The Kansas City and Pacific railroad company has deposited with the county treasurer the sum of $2,588.80 to pay the damages assessed by the commissioners for the right-of-way for said road through Allen county. Some parties who at first refused to accept the r'ewards of the right-of way commissioners have, since the condemnation, came in and drew their money, thinking it much better to accept what has been offered than to go to law. There are many others, however, who propose to carry the matter into the courts and test the judgment of the commissioners as to the amount of damages sustained. Petitions for signatures to call a railroad election to vote bonds to the Chanute and Ft. Scott road, are being circulated in Cottage Grove township, Allen county, this week.

It Cottage Crove township can by her own action have the honor of securing this great through trunk line, which with its connections runs from ocean to ocean, she will have honored herself more than in unything she has ever done. The benefits to her are too great to be argued. Let her now look to the great honor that is limes. Yes, but the honor in this case would be about like that of the young man who asked to accompany his best girl home from the "spelling school," and was refused. He could only "sit on the fence and see her go by." Judging from the bills, also from the Inde.

pendent, Neosho Falls will have nothing but a parade and a dance in the evening, on the 4th If they had any thing, of course they would advertise it. Better come over and hear Judge Stillwell, boys, -Yates Center Democrat. Judging from the above Yates Center will have nothing but a speech by Judge Stillwell. come over to Iola where we will have two fine orators, a flambeau club, grand display of fireworks, a dance and every kind of amusement you can imagine. If you want something good to eat.

go to the Star Grocery. Every thing fresh and good. We have the nicest stock of queensware and glass ware in the city. All new goods and new styles. No old shelf-worn stock to select from.

We also have the famous music box that broke our friend's heart. Keep still, boys, and nobody will know you have that old seeond hand stock of queensware. KINGSLEY WHARTON. We are sorry to learn that some of the boys of Iola never miss an opportunity to "guy" the persons attending the normal. We do not know personally whether our boys are guilty of such conduct, but if they are we can only say that they should stop it at once.

It neither shows good sense or good manners. The ladies of the Relief Corps will give a supper at the G. A. R. Hall 011 the night of the Fourth.

Supper will be served from 6 until 10 o'clock p. m. All persons who desire to remain in the city to see the fireworks and flambeau parade, will be able to obtain a splendid supper at the hall for 25 cents. Mrs. D.

M. Riggs, wife of H. M. Riggs, died at her home in this city, Thursday morning at 8 o'clock, and was buried at the Iola cemetery yesterday forenoon. Mrs.

Riggs has been sick for a long time, and until a few hours before her disease her friends had hoped for her recovery. The party in town who has worn out the patience of more than a dozen persons by begging them to procure liquor for him, will probably rely entirely on his own resources in the futnre. At least he is out 50 cents and was treated to a good dose of salt, vinegar and molasses. There will be a public examination of teachers on Friday and Saturday, July 8th and 9th in the High School building at Iola. The examination will begin on Friday morning, July 9th at nine o'clock.

MARY CHAMBERLAIN. County Supt. The county treasurer says that all real estate taxes not paid next. week will be advertised, and all personal property taxes not paid will be placed in the hands of the sheriff for collection. Persons who have not yet paid their taxes will take notice.

For some time past the Live Hardware has been advertising that it was going to leave, but we have reliable information that such is not the fact. Wonder if a merchant thinks it does a town any good to say he is going to move his stock of goods away. Dr. Lafary, furnishes rubber plates lined with gold, which are equal to entire gold plates, in utility, and can be made to fit the mouth better, besides being much cheaper. Old Sol has been getting in his work this week, and the tendency of the mercury has been upward.

If you have not yet paid your personal property tax, you waut to begin to look out for the sheriff. lIe will be calling on you after next week. Go to the Star Grocery for Queensware and Glass-ware. All new styles, and new goods. No old second hand shelf worn goods to select from.

Cheaper than the Cheapest. From parties living in Osage township we learn that it is a settled fact that the Kansas City and Pacif a road will go to Kincaid. This leaves IBue Mound with the "bag to hold." We understand an effort is being made to have a post-office established in the center of Osage township on the line of the proposed Parsons and Pacific railroad. An office is surely needed there, and we hope the efforts to secure one will prove successful. We know that it is yet a little early to talk about the fall campaign, but in order to be in the lead.

we this week make the offer to furnish the DEMOCRAT from July 1 to January 1 for the low price of 50 cents. This is a campaign proposition and will not apply to old subscribers. There are some rumors on the street that there has been some gross negligence on the part of some of our people in allowing the sale of the Fort Scott and Wichita road to be confirmed withont an effort being made to look after the interest of our city and township. The DEMOCRAT will look the matter up and if there is any blame it shall be placed where it justly belongs. We had intended to give our renders more local news this week, but after two pages of the paper had gone to press Patterson Davies came In and demanded an exera space on our locas page, and they insisted so strong that we could not refuse them, in fact.

