They will probably move into their new quarters in the Mitchell building this week, when they will be "at home" to all their friends. The new residences of Messrs. Smyth, Krebs, Todd and Sautter, in the northern part of the city are rapidly nearing completion and when finished will be models of neatness, architecture and e'e-sign. Our Iowa exchanges are beginning to wail about the early invasions of that old marauder, Jack Frost, while down here in Sunny Kansas no thought will be paid that gentleman for two months to come.

Corner High and Front StreetsBrick Bank Block. Julyl 88 ly Horton, Sept. 11, 1888. Council met in regular session, Shannon presiding in the absence of Mayor Miller. Members present Shannon, Bailey, Vannatta, McDowell, Blauvplt.

The chair appointed Blauvelt to fill Jackson's place on auditing committee. On motion the city clerk was granted further time to collect pay for printing individual ordinances. By request of Ex. Com. of celebration, it was ordered that the city turn over the funds derived from licenses on the 20th, to the Ex.

Com. except the necessary amount for incidentals. Prof. Roop presented an ordinance t- grant right of way to the Missouri Kansas Telephone of Topeka to put in and operate a telephone system in the city, and the ordinance will be passed at the adjourned meeting Wednesday night. The auditing committee report favorably on the following bills: Morris, bdng prisoners, 18.35 I Stuart, salary city 50.00 Shannon hardware, 21.00 A to Kansas City ana mawatna, 20.00 Electric Light Co- lights for the month of August, 132.00 Fire 50.00 First team to fire with water, 2.50 City pay roll, 10.40 On motion the same were allowed and warrants ordered drawn.

On motion council adjourned until the 12th, at 8 p. m. W. E. Laxe, City Clerk, Horton's Grain Elevator.

A reporter of the Railway Register called at the new grain elevator, this morning, and was shown through the es. tablishment by the genial and obliging proprietor, W. II. Fluke. We were agreeably surprised to see, almost nearly completed, so thoroughly equipped an establishment in fact, no better in the state.

The machinery is all on the ground and will be placed in position immedi ately, and they will be ready for bust ness in about two weeks. A 25-horse power engine is to be used to run the machinery. All the latest improvements for loading cars, dumping wagons, etc. can be seen here, and a wagon load of grain can be taken care of every three minutes, and a car loaded every hour. In fact, the apparatus is arranged so systematically that there is no need of a hand shovel abont the place.

The Messrs. Fluke are no novices in the grain business, having bad some ten years expeiience before coming to our citv. Thus Horton has added another solid enterprise to her already formid able list. Onr Hiawatha Letter. The Hiawatha waterworks are not vet in running condition.

The public schools and the Acadamy opened tins week. Large attendance at both. Around the court house rumors of fun in connection with the county printing are heard. If the seven papers of Brown county bid there will be a time. sure.

About one hundred excursionists left for Ohio, Saturday. Deputy sheriff Sam Johnson was among the number, so we can prophecy thirty days of ease for Hiawatha and Horton evil-doers. Democrats who are not satisfied with the nomination of Jim Orr for congressman may find some consolation in the fact that Geo. T. Williams would have been the "offering" had he been a speech maker.

A report of the fair is unnecessary as nearly all Horton attended. I would like to remark, however, that much fault is found because the flambeau club did not appear either Thursday or Friday night. Arthur Dodge, of Reserve, beat his wife in a shocking manner one day last week, and fled leaving her unconscious. They are formerly of Hiawatha, and were married about four years ago. Mrs.

Dodge and her three children came to this city Sunday, and efforts are being put forth to capture the husband. The Lean Man. Special State Fair Trains. The Chicago, Kansas Nebraska Railway will run special trains daily during fair week, commencing on Tuesday, September 18th, and continuing until Saturday, Sept. 22, from Horton, Belleville, Herington and intervening points.

These trains will leave the above places in the morning and returning, leave Topeka, in the evening, and will be a great conven-ienco to the people on the Rock Island Route who desire to attend the state fair. Secretary E. G. Moon is preparing advertising matter and anticipates a large attendance. A special time card will be published in a few days, which can be obtained of all ticket agents.

For Sale. H. B. Buck, of Horton. took the first premium on his mammoth jack, Jim, and the second premium on the mammoth jack, Maje.

