OBITUARY.

LENUEL, infant son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John w. Morris, died in this city on
Friday, the 10th instant, aged years
and 6 days.
He was taken with dysentery few
days previous, which resulted in spasms
and they terminated his life IN less
than a week after being taken i'll.
Little l.. was u bright and beautiful
child, the hope and joy of the doting
parents. In their distressing and heart
rendlng bereaVement-in this hour OF
trouble-the sympathies of the whole
community are extended to them. Only
those who have suffered u similar loss
can appreciate the deep grief of these
sorrow-stricken parents.

Pollard is happy. The chInch bugs
can't hurt brick. The dry weather
does not interfere with them. But the
thing that pleases him most is the peo-
pie are buying his brick as fast as he
can make them. He has just filled q
large bill in Greenwood county. And
now Mr.. SuddOck, of Dry creek, and
I. p Hall, just west of the city, and
Friend Hlnshaw three miles east, are
putting up brick residences, and Pol
lard is furnishing the brick for all OF
them. Several others talk of erecting
new bricks during the season, which
makes p. smile all over his face.

[From another CORRESPONDENT. !

AhAOShCA
FRIEND STOTLER: Looking over
THE NEWS we find no Americas
correspondence, so permit me to write
few lines. All the talk in Americas
now seems to be about claims on the
Kaw lands. To-day David 10y start
ed for Cahola creek with three teams
loaded with an old house to make a
permanent settlement. He has located
just above A. Hinchman's. F. D. 10y
is soon to follow in the same wake.
He has taken up his shanty, but 1 I'M
derstand that some one has "jumPed''
his claim. What will be done I do
not know. The Elder will straighten
matters somehow.
MIR. Allen, from Chicago, has brok-
en- about fifty acres north of town and
is preparing to build q house, and
fence his land Immediately
Mr.. Prichard is also opening q
large farm. He has also purchased Mr..
r. w. Randall's property in tewn and
Is living in 1t.
MIR. Averill, from New Jersey, has
built fine house and barn just north
of town and broken large quantity of
ground.
When we 90 north it looks like
business.
The new drug store is ready for
the masons to plaster.
The postoffice changes master for
mistress to-day. Mrs. Hill takes charge
of the office. It will be kept in her
new building just north OF the place
it now occupies. Success TO the new
post mistress.
1t will not do to put in all of the
''local" at once, so will stop.

FINE RAsPBERRIEs.-Our esteeme i
friend, Rev. A. NJ. AveEill, placed us
under new obligations to him by bring
ing us, the other dayr, two boxes of his
large, richly favored, red, Philadel-
phia raspberries. This was one of the
best treats OF the season, and Mr..
Averill-also Mrs. Averill, for we
more than half suspect that she had q
voice in this kindness-will accept our
happiest smiles and cur most gracious
bow. These were the first of this kind
of raspberries We have seen here.
They are as much superior to the kind
ordinarily aisei rs golden syrup is to
N. o. mOlasses, and We wonder that
they have not been more extensively
cultivated. We trust the " Philadel-
phia'' may come 10 be more popular
and that we shall keep our footing
with friend Ayerill.

Everybody has been wondering why
those blackberries at Morris & Bott-
gers are so large, sweet and juicy,
while nearly all others In market are
small, sunburnt and bitter. In the
first place they are the genuine Kitta-
tinny, the best berry grown. Then
they have been carefully cultivated,
on soil thoroughly mellowed at least a
foot deep. The whole surface was
mnlched early in the spring, so that
while other berries were burnt to a
sole leather color, before they were
half grown, having no moisture in the
ground to perfect them, these have
fully matured, and are rich and lus-
cious as ever, though not so large as
usual. 1t pays to know how to do q
thing, and to do it.

MORRIS 8 BOTTGER BURGLAR
UZEn


MORRIS BOTTGER BURGLAR
On Sunday night last burglar or
burglars piled boxes against the front
door of Morris & BOttger's establish
ment, on Commercial street, and en-
tered it through the large transom
oyer the door. He helped himself to
something over $40 in cash, and cigars
to the amount, in all, of about $3.50.
A man was sleeping in the back room,
but supposing the noise to be caused
by rats did not get up. The key was
on the inside OF the door, and when he
arose in the morning he found it open.
Our night policeman knew nothing of
the transaction.
On Tuesday night we met in the city
Mr.. Kendall, of Usage City, who had a
harness stolen on Monday night, as he
believed, by the same party who broke
open the store. A party giving his
name as Bill Starr, half-breed Next
can, is suspected of both these crimes,
and was arrested at Carbonate on
Tuesday at the instance of Mr.. Ken
dali, and he was here trying to identify
the man. He is believed to have q
partner in the person of hard case
named Blair, who has been lying
around here for some weeks, and who
has been in the hands of our officers.
The circumstances appear to be toler-
ably direct against the two men, as
Blair was peddling cigars at Usage on
Monday. Starr was known to be out
of money at Usage last week, and APP
peared there rather flush on Monday.
He stated that he had made this money
gambling in Emporia Last Friday and
Saturday Sights. 1t looks a little like
these fellows would go to LeavenwOrth
to reside for a season.

SOMETHING ABOUT GOING EAsT.-The
shortest possible route between the Great
West and the East, North and South, is
over the st. Louis, Kansas City and
Northern Short Line. This road has gain
ed surprising importance by reason of
immense expenditures in the last two
years, of over two millions dollars, be-
sides earnings, in improvements of road
way, in re-laying their line with best
quality of new steel and iron rails, on
broad new ties, and by substituting for
ordinary cars, new reclining chair coaches,
elegantly earpeted and fitted, with dress
ing rooms with toilet cOnveniences for Ia
dies, gentlmen and families travelling with
children, acithOut any extra charge. This
line runs six fast express trains between
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, two
more than any other road, and connects
with all the great through lines East,
West, North and South. 1t is remarkably
exempt from accidents by reason OF adopt
ing every modern appliance for comfort,
