The Republican candidates began to gather in Columbus early Monday morning. From that time until the wee wild hours, there was trading fixing and soft words which came from anxious hearts and brought little balm of joy.

John Eiscnhart, of Hcammonville, dropped into the Star office, Tuesday last and made the printers heart glad by prying up his sub scription. Mr. Eisenhart is a Republican, but says the Star suits him better than any other county paper. L. N.

Pittsburg Smelter. We have often beard the question asked, "how it is that. Law ton and Woodruff are making over two-thirds of the real estate loans in this county." The reason is, "they are getting money direct from investors In the cities of Philadelpha, New York, Boston, Westchester, Harttord, Haven, Wilmington, Providence, and other moneyed centers in the east. They are receiving orders for loans at the rate of $30,000 per week from these parties, and are offering the monev at the lowest rates of interest, and making the examinations of securities themselves, and also writing the bonds and mortgages in their own office. By this borrowing money from them, saves one commission, and effects a saving in time of from 10 to 30 days.

The work he represents is invaluble to all students. We heartily reccommend it to those who desire to perfect themselves in general education. Speaking of the work, the San Francisco Monitor says: This useful and beautiful Atlas fully bears out the description by wbich-it is designated on the title page as the "Unrivalled Atlas of the World." In the course of many years of editorial life we have had occassion to become acquainted with dozens of different atlases, but we must say that, for variety and correction of information, Cram's Atlas Is well entitled to the distinctive appellation. "Unrivalled." The maps, statistics and engravings have all been prepared expressly for this work at a great expense and if critically examined will be found to compare favorably with other works which cost far more money. This Atlas should be in the possession of every school, student, professional man, merchant and family on the Pacific coast." Married.

At the residence of Dr. E. A. Scammon, this city, Thursday evening; fept, 17th J. F.

Shotts to Miss Anna E. Snevely, Rev.H. W. Chaffeeofflciating. Only relatives of the contracting parties were present.

J. F. Shotts Is vice president of the Columbus bank. He Is a man of fine business qualifications, always attending strictly to the day's duties as they present themselves before him. He is well furnished with this world's goods and has only his own energy and perseverence to thank for that fact.

He is honest and eoncienclous in all his dealings. He is an active member of the Presbyterian church, this city, and teaches the young men's Bible class. Mr. Shotts was a soldier in the late war. He Is now in the prime of life.

Mrs. AnnaK. Shotts, nee Snevely, came with her mother, to Columbus, years ago, and has always occupied high and responsible position among the young ladies of the city. She was a school-mate to the writer. As a pupil in the public schools, she was always ladylike, studious and thorough.

She gained a wide reputation as a grammarian and mathe-metician and se highly was she honored that during busy times In school she repeatedly taught her own classmates. In that position found so trying by others, we know of no Instance in which she ever aroused the antagonism of any member of the class. From early life she has been hard working and Industrious. For several years she was a teacher In the public schools, and, as such, her success was sq pronounced that she was nominated county on the Republican county ticket of 84. She is a consistent working member of the M.

E. Church, this We join with many friends in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Shotts a long, prosperous and happy life. IE He was born in Henry County, Dec.

24th. 183. and died on his armjiear Columbus Cherokee county Kansas, at four minutes past 8 o'clock p. tc. on Sabbath evening.

Sept ember 21st '85, of congestive rhills. He was married to CynthaB. Brown, Sept. 18. 1868.

From this union were born three children. viz: Walter. Stanley, who died July 7.1870 Herbert Stanley, who died April 7, 1873; Alfa-retta Stanley, now living, was born Novem ber 15, 1881. Religiously Mr. Stanley was a member of the Society of Friends, and died believing in the God of his Fathers, and trusting in the Saviour of sinners.

He was mild in his Man ners affable and courteous in conversation. kindly considerate in his intercourse amongst his fellow men; he was strictly and religious ly honest, was a loving and kind husband, an affectionate father and friend. Little Mary and John Brown, his dead sister's baby chil dren, that he fed, clothed and schooled as his own, will long and sincerely mourn him as a father. He fell, not as a seared leaf, but in the full vigor of manhood's prime, by the hand of his Master who gathers his sheaves when ripe. The neighbors sympathize with his sorrowing widow and shed tears of sorrow over his untimely demise.

