T.obert Aimsby, anattroof Monmouth, Illi
nois, whore the most of his relatives aro now
living. Ho came to this place about two
months since in company with an ;uucle who
purchased quite a large farm, over two hun
dred acrcf, furnished it with the necessary
farm implements, teams, etc., and gave it iu
charge ol the young man; also letters of credit
in one of the banks ol the city,wlth a promise
that if ho was successful on tho farm, and ex
pended his funds judiciously that he would
be ftirntshcd larger amounts and ho might
buy land and open out a thousand-aero farm,
ll ho so desired. But he had formed habits
of dissipation which he, seemingly, could not
shake oil, and, after spending a considerable
ofhis time in tho city in riotous living, ho
seemed to grow despondent aud sought to
put an end to his existence. Tho pistol used
was a Smith & Wesson. Tho ball entered ills
body about one and one-half inches above
the left nipple, passed through tho upper part
of tho left lung, striking the lower part of the
left shoulder blade and lodged in the bed
clothes. The wholo affair seems to have
been deliberately planned, as he had taken
off his coat and boots and laid himself dowu
on the bed and then did tho deed. Dr. Fur
ley was called, dressed tho wound and tho
probabilities are that he will recover.
The Meeting Friday Night.
The largest political meeting over held in
Wichita assembled last Friday ulght to listen
to addresses by Hon. S. A. Cobb, of AVyan
dotte, Hon. Thos. Ityan, ol Topeka, Tom Cav
anangh, Secretary of State, and J. Jay Buck,
ol Emporia. About sunset, several gentlemen
having the arrangements in charge, began tho
firing of anvils, and amid the booming of the
anvils and muic of tho baud a largo crowd
gathered, and when the time arrived lor tho
speaking to begin, Eagle Hall was filled with
a very intelligent audience, not less than one
hundred of whom were ladiC3. llr. Cobb was
the first introduced, and although wc have
heard him on several occasions, we frankly
admit that we never heard a happier effort,
for a brief extempore address. Jlr. Ityan fol
lowed in a strong appeat to Kepublicana to bo
true in tho future as in the past, to their prin
ciples. 21r. Buck rather surprised those to
whom he wa3 a stranger. He was very elo
quent, aud was heartily applau Jed. llr. Cav
anaugh said there was nothing left for him but
to tell stories, which ho proceeded to do with
the happiest effect. Tho meeting was enthu
siastic to the last degree, and when at tho close
W. C. Woodman, the president, said "this
meeting was called to ratify tho nominations
of Hayes and Wheeler, now let us ratify,
the audience will please rise to their feet,"'
the ladies waved their haudkerchiefs, with
three as hearty cheers by tho men as were
ever given for any cause.
It. II. Boys, an attorney from Michigan, has
opened a law office in the Centennial Block,
where ho will bo pleased to meet, at any timo
parties desiring legal advice or business. Mr.
Boys comes to our city with very strong en
dorsements, or letters ol recommendation
from some of the prominent citizens of
Lansing, Michigan.
There is work for the health officer ot this
city, and work, too, that demands immediate
attention. The amount ol filth in tho back
alleys ol this city is simply frightful to behold
and sickening to think of. With tho vast
amount of water that has fallen and the rank
vegetation, there necessarily arises a miasma
that will surely causo a great amount ot sick
ness if measures are not taken to guard against
it. True, the city authorities are doing some
thing in tho way of cleaning up the city,but tho
street commissioners, with one or two. nun,
aro not adequate for tho task. Let the health
officer go in person and take a look around
this city (and we will guarantee that he willgct
a smell us he goes along.) tako a lUt of the
names of tho property owners who have these
filthy out-houscs, pig-pons, cow-pcus and sta
bles, and have them notified immediately to
clean up. After cleaning up, disinfectants
must bo used freely, Lime is an excellent pu
rifier and is a cheap disinfectant. This much
the city can do aud have done, and it must be
done or the inhabitants of this citv at large
will have to suflcr the consequence.0. The
health interest of this city demands that im
mediate aud positive woik should be done to
ward cleaning up.
Ehcwhcro will be found the advertisement
ol the Kansas City Surgical and Medical In
stitute and Women's Hospital. The institu
tion is perfectly reliable. Dr. Cooley, who
has charge of the surgical department, has a
wide-spread reputation as a successlul practi
tioner. For lurthcr reference enquire of our
fellow townsman, J. A. Miller, who Is v, ell ac
quainted with the parties conducting it, and
he Will take pleasure in answering questions.
J. C. Meigher was quite badly hurt Friday
evening while engaged in firing the anvils.
While in tho act of pouring powder from a
can into the ring on ths anvil the powder took
tiro from eomo cause or other there seem j to
bo a difference of opinion how at any rate
the can exploded, a piece hitting Mr. Moigber
in the face, also a piece struck him in tho
thigh and made a very ugly wound, which
will tako a long time to heal.

