Office aud residence at II. Tisdale's. Lawrence, April 10, 1884. ATCHISON. TENTH ANNIVERSARY.

One of the grandest and most elaborate affairs way of a tin wedding anniversary was held in this city on the evening of the 14th, at the residence ot Mr. Thos. and Mrs. Sallie McCoffins', whose wedding anniversary the good people of Atchison and the surrounding country came to commemorate. We should like much to publish a list of the valuable presents, but they were so numerous that it would take more space than we can possibly spare this week.

About 300 people were present, who enjoyed themselves ugely. A splendid supper was served TOPEKA KANSAS.

It will be usless to give a list of prices as they are very reasonable cheap enough for any one who wishes to live and let live. Go and see for yourselves, do not for get the place ou Massachusetts St. near the River. All orders promptl filled. NORTH LAWRENCE.

A large new hotel will tie put up in this place as soon as it is ascer taiued whether the railroad wil make their new switch by the way of the river and Bridge street. Mr. Tisdale's street railway is progressing quite rapidly. The track is completed within one block of the U. P.

depot, and it is expected, i nothing prevents, to be finished as far as the Eldridge House, on the south side, by uly 4. Numerous new dwelling houses are going up on this side, which in dicates prosperity. Some fine blooded horses have ar rived at the Bismarck track for training for the coming fair. TO OUR FRIENDS. We, the young men of Atchison who have not yet chosen the altitude we assume for our interest through life, shall attempt to answer our senior citizens.

We are not opposed to advice from such men simply on account their motive, but from causes which will follow. If we believed that sueh advice possessed the virtue and happiness which reconcile the father to the wayward son, and the mother to the fallen daughter, then vre would wilfully adopt the resolution But observation of such criticism and ridiculing as the young men had to face on Wednesday evening, may be the cause of turning their minds into the channel of aversion. When young men are traduced, disregarded trampled upon and ignored, is not in harmony with American prm ciple, and conscription of which is right. We want advice that will place us upon a broad, expansive plain of equality and prosperity, and when the senior colored citizens of Atchison will adopt such, they wil find that they will be more successful, and tha- the young men wil early take an active part in the political destinies, and the intelect- ual stand of our country, and such advice would soon cause the young men to concenter and congeal snobbery. Criticism of young men at public meetings, it does not make them better, but worse, it dos not not heal the breach between purity and sin, it does not join the hands of neighbors, it only aggravates their hostility, dictates (without except ing any) that the young men of Atchison are incapable of discriminat ing between right and wrong, and he ought to be sent to an infiruiy and have a guardian appointed over li does it raise human happiness, does it promote purity? I will ask the senior members of Atchison to weigh your conscience.

Don't be cruel, do away with prudesty and draw the mantle of charity around the young men in a quiet manner, cease storming, take them by the land, l.e guardians for them, lend them your assistance and help them to be men, and when this is done they will pull off their hats, bow their heads and say amen, and labor for the success of the colored race. D. D. M. Atchison, June 17, 1884.

The fishing party that went out from Atchison on the 18th are very unlucky, for they tried their best to keen dry in the rain, but coulden't. There fishing party reporter was ate with his communication to the Recorder, and we tried to get the nan-washed souls set in the paper, but they were so very wet that the danger of pying the form was feared. WISE WORDS. There is always a spot in our sun shine; it is the shadow of ourselves. Nothing present is so baren but that there is fertile fields beyond.

Would like to nsk Rilla, correspondent to the Gate City Press, if there is any more room on Hickory street, North Lawrence, for the re mainder of Lawrence most popular? If they all reside there Lawrence is surely on the decline. Please in form us. Backbiting is a coward's game, a sword handled by fools, who are in their mind always killing some one.

They live a restless life, die a miserable death. And their funeral proces sion is often largely made up of harty and healthy persons, who they did do their best to kill. The Santa Fe company has a large force of men engaged in filling up and leveling off the place between the Union Pacific track and the river just northeast of the T. S. F.

