The merchants of Arkansas City deserve the success they are achieving, for they believe in and practice liberal advertising.

tainment on the minstrel order, to be about New Years. They are given great entertainers, has stood nearly all kinds of slander and can continue to bear them for the sake of the advertisement, but this talk about open saloons is getting monotonous. The marshal authorizes us to say that there is not what may be called an open joint or saloon in this city today; that if there is any place where liquor is sold it is in some secret, out-of-the-way place where the officers are unable to find it. From which we infer that the $100 fine 18 too much for the jointists. To people who burn wood in their stoves and furnaces, and there are some in the city, it might be well to suggest the danger of stowing away in their cellars any great amount of that kind of fuel.

It is liable to get fired by accident at any time and should suoh a thing occur, the fire is almost sure to the building before it could be extinguished. It is quite a natural trick in mice and rate, as well as children, to carry matches into a cellar and set them off. A fire started in a cellar is a very dangerous thing to life and propertv. We are authorized to announce that a very beautiful cantata is to be given on the night of the 23rd in the Fifth Avenue opera house. It will be rendered by some of the musical talent of this city, and represents a midnight on the streets of ancient Bethlebem.

In ord.r that this beautifu! performance may be seen and enjoyed by all, popular prices have been fixed upon, and it is quietly puggested by one who knows what is coming, that those who miss seeing the angels and hearing and seeing the wise men and the shepherds, will greatly regret it. As A. T. Williams and brother who live ten miles west of town, were driving along the canal on their way up town from the lower mills on Tuesday, some men who were running a hand car on the Santa Fe switch, pulled up close to them and raised such a racket with their yelling and whistling that Williams'team became badly frighiened and ran away. The Williams were thrown out of their wagon and one of them dragged for some distance.

The horses then got away from the driver and after "stringing out" the wagon to some extent, were stopped near the old cracker The men were bruised up some but not seriously hurt; the wagon was badly damaged. The section gang seemed to be trying to the horses and the Williams would have been doing the proper thing if they had caused their arrest bor their disorderly conduct. Mr. Williame, during the ranaway, lost a gold watch charm which be would like to recoven PURELY, PERSONAL. C.

They were James Wanner, Gould, Copple, I. McLaughlin, Charles Howard and PS Gilgis. The inquiry lasted till 3 p. m. and the following witnesses were examined: Haines and Frank Guy, who work at the barn where Taylor died, Wilson, Schamp, James Watson, A Miller and Dr Reed.

The gist of the evidence was that Haines and Taylor came in from Oklahoma Tuesday noon and stopped at the feed burn. They had some business to attend to and did a great deal of walking around town; got dinner at a restaurant and drank some whiskey; 1e- turned to the barn about 11 o'clock that night and went to bed; during the night Taylor became very sick and called for some water; Haines, Guy and Schamp attended to his wants and went to bed again. Taylor coughed a great deal and seemed to suffer for awhile, but finally got quiet and the men thought he was asleep. The three men left their beds early in the morning and when Haines weat back to call Taylor he found him dead. He had nothing of value on his perexcept a watch, revolver and $2 in cash.

Haines telegraphed Taylor's friends in Neosho County and at er but has had no answer. Drs. Reed and Anderson performed the examination ordered by the coronor on the body of Frank Taylor who WAS found dead at the barn acrossthe Arkan8a8 river and the following in brief is their report: We find no external marks of violence. Hair black and skin dark colored, height 5 ft. 10 inches, body poorly nourished and swollen somewhat over chest and abdomen with apperance of having been dead about 36 hours.

Rigor mortis not well marked. The body being opened in the usual way the stomach was found to be empty and normal. The liver normal in size and color with exception of changes resulting after death. The bowels were distended with gas but otherwise healthy. was no serum fonnd in the peritonerl cavity.

The lungs were congested and filled with blood but otherwise normal. The pleural cavity was moderately filled with serum. The heart was normal in size and structure, the right ventrical was distended with 8 brood clot, the other cavities of the heart were empty. The pericardi, wes somewhat desten. ded with serum.

It is our opinion the immediate cause of death was paralysis of the heart due to effusion and accumulation of serum in the pleural and pericardial cavities and not the result of violence or administration of poison but due to diseased condition from caused. The coroner's jury found that the deceased came to his death naturally and that the direct cause was congestion of the lungs. Editor DISPATCH: The "gag" rule enforced last night by and through Tyler H. McLaughlin at the Business men's club against the more honorable and wise suggestion of Mr. Danks, juetifies myself and ot.ar thembers and ex-members in believing that the club should have a proper natue and that it be Tyler H.

MeLanghtin's club instead of Business mela club. The action of the club in receiving further instructions from Mr. McLaughlin in adopting against all present has rule excluding everybody from the room, not members, was an insult to the intelligence of members, and one of our worthy citizens who bad come up that night to offer his name for membership. Whom the gods wish to destroy they Arst make mad. In a few days proof will be ample, if the gentlemen org urizing the board of trade association mean anything by their charter that has been prepared.

A lady writes thus: "The scene upon entering Dr. Houser's lecture rooms are at once so striking, so exquisite, so bewildering, the observer is unconsciously carried into another world, and strangely seems to live another life. Ghosts poiselessly glide about and whisper unearthly things in almost enchanted ears. And every object of the many takes part in the carnival of awful silence until these unspeakable spectres actually gain your confidence, and you draw toward them with an. insatiate desire to learn something, but you know not what, and this spell is only broken by Prof.

Houser's presence and address, which in some inexplicable way mingles the ghosts and the audience together in his own style, which I will not try to plain, as that has often been attempted but never done. To us ladies it was a peculiarly rare and strange treat that we shall never forget." Resolutions of Respect. Arkansas City lodge, 160, at its last meeting, passed the fullowing resolutione; Whereas, It has pleased God in his infinite wisdom to remove from ou midst our worthy and beloved brother, Amos W. Conway; therefore be it Resolved, That we humbly though tearfully submit to the decree of our all wise God; being assured by the teachings of our order, though we bid farewell to our brother for the season we shall see and meet hun again, That in his death the family loses a kind and loviny band and an affectionate fate- and uus- the order a devoted womb: Jer.