For many years the Hcmington machine com
pany have attempted to force their machines
on the market as tho Hcmington, but failed,
which reminds me of several occurrences.
Fifteen years ago the third day of July, I was
in Bloomington Illinois, stopping with a
fricudbythenaraeorD.il. Horner. There
were two agents at the place, tho Wheeler &
Wilson and the Kemingtou. Tho Wheeler A
Wilson agent had confidence enough in his
machine to sell it on its own reputation, but
the Kemingtou agent's confidence failed him,
and he attempted to sell it as tho improved
Weed. Some five years ago, while I was sell
ing the Howe, I happened to meet an agent
that was selling ths Hcmington. Ho had as
little confidence in his machine as tho first
one I met, and he attempted to sell it as the
improved Howe, and 1 have been creditably
informed that the Hemington agents aro sell
ing their machines hero as the improved
Singer, which is false. There Is no improved
Singer except the original one, which cannot
be sold in the Southwest except by or
through me. Those who wish to buy the
Hcmington are welcome to, but I deem it my
duty to inform the good people of tho South
west, through the columns of your paper, so
they will not bo imposed upon in buying ma
chines. A machine that cannot bo sold on
its own reputation should not be sold on the
merits of a machine that has been long tried
and proved, without doubt, the best in the
world. The impositions offered are of the
deepest dye. W. JIasox,
General Agent for tho Southwest.

The old Progressive corner has finally Iot
its Identity, in one respect. It was built
about four yeais ago, for a faloon and gam
bling hall. Tho gambling business has long
since been stopped and tho bar fixtures and
whisky were removed from tho lower story

II. C. Sluss, of Wichita, called on us last
Friday. He was in charge of Capt. Balderston
and were on their return from tho judicial
committee meeting at WinGgld. They seemed
to bo a happy brace of fellers, cause you know
they were out electioneering, end to appear
pleasant to make a good impression on us fel
lows who Ilvo away from the metropolis. But
thai that interested us most was a "little" two
dollar note that XI. C. put down as a subscrip
tion to tho Independent which wc pocketed
with as much pride as a boot-black fobs his
nickloand proudly cries out "next!" wo
lelt like it. We had almost forgot to say that
Mr. Sluss is a candidate for judge of the ISth
judicial district, and if elected will make a
good judge. Oxford Independent.
A visit to Wichita a fv days ago, to attend
the Democratic ratification meeting.conlirmcd
all that we havo been hearing and reading,
during tho last two or three years, of the
wonderful development that has been going
on there. From a town of about two thou
sand inhabitants that we lound tbero four
years ago, It has grown to bo a thriving, pros
perous young city of lour thousand or more,
and is decidedly the liveliest place, in the
way of business, to be found in Kansas. From
morning till night its streets are thronged
with people aud teams its merchants and
business men busy, and every indication !
an active, ueauuy iraue. Auout tho railroad
depot, especially, the streets arc ordinarily
crowded with wagon loads and buyers of
wheat. Wichita is the market town of a very
largo breadth ol country, and as tho crops for
two year have been very excellent, and the
Immigration heavy, the towu is enjoying, and
promises to enjoy lor many years in the lu
ture, an extraordinary degree of prosperity
and development. Lawrence Standard. '

The counties of Sedgwick, Sumner, Cowley and Butler comprise au area of the Lest agricultural land Avc3t of the
Mississippi valley. The Arkansas river runs diagonally through the counties named, forming of itself an extensivs
valley ranging from seven to twelve miles iu width. Other streams of less magnitude, such as the Little Arkausa
Ncnescah, Walnut andAVhitcwater rivers, Slate, Bluff, Spring, Gypsum, Chisholm and Cowskin creeks, diversify the
country with fertile valleys. The soil of the valley and uplands is a rich sandy loam, several feet in depth Vegeta
tion of all kinds is unsurpassed. Climate temperate, equahlc and healthy. Thousands of acics of laud arc open to
settlement under the pre-emption laws for the sale of the Osigc Indian lands, which arc unsurpassed in fertility in any
section of the staie. and in no other part can cheap homes he purchased with all the advantages of "cod s,oii, climate