The Topeka gent who reports his name to us as beiug outlandish must be careful or we will report him to the girls, as being stingy outlaw dish man, two stingy to give one poor girl his name.

Susin Waller: Lawrence, Kan. Sept. 21, 1883; mill The People's Mutual Life Association. PRINCIPAL OFFICE, Lawrence, Kansas. rilHE PLAN THEY HAVE ADOPTED IS THE very best, and one that speaks for Itself.

It is intended to provide a class who cannot ordinarily allord to insure In high rate companies, being esiiecially designed to benefit the laboring man and mechanic whose circumslanoea will not admit of Insurance to a large amount, and place them in a fraternal relation by which each member is equally interested in the welfare of another. The object is to reach a class of persona who are certainly liable to need the protection, and pay in case of the loss of an arm or leg, an amount tbat would equal the wages of those who come within the circle ol Its protection. By this means its patrons will receive not only enough to keep their membership good from year to year, but also furnish something for individual or family support. In case of total disability there will be paid a sum the same aa In death, which will go far toward placing the beuehciary in a position to avoid waut and give the neucleua for future support, when Judiciously Invested aud to the heirs of legal representatives when death cornea to the member, an amount aa per contract. Their Joint certificate, which entitle two personshusband ahd wife JoinUy to a certificate of membership, in which case payment will bemad to the survivor at death of either, wUl prove a blcsHing on the parent who may be left alone with a family to educate aud provide for.

The plan recommends Itself to every person fur its simplicity, equity and advantages. It furnishes a plan of Indemnity to Its member at actual cost, and accepa only member who pass a thorough medical examination, aud thereby enable agents to speak with coundeuce of the car exercised in assuming risks.

Potts a colored man who lives near the Pinckney street school house was drowned just below the dam while fishing.

It seems to be a prectice for fishermen to dive through the water that comes over the dam and to get under the falls. Here they can stand on solid ground and watch the water as it conies over the dam before them. Large numbers of fish are caught under and near the dam by means of large hooks fastened to the hand and then dragged to shore, Potts was cngagp'1 in this work. when it is supposed that he hooked onto a fish larger than he conic handle. As protection against ac cidents it is customary to tie a rope about the person, the other end which is held by some one on shore or fastened to some place of safety Potts had been under the water some five minutes when he came to the surface struggling for life, when the rop1-, which hail been fastened to his body, broke.

He sank immediately and the body was speedily recovered, but life was extinct. A coroner's jury was impaneled and a verdict rendered in accordance with the facts. Potki leaves a wife and two children. WHITING CAGED. About two weeks ago Mr.

Hill, of the firm of Hill Mendenliall, was robbed of his pocket-book contain ing over $100. The thief that stole the book was arrested at the depot as he was about to leave the city, but he had already handed the pock et-book to a confederate who got off on the same train. The man arrested here confessed the robbery, and said his confederate was one Robert Whiting, a shoemaker, who had been in this city a few weeks. Marshal Prentice sent letters and telegrams in all directions for the ar rest of Whiting. After consider able inquiry Prentice learned that Whiting drew a pension from the government, and that he had been in the habit of drawing his quart erly payment at the Des Moines, Iowa, office.

The last quarterly pay ment began on the 5th of June, Prentice telegraphed to the United States pension agent and the chief of police, at Des Moines, Iowa, giving a fulj description of Robert Whiting, and requesting his arrest should he appear there, since which time our officers have been patiently awaiting information from there, feeling sure that he would sooner or later appear and demand his pen- iri 1 ,1. Hion. Wednesday morning tne cor rectness of their surmise was proven by the receipt of a telegram from Adam Hosner, chief of jiolice of Des Monies, that Robert Whiting was in his custody. Marshal Prentice telegraphed to bold Whiting, and that he would send an officer for him at once. Of ficer Harbaugh was detailed to go to Iowa and bring back the thief..
