Keep up for your horses and hogs or you will have to pay something into city treasury. Two additions have been made to Fredonia this fall. Our county seat seems to have a tendency to spread. Many of our farmers are through gathering corn, and tnoct of them confess to a better yield than they expected. The town was chuck up full of people, Tuesday, but we never saw a more orderly crowd on an election day than that.

Good potatoes, that. These are a fair sample of the potatoes raised by C. Bowen.

Election day passed off very quietly, and the township pretty well represented, although not more than three fourths of all the votes were polled. Young Bros, again have a monopoly of the meat business. This is the second time two meat markets have been found to be one too many in this town. Chetopa township never surprisd the balance of the county so much as when she polled such a big vote for DeMoss. The Democrats ought to vote her achromo.

The council should at once Bee to it that the walks we already have in town be repaired, and that some crosswalks be laid down. Muddy weather is not far off and we would like to be prepared for it. The accounts of A. F. Luse have been placed in my hands for collection.

Parties owing Mr. Luse or Luse Son will please pay me very soon and oblige. Rob't O. Graham. We have information that a 14-inch vein of coal was found at Thayer at a depth of 500 feet.

Bills were printed at this office, last Tuesday, announcing a Masonio festival to be held in their hall on next Tuesday, November Oth, which everybody is invited to attend. The proceeds will be devoted to the furnishing of their hall with carpets, chairs, etc. Complaints have been made in many sections of the state of "cattle dying in corn fields of a mysterious disease." That cry is heard yearly and is expected, the same as ducks, about the first of November. It is nothing that causes these deaths ex cept the ergot or smut on the corn, and cattle will keep on dying just as long as they the and corn lasts if allowed to run in the fields.

The only remedy we know of is a preventative and that is to cut up the corn and in cutting it up to chop all the smut off as you go along. Smut is poison. Register: The Mo-ko-ho-ko Indians, part of the Sao Fox tribe, eighty in number, camped, Wednesday night, near this city on their way to the Sao Fox agency in the Indian territory, where they will henceforth remain. They were in charge of Col. E.

D. Banister, U. S. Indian inspector, assisted by Lieut. John D.

3. The funeral ceremony was conducted by Rev. Robertson, of Thayer. The deceased had been living in Kansas but a short time, having formerly lived in York State. The bereaved husband and family have the sympathy of many warm hearts in their sad affliction.

A crop report published Tuesday, says that in sixty-one counties in Kansas the average yield of corn per acre is 23 bushels; in Johnson and Labette, 10 to 12 bushels, and in Saline, Potawatomie, Osborn, Morris, Harvey, Atchison, Anderson all the way from 18 to 85; in Phillips county, 35. That report, however, must "have been made prior to the husking as the crop will average at least 35 bushels to the acre in Wilson county. nf the most extraordinary to the milliners business. II. C.

Another big strike by Chicago butchers is on. The strikers number six thousand and they lack a good many of all being out, yet. Ivk an extremely cool day when Chicago is not on some kind of a strike.

Rev. Robertson of Thayer, accompanied by O. B. Lukens, of that city, were callers at the Advocate office yesterday. Rev.

Robertson conducted the funeral services of Mrs. Newcomb, mention of whose death appears in another place. DeMoss can flatter himself that it was his own popularity that gave him such majorities in Republican townships, but at the same time he must remember that had a more popular man than Short been his opponent his walk-over would have been more difficult. J. W.

Tuesday, to cast his ballott and brought with him a very sore hand A oommon house fly bit him on the back of his hand in the vicinity of a little pimple, last Saturday, and in a couple of hours his hand and arm were swollen to twice their natural size. A "colud pusson" with, four or five ol the greenest and toughest looking farm hands that ever struck Altoona, billed the town and secured the stone church for a minstrel show Monday night. Those who attended and they were not a few say that the whole thing was a snide from beginning to end and that the "chestnuts" they got off were so old and stale that the audience was completely disgusted. tion as road overseer in DiBt.

Despite the assertions of the 3d phenomena on record is contained in pulled in they pulled out and came tearing down Main street, one behind the other, and' making more noise than a pair of cyclones. It is useless to say that they had the right of way.

Gid Richardson stopped them both just outside of town. No damages. A protracted meeting of considerable interest is being held by the "Winebrenarians" or Church of God, at the Bell school house, north of town. The Church of God was or-ganized in 1830 in Harrisburg, by John Winebrener (after whom the church is often called) a German Reform minister who withdrew from that church to establish one more in accordance with his views of the Bi-tle. The creed is the same except that they do not baptize infants, and do wash feet at the Lord's Supper.

D. Sloan, ith Ira Thurman as deputy; street commissioner, C. Cleaver. With but one exception it is, in a good set of officers throughout; that exception is the appointee for marshal, and that only on grounds of physical inability. Time, however, may remove that, as he is now able to get about the streets without the aid of a crutch.
