Butler Center, Once Thriving Village,
Wiped OFF the Map.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls. Nov. 30.-Because no one
could be found to act as postmaster the
government has wiped the town of But
Ter Center off the map and place that
once promised to be leading city OF
Central Iowa is no more. The town at
one time was the county seat of Butler
county and gave promise Of attaining
proportions of city but it is the old
story of the railroads passing on one
side and then on another of the town
and resulting in the development OF
new cities and towns that soon sap the
life of the inland planes. From lead
ing trading point. the town of Butler
Center has gradually dwindled away
until the last stage of town has dis
appeared and being no more worthy of
recognition the government places the
stamp of oblivion on it and it Will be
known only in history. hereafter.

Hawarden, Nov. 30.-The real reason

proposition. Hay,arden. five years from

court house for itself, and there is every
reason to expect that Hawarden will
vote against the proposition to issue
bonds for a new court house at Orange
City.
If new and adequate court house is
built at Orange City the county seat
question will be forever settled. The
Orange City and Alton factions were
divided SO equally in the last election
that the vote OF Harwarden was enough
to turn to scale to the side of Orange
City. The influence of Hawarden in the
bond election will doubtless be equally
as large. The Hawarden people would
favor Sioux Center as the county seat
If it had better railroad connections. 1t

county, but has only the Willmar and
Sioux Falls line of the Great Northern.
AS long as the county seat is to be in
one end Of the county the Hawardenites
think 1t may as well be in their end.

Further Particulars.

Des Moines. Nov. 30.-The town of
Waukee, fourteen miles west of the city
on the Milwaukee and Rock Island lines,
was visited by disastrous fire last
night, and dozen buildings situated in
the northern portion of the town were
destroyed About 9 o'clock Chief Bur-
nett, OF the fire department, was called
up by telephone from Waukee and re-
quested to send one or two chemical en-
gines to the aid of the citizens. 1t was
stated that the entire town was endan-
gered from a fire that had just broken
out.
Meanwhile the people at Waukee har
communicated with the Rock Island Of
ficers and secured an order from Super
intendent Gilmore for an engine and
two fiat cars for the transportation of
the firemen and chemical engines to thai
place. The cars were at Valley Junction.
and nearly an hour elapsed before the
train was in readiness. Two chemical
engines were taken to the freight depot
on Tenth and Vine and all preparations
made to go to the assistance of the en-
dangered village. However, Just as tn,
firemen were loading the engines mes,
sage was received stating that the fire
had been gotten under control and that
there was no need for the department.
The trip was then abandoned.
Neither the depot nor the elevator
were burned, but owing to the severance
of telephone connection with Waukee no
communication could be had with the
town last night. Telegraphic commune
cation was not impaired but the opera
tor for the Rock Island went out to help
fight the fire and did not return. It was
rot learned how the fire started, but
nearly the entire loss was confined to
the business district.
