Ohio election 10 that tho majority
for Foster will be in the neighbor-
hood of 80, 900, and that the Repub-
Ecans will have 13 majority 10 the
Legislsture. This will place Allen

THE STATE SHOOTING TOURNA.
MENT.

The Tournament closed last Sat-
lrdaY, and Notwithstanding the un-
favorable weather which somewhat
interfered with the attendance, We
may consider it to have been o grand
success. The atten dance on Thurs.
day last was very large. Capt. b.
gardus and son made fine exhibi.
lions of their skill. and performed
everything they promised to do.
During the exhibition q heavy
shower came up, and ladies and gen.
tlemen scattered in every direction
for shelter, though generally with
ont success. In the evening the
sportsmen gathered ssd in tens snd
twenties shot of their shot guns
which we're 'loaded With sockets"
The display in the uppe: sir was
very 6ne. Under tho direction of
Capt. Bogardus An illuminated bal.
loon was sent up from the Pacific
House.
The sportsnen we're all we'll
pleased with SaIins and her people,
carrying with them the pleasantest
secollections Of the tournament.
Mr.. Willis kesler, the life and
soul in the management ofthe affair:
Is entitled to the greatest credit. He
worked night and day for its sue
cess, and exhibited wonderful exec
ative talent. He was very popular
with the spOrtsnen as he is with all
others. Mr.. NJ. Greeley seconded
Mr.. Kesler's efforts with great eIer-
gy and tact, and sho wed himself q
hero in every respect.
Following this will be found the |

1t is the rule. rather than the exception,
that ambitious towns of the west groan under
burdensOme debt and high taxes. The anx-
iety to spring suddenly from town on paper
to city, in all that word means is the rock up
on which many young places shipwreck. The
instances are almost innumerable where such
overreaching has resulted in necessary repu-
diation. Street improvements, railways, wa
fireworks. gas, grading, and so on and SO
forth, have ruined many a well-to-do county
seat. Wichita has figured the matter differ
emily. Councilman Charles Schattner, the
Chairman Of Finance, informs us that our
plueky little city is practically out Of debt.
