A BARBER BATrEzED.

A row occurred in George w. Smiths
barber shop on East Douglas avenue yester.
day evening, in which Charley Crenshaw, q
colored barber who runs 10 cent chop on
the opposite side of the street, received an
ugly cash on the back Of the head. The
cause Of the trouble as told by Mr.. Smith
and his men, was that Cfenshaw came into
his shop with a razor in his hand and made
an attack upon one of his men who had
been working for Crenshaw; that the man
knocked him down and he fell upon the
razor and was cut. Investigation however
shows that it is not that sort Of cut and
the colored man has different tale to tell,
which is coroborated by witnesses. His
story is that the man who struck him, came
here from Kansas City few days ago dead
broke and obtained work at his shop.
That he bought him suit OF
clothes and then he left him and went to
work for Smith. He, Crenshaw, went to
Smiths shop and wanted the man to come
back and work out what he owed him, when
Smith ordered him out. He was going out
when the man struck him with steel knucklea
or something of that sort. The doctor says
the wound was made by some dull instru-
ment and two men who saw the affair and
heard some plans concocted against the col
ored man corroborate his story and said he
heard the other man say if that niger had
more money he would beat him out ola $40
suit. One man who was around the shop
tells some hard things he heard and says he
will swear to them, which, if true, don't
speak very well for some of the boys about
here

ANToGNIE MARTINELLE
WANTED FOR HORSE STEALING

John Bowers was being looked for by
officers from Missouri, yesterday, but il
vain. Bowers had been in this city nearly
two years during which time be has beer
employed in the Santa Fe yards, and more
recently engaged in keeping a restaurant on
Doughlas avenue. He was short time age
suspected Of "shoring the queer" and foi
that was spotted by the police. Recently
he left here and it is said is now in Fort
Scott. The offense for which John Bowers
is asked TO answer is that of horse stealing,
and it is alleged that while in Missouri he
hooked on to team of horses and emigrat-
ed to Kansas. He had a partner who was
engaged with MIN in the transaction who
was epprehended and convicted, while John
Bowers was basking in presumed security in
Wichita. The reporter did not learn how
his whereabouts became known 10 the auth
critics, but they came here in quest of him
but John had skipped in tine TO avoid the
unpleasantness Of meeting with old
Missouri friends. While here Bowers con-
fidentially impaired statement TO the effect
that he took the horses but said he had
traded for them and that the party with
whom he traded had demanded the horses
back on account of the consideration having
failed. Bowers is about 20 years of age and
halls from Indiana.

THE ITALIAN MURDER.

Six papers have been found since the
murder of the Italian which are identified as
being copies of the oae which he presented
when applying for aims. 1t is now certain
that he had companions plying the same
business and they either had the papers in
keeping or took them from his baggage
after be was murdered. 1t is more than
probable that his companions murdered
him for bis money and afterwards tried to
dispose of the papers. At any rate, the
papers were found and identified as the
same used by the murdered man. The fol-
lowing is the contents of the paper and the
other five are copies of it. excepting in one

THE oERnAn SCHOOL

There is one institution Of learning that IL
Of real consequence in this city, which u
not as well known as Il ought to be. We
refer 10 Mrs. Alber.ina Dreshaux's German
school, in Woodman's block. A reporter
visited this school yesterday and found thir-
ty pupils in attendance. A half-hour spent
listening to translations from English to
German and from German to English, also
an examination of the pupils manuscripts
convinced the reporter that the teacher was
not only competent, but was thoroughly
practical instructor. It was indeed interest
ing to hear children from 6 to years old,
take up book and rattle off a page OF read
ing in German, and then read the same As
readily in English, and it made no difference
whether the piece selected is printed in
English or German, they handle it with
equal ease and fiuency. This school is Of
the first importance. The Germans we have
always with us, and the German language
must necessarily be an important part Of
even common English education. Mrs.
Dreshaux is fine classical scholar, and a
thoroughly practical teacher.

PRETTY PROFITABLE PRAIRIES
God Smiles Upon the Happy Valley.
In Infinite Waves the Emerald Bill
lows, Like Ocean Sweils, Roll
Away Under Skies of Blue.

