The citizens are all armed to the teeth, awaiting an attack from the Texans.

We have seen no dispatch to this effect, but he says he got the news direct from Conductor Hall, of the K. who lft there Saturday night at 10 o'clock. He showed us a photograph of Tompson, who killed the sheriff. The death of the sheriff in turn led to the killing of Pierce, a Texas drover, by "Happy Jack." The Texans swore to avenge Pierce, and this tragedy of Saturday night is undoubtedly part of their revenge. Advertisement.

The Challenge Smith Out. Backed A Texas bull, jealous of the M. K. T. Railway, attacked a train of cars going at the rate of from twenty-five to thirty miles an hour, and as a natural consequence got pushed off the track.

A man on the train remarked that he admired the bull's courage, but would not give a for his judgment. I admire Smith's courage for exposing himself before our intelligent, high-toned and fashionable community, but I would not give a continental for his judgmeut, when he "signed the article in the Sun, which he, in the plentitude of his impudence, denominated "The Boot Controversy," the most absurd and ridiculous thing of the kind I have ever seen. The first question Smith asked in the said article, was, "What did he (Melleny) mean when he said he could make the prettiest and best boot in Parsons I wonder he did not ask what I meant when I told him to put-up or shut-up. All Bootmakers admit that a good-fitting boot is always a pretty one, and he must be as stupid as an ass who maintains that i pretty boot is not a good-fitting or fashionable one. If I could not make a prettier and better boot than Smith, I would go down South and hoe corn; the first boots and shoes I made are in my show case at Ulmer's Boot and Shoe House, the establishment with which I have connected my business as a manufacturer of gent's boots, I have never made a heavy stoga clod-hopper boot in my life.

I will leave such work to Smith. But, if you want a pretty boot, call and see me. Smith was the first one who offered bet, and when I told him to put-up or shut-up, he backed out; and to cover his defeat, he says "I propose to make ten pair of boots," forgetting that as the challenged party have the privilege of naming the conditions. A good bootmaker can put a hundred dollars worth of work on a pretty pair of boots, and consequently, can put one thousand dollars worth of work on ten pair of boots. Nothing but a lunatic would undertake to make one thousand dollars worth of work for the sake of winning one hundred dollars, the amount named in Smith's non-sensical proposition.

My conditions are as fol lows We will take any gentleman, not a customer. I will measure the right foot, Smith may measure the left; I will make one boot, Smith can make the other, from the same stock and in the same shop. If he cannot make the said boot in so many hours he looses the bet that is to" say, if he can make the boot in the same time that it takes me to make mv boot. If the boots are made, they will be put on the man they are made for, who can tell how the one hts better than the other, after which thev will be sent to a committee formed by the Knights of St. Crispin, who will decide which one of said boots was made by the best workman.

On these conditions I will accept not less than live hundred dollars. If you beg or borrow the money, I will not accept the bet. If you have not five hundred dollars of jour own money to back your assertions, consider yourself unworthy of further notice. When a strange young man comes to a town like Parsons to open a manufacturing shop, the miserable wretch who tries to rob him of his reputation as a workman, is worse than a thief, a liar, or any other kind of a villian. The last and not the least absurd, is Smith styling himself the "Anatomical Boot-maker," forgetting, if he ever knew, that anatomical boot-makers never measure the feet with a string or tape; and it is well known that Smith does use a tape to measure the feet, which proves at once that he is not an anatomical bootmaker.

I will give Smith a receipt for making anatomical boots: Go out on the prairies go up to the first cow or calf you meet poke your foot down its throat and walk off with the hide. It fits well, wears well, but is not pretty. When I win those five hundred dollars, I will give the boys a Champagne supper. We will all feel so jolly, and sing: I am Captain Smith of the Mule brigade, You know me by the bet I made, to the air of "Captain Jinks," written for the occasion by O. E.

Mellenxt, Who always makes a pretty boot. ELECTION NOTICE.

All sabbath schools are invited to participate, as well as every one invited to attend. Sylvan Dale, New Salem and Mr.

The Sun made a great display of new advertisements, and a re-hash of old advertisements in its last, and will probably do the same in its next issue. Will it do us the favor to puli-lish alongside a list of "ads" withdrawn the last week. Peter Schons has opened a first class tailoring establishment on east side of Forest A where he will be prepared to make up fall and summer suits at the lowest cash price. Special attention is called to his advertisement in another column. H.

