This was good stock ank sold for less than their value, but the outlook for a crop caused Mr. Cobb to dispose of them. He alse has a lot of cattle and hogs, and had too much stock for the out- look of the crop. : DINAH. In andvAraund Maysburg.

A small shower of rain fell last Monday evening but not enough to do much good. It is getting pretty dry here, and unless it rains more soon the pastures will be beyond re- demption. Other crops though are fairly good and a good prospect for corn. Rev. Whitsett filled his regular appointment last Sunday. His theme was ‘‘The American Home,’’ which was certainly fine. T. L. Blankenbaker threshed wheat for George Ldtham last week. It averaged 28 bushels per acre. We are particularly interested in the above as it was raised on some of the overflow land on the Marias des Cygnes. Mrs. Jessie Stewart Hornburger, of Arkansas, but formerly of this place, died June 22 of lockjaw. Jessie was raised in this community and was well known here. Her many friends regret the loss and join with us in extending sympathy to the bereaved ones in this sad hour of affliction. Funeral services were held at the home ‘of her parents, C. F. Stewart and wife, by Rev. Rose of Butler. Interment was made in the Fairview cemetery. The people of this community were greatly shocked on last Friday when the news flew over the wires that George Requa had fallen from a hay wagon and was badly hurt, but on close examination it was found that his neck was broken and no doubt he was instantly killed. It is not neces- sary to make comment on his daily life as everybody knew him as he was born and raised here. It is truly sad to part with loved ones, but it seems extremely sad that death should come so suddenly and so un- expectedly that there can be no part- ing words nor can they tell us any- thing of their wishes. ; The family has the sympathy of this entire com- munity. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Whitsett of Butler at the residence, last Sunday at 2:30 p. m. Those from a distance who attended the funeral were Rev. W. L. Requa, of Liberal, Mo., Mrs. Annie Wilder and daughters, of Richards, Mrs. Alice Benedict, of Richards and Mr. and Mrs. Geo. DeWitt, of Parsons, Kan. PUSSY WILLOW. Elkhart. This is Sunday, June 25.

As the dinner hour arrived the table, tastily arranged under the large shade trees, certainly spoke of the love and admiration of relatives, friends and neighbors. The afternoon being spent with music and other social} pleasures, the time for thought that the day spent at the Wheat that has been threshed | - ing came} too soon but all departed with the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Huff- man and little daughters, Frances and Hazel, would be long remember- ed.

The first day of Butler’s first Chau- tauqua will be one of the best in point of excellence of talent. The opening number will be by the Hono- lulu students, six in number, and as the name implies, are natives of the Islands of the Hawaiian group. They were educated in the public schools and colleges located in Honolulu. Born in the land of tropical flowers, surrounded by the grandeur of the sea and mountains, do you wonder that these people have a love for the beautiful, both in art and music? Many of their schools make a special- ty of music and drawing. The com- pany was organized six years ago, its members being selected from the best vocal and instrumental artists of the Islands. Two years ago the com- pany was brought to America and ap- peared with great success in New York, Philadelphia and Boston and have since met with great success on the Lyceum and Chautauqua platform. The company will introduce vocal sextets, quintets, quartets, duets and solos. They have the following in- strumentation: Guitars, violins, flute and the nativeinstruments, ‘‘Ukulele’’ and “‘Taropatch.’’ Each member of the company isa finished artist and everyone should make arrangments to hear them. The second session on Saturday eyening, August 5th, will be opened by a short prelude by the Honolulu students, after which Capt. Richard Hobson, the hero of Santiago harbor, will deliver one of his famous lec- tures. The event of Capt. Hobson bottling the Spanish fleet in Santiago harbor is so well known to the gen- eral public that it needs no extended notice at the hands of the Butler Chautauqua management. It was one of the bravest deeds ever recorded and theentire world applauded. He is as great on the lecture platform as he was when fighting Uncle Sam’s _bat- tles upon the seas. If you miss this number you will always regret ite Protection as it Is. Thomas F, Parker, of Appleton City, Mo. Rt. 5, is in possession of a very interesting document in the shape of a customs house receipt which every voter and every house- wife, who is not thoroughly informed as to the many “‘blessings’’ of the pro- tective tariff, would learn much by examining. Last Christmas, Mr. Parker receiv- eda package from his parents, who live in Ireland, containing a couple of | pairs of wool stockings, a piece of cloth, and weighing one and one- quarter pounds, of the package was $1.50. . Mr. Par- was forced to pay duty on this pack- age in the sum of $1.45, an amount within five cents of the full valuation thereof. Mr. Parker, who was in in town the first of the week inform- ed us that his brother had met with a similar experience, having been forc- ed to pay a duty of $2.48 upon a pack- age valued at $2.50. Mr. Parker confesses that he is en- tirely unable to discover any benefits which the protective tariff afford the farmer of the common people, and we would respectfully advise against any believer in “‘protection’’ attempt- ing to convert him. Elias Orear. Elias Orear, aged about 80 years, departed this life at his home in Fos- ter, Mo., Tuesday morning, June 27, after a long iJIness resulting from a stroke of paralysis suffered early in his youth. : Mr. Orear was a native of Ken- tucky. Atan early age he located in Indiana, and in 1869 removed with his family to this county, where he has since resided. He is survived by twelve children, seven sons and five daughters.

