This cat business must cease, or I must go the hospital for the insane. If I pick up another paper and see a cat in it, it will be quickly committed to the flames at once. I have stood this thing as long as I can. Margaret Ann. Ben Hagin came in at noon.

Auction Sale. An Event Among Our Little Folks. Last evening our little society people were treated to a grand social time. The occasion was no less than a party given by Miss Jennie B. Wright, the charming young daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. S. J. Wright, to about twenty-five or thirty of her young friends, The invited guests commenced to arrive about eight o'clock. At nine elaborate refreshments were served, and it is but faint praise to say that the delicacies wTere eaten with a gusto only enjoyed by the young.

The evening was spent in what the children called a 'perfectly jolly time," and about eleven o'clock the little lads and lasses were safely taken home in carriages. That the event will be a long remembered one is a foregone conclusion. The Bridge Works Scheme. Mr. C.

C. Pratt, president the Pratt Bridge Company, appeared before the Board of Trade meeting last night, and submitted a proposition for the establishment of a bridge works in this city. His proposition was to build an iron bridge works in this city large enough to supply the following territory: Northern Kansas, Nebraska, Southern Southeast Missouri-He wants no bonus, but wishes to organize a company, which will build the works and run the business, paying him a royalty for his patents, up to a certain amount, after which he will receive a certain percentage. Other works of a like kind are in successful running operation elsewhere, and employing a large amount of Jabor. The matter was referred to the manufacturing committee, which will report at some future meeting.

As the procuring of such works here would involve no expense to our citizens, only inasmuch as those who go into it as an investment, with the object of ultimate profit, we should by all means secure them. All we need for such securing, is for a few of our wooded men to interest themselves, and the thing is done. "Let 'er roll, Gallagher," for another boomer in the manufacturing line.

They staid out all night, not agreeing until court opened this morning, when they returned a verdict of "guilty" on the first count. There wero three counts, all for the unlawful sale of spirituous liquors. Lawyer Mead's manner of drawing a similar case, as an illustration of the one in hand, and applying it locally, in the Swayne trial yesterday, caused several audible gurgles throughout the court room.
