Mountain, whose heights mark the death
spot where Tell the brave General Polk.
All, yes, he whose trembling hand is PEN

bloody work and shocked the Confederate
army for days. But it is passed now, and
some Of us are here yet to show our grand
children the line of breastworks that run
through the plat of ground on which our
little house stands, the spot where the old
Primitive Baptist Church stood before the
war. Its name was Gilgal, as You will fnd
marked on the war map as laid down by
Joseph M. Brown, in his Kennesaw route

UNCLE JOSH.

SNOAE OVOus
My uncle Josh is a man of sense,
None of his neighbors doubt it
Whenever he has a thing to do,
he goes right straight about it,
A tiller Of the fertile soil is he
And Independent as sawyer
He knows all about his business D..
Just as we'll as any lawyer
He believes in kind Providence.
And upon the Lord has learned to trust
Faith alone with him is utter nonsense,
Without the work, you are sure to bust
he is nothing much for prohibition,
In fact in him it has no friend,
Nothing is the matter with the whisky,
The man says he is the one to mend.
No stock he takes in politicians;
lie says they are an uncanny set,
And should be kicked into perdition,
And would do it if he could, you bet.
A lawyer, he says, should know the law,
And, knowing it we'll and truly,
Should guard his client from doing wrong,
And try to curb him when unruly.
Says he, Of many creeds, there is no need
They often breed sharp perturbation,
And many soul there is, indeed,
Through them sent to damnation.
Every doctor, he says. is not sage,
Many are b,urdering in the dark,
Knowing no more OF disease in this age,
Than when Noah came out of the ark.
For fear your readers may grow tired,
And think my muse already mired,
I'll quit right here, stop my slosh,
And rhyme some other time of Uncle Josh.

president of a shoe manufacturing
company in Memphis, Tenn. re-
ceived a telegram that the Davis
Shoe Company of Lynn, Mass, had
failed, owing Hills company from
100000 to 100000, and advising
Hill to make an assignment to save
himself, he did so. But he at once
went to his home and blew out his
brains. Whether by his prompt
procedure he saved himself is a
question of doubt. 1t certainly did
not recover the 100000 or $780,
600 due him by the Lynn firm.

JOHN BROWNS son on SLAVERY.

Jason Brown, the son of John
Brown entertains very different
ideas from those that instigateG his
misguided sire to murderous deeds
and made him dangerous lunatic.
He recently gave his views concern
ing slavery to New England paper,
and in the course of his remarks
said:
81 believe that slavery was a Sec
tional evil, and the people of the
North were as much to blame FOR
its long continuance as the people OF
the South. Why? Because the old
slave States of Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, Rhode Island, New York
and Pennsylvania, when they found
slavery no more profitable, sold
their slaves to other people of the
South and pocketed the money.
"To be sure, a few liberated their
slaves, noticeable the Qaakers. We
Of the North were their holders,
while the people of the South were
their owners, and we in the war
that followed, went down in the red
sea of blood with the people of the
South.
To-day my sympathy, and those
of the remaining members of my
family, are largely with the people
who have suffered the more because
OF the war"

AN OLD SETTLER GONE.

The large circle Of friends and acquaint-
ances of DR.. and Mrs. A. j. Longsdorf will
be panied to learn that their daughter,
Mrs Louisa Longsdorf, has been called to
her long home.
Mrs. Longsdorf came to Wichita with
her father and mother in March, $50.
With them she helped to make this beau
tiful city what it has always been proud
to own-a home for every one who chose
to cast his lot among its people. Always
active in every good cause, for years the
name of Louisa Longsdorf was but the
synonym of charity, aud many God
bless youw fell from the lips of those to
whom she had extended her whole-souled
benevolence. Conspicuously Jealous in
the early work of the church and in the
organization of the city's varions social
interests, it was not without regret that
her friends bade Der good bye. few years
ago, when she went to Salt Lake City IN
the hope of improving her health. That
boon, however, seemed to be denied to her,
and after brave struggle she finally
Welded, in the calm confidence that to pass
away from this life was but to be trans
lated to the life beyond.
The funeral services will be held at the
home OF Dr. Longsdort, 415 North Topeka
avenue, concerning which due notice will
be given later on.

