Expect ireland to Balk.

Belfast, Ireland, July 24.-The be-
lief appears general in Belfast that
Eamonn De Valera, the Irish Repub-
lican leader. will not accept the terms
Of the British government for . set
tlement of the Irish question, which
fall far short Of the Republican
ideal.
1t may be assumed that the OUT
standing feature Of the governmental
offer is fiscal cnnrol. which implies
doininionism. for Ireland outside the
six northern counties, and, unless spe-
cial provision ismade to the contrary
it is believed likely to prove the
strongest lever for forcing Ulster to
join with the southern parliament.
The prospects. so far as actions may
be judged, are not disconcerting to
the northern cabinet.

UPHOLDS LONE OAK SPECIAL
ROAD DISTRICT
Circuit Court Decides Road District
Organization ID Legal.

Circuit Judge c. A. Calvird has
rendered an opinion in the case of
State OF Missouri ex Inf. VS.. H. N.
Harper ct al, in which he upholds the
legality of the organization of the
Lone Oak Special Road District and
the right OF the district to levy and
collect taxes. Attorneys tor the menu
bers Of the Usage township board
state that an appeal will be taken from
Judge Calvird's decision.
The suit was quo warranto pro-
ceeding brought on behalf of the
Usage township board and citizens
within the district to test the legality
Of the organization of the road dis
riot and its right to levy and collect
taxes within its limits.
1t was the contention of the plain
tiff that when the petition for the or
ganization Of the district was amend
ed by order of the county court and
the boundary lines changed from the
lines prescribed in the petition, that
the order established a district on
other and different lines without no.
tice to parties affected and was void
and that the court acted without juris-
diction to establish a district differ
ent from that petitioned for without
due notice. 1t was further contended
that road district cannot levy and
assess taxes within the limits of in
corporated towns.
The district includes the fourth
ward of Butler. all of the city OF
Rich Hill and pats of Mt. Pleasant,
Lone Oak, Pleasant Gap and Usage
townships.
The case was heard at the May
term and taken Under advisement by
Judge Calvird.

UR1cH WINS
The Locals Had an Off Day and the
Visitors Had Little Trouble
Winning Sundays Game.

The Butler bal! team lost a poorly
played game to Urich Sunday after
noon by score of 4 to o. The home
boys were badly off their stride and
the Urich boys by taking advantage
of every misplay of their adversaries
worked four runs across which were
enough. 1t was an unlucky day for
the locals. They started off like win
ners, getting two hits in both the
first and second innings, but double
plays killed their hopes and they
never had another chance. Kersh-
ner, who was in the, box for Butler,
looks good. He let his opponents
down with four hits and demonstrate
ed that he was good fielder by get
ting seven assists,
Urich's first run came in the third
inning. Fisher singled and went to
second when wild pitch got away
from Luscombe: was sacrificed to
third by Peters and scored on
Stewards single. They got three
more in the ninth on a combination of
three errors, sacrifice. and a two
base hit.

Other Nations and the Bonus.

palled and somewhat dazed by the at
titude of the national congress in re-
pudiating the moral obligation of the
richest country on earth to show
gratitude to her soldiers in the late
war, 10000 former soldiers of Mis-
souri, are looking eagerly toward Au-
gust end to see if the voters of Mis-
souri, will show a spirit of gratitude
by voting YES" for the proposition
to award an adjusted compensation of
ten dollars per month for each month
of service, or will reject this obliga-
ton.

Second Sales Day a Big Success.

The second sales day put on by the
Butler merchants Wednesday was in
every particular success. Buyers
were on hand as soon as the stores
opened their doors in the morning
and the bargains advertised went
fast. At the TING OF going to press It
appeared that the day was a bigger
success than the first one. Despite
the heat and dust many drove from
the most distant parts of the county
and were we'll repaid as the bargains
offered by the business men of the
town were real bargains and not shop
worn goods marked down.
The sales day seems to be an insti-
tuition that has come to stay and it is
planned to have at least one every
month.
