Twin Boys, Colts and Calves.

Springfield, Ill, July 30.-The
old saying that unusual occurrences
come in groups of three was strik-
ingly illustrated in Sanganon county
yesterday. The wife of William
Barry of this city gave birth to twin
boys. Mr.. Barry remained home
long enough to get glimpse of his
two sons and then drove to his farm,
a short distance north of this city.
He went to his stable and found
that a reliable mare had that morn -.
ing fsalsd two healthy colts, both
of which are males. From the stable
he repaired to the barn lot and there
he was confronted by milch cow
with two newborn calves at her side.
The babies, the colts and the calves
are all Iusty yeang fellows and
promise 70 live and thrive.

We are requested to state that the
report put in circulation that Butler
College would not be opened this
year for the reception of pupils, and
that the building had been sold for
use of the Butler public schools is
entirely erroneous The Butler Col
lege will open en- time Monday,
Sept. 4, 1899, under the supervision
of E. A. Ludwig. Under its present
management the Butler College was
an entire success last year and so far
the prospects are fattering for the
coming year, in point of attendance.
This college articulates in all
courses with the State University,
an essential point that should not be
overlooked by those desiring a thor
ough education Another point, this
college is right at your door, so that
parents can see over and watch the
advancements of their children, an
you could not have by
sending your children away from
home.
This college is worthy and should
have the patronage of Bates county.
Remember the college opens Sept.

THE RURAL VISITOR.
And the Lesson He Taught to the
Dandified City Chap.

he D'ie tne customary re-
semblance to rural visitor.
There was the chin beard and the
clean shaven upper lip and the
trousers that fell just below his
ankles. No wonder the toppish
ly garbed youth at the end of the
car snickered aloud when he
entered.
All during the ride up Lincoln
avenue the young man smiled at
the aged gentleman opposite him
The latter fell to reading a news
paper, but now an then he would
look over the top of it and meet
the taunting eyes OF the young
man.
All Of a sudden he laid the
paper aside and arose from his
seat. He grabbed one of the
"hold on" straps and tugged at it
frantically. The conductor did
not notice his attempt. apparent
ly, to stop the car, but nearly
drove the young man into bvs.
terics. "Oh, what a Rube :" the
old man heard him mutter. and
then as though the efforts of the
aged gentleman had sOftened his
heart, he said, III do it for YOU"
and rising he pulled the motor
mans bell. When he had tugged
il in the regular way, the old man
resumed his seat.
The car came to n standstill al,
the corner. The conductor opened
the rear door, but no one inside
moved.
II guess it was that Young fel
!'l 'NtI 'ItIt. dnS"tTt'l lht & '
man, nodding toward the youth.
"D'ye wantergit Off" inquired
tn" conductor, with a snap.
"Why, no." stammered the
youth. II thought that the cldor-
~ gentleman did, and | rang the
bell for him. He was pulling one
OF those straps.'
Every one saw the position the
old man had placed the young
man in. and all ewes We're turrci
on him. He reddened.
"What did YOU do it for e.
asked the conductor, turning 10
the aged passenger.
II jest wanted to show a thing
or two to that young cuXcUm.I
over thcrc,' was the reply. And
he added as the youth duckrd for
the open door, IL guess | did it. ."
