ANOTHER YOUNG LIFE GONE OUT.

lion Beard, after long and painful strug-
gle with an insidious disease, yielded the
victory to the relentless foe who knows no
youth, nor age, nor time, nor season. She
closed her eyes quietly night before last at
the home of Jesse Garrett, in this city, and,
to-day there will be, in the little town of
Melvern, in Usage county, consigned to the
cold, throbless bosom of that mother which
never denys, all that remains of her who
was a sweet, patient sufferer, an innocent
child in experience, but beautiful woman
in stature. The knell of this dying year is
also the dirge of bud, in the full spring
time of life, scarcely unfolded. For days
and DAYS her soul, like pure white cloud,
silvered with glory, and floating in the blue
deeps of space, waited for the lingering
breath of heaven that should wait II away
on its voyage to blessed and youth-pre.
serving immortality.
The last few DAYS Of her illness were peace
full ones, finding her assigned and assured.
As the suffering body yielded and her soul
rose superior TO its earthly environments
her real eyes behold loved one who is
now an immortal spirit,and whose name had
once been familiar TO her home and she ex-
claimed, "Love an Tangle has GOMEZ"
lowering for few days between here and
the beyond her mental faculties became won
derfuliy clear and her heart touchingly
tender To her eldest sister, Mrs. Garrett,
she chung with all her powers, at times
quietly singing to her:
20 kiss me ere | sleep, sister,
Opress my lips again"
In the presence of such an ill-timed death
one feels like CRYING out to Fate, what is this
gulf of troubled waters which we call life
that is thus Knocked at and destroyed. But
it is useless 10 grieve that one SO formed in
mind and charms to grace the highest
scenes OF life should be swept away. The
angels watch and ward the good and inno-
cent and to their charge and keeping must
the sorrowing mother and sisters commit
their loved and lost.
''0h, kiss me ere sleep, sister,
Oh press my lips again,
And cease for me TO weep, sister,
I'll soon be freed from pain;
The head you love to hold, sister,
The cheek you gently press,
VIII soon be still and cold, sister,
Nor heed thy sweet caress.

DOUGLAS THE GREAT.

Yesterday a little daughter of DR.. Dean
was driving on north Fourth avenue, her
team of sorrel ponies. The boys in that
portion Of the city are in the habit of hunt
ing and shooting "a the rabbits, that to some
degree infect that neighborhood. They
were INDUCING in this passtime when the
little girl referred to came along; cotton
tail being Just then sighted, was fred upon
and the report from the gun so frightened
her team that one of the ponies INDUCED
in rearing and plunging until IT fell down
in the road. II there struggled so violently
that a single-tree was broken and the ami
nal became entangled in the harness. The
position of the little driver was now quite
critical. and the result might have been very
disastrous 10 her but that there appeared
upon the scene at this critical moment the
courageous figure of Douglas '. Donnelly.
Under the skilled hand and steady nerve OF
this renowned horseman the team was quick
ly unhitched and the irregularities soon
righted. The little miss escaped unin-
iured, and no damage whatever was
done beyond the break before referred TO
and few cratches received by the one
pony. Two men came to the assistance of
the gallant Douglas, and taking the little
lady in their buggy, she was soon safe at
home The team and vehicle were also
properly slowed away in the barn. As
brave and solid citizen Donnelly is q top
shelf article, and il is a great pity that he is
such a rank Democrat
This shooting within the corporation linn
its should be stopped II once by the proper
authorities, or disastrous and possibly fatal
consequences may result from such cases as
that Of yesterday.

BUILDING NOTES.

