A great many Of our citizens have suffered
from attacks of pains in the bowels within the
past ten days. The cause assigned by some is
the eating of vegetables, but we presume it is
a disorder that shows a tendency to prevalency
in cholera years. The attack is sudden, and
the pain of the bowels very severe. In a few
instances it has been accompanied by purging
and vomiting. No serious results as yet, al
though several of our business men look little
pale around the gills.

During the past week our hotels were some

the fourth night a chambermaid spread down
bunk for him under table on the first floor.
All these changes were taken good naturedly
by the '.man from the trail. but the next night,
when the hour had arrived for retiring, he
walked solemnly to the clerks desk, when the
following dialogue enslled: NJ. Twin you

The 4th Of July passed off very pleasantly,
we believe, i'm Wichita. Business was sus-
pended almost entirely and everybody put in
the day as personal inclination dictated. a
great many spent the day at Greenway's grove.
The dance in the evening was said to have
been the finest and most successful affair of the
kind ever attempted in this place. But after
all, the celebration and observance of the day
was not what we have been used to. nor did it
meet our idea of a fourth. We believe in COM
mittees, speakers, grounds, tables, lemonade
and shooting fiXings-in plenty to eat and in
plenty of time to eat in We believe in the
town raising the money to get the necessaries,
and then sending out free invitation to all the
boys and girls. to all the old folks and babies
living in the country for forty miles around,
telling them to come and be jolly, eat and sing
and listen to spread eagle speeches all day, free
of cost or veXation. If we can't have that
kind of time next year, with six or eight
thousand people in attendance. then we don't
want any kind of a time If Wichita, with all
her prosperity, cannot get up regular old
fashioned 4th Of July celebration, to which all
who live in the surrounding country can be in
yited, we think it pity.

We understand from Messrs Stanley and
Dyer that there was large celebration on the
ith of July in Union township, on the Cow
skin, about two miles northwest Of Mr.. Horace
Carpenters residence. Messrs. Dyer and
Stanley speak in high communication OF the
people in that township. and say that the peo-
pie are wide awake and very social, and as a
class equal any neighborhood in the state Of
Kansas for intel igencc, industry and enter
prise. But wh0 peculiarly attracted their at
tcntion was the fact that there are but few
bachelors, the most of tie men having good
looking wives and large families. From the
account given us we infer that Union township
was rather ahead of anything in the county
in celebrating the 9th anniversary of our in
dependence. Everything went off pleasantly
and from the looks of the gentlemen who went
out we infer that they were treated like
princes by the hospitable people in attend
ance. Mr.. Dyer delivered n short address,
followed by MIR. Stanley, and the people ap-
peared highly gratitied on the occasion.

Mr.. Josiah Scott. whose farm is i'll the Big
river valley six miles above town, will. in con-

acres of wheat in a few days. of the yield Of
which report will be furnished this paper.
He says the question as 70 this being good
wheat country is settled in the affirmative.
He thinks that the best mode of seeding i
with press drill, running the drill east and
west, so that the prevailing winds will cover
up rather than blow away the soil from the
roots. The press drill gives a very uniform
growth from the fact that the seed is sunk
down TO an even depth.
