further subscriptions. . .
The secretary was instructed to
present to each paper in the citv
r 1 1'
copy oi tne proceeuin;;:, ioi
publication, and, on motion, the
, meeting-adjourned.
The arrangements as perfected
already are sufficient to indicate the
magnitude of the celebration. The
grand orator of the southwest, Col.'
Jno. T. Crisp, has faithfully prom
ised to be here. As sure as life and
health are given him he will delight
the immense throng which will gath
er here with one of his masterly ora
tions. Other men of eminence will
claimed only when they say positive
ly that we can depend upon them.
" The two Butler bands are both
engaged, aad the people of Bates
ad surrounding counties know that
fcawfll insure fine music.
-.Two hundred and fifty dollars
worth of fire-works have been or
dered. This is enough to keep
bur men busy from dark until II
o clock and besides some of the pie
ces will be made to order, and be
the grandest ever brought to this
country.
The great industrial procession
has been arranged and those who have
een these displays know that they
re something splendid. These
things are settled.
Every lady in Bates county who is
on the celebration grounds in But
ler on the Fourth of July, will be
presented with a ticket bearing a
number. One of these tickets will
draw a fine $210 organ. The draw
!n2 will be conducted fairlv, and to
the country, the ladies of Butler will
he excluded. The organ has been
purchased with money raised by pri
vate subscriptions and will positively
be given to the lucky lady who has
the winning ticket. Another boom
for Butler's celebration.
Arrangements are bc-sn made to
have a more music ; to have a par
ade by the "Mystic Krew;" to
have a premium offered to the
township, (leaving out Mt. Pleas
.nt)vhich has the largest delegation
present; business houses in the city
uniformly decorated, and, in short,
to have everything that the ingenui
ty and money of our people can de
vise and provide. .Hurrah for our
celebration.
MORE DEVILTRY.
An Attempt at Jlobbery and As
sassination at Chillicothe.
Chillicothe, Mo., June 1 1,2 p.m.
This morning at 4 o'clock, a sup
posed attempt was made to rob the
ticket office of the Hannibal and St.
Joseph railroad at this place, by a
party of negroes, whose depredations
upon public and private property are
becoming to frequent to be much
longer endured by a civilized com
munity. At the hour named a num
ber of these characters had congre
gated at the stock pen, nearly op
posite from the depot, while two of
their number were appointed to be
gin their tievilish work Henry Smith,
night operator, had just opened the
ticket office, which is located about
twenty feet from the telegraph office
and north of the passenger waiting
room., while Fred Tucker, the night
assistant was left in charge of the
instruments. Approaching the door
one of them urged the other, in loud
words, to "go in and sei.d the dis
patch." Entering, he asked one or
two common place questions and
then, with an oath, drew a . revolver
and fired, the ball entering the right
cheek near tbe corner ot the mouth
and coming out back of the ear.
Tucker was seated in a chair at the
time this shot was fired and jumped
to catch the assassin, who ran out on
the platform. Closing the door,
Tucker wheeled around to get his
revolver, and in doing so, was in
the act of raising his right hand to
the wound when the accomplice fired
at him through the window, the shot
taking effect at the second joint of
the thumb, the ball lodging near the
wrist joint and disabling him from
using a revolver. Parties near the
depot, hearing the firing, hurried to
the scene of conflict, which fright
ened the gang away and probably
prevented any further attempt at life
or property. Mr. Tucker is one of
the finest young men in the city, and
his friends, to the number of 100 or
more, including city and county of
ficials, "are in close pursuit of these
thieves and assassins. Tucker's
wounds are not dangerous.
Deer Creek Items.
The weather is fine and warm.
Plowing corn seems to be the order
of the day with farmers.
Wheat, oats and flax look as hue
as I ever saw them at this "time of
year since I have been in prosperous
Bates county. '
Fruit of all kinds will be plenti
ful. New potatoes are abundant.
We are httving a very good school
taught at Big Deer Creek school
house by Mr. Putman. 'We also
have one of the best Sunday schools
in the county. Our house is 20x30
and will not near hold the peop.e
who attend. The superintendent is
Mr. F. M. Nichols.
Politically we are all solid, but
we would like to see some party put
in nomination a straight prohibition
ticket. We would give it a boom.
It is time Missouri was waking ur
on the whiskey question, and why
should not progressive Bates lead off,
as she generally does m every good
work? May it so be. ' T.
Woman's primitive beauty and vigor,
which have been lost, can be restored and
retained by the actionot certain constitu
tional agents! These agents necessarily

