MAY ll, ISTi. CITY AND COUNTY NEWS. Wichita U growing lejnnl nil coiiwption. Earlr potatoes arc in Jilo"-om in the garden licrc. The rains liave put hade our brickyards .sev eral weeks. Green peas hat c been in table u.-c hevcral iLiysliere. ' Tlie mulberry tree along both rivers are lull or the unripe. riant your winter jnrtatoe in the deereaeof this moon right now. Business boiling over, streets crowded with stranger from every state. Our sidewalks are ringing with the juigling spurs oftlic Texas riders. Rhubarb pies, then colic pains and dysentery medicine. Xot contagious. "Wild grapes, says the "old inhabitant," never before grew so large and in such profusion as this year. The 31. E. Church arc preparing to have a strawberry festival and general feast on the Cth of June. Laborers have been engaged this week in putting in a tuni-tablc and building a switch to it from the depot. "Have a shine, sir' and "Here's your City Eagle" reference to our bird have been the on v street brawls this week. The freight depot is to be enlarged at once. It is now the size of the one at Emporia, but much too small for this city. The first regular dray, pigeon-tailed and Iron-bound, made its appearance on ourstrccts last week, Pat Dolan, landlord. Mr. Weslake, living on Mrs. Everett's place, claims to have had a valuable black horse stolen from him a few night since. W. C. Walkcnshaw, an old Leavenworth railroad man, Is here on the new reform move ment to be made in the railroad postal service. Black & Xixou have received from St. Louis a large Invoice of oranges and lemons. They are the largest we hnvc yet seen in this mar ket. Do not fail to read the advertisement of Abram Kelly, Jr., "Farm for sale." Mr. Kelly has one of the best located farms in this section of country, which he is offering very low. IVork on the flouring mill was commenced "Wednesday last. It is located near the switch, south and west of the depot. According to contract it will be grinding by the middle of July. Some barbarian sings barbariouly thus: "I want to be a Indian, a Arapahoe or Utc ; I'm tired of being a white man, and a unpro tected brute." Granted, ns far as we are con cerned. "We lmve received one poem at lat, but ow ing to the author withholding his name we are unable to publish. To insure publication it requires a name as much as au application for anv other insurance. The Wichita and Southwestern railroad have the contract for the shipment of government freight to this point for forts south and west of here. This compels them to immediately erect another freight house. T. J. Tctcr bought twelve acres, last Satur day, off the southeast corner ol X. A- English's addition, where the cattle yards are being per manently built. The entire twelve acres are to be enclosed immediately. Wc counted thirteen new buildings, all be gan within the last four days. The town is growing so rapidly that a three-days absence from any one locality makes one go for Ills guide-book to ascertain his bearings. Xow come Hayoen and King and claim that they hauled the first load of freight ever brought by car to Wichita. This matter is as suming such importance that wc expect pretty soon to devote nil our pacc to the discussion of it. A Texas man informs us that there arc twelve herds of cattle grazing on the Xenncis 2ih, comprising about fifty thousand head, and a hundred and fiity thousand have crossed Bluff cre'ek, all wailing shipment from this point. The man Minch, who was drowned on Mow Jay, was not found until Saturday afternoon last. He had got fastened in the roots of a tree, and was so disfigured by the water as to be almost beyond recognition. He was buned on the river bank. Charley Hill returned from the east Monday, after enjoying a plethoric mess of everything pertaining to city life, lie also laid in enough drugs to drug this market. Soon he will be heard singing his sweetest song, which goes on, "Come yc afflicted." The force on the Big river bridge was trebled this week and the contractors pledge the for mal opening of the bridge for travel one week from to-day. They arc building handsome toll houses at the bridge ends, and tilings arc "whooping" in that locality. Fred. Martsolt is putting up a snug little rookery for himself on his handsome lots in E. 1. Waterman's new addition to the city. Fred's cottage by the river is modern, and will adorn that side ever so much. Wc hope he may live long and tenderly in it. It is a safe rule that whoever gets "'grosser koph," or big head, when elevated to a little power, never stays long in It. Whoever is afflicted this way, from an M. C. to a railroad king, has n weak iittle spot somewhere in his head that is active food for drivelling idiocy. An indignant Main street merchant declares that he "can walk with his coat on his arm" from Wichita to Cottonwood Falls and hire teams there and have his freight hero two weeks sooner than he can get it by ear. The complaint is general. There is something wrong somewhere. A lively competition among milkmen here has reduced the lacteal fluid to a minimum of six cents per quart. We sometimes think the late copiousness has had something to do with this reduction. It being a principal ingredient not only in milk but in everything lately, wc are safe to attribute it to this cause, and so wc will. Mr. Frank Babcock. of the State Jlecord, To peka, left some of his gcninl at our office on Tuesday last. He was hen- for the punosc of working up the subscription of the J!eccrJ,and we hope lie will receive all the encouragement in the world of newspaperdom. He l a clever hoy, well up in his part, and can scarcely tail of success. The amount of freight shipped to this point by cars in the last few days is simply enor mous. We tried to ascertain the figiires, but the manner in which the few clerks behaved while we were there convinced us that to aj proach them for such an item, so busy were they, would be suicidal. Wc will try to give