SATURDAY pipb, will be Remembered by

Saturday night will be remembered BY q
number of citizens Of the First ward, from
the fact iha. the boys were out. It will
hereafter be known as the Raid of the
Kids" who carried off gates ard post caps;
rearrsnged chicken coops and dog houses SO
that the owners scarcely knew where they
lived. One citizen went TO bed with very
modest gate enclosing his yard, and next
morning found that he had one Of the most
aristocratic gates in il place. Il was double
storricd, coTnicopied and scolloped all over,
and had been bEiit for mansion. Another
citizen found tina: his back porch was
around on his front side, which deranged the
appearance Of his place so much ths; even
his dog Hector didn't know it. If any small
boys are seen out late in that locality from
now on. they will be looked on with suspic-
ion.
F. Tiffney and James A. Wood, of Jones'
vile, Mich. proprietors of the Tiffney Car
riage works, are in the city. These gentle
men represent a large manufacturing estab-
lishment and have sold great many vehicles
to Kansas dealers and they are in Kansas
with a view of establishing mandatory
at the base of supplies. They believe that
Kansas people during the next few years TO
come will buy more carriages, buggies,
landaus, and buses than any other state in
the union and they are no doubt right in
that deduction, and having heard of the
great city Of the Nile, come to see for them
selves. They readily concede that the place
to do business is to go where it is done.
Following that line of policy or theory
Wichita will, no doubt, be their choice
above all other cities west of Chicago.

By ORDER OF COMMITTEE.
A horse auction on the streets yesterday,
attracted good deal of attention. 4 two
horse team was up for sale and the auction
eer kept the crowd interested by lucid de-
scription of their merits. They were very
large horses, with good harness, but i. can
be judged of their merits of value when it is
stated that horses, harness and the gusran-
tee of the auctioneer only brought bid of
$50.
A great scheme among the Democrats is
for several fellows TO go about the streets
calling themselves Republicans and saying
they would vote for sucn and such Dem
ocrats, thus trying to create the impression
that great many Republicans would vote
for certain Democrats. When the ballots
are counted tonight it win be discovered
that the Republicans are on deck.
