Master George Black as Willie Morton, was inadvertently left out of the cast of the Union Spy, as published yesterday. We learn from the Beacon that Mr. Kenyon, manager of the Chicago Lumber yard in this city intends removing to Wichita. Grand opening of the City Millinery will occur some time next week. Ladies will do well to examine their stock before buying.

W. K. Hittle will kill a bear to-morrow evening and offer the meat for sale Saturday morning, on the corner of 9th and Main street. No joke, this time, Bro. Greer.

The goods to be shown were personally selected by Miss Manstield on her recent visit to New York. Mr. Wood, of Wood Jettinger, returned from the east yesterday, having purchased a stock that will compare favorably with any in the city, and which will be offered to the public as soon as the building can be arranged. Mr. Taylor Fitzgerald, we are pleased to say, has become a fixture in this city and will remain.

Having a brother in the claim busiress at Washington, he is well situated to look after the pensions and bounties of our soldier boys, Mrs. Stump's opening of new fall millinery commenced this morning, and will continue to-morrow and Saturday. The funds in the hands of county treasurer Bryan, were counted yesterday and found to be positively correct. The amount is a trifle more than 000. The young men's party at the Hall was a very pleasant one.

About thirtylive couple "threaded the mazy" to the delicious music of Prof. Fero's band, and recruited exhausted nature with oysters in every style at Ledlie's Restaurant. Billy Smith is one of the most popular young gentlemen in Winfield social life, and as a business man, he has the full confidence of the community. He has the entire management of Mr. T.

J. Ekel's large lumber business in Wichita Beacon. The Cowley County Horticultural Society will hold their monthly meeting at the Court House on Monday, October 4th, 1880. All are invited to attend. J.

VAN DOREN, Secretary. The Young Men's Democratic Club will meet at the Court house en Thursday evening, at 7:30 o'clock. Business of importance is to be attended to, and all the members are requested to be present. Jos. O'HARE, President.

Yesterday afternoon, at the opera house, Mr. Finch gave his third and audience. Like old wine, use of lecture a large and admiring the dine which he deprecates so highly, he improves with age, and his last lecture was better than the first. It is possible he may return on the 27th to take part in the grand Temperance Mass Meeting. All hands were made happy this morning, by the receipt of a liberal supply of excellent cake, embracing several varieties, all of which were pronounced first-class, accompanied with a card on which was inseribed the legend: "Compliments of Mr.

Mrs. W. H. Hudson. The bride is well known as Lona Dillingham.

To describe the gratitude, or record the return compliments showered upon the happy pair by the recipients, would take more space than can well be spared. The Wellington Press says that last Thursday, Frank Chapman, implement dealer, left town, professedly, for the Kansas City fair. He was last heard from in Joplin, Missouri. Yesterday, the Moline Plow company attached his stock for a debt of $10,534. The stock will invoice less than $4,000.

It appears that Chapman paid up all debts in town and sold his property before he left. He also changed the combination of his safe the night before leaving. Robert Bent, interpreter for the Cheyennes, arrived from the East last Saturday, having with him the chiefs Big Horse, Bob Tail. Man-on-Cloud, Mad Wolf, Little Raven, Left Hand and Yellow Bear. They had been to Carlisle, and thence to Washington, where a council was held with the authorities.

They returned very well satisfied, and with no disposition to countenance another affair like the threatened outbreak of a month ago.Traveler. The New York Sun says of the Maine election, that it is not the loss of a Govenor by a handful of votes that so alarms the Republican leaders. But it is the utter failure of Blaine and his heutenants to fulfill at the polls their pledges during the canvass, which has aroused distrust in Republican circles everywhere. It is the wide difference between the present results and those of all the previous Presidential years, that has sent a chill of apprehension through the ranks of the party all over the country. We are indebted to Mr.

Will Hyden for many attentions and courtesies while in Winfield. Mr. Hyden is in the dry goods house of Messrs. Lynn Loose, and there is no more popular and capable salesman in Winfield than Will Beacon. The Beacon is slightly in error in regard to Mr.

Hyden's connection with the firm of Lynn Loose. Mr. Hyden was a long time with Hahn and is now engaged with the new firm of Wood Jettinger, who will shortly open a magnificent stock of new goods in the Maris building, formerly occupied by the first mentioned firm. Married. At the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs.

Dillingham, September 20th, 1880, by Rev. J. Cairns, Mr. William H. Hudson and Miss Leonora P.

Dilling- ham, both of Winfield. Marriage Licenses. Marriage Licenses. The following were granted by Judge Gans since our last publication: David S. Rose and Cornelia Clements.

