duplicated in Jennings on Satur-
day Dec. 81: ''Ihe big tents
were literally packed with peo-
pie, and it may be said, to start
with, that erybody was delight
ed with the performance. There
we're few and novel features that
caught the crowd immediately.
A band concert preceded the
performance in the big tent,
which was a treat for lovers.
The ring performance intro,
duced the Earl Sisters, IN thrill
leg aerial feats; the Tybells in
ev0lutions on The lofty ladder;the
six Eddys, whose acrobatic feats
were wonderful; Miss Edna, a
beautiful and daring performer,
and many others famous in the
ring, not to speak Of the clowns,
who kept.the people ina roar OF
laughter from theopening tourna

Although, the performance is
kaleidoscope of marvellous featS

is one of the best ever seen in
this city"

The community and the country
suffer when such young men
leave it. Miss Wilson's parlors
were tastefully arranged and
decorated with flowers. The
tables were beautifully laid by
her fair assistants. The oysters
and many dainties were greately
appreciated by those surround
ing the tables. With song, con
versation and games the evening
quickly fed. Before the com

GOT TOGETHER. :

The Rich Hill Tribune is right; the
people of Butler have got together
and when they so pull something has
got to pop as was recently dem
Onstrated to the satisfaction of the
editor of that paper. We want to
say, however, that there is no inflat-
ed boom on here. The city has
always been behind the country
Butler for years has been one of the
best trading points in the state. She
has some of the largest and best
assorted stocks of goods ofany town
of its size to our knowledge, but there
has never been a united effort of the
business men and property owners
to boom the town and thereby in
crease the population Nor is there
such an effort now. The present
building impetus is due wholly to
natural causes, the principal one
being that while the town has been
allowed to plod along in a rut, the
country has forged ahead, and now
the equilibrium will be restored. We
fully expect to see our population
double in the next year or two, yet
we are far from expecting a metrop-
oils. We have placed our figures at
10000 population, which the coun-
try contiguous can well support and
sustain. The old town is putting on
airs and we are proud of her but we
don't intend, if We can help it, to
have her overdo the thing. No, we
want TO go the limit that we can
sustain

An east and west railroad through
the county may be built, but it is
only the vaguest possibility. We
are of the opinion that such a road
would not be lasting benefit to
Butler. 1t would cut off and divide
MP the rich agricultural country
from which we now derive our largest
trade We have now splendid road
and good connections with the out
side world. Freight rates TO Butler
are not eXhorbitant. and we doubt
if they would he any less if We got
another road They have IA sched-
nle of rates and maintain them no
matter how many roads run TO a
town. IT, however. this talked OF
east and west road passes through
Bates county, then Butler can not
afford TO have it run around her. If
the road comes To Bates county the
projectors viii certainly make over
lures. or at least notify the people
Of Butler what Is expected of them.
and if their demands are within the
bounds of reason they will be met.

In the appointment of Philander
c. Knox of Pittsburg, as attorney
general, Mr.. Mckinley secures a law
yer of marked ability, according TO

1t must always be accounted some
thing OF drawback, however. when
the president picks out as his law ad-
wiser man who has no public repu-
tation, in preference TO one the peo-
pie have come to know and respect.
1t seems also rather unfortunate
that when there are laws on the
statute books against trusts, the
attorney generalship should be given
to a lawyer who has been the adviser
OF great promoters OF trusts This
is not to say that Mr.. Knox may
not prove impartial as well as able:
only that, human nature being what
it is, a man with his record has to

POLICE SHOT DOWN
ON JOPLIN STREETS.
Officer Sweeney Killed and Officer
BrannOn Dying.
WORK OF A ROBBER BAND.

Joplin, Mo, April 23.-At an early
hour this morning Officers Jane,
Sweeney, Bert Brannon and Charles
Laughlin, while making a round o
the Kansas City Southern railroad
yards, discovered six men in a boz
car and arrested them and started
with them to police headquarters
| When at the corner of Second and
main streets, in the heart of the bus
mess section of the city, and within
sight of the station, the prisoners
| turned on the officers and commenced
shooting.
Officers Sweeney and Brannon were
fatally wounded and Sweeney died a
few hours later Officer Laughlin es-
capped and ran to the station for as
sistance and five of the prisoners dis
appeared in the darkness.
The sixth man proved TO be Il Mis-
souri, Pacific switchman named James
Roby, who has worked in the Comp
ton avenue yards in St Louis for the
last two years He was beating his
way to Fort Smith, where he had
job promised, and gave himself up as
witness. He was able to furnish
only meager description OF the as
sassins, and there is little hope that
they will be captured.
Developments since the murder in
dictate that the six men were no ord
mary tramps but an organized band
of robbers and burglars. A search
OF the car in which the men were
found at daylight this morning re-
vealed the fact that they had left in
the ear large number of skeleton
keys, flask of fine balck powder, a
bottle of nitro-glycerine and a sack
containing fifty pounds or more of
dynamite.
Bands of armed men have been
securing the country since daylight
this morning and it is hoped that
the men may be captured.
W. A. N Martin, who was near the
spot where the shooting occurred and
saw the officers pass with the men,
was able to give a fairly good de-
scription of those who did the shoot
ing.
A meeting for the formation of a
vigilance committee was called to-
night at the court house by some of
the most prominent citizens OF the
city and if the men are captured a |
lynching will surely follow.
Officer James Sweeney died at 500
this morning and Officer Bert Bran
non lies between life and death with |
a bullet in his lungs, and is expected |
to die at any moment.

THE MINISTER IN THE SICK ROOM.

| The Reverend Doctor Harcourt, oil
Reading, Pa, ministerin the People S
Methodist Episcopal church, has Gre
ated a sensation in religious circles
by taking the advanced grounds that
ministers should not be allowed in
the sick room. His declaration of
that nature called forth the condem-
nation of preachers all over the
country. On last Sunday night he
preached to an overflow congrega-
ton on The Minister in the Sick
room" He said;
"A cheerful man or woman in the
sick room may prove a benediction,
while that of long-faced, sepulchral
voiced christian is almost certain
death | advise everybody to be ex-
ceedingly careful about allowing a
a minister into the sick room. His
very presence is cause for alarm.
His solemn cOuntenance, his tone
OF voice, his tiptoeing around the
sick bed, are grave cause for alarm,
but when he approaches the patient
and with sad countenance looks into
his face, feels his pulse and heaves a
deep sigh, and says:
'''Let US have a few words of
prayer
''Such d dose of ministerial minis
tration is enough to make "a
we'll man sick, and no doctor or
nurse can overcome, even with pow
erful and efficatious remedies, the eff
fects of such visit as have describ
ed. The sickroOm is not the
place to prepare for death. Minis
tiers or laymen have no right to ex
tort a confession or profession from
the sick who are unable to protect |
themselves. Even the law says that |
a will in order to be legal must be
made at least thirty days before
Death
These are very bold words for this
learned minister to utter, thus flying |
INTO the face of degmas which have
been accepted and practiced from the
of the christian ministry.
As to whether or not the deathbed |
repentance is efficacious has long been
4 moOted question; but a minister
% give spiritual consolation, to pre-
bare the mind and speed the soul on

always been thought to be one of the
eading missions of the preacher and
10 have these old beliefs and tradi-
ions thus rudely assaulted will not
,e kindly received even by "a large
of the people outside the
hurch. DR.. Harcourt will have to
,dvance reasons stronger than mere
lords of condemnation and ridicule

ster should be excluded from the ,