He was burled in the friends burying ground, near Timber Hill, beside his sister, the first wife of John Brown. "One by one the leaves are falling." Opening of School. One week ago last Monday morning, many children gathered about the school buildings. Most of them had such happy looking faces and seemed so cheerful that I felt sure they were glad to have school begin again. I wish, Mr.

Editor, that you and many other editors could have been in my office from 8:30 to 10 o'clock on the first day of the school Pu pils who last year attended schools in Indiana, were there to be examined, and placed in classes, others from Ohio, Illinois Arkansas and Missouri. Pupils were there who were not present at'the final examinatson held last May. I wish you could have heard the reas ons for being absent from that examination Some were sick. Others had to stay at home because father, mother, brother, sister, aunt, uncle cousin nephew niece or some other rel ative was sick. Others were out in the coun try- Thus the excuses came some good oth ers worthless, but in almost every case, of course, tho pupil wished to enter the class in which be recited last year notwithstanding the fact that he was not present to be examin ed and promoted in the regular way.

However, the questions were answered and the pupils so classified that they are taking hold of cheerfully and with a determi nation to learn; if editors and parents could be induced to come and observe the difficulties and obstacles to be overcome in school work, they would pen and speak few words censuring teachers. I feel like urging the patrons of our school and the citizens of Col umbus to come and generally visit the schools. The visits encourage both pupils and teachers. Columbus has tho best school building and grounds in Cherokee county. Let parents, pup" and teachers unite in work and maKe the schools the best in scholarship in all respects.

We teachers have too much work to do to bring it up to an ideal standard. Two more rooms and two more teachers are needed to furnish proper desk room and sufficient teaching force. If tbe district were not debt, I should feel like earnestly urging the Board of Education, to supd'v tbe rooms and tea chers. But the d'str'ct is In debt. This being the case, I state the fact that tbe rooms are crowded and tho teach'ng force is not suffi ciently arge.

Conc'us'on: If for any reason more room is not provided do not censure teachers to severe'y. for defects school work. Theywi'l do the best they can under the circumstances. Itespeeefully, E. T.IKGHA1-.

Base Ball. Tho game played between Oswego and Col umbus on the fair grounds, this city, last week, was hotly contested throughout. Both clubs seemed to realize that they were evenly matched and watched each other as two Roman Gladiators of the olden time, would watch, wait and spring. Each club felt the importance of the occasion. During the first fou- innings the Blues played their positions admirably, tho score stand'ng: Columbus, Oswego, 3.

At this juncture some "off" decisions of the umpire maddened some of the home boys, rattling them somewhat and making them careless. This, the 4th inning, gave Oswego four runs, a1! made on errors by tbe home team. Tho s'xth inning gave Oswego three more runs and Columbus one, makintr the score stand 9 to 6 in favor of the visiting team. During the entire game tbe Blues had kicked on various decisions by the umpire. but had not entered a formal protest.

In this they made a mistake. They wero informed that the umpire had money up on the game, but did not succeed in proving it. The ninth inning came. The Blues were at bat. They had mado one run and ono out with Crewson on first.

McGraw came to bat and knocked a high fly wnich was purposely missed by the Oswego short stop, presumably for the pur pose of making a double play. Some of the Oswego players were heard to say to him: Drop itl Drop it!" He recovered' the ball. put it to second and the runner was declared out. Then came a wild wrangle which was much reg-etted, however justifiable tbe kick may have been. The Blues refused to continue tho game under that umpire or with that decision.

By all the rales of right, they were justifiable. Unless the ball was momentarily held, the batter was not out, and no one laimed the short stop held it for an instant. The rules plainly declare that if a batter purposely interferes with a catcher, that batter is out, and if a fielder purposely interferes with a base runnor, tbe runner is entitled to h's base, A purposed failure to catch Mc-G raw's high fly, was a purposed interference with a base runner, not justified or warranted by any known rule of the game and such being the case neither McGraw nor the runner were out. It was on this point that the dispute arose. Late in the evening the money on both sides was drawn.

Another game may be arranged on neutral grounds with a neutral umpire. Tho-f oUowing write up of the points In the game is kindly furnished us by Mr. F. C. Wheeler, of Oswego.

His record of points does not exactly correspond in all particulars with that kept by us, but we publish it without change. 1st. Isniso. Game opened with Columbus at bat. They were retired in one, two, three order.
