OrriBMAK. ; THE CITY ELECTION. The local election of Tuesday was one of the most exciting and holly contested elections held hero in years. There wasn't much to fight over three councilmen, two members of the board of education, a justice of the peace and two constables but there were great issues at stake. The "big improvement party" those who favor the building of the switch, the water works, etc., arrayed on the one 6ide and the fellows who follow in tho wake of Mayor Harvey and Samuel II. Smith on the other. The former par ty's adherents held a caucus Saturday evening and nominated Capt. J. S. Price, J. J. Fribley and B. F. Brown for councilmen, J. C. Naylor and Ira C. Perkins for school board, Ed. Hodg kins for justico and John Jones and II. S. Walker for constables. The other party held no caucus, but placed W. W. Scott, T. Connor and P. R. Sla ter in the field for councilmen, E. Binus for justice and J. II. Darnell aud "W. E. Donaldson for constables. They unwisely left the place of mem ber of board of education blank in each ward. G. W. Koontz and J. W. Smith, who announced themselves as candidates through our last paper, took advantage of this poiut and were both elected. Both sides had hacks and carriages out with the result that a very full vote was polled. The following table shows the result as reported to the council by the judges and clerks: First Sec'd ward ward Total 110 110 M W 91 91 74 74 112 IU 84 CI 86 88 3 82 08 US OS 88 69 88 187 (i-i 51 114 75 as ira 71 63 l'J4 Mi .VI lot 71 4S 119 For Councilman, P.

OBITtAKY. Died, at her home in this city Friday morning, April 4, 1S00, Mrs. M. J. Carney, aged 31) years. Funeral ser vices will be held to-morrow at 11 o'clock at the M. E. church, conducted by Rev. A. R. Miller. Mrs. Carney, whoso husband died in November, 18Sy, since then bought property here and became a resident of this city. She leaves fivo eons, the youngest about four years old, and an estate worth about $10,000. She was a mem ber of the Presbyterian church and a highly respected christian lady. Mr. S.V. Shcflnerof Chicago, who is to put iu the machinery of our butter and cheese factory, arrived in the city Tuesday afternoon. There has been a delay somewhere, howevcrj.in the ma chinery which left Chicago last Friday, bnt it is expected every day. It will be about six days after the machinery arrives until the factory will bo ready to bo put in operation. Mr. A. O. Barnes, the expert butter maker who is to give instructions for a time, is also here aud of course the factory will doubtless be put in operation tho mo ment the machinery Is in. Evangelist F. D. Tettitof the Chris tian church baptized the following named persons Sunday afternoon by immersion in the Spring branch one block north of the school building. The weather was quite cold and disa greeable at the time, but nevertheless there was a goodly number there to witness the baptizing : W, W. Smith, Maude Hoke, Jennie Hoke, Nannie Carroll, Howard Kaylor, Bertha Rue ter, Albert Paul, Nellie Taul, Wesley Edwards, Alice Hiuer. The man who takes a newspaper from the post ofSco with no intention of ever paying his snbsciption would be highly indignant and grossly insult ed if he were called a thief. Yet a court in Ohio recently convicted forty men of that caliber and allowed the publisher, who brought the suits. udgment to the full extent of the bI n every case. The crime charged was arccny. A few more cases may boom the collection business and cause le gions of poor editors to riso to sudden affluence. . RETT . XfUXJKEBY BTOTIE.

Smithy NUMBER 7. The Southeast Kansas TfMheN Associa tion, "Which couvened at Parsons last week was a grand success. Fully 700 teach ers were in attendance. Baxter Springs was well represented by her full corps fit teachers. Prof. Hull and Supt. Jarrett of Columbus added some forty to the party. Prof. Walker of Weir and his teacners joined them at Cherokee. All along the line ther representatives of Cherokee county entered the train at every station, joining the happy Baxter crowd. The teachers of Bourbon county met them at Cherokee so that (he "special" was packed with about 200 teachers, arriv ing at Parsons at 12 .'30 p. m. The people had arranged to givo free entertainment to all. The com mittee on entertainment saw that tnauy more were in attendance than they anticipated, but with spartan courage they "faced tliemn6ic" and nil were royally entertained for two days. At 2 o'clock promptly Prof. Harris introduced the president of the associ ation, Supt. Olin of Ottawa. Tho afternoon was spent in discussions on the following subjects: "Conscien tious Teaching," "The Teachers Prep aration," "Fuuction of the County In stitute." The opera house was well filled dur ing the first session. In the eveuing, after 1200 seats were filled there was not room for the balance. Prof. Can field of the slate university addressed the large audience. His subject was "The Fall of the Hon. Alcibiades Smith." His lecture was fillet I wjtlt the humorous, at times truly eloquent. His voice could bo beard distinctly in every part of the hall and he was ap plauded from the lirst sentence to tho last. Saturday was filled with able papers on the following subjects: "The fu ture of our public schools," "Tho teachers' auxiliaries," "The university aud its relation the high sshool," "Tho heritage of the pedagogue," "What does the state demand of our educa tional system ?" Although Cherokee county mar shaled almost 103 teachers, Neosho counly took the banner. AH teachers return d lo their work with pleasant memories of the S. E. Iv. T. A. , m - Joplin Herald: If rumors which are heard on the st-eets -hare any., foundation in fact Joplin will have some railroad building done this year. A life-sfted rumor was heard yester day to the effect that the Missouri Pa cific is not only contemplating extend ing the road to Chetopa, but also of building a branch to Pittsburg and a spur track to Grand Falls. The good prices which have ruled in broomcorn for several years past have engaged the attention of farmer once more, aud tho acreage for this year promises to be very large. Broom corn is as sure to reach a proper matu rity in this country as wheat, and is much safer than corn. At moderate lv fair prices It will pay two or three times as much per acre as either corn -or wheat. BEttRY CRATES. Fruit growers wanting crates and boxes write O. E. Skinner, Columbus.