4 trip through the southern portion of
the city Yesterday disclosed quite a number
Of new buildings besides what have been
spoken Of heretofore. A close tab is kept
upon all building operations that is being
prosecuted in the town, but unless every
section Of il is visited almost daily, there
springs up like mushrooms, houses here,
there and everywhere. For this reason,
having been absent from this portion of the
city for short time, several new houses in
all stages Of completion were noted upon
South Water and Main streets Particular
izing will not be INDUCED in, but suffice it
TO say, that the near approach Of cold
weather does not appear to check operations
very greatly and that a complete review of
the entire city will disclose quite goodly
number of buildings still being erected and
the extent Of this seasons work in that line,
as indicated by the fresh looking houses and
outbuildings Is something astonishing to the
average mind as is also the extent of the ter
ritory now built upon and embraced within
the boundaries of city residences and homes.
The corporation lines do not limit these OPP
erations by any means, the outpouring of
homeseekers having, as it were, stopped over
the edges and soon these lines will have TO
be extended and the coming great city of
Kansas will take one more stride in her ire
sistible march toward metropolitan great

ALL AGAINST CLEVELAND.

The workingmen are opposed to Grover
Cleveland's election because they earnestly
believe that he is their enemy, and the
friend of their oppressors.
Among the virtuous women OF the coun-
try, the great majority are opposed to
Cleveland's election because they cannot
forgive his crimes against woman, or his
keeping his infant son for long period in
poor house, when he was perfectly able to
suppart him in different manner.
The earnest religious men Of the country
are against CLEVELAND because his mode and
habits of life are hostile to all religion and
moral principles, and because his election
would be equivalent to teaching the young
men of the country to take no thought OF
virtue or honor, but &c follow blindly the
impulse of every vicious instinct, and then
expect to be rewarded by promotion to the
highest distinction and the greatest power in
the gift of the American people.
Against such forces as these is it possible
that the attempt to make Grover Clevelrnd
president can be successful!-[New York

General Logan recently received an invi-
tation from hundred and twenty-seven ex-
confederate soldiers of Virginia to address
the voters of the Shenandoah valley at Har-
risonburg, Va. The invitation is signed by
none but ex-confederate soldiers-men who
will cast their first Republican ballot this
fall-and is worthy tribute from brave men
to brave commander of their former enc
mics. The ex-confederacy is not all in the
saddle, and the Bourbon bosses may yet
find to their sorrow that the old dominion
is missing in their lists of states composing
the fancied solid south.

THE GERMAN VOTERS.

The following paragraph from the address
of the German-Americans, delivered to Mr..
Blaine at indianapolis, shows where that
element in American politics stands, and
should be read and preserved by every Ger
man reader:
"Inspired by the love of liberty and free
government, we left the land of our fathers
to find new home in this republic, and,
looking toward the welware of the nation,
we have no interests other than American
citizens. Looking over the pages of history,
we find the Republican party to have been
the party of liberty and progress, and we
trust it to be the same in the future. Upon
the pages we find your name and that of the
gallant General Logan, inscribed with gold
en- letters, and we feel that, as heretofore, SO
you will in the future, do honor to the coun-

BY DoNNEL KENNY.
Again the week.-mrs. ringing, and the Slogans
on the blast,
Over hill and dell and valley 'tis swelling
thick and fast;
Over mountain, moss and moorland, and
meadow, green and gay,
In rural cot and hamlet, and by the city's
way.
And freedoms breath it carries Ger prairie,
food and plain,
And echoes in the civerns where desolation
reign
The joyous shouts of welcome, for Logan
and for Blaine.
The victory is certain, nor else-wise could it
be,
While intellect and reasons the guidance of
the free;
And never was there danger in any land or
time,
Where, knowledge bright, untrameled, was
priced and not a crime;
And never shall fossil, or moss-back, here
again,
Announce hmselfa candidate, to darken and
to stain,
The honor Of nation, that produce such
men as Blaine.
The dudes and all their henchmen look
round IN Wild dismay,
They stagger, reel and stammer, and know
not what to say;
For they hate the toiling masses-they hate
them to man,
And to cover up their enmity they try, but
never can;
And every willy effort is always made in
vain.
with careful reservation) because they all
dsdain
The toilers, and the millions, whose voices
are for Blaine.
And now that we have Topped off the An
glo-dudy bile,
The excressence ofthe party, and the rot of
all the pile,
Twill flourish, grow and blossom, and right
good fruit will bear;
But the pruning process must still 90 on
with jealousy and care.
Fatted. fetid, rotten, INSCRIPTIONS and vain,
What cared they for the people, from
whence derived their gain.
Who see through their crude maneuvers,
Who'll wisely vote for Blaine.
But the slogan swell. and thickens on every
breeze that blows,
And on the evening zephyrs its mellow ca
dence flows;
1t revels in the sunlight, in the mornings
ruddy beams,
Glowing, basking, in the arrows of the sun
sets rosy CLEANS;
Till ii winds up in November, in melting
grand refrain,
And echoes DER the rocky clefls that skirt
the seething main
The grand, triumphant victory of Logan
and of Blaine.

