Illustrated eireiilars and full particular Free. Apents, don't Iom this prand opporttintlr Address, PAS I.INAMAX liU ahiiitou t. Fatal Stabbing Affray Grove. in East Council East Council Grove was the scene of a terrible trageay last ni 11 I1C1 in William Bean (colored) died with his boots on. Various rumors are afloat as to the origin ot the affair, and as near as we can get at the facts in the case are these, uttered from the lips of Lizzie Coleman, wife of the assassin.

About two years ago Lizzie Hickman was united in marriage to George Coleman in this citv. They moved to Cottonwood Falls and lived there until about six months ago. Lizzie is a bright mulatto, about 21 years of age, well formed and of rather pleasing features for one of her color. Coleman is as black as a box of Mason's blacking, about 27 years of age, short and rather heavy set, ami said to be of a treacherous disposition. There has been a jealousy existing between Coleman and a number of the colored "bloods" of this eity ever since his arrival and male visitors were very frequent at his house during his absence.

It is the opinion of many that Coleman was perfectly justified in committing this desperate act, as he had requested Bean a number of times to keep away from his house, at the same time making threats what he would do if his request was not complied with. Coleman had also made the same threats to Tom Wood, Allisou Majors and other colored men. On Monday last Bill Bean and the aforesaid Lizzie were engaged in scrubbing and cleaning out a room together. Bill was under the influence of liquor and in the evening visited her at her residence. This created another contention in the household, and Coleman ordered Bean to leave the premises, threatening his life if he neglected to obey orders.

The two started out together and a halt was made at the front gate. Up to this time no noise had been made. Some words passed and in a moment Coleman rushed in the house, grabbed a single barreled pistol and fired one shot at his victim, the ball missing its aim. Bean ran around the house aud out among some trees and bushes iu the back yard, followed by Coleman who had in the meantime secured a large three-inch bladed knifa and proceeded to carve his victim iu good earnest. Coleman succeeded iu inflicting three severe wounds in the back of Bill Bean, one ugly gash an inch and a half long in his right arm, two iu the breast, and severing the jugular vein, producing death almost instantly.

Bean leaves a wife and four children. One of his children died about a month ago. He never uttered a word after he was stabbed, and died apparently easy. As soon as the alarm was given a large number of citizens turned out in pursuit, but up to last accounts Coleman is still at large. NOTES.

The rumor to the effect that Coleman was found dead six miles north ot town, Tuesday morning, proved false. Tt is said that George Coleman threatened the lives of several frequent visitors to his house, among others one of the ministers of the A. M. E. Church.

The remains ot William Bean were interred in Greenwood cemetery Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock, in the presence of relatives aud a large number of his colored friends. Another rumor from pretty good authority is to the effect that Coleman was seen on J. W. Simeoek's larm, 8 miles north of town that he stopped at the milk-house and drank a panful of clabber. At 10 o'clock Tuesday morning a postmortem was held by the following physicians Drs.

Day, McConnell and Paiuter. The body was examined and there were found nine wounds in all, one on the left breast, the knife having passed between the first and second ribs into the upper lobe ot the left luug, two other wounds on the back passing between the third and fourth ribs into the upper lobe ol the right lung, aud also through the upper part of the lower lobe. These lung wounds are the ones that produced death. The jugular vein was not servcred, as we first stated. VKRDirT OK TltEJUKY.

They watch tor advertisements of stray horses or cows one of the fellows goes to the advertiser and asks to see the animal. His request being granted, the scoundrel informs the advertiser that the animal is not the one he is looking for. The fellow goes back to his 'pal," gives him a description of the animal and the "pal" then goes to the advertiser and describes the horse or cow accurately aud gets possession. Then the swindler tells the advertiser that he lives a long way oft aud does not want to be troubled with taking the animal home and offers to sell it lor about half what it is worth. The advertiser makes the purchase, nine cases out of ten, and subsequently has to give the animal into possession of the rightful owner, losing the money he paid the impostor.

