The ice cream sociable was largely attended, but the threatening storm curtailed the festivity. Heavy wind and rain storm gouth Tuesday night. The tail end of the storm struck this city, doing no dam ace. C. A. Fitzgerald has gone to San Antonio for a few weeks, and will then go East, returning to Dodge City this fall. When Petillon makes onslaught on pie, there is a clatter between his molars. As a pic devourer he takes the cake. Frank C. White, foreman of the Herald, Hammondsport, N. Y. was in the city this week, and gave this office a call. Mr. "White is a nepthew of Judge Strang of Larncd. We must again call attention to the fact that a number of glass have been broken in the windows of the public school building. Whoever is found breaking windows will be prosecuted according to law. Miss Laura Moore returned last Fridayfrom Las Vagas, and was making her home with her aunt, Mrs. O. Marsh. Miss Moore, on Tuesday, re ceived a dispatch from her home in Chetopa, stating that her brother was very sick, and she left on the noon train of Tuesday for that place. The Nellie Boyd Dramatic Company will perform in Dodge City Saturday evening. Lucretia Borgia, a sterling dramatic piece will be presented. The .Nellie Boyd troupe have performed in Dodge several times before and gave general satisfaction. We have no doubt a crowded house will greet the company on Saturday night. Rev. Robert Loehrer, the Catholic minister, has gone to Chetopa, Kansas, where he will remain in future and discharge his pastoral duties. His place here will be supplied by Rev. Mr Wondcrlage. We regret Mr. Loehrer's departure. He was generally respected by our citizens. He is an energetic and industrious worker for the church. There was a heavy rain and hail storm north and northeast on Monday night. Very little rain fell here. At James Janes' place, four miles north east, considerable hail fell destroying his crops. Hail as large as hen's eggs were picked up. Two huge chunks of ice broke through the " roof of Mr. Janes' house. The rain and hail storm is described as heavy and severe. The Fourth of July. The Knights of Pythias of this city are making arrangements for a parade and drill on July 4th. The society is dril ling twice a week for the occasion. Arrangements are being made for a grand ball and banquet, July 4th, under the auspices of the Kuights of Pythias. Invitations have already been issued for the ball and banquet. We have no doubt the Fourth of July affair wril be a worthy one and highly entertaiuing. The managers of the entertainment will do everything to make the ball and banquet a success. A burglar attempted to enter F. C. Zimmermann's store Wednesday night of last week. The shutter was re moved and a pane of glass broken in the back window, when an alarm or noise inside caused the burglar to desist Several robberies have been committed J - in the city; the" valuables of some of the boarders at" the Iowa House have been taken while the inmates were asleep. It is time the thieves and burglars were hunted down and made to suffer the penalty of their offenses. Suspicious characters are not tolerated in the city when their true characters are found out, but it appears a few hard eases are lingering here yet. The vagranUict i being enforced. - Mrs. Gossct ami Miss Gossett, who have been visiting Cr. M. Hoover's fam ily, for some weeks past left on Monday for their home in Illinois. The young men of Dodge have chal lenged the Kinsley boys to a match game of base ball on the 4th of July. This will be an interesting feature of the fourth. Killed by Lightning. J. H. McClaugherty, a cow man, was struck by lightning, on the Cimarron river, Monday night, and instantly killed. The deceased formerly resided in Monroe county, W. Va. The body was brought to this city by.C. M. Beeson, and was buried in the cemetery, a large number of citizens attending the funeral Tuea'day evening. Col. J. W. Straughn writes from Alma, Colo,. June 18th. "The snow is so heavy yet that no work out of doors can be done the worst for many years; though our neighbors are at work right along. They are taking out some very nice ore, and it concentrates fine. Grub is high. Flour is $12 to $14 per hundred; bacon 35 cents per pound; lumber $75 to $100 per thousand. ' The sunset Tuesday evening would have delighted the poet and the painter. There was presented a picture on the sky more charming and more lovely than artist can paint and poet describe. The tinted clouds formed an arch and the shadowy rays of the sun shot up ward, the panorama having the appear ance of a keystone, variously colored, and making an illustration seldom wit nessed on the canopy closing the setting sun. SUED FOR LIBEL. W. F. Petillon, a pic-eater from Chicago, said to have come to this country for the benefit of his health, brings suit against the editor of the Dodge City Times, to recover dam ages to the extent of $10,000. This modest demand is for an alleged libel against Petillon' s character. The statement appearing in the Times of last week, wherein we characterized Petillon as a "distinguished bond ex tractor and champion pic-eater. ' ' We shall admit the truth of the statement that "Petillon is a bond extractor," but we shall retract the statement that Pe tillon is a pie-eater." We have been better informed on charges we have made. While there is a general belief that Petillon has extracted several bonds and papers in the District Court, there is an impossibility as to the sec ond allegation. We have consulted the free lunch stands in the city and find .that Petillon takes to soup and beans as kindly as a duck takes to water. ABOUT PIES. During the war the bakers and fruit venders manufactured a pie which has since become famous in history, and generally known as the "Lincoln pie," so-called by the colored people from the days of the rebellion, in honor of the savior of their race. The pie is a whole meal in extent of its inside fil lings. To the darkey the pie is meat and bread, and vegetables thrown in, the ingredients or make-up of the pie serving the purpose of supplying the wants of the inner man. The colored man's peculiar genius, or his instinct is keener than some others on the com pound of a pie, has furnished the world with a suitable pie and also shown his gratitude by conferring the honor of the great man's name to the pie. Younger people, or those unacquainted with the history of the war of the re bellion, will have no recollection on the famous pie question. But it is our duty to refresh history, hence we bring up the "Lincom" pie, as the black boys call it. In the eastern States this pie is still considered the. Alpha and Omega of the darkey's feast, There are other pies equally celebrated. There is the pumpkin pie as old as the landing of the pilgrims. There is the mince pie, similar to the Lincoln pie in make up. The custard