Thank'giving day was observed after a
fashion in Wichita. Business houses kind
o'hair clo'ed and half not. There appeared to
be a kind of wavering, an indecision, as to
whether it was just the proper and profitable
thing or not. The address or Rev. Turnbull
lor it was xu address rather than a set ser
mon to the united religious societies of the
place, was a happy and entertaining effort. It
was patriotic and solid, still entertaining and
enlivening, being thoroughly enjoyed by ail
who heard it.
Tho Topcka Cov.menueaUh announce) a
holiday edition, which will contain a vast
amount or matter or State-wide interest. Be
ing a political daily published at the capital of
tho Slato much more is expected of it than ot
dailies issued in cities or even commercial
importance with Topcka, still it has not dis
appointed its friends or the Republican party .
All bickering, rivalries and jealousies aside,
wc must say that throughout the campaign
just closed the ComwrntceaUh has not only ac
complished a good solid work, but has
evinced an enterprising spirit which entitles
it to the confidence of the Republican party
In the State, and to a high rank among west
ern journals. It has proved almost invaluable
to leading country papers as also to leading
politicians throughout the State. In fact, the
Commonictalth, is a good, reliable, newsy pa
per, as tree of vv isby-wasby nothings as ol per
sonal I meet he, and being published at the
capital is fndhpcnsiblc to any one who de
sires to keep posted about State affairs or has
a penchant for party affairs or tho doings or
political men.

01 the capabilities eflhe society, wo do not
spcak.and of the probabilities we defer to some
future time.
jt was w Juno wucn we duiv and cravclT
charged all the boys about the ofilco to bo
good while we went away off down to Phila
snadelfy. Probably two weeks had clipscd
when we turned to a gentleman, who was
standing in Iront or Memorial Hall, dressed In
the extrcmest fashion, to ask tho meaning of
those big brenze horses, forty hands high,
with wings on their backs, and which were
tied up to girls for hitching posts. It wasn't
the answer so much as tne unexpected voice
that took us down. It was no other than
Tommy Holmes, who bad been under our
nose as devil, pressman and foreman for four
ycar. We intimated to him that tho Eagle
would kick his last flap unless ono or us
started for home immediatcly.and wc guessed
lie vyas that one. He wanted one more day
to do'thc exhibition in and he would pull out
for the setting tun. Well, wo never caught
another glimpse of that boy's bright head un
til this morning, when he came poking into
the office. He said he guessed he had taken
the wrong train, and wanted to know wheth
er we were coming out tor Tilden or Grant.
Wc answered, "we guess so," and he pulled
off his coat, ami the next time he gets a chance
to take the wrong train, won't bo soon.

The investigation or the charges preferred
against the Rev. A. II. Lackey, ot Peabody,
by the Presbytery or Emporia, in session in
that town, was concluded last Friday morn
ing. After remaining in session nearly two
weeks this church, when its final vote was
taken, decided that the charges were not
proven. But, in as mucn as in the trial there
was developed a looseness in business habits,
and imprudent conduct on the part or the ac
cused, he was advised by the Presbytery
that In the iuture he should be moro careful
as to the management of his business aflairs,
hasty remarks and imprudent engaging in
political and secular matters. This decision
wo believe is generally received with approv
al. This minister, having more than ordi
nary ability, has been very successful In the
past and wc trust will be even more so in tho
iuture.
Rev. J. P. Harsen preached his filth anni
versary sermon last Sabbath. The loilowing

Mention last week was niado of an effort
to get the Wichita Library Association upon
its feet again, and of a meeting of the direct
ors. We did not know at that timo that ono
or the original directors and an earnest friend
of the enterprise had been at walk in a prac
tical manner for some time soliciting sub
scriptions, but such was the fact. The list,
when wo saw it contained over eighty names
and over lour hundred dollars. That simply
rucaiis that the library is an assured tact. As
soon as the list reaches a round hundred wc
will publish it.
Thcro has been so much coming and going
this Centennial summer that it has been no
slight task to keep the run of our people.
But they arc about all at home now and we
perceive no disposition to trot any more this
winter. C. F. Gilbert, who spread .his Cen
tennial into contmcntial bounds, returned to
Wichita last Friday. Ho spent somo three
months of the summer wandering through
the gorges and climbing the peaks of tbe
Rocky mountains, swinging .from thence to
Fairmount Park in the hazy days of October,
then back to the home of his parents at Cin
cinnati, where another month was spent. He
has improved much in health, "pints ind ap
pearance and we welcome him back.

by imported Jordon, 2nd dam Wino by
Woodpecker (the sire or Gray Eagle.)
Modoc is a beautiful blood bay with black
points, 1G hands high, weighs about 1,100
pounds and in form and symmetry will com
pare favorably with any horse in the country.
He was loaled April Ctb, 1S71 ; being bred for
the stud more particularly ; consequently has
been bandied but little, but has splendid ac
tion, and shows great promise or speed. He
is a splendid breeder. I have two orhis colls
jearllngs, at my stables, that I will take
great pleasure in showing, one or which we
have been driving a little that wc think wil
rank favorably with any horse in the United
States. He will bo exhibited in harness at the
Wichita fair next week. Anybody conv ersant
with tho stud book will see at a glance his fam

on the other side trotters equal

season at the Wichita Stud Stable, com
mencing Sept 1st at the very low price of
$25 the season, with the privilege ot return
ing mare in the spring it she fails to breed or
another in her place ; which makes it equal to

The Singer Sewing Machine.
Over one million and a hair in use. The
most durable and lightest running machine in
the world. As an evidence, the Singer, Rcm
iugton and Wheeler & Wilson were invented
about the same time and put into market, and
at the present day tho Singer has over one
million and a hair In use, tbe Wheeler & Wil
son has about five hundred thousand and the
Remington has the small, insignificant num
ber or five thousand nine hundred and fifty-
three, which can be seen on the upper end ;of
tbe needle burr, which makes the Remington
the last choice ot the people, and they would
not have sold one quarter that number had
they not sold them under a fictitious name.
For many years the Remington machine com
pany have attempted to force their machines
on the market as the Remington, but failed,
which reminds me of several occurrences.
Fifteen years ago the third diy of July, I was
in Bloomington Illinois, stopping with a
friend by the name or D. fl. Horner. There
were two agents at the place, the Wheeler &
Wilson and the Remington. The Wheeler
Wilson agent had confidence enough in his
machine to sell It on its own reputation, but
the Remington agent's confidence Tailed 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 the Remington. Ho had as
little confidence in his machine as tbe first
one I met, and he attempted to sell it as the
Improved Howe, and 1 havo been creditably
informed that the Remington agents are sell
ing their machines here as the improved
Singer, which is raise. There is no Improved
Singer except the original one, which cannot
be sold in the Southwest except by or
through int. Those who wish to buy the
Remington aro welcome to, but I deem it my
duty to inform tho good people of the South
west, through the columns or your paper, so
they will not be imposed upon in buying ma
chines. A machlno that cannot be sold on
its own reputation should not be sold on the
merits of a machlno that has been long tried
and proved, without doubt, the best in . the
world. The impositions offered are of the
deepest dye. W . Mason,
General Agent for the Southwest.