SENATOR PLUMB.

Senator Plumb, we see by the papers,
has arrived at home and will in the few DAYS
left of the campaign, make several speeches
in the larger cities we understand. The
senator was called to Ohio ON the opening
the campaign, and was not permitted to
leave until after the result of the October
election had been declared. In fact he is
recognized as one of the most level-headed,
cool and comprehensive politicians in the
nation. And there is not the least doubt of
it. We wish it were possible for him to be
with MS in Wichita in our last grand rally.

OUBTFUL.

The Democrats of Kansas want to Gust
Ingalls,, and they don't care how they do it.
They have different plans in different coun-
ties. In this and Kingman counties they
are running former Republican, Mr.. Z. A.
Dorsey, but it leaks out at this late date
that the Democrats don't know exactly
where Ed. stands on this question, and they
can't find out. His private personal assur-
ances to the fellows on the one side, and his
sly winks to the fellows on the other side,
has created a general distrust. Ed. better
come out square toed

JUDGE PETERS.

Samuel r. Peters, our member from con-
gress will be in Wichita Tuesday night, and
address the people on the issues of the cam
paign. The judge has been speaking night
and day for almost six weeks, throughout
the district, but our committee have got his
to be here at the time mentioned.
Many of our people have never heard him
and the opportunity shonld not be lost. He
is forcible and pleasant speaker, and his
speeches in congress during the last session
no little attention. Let us give
him grand rally. We hear that Hon.

COLLISION ON THE SANTA FE.

A serious collision occurred on the Santa
Fe railroad night before last at a small sta
ton called WaSarusa, about fifteen miles
West of Topeka The particulars at hand
are as follows: The local freight which
ought to have been side-tracked at this
,oint to let the cannon ball pass ran past
the switch on account Of an oversight in not
turning it. The train ran to the other end
of the side-track, and before it could be
backed 10, the cannon-ball coming in under
a full head of steam ran into the freight
Both engines were badly wrecked and one
of the engineers was badly injured. A bob
tail train of one coach and combination
mail and baggage car WAS sent out from
Newton 20 the scene of the wreck Snd
brought the west bound passengers and
mail ON 10 Newton and those going out on
the Kingman branch were forwarded by the
same train, arriving at this city about lO

OUR FASHIONABLE BOULEVARD.

On south Lawrence avenue, just beyond
the W. d W. railroad crossing, the street is
being put in splendid condition by large
force of worllmen who are there employed
II Is being cut down at the sides, drainage
being thus secured, while the dirt thus
obtained is used in building up the center,
in metropolitan style, SO that when COM
pleted this portion Of our most fashionable
drive viii be on a par with the northern
division Of the street, and then our city will
have beautiful boulevard of nearly or
quite three miles in length. II we now could
but have some sleighing this coming winter,
what a fine drive this beautiful street would
make, and what brushes there would be
between our local steppers on this western
Harlem lane. How the bells would merrily
jingle, and the happy peals of laughter ring
out upon the crisp night air, and the shadows
fit by like spectres in the moonlight. Our
city embraces almost everything that is de-
sirable. Let US order and insist upon hay
ing sleighing. when the proper time comes,
now that we are TO have such splendid
avenue for driving.

SOLDIER, REST.

