WE owe no grudge to Colonel Hast
ing because he once cuffed our ears in
the corridor of the town hall. We had
proved him a liar, swindler and an
absconder, and he had to cuff to save
his reputation. The colonel is now
seeking the nomination for sheriff. and
is promising in case he is elected to Sc
cure our town a government appropria-
ton of $3.50, 900 to build a public build
ing. We are actuated only by the
kindest motives when we say that the
colonel is a blooming deceiver. He
can no more secure a dollar from Uncle
Sam than we can borrow one of the
hinges from the gates of heaven. All
the influence he has in this world of sin
and sorrow is confined to the Red Hot
saloon and its crowd of reprobates. do
not be deceived in the castor-oil voice
of the colonel.-Arizona Howler.

A Couple Of BsIatsd Citizens Fired at While Cut
ting Across Lots Last Hight.
As two well known and highly re-
spected citizens were coming home on
foot from southeast of the city late
last night they thought they would
shorten the distance by cutting across
Mrs. Slocum's lots pear her house. Be-
fore they had proceeded very far shots
rang out and they realized they were
the target for somebody's gun. They
secreted themselves behind trees to
shield their anatomies from the lead,
but every time they made a move
another shot greeted them. After
much shifting around they succeeded
in getting out Of range.
This forenoon it was learned that
Mrs. Slocum had happened to look out
of the window as the gentlemen were
passing, and being confident that they
were night marauders. fired. The
Misses Emma and Fannie Lane were
also in the house assisting with the
target practice on two unsuspecting
citizens. It was a narrow escape for
the gentlemen and lucky for the ladies
that they were no better marksmen.

THE corner in October wheat by a
Chicago Spectator is not apt to i'm
prove the feelings of the laboring peo-
pie toward grain spectators of this
sort. The unsettlement of prices is
disastrous, not only to dealers, but it
affects every member of the commun-
ity. A few years ago over s.. OOO, 900
were cleared by the ring in pork, and
the price doubled. The New York
produce exchange buys and sells two
bushels of wheat for every one that is
grown in the country. The present
corner in wheat is rascality, and not
business tact.

The announcement ON Saturday
evening that Senator p. B. Plumb had
arrived in the city, and would speak in
the evening, brought out an immense
crowd to the Eight avenue rink, where
bonfire lighted in that vicinity was
shedding its light for several blocks
around. and the cannon was booming
out at regular intervals. at little
past 2 O'Clock the Emporia band
marched up Commercial street, playing
lively air, and the crowd around and
in the building multiply. AT quar-
ter of eight the senator, accompanied
by Messrs. q. v. Eskridge. VIM. Mar
tindal, Col. Whitley and L. E. Lam
bert, arrived at the entrance of the
building and made their way to the
rOstrum. After the enthusiastic cheers
of reception had subsidized Mr.. Lam
bert, chairman of the Lyon county re-
publican central committee, intro
duced the speaker of the evening.
Senator Plumb then commenced one
of the most mastery political
speeches that has ever been de-
livered in the city. The audience
paid the strictest attention and follow
ing in rapid succession were bursts Of
applause as the senator scored a telling
point. His Introductory remarks were
expressive of the regard for his friends
and neighbors before him and he then
passed to the political issues of the
day. The question of the tariff was
handled in plain and convincing man
ner, and then the question Of some of
the southern elections was touched up
with feeling and severely condemned.
His handling of the administration

points nailed against it. For over
two hours he talked to the audience.
At the close of his speech and when
the meeting was adjourned, his many
friends in the gathering crowded
around him congratulating him on his
effort and expressed pleasure at seeing