NUMBER 36 Senate Balks Plans to Fix Voting Dates. Washington, D. C., June 27.— Crossed political wires caused a shower of controversial sparks in the Senate to-day, but without tangible results. Senator Penrose, chairman of the Finance Committee, vainly tried to get unanimous consent to vote on reciprocity July 24, on the wool bill July 26, and on the free list bill July 28. But the insurgents objected to the reciprocity date. The standpatters then objected to fixing the dates on the two tariff bills, unless July 24 were also named for the vote on reci- procity. The stand-pat regulars believe the President will veto the tariff bills if they reach him after he has signed the reciprocity agreement. The pro- gressive Democrats want time to pre- cede the vote on the tariff bills with a vigorous appeal to the country, which would popularize the measures and make it the more difficult for the President to veto them. The upshot of to-day’s failure to reach an agreement isa decision on the part of the regular Republicans and the Democrats to force the issue upon reciprocity. Hereafter the in- surgents will be made to do all the talking, to consume hour after hour’ on their feet, and, whenever their oratory lags, Vice President Sherman will spur them on by putting the question on the bill. The purpose is to place the insurgents in the position of filibustering against the pact. Senator Stone issued a statement to-night for Washington consumption, which urges the Senate Democrats not to diverge a hair’s breadth from the programme now laid down. He wants reciprocity to have first atten- tion. As Stone is doing the leading for the Democrats in tariff matters, his statement may | have effect. Rumbold’, 's Bond in Dispute. Jefferson City, Mo., June 27.—In going over the records in the man- damus suit filed by Adjutant General Rumbold against State Auditor Gor- don in the Supreme Court, to force the latter to draw warrants for Rum- bold’s salary at the rate ‘of $2,500 a year, Attorney General Major today | made the discovery that the Adjutant General had neglected to file a new bond, following his resignation and reappointment in July 1909, This will be a part of the pleadings on behalf of the Auditor. The Adjutant General was appoint- ed in January, 1909. That winter the Legislature revised the military code, land increased the salary of the Adju- | tant General from $2,000 to $2,500 a year. After this law became effec- tive Rumbold resigned, and was im- mediately reappointed. Following his first appointment he had filed a bond for $20,000, but the Attorney General says this was never renewed. It was not until the last Legislature convened that a sufficient appropriation was voted to cover the extra salary, and this the Auditor has refused to allow. Major says if the Adjutant General is eligible to draw the increased sal- ary because of his resignation and re- appointment, he is not even ade facto officer under the reappointment, since he is not under an official bond, and that either road followed in seeking to get the increased salary will prove fatal to the claim. Popular Vote in Conference. Washington, D. C., June 27.—The resolution providing for a constitu- tional amendment for the direct elec- tion of Senators was sent to confer- ence today by the Senate, but was not put in the hands of its most earn- est supporters. Vice President Sher- man carefully left Senator Borah off the Conference Committee, placing thereon Senator Clark of Wyoming, Nelson of Minnesota and Bacon of Georgia. The Bennert & Peabody’s big tent shows which are advertised to appear in this city July 3, 4, 5, are reputed to be among the leaders in the tent show line. Besides their large troupe of histronic talent they carry a most excellent band and orchestra, giving free band concerts daily. Gus Ben- nert, a Butler boy, is one of the pro- | prietors of the show. a on Ce bi oe