the figures next week. Mrs. John Marshall, wife of "Curly" Mar shall, died in this city on last Monday and was buried from the First Presbyterian church on Tuesday at 2 o'clock. She died in the belief of a blessed Redeemer, and wc believe she is en joying all the blessings of the skies. She was attended to her last resting place by a large concourse of sympathizing friends. On the farm of Mr. James Royal, situated on the classical (called Cow skin), happened, dur ing the late heavy rains, one of those rarely seen occurrences, a genuine water-spout. Mr. Royal says, while he was working about the hou-c his attention was attracted by a heavy rolling noise and the sound of rushing waters. Glancing in the direction from whence the sounds proceeded he saw a dark cloud like a column, within twenty feet of the ground, from whence poured like a small torrent a col umn of water as thick a a man' body. It lasted about ten minutes, and swelled the Cow skin in that time to a mad. roaring river. It lias long been appareirt that a bridge was needed acnxs the Little Arkan-a-- river neAr Wichita. The complaint conies longer and louder than ever from the other side, since, the continued rains of late have made the river imfordable for the la-t two weeks. This is a serious drawback, not only tothe farmer over there, who haul their freight from and do their marketing here, but also to our dealers and to our entire city in a business point of view. The rich and thickly populated region lying between the river- is a source of revenue to the city which it is safe to say is cut off, owing to the high water, for two month at least in the year from trading at this their most access able point, and either forced to go to Park City or do without sometimes even the neces saries of life. A petition has gone into the board of county commissioners, the twenty right names on it having been procured in a single day, for a hridgc across the Little river at or near the upper ford on Wcidncr's place. The bridge can be located there, or at the ford by Munger's, just where a competent engineer determines is the most economical, safest and practicable place to put it. AVe hope an elec tion will be called at an early day to vote bonds for this most useful and necessary object. Let us have a bridge by all means, and let it be one for all time not only subtantial, but ornamen tal. The best of stone for piers can now be procured at Florence, as cheap as our native rock. We hope the commissioners will take immediate action in this matter. In the stirring inarch of events in this quick ened locality none have kept up their end in a business way with as great a show pt success as the "Blue Store" boys. The firm of Hough- t ton, Mills V Co., 77 Main street, is the fashion able emporium of the Southwest. Clothing of the latest cut and style, gents' furnishing good in every variety and kind, are among the prin cipal articles they vend. The latest "swell" styles can be obtained here ready made, or measures left and clothes returned on the shortest time from New York City by express. Samples of latest goods worn shown to cus tomers "you takes your choice." Hats, caps, boots and shoes, of the new pattern, arc also sold or procured on order. When you desire regaling yourself to a gentleman's complete outfit you can do so by calling at 77 Main street, where, with the rapidity of a drama, you can shake your worn-out jeans and step into the street with a plug hat on and a silk umbrella under your arm. Of course you will need other clothing to match. Under the head of new advertisements in this week's issue will be found the business showing of the Florence Stone Company, J. Exton & Tucker exclusive agent at Wichita. Tills stone Is now accessible to all of our peo ple, city and county. In quality and appear ance it is unrivaled anywhere in the United States. Wc are glad, and no doubt all here are glad, of the change from wooden window and door caps to the ornamental stone ones, resembling marble and just as durable. Ex amine their advertisement for a complete list of what they manufacture. They furnish flag ging in any size, aIo curbing, stoops, columns, in fact all work pertaining to the best eastern quarries. 3Ir. Exton is well known to our citizens as an energetic, honest business man, and wc are glad that he is selected as the agent for this important enl crprise here. Fort Scott, Osage City shaft, Burlingamc and Carbondale coal will be kept also in yard by him, for sale in any quantity. Ofllce for the present with Shellabargcr fc Leidigh, near the depot. Few business men are entitled to more cred it for energy, business tact and zeal than Mr. George Shlichtcr, our extensive hardware dealer. By his industry and devotion to his calling he has built up a trade and credit sec ond to none in our state. He began here in the midst of our frontier struggle and has worked gradually and determinedly into the front rank of our public-spirited citizens. He has united with him Mr. A. L. Houck, a gen ial, clever gentleman, of large means, untiring industry and successful business experience. These two are a team that are pulling the St. Louis Hardware Store Into wide-spread popu larity. Their sales per diem would astonish some of our river wholesalers. Success con tinue with them sav wc. D. S. Mungcr led us exultingly through his fine three-acre garden this week and showed us convincing proofs of the vegetable produc tiveness of Arkansas valley soil. He has been using, for nearly a mouth, radishes, lettuce and onion- gathered in his garden. Gooseber ry pic is his latest ; and from vines planted last fall in ins garden the yield was a quart and a pint to the bush. The prettiest and most en ticing place in all the surroundings of this city is the elegantly kept garden of the kind-hearted D. S. We only regret that others who have large grounds do not likewise try to adorn, beautify and turn to practical use so much of God's-rich