he found about dozen couples gliding
over the waved and polished floor of
Maxwell's Hall to the delicious melody
OF Strauss Waltzes. After this the
regular order of dancing was begun, and
many and intricate were the round and
square dances INDUCED in, the most
prominent being the Schottische and
Polka quardrilies, the Centennial and
Lawn Tennis Lancers, the Pollacco,
Plain Quadrile, and innumerable round
dances.
The pleasant little affair was kept up
until near midnight when the party re-
tired TO their homes after congratulating
each other on the success of their even
ing; the ladies thanking their escorts for
their kindness and enterprise, and every
one agreeing that by all odds, impromptu
sociabes are pieasanter and more de-
lightlui than those talked of beforehand.

Price-JohnSon.

tor, Rev. Mr.. Schouler officiating. The

"Who Struck Billy Patterson -

a correspondent writes:
The identity of the mysterious person.
age who struck Mr.. William Patter-
son" has at last been revealed, and the
famous conundrum which has been agita-
ting the public mind for many long wears
has been solved by the Franklin On. Y.
Register, which says: 81 Mr. Patterson, of
Baltimore, father of Madame Bouaparte,
was IN Franklin looking after some prop
erty, when a general row occurred, and
i'll the confusion some one struck Mr..
Patterson Il tremendous blow. This so
angered him that he walked through the
crowd, crying out i'll stentorian tones,
Who struck Billy Patterson ." He
was very powerful man, and no one
cared to accept the responsibility. The
inquiry soon passed into by-word. But
the original Billy Patterson pursued the
inquiry with astonishing vigor, and died
leaving clause in his will directing his
heirs to pay $1,000, to any person who
would reveal the name of the man who
struck him. The fight occurred in 1888
Just one hundred years ago-and now
that the personal wrath of Billy Patter-
son may be assumed to slumber at last,
an old lady Of Ath3l, n. Y, writes to
the ordinary of Franklin county, claim
ing the $1,000. She says that her father,
George w. Tillerton, often spoke of the
fight, of the blow he gave Mr.. Patterson,
and of that gentleman's fierce anger.
The thumb of his hand, she says, was
disjointed by the blow and SO injured
that it was afterwards useless.
The baltimore Sun of Thursday says
A gentleman who often delves among old
records the other day came across an old
record book in the Orphans Court con-
tanning the will of VIM. Patterson. one
of Baltimore's great merchants in genera
tions past, and the father of Betsy Pat
terson, the late Madame Bonaparte. The
will, on paper now musty with age, still
can be easily read. The Sun goes on and
gives item by item the numerous be-
quests made by deceased, but not a word
is said of the row at Franklin, or of the
testator's desire to discover.the identity
of the person who struck him, neither is
there any bequest made for the purpose
of prosecuting the search, so that we
fear after all that the above statement of
our correspondent is hardly founded on
solemn fact.

Raccoon Ford, and which was used AS picket
head quarters by the Union forces many
times. Those of our readers who We're
members of the Army of Virginia will re-
member this building. \ federal officer was
once shot by IA picket upon the other side of
the creek while sitting quietly upon the
porch of this house. 1t WAS afterwards
burned. Mr.. England has rebuilt this house
and now resides in il. He is Post Master At

SENSIBLE sEDow1cKERs.

The democrats of Sedgwick county
met in convention at Wichita last Sat
urday and nominated county ticket to
be voted for this fall. The convention
also adopted the following pointed and
appropriate resolutions, which should
be read and remembered by every DEM
Ocrat in this county:
Resolved, by the democrats of Sedp-
wick county, in convention assembled.
That the election of Governor Click
was an instruction to the legislature To
resubinlt 70 the people at the ballot box
the prOhlbltOry constitutional amend
ment and the refusal of the legislature
TO comply with that instruction was a
Migrant disregard of the wishes of the
people; that time continues to demon
strate the folly Of prohibition and the
necessity OF its speedy repeal: that we
are in favor of a license law as the best
means of regulating the traffic i'm intoxi-
eating liquors; that we are opposed to a
protective tariff and in favor of tariff
Tor revenue only; that we favor an hon.
est administration of county affairs and
a reduction of taxation to the correct
amount consistent with the public
good.
Resolved, That the administration of
Judge Harris as judge of the Eighteenth
Judicial district has been one of credit
and honor and ability To himself and
has given greatest satisfaction TO the
people of the district.
Resolved, That we commend his can
didacy for an election To the favorable
consideration of the people IF the dis
trict, and indorse him as a candidate for
this county.

matter if stockmen are driven out, the
country will be full of people, and the
Cresset argues their patronage can be
relied on.
This paper did not dare speak out on
the Texas fever cases until everybody
had expressed themselves and public
opinion was all one way; and even now
it is difficult to tell whether they favor
the prosecution Of the parties who drove
cattle here. That paper is so afraid of
hurting the feelings of some one Of
whom it has always had such a high
opinion.
The Cresset has openly favored a
compromise with the parties who hold
the thousands OF dollars o. fraudulent
bonds issued against tins county, when
it we'll knows the people do not favor
any such compromise. BY advocating
such a measure it is but encouraging
the holders Of the bonds to demand dol
lar for dollar for the worthless paper
they hold.
The only unchanging policy the Cres-
set has followed has been the policy of
gain. It's creed has been to encourage
people to come here that they may
spend their money in proving up on
worthless claims. Their ideas on pub
lie questions have been moulded to suit
their idea of public gain.
The INDEX has been indeed an index
to the important questions of the day.
We have stood by stockmen's interests !;
argued against this county as an agricul-
tural region; we have not encouraged
men to leave good farms and come here
to be financially ruined by drouth;
have opposed allowing diseased cattle
being driven in here have discouraged
ole ing a high compromise on a debt
saddled on US by fraud and the most
damnable rascality; we have favored
collecting fines from the liquor sellers
and have opposed special and exhorbi-
tant taxes.
We have worked for the people now
here, without regard to the effect it
might have on those desiring to come
in the future, and at all times the INDEX
will continue to be a representative pa
per of StOckmen now here; will oppose
overstocking ranges and above all
things will hope that people who expect
TO make specially of agriculture will
at least wait until it is settled so that
they can live and prosper here.
