darkness at the very time when
thieves get in their work is a mis
take and ought to be rectified. Let
us have light all night or no light at
all.

H. Adams, in the west part of the

his daughter, Miss Emma Daisy, to
Mr. Jas. A. Harris. The affair was
very quiet, only a few friends and

One day last week Ed. Carrigan,
the fast horse man of Kansas City,
and a double fisted, overgrown, bur
ly bull-dozer unmercifully whipped,
kicked and maltreated T. J. Mosier,
sporting editor of the Kansas City
Times, for a fancied wrong the Times
had done his brother, Pat Carrigan,
in using his name in connection with
a dog fight. The young man was
;hly and severely handled by
Carrigan, having his face stamped
into a jelly and his jaw bone broken
twice. Having no relations in the '
city the young man under the direc
tion of the managers of the Times
was taken to the hospital where he i
will receive the best of treatment.
In the meantime the Times has had
Carrigan arrested and from the plain
manner in which that paper talks, ed
itorially, the Jardine war has been
raised on Carrigan and if the brute
is not put beneath tho sod he will
wish he had never seen that reporter
ot heard tell of the Times. Every
paper in Kansas City has denounced
the act in the bitterest terms and
shown Carrigan up in his true light,
the ruffian that he is.

There arc drv goods dealers aud others, that handle
boots and shoes and claim to sell them less than the
regular1 dealers; advertise that it is no extra trouble
and they are at no extra expense and of course are so
public spirited and have the good of the dear public
at heart so much, that they will sell for leu than cost.
and if you will onlv buv your dry goods or clothing of
them, they will almost give you your shoes. When
ever such representations are made, they are willful
misrepresentations and you will have to pay increased
prices on dry goods or other goods, to make up on the
others. It is folly to expect that they will sell without
a profit, it Is an old time "bait" but a "bait" all the
same. Regular dealers can and do give better goods.
latest styles, more varieties and can give better satis
faction in 7 cases out of 10, than dealers who do not
make a specialty of the same. A live shoe dealer who
sells goods strictly on honor, gives satisfaction ia all
respects, attends to the details of his business, need
have no fears of the dry goods men, if there is enough
trade to make a special line a hviug. I have been
long enough In the business to know how the thing
works, and I am still to be found on the east side of
the square, with the biggest and best stock of boots
