Mr. and Mrs. Chambers are old settlers of Bates and have many friends here who wish them well. Sam E. Heinlein, secretary of the Midlayd Implement Company, at Kansas City sends us remittance for renewal reminding us that itis get- ting a letter from his old home and news of his old friends every week in the year. Mr. Heinlein and his estimable family were very popular in Butler. It is reported that O. D. Austin has received a letter from Senator War- ner conveying the information that he has or will endorse C. A. Chambers for Postmaster at Butler. The fol- lowing from the Record would seem to confirm this report: ‘Senator Warner has designated C. A. Cham- bers, to succeed Clark Wix as Post- The Ladies Wednesday Coterie Club held their annual banquet at the comimodious new home of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Allen, in. the north part-of i the city last week. These are always enjoyable occasions and looked for- member guests were Mrs. W. Graves, of Jefferson City, and r D. Kipp, of Kansas City. Harland Porter, wife and two young children, of Mulberry, were in Butler the last of the week and/| favored us with a call. As Rambler} Mr. Porter keeps the peuple of Mul-| berry and Western Bates informed of | the doings of their neighbors through The Times columns. W. C.

T. McFarland, C. R.-Home, Clark Wix and Frank T. Clay com- posed a committee of Elks to attend the funeral of H. B, Moody at Har- risonville last Friday. Mr. Moody was a member of Butler Lodge 958 in good standing. He was Vice-Presi- dent of the Morrison-Power Mercan- \tile Co., of Kansas City. Henry Tilson was up from his home in New Home township on Monday and favored us. Through him we learn of the death of George Rhodus, a former Bates county boy, son-in-law of Enos Vaugh, who died at his home in Enid, Oklahoma, about a month ago of pneumonia. He left a widow and four children. Uncle Abner Copeland met with an accident Tuesday that proved quite serious. In company with his wife and daughter and Miss Maud Baird, he was driving to Rich Hill. When near Bethel church one of the front wheels of the vehicle broke down, throwing them out. Uncle Abner struck on his head and shoulder and received painful bruises that will probably lay him up for a few days. Luckily none of the women folks were injured.—Metz Times. M. M. Walker, who recently pur- chased a farm in Homer township through Chas. R. Bowman, real estate agent, in company with Mr. Bowman, was in Butler Monday and favored The Times. Mr. Walker comes from the Kingdom of Callaway, is a genial gentleman and is wrong only in his politics, but in that respect there is hope, as he is a Roosevelt republi- can, an insurgent, if you please, and the light of hopef is burning brightly for him. He admits that his son is a good Democrat. Uncle Jake Gmelich means well, but he blundered sadly in rushing in- to print to assert that he really was elected to the place he holds. Uncle Jake was just counted in, that’s all; and counted in by as dirty a bit of politics as ever Missouri witnessed. The fact that he is a good-hearted old fellow doesn’t change history at all. We Democrats are too peaceful by far. We let. Republicans count in Rutherfraud Hayes as President; we let them count in Jake Gmelich as Lieutenant-Governor. But they can- not make us admit they were elect2d. —Clinton Democrat. One week we see a notice that the anti-saloon league will not make a fight for State-wide prohibition and the next week we see where they will. We are not caring a trans-con- tinental about it. The saloons don’t bother us and we don’t bother the saloons, but it would be well enough to have the question go before the people and let the people of the State decide whether they wanted the State wetordry. The dry people have a chance through the referendum to put it up to the people, and they should do it or forever hold their peace.— Rolla Sharpshooter. In commenting upon the various schemes and promotions of electric road on paper turoughout the coun- try, the Journal Democrat appears to have hit the nail on the head in the Brackney. Mrs. Scuyler Ison* and Tuesday at the home of Mr. and baby spent J. S. Ison. Mrs. Joe this week. Mrs. Mercy Deams spent Thursday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. All Car- roll.

Funer- al services were conducted from the Christian Church, Wednesday after- noon at 2:30 o’clock, by the pastor, Rev. Wm. Mayfield, and interment in Oak Hill cemetery. Stephen A. Douglass Walden was born in Perrysville, Kentucky, May 2nd, 1861. He came to Johnson county, Mo., with his parents, N. S. and P. C. Walden, in 1872, and to Bates county in 1878 and has made his home in Butler since 1880. He has been conducting a transfer busi- ness here for many years. He was married to Miss Anna Powell, daugh- ter of Judge Booker Powell in 1896. He leaves a widow and two children, a boy 9 years and a girl 6 years old, and numerous relatives and friends to mourn his early taking off. Doug. Walden was a good man, a loyal friend, devoted husband and indul- gent father. He was a member of the Christian Church, belonged to the American Yeomens and the Knights of Pythias, members of the latter order having charge of the funeral arrangements. A Jubilee and Rally Day. There will be a jubilee and rally day service at the M. E. Church, South, in Butler, on next Sunday, March 20th. It is the second quarter- ly meeting occasion for this confer- following: ‘It becomes more and more apparent every day that the proposed electric railroad is simply out bonus hunting. The promoters are sizing up each town within a rea- sonable radius of where they might survey a line, and are testing the relative ability of the various towns dig up cash. The towns which dig up the most cash will get the broadest smile from the promoters. Whether they will get a railroad re- mains to be determined by future Christian Church. — Bible School 9:90.
