Mr.. N. E. Stevens, correspondent Of
the Leavenworth Times, and Mr.. Hess,
the new correspondent of the Topeka
Commonwealth, called on us last Mon
day. Both gentlemen are creditable rep.
resentahves of able, progressive papers.

ing if the Opera House can be obtained

menco playing here next Thursday
night. They have engaged to play three
nights. On the first evening they vii!
play "Damon and PythIas." This pop.
ular, troupe needs no recommendation

ways well patronixed here.
Hon. D. B. Long, Fish Comm ission.
er, in letter to the Topeka Common.
wealth, mentioning his deposits of fish,
says that he placed 1000 in the Solomon
near Solomon City 5000 in tho Saline,
near Salina; 1000 IN Spring creek, near
Brookville; 5000 in tho Smoky, at
Ellsworth.
The "Georgla" ministries, which were
not Georgia mlnistrels, performed before
rather o small audience last Saturday
night. The troupe WAS the Lawrence
colored band, and We judge that the per.
Torrance must have been o fraud from
the fact that il is hard to End any one
who will admit that he attended.
The Presidents message does not
effect East or present party affiliations ;
it is intended to give satisfaction to the
whole nation. Therefore, you will now
find time to visit d. & J. b. Whitehead's .,
and then have them lay aside presents
for Christmas. You will surely find
everything you want.
Mr.. Ben Nickles passed through Sail.
M last week on has return from Vicks-
burg, where he Was stationed o. tslc-
graph operator during the prevalence of
the yellow fever. His report of the
manner in which the relief fund Was
managed does not encourage . comma
nifty in contributing very generously.
Last Tuesday . man who Was too
drunk to manage his team and keep on
his wagon seat, fell into the street,
and had his head badly damaged BY the
wagon wheels passing across il. He
was taken to the City Council room
where restoratives were applied. He
then became raving mad. We under.
stand that be is nov all right again.
We state With pleasure, and the fact
Is attested By large jobbing bo7ses east,
that E. L. Meyer, OF Hutchinson, and
o. Seitz, Of Salina. are the largest drug
houses in Kansas, west Of Topska.-I
Hutchinson Interior.
We can 60 one point further. We
believe that these gentle men have -
large drug houses - any dealers vest Of
The Missouri river.
