M. Hardinger, who was in But- ler Monday, in speaking of the high prices of hogs, said that hogs sold on the Kansas City market on February 17th 1908 at $4.20 and on February 17, 1910, for $9.20, just $5 advance in |two years. Mr. Hardinger says there are very few hogs in the country and many farmers had to buy their hogs for meat at the advanced prices. Cornelius Roach, Secretary of State, has beat the record in collecting cor- poration taxes. The receipts of his office have jumped from $142,151.05 in 1908 to $395,584.85 or an increase $153,433.80. The figures for 1908 in- clude the receipts from banks and Trust Companies, while the figures for 1909 do not. The Chicago and G. |W. railroad paid a tax of only $61.50 in 1908 and in 1909 paid $2,436.50. Mrs. Anna Mathers, of Adrian, gave an ‘announcement party last week in honor of the approaching marriage of her daughter, Miss Lucia, to Wilbur Welton, of Mitchell, South Dakota. The date of the wedding is fixed for March 16th 1910. The pros- pective groom is a Butler boy, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. 0. Welton, and is very popular with tis associates in this city. Willie Whinery was kicked in the stomach by a horse Monday night near the Darr home while on his way home from a box supper at the Grand View school. He was,render- ed unconscious and lay in the road until morning when he was found by friends and taken to his home, where he was given. proper medical atten- tion. His injuries are not serious and at last reports he was slowly re- covering.—Amoret Post. Warnock Bros. Of this city, recent- ly purchased of D. A. Atchison, of Deep Water township, his noted sad- die stallion Artist Blackburn, No. 2598. This is one of the best stal- lions in his class in the county. He was sired by Artist Montrose, who won sweepstakes at the Chicago | World’s Fair in 1897. His dam sired by the fancy bred Joe Blackburn, No. 993. gaited, and the Warnock Bros. are to be congratulated on his acquisition. : Hon, John B. Smith, of Livingston, Montana, came into Butler on Tues- day to visit his old friends for a few | | Robert L. Braden returned from Chicago Saturday night, where he had been since the first of February, visiting his sister, Mrs. M. A. Leech, widow of the late Dr. M. S. Leech, who has been in very bad health since the death of her husband. Mr. Braden said he left her able to sit up, and much improved. Many of the old settlers remember Mrs. Leech. Rube Oglesby, a member of the State Board of Rail Road and Ware- house Commissioners, attended: a meeting of the Butler Commercial Club at the court house last Thurs- day evening. He promised that the Commissioners would take up with the proper rail road officials the question of necessary improvements at the Butler depot. If Mr, Oglesby and his conferres can cajole or com- pel the rail road company to build a new depot here he and they would gain the lasting obligations of our peo- ple. Warsaw Times: Judge C. A. Den- ton was a pleasant caller at this office Saturday afternoon. The Judge stat- ed that the people should realize that asummons to appear before grand jury must be obeyed and that many did not appreciate the seriousness of perjury before the same jury. A Mr. Morrison was fined fifty dollars for failing to appear before grand jury and who evaded an attachment. Several witnesses before the jury made themselves liable to perjury and Judge Denton is after these. Re- fusing to answer questions and lying are two things the judge is putting to a stop. The following complimentary no- tice of Walter Lynch, son of Major Geo. I. Lynch, who is attending Miss Georgia Brown's dramatic school in Kansas City, appeared in the K. C. Journal: “In “My Lord in Livery,” the open- ing piece, Edwin DeCoursey, as an old butler, won applause for his’ im- personation, Walter Lynch, as the young lord masquerading in livery, proved a favorite, giving an excellent rendition. As Opkins, the cockney footman, F.,Carter Stevens was good. The women in the cast, the Misses Welch, Heppelin and Harrold, were equal to the requirements and created laughter in their scene with the sup- posed burglar.

The weather is still like winter.- Dr. Maxey is very busy waiting on the sick in this community, as there are a good many cases of grip and measles. W. L. Jackson is reported as im- proving very slowly. Frank Sickman was in this commu- nity one day last week buying up Some shoats, which he intends to feed. Lee Radford and Ed. Spears hauled corn to Butler one day last week for Wm. Spears. John Allison moved his family from near Rockville to one of Joe Wilson's farms in Henry county. James Cameron is anticipating leaving soon for Colorado. Archie Shillinger was the guest of his brother, W. O. Shillinger, two days last week. The Sunday School in Johnstown atthe M. E. Church was not very largely attended on account of meas- les. Mrs. Lum Green, of Leemore, California, came in one day last week to see her father, W. L. Jackson, who | has been sick for some time. Mrs. Martin Esenborth, who fell and hurt herself some time ago, is re- ported as getting along nicely. RUTH. | How Others View It. A person alighting from the night trains at our county seat during the dark of the moon at first thought is \fearful that he has been put off at some lonely water tank out on the prairie. If the porter hadn't called “Butler” a few nights ago, we would have felt sure that we had been put off at some water tank station ina cornfield. After wading around in the mud, and dodging a freight train, and straddling a few posts, we finally stumbled onto the sidewalk leading to the court house. Butler is one of the nicest and prettiest county seat towns in Missouri, but you neVer would know it if you got in on a night train, The next time we go we shall take our “hay burner.’’-Hume Telephone.
