feather ruffled.
A square-shouldered colored lady of the
Amazon type of womanhood, living near
the union depot, was called upon Cor a bot
tie Of "somethin' refreshin' Saturday morn
ing. While out filing the bottled efferes-
cent, the customer went down into her till,
lifting even $50 and Ii. out. He probably
got 200 feet the start, making direct for a
north bound train which was just pulling
out but which he missed by about two
jumps. Realizing his perilous predicament
be turned east, disappearing in the corn
fields in the direction of Chjsolm, with the
petticoated avenger close at his heels, with
blood in her eye, screams in her mouth and
more wind than half dozen ordinary sneak
thieves. She called to evrybody but evry-
body WAS enjoying the race too much TO
taking leg in it. The thief, after about
a miles chase, held up, completely bowed,
when the doublcd-starred, she-police lit
down Oh him. He tried TO compromise by
giving up the $50, but it was no go, and the
vender of buttermilk and SIGH, marched him
back with the aid of couple of men who
happened along in the nick Of time. The
dusky maiden said she would have held out
at least two miles more, and We guess she
would.
Tony Bruins telephone is becoming a
source Of great annoyance to that gentleman
and it may come to pass that he will fire it
out of the shop. Yesterday somebody in
the county building rang him up, when the
following dialogue took place:
"Who is that"
''Mar;in, the governor"
"Vei, governor, vat you want!"
"The Idnians have crossed the border, l
want you to take your battery to Caldwell
right off,"

"Say, send shower bath up to my house
this evening and MIX two hail storms and a
| cyclone with it."
"Go to blazes."
"Why, what sort of bath room do you
any other shop in town."
Maggie Richie, wife of Cephas, Richie,
died Friday morning last in this city. Her
sister, Miss Stewart, VINO lives in Topeka,
was notified Of her sickness but failed to
catch the train and did not arrive until it

in this city as a very intelligent colored
woman and is the daughter of Aunty Miller,
one of the Oldest residents of Wichita. She
leaves two little girls and a husband to
mourn her loss. Cephas Richey came to
Kansas in 1861 when he joined the Union

The funeral was very largely attended. Our

beating funeral marches to the grave.

The following preamble and resolutions
were adopted at a regular meeting of Fredo-
MIA Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons,
No. OBS:
Brother Sterling Brewer, though of a fee
BILE constitution, lived out his allotted days
to men, three score and ten years. When
young he gave himself to God in the bonds
of an everlasting covenant and Joined the
NJ. z. Church. Feeling it hisduty 10 preach
the gospel, he Joined the Tennessee Confer
ence and itiperated for some years. Then
because of bad health, he located and en-
gagged in school teaching. In that calling
he did a most noble work. He Joined this
Lodge and made a valuable member. He
was an earnest and conscientious man, and
careful not to engage in anything his God
did not appreciate. He ever approved the
right and opposed the wrong. He loved the
church, labored fol, her good and rejoiced in
her prosperity, spending his life, as nearly
as any of us perhaps, void of offense toward
God and men. For some years he lived in
almost constant expectation of death, feel
ing that, by Gods grace he was ready, and
that he anxiously waited the Lords time.
On the 4ih of April, 1885, he peacefully and
triumphantly died. lie was strongly at
tached to the principles of our order, and
earnest in acting them out. He left a Wild
ow, who doubtless patiently waits the time
when they shall meet to part no more, and
three children who, we believe, will follow
him as he followed his Saviour.
Resolved, That, in the death of Bro. Brew
er, our Order has lost a true and good Broth
en-, the community an earnest and noble
man, the church warm and constant help
er, his family an affectionate husband and
father.
Resolved, That we will fondly cherish the
memory of him and his many virtues,
while we condoIe with his family, we
would encourage them without fear to hope
in God, where promises are great and pre-
eious, and for them.
Resolved, That n copy of this preamble
and resolutions be spread on the records of
this Lodge, a copy furnished the family OF
the deceased and a copy for publication
suitable for distribution, and the Lodge
wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty
days, Key. II. y: BohNEf'

Another Hung jury.

The Jury in the Ransom Morrow
case were charged late Saturday eve
ming, and being unable to agree, were
discharged Monday. They stood at
first seven for aequittal and five for
conviction, but we understand that all
but two were willing to acquit at the
time OF their discharge, but those two
would not agree and said that they
never would. A motion has been
entered for change of venue, on ac-
count of the great trouble in getting
jury, and for the reason that it seems
almost impossible for any twelve men
to agree after hearing the evidence,
such having been the case with three
juries within the past few months.
The probability is that if the venue in
these cases is changed that they will
be sent to Stewart county, as that is
more convenient FOR the witnesses and,
all parties than any adjacent county.

THE County Court clerk advertises
in this issue several vacant lots oppo-
site the court house and adjoining the
Gracey warehouse, to be sold at public
auction Saturday Aug4 o. Before the
great fire of 1873 these lots were occu-
pied by the old Central Hotel and
would furnish one of the finest sites
in the city for new hotel building.
When GAINESVILLE grows to metropoli-
tan importance Second street, from
Main to Commerce, is going to be the
principal thoroughfare of the city, and
those lots will then be centrally loca-
ted, and the most desirable real estate
in town.

BILL JOHNSON, a negro who has
loafed about in the neighborhood of
the Gerhart farm near this city for
more than year, pursuing no means
of livelihood, was brought before
Squire Caldwell Tuesday, on charge
of Yagrancy. The Squire fined him
$40 and costs, which he will have to
work out. We understand that it has
been determined to enforce the. va
grant law very strictly, so the idle
darkies and trifling white men with
no visible means of support had better
hunt job if they would escape SER
vice in Capt. John Osburn's company
of noble road workers.

Capt. Ben f. Egan, the ancient mar

his nautical career On the Minnetonka

her in 1S61-the year the war begun.
He was clerk OF the grand old Armada
when she ran between PaGucah and
Nashville. Poor Linah was always
popular, and loved most by those who
knew him best Manly, generous, inn
pulsive and brave, he was always the
the right man in the right place, ex-
cept when shot down by d-n
