one in the entertainment line.
Lem Brubaker has bought the G. A.
II. Restaurant and is now conducting
the business. We understand that
Mr.. Jones, the former proprietor, will
soon open another lunch room.
"Doc" Wilmington had on light sum-
mer clothes when he called on us
Monday, and looked as though even
they were too warm for him. He will
need his overcoat next Tuesday.
Our stock of hardware, tinware and
stoves, all bought before the advance,
which we intend to sell according
to the times. Our motto is, the best
goods at low prices. Casmire Il Co.
We asked Recorder Duncan for news
yesterday and he replied, "YOu may
tell them that the straight republican
ticket will be elected" We fear that
will not be news to many of our read
erS.
We are indebted to Captain Clinchy,
Of New York City, for late copies of the
New York Sun. The Sun has a spec
ial correspondent at Emporia and pub
fishes illustrated reports of the Walkup
trial.
Mrs. &. Tite has been staying with
her mother, Mrs. Lawyer, and her sis
ter. Mrs. Servey, for short time, to
recruit the health of their little daugh-
ter Myrtle, who has been sick for some
time.
As far as its direct effect on individ-
ual citizens is concerned, the result of
next Tuesdays election Is of more i'm
portance than State or NatiOna; elec-
ton, and for that reason there ought
to be full vote.
We go to. press too early to report the
WilberfOrce concert which was given
last night. From the number of re-
served seats sold, however, we presume
it was a success, at least as far as the
audience was concerned.
The new church of the Evangelical
Association at Yates Center, WOodsOn
county, was dedicated last Sunday by
Bishop Thomas Bowman and Elder J.
H. Tobias, and christened "Zions Kir-
che der Evangelischen Gemeinschaft."
Mr.. L. +. Rohrer has been confined
to the house with a malarial attack
this week, and had it not been for the
kindness of two of our former "devils,"
Will Worst and Julius Merwin, this
weeks issue would hardly have gotten
itself out.
It is said that millions of squirrels
are emigrating from the Mississippi
over to the Arkansas shore, crossing
the river at point commencing about
five miles below Memphis and extend
ing down for twenty miles. A similar
migration took place in 1872.
Mr.. J. J. Casmire has Servey &
Thomas engaged this week in putting
in new boards wherever needed and
otherwise fitting up the skating rink
for the winters use. Mr.. Casmire has
also ordered large stock of skates
which will be here in short time.
We would respectfully suggest-not
for possible private gain but for the
public good-that the ladies get up
prize of some kind to give to the indi-
vidual winner of the spelling match.
Even democrats admit that
victory which brings no spoils is hardly
worth winning.
Hon. E. H. Funston has been build
ing so many barns, wood sheds and
other farm buildings lately that his
neighbors refer to his place as "Funs-
toms town." We presume he must be
adding another block to it as we saw
him riding out of town on load of
lumber Tuesday.
If any one has been troubled by the
talk concerning court ex-
penses and the connection of the coun-
ty commissioners Herewith, we hope
they will read our article on this sub
ject on the first page. 1t seems to US
that the arguments advanced there
are fair and reasonable.
On account of the flood of entertain
ments, the spelling match has been
postponed until next Friday evening.
At least that is the reason given by the
ladies. We have heard it limited that
the real reason was that the challengers
wanted q little more time for practice.
But that no doubt was wicked and
malicious slander.
The great New Orleans Exposition
is proven every day to be fraud and
failure. At least that is Allen coun-
ty's experience with it. Not cent of
the 500 premium w,n by the Horti-
cultural Society has been paid, and the
Society has lately been notified that
the gold medal awarded it may be had
on the receipt of the price of the bull
I'M hn
fruit, but the ''EX." beat her out of
her hard earned wealth.
The Irene Tracy Dramatic Company
struck hard lines in lola this week.
Nobody seemed in a humOr for theatre
going, SO their audience Monday night
was very scattering. Tuesday night
the storm kept people away and there
was no performance. Wednesday
night was nearly as bad, hardly so seats
being taken. The company was not
first class by any means, but it de-
served better houses than it got.
Tuesdays dailies contained news of
the appointment Of our esteemed friend
Col. G. =. Smith, Of Humboldt. to the
office of Pension Examiner. The Colo
mel spent some time in Washington
last spring trying to secure an appoint
ment, but failed and returned home in
disgust, resigniDg himself to private
life. This appointment is doubtless a
surprise, but the Colonel is too good a
patriot We think, to decline it on that
account. The salary is 81 400 year.
Prof. J. J. Mcbride, of NeOsho Falls,
died at Toronto last Saturday evening