J. Kennedy, on his return from Jacksonville, Neosho count brought us a handsome vine and on that was attached about forty fine bunches of grapes, with the compliments of Dr. G. D. Dement, a farmer at Jacksonville.

Mr. Dement has the finest vineya-d in Southern Kansas, and will have this year about three tons of grapes.

Another Murder near Osage Mission.

John Thompson killed James Foulger on the 18th by stamping him with his boot heels. Thomp son lias escaped, and the Transcript says "the two families are now hap py." Criin. con. and soil corn were at the commencement and end respectively of the affair. The Journal advises those about to commit murder to go over to the Bender ranche, and the Transcript says: "We await the revolution of the earth." Such is life and death, at the Mission.

II. L. Gosling, of our city, having prepared the accompanying articles to the sketches made at this and oth er places by Messieurs Tavernier and Frenzeny for the Messrs. Harper, has been employed to accompany the artists and furnish the articles descriptive of their sketches. He leaves to day with them for the Indian Territory and Texas, and will return in about two weeks.

He will also furnish a Magazine sketch on Kansas and the Indian Territory. We went to Parsons on Tuesday, and find that the people there are taking quite an interest in our fair. Merritt Xoyes, of the Parsons House, is to be here with a three minute matched span. The Mission people, when in that city, should remember a wide-awake man and patronize the Parsons House. When the committee on finances were canvassing the city of Parsons, Mr.

Noyes gave twen-five dollars toward general expenses and agreed to feed every settler for twenty-five cents a meal. Now that the meeting is to be held here, we will reciprocate and make him our guest. Transcript. C. CAXiZXXTS Special attention is called to M.

M. Xeely's new advertisement in another column. He has refitted the old St. Charles Hotel, corner of E-iggs and Johnson avenues, and will endeavor to keep a full and complete stock of staple and fancy groceries, dry goods, boots, shoes, hats and caps. He also pays the highest market price for country produce, in trade or cash.

Farmers give him a call at his new head quarters. Sowixo Wheat. The farmers have commenced sowing wheat. L. F.

Dick will have all his sown this week. The history of this state shows that early sowing is the best, and our farmers are taking advantage of tho experience of others. It has been rather dry, however, to get the ground in order, which will make some of the farmers a little late. If sown by the 15th of next month, wheat will undoubtedly do as well as if sown now. The handsome building on the corner of Johnson and lliggs avenues, built under the supervision of W.

D. Larrabee, for A. C. Calkins of Chicago, is finely finished, and will be occupied by Messrs. Rolling Woodruff, extensive Dry Goods merchants, of Leavenworth, who propose to keep a first class stock of everything in their line.

They come well recommended, and if there is any enterprise in them they will undoubtedly build up an immense trade in this section. Personal. D. Frank, wholesale grocer, of Fort Scott, was registered at the Parsons yesterday. Dr.

Meritt Noyes, of the Parsons House, has been absent several days on a visit to Lawrence. Mrs. Noyes does the honors of the house in his absence, performing the duties of landlordess in a very business-like manner. Mr.

Noyes returned yesterday. Capt. Kingsbury, with Deland Bacon, of Fort Scott, called on us last evening. lie is buying wheat for that firm, and informs us that they have been shipping flour to St. Louis.

This is a great change from last winter and spring, when flour and wheat were shipped from St. Louis to Fort Scott. We regret to sav that Mons. Tav ernier, one of the Harper Artists, has been compelled, on account of a severe attack of Asthma, to return to the East. Mons.

He was visiting friends and the "Infant Wonder." come again when we are not so busjT. Walker, of the Transcript, was in the city yesterday. He informs us that during the settlers meeting at Osage Mission, and the following three days of the Neosho county fair, the Tran script will issue a daily with a circulation from 700 to 1000 copies as the demand may be.

A building willbe erected upon the grounds for the sole use of the presses and machinery. A phonographic reporter will be in attendance especially for the Daily Transcript. Also will be arranged conveniences for every member of the Press present, for general correspondence, and furnished with abundance of writing material. This is praiseworthy. As there will be an immense gathering, we know of no better way to advertise than through the Daily Transcript, and as the will be at considerable expense, we hope to sw tiem receive a liberal pair osagel HeTp them as well as benefit yourself.