pie and the apple pie ad iufinitum. The pie-eater chooses from the galaxy of pies, and according to season relishes the pie suitable to the occasion. Just now the "Lincum' ' is in its glory. Speaking of pies reminds us that pies figure in history more than we imagine, unless we take time to give the matter a thorough overhauling in our minds. It is said that a good deal of the disorder in the digestive apparatus is attributed to the pie crust. During this disar rangement it is said that the strongest passions of love and hate are engen dered. If this be true, then love is responsible to the pie. If this be true then anger or hate is responsible to pie. It is pie that is the source of our in- ternal commotions, and it is pie that causes war and family feuds. To pie is accountable of the lore spring that emanates from the youth's fascinating heart. It is under the indigestible agony of pie that the tender love pro posals are made, It is to pie that we owe our $10,000 libel suit, for under the indigestibility of the pie, the intro ducer of this suit was laboring, hence the champion pie-eater is getting to the front SPEAREVILLE ITEMS. Miss Anna Shuman daughter of R. E. Shuman, returned from Topeka last week, having been absent several months attending the Washburn Col lege. Mr. Benton arrived last week from Dlinois, and is visiting his son H. I. Benton, one of our well known sheep men. A dance at Prof. Eastman's on Monday night last, was one of the pleasant affairs of the week. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lawrence, of Ontario county, New York, are here visiting their sons W. A. and Myer Lawrence. Mrs. T. W. Langely arrived here on Wednesday from Colorado and joined here husband here, where they expect to remain for several weeks. Miss Flora Stewart, daughter of T. B. Stewart, returned Wednesday lust from Manhattan, where she has been for several months past attending college. The woolen shepherds around here arc fleecing their sheep of their year's growth of wool, and no doubt a large portion of it in the shape of ready made clothing will fall in the hands of the sheep clothing merchants' well known in our large cities, and eventual ly the consumer flcecest. The ancient shepherds were noted for their good ness and Godliness. We would be glad to regard the modern shepherds for the same noble qualities but cannot think of it on account of their being so much fleecing j carried on in and eminating from their business. Our citizens are making arrange ments to celebrate the 4th of July by having a Sabbath school pic-nic at Rolans Grove, a beautiful place on the banks of the wcried and winding Saw Log stream that is given to extremes. The committe on arrangements have not met as yet, therefore we cannot say what the programme of the day's enter tainment will be, but we feel assured that there will be quite an effort made to have a grand good time. There is a cordial invitation extended to all to join us in celebrating that day in com memoration of our National Indepen dance. resulting in a union of States, cemented together by the priceless blood of thousands of brave soldiers who yielded their lives that the grand est and most magnanimous government on the face of the earth might exist. A Change in Rates- The following was issued by the Santa Fe road, which willl go into effect about the 12th of July: The public is hereby notified that Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail road company for the purpose of har monizing its freight classification with those prevailing east of the Missouri river, will, on July 15, 1883, make a change in its classification resulting in a general reduction of rates, but ad vancing the rates slightly on a few articles. The principal articles on which rates will be advanced are as follows: Baskets, batting, blinds, broomcorn, boats, boxes, chinaware, drums, fans, furniture, (a few items,) gasoline, granite, handles, hides, ladles, iron nails and wire, (reduced in less than car loads and advanced slightly in car loads,) straw goods, tallow etc. There will be a change in the princi pal car load rates on grain, flour, im plements, live stock, lumber, etc. J.

Board of Agriculture has information from a number of correspondents, covering almost the en tire state, concerning the condition of the growing crops. The wheat harvest will commence within a week. Al though the acreage is short of that of last year, the yield per acre will be above the average for the past five years. The area of corn is greater than ever before, and although back ward in some localities, the state has never had such a prospect for a big corn crop. In some fields the stalks are fully six feet high, with an ex cellent stand. The weather is ex tremely propituous, and with season able rains for a few weeks this impor tant crop will be assured. Choice cul-. tivated farms in the state are command ing $30, $40, and even $50 per acre, while hundreds of thousands of acres of upland prairies are being enclssed with wire fences for pasturage. The future outlook is extremely encouraging. 'Bob" Burdette, out of the kindness of his heart, has suggested an eminent ly fitting and useful occupation for the dude: to teach sparrows how to feed and live on mosquitoes. A case of two birds with one stone. STOCK GATHERINGS. Plenty of grass and water and stock doing well. See the advertisement of large stock ranch in Texas for sale. -P. G. Reynolds "has a fine lot of cows and calves running on the range north. G.Longeudyke, of Pawnee Valley, was in the city this week. He is adding more fine stock" to his herd. Sheep shearing has been in pro gress with good results. The wool clip being large and excellent. Mr. Goodnight is driving 2000 beeves for shipment at this point. The cattle are to be fed in the east. R. W. Tarbox, who is holding sheep northeast of here lost a few head. He" was making diligent search for them at last accounts.. The brand of Pratt & Pratt ap pears in this issue. This firm ships fine cattle to this market. They have for sale fine stock. The following is from the Fort Worth Journal and it finds an applica tion in Kansas: In a few years men who have no title to ranching land or at least td a sufficient water front to control a range, will be driven out of the business or forced to buy lands at greatly increased values. Land that can now be bought for three dollars an acre will in a few years cost six, and all other grades of grazing lands in proportion. This may very reasonably be construed as advice to ranchmen to fortify themselves with titles to their ranches and water privileges. The stockmen of Ness and Hodg man counties met in convention at Sidney, Kansas, June 8th. A large number of representative cattle men were present, and much general busi ness relating to their business was transacted. The following officers wre elected: G.
