The Butler Weekly Times| ¥ Printed on Thursday of each week J. D. ALLEN, Proprietor ROBT. D, ALLEN, Editor and Manager Entered at the Post Office of Butler, Mo., as @econd-class mail matter. PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR NOT FOR LONG. The editor of the Republican-Press is very much exercised because the Times should presume to criticise the “barnstorming”? methods employed by Governor Hadley in his efforts to keep in the public eye, and took us severely to task last week. We plainly expressed our opinion of the Governor's antics in the arti- cle of which he complains, and only desire to add that we are very grate- ful to Providence that we shall have to put up for only a few months longer with a Republican make- shift for an official who earns his salary by making speeches and keep- ing his name in the public prints. WE DON’T BELIEVE IT. A light vote was polled at the capi- tol bond election, Tuesday, and the measure was defeated 52 to 25. This will be about the same ratio all over the State.—Hume Telephone.

It now seems that nothing can prevent an apple crop which will be fully 200 per cent greater than was harvested in the State last year. Civil Service Examination— A detailed summary | Clerk-Carrier.

Perkins, a director of the United | States Steel Corporation, and one of ‘the men said tohave aided in averting | financial disaster in the panic of 1907, faces to-night the alternative of answering questions to the House |Committee on Inquiry into the Steel | Corporation, bearing on his personal jcampaign contributions and such |contributions made by the New York Life Insurance Co., or of being cited before the bar of the House of Representatives. Should the House sustain the majority of the committee and order Perkins to answer, and should he then still refuse, he may be adjudged in contempt of Congress and impris- oned. It is believed, however, that this crisis will not be reached, Per- kins having expressed a desire to re- flect on his position. Perkins, though personally willing j to talk about campaign contributions, refused, on the advice of counsel, to |answer questions along that line put i _|to him by Chairman Stanley and Rep- | resentative Beall of Texas. Vantrees-Fox. Miss Birdie Vantrees and Mr. Ar- jthur Fox, both of this city, were united in marriage Sunday, August (6, 1911, atthe home of Mrs. Ralph |Payne in Rosedale, Kansas, Rev. | officiating. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Vantrees and is possessed of talent, beauty and most amiable disposition. The groom, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Fox, isa young gen- tleman of ability and exemplary habits. He recently completed a a course ata school of photography at McMinnville, Tennessee. The happy couple will make their home at Wellsville, Kansas, where Mr. Fox has accepted a position in a studio. Real Estate Transfers. T B Scott to GB Plymell blk 236, Foster $300.