' all existing female irregularities and ex
! cesses, or obstructions which produce the
ill health. I he remeu v musi umunu u

blood, strength to th srstem and vitality

males. "
ROBBERS CAPTURED.
The Brookfield Back Robbers- Ran
Down and Captured.
Driven in an Old House They are
Surrounded and Give Up.
A GLORIOUS DAI FOR MO.
Brookfield, June 9. For but one
hour since the raid -was made on the
bank have the robbers been lost
sight ot by their pursuers, and tnen
the trail was quickly found again
and followed till the bandits were
forced into a log hut in the depth of
the forrest about thirteen miles south
west ot Kirksville, where they
FORTIFIED THEMSELVES
and made loop holes in the sides of
the house by knocking out the plaster
batween the logs. From this point
cf vantage the robbers
OPENED FIRE OX THEIR BLOCKADERS
and three horses were shot and two
men hit with bullets, one getting a
ball through the hand whice after
wards imbedded itself into the stock
ot his rifle.
All night long the posse guarded
the house expecting the men to
make a
DASH FOR LIBERTY
under the cover of the n!ght, but no
such attempt was made. It would
have been a solitary failure, for in
the bright moonlight every entrance
or exit to the house was plainly visi
ble to the watchers in the woods,
while the shade of the thickly leaved
trees kept the captors securely hid
den from the prisoners in the hut.
Nothing occurred during the night
and the day dawned with sleepless
men, both inside and ont ot the im
provised fort.
At 6 o'clock this morning, how
ever, the desperadoes called out that
they were willing to surrender, pro
vided they could be guaranteed safe
conduct to the jail. They expressed
themselves as decidediv
AViRSE TO BEING LYNCHED,
and insisted on a fair trial, much
after the style of Capt. Jack in the
lava beds.
After a short consultation the sher
iff announced that the terms of their
proposition were accepted and they
were told to march out with hands
up.
Fearing a ruse the guard was kept
up on all sides ot the house, and a
strong line drawn up in front of the
door and sufficiently under cover to
be safe in case of treachery on the
part of 'he prisoners.
Soon the door opened and the
"man with the long nose" appeared
with hands only partially raised.
The members of the posse had no
confidence in him, however, and a
H-1XDRED WEAPONS CLICKED
as they were brought to bear upon
him. His hands went up high,'right
off. Then the other three followed
him out and the sheriff went for
ward and deprived them of their
weapons. Seven revolvess and two
knives were found.
After some consultation among
the officers it was decided not to
leave with the prisoners for some
time until further reinforcements
could be received, as there is a pret
ty general belief that the woods are
full of armed desperadoes, friends of
the bandits, who will
ATTEMPT A RESCUE
on the way to jail.
The courier who brought this dis
patch from your regular reporter,
who is with the captors in the woods,
states that the sheriff says he will
bring the men here alive if it . takes
every able-bodied ma in the state oi
Missouri to do it.
It is generally believed here that
the posse will meet with trouble, but
they are prepared to make it very
unpleasant for the man who inter
feres. The courier from the camp says
two ot the men gave the name of
Mason, one that of ,Fox, while the
other man refuses to give his name.
He is the man who acted as leader
during the raid.
It is not stated whether the money
was recovered or hot, but particulars
are momentarily expected. "
Reinforcements have left here tor
the scene of the capture and any at
tempt at rescue will be met with
desperate - insistence.