The jacks are for sale. Hiawatha World. Mr. Buck desires the Railway Regis ter to say that he will sell his jacks at a bargain. Here is a chance for some one.

What's the matter with the greatest repub lican majority since lbob. Tne republic cans elect every state officer, every cong ressman, and nine-tenths of the members of both branches of the legislature.

The w-ay Blaine threw protection fire-brands into the ranks ot democracy was a caution, and the sickest thing Tuesday mor ning this side ot an over-loaded stomach was the Maine wing ot the democratic, party. Cleveland probably helped to roll up the unprecedented majority br holding back his apology of acceptance and firing it at the Maine voters on the morning of election. His free trade and other boss British notions to injure the American workingmen, so enraged the Maine voters that they turned out and give Calamity Cleveland a rebuke that will give him many a night's sweat before the final bounce in November. 30.000 majority!

On Monday, of this week, as the finishing touches were leing given it another lady appeared upon the scene who deliberately applied a match to the light material of which it was made, and before the flames could be extinguished the flag was almost con sumed. Our informant did not say what reason she gave for doing such an irrational act, but says she attended the re publican meeting Monday night, 6he appeared again upon the scene and elec trified all in the building by saying: "I am the woman who burned your flag."

From there she will go to Pennsylvania to spend the winter. Dr. Crafton, Bndd Nadeau and Wiley Parker played foot-ball with the big pumpkins at the fair in Hiawatha last week.

Dr. F. E. Craf ton, August 18, 1888. INTERIOR SCENE IN Mchl4tf Our people need not fret because of the absence of any entertainments for the next two weeks: To-night we have Halliday's minstrels, the K.

P. band ball next Tuesday night, the anniversary eel ebratioa the 20th, the engineers and fire men's ball the 25th, with a number of church socials sprinkled in between. Horton takes no hack seat when it comes to keeping the society ball rolling. The game of ball between the Craig Bros, team and a picked nine of Hia watha boys on the fair grounds in that city last Friday, was a Waterloo for our boys in fact they received a terrible "basting" at the hands ot their opponents. We have failed to learn the of ficial score but understand it was about 16 to 5 in favor of Hiawatha.

Now, boys, brace and redeem yourselves. You can play ball if you want to. The fire boys were called out Saturday evening to save the residence of Mr. Van natta, but their brave efforts were of no avail. An inefficient supply of water rendered it impossible to do anything.

The contents of the building were nearly If not entirely destroyed. The house and contents were fully insured. If some company would construct a system of water works in Horton it would make a mint of money. John Harbison and Ed. Mt-Stein went down to Dennisoii last Sunday to play ball with the Muscotah boys against the Dennison team.

The game was a "pud- din" for the Muscotah boys as the score stood 20 to 4 in their fayor. Harbison did good work In the box, "striking out' fifteen men, while McStein held down the first bag with his usual good play ing. H. H. Smith, a gentleman of considerable capital of Albuquerquj, N.

was in the city over Sunday. He made our office a pleasant call on Monday and we enjoyed our half hour's chat with him hugely, ne was very much prepossessed with the appearance of our little city and wound up his remarks by saying that "for pluck, energy, enterprise and push Kansas people are away ahead of those in any other state." Monday night the board of education met in the city hall to consider the prop- sitions of several school house seat-men and examining the merits of each seat as extolled upon by the different represen tatives. They finally decided upon and purchased 276 seats of the "saw-tuck" pattern, from the S. C. Borhani company of Wabash, Ind.

The seats purchased are single, and are not only serviceable but very neat. Mi. Todd gives them the name saw-buck." Died, Saturday evening, Sept. 7, 1888, of malarial fever, Mrs. Nettie Ami Shutts, aged 24 years.

The deceased was appar ently in good health until Monday of last week, when she was taken suddenly sick and though she received the most careful nursing and the best medical attendance, it was of no avail and on Saturday evening, at 8 o'clock, the weary soul took its flight back to Him who gave it. She leaves a sorrowing husband and two children one a babe but a few months old to mourn her loss and to them is extended the sympathy of all our people. The funeral services occur red from the house Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. One of the neatest decorated cars the writer ever had the pleasure of seeing. was on the east bound passenger train last Saturday evening, from Holton, and contained a delegation of people who were on their way to Columbus.