alluvial. It affords us pleasure to announce to our citizens and strangers contemplating building here, that the firm of Reese & Sawyer, whose advertisement will be found in this issue, arc prepared to take contracts on public and pri vate buildings, of whatever dimensions, and to do work in the most modern and approved styles. Messrs. Reese & Sawyer are among our best mechanics, honest, straight-forward and capable. All work done by them carries its warranty upon the face of it. We earnestly recommend them to our readers as among the best mechanics in their calling. Their shop is on Market street, near the corner of Douglas avenue. The soda water manufactory of Harris fcCo., an advertisement ol which will be found on our second page, is doing an immense trade here and at the surrounding town. Mr. Har ris has already increased his facilities and pur poses immediately starting wagons to make regular trips to all towns south of us with a view of supplying them with this innocent, healthful and invigorating beverage. The firm of Harris & Co. manufacture here the best arti cle of soda wc have tasted anywhere, and we arc glad to note their success. At the regular semi-annual meeting of the First Union Sabbath School of this city, held oil the 4th Inst., the following officers were elected for the ensuing term: Superintendent, F. C Martsolf ; treasurer, Wm. Reese ; libra rian. A. A. Gard; secretary, T. L. Nixon; choriter, S. A. Sturgls; organist, J. M. II. Allen. This school is prospering finely, and bids fair to do a good work. The sessions of the school are held every Sabbath morning at 8 o'clock, in the Presbyterian church. All arc cordiallv Invited. Wm 3Iahanah, whose riderless horse came back to Sedgwick City last week from the ford of the Little Arkansas, has not been heard of nor found, notwithstanding active search, ne had just arrived at Sedgwick from Illinois, and was going to see his sister, who lived on the opposite side of the river. He is reported to have had a thousand dollars on his person. Later. The body has jut been found a few miles below the ford, after having been in the water nine davs. Steele A Smith, our extendi e and enterpris ing real estate dealers, have done a larger bus iness since our last Is-ue than ever before in a single week. They sold over fifteen thousand dollars worth of property. Included with this is lot 47. rain street, sold to 31r. George W. D tinkle, or Baxter Spring, for $1(50. 3Ir. Dunklc will immediately erect a business houe thereon i"xTo, which he intends "chuck ing" full of dry goods a soon as it i finished. At tlie other end of our long bridge Is located that busy mart West Wichita. If it was known to some that a splendid opportunity is offered there for the building ami opening of a hotel, and that a land office business awaits it, besides the liberal inducements offered for buildings of all kinds, and that live shares in this thriving suburb of Wichita remain yet unsold, tlie president of the company,Sol. H. Kohn, would be hunted up and "tilings would goon again." In another column will be found an article written by the editor before leaving for the ' cast, which diciises the probability of a re moval of the state capital. Because of the llings at our town by the Topeka daily some might construe the article into a jocose retalia tion, but from expressions made by Col. 3Ittr doek wc are satisfied that he considers the re moval of the state capital in the next ten years an improbability by no iiuan. Tcpeka is wild over the biting of (wo persons there by mad dogs, on last Saturday. The po lice anil citizen have commenced an Indis criminate slaughter. Large intoices of sau sage way be expected here soon. Our dbg bii-incs i in statu quo. and is likely to remain so until some valuable life is lo-t. Then the mayor will blame the council and the council the mayor. In the meantime the corpse will be borne to the cemetery and the dog tied up by its owner. Capt. E. S. Mosely has just got in from Kio wa City, Barbour county. The captain brought some beautiful specimens of pure magnesia and salt with him. He says there are a great many fine timbered claim close by him. Coal I found in the sluices. The promises for other mineral wealth are abundant. The land is the richest he has seen anywhere south of the Arkansas valley, and of the same character. Emigrants should note this. On last Sabbath, at the close or the morning sen-ice, there was a Baptist church organized, with twenty-six members, and we learn that measures will be taken soon to erect a house of worship and have regular services. The la dies of the society have organized a mite soci ety or sociable, and they will hold their first meeting at the house or Mr. Hobbs on next Tuesday night, at 8 o'clock, to which all are cordially invited. At an adjourned meeting or Odd Fellows, as sembled in theom.ee orSluss, Reeves & House, on Tuesday evening last, all the necessary ar rangements were made for the full and com plete organization or a lodge at Wichita. An other meeting is to be held at the same place next Tuesday evening, to which all members in good standing are earnestly invited. Impudence and abuse combined itself in the knocking down of a little red-faced man in one of the lower end saloons this week. As be arose, and while balancing on Ids knees, his husky persecutor said: "What doycr wear sucli long-toed shoes for and ycr won't be Tall in' over ycr feet." MAJtltlED. On Thursday evening, at the Mungcr House, by the Rev. J. P. Harscn, of the First Presby terian church, Mr. Fred. C. Martsolf to Mrs. Alice 31. Ledford. The above did not take us much by surprise, a wc have noticed carryings-on for some time. The bride and groom left last evening for the cast. We congratulate both parties. Fred has got one of the noblest or little women for a wife, and Alice has exchanged herself for a man whose qualities of head and heart arc in perfect accord with hi pure christian life.