W. H. Hudson and Leonora P. Dil- lingham. C.

W. Wooden and May B. Adams. Rose-Clements. the last Rose of summer." But not left blooming alone.

No! Not by no manner of means no how, as nobody knows on. He has added a rew luster to his name, and in the sweet by-and-by, when the little Rose-bud begins to bloom and blossom in the garden of his home, he may thank his stars for Clements! See? THE BENDERS. Governor St. John, upon the application of the county attorney of Labette county, has issued another requisition for the Benders. Weare requested not to say on what state the requisition is.

'The officials of Labette county feel very certain that this time there will be no mistake, and so do others who had from time to time been pretty well satisfied of their Commonwealth. On to Oklahoma. A small band of devoted pioneers will leave this city on Monday or Tuesday of next week, for the new Eldorado in the Indian Territory. The party is made up of Messrs. Nommsen, Sheels, Schroedter, Miller and Froelich, and one or two others, who will act in conjunction with a party from Wichita.

There is no secrecy about the matter, and no fears are entertained by the brave filibusters that Uncle Sam will present any obstacles to their entering and possessing the land. The surveyors, of whom Tell Walton is the chief, are said to have already gone below, and large parties from different sections of the state are expected to follow almost immediately. We shall see what we shall see. Married. At Caldwell, September 27th, 1880, by Rev.

G. G. Godfrey, C. R. Godfrey and Laura Godfrey, both of Wellington.

No event in the social circles of Wellington bas caused so much real pleasure to the friends of the contracting parties as Years ago, in consequence of a difference of tastes, they were divorced by mutual consent. During the intervening years, each has treated the other with a kindly, generous regard. Now that they have come to the decline of life, what is more fitting than that these two hearts that loved early and truly should be reunited in bonds never to be severed. A host of friends hope that their remaining days may ve days of unalloyed Ark. Valley Hon.

J. Wade McDonald, candidate for congress, addressed the convention at the close of its labor last Saturday. He spoke also in the Court House in the evening to one of the largest, most intelligent and refined audiences that ever greeted a political speaker in this city. His speech was masterly and argumentative and not a buncombe, claptrap tirade of abuse as is indulged in by republican campaigners. Ho proved to the satisfaction of every one present the right the Democracy has to its claim of being the only National party.

He reviewed in an able and convincing manner the bad record of the republican party, and also that of its standard bearer, J. A. Garfield. His speech was logical, convincing and was well received by the audience--republicans and democrats alike. Ark.

City Traveler: There are seventy-five head of stray horses between Kiowa and Bear creeks in Commanche and Clark counties, 100 miles west of this, that are unclaimed. They are of all sizes, brands, colors and ages; some harness and saddle marked, others apparently unbroken. A cattle man in Texas somewhat noted for purloining stock, took possession steer, and branded it I. C. U.

The owuer noticed it one day, drove it back to his corral and added the figure two to the brand, making it I. C. U. 2. Sixty-four head of cattle, branded ace of spades, are missing from Shultz's camp on Sand creek in Clark county, supposed to have been stolen and shipped at Caldwell or Hunnewell.

Dr. Chapel lost three head of cattle from murrain. This disease among cattle is frequently pronounced "Spanish fever" Wichita Beacon: Among other points of interest we took the opportunity of visiting when in Winfield last week, was Frank Manny's brewery, and his flower garden and grove. The latter is not connected with the the brewery, but is some distance north of it in a bend of a tributary of the Walnut and usually is almost surrounded by water. There are several acres in the garden and was laid out last May.

A winding roadway and serpentine paths traverse the park. He has a large quantity of rare plants and flowers, some of them obtained trom the east at a large expense, a handsome pagoda on the highest elevation and shady bowers scattered "promisucously around. We do not know if Mr. Manny is a landscape gardener by profes sion, if he is not, be has a natural and the best genius, for his plan has been to assist nature and carry out her Buggestions. Already it is a pleasant and popular resort for the people of Winfield regardless of politics, amendments or previous condition.

Manny is an enthusiastic horticulturist and in a few years will have a park that will be as well known in this valley as Shaw's garden is in St, Louis. He has a large brewery and makes good beer.

Louis, returning in two or three weeks to Winfield. The TEEEGRAM offers its heartiest congratulations, and trusts that the newly budded Rose may continue in bloom, fresh and sweet as now, in the garden of her new life, until in the fullness of time she shall be again transplanted into garden celestial, there to bloom in ever increasing loveliness throughout the cycles of eternity.