Another soldier is gone to his final reward
and rest. All of the older residents have
often noticed n crippled man being wheeled
about the streets by an attendant. His name
was Henry Bolick, and his disability, which
was terrible, came of rheumatism and chron-
ic diarrhea contracted in the swamps of
Louisiana while fighting for his country. He
died at his home on Mead avenue Saturday
night, and the poor fellow is at last freed
from a life of daily and intense suffering.
He had been pensioner for several years,
but was SO physically disabled that he never
could be initiated into the order of the &.
A. r., which organization, at his request,
buried him yesterday with soldiers honors.
He leaves wife and six children. Henry
Bolick was born in Snyder county, Tenn,
in MAY 1874, and was, therefore, upwards Of
forty years of age. He enlisted December
Goth, 1868, at Freeport, Illinois, as a mem
Der OF company ID. Forty-sixth infantry, and
was discharged at Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
January Goth, 1865.
"Soldier, rest; thy warfare DER,
Sleep the sleep that knows no breaking;
Dream of battle fields no more,
DAYS of danger and nights of waking"

A RECENT SPEECH BY STEPHEN
A. DOUGLAS, JR.

AT Albany, New York, the other evening,
one of the speakers at Republican rally
was Mr. Stephen A. Douglas, son of the ia
nous Illinois senator of quarter of n CEN
fury ago. He spoke as follows:
In 1864 the Democrats declared the war
failure, and demanded that it be stopped. To
stop the war meant national dishonor and
national death. But the war was not fail
urc-it WAS grand success. / am asked
why am Republican. My father died in
1861, and, as you have said, Mr.. President,
his las, words breathed a request to his sons
to support the constitution. How could a
man be Democrat and support the consti-
tuition in 1864. Applause. have obeyed
my fathers last request and am Repub-
lican. My fathers last request, Support
the constitution" rings in my ears when
think of 1864. If the Democrats had sue
ccedcd in 1864 our country and 81, 600, 900 of
people would now be subjects of Great
Britain, with about as much importance as
one of the South American colonies. APP
p!ause. Is there Democrat within the
sound of my voice who is true American,
who i not glad at heart that the Democrats
were defeated in 1864, and the country saved
and respected? That the platform with its
tariff for revenue only or sort of local op-
ton law was not supported! lApplause.
Are you not glad Of these things? God
takes better care of you than You do your
selves. [Applause.1 During the war GER
tain old gentleman possessed many slaves.
He was happy and content; knew the war
was going on, but did not think it would
amount to anything. One day he was told
his slaves We're free. The news stunned him.
Presently he realized the situation and said.
"Well, what can the good God be thinking
about. Applause. Last fall the people Of
New York state elected this-this gentle
man. Great applause.] l thought, what
can the good God be thinking about But
if Cleveland had not been elected, why, we
would not have so great walk-over this
fall. [Applause.l You see it was a kind
ness to us. Renewed applause.] Is there
anywhere Democrat who does not thank
God that the Republican party was success
full during the country's darkest hours, and
that the Republican party has preserved the
nation for twenty years. Applause, .and
voice "No."l / cali upon Democrats to
leave the party, as it is not the party of JEFF
ferson and Jackson. Come out, all you
Douglas Democrats, come out and leave the
party to die, as it inevitably will after the
defeat which is sure to follow this fall.
Good night. Prolonged applause.1

THE OLD CONDITIONS EXIST.

Ex-Governor Hubbard, of Texas, one of
the worst reconstructed rebels in the coun-
try, is stumping Indiana for Cleveland and
Hendricks. In a speech, delivered a few
evenings ago, he said:
The Democrats of Indiana should take
their pistols with them to the polls, and if
you find United States marshals there-well
l need not tell you what to do if you have
your pistols ready, because you all know
just as well as do what the occasion re-

KINCMAN COUNTY

The Republicans of Kingman county
have been in distracting turmoil, but,
from all we hear, the hearts of the rank and
file beat as true as they ever did to the mu-
sic Of the Union, as true as they ever did for
the great fundamental principles upon
which have rested all the prosperity and
happiness of the American people for a
quarter of a century past. Those who value
peace and continuation Of that prosperity
are not to be led off by the ambitions of in
dividuals. In fact SO far as the senatorial
congressional state and national tickets are
concerned we hear only encouraging words
from Kingman.
