Hotchkibs, whom we never iad accused of running any paper at all before coming here, laborod through al most three-quarters of a column in 7f$-lation last week to prove that he is a good Democrat. It will require more space than that to make a start toward proving himself a gentleman. HOW IT IS. The Wa-Keeney "World refers to W. D. Kelly, Democratic candidate for state auditor, as "Coon Kelly." The editor of ttie World is the Republican candidate for the legislature, and of course depends 3, upon the negroes, and those who have been,posing as friends of the negroes for the past quarter of a century, for his eleo-' tion. If he intends to continue the fight -wiufsuch tactics, "Coon Kelly's" chances for election are better than the World man's. JVess City Sentinel. Mr. McDowell, of the Sentinel, perhaps does not intend to misrepresent us. That lie has done so, however, will appear ("when we explain how it is. "Coon" has for years been used as a term of reproach. It has, therefore, as far as decent usage is concerned, not been applied to respecta ble colored people. Of course, Democrats have misapplied the term go as to make it cover their hate of the colored people in general. The Republican usage is uch as we have explained to be. W. D. .Kelly is, therefore, a "coon," not because he is a negro, but because he is a traitor to his race, as well as a trifling fellow on general principles. Mr. McDowell can, "by making enquiry of Leavenworth peo ple, ascertaiu that Coon Kelly ought to be advertised as a vagrant, instead of be ing permitted to misrepresent his race by posing as the candidate of the party whose fundamental principle before the war was their eternal enslavement, and whose most important act sinco the war lias been to render null such portions of our national constitution as seek to give the negro political status under this gov ernment. Death of Mrs. Lucy 6. Hanna. Mrs. Lucy G. Hanna died at her resi dence in Salina Friday morning, October 3, at 4 o'clock, aged 82 years, 11 months and 11 days. Captain Hanna, of this city, her only (eon, was present at ner ueatu. xxo says she died purely of old aga She was in apparently good health the day before "Uier death. She merely passed away in the night without any apparent suffering -whatever. The captain tells us that his -father died about twelve years Ago in pre cisely the same manner, at an age a little "beyond eighty-two years. Mrs. Hanna's funeral was preached Sor$ay afternoon, at her residence, by Rev. Mr. Campbell. Mrs. Captain Hanna, of this city, and the captain's only sister were present. The remains of the deceased were then -'Conveyed to Gypsum Hill Cemetery, in Salina, where they were buried. There are portraits of all P. G. Mas ters (in Odd Fellowship) in the possession - -of the grand lodge, except those of R. A. Sandlet, F. H. Betton, John M. Price, John Charleton, J. Jay Buck, J. G. 2forthcraft, W. H. Pilkcnton, C.

The above re marks are made among "Notes" -of the meeting' of the grand lodge of Odd Fel lows at our capital city this week. Major Pilkenton and every head of the rest of them are able to "have their pictures ta- -ken," and thejr ought to attend to the vatter forthwith. r-G. F.