Ex. Council Grove. Correspondence Emporia Republican. This town is beautifully situated on the Xeosho river, about twenty-five miles northwest of Emporia, is the county seat of Morris county and contains about 1.200 inhabitants, who with their country friends, support two newspapers, the Cosmos and the Republican. Council Grove has been considered for some time as rather dull, but is now "looking up" a little, and its enterprise, which seems to have bcen'benumbed by the "coal affair" ol '73, is again being revived.

With the new Farmers' Drovers' bank, the promise of a new railroad, the erection ef several new buildings, and a proposed candidate for lieutenant governor, Council Grove is making rapid strides in the direction of a city of the second class. Preparation is being made for the erection ot a high school building during the coming fall. This will fill a want deeply felt ever since the burning of the old school building, a few year ago. The Council Grove Dramatic company, which gained much distinctiou last winter in Emporia, still exists, but the opera house which they proposed to build lies hidden in the misty future.

Now who will be the next to bring us in specimens of Morris county products? The Abilene Chronicle describes a thrilling scene as follows: The Almighty, the artist of the universe, never painted a handsomer picture than a Kansas farm at hi season of the year. Poets may sing of the "rippling waves'- or the 'dancing Mream," but a field of ripening grain waving In the sunlight and murmuring "thirty bushe's to the acre" is a sight that thrills the soul as no other will.

Miller, Is bold in opposition to a third term for the present governor of Kansas, and denounces him as a mere tool of the railroad companies. It says: "The railroad companies aro leading in keeping up the prohibition hubbub, and pushing St, John forward for a third term. They keep up this racket, to distract public attention from the railroad question and force the Issue upon the temperance question alone. If St. John is successful, they ill save just the man suited to their purposes, and perhaps a legislature equally subservient." This charge is by no means new.

It was made during the session of the legislature in the winter oflsl. That legUlaturu was largely elected iu opposition to monopolies. When the legislature met several bills regulating I lie amount to be charged by the several railroads per intlu for freight and passenger trallie were introduced and referred to the appropriate committees. These were subsequently withdrawn, and m.my claimed that the withdrawal was made through the intlciice of thu ovtiuor. Diirliii-rtoii Patriot.

This Monster New Consolidation of amusements will positively exhibit at Junction City, Friday, July 14; Emporia, Saturday, July 15. While the eastern managers of exhibitions under canvas have displayed unwonted zeal iu assembling curiosities aud attractions lor the preseut tenting season, those Lochinvars ot the West, the Sells Brothers, have been by no means idle, aud are now upon the road with an organization that will make the owners of even the most pretentious of associated exhibitions look to their laurels. These gentlemen, starting only a few years since from the nucleus of a humble wagon show, have been gradually accumulating property, iu animals aud paraphernalia, until now they are the owners of six among the largest canvas entertainments that traverse this continent, aud which they have consolidated this season, as an experiment, into one vast-exhibition.

By this financially hazardous venture they are enabled to preseut a trout so formidable that they will have but little fear from opposition, let it come from whence it may. The altogether unprecedented union enables them to present the largest collection of rare beasts aud birds ever exhibited iu America, and a programme of sterling acts and lcatures that no similar organization has the facilities for duplicating. But these western managers have not beeu contented merely with consolidation. They have added, in every department, attractions secured both iu the Old World aud New, that will be positively first-time features to America, and in the procurement ot which thcy'have been by no means niggardly with their purses. That the ring performances may be, beyond aperadventure, iu the van of competition they have secured the services of Mr.

Charles Fish, the undisputed leading bareback and somersault rider, whose challenge to any equestrian, in any country and for any sum, not less thau live thousand dollars, have never been accepted, and the probibility is very remote that it ever will be. They have also engaged, from her European managers, for a season limited to twenty-eight weeks only, the illustrious Andaluaiau beauty, Signorita Adelaide Cordona, whose daring, bewiUdi-ingly beautiful equestrianism has turned the heads of all the cities of Continental Europe. To sec this beautiful young Spaniard in her extraordinary four-horse equestrianism, and Tn her difficult and daring deeds on her single bareback horee will be an event much to be desired.
