Will "Deacon" Trostle, Cal. Boyle and all "sich" please take notice? We had intended to get a large float on the 4th, but owing to quite a large run of business and the trouble hich it would take to get Our press down and up stairs, we have concluded that it is next to impossible for us to so do. We are sorry, but circumstances control all of us at times, and we do not tldnk it best for us to do so. The members of the Centennial Sun day school are holding a picnic at the grove adjoining their church to-day, and quite a number from this city are in attendance. We understand the members of the Sunday school have formed a regular company aud will march in the grand parade to be held here on the 4ih.

Good for the boys. The Ladies' Aid Society of the Congregational church had a meeting of special interest yesterday. Besides the social feature of ice cream and cake they organized a missionary society which will do something for home missions. Each member ai'd others who desire will take a mite box into hish they will put two cents a week for ie home missionary. B.

E. Kies, solicitor for the Kansas Commoner, of Newton, and Miss Ella B. Smith were married in that city last Sunday. Mr. Kies is well known to the Alliance people all over the state, and especially in this vicinity, while Miss Smith has several times visited with friends in this city and is well and favorably known in 'Nickerson.

We vrish the newly married pair much happiness. Quite a pleasant surprise occurred to Mr. W. T. C.

Wooden quite recently, and one which shows the generality of the railroad boys. While working one day at the round house Mr. Wooden expressed a wish that he could visit his aged mother, who is now somewhere iu her eighties, as he had not seen her for twenty j'ears, but he could not afford it as he had a large family to support and was drawing but a small salary. One of his fellow workmen overhearing him express his wishes, immediately started a subscription paper for that purpose and in half a day succeeded in raising more thau enough money to recompense the old gentleman's wages and to defray all his expenses on the trip. lie will leave tonight or tomorrow.

This shows the generosity of those in th. shop, and is simply a Sample of the large-hearted-ness of the railroad boys in From Friday's Daily. J. W. Lemon came in from Pueblo this morning.

These gentlemen are undoubtedly well prepared to thresh anybody's wheat. Prof. Driscoll with his balloon paraphernalia passed through the city this morning enroute to Hutchinson where he is to make an ascension tomorrow. Remember he is to be here on the Fourth. The Lyons base ball club arrived in the city this morning, and, by the way, are a fine lot of fellows.

First of all this week we wish to pay our respects to The Evening Register and hope you will meet with the greatest of success in your undertaking, -for it is an enterprise worthy of success. Our little city can well support a daily if it hut ana would be a benefit to every one, beuies g'ood adver tisement for the town. Other towns not near as large as our little city have a daily paper, and we do not see but what it well patronized and as spicy and newsy as tluts in cities. From the 'way Ave see our busfnjjrin ttu: have taken an interest in it, and the energy with which you have pushed it forward, we fciiic von will be successful and your paper will t)e uu, of our town The 4th is coming nearer and nearer and we do hope every one that has jn hand are doing their best for a two weeks visit with friends and relatives in the eastern part of the state, Fort Scott being her objective point We wish her a pleasant visit. The Fourth of July celebration will be held at Wheeler's grove just north or town.

This is an excellent place, and in fact the only one that could be secured within a radius of three miles. James Kennedy, one of the switchmen employed in the night yards at this place, is confined to his bed with a severe sprain of the ankle. It will probably be several days yet before he is able to be around again. Geo. Oesten entertained a nnmber of his young friends at the residence of D.

W. Van Natten last night. All who were so fortunate as to be in attendance pronounce George's entertaining abilities far above the avenge. Mrs. G.

W. Winans, our worthy state superintendent's estimable wite, and Miss Collins, of Junction City, and Miss Shirly Woodson, of Hutchinson, were in the city yesterday, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. D.E. Richart.

We welcome Mr. Ward and his tamiiy DacKio tins city. Don't forget to keep your back yards and alleys thoroughly clean or the hot weather will have a tendency to cause much sickness.

Nickerson has the reputation of being one of the healthiest to.vns in the state and we don't want to lose it. Census Enumerator Hendry says this is the best town within a radius of 100 miles and contains less empty stf-res ana bouses than any town within that dis tance. We will go you one better, rsro. Hendry, and say it "is the best town in the state. We are rrquested to state that all parties owning dogs must pay the tax on same or the dog will be taken up and placed in the pound, and after a certain length of time, if the tax is not paid will be shot.

All owners of dogs will please take notice. Miss S. E. Hawk has taken charge of tbe boarding house on the corner oi Avenue Ii and Peabody streets, formerly kept by Mrs. II.

Erwin, and will conduct it in the future the same as has been done in the past one of the best boarding houses to be tound tne city Those who are looking for a nice quiet boarding place would do well to see her Robert McNeil, father of T. B. Mc Neil, died at his home this merning The old gentleman has been ailing for the past two weeks, and death relieved his sufferings. We were not iutorn.ed as to the direct cause of his death, but presume It was principally old age, as he was in his 80th year. The bereaved members of the family have the sympa thy ot all G.

