SALIsDuRY.-It was only a gentle row.
To be sure one man received two severe
bruises upon the face and terribly hard
blow upon the back Of his head, and an.
other was pretty nearly used up, but
wasn't it done while gently working their
way up to the polls? Then, what if
these young men did knock around rath-
er carelessly among the peaceabc citizens
didn't they have good reason for it?
Wasn't there rum enough in them to
cause emotional insanity? And be-
sides their progress to the polls was i'm
pcded by an old invalid cuss who stop
ped them to inquire if they were legal
voters. Who could endure such re-
straints?
Mr.. Andrew II. Page of Burlington.
formerly of Salisbury and Brandon while
riding in Winooski, last Tuesday, was
suddenly taken very i'll. His condition
was noticed by persons standing near and
he was carried into a store near by where
he died almost instantly. His residence
in Burlington covered several years, dur
ing most of which time he was engaged
in the manufacture Of soap. He was a.
bout fifty years of age and at the time of
his death he was living with his second
wife, who, with four children, survive
him.

A. BUCKNER, p. E
j. +. NEssLEY,

Rev. j. T. Hanna, at the N. L. Church.
Sabbath evening last, gave scandal-mongers Of
this town well-deserved swinging. Long.
loose tongues are the bane of modern society,
only tending to ruin faith in humanity,
weaken morality and destroy the defensss OF
virtue. He who lends his countenance to
small talk and whispered suspicious, is not
only an enemy to higher civilization, but the
foe of chastity and religion-a communicating
leech that but clings to kill. To such extremes
has this thing run in Wichita, that mere chill
dren have become loose in their Thoughts
and talk, and anything but decorous and cir
cumspect in their intercourse with their ell
ders. Young men and young ladies condo
scend TO hint at scandals in their social inter-
course. There must be peremptory frown-
ing down OF this thing, or we will have blasted
lives, ruined households, and gray hairs going
down with sorrow to the grave. This item
should furnishes food for reflection, not only
for our ministers, but for every father and
mother in Wichita.

Anxious yet hopeful have we been touching
the watermelon question for weeks. Papers
in different localities throughout tho State
commenced some weeks since to announce the
weight OF their big melons, ranging all the
way from twenty-five to forty-four pounds.
The latter weight was produced in Butler
county, but our time has come to crow and
the Arkansas Valley is now heard from. Mrs.
c. A. Fitzgerald brought Us aperfsct and ripe
watermelon last Saturday which weighed
fcrty-eight pounds, down weight. That beats
the State Of Kansas, SO far as heard from.

EAGLES article on wheat growing in the Ar

Our county clerk, John Tucker, informs us
that George C. Lord, OF Cincinnati. has gained
his suit for $4,000 interest on bonds against
SedgwIck county. This is not the last of this
business. In our opinion there Is no law or
justice in holding Sedgwick county for some
thing she has never got and the benefits of
which are being enjoyed by another county.
1t is high-handed swindle sustained only by
pettifogging tricks and techncalitics of law
and evidence.
