tvs Oldest citizens, died at the home
of his son, l.. A. Deems, few miles
southeast of this city, Saturday after
noon, of heart failure. While he had
been sufferer from heart trouble for
long time, his death was unexpect-
ed, as he had seemed in better health
for the last few days. Saturday
morning he seemed unusually we'll
but few hours later he was found
dead in his chair
MIR. Deems was born in Iowa in
1851 and when IA years old moved

G. and S. A. Deems, of this county,
and William Deems. of Oklahoma.
He was man of the highest char
acter, quiet, unassuming and a good
citizen and the esteem in which he
was held by the. neighbors who had
known him for SO many years was
attested by the large number at
tending the funeral Monday.

Baptist church, was held at the home

ternoon, after which interment was
made in the Elliott cemetery.

though the fire might spread to the
adjoining buildings, but prompt and
efficient work by the fire department

receiving the alarm, prevented a gems
eral conflagration.
The fire started from some wood

fire, the fire spreading to she walls Of
the bake room. The oven was badly
damaged a. Was the wood work of

FORMER BUTLER BOY
ADJUTANT GENERAL
Major A. v. Adams Succeeds Gen.
McCord as Hea dof Missouri
National Guard.

Governor Gardner has appointed
Major A. V. Adams to be adjutant
general of the Missouri National
Guard to succeed General James II
McCord, who resigned to accept a
commission in the United States
army with the rank of lieutenant COL
onel.
The appointment was in no sense a
political one, but was based solely
on merit. There is no man in the
state who has greater knowledge
of the military affairs of the state
than Genl. Adams.
He was born and raised in this
county and has always been student
of military affairs. He joined Co. B
in October 1888, and his. service has
been continuous since that time. In
1903 he was first lieutenant and
volunteered for service in the Span
ish-American war. Most of his SER
vice was spent on the stats of differ
ent generals in the southern camps
After he was mustered out he re-
turned to Missouri and soon after
was appointed to a position in the
adjntant generals office, where he
has been ever since.
He possesses a military tenpera-
ment to marked degree and his ex-
ecutive ability and thorough knowl-
edge of military affairs makes his
very appropriate at this
time.

Red Cross Seals.

Doubtless every man and woman in
Butler will be asked to buy Red
Cross seals some time during the
next week. This is a great work and
should have the hearty cooperation
OF everyone. The few cents that you
will be asked to give is not much to
you but will do much to help humani-
ty. One of the greatest scourges of
the times is tuberculosis, and after
the great war il over it naturally will
become a greater menace than it is
now, as the men now engaged in that
struggle will come home with weak