He expects to open his drag store at that place on Monday next. He had been quite sick with malarial fever before leav ing here. While at Mr. S. C. Robb's, in the Sa line valley, last Sunday, we had occasion to notice how contented the cattle are on the dried-buffalo-grass range. Their con dition is in marked contrast with that of a year ago, when they could be seen dash ing in all directions to get enough bleach ed grass to satisfy their appetites. Mr. Philip Webster, father of Mrs. F. D. Wonner, left on Tuesday for his home in Indiana, after a visit of about a week at Mr. Wonner's. Mr. Webster ex pressed himself as being pleased with the appearance of western Kansas, and ac knowledged readily that the corn crop out hero is much better than it is fur ther to the east. About the very biggest pumpkin we ever saw was in a stranger's wagon on Franklin street. A World reporter was told that it had been raised in the Ban ner neighborhood, in this county. The man had forgotten the name of the per son who grew this monster pumpkin. It was being taken to Mitchell county to surprise those people with. County Treasurer Gibbs took charge of his office on Tuesday. Mr. Gibbs has had the training necessary to render him an expert custodian of 'our county treas ury. His immediate predecessor, Mr. Kelly, brought order out of chaos in the early months of his own administration of the affairs of the treasury. So, finding affairs in presentable condition, Mr. Gibbs has a great advantage over Mr. Kelly. Our old friend, Thos. Tarpy, of Ogal lah township, was in this office on Tues day with an article winch he justly re garded as a great curiosity. It was noth ing less than an almost accurate likeness of a person's hand from the wrist to the end of the thumb and each of the fingers, which was an extra growth over an ear of corn. The palm of the hand of this extra corn growth curved gently over the main ear, while the fingers lay along the ear as gently .as though through human instinct. A Happy Wedding. Galena (111.,) Gazette. The residence of Mr. Josiah Kistle, Scales Mound, was the scene last Tues day evening of the brilliant wedding of his eldest daughter, Estelle, to Mr. John H. March, of Wa-Keeney, Kansas. Promptly at 7 o'clock the bridal party, preceded by Rev. Mr. Farmiloe, the offi ciating clergyman, entered the tastefully decorated parlor to the strains of Men delssohn's wedding march, which was played by Miss Florence Gratiot, and took their places under a wishbone of handsome roses. Then in a few solemn and impressive words the pair were made man and wife. The beautiful bride was attired in an elegant cream colored gros- grain silk, court train, with escurial lace front and trimmings, and carried a bo quet of tube roses. She was attended by Miss Sadie E. March, sister of the groom, who looked charming in a costume of cream brocaded satin with escurial lace trimmings, and decorations of pink and yellow tea roses. Mr. Win White, of LeMars, Iowa, officiated as best man. Immediately after the ceremony and sincere and hearty congratulations which were showered upon them by their nu merous friends, the bride and groom led the way to the dining room, where a? 8umptuou3 repast was served. Mr. and Mrs. March left on the 11:30 train for Chicago, from whence they will go to their future home in Wa-Keeney, Kansas. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Kistle, and is loved and respected by all who"know her; and her loss will be felt, not only in the family, where she has been .a loving and devoted daughter, but by)hfir,-niany friends as well. The groom, af prominent young banker of Wa-Keeney, -Kansas, is a man of sterling quality and worth, and has those traits of character which go to make up a man. The presents were numerous and beautiful, 'showing the "esteem in which the bride is held by her many friends. Among the guests from abroad were, Mr. and Mrs. Will Kistle, LeMars, Iowa; Rev. Mr. Farmiloe, formerly pastor of the First M. E. church, of Scales Mound; Jdre. White, of MineraLPoint, Wis.; Mr. -Win White and Mies March, of LeMars; Mr. Fred Haaee.and wife, Miss Ktorence Gratiot, Mr. Ohaa, Porter and sister and stock: jpjiJi&j&TJsrG- the basis op oms WA-KEE1STEY, KANSAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1886. OUR NEXT JUDGE. COMMENTS ON HIS NOMINA TION ' r - - .,v, .. 11 Picked Up Here and There. That the Hon. Steve Osborn will have a "walk over" in the Judicial race is.now pretty generally conceded. Hays City Star Sentinel. At the Republican judicial convention hold at Ness City, judge S. J. Osborn, of Wa-Keeney, received the nomination. Oakley Opinion. Dem. Hon. S. J. Osborn was nominated by acclamation as candidate for judge of the 23d judicial district by the Republican convention held at Ness City on the third of August. Lcoh City Standard. The Democrats at Wa-Keeney last week placed in nomination for the office of judge of this judicial district Mr. Gilke son, of Hays City. Mr. G. is a pretty good lawyer, but he is engaged in a hope less race now. Ness City Times. A. D. Gilkeson was nominated for judge of this district, on the Democratic ticket, at Wa-Keeney last Saturday. His chance of being elected are about as good as it is of going to heaven. Steve Osborn will be the next judge. Ellis Headlight. S. J. Osborn, of Wa-Keeney, was nom inated for judge of the district court in this district by acclamation, at the con vention held in Ness City on the third of August. His nomination was unanimous' and was mado without balloting. His fit-, nes3 for the office and the unanimous voice of the convention is assurance of his election. Ennis City Courier. Hon. Steve Osborn was nominated by acclamation by the Republican conven tion as judge of the 23d judicial district, the new district formed partly from the old seventeenth last winter. Mr. Osborn was appointed by the governor when the district -.was organized and is a man pe culiarly fitted for the duties of judge ship. Oberlin Eye. It is with pleasure that we note that Hon. S. J. Osborn has been renominated for judge of the twenty-third judicial district. He is one of the most popular men in that district, which has been a fact for years. That no one was found who wished to oppose him was a high compliment. He deserved it, however, as he has made an excellent judge. Com. momvealtli. Hon. S. J. Osborn was nominated by acclamation at Ness City on Tuesday, August 3, when the judicial convention for the 23d judicial district met. He was appointed by Governor Martin last win ter, when the new district was created. He is popular and able, and this is another case of good judgment shown by Governor Martin in making appoint ments. Coronado Sentinel. Judge Osborn was nominated by accla mation at the judicial convention held at Ness City August 3. The judge is one of the popular men of Kansas, and the peo ple of the 23d judicial district will elect him to the judgeship of the district with an overwhelming majority. He is a de serving man and an able jurist, and when elected will give this district a judge sec ond to none in the state. Scott County 2Teivs. 4 We understand that the Democratic judicial convention at Wa-Keeney on Sat urday was both tame and harmonious. In looking the district over they could call to mind but one attorney who was a Democrat, and the rules were at once suspended and he was nominated by ac clamation. Of course he will .not carry a county in the district not even his own but then the ticket had to be filled up. Hays Star Sentinel. " m Ned Ferris is building himself a bus iness house between Opera Block and his father's residence. The new building is to be 22x50 feet on the ground, and two stories high. In the' 'cellar of this con templated building, some five or six feet below the ground surface, Mr. C. J. Fer ris called our attention the other day to the roots of a box-elder bush which was set into the ground only last spring. These roots had reached as low as the cellar was then dug we don't know how much lower. Only an ordinarily small bnnch of roots were attached to the bush on its being.placed in that location. How deep do you suppose some of the tree roots in court-house square are by this time? ' Miss Luella Ferris who is teaching the school in the Chalk district, in the valley of Big creek,: rides into town each school-day' afternoon, and -returns to the school house in the' morning.

S. grand juryl The wind had been blowing heat and dust from the south for so long that its change into the north, Tuesday night, seemed almost odd. Hon. D. R. Wagstaff, of Salina, has been in the city the most of the week as an attorney in an important case before the U. S. land office. Sheriff Baker has built an addition to the rear of his new meat-market build ing. He expects to occupy bis new mar ket by the first of next week. Frank Danford, Esq., is at Leaven worth this week, attending the U. S. court. Among his work is the defense of David Hille in the post-office case.
