Agra, Kax., Dec. 12 About six months ago three families moved to this township from southern Indi ana, and soon it was reported that a secret organization was being formed in a very quiet way and meetings being held at one of their homes. About a month ago mysterious and threatening notices sent to sev eral persons ail signed "K. D. W. C" No notice v. as taken of them and soon they were again left, this time with apparent finger prints of blood on the envelopes, while the no tices bore a large red cross across the fuce. They gave several persons until a certain time to leave the county, and were signed in full: 'Kansas Division of White Caps.'t But still nothing serious was thought of it. Last Wednesday night about twenty horsemen, each wearing a long white cap, cone shape, com iug down over their shoulders with holes for mouth, nose and eyes, and each body enveloped in a long robe of red with each horse covered with a blanket of black, rode up to the house of a farmer near here. Each carried a water pail, and, hav ing filled them near by, they went to the house of the man who is too lazy to work aud seemed nver to have taken a bath. The door was opened by the man, who had on nothing but an undershirt. They siezed and overpowered him, and, taking him outside, tied his hands and feet and each man deliberately poured a pail of cold water over him, then left him and rode away, leaving a sign with the words printed in red thereon: "Leave tho County. The man went the next day. Monday night the Whitecaps ap peared in a stronger force and visit ed James McDonald, a citizen of this place, who had abused his wife. They took him to a telegraph pole and tied him. A cat-o -nine-tails was then produced and each mem ber gave him two blws. His screams were heartrending. After this the trumpet was sounded and each man mounted and rode out of town on a run. Some of the citi zens who w,ere aroused removed him to his home. He was cut up in a horrible manner and blood was smeared all over his person. There is considerable excitement but noth ing yet done to find the mob.

RICE, M. D. Physician and i2ia Surgeon, Butler, Missouri. Of fice west side square at Crumley & Co. Drug store. Welcome Address, llead by Miss Eena Browning, before the Bates Co. Christian Co-operation and published by request of convention. With grateful hearts to the Father of all righteousness, who has per mitted us to meet to day as one body in Christ, in behalf of the Christian church at Butler, I come to welcome the brethren and sisters of Bates county, not with words only, for in our hearts there is welcome; yea, thankfulness that you are here. Controlled by feeling, then we say welcome to Butler; welcome to our church and our homes. And to those from abroad who have come to help us at the time we so much need help and strength, be cause our work is in its infancy. With heartfelt gratitude we welcome vou. We hartilv welcome all. Our feelings are expressed in the lan guage of the Psalmist, '-Behold how jrooa ana now pleasant it is lor brethren to dwell tog?ther in unity We welcome you, because in co-op eration there is strength; because there is a work to do which cannot be done without organization, and systematic effort; because in Bates Co. there is a work for the Master which neither vou nor I can do; a- ' Butler cannot do it, no one church can; but the work is before us to be done, and we are responsible. If we ba lukewarm the Spirit saith to us, "Thou liveth and are dead. Be watchful and strengthen the things that remain that are ready to die, for I have not found thy works perfect before God." We haye in our county many weak churches. Can we see these churches die and the cause suffer? when by a little effort on the part of each, all may be strengthened till they shine as bright lights, illumin ating the pathway of many souls now groping in darkness; and guiding and strengthening those who are struggling to endure to the end that they may receive ''the crown of life." Only eternity will reveal the value of the work done by united churches. Like a tender plaut that must be watsred by the rains of heaven, and warmed by the genial rays of the sun, and cultivated with careful hands; the infant church must be watered with tears of sympathy, warmed by the sunlight of love, and cultivated with tender care. The zeal thrown into their work will modify the happiness of souls throughout eternity. Can christians be indifferent to such a cause? Earnest work requires earnest ef fort, but he who makes the most ef fort tha Lord will surely most abundantly bless, He has said, "Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure pressed down, shaken to gether, and running over, for with the same measure ye mete, withal it shall be measured to you again." And again He says, "He that soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly' The poet said, "Labor is life! 'Tie the still water faileth: Idleness ever despairetb, bewailetu. Keep the watch wound, or the dark rust as-saileth." Though our efforts to-day seem feeble with comparatively few con gregations represented, yet by our united love, sympathies, prayers, and influence, ourselves will be bleBsed, andwhen Co. organization HAWKS' PAST RF.COKr. The Xstorioa Itirminshaia Munlcrfr Foraierly a Jlissmiriait !hs Wife's Family. Nevada, Mo., Dec. 12. The news of the Hawes tragedy at Birming ham. Ala., and the further fatalities inflicted upon the mob who under took to hang him. have created con siderable interest among the old set tlers of the county because only a few years ago Hawes lived at Dar- field in this countv about ten miles west of here; and during his resi dence there kept a drug store and was arrested upon one occasion for selling liquor in violation of tho state laws and fined quite heavily in the circuit court. A short time after this he went from here to Alabama and nothing more was heard of him until the murder at Birmingham. Hawes was originally from Owens boro, Ky., and married Emma Throckmorton. The Throckmorton were an old aud wealthy family and connected with many other old fam ilies. Collin Throckmorton s wife was a daughter of Zeby Ward, of Louisville, who built the celebrated Gault house of that city aud a sister of Mat" Ward who killed Prof. Noble A. Butler, the author of Butler's Euglish grammar. Governor Throck morton of Texas, was a cousiu oi Collin's. So it will be seen the fam ily was well conuected. Emma Throckmorton was au extraordinary woman and shortly after her mar riage to Hawes on one occasion ran up a shop bill of $2,000 in a single day. When Hawes left here he said he was going to Alabama in the mining districts where he owned land. The Throckmortons also owned several thousand acres in that section. The marriage of Hawes and Emma Throckmorton was bitterly opposed by the parents of the woman. Direct Front the Front. Knoxville, Tenu., July, 2, 1888.