House, the gentleman who trad ed his tirtn in Salt Creek tp. lor tne Lindemuth property and sold it the next day to the Farmers and Citizens uaiiK who will erect thereon an immense bank building, left for Portland, Oregon, last niaht there to make bis luture nome with his daughter. Wc are indeed sorry to see Mr. House leave, but predict he will soon return.

wnnt nil nnr readers to bear in mind that Nickeron is to have the grandest Fourth of July celebration to be held in the state. Arrangements are nearing completion, and nothing has been left undone lor a grand time to De had here on that day. Those who had contemplated spending this national holiday away from home should change their program, as no better time can be had at other places. While pursuing our vocation hunting locals every day we run across a number of strangers coming, going, each day; some nunung locations, uuieis uu pleasure trips, while a third is here on "Vinlrprsnn has indeed a erreat many advantages, which if properly put IOrill WOUIU UU UUUUt a gicai; many more than we do.

Five flics occurred in Hutchinson yesterday. The Queen City is getting quite metropolitan in her ways and we feeel quite proud of her. The funeral of Robert McNeil took place from the home of the deceased to-day at two o'clock, p. and his remains laid to their last resting place in Wildmead cemetery. Our old frend Arthur McGregor whom everyone knows as he has lived here for several years, has been promoted to a conductor and runs between Emporia and this city.

Arthur is certainly deserving of this promotion as he is a sj-ber. industrious young man and we are indeed glad to make mention of it. The board of county commissioners met yesterday and drew up contracts for the building ot the county poor house. D. McLaws who is to erect the building gave bonds for 6,000 which were approved.

T. McCullom and the Hutchinson Hardware company went his security. Hallowell Atwater, to whom was" awarded the contract for the plumbing, gave bonds for 800 with Jas. McKinstry md Chas. Brown as security.

Brock Campbell, who are to move tne old building up to the new, gave bonds for GOO with Hale and F. R. Chris-mau as securities. Slews. LaGrange, of whom we made mention Monday is now incarcerated in the county jail.at Hutchinson, and has been interviewed by a News reporter, in which he seems to make his side of the story very plausable.

He denys that he has another wife living more than the one he had here and claims that he had a $200 house worked up in this city for the company in which he was to take part. Rats. The man must be laboring under a mental aberatiou of mind or else is a big fraud to make such a statement as the last one we repro duced From Thursday's Daily. E. C.

Curtis, of Kansas City, was the guest of J. P. Herman yesterday. Walter Booth, night caller for the Santa Fe, is spending the day in Newton Another mail carrier was arrested in Hutchinson this week for robbing the mails. Miss Katie returned from a trip to Kansas City Sunday evening last, Claude Djjval of the Hutchinson Wholesale Grocery company was in the city to-day.

H. T. JJrooker, of Hutchinson, repre senting the HutfilHiison marble works, was in the city to-day. P. the Hutchinson Mill was in the city to-day with a load of flour for our merchants.

Hgrry Stiefel is now making the White Mono-ain cream, the best in the citv. Nothing ti cream used. Try it. Dr. E.

Engleyeo. and M. T. Stroupe, of Abbyyille, atteojed a meeting of the Modern Woodmen last Tteg-da evening. John Loga find wife, of Pennsylvania, old time rifeiuii of Mr.

and Mrs. C. E. Arnold, will arrive iu the city tonight and while here will be guasts pf the latter. The Evexixg Reisgter wishes them a pleasant visit- tliis vicinity, but this year we under stand Sterling, Hutchinson and even little Partridge are going to celebrate.

think that can be easily for. for Nickerson has been so prosper ous lately and not grumbling about her census being too small, but it has risen far above every one highest expectations, and with everything showing that the wave of prosperity has at last burst upon us, the other little cities around us have grown jealous and are afraid if any of their citizens should come here to spend the 4th they would be so favor- ably impressed that they would wish to remain with us. So taking all this into consideration they figured up a little celebration of their owti so as to induce every one to remain at home, for no one likes to leave their own town if there is anything to induce them to remain. It certainly must be the reason, for as little chilnren say, "We had it first," being the first to speak of a celebration, and as these other places are such a short distance from our city they could easily come and help us celebrate, but of course they had to follow our lead, and like some animals, "tag" along and bring up the rear. One thing we' are certain of is that our celebration will be as fine or the finest that has been held any place, and we would advise every one that cares about something grand and amusing to come to Nickerson on the 4tlu for everything points to a grand success as we are abundantly able to have it so.

There was a very pleasant party of young people enjoyed themselves at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Richart, a short distance north of town the other evening. We heard of one couple being so deeply interested in their own company that they came near wandering off to such a distance that they could not find themselves. It reminds us of another couple we heard of not long ago who concluded to go fishing and went wandering all over the country nearly the whole of the afternoon trying to find Cow creek.

