The Bates county horticultural so ciety met in regular session Saturday at the home of ex-Senator J. B. Newberry, seventeen miles east of Butler. The attendance was very large, about 100 members and guests being present. Dinner was spread in a large natural grove. Mr. Newberry's shrubbery is all trimmed into fanci ful shapes and perfect condition, being a practical illustration of the advantages derived from judicious pruning. Committee on orchards report winter apple crop not above Jo per cent of what was promised a month since, but orchards in better con dition, fruit better in quantity.quaiity and size, with fewer moths than last year. President Rhodes spoke ot the pear, reporting the fruit beauti ful and perfect, showing that there , is no affinity between the appie and the pear, they not suffering from a common enemy. This fact was referred to the Horticulturist tor con sideration as to the advisability ot setting pear orchards. On small fruits J. R. Ilarriman ! recommended the Kiteting blackber ry as fruitful and thrifty and with stands the rust better than any othc variety in his experience. Rust in most varieties is reported bad, many old beds being plowed up. The remedy suggested tor rust was to cut the rust stock when it first ap pears and burn so that the germ may be destroyed. In grape culture sacking was strongly recommended for perfect grapes. Close cutting of old wood also advised. The theory of a poisonous dew causing the grape rot is gaiping cre dence in the society and a three foot board nailed upon the top of each post where the vine is trained has proved a preventative to the rot. Under vegetables cabbage and potatoes only were discussed. Late cabbage is a failure, although a liberal sprinkling of salt and pepper had been used successfully in de stroying the worm. Late potatoes promise lair, early ones fine. Dig and spread upon a dry floor in a dark place is advised for the care ot early potatoes . The committee appointed to col lect and prepare fruit for the Kansas City fruit exhibit report having already sent sixteen varieties to cold storage. The society urge the com mittee to obtain as manv varieties as possible and contest every inch of vantage ground to make Bates the first truit county in the state. George B. Johnson delivered an excellent address on "What varieties of apples shall we plant for profit?" After lourtecn years' experience in fruit growing on light, sandy soil in Bates county, be recommends the following varieties: Summer, Early Harvest, Red Tune, Bononi and Cooper's Early White ; fall. Porter, Maiden Blush, Rambow and Bailey's Sweet ; winter, Ben Davis, Jonathan, Grimes Golden and Lansinburg's ippin. An invitation from J. B. Durand to meet with him on the third Satur day in October was accepted. The September meeting will be held at Daniel Cressap's, near Sprague. on the second Saturday instead of the third, as many of the members ex pect to attend the fair in Kansas City. Summit Township.

Butler can boast of an excellent gun club and we are glad to see them take an interest in getting strangers to come to our town. Horse Thief Captured. Mr. R. N. Wright, living near Burdett, this county, was in the city Monday, getting out the necessar papers to return to this State one Robert Thomas, who in company with a young man named Karly Hardy had stolen a span of horses from him on the night of May 25th, last. The two animals were found near Trov, Kansas, and one of the thieves, Tfooma-, was captured near by at the hou-M of a man named Sam Parker. Mr. Wright got wind of the whereabouts ot his horses and the thief from a letter which had been written by a nun from the abuVe named place in Kansas, to the Burdett postmaster. It seems the man writing the letter found out that the boys that "had stolen the horses were from near Burdett, and suspi cioned that they were stolen and wrote inquiring about them. The postmaster kn.wing Mr. Wright had lost two horses handed him the letter which put him on the track that led to the capture. Prosecuting attorney Jackson, issued the papers and deputy sheriff Beall !ett Mon day night for St. Joseph, where Thomas is confined in jail, and will return with him as soon a he can make the tiip. Thomas when captured made a full confession and told Mr. Wright where he could find hi horses, and m a short time the old gentleman had them, the parties in whose pos session they were, giving them up without any trouble. He is after Hardy and expects to have him be fore long. Later. Tt is reported that Hardy was killed in a cornfield while re-si-; i 112 arrest. A Strange History. In the dim nearly forgotten past a worthy family consisting ot several, it no more, emigrated trom some part of the United States to this county. I presume it was on account ot the sterility ot the soil, enormous burdens incident to that country that this family ot several came west, and that family were the forefathers and foremothersof the following remarks. His name as tar as I can ascertain from all the data before, and some that I acci dentally procured from others is (I with hold the name, you may guess the cir cumstances). Mr, Esq. As to his birth or Dirtn-place all the history ot this country so tar ever written is a dense blank and of distressing silence. As tar as I know by personal observation or experience, he never was born, but the first time I had the misfortune to fix my ardent gaze on his anatomy last Saturday a week ago, he was a right smart humpot a fellow; spelling in one or more syllables in a blue back speller I think. After which he gradually got to spelling more and could read some. In early lite Mr. Esq. devel oped a strong aversion to manual labor, and he still votes on that side otthe ques tion with great firmness., showing hiniselt to be a man to be entirely and implicitly depended upon in this sense; hence he is never involved in labor strikes and such. He has never fully recovered his usual health and vivacity since uniting with the Israelitish church, which event occurred some months since. The severity of the initiating rites greatly unnerved him and caused const dei able alarm among his coolest friends. It is confidently hoped that he will soon regain his wanted health and spirits. One ot the marked charac teristics in Mr. Esq's personal contour is the size and shape ot his head, it having the usual make in front with a rear at tachment of abnormal dimensions which is somewhat fearful for any ordinary man to contemplate. It is a seeming 6ort of rear reservoir to contain thoughts or a sort of caboos to carry extra passen gers or baggage. This protuberance was doubtless built for some wise purpose tor which the world has not yet found out, as no very decided degree of wisdom has ever been displayed by the owner of it. Bui we wi!l let this back varanda of his be it possible and notice that Mr. Esq. is always caretul to take off his lett shoe last and often gazes long and anxious ly into his mirror to see if there is any marked improvement in his phiz. He dotes on good clothes and coaked victuals and can smile in six different languages as the occasion may require. As an author and poet he ranks away up, being the writer 01 the celebrated poem that opens with these lines: O, Balli Dooly, swwt Bailie Dooly, . ,on highest seat we stand, t "'J n mirth and glee CHoir- U m n'1 the committe Me Te.n.w,e,'ri11 Tiew hs convention o'er 7i i their motions for eve more, vA..