WICHITA AND Ell RENO.
Improvements In the Latter City Demsnd Sl'
Car Loads Of Goods From Wichita.

Six whole car loads of goods were ship
ped yesterday from this city to FL Reno,
o. T., for large brick store and bank
building at that place which is being
built by the enterprising firms of III. J.
Whitley & Co., and Acuf Brothers & Co.
Two of the six cars shipped were from
Stewart Brothers, the enterprising iron
manufacturers OF this city and contained
architectural iron works such as columns.
lintels, brass rods, arches aud such other
materials as are usually required in the
construction OF such solid and substsn-
tial building as the one referred 70. The
other four cars were shipped by Huttig
Bros, manufacturers of sashes, doors,
blinds and interior finishing. Thus it is
demonstrated once more that Wichita is
the jobbing center for the Oklahoma coun-
try and the entire southwest, and it is
pleasing to be able to note the fact that
Wichita can compete with and in fact does
better than any other city in this respect.
Stewart Bros. are to be congratulated for
their business capacity, for they not only
compete successfully for the trade of
Oklahoma and Southern Kansas in their
line, but actually have been successful in
their competition with other manufacture
ing centers in securing large contracts in
Salt Lake City, Denver and other western
cities. What is true of Stewart Brothers is
also true of Hutig Bros. While this city
is to be congratulated on its ability 10 sup
ply everything cheaper than other cities,
in almost every line, to the people OF the
southwest Ell Reno is also to be congratu
lated upon the legitimate growth which
requires such handsome and substantial
business block as the one now under course
of erection. It has always been predicted
by every observant man, from the
freighter of almost a generation ago,
down to the modern investor and specu-
lator, that great and thriving city would
be built some where on the North Cana
dian. near the post, and the present pro-
gress of Ell Reno certainly justifes the Oft
made prediction. Pluck and enterprise
will always be rewarded. and especially so
when this pluck and enterprise are backed
by fine, productive and beautiful
surrounding country. as is the case of FL
Reno J. H. Worrell e. Co. are a great
business factor between Wichita. and
Oklahoma and always give the Peerless
Princess the preference of their trade be-
cause on every instance they have made
better deals here than in any other place.
They are among the most enterprising
men in the Land of the Fair God" and
Fl Reno appreciates the fact. If Okla
homa had a hundred such business men it
would be at the head of the procession,
land it is not far from there now) and
Wichita would be advanced still farther in
the march of industrial and commercial

THE DOG sHowo1oGY.

From our window yesterday there were
four or five hack loads of dogs, fancy bred,
educated, well fed CANNES, their necks
decorated with silk ribbons and other
badges of honor, and all led by brass
band. Close behind the gay, noisy pageant
followed stray cur, a little, Insignificant
lost waif, with a bob tail and bare ribs,
who went unuoticed by the world of boys
who applauded the royal procession. The
little hmping stray, uumindful OF his
sore foot, bravely hoppled along, merrily
joining the chorus of BIZ dog yelps. And
why shouldn't he? The ine-haired whelps,
one and all, were slaves. daily whipped
and spurred on to feats distasteful and un-
natural, while he, the lame, hungry and
bob-tailed wight, was free to join in the
joy or let it alone. So here and there may
be noted an individual who thus tolls on
in the rear Of this worlds great process
sion of band wagons, monkey shows and
circuses. disheartened, mayhap, at times,
but for the most immagining despite the
apparent insignifcance which fate has
entailed for him and detailed for the dog,
that he is really part of the procession
And isn't he? The average man that rides
in carriage is the slave of circumstances
and position, of demands begotten of his
accumulations or attachments, which are
ever whipping and squirting him on till
he finally gives mis- last yelp and drops
into the dust of oblivion beside the bob
tailed stray and the entailed tramp, both
bis earthly brothers who with him toiled
up life's procession of slaves, OF which he
was one no less than they.
