builder, has purchased a lot of Jno.
F. Herrell, and will shortly erect
thereon a commodiouS residence. In
the mean time he has established a
model camp, where he and his wife
are keeping house" Mr.. Gilbert
decided some time ago to perman-
entity locate here, and was recently
joined by his wife, who had been
staying in Kansas City.
/ The Board of Health of Butler rec
ommends the cleaning up about the
premises and cutting and carrying
away of the rank growth of weeds,
caused by the late heavy rains. Too
much attention to cleanliness around
the home and business premises dur
ing the next two hot months cannot
be given, and an abundance of I'M
Stacked lime and other diSinfecants
can be used to advantage. Proper
precaution now might and probably
would save serious sickness.
Mrs. j. Y. Whitsett died at their
home in Oklahoma City, after brief
illness Friday night. The remains
were brought to Butler Sunday after
noon and taken to the home of Basil
Culver. Funeral services were con-
Quoted from the Ohio street church
Monday afternoon by Rev. ". f.
Jones, of Sedalia, formerly pastor of
this church, and interment in Oak
Hill cemetery. Mrs. Whitsett was an
exceptionally good woman, came of a
fine old central Missouri family, and
her whole life was marked with good
deeds and kind acts. She was de-
voted wife, an affectionate and indul-
gent mother, a kind neighbor, and
true christian woman.
Both Butler and Nevada have fly
ing machine inventors. The Nevada
inventor has tested his aeroplane and
claims the model stayed in the air
about 20 minutes. He has applied
for patent and is building machine
l5x40 feet in size. The Post says
that for the present he does not want
his name publicly known. Buffers
inventor, Judge d. q. NewSom, is
not so modest. He insists that he can
build a machine that can fly and all he
asks is that the citizens organize a
company and furnish the money.
Any Butler citizen who wants to be
''in the fly" has this golden opportu-
nifty opened to him.
Our old friend 7. Hulen dropped in
Monday to have his dates set ahead
and was reminded that il was his
18th birthday. If is often said that
man is as old as he feels, and this ap-
plies well to Mr.. Hulen's case, who
is hearty and stout and gets around
almost as lively as a boy, and weighs
100 pounds. He had just been out
overseeing the hands in the hay har-
vest for his sOn-in-law, Geo. g.
Henry. George has forty acres of
fine timothy. Mr.. Hulen was born in

kogee, Okla, and their only son was
killed in a street car accident in Kan
saS City few years ago,
