There was another big rain Sunday
night. commencing at 1870 o'clock, and

The Cresset says Jas. Dobbs sold out
to the alliance. The INDEX had men,
toned that he had sold out to F. F.
Mullen. Now we would like to know
where the Cresset got any such infor-
nation. Mr.. Mullen is private indi-

lance, and in this case is not even an
agent for the alliance.

old man of this city, became engaged

facts, that Palmer shook his fist in
Wheat's face, and called him a thief,
when Wheat gave him a blow on14he
end of the nose, that brought the gore
in profusiOn. No arrests.

Long, of Medicine Lodge, was in the
city last night, stopping at the Carey.
He says that the people of his county
haven't time to listen to Jerry Simpson
now, as they are too busy gathering
their immense crop which will lift their
mortgages quicker than any kind of re-
forming. He says that even Jerry has
been infected with the excitement and
was out doing some work on his farm -

popular young folks, and they have
many friends who extend cOngratula-
tiOns and well wishes"
Mr.. Robert Gibson brought us a sam
pie of his peach crop, Monday. They
are large, smooth and of delicious fla
vor. They are the Arkansas Traveller
variety, and it has been acknowledged
heretofore that Arkansas raised the
finest peaches in the world. But Kan
sas will not take back seat for any
body on peaches or any other kind of
fruit. Mr.. GibsOn's trees are loaded,
the limbs being nearly covered, and the
peaches are trying to crowd each other
off the trees.
One of the best rains of the season
fell last Wednesday night. There was
considerable thunder and lightning, and
very liberal supply of wind accom-
panying the rain, and slight touch of
hail made itself known. The wind
twisted the new government sugar ex-
