It has been nearly a week since
the Board of Health made its report
to the mayor and board of aldermen
pointing out the extreme filthy con-
dition of the alleys and warning
them that diphtheria in its most
malignant form had made its appear
ance in our city, its cause being di-
rectly traceable to the want of prop
er sanitary precautions, and still
no action has been taken. This is
gross carelessness of somebody. The
health and lives of our children are
at stake, and if the officials whose
duty it is to attend to this matter
presist in neglecting their duty. a
public meeting should be called and
the citizens take action in the mat
ter themself.

The Sabine Pass.

Mr.. McWilliams, railroad con-

Kansas City Wednesday. In con-
uersation with a Mail reporter he
said:
''1ou are aware that r. P. Nc
Cormick. of Kansas City, has secured
ITO miles of the Sabine Pass road.
1 am now on my way to Jasper
county to look at portion of the
line, which I shall probably take as
q sub-contract.
'Ies, you can say that the road is
an assured certainty-at least ITO
miles OF it. that is to say from Ran
sas City to Pierce City. 1 do not
think, however, that it will be built
further than the coal fields in Bates
this fall.
Il think I shall take a winter 3
contract near Ellis. also. and shall
want hundred more teams than 7
have."-Nevada Mail.

The TINES was interested in the
appointed of Ira Mcconnell as a
cadet to West Point, and was partic-
ularly gratified over his appointment
by the board of examiners at Neva-
da on the 5th inst. Perhaps we were
more interested in his success from
the fact that he had been an appren-
tice in this office, and from his man
ly conduct, politeness and good be-
havior had won our highest esteem.
There were twenty-five applicants for
the appointment, several of whom
were regular college graduates, but
our ex-devil walked off with the first
honors in the contest, with S. G.. Ar
mold, as alternate. He will 90 to
West Point next June, and the TIMES
predicts he will acquit himself in
such a manner as to take front rank
in his classes at the very start, and
graduate at the head of his class.

Holden, Mo, Sept, 5.-Hon. Chas.
II. j. Taylor (colored) of Kansas
City, ex-minister to Liberia, spoke
here tonight to an immense audi
ence in answer to al invitation of the
western district democratic club.
Every seat was taken and his speech
was received with great applause.
There was not large number of his
own race present, but those who
were there were enthusiastic. An
effort was made to keep them from
hearing him.
Mr.. Taylor has expressed desire
to visit Butler and make speech to
the colored people of this place, and
we understand arrangements are be-
ing made to have him come in the
near future.

Frichtful Accident.

FRIDAY evening last ]. 4. Ingram 5
little daughter eighteen months old
net with an accident whereby it IS
feared both her feet vii have to be
amputated. As near as we could
learn the facts are as follows:
The father was making sorghum mo-
lasses near the house, and had dug
long ditch over which he had
placed his pans and under which he
built fire, the ditch being longer
than the pans space was left in
which to drag the Goals and embers.
While the father was busy crushing
cane the baby's brother hauled her
down to where the molasses were be
ing boiled, and stopping the wagon
close to the front of the pans, left
the baby and went off to play. He
had not been gone long until the
little girl crawled out of the wagon
and into the ditch where the embers
had been drawn, and before her con-
dition was discovered her feet and
legs almost to her knees We're fright
fully burned; so much so that DR..
Renick fears he will be compelled to
amputate both her feet. Mr.. Ingram
is prosperous farmer, living some
six miles southwest of Butler, and
he has the sympathy of the entire
community.

DR.. Renick informs us that a son
of Adam Brixner met with quite a
serious accident Saturday evening
at the iron bridge which spans
Mound Branch, about one mile east
of the city. The wagon contained
eleven persons and young Brixner
was standing up holding to a barrel.
In going down the hill to the bridge,
which is quite steep, he lost his bal
ance and fell out, the hind wheel
passing over his stomach. DR.. Renick
was called, but, at the time of giving
us this item. was unable to state
whether the young man was inter,
nally hurt OF not.

S. C. Franklin said a sad sight
met his eyes in Adrian Monday. 1t
was a little girl, about ten years of
age, driving a movers wagon which
contained her mother down with a
fever, very sick woman. They had
come from North Missouri and were
on their way to Joplin, where the
mother thought she had a sister in
law living. The mother had been
sick for eight or nine days and when
they reached Adrian she was unable
to travel further. The good ladies
of the town, finding out her true
condition, stopped the wagon, rented
house and made the two as COM
Portable as possible. Dr. Gilmore
was called and took the case in
charge. MIR. Franklin says the ladies
of Adrian were very attentive, lend
ing the unfortunate ever aid in their
power. The little girl had cared
for her as best she could, but said
the people along the road where
they had applied for aid would pay
no attention to them.

LOST CORNER, Sept. I, '99.

ED. TIMES:
Mr. Newsom's article was read at the
club the other night and I was ap-
pointed a committee to investigate
him and report as to the probability
of his doing as he promises.
I find that Mr.. Newsom don't
always come to time Instance: Some
years ago he promised if We would
make him a J. P. he would quit
telling yarns. Last spring he said
if the citizens of Butler would elect
him alderman the town dogs would
be seized OF a deadly epidemic at
once.
He promised the citizen in the
east end that if elected he would
cause the sulphur we'll to flow ten
feet higher than the Clinton we'll
and with twice the volume. He
told the people of West Butler he
would bring pressure on Jay Gould
that would bring new depot and
round houses to them at once. He
also promised, at his own expense,
to furnish gas for the whole town
and relieve the people of the neces-
sity of electric lights, and also to
abolish dog fennel, rag weed and
tin cans in the corporate limits.
He hasn't done it, Mr.. Editor, and
we are agin him at the Corner.

Answer TO Mr.. CarneS.

SUMMIT TwP., Aug. 10, 1888.
EDIToR TINES:
The little statement 7 sent to the
TINES seems to have stirred up the
bile of E. X. Carnes. / had no idea
the matter was SO near the surface
as it was. But it has served his
purpose we'll; it has let the public
know that he is i'll the grain busi-
ness-a fact that but few people
were cognizant of. l had no thought
of injuring Butler or any merchant
in Butler And as to my gross ex-
aggeration of the facts, as have no
business of my own, if E. X. Carnes
desires it I will give to him and the
public a list of names of the citizens
of Bates county who are hauling
their grain and seed to other towns,
and also give prices for grain and
seed at some of the different stations
around and compare prices. AS to
my crawling into the community in
which live, came in on the train.
but if we had no better grain buyers
than E. X. would have to crawl
out of it, if got out at all. Now,
Ed, don't take this matter too much
to heart. AS to your dollars and my
cents, will say expect that state
ment is as near the truth as any
you made. Engaged in the business
you are, your business is likely to
bring in large dividends, while it
makes my returns smaller, conse-
quently We are widely separated
financially Mr.. Editor, I did not
expect this controversy, neither do l
now desire it, for it cant help any
body.
AS ever, in hopes Of a change,
OBSERVER.
