Attention is called to the address of the Horticultural society to the people of Bates county in reference to an exhibit at the Kansas City Exposition. Jno. M.

Smith is having a new front put on his livery stable, on Ohio street. When completed it will greatly improve the appearance of the building. A movement is on foot to elect Major William Warner, member of Congress from 5th district, succes- sor to General Fairchild, as the head of the Grand Army of the Republic. Henry Day and Tommy McFarland played with the Rich Hill band boys at the Nevada firemen’s tournament last week. The former was accom- panied to Nevada by his wife. Capt. Hannah and A. L. McBride visited the Indian Territory the first of the week, returning Wednesday evening. They report everything very dry down there. We would suggest the county court appropriate the surplus chain from around the court house yard to a cable car company to establish a line to and from the depot. Mrs. J. P. Willis.

The Daily Morning Review is now a welcome visitor to our sanctum. It is a six column folio, or just half the size of the Weekly. It is brim full of sparkling news. a credit to its publishers, Irish & Walters. and de- serves the liberal patronage of the business men of Rich Hill. We wish the Daily Review unbounded success and hope these enterprising gentle- men may grow corpulent in pocket. as in person. John Pharis, our popular and en- terpiising grocery merchant on the south side, always remembers the printer when he has anything good to divide. On last Friday he brought a large watermelon into our office. If there is one thing above all oth- ers that just fills the printer's tooth it isa large fine melon deliciously ripe. Yum, yum. Mr. Pharis will be remembered in the printer's prayers. The Rich Hill tire brigade, judg- ing from the Review, is inclined to kick on the treatment received by them at Nevada. They claim that the water company discriminated in favor of the home club by failing to give visiting clubs a sufficient press- ure. The citizens of Nevada should carefully investigate this matter and attach the blame where it belongs. From Judge Clark Wix we learn of a very sad accident which occurred in Deepwater township on Tuesday last.

This is much better than was ex- pected for awhile, during the pro- tracted dry spell, and enough corn will be raised to run our farmers through in good circumstances. Our Kansas ations are much disturbed at the action of the Santa Fe railway in withdrawing all its surveyors from the field, the mana- gers thereby indicating an intention to abandon, for this year at least, all their extensions in Kansas territory. The prevailing drouth and conse- quent poor prospects for a crop in the grasshopper State is given by the Santa Fe officials as an excuse for this movement, which Chief En- gineer Emerson says will not extend to Missouri, where the surveys will be conducted to a completion.—La- mar Missourian. The Directors met at the Palace hotel Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock and perfected a permanent organiza- tion by the election of the following officers. D. N. Thompson, Presi- dent; A. L. McBride, Vice President; Wm. E. Walton, Secretary; Capt. F. J. Tygard, Treasurer; Rev. A Walker and R. J. Hurley, correspond- ing Secretaries. Capt. Hannah was appointed to receive propositions on location and report the same to the next meeting of the board. The county surveyor, Geo. E. Catterlin, was requested to take the altitude of the different locations pre- sented and report same. A num- ber of bids on the work were read and discussed and the corresponding secretaries ordered to secure the best bids possible by the next meeting. We understand it is the intention of the stockholders to take an option on the land on which the drilling will be done. D. N. Thompson and R. J. Hurley were appointed a commit- tee to wait on the town board and request that body not to submit a water works proposition until the result of the prospecting is ascer- | tained.

The woman was taken to the station in the Third precinct, where she was locked up on | the charge of attempting to dispose of the child. In the basket was the | child, a bundle of baby clothes and a note, as follows: “Please take care of this child and find it a home.” Application had been made at the home on Saturday by Mrs. Cook, but she was told that none could be taken, so she took this means to force it upon the institution. The child was | returned to its mother, Miss Emma ; Wilson, who is now at Mrs. Cook’s house. Miss Wilson says she is from Papinville, Bates county, where she | has been living for eight years in the family of a prominent cattleman, whom she says is the father of the child.—K. C. Journal. Rich Hill Daily Mining Review Elias Shaffer, now justice of the | peace and a prominent citizen of | Prairie township, was married about twelve years ago to Ellen Richardson, and the two have lived together ap- | parently happy until very recently. For the past ten years or so Miss Emma Wilson (now about 25 ert of age) has been a member of the Shaffer family, until a few weeks ago | when she was sent to Kansas City. | She found a home at the residence of a Mrs. Cook, of that city. To Miss Wilson a child was born, and a negro servant was employed to leave the infant on a neighboring door step; but the watchful eye of the police, ever on the allert, followed up the servant and placed herand Mrs. Cook under arrest. Then the story of Emma Wilson was told. She gave | her name, place of residence, and { stated who was the father of her} child. The news reached Papinville and Mrs. Shaffer. and to-day Theo- dore Wilson, brother of Emma Wilson went to Butler for legal advice, while another party was dispatched to bring one of the law firm of Temple- ERDOLIT, ree BUY YOUR Dry Goods BOOTS AND SHOES ENTS FURNISHING GOODS.