Upon the roof of the car was the inscription "Holton, Jackson County, Kansas." The first word was formed of ears of corn, the second of apples, the third of potatoes and the fourth of onions. Sunflowers were profuse in number, while grasses and vegetables of every description were in abundance. It was indeed an elaborate affair and a big advertisement of Jackson county. Two other coaches were trimmed and decorated nearly like this one and taken over the Mo. P.

One of our merchants said to us Monday evening that he believed free trade the simon pure article would be the greatest blessing this country has ever realized. On being asked what he would do if the city council would rescind the ordinance requiring peddlers, street fakirs and the lik'e to pay a license, and allow them to "come in without duty," replied that "it would be wrong; that the merchants have their money invested here; live here make this fheirhome, and it would lie an injustice to us to allow foreign dealers to come in with their chf-ap goods and demoralize prices and trade in general." That is just the position of the republican party. Tt is opposed to foreigners eoming into this country, with their cheap goods manufactured by infamously cheap labor, to demoralize the trade ot American merchants, our great manufacturing institutions and of necessity reduce the 'wages of every American wage-earner. When our commerce gates are made so as to only swing outward then will we witness universal prosperity all over this land of the stars and stripes and of the free, end not until then. Special State Fair Trains.

Losses Paid. Mr. Wright, who, it will be remem bered, lost his barn, a lot of farm imple ments, hay and grain, by fire and light ning some six weeks ago, received from the Burlington Ins. Co. last Friday, in payment of a policy held by him in that company.

The money was paid without any unnecessary quibbling or bickerings on the part of the company and the amount will be a great help to Mr. Wright. Messrs. Todd A Smyth are agents for this company by the way, one of the best companies in the country. Mrs.

J. II. Mitchell, who has been seriously in almost ever since her arrival in this city several weeks ago, has so far recovered as to be able to be up. She was outdoors Sunday, the first time since she was taken sick. Contractor Avery ha the brick work about completed on the Presbyterian church.

He is hustling it along in his characteristic way of doing things up in a hurry. When completed this church will cost about $12,000. Monday of last week, was the cigar makers' international holiday. The boys in the Arcade Factory observed the day in an appropriate manner. Any union man working on that day is subject to a fine of from $5 to $50.

Talk about crowded trains the G. R. encampment catches more travelers than all other celebrations combined. The east bound trains over the K. N.

are loaded almost to the bottom steps on the coach platforms. Contractor Hotchkiss has the brick work completed on the Methodist church and is putting in the wood work just as rapidly as a large force of mechanics can do It. This edifice, when completed, will cost about $13,500. L. C.

Lawrence, who is employed on T. W. Stanley's new tenement houses. says they will be as nice a row as there is in the city when completed. Mr.Stan- ley says a man will not lose anything by erecting good tenement houses.

The Brownlee boys report plenty to do with their dray and transfer line, They are careful men about their work, are reasonable in their charges and are always busy. Let thein haul for you once and you will always want them. The invitations are out for a ball by the brotherhoods of locomotive engineers and firemen, for the evening of the 25th in3t. in Kemper's opera house. We bespeak for all who may attend a grand time.

Music by Pryor's band, of St. Joe, Our old Iowa friend, "Stan" Brewster, of the Creston Daily Advertiser, has this to say of our proposed daily: The Whitaker boys, of the Horton Railway Register, are hankering to start a daily. If they do it will be a "hummer. What city in the state of Kansas, and especially those only two years old, can boast of nineteen brick business blocks? This is one of Horton's boasts on her second birthday. This is not the only feature we have to lw.ipt of, by any means.

It is a nip and tuck race between Main and Front streets as to which will secure the greatest number and handsomest business blocks. So many buildings are being erected that the city seems to be spreading out in every direction. It is better thus. A pointer to Manager Kemper: If you want to "pack the house" for a two or three nights run, secure Maud Atkinson and her excellent company. This is one of the best of traveling companies, and it is worth a dollar a head to see Atkin son in "Ingomar." Horton is over-run with strangers, the most of whom are looking for locations.

Scarcely a night passes but what the ho tels hang up the card, "no standing room or beds either." Business is picking up wonderfully and the merchants generally are busy all day long. We unintentionally omitted anything about that bright little sunbeam that arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. J.
