Two plain DRINKS was the great rush q
business at the police court Tuesday. The

enough cash taken in to defray current es
penses.

Talk about a free ballot and fair caunt
We heard that four Belva Lockwood cleo
tors were bulldozed out of their votes, Tues
day, at the Third ward. II is too bad tina
full grown American citizens who were per
fectiy willing TO exercise the franchise, wer,
ruthlessly set aside. II is doubtful if Belly,
will ever get there unless we get new set O
supervisors of election.

ing house in the Goodyear block ON Empo-
ria avenue. Several very fine second-clas.
hotels and restaurants have been opened in
the city reco5tly, and now good eccommo-
dations can be had at reasonable rates. A
good deal of complaint has been made in
this connection during the past year, it be-
ing impossible at times to get bed in the
city.
Never in the history of this or any othe,
city has an election passed of so quietly as
tina, Of Tuesday. Everything went as smooth
as clock work. Not ah angry word wal
spoken and the utmost harmony and good
feeling prevailed throughout the day and a,
night From the opening to the closing Of
the polls large crowd surrounded each
polling booth but not sign offs quarrel
nor an angry word occurred.
The Beacon folks got bad scare Tuesday
night There was such a lerge crowd in the
room that the upper floor partially gave
way. sinking about one foot. The floor oil
the g. A. II. Hall also sunk some and the
crowd rushed out, all coming into the EAGLE
office which was density packed, with crowd
OF anxious people listening 20 the reading Of
the dispatches.
Yesterday morning two tramps succeeded
in getting away with a pair of boots from
The front Of Israsl's store, on Douglas ave-
nue.. Subsequently they were seen in an
alley trying thlDshoes on, and Dan Parks
was put on their track with instructions TO
watch them, expecting to catch them at
some other thieving last night. These fell
lows were evidently not aware that this city
is getting to be hot for tramps and thieves,
else they would not deem it healthy place
for such as them.
Jesse Ask was pretty badly doubled UP
yesterday. He had been up all night assist
ing at the second ward polling place and
nature being thus under strain, chronic
case of hernia was revived. For some time
the pain was intense and the case looked
dangerous, but medical assistance being OBJ
tanned the danger was overcome and though
the patient is still quite unwell, the case is
under control and gradually improving.
The new addition to the City hotel will be
ready for occupancy next week. The pro-
prietors intend furnishing it in first-class
style. When it is all fitted up completely
and furnished, il viii compare favorably
with any house in the city.
A eommodious addition has been built to
the residence of Judge Hill, on the corner Of
Lawrence avenue and Third street. We un-
derstand that il is the intention of Mrs. Hill
10 take lin ted number of bosrders- Those
who succeed in getting located in this new
and frst-ciass boarding house will indeed be
fortunate.
We were pleased to see Mr.. Henry Israel
on the street yesterday. He has been down
with malarial fever for the last eight weeks.
He was living in kingman when he was
taken sick. Two other young men that
took sick at the same time and with the same
disease have since died.
The faces of defeated candidates were so
long YESTERDAY that the BARRIERS thought it
no more than right TO charge them twenty
Eve cents for shave; they can console
themselves in view of the fact that their
heads have become SO contracted that they
can get their heads shaved fos ten cents.
They haven't the big-h to any great ex-
tent, anyway.
Mr.. /. Webster, who is the agent for the
Lamar nursery, Of Lamar, Missouri, and
who has been taking orders Cor some time
past for fruit and ornamental trees from this
popular nursery, yesterday received two car
loads for delivery TO his customers. The
trees ofall varieties OF fruit were done up
in bundles, holes or trenches were dug in
the ground, the trees placed therein and the
roots covered with earth. The trees are
healthy looking and have splendid roots.
They are two years old and stand seven feet
high. They, both body and branches, have
been made by the knife. In every particu-
lar it is a most splendid invoice of fruit
trees and the large sales demonstrate the
popularity of the firm from which they came
and the agent who handles this famous line
Of goods. They can be seen upon the va
cant LOT opposite the fremont house.
Mr.. J. r. REYNOLDS, of Goddard, was in
the city Yesterday and expressed surprise
at the news that Blaine would probably car
~ New York. Mr.. REYNOLDS spent about
two months in that state last summer and
Travelled about good deal in the rural dis
tricts. When he got back TO Wichita he
told reporter of this paper that, from what
he had gathered in conversation with per
SONS who were generally regarded as good
authority, that the state would go for Cleve-
land br large majority. he also said that
his cousin, whose business took him all over
the state. expressed the same opinion, al
toough Republican.
The rivalry in our photograph firms seems
TO be at white heat. Very often new pictures
appear in one case, WHICH invariably meets
with a response from the other house. One
puts UP a new case and the other does the
same, the public enjoying the contest all
the time as they get the benefit of viewing
the handsome productions in art that are
turned out from the hand of the artists.
These two places on the avenue are fayorite
spots for pedestrians TO stop and spend few
moments, enjoying the nicely executed and
handsomely finished pictures that are always
to be found at these gallerys. The race is
nip and tuck, it being difficult to make 9
decision as TO who has the lead. The work
of each and both is of high order Of merit,
and worthy of the artists of the large cities.
From reliable source it is learned that a
project is on foot TO extend the line Of street
car railway south on Lawrence avenue to
Zimmerly's addition. 1t is proposed to
push this enterprise so that on or before
January LIST, 1884, the cars will be running to
point quarter of mile south of the w.
&W. railroad at its junction with Lawrence
avenue This win be a very great convent
ence to the residents of all that section Of
the city and will, besides, enhance the value
of lots and property in that vicinity and es-
pec;ally win that be the case with that land
lying joining the quarter adjacent to the
line Of road. That quarter seems at present
TO be one of the favorite building localities
of the city, and this road will no doubt give
tia big boom.
A new plot Of eighty acres Of ground
known as tn. "Chautauqua addition to
wichita has just been laid off and placed
upcn the market Cor sale. This is a very
pretty piece Of land, laying high with a
slope, is on the city side Of College HILL, and
on the north side Of Douglas Avenue. There
was eighty acres in the piece, and though
the books were just opened two or three
days ago forty-fve acres are already dispos-
a Iar. Al
