Murray, the pretty little elocutionist, was hero and entertained a large and appreciative audience at the Music Hall last evening. She filled the highest expectations of her audience and showed herself to be an adept at impersonation. Her rendition of 'Enoch Arden was grand and beautiful, but it was on the 'Naughty Little Girl' that slie reached the climax, and did it so completely that we concluded she must be the naughty little girl You will save money by taking advantage of PIOKARD McELHANY'S great-Bargains in all Summer G-oods.

It is time now for the lawyers to be gin abusing each other. C. E. Fox is also at the hub to testify in the Howe-El wood case. Johnny Willard of the round house, took a trip to Washington.

G. Taylor Snyder who lives east of Greenleaf, stops at the county court house. Miss LenoiuK. Murray did not ap pear before our people on account of heavy rain. 1 People that are loft in Greenleaf are lonesome now, someone ought to send for them.

Cliff Clark, the proprietor of the north side bakery, is also courting. We don't know who. We noticed a sign at the foot of the court house stairs, "No witnesses al lowed up stairs." Will Taylor, the boss drayman, stop ped work to tell what he knows in the Howe-Elwood case. W. P.

Ware, of Weilei's collecting and tracing bureau, and editor of the Defender, is also at the seat of justice. The reason the Post was not down here Saturday was because it was mis laid at the hotel.

n. E. Patee, late of this city and Greenleaf, and reserve witness before court, is in the city as advance agent for Lenore K. Murray, the elocutionist, Sam Clark left for Springfield, last Saturday, where he goes as a wit ness in the Cora Lee trial. As soon as the jury is empanneled and evidence being taken the 1'obt will have a de tailed special report in addition to the regular press dispatches.

A delegation of young men are about to hold an indignation meeting to denounce Manager Fitch, of the Electric Light for putting out the light so early last night. They have been be fore a notary and each made oath that it was not eleven o'clock when they went home (though the affidavits do not say whether it was earlier or later and each has the testimony of his best girl that "Oh, dear! it couldn't have been that 'late when he started." It looks to us as though Manager Fitcli is not as careful of the feelings of these young people as he might be, but lie has the law on bis side, and we would suggest that the boys each chip in dollar a month and have the street lights run until "the dawn streaks the east" each Monday morning. We used to be young, too, and hence make no Continuation of the Testi monyLeaving the Prosecution Without a Hope. ho Elwood trial was renewed again this morning and witnesses for the de fense are being examined.

Cross-examined: That he did not keep a memorandum of the trimming of this pony's feet, because he did not charge anything; he did a great deal of work for Mr. Elwood; that a pony that once had the Texas itch hardly ever got all its natural colored hair back again; that he did not think the pony that he saw lying down at Carter's ever cofup again that ne could not swear positively that this was the pony that the little girl rode, but it looked just like it.

The rain last Friday' was accompanied by a tremendous hail storm about six miles north of, this city, occasioning great damage I to-, growing crops. The storm moved eastward and covered a strip of territory about two miles width. At Chalk Mound the wind turned over two or three light nouses, ana, we learn that three horses were killed; with the falling hail stones. The rain in other parts of the county was a great messing, as it started the creeks to running and came in good season for growing crops.

In Council Grove tho Neosho river rose two feet in thirty minutes. C. G. Guard. visitor in the city.

W. C. Wyman, of Atchison, is in tho city on business. W. Wieland, of Morrow, was a vis itor to the hub to-day.

II. Bichert, of Concordia, was in the city this morning. Mrs. M. Welch left this morning for a short trip in Nebraska.

M. M. Thompson and M. Bidway, of Kimeo, are in the city. A.

F. Arnold, of Koloko, came to the city this morning. Dave Evans left this morning for Emmons to purchase stock. Mrs. J.

A. Bice, mother of Mrs. J. W. Hector, will spend the summer in the city with her daughter.

T. M. Achenbach seems bound to make a city of Washington, and tho Port sincerely hopes he will succeed. No more adjournments. Let the college matter be settled to-night, and let it be settled in favor of the college.

Mickle Meiers, of Greenleaf, has his trial to-day before Baumberger. The charge against him was disorderly conduct. -Miss Hinton and Garber left this morning for Dows, and Judge Birch also departed for Concordia. They are on business of importance. II.

C. Sneers was in town' to-day thanking his stars that the present exhaustive drain on the treasury was not perpetrated during his administration. The Waterville and the home base ball clnbs will play a game at the fair ground Friday. It will be an exciting game, everyone should go and see the game. 7 It was lucky that Judge Hutchinson's court held a short session this morning as about a hundred Greenleaf people were engaged before Justice Baumberger in opening out the true inwardness of a family row, and they could not take in both attractions at once.

It takes several deputy county attorneys now to attend to the business from Greenleaf that is Crowding our courts. There is a large amount of dirty linen in that town and tho prime judicial agent of the county seems to have taken a contract to have it all washed as rapidly as possible. 'r Concordia has a notice published that on the 22d application will be made before Judge Hutchinson, in this city, for an order to extend the limits of that city so as to take in a large slice of Cloud county that now escapes city taxes. The description of the proposed additions takes up neatly four newspaper columns. The exercises at the Presbyterian church yesterday passed off pleasantly.

The church was beautifully decorated with plants and cut flowers, and the exercises were all interesting The music was of a very superior order and the recitations and reading were all good. The large congregation appreciated Children's Day as never before. Now that Washington and Waterville are matched for a game of base ball, our people should begin to read up on the great national game. Our religious editor will be detailed to re-part the game and will be provided with an iron mask and a shot gun. That it is a matter before which water works, the fair, the college, the new buildings and everything else pales there can be no question.

But, by the way, where is this Waterville that this ball club is coming from next Friday? Kansas towns can take the cake for newspaper enterprise, and they are no slouches either. A city in Kansas with a population of 500 is no city at all unless it has a newspaper, and most of those of twice that size have two, with a daily stuck in to hold things up to the proper notch. The result is that these papers have made Kansas what she is to-day, and are continually keep ing her and her wonderful climate, growth, productions and vast capabili' ties before the people of the east in such away that the facts stated are Dot enly convincing, but so strong that Our eastern bretbern are casting; long ing eyes toward us, and coming among us as fast as they can dispose of their clayey, rocky, stumpy farms. Then why not stand by your newspapers, and support them with a patronage and loyalty born of the good they are doing every day they exist? Quoting the paragraph going the rounds in which Congressman Morrill declared that Senator Ingalls was "a big advertisement for Kansas," the Wyandotte Gazette adds: We have heard men argue that the border ruffian war, the drouth of 1860, and the visitation of the grasshoppers, were magnificent advertisements for Kansas worth many millions of dollars. But in our opinion it the triumph of freedom over slavery, the gradual wiping out of the American desert, the train load of grain the gift of the people of the desert to the sufferers of Cincinnati and the banishment of the saloon from this sacred soil, that, has advertised this state as no other state was ever advertised.

Now may we not add renown to our exalted record by selecting representatives who cannot be classed among the misfortunes that seem to advertise the state because of their enormity SALE! supply, Call early and get Yours truly, Special inducements this week at Moore's Great Closing Sale.
