W. H. Charters, Jr., Butler, Mo., has done much to make Bates county Mo., Poland Chinas famous and he is continuing to make those he pro- duces superior in every way. Mr. Charters has bred the strictly big, smooth kind from the start and has never let an opportunity pass to se- cure breeding stock that in his judg- ment would improve his herd. When he found he could get the great White Sox Chief be lost no time in buying him. When he purchased Long Price he travelled over 300 miles in order to see him. This pair of big fellows are proving their worth as sires and it is proven Mr. Charters’ judgment in selecting was good. He has a great string of sows that are as well bred and to the service of these boars they are producing some great boar prospects. Mr. Charters has had exceptional success this year and his pigs are now getting to the size when they show the kind of hog they will make. All have been treated to the simultaneous treatment and are doing exceptionally well. They are now being priced to those looking for young boars of strictly big-type breeding and big-type quality.-Farm- er and Stockman. Mrs. Sarah I.

Butler’s Third Chautauqua opened Sunday afternoon under the most favorable conditions. While slight- ly cloudy, the day was comfortably cool and an audience estimated by Officials at twelve hundred, enjoyed the opening session. ’ Circuit Clerk H. O. Maxey, whom the Chautauqua committee wisely en- gaged as platform manager, opened the session with a brief talk follow- ing which was a prelude by the New York Marine Band, a musical organi- zation of rare talent and ability. Opie Read, the well known author, was the speaker of the afternoon and for two hours he entertained the vast audience with his talk on ‘The Scare- crows of Life.’’ Opie Read is one of the few great writers who can speak before an audience and he isa de- lightful talker. He talks in the same quaint half humorous style in which he so delightfully writes, bringing laughter to his audience in one sén- tence and in the next, painting so pa- thetic a word picture as to bring tears. to the eyes. The evening session may best be: described as an evening of melody, the New York Marine Band enter- taining the audience with a delight- ful two hours’ concert. The most delightful feature of the evening’s entertainment was a vocal solo by Miss Merle Hartwell of St. Louis who is the guest of Mr.-and Mrs. J. B. Duvall. Miss Hartwell is a singer of rare ability and she has of- ten delighted the music lovers of St. Louis by appearing in Grand Opera.

The All Stars ball team was defeat- ed at Butler yesterday by a score of 17to0. The feature of the game was Chris Black making 7 home runs out of seven times up. The All Stars’ manager, W. McQuitty, has resigned and the team is in search of a new one, also a “‘good”’ pitcher, one that can really pitch hay, excepting Frank Asbury.—Saturday’s Review. Messrs. Almond McCarty, Lee Pet- tus, Guy Wheatly, James Wheatley, Tom Akrigg Jr., John Creasy, Joe Mime, they have proceeded to the point ‘of informing Secretary Bryan what they have inmind. Nodevelopments are expected for at least a fortnight, during which the administration here will keep in close touch with the nego- tiations. The argumentthe Mexicans are said to be planning to place before Huerta is that the United States under no cir- cumstances would recognize his regime, and that to extricate Mexico from its financial straits it is neces- sary to establish a new administration and obtain the recognition of the American Government. If President Huerta were willing to abdicate, men acceptable to him as well as the Constitutionalists have been selected tentatively from whom a successor would be named. Wall Steele, the four year old son of Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Steele, experi- enced a very painful accident about 5 o,clock Wednesday afternoon when some powder, which he set fire to, exploded in his face. Mr. Steele and his family with his brother and sister- in-law, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Steele of St. Louis, were camping on Hal- ley’s Bluff, about seven miles from Klumpp, Seymour Williamson, Peter McReynolds and Edward Sisson.

The preliminary hearing of Robert Strahl, charged with assaulting Miss Emma Gull of Amoret which was to have been heard before Judge B. F. Jeter Wednesday morning was taken to Judge Hemstreet’s court on a change of venue and the case was opened Wednesday afternoon.

It is generally understood down here that Chas. E. Fortune, operator for the Western Union Telegraph Co., at the Mo. Pac. station in Rich Hill, will be a candidate for the nom- ination of Recorder of Bates tounty. Charley was almost born and raised in Bates county, is well known all over this section, is thoroughly quali- fied, and though always a Democrat, of the county. He has not sought }the position at any time, but very many Democrats have besougt him in we hear that since the Rockville pic- nic last week, where nearly 100 per- sons voluntarily urged him to become a candidate, he has consented to do so.- Rich Hill Review. A confragation which for a time appeared would destroyed a consid- erable portion of the residence dis- trict of the city, originated in the barn on the Wm. Boag place on Harrison street Tuesday evening. The flames spread rapidly, ignit- ing the barn on the Sellars place and the barn on the J. B. Small place. All three of these building were destroy- ed. Several residences in the imme- diate vicinity caught fire but were quickly extinguished by the fire de- partment, the members of which worked nobly to check the flames. “VANISHING BRIDE” _ KIDNAPPED, SHE SAYS Young Wife Declares Hume Man Was Leader of Gang Which Abducted Her. Iola, Kas., July 29.—Mary Arm- strong Dean, the 15-year-old “lost” bride, was brought here by Sheriff Kerr from mae entones, where she was found early today. She was placed in jail. Harvey Dean, the young husband, called upon his bride soon after her arrival. ey greeted each other affectionately. She said that she did not leave Iola willingly, and that she was led out of Courthouse Park by McCord, another man, whom she would not name, and several of their friends. Mrs. Dean insists that she resisted when bei placed aboard a Santa Fe train an only gave up when she thought fur- ther resistance was of no avail. She says that she knows now that a plot was formed to steal her away from Dean, and that a rival for her hand, a man who formerly lived in Hume, Mo., but who was not McCord was the principal leader of the gang. This man, the girl-wife says, has at- tem; to approach her since she n a but that she was able to fight him off. Mrs. Dean repudiated her previous it Dean threatened her. She she forced to tell that E would get almost every Republican | and Independent vote in this portion | the past year to make the race, and} Charles Dickens’ ‘David Copper- field.” Other sketches of an inter- esting and entertaining nature fol- lowed with a delightful variety. Fol- lowing the Spragues at the afternoon performance, Dr. Edward A. Steiner delivered his address on the ‘‘Strug- gle for Brotherhood.’’ Dr. Steiner who is among the most eminent of sociologists has a national reputation as an authority on the subject of im- migration. The Butler band opened the even- ‘ing session and it is but just to our | excellent band to state here that they lost nothing in comparison. Miss Margaret Snyder sang delightfully and the Spragues finished the even- ing with an interpretation of Rip Van {Winkle. The English Opera Quintet | was the attraction Tuesday afternoon |regaling the audience with a session of beautiful melody and again open- jing the evening performance. One | specially notable feature of their en- tertainment was the old songs of by- 'gone days given in the costumes like 'those worn by people of fifty and a hundred years ago. Following the {Quintet in the evening came C. L. ‘Burgderfer in wigs and costumes. Burgderfer is strictly an entertainer, but with his entertainment he brings a delightful message. He does his work in wigs and costumes, deline- ating the striking characters of litera- ture. Anevening with Burgderfer is an entertainment, a literary treat and an humorous occasion. The Chautauqua is being given an extremely liberal patronage this year in spite of the hot weather and bids fair to be fully as successful as last year’s entertainment. Many are here from a distance in response to the homecoming invitations sent out and all seem to be enjoying a delightful week.
