- The Eldorado House is now receiving re-
pairs. Old benches have been condemned and
thrown aside, and nice chairs take their places.
Messrs. Falls & Kearns understand their bust
ness, and we hear already laudations of praise
and welcome. A large two-story building is
now being added to their crowded house. We
wonld ask the editors of THE NEWS to call
when ye are lOating in this country.
- The livery and feed stable of Lambdin &
Galloway is of very large dimension. 1t is
drawing on its sides.
- Immigrants are coming and settling
among us more rapidly than ever, and causing
great change in property.
= DR.. Weaver, of the firm of Moore & Wea-
yer, of Emporia, was in toWn to-day. He re-
sembles Doc. White of this place very much.
We saw on Friday evening, on the streets
- % II uhhCu he Cual-
lenged the whole town to arrest him. Not a
stir.
j. C. Fraker, formerly of Emporia, bought
NICE stock farm on West Branch Of the Wal

opened with large stock of clothing, boots
and shoes, furnishing goods, hats and caps, in
DR.. GOrdOn's new building, on North Main
STR
rates, and are receiving liberal share of the
public patronage, and bid fair to reap greater
share of public favor. They are worthy young
men and deserving of success.
A gentle tapping, rapping (not at the
door, at the window was heard in our town
this week. The (w) rapper was seen flying
around the corner of the house with billet of
wood after him.
A Wichita travelling she-6ang visited our
town this week.
= We called on DIR. McClaren this week,
and found him to be busy shelving his stock of
drugs. The Doctor is an old practitioner, and
comes to this place highly recommended. He
showed us complete set of surgical instru-
ments with which he is expert in their use.
Strange to say. this is the only well armed ply
stefan have seeus in the southern counties.
The DIR. performed surgical operation last
Sunday by extracting a tumor from the inner
corner of the eye. 1t was as large as a plum

county convention met. A second paper will
be issued at Eldorado next summer.

The stage driver had to abandon the stage be-
tween Eldorado and Wichita, on the west side
of the Whitewater. The stream was too high
for safe fording. The driver unhitched the
horses and swan the raging stream.
- Friday night last we had the most terrific
rain of the season. 1t rained without ceasing
for three hours; the rain falling IN torrents.
- The Walnut is so full that it is overflow
ing the surrounding country. 1t is higher
now than since the great June freshet of June,
1863, so long to be remembered by many of our
citizens.
- If it rains no more the Walnut cannot be
crossed for two days yet. Hence these few
very wet-no, dry lines, will not reach you in
time for your next issue.
= The Walnut should be bridged at Eldora-
do by all means, and so the Whitewater at To-