Like bride whose new relations in life
have developed and rounded her out into
perfect and glorious womanhood, SO the spirit
of untiring civilization with careful hands
has transformed the untamcd beauty Of our
valley into what would be an artistic finish
but for a very profusion of richness.
Ye men of business, who never let up; We
men of profession who never get outside OF
your dingy ofiicesl this is the month of
June. Kansas in June is in her glory. God
smiles on the Happy Valley all through the
long days of June. Go take your wives
and little ones, and swing out over the
prairies if you would fall in love, anew,
with the grand heritage. Go by rail or car
rage, in any way, by any road, and the ride
will afford you the same delightful result.
What transformations, what revelations
will greet your eyes in all direc-
tons. The great wide monotonous
prairies of ten or dozen years ago are no
more, but in their place are empowered
homes, bearing orchards, broad fields, beau
tiful groves and silvan pictures which were
only dreamed of ten years ago. In infinite
waves the emerald pillows like ocean swells,
roll away beneath sky as deep and blue as
ever canopied the vale of Cashmere. No
softer breezes ever stirred the groves OF
Eden than the free midsummer winds that
undulates the lilni.less verdure of this va
ley The long lines of rustling maize, inter-
secting each other at right angles with mathe-
NAUTICAL precision, leaving little squares OF
mellow brown earth just freshly stirred by
the bright plow-shsre and left shaded only
by nodding blades; the hundreds of cat fields
brilliant silver sheens shimmering in the
sunlight, relieved and heightened in
beauty by hundreds Of golden
squares Of wheat now white unto
the harvest; the quiet grazing herds upon
numberless rounding knobs, enjoying that
contentment so productive of profitable fat
the rich foliage of thousand orchards and
groves glttering in the bright sun as if each
and every leaf had been dipped in white
melted wax, and running through all this
expanse,-which lars at your feet like a
vast checker-board with homes and herds
and villages for pawns,-as threads of silver
the low-banked streams pouring their silent
waters into the broad sweep of the weary
wanderer that winds in and out from horl-
zon to horizon, you viii be led, with US, to
exclaim, surely God smiles upon this Happy

WICHITA FOR A DIsINTEREsr TED STAND
POINT BY A SHARP OBSERVER.

We were in Wichita last Sunday for the
fret time in year and were surprised at its
growth which IL extraordinary in the direc-
ton OF solidity; phenomenal in actual de-
velopement Our people were never jealous
of Wichita and it is therefore possible for us
to speak of it from disinterested stand
point From our knowledge of Kansas
towns We are prepared to say that there
was more trade and traffic in Wichita last
Saturday than there was in any town in
Kansas on the same day; there were more
people on the streets who did not reside in
Wichita than there were in Topeka, EN-
pora and half cozen smaller towns; there
we're more transcient people at the Wichita
hotels on Sunday than there were in Atch-
inson, Topeka and Leavenwerth on the same
day; and there are more houses being built
in Wichits than are being put up in the
three towns named above.
The metropolis is coming to be railway
center. distributing point and an inviting
place for manufactures. 1t has had its
mushroom growth and its years of despond-
ency. 1t is out of its archaeological.
Solid brick blocks are taking the place OF
the old wooden frame buildings. The pea
nut stands, the restaurants and the saloons
have disappeared, and wholesale establish
ments have appeared in their stead. And
then Wichita is city Of homes. The
street railways denote business prosperity
Its water works, gas and other city ad-
juncts, signify stability.
There are probably fourteen or fifteer
thousand people living in this wonderful
metropolis, and they look, as a rule, a.
though they had come 10 Straightforward

give them more room than is occupied by

is better, he needs IT all for his rapidly ex-

A CANNING FACTORY ASSIGNS
The following explains itself:


Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.
MADISON, Ind, June 16.-The Madison
Canning factory, being financially embar-
raised, to-day made an assignment to VIM.
II. Colgate, for the benefit Of creditors.
The firm is composed of Fred w. Hablisel
and G. o. Page. The assets are claimed to
be nearly $4,000, but it is not believed that
more than $4,000 could be realized. The
latter sum would probably cover the liabil-
tiles, which are placed at Sl8,0 900 to $4,000.
The banks here are the principal sufferers.
This is the concern that thought to grab a
bonus Of $4,000 in this city, and which our
neighbor across the street was so badly
mashed on as to take us to task for having
published an article rejecting somewhat
upon that concerns style of doing business
and in opposition to buying ont any manu-
featuring or other institution not having any
interest in this city, and now Mr.. p. V.
Healy says that Madison man who was
here after Mr.. Page had cast his hook in our
waters, and before Mr.. Hablisel's arrival,
said that the Madison Canning factory would
soon fail, as they had run one season with
out any peaches and one season without any
vegetables. Another case of 81 told you SO. "

THE BEST QUARANTINE.

1t is n well known fact that with gen.
eral favorable condition of the atmosphere
not understood, and favorable conditions al
ways found in filth, and deeaying animal
and vegetable matter, that cholera does not
require any importation from foreign coun-
tries where it is raging TO make it prevalent
and fatal. In 1854 its first appearance in
the United States was in Chicago. In 1873
while eastern cities were healthful, it dropped
down in sporadic cases at Cincinnati. The
way TO quarantine against cholera is to re-
move all the local causes in which the d.
sease can find a habitstion, drink pure wa
ter, and eat wholesome food. 1t is an cpl.
demic and not contagious disease. For
its prevalence keep constantly in remem-
brance that il is not dependent upon per.
sonal contact with persons infected with the
disease, but upon the carnations from tho
sources mentioned. An open sink in the
kitchen, foul closet, cellar with decayine
vegetables, bad sewerage connections, are
all in the class of age IS for the dread
scrouge to find footl ID. Wise people
will take note of such facts, and by precau-
tons easily taken, and by small expense for
disinfectants, will invite health instead Of
pestilence and death into their homes.