But such little occurrences does not inar the pleasure of such a gay and happy crowd as this was which left the hot and dusty city and sought the cool and fresh country air. We have not been able to interview them as regards the time they had. but we know from the happy looks on their faces it certainly was an enjoyable one. How strange it does seem after ail these years living in a prohibition ftate that right here under our very nose all kinds of liquors can be sold aiid no can help themselves one bit. Of course it is not sold as it is in some places, Cut-in what called "original packages," and it certaiuly must have been an original scheme originating in a few original persons' very original brains, for why is it a state has not the right to govern itself on that question the same as any other But- we are notable to criticise those in authority over us.

One thing we would rather see at our original package house is to have those who frequent it to go in openly and not sneak around the baek way. If a man wants to drink let him do so, but for pity's sake do it like a man and not as though you were a thief. Be a man in that as in other things and do it openly and honestly. We see so many papers assuring the ones that are keeping original packages. Now why haven't they as much right to make money in that way as in any other it they so desire and as long as the law upholds them in it? This is certainly a free country and everyone has a right to earn his living in the manner he chooses, and if the truth were known away down in the hearts of the very ones tnat are finding fault, if he was making lots of money, they would wish to be wearing his shoes for a few days and making as much of the much prized gold.

Do not let us censure the sellers of original packages, but the ones that made the law. A GREAT BARGAIN. We have a fine business property on Main street for sale or trade. Will trade for stock of goods. Call and see us at onee.

To those who have not taken a drive through the country since the last glo rious rains we have had, have certainly missed a rare sight. Corn in some localities is almost as high as a man's bead and of a dark green color, indica tive or excellent bcaitb and growtb. A Kansas editor is hiding at present and his foreman is trying to fix matters up so he can come home again without fear of being pulverized. In writing up a visit to a lady menu noupe be described her elegant section of house plants. He wrote it this way "Mrs.

B. has the prettiest plants in town." In making up the forms the letter dropped out of the word plants, and tbe mistake was not discovered until the paper was run oft. Xbe wboie town was soon in an uproar and when the offensive word was pointed out to the husband he armed himself with a revolver and went to the printing office with blood in his eye. The editor saw him coming and jumped out of a second story window and started for tbe plains on a run that would have shamed a scalded dog. Editors have their troubles the same as other people.

Quite a sensational episode occurred in the city Saturday evening or rather Sunday morning last. A man and his wile, arrived in the city some time during last week lor the purpose of assuming characters in the Kennedy Comedy Company, which is being "organized here, and registered at the. Colorado House as Chas. Williams nnd wife. Everything seemed to run smoothly in deed, while waiting for the balance of the cast to arrive.

However, about two o'clock Suuday morning two constables from Hutchinson and the sheriff from Wichita drove in, proceeded to the Colorado House, and two of them guarded the entrances to the bouse while the other went in and clapped the manacles ou tbe gentleman before be wa3 aware of what was taking place. It seems the fellow was wanted on two charges of bigamy and a third for forgery. His young bride of but a tew aaj-s was of course heart broken, as it was learned from one of the sheriffs that she was his fifth victim. The fellow's real mane is LaGrange, and he hailed from Wichita, stopping a few days in Hutchinson, where he was married to a Miss Thomas, his last wife and the one who was here with him. He was taken to Wichita, where we understand be is incarcerated In the "Quay" awaiting trial.

Tbe manager of the company, it is needless to say, is looking lor new material. ii Quite a wreck occurred oa the Hutch inson Branch of the Santa re at tbe bridge across tbe Arkansas river near Hutchinson Friday. It seems the sec tion men undertook to cross the bridge on a hand car, knowing the train was behind them, thinking of course they could cross before tbe train caught them. In this, however, they failed, and the engine struck the hand car about midway of the bridge, and one man named Bresson lorestme was killed The others sayed themselves by jumping from the car into the river. Frank Huntington, formerly this city, was the engineer on the train, and the fol lowing is his testimony in regard to the anair: F.

Huntington, being duly sworn, said: I reside Newton and am an engineer; had charge of engine No. 51, and was drawing section 2, tram 31, goinz west over the banta He branch yesterday, June 20. We pulled ou from Hutcbinsou depot at 7:10 a. and made a dead stop at the crossing of the Missouri 1'acinc. while we were stopped I saw a hand car on the track ahead, but it went out of sight around a curve, aiy nreman was putting in coal.

Being on the curve I could not see the hand car from my position until 1 came around the curve. I then saw it and blew down brakes. We were run ning about eighteen miles an hour. succeeded in reducing tbe speed to about four miles an hour when we struck the car. The men could haye gotten off if they had not been so frightened Tbe train came' to a dead stand about two train lengths after I blew down brakes, which made it more than a train length that the band car was ahead when I observed it first.

There was nothing to prevent the section men from seeing the train, and I naturally supposed they would be off the track. The men told me they saw the train. The track foreman was on the bridge pushing the car and waving a flag. 1 motioned him to jump off the bridge and let the car go. Some of the men did jump and got The foreman got up on the band car and was on it when we strnck, and was thrown upon the pilot of the engine.

I did not notice how the deceased was killed. At our stop at the Missouri Pacific crossing, I gave the usual signal, and also at the road crossing just a few rods before reaching the bridge. The accident obcurred about 6:23 June 20, 1890 From Tuesday's Dally. W. B.