we are glad they did insist. Read their ad at the top of of this page, and you will be wiser and perhaps wealthier. Up to this date we have not heard of a single person who will be a candidate before the Democratic convention for any office. So far as the Democrats are concerned it is to be a clear case of the office seeking the man, but on the other side it will be from ten to twenty men seeking the office. But if our memory serves us rightly, the people of Allen county have had enough of "rings" and office seekers.

At the election this fall there are only four officers to elect. It is yet some, weeks until a nominating convention will be held, and yet we have the names of some twenty persons who will ask for a nomination at the Republican convention, and not a day passes but a new man is added to the list. Is there a man in the county who dare say that harmony can or will prevail in in the Republican ranks this fall. We do not know what the provocation was calling forth the item in the Moran Herald abusing Mr. Allard, but we do know that the publication of such all item by a party in no way responsible is very unwise.

It would have been bad enough had the editor of the paper published the item, but for a who is in temporary charge of a newspaper, during the illness or absense of the editor to prostitute the columns of the paper to the personal abuse of citizens, is a thing that should and doubtless does call forth the condemnation of every person in the county. Frank Cease came in from Greensburg, Kans, last week, on a visit to his folks at Mr. John Rees's near Geneva. This side of Wichita a heavy hail storm struck the train on which he was coming. Of the storm the Kansas City Journal of Sunday says: "Missouri Pacific passenger train No.

43, due here yesterday morning at 9:20, did not arrive until three hours later, owing to a tremendous hail storm it met a short distance this side of Wichita. The storm was simply terific, and every window won one side of the train was smashed. Even the small glass ventilators were broken, and the exterior of the cars exposed to the hail bore the appearance of having been bruised and indented by stones hurled against it. Engineer Ruhland is reported to have brought the train to a standstill on account of the fierceness of the storm. The passengers not injured but got thoroughly frightened -Colony Free Press.

Last week W. I. Richards and family. and J. J.

Casmire and family started for a trip through southeast Missouri and Arkansas. At Fort Scott Freddie Casmire was taken sick, and the family were compelled to return. WV. I. Richards aud family proceeded on their journey.

Freddie has been very sick ever since his return. Oscar Foust went up to Leavenworth Monday to look after the interests of Iola in the matter of the St. Louis Ft. Scott Wichita railroad bonds before the confirmation by Judge Brewer of the sale of said road. But he arrived too lates.

The salerhad been confirmed before he arrived there. All Wishing to attend the National Educational Association Meeting at Chicago, should avail themselves of the opportunity offered by the St. Louis, Fort Scott and Wichita railroad, one fair for the round trip, tickets good going 5th to 12th, and returning July 18th. All efforts to secure foreign speakers for the Fourth failed, but we assure all who may attend that Mr. Foust will deliver as fine an oration as any person we could have secured from abroad.

In fact, we believe he will far excell many whom the committee attempted to secure and failed. English Spavin Liniment removes all Hard, Soft or Calloused Lumps and Blemishes from horses.

It was decided to have 211 eight months term of school in all departmentsexcept the high school, which will probably be nine months. E. N.

Hartman, of Chicago, a brother of Lem and Morg, was in the city the fore part of the week visiting. The copious rain of last Friday evening advanced our prospect for a corn crop very materially.

L. Allard, of lola Fatally Shot at Moran. Thursday eventug about 7:45, A. W. Beck received a message from Moran, stating that W.

L. Allard had been Heat once went to the depot to learn more of the particulars und how badly Allard was hurt. In a conversation over the wires, he learned that Allard had been shot by W. S. Santuels.

The shooting grew out of the publication in the Moran Herald of the foilwing villainous, malicious and cowardly insult: Wo notice W. D. Allard, of Iola, on our streets Tucsdny, This is the same nin who lived here about a year ago and succeeded in beating our business men out of various amounte from 10 cents to five dollars. We hnve seen great many "ornery cusses" but we think Allard takes the bakery. Mr.

Beck cannot expect his interests to thrive under euchan agent. It appears that during the illness of Mr. Ingersoll. that Samuels has had temporary control of the Irald, and from the above it would indicate that he had availed himself of the nity to vent his spleen Mr. Allard for some personal grievance.

There are various rumors in circulation in regard to the shooting, and from Phil Moss, we get the following version of the affair, although he was not 311 eye witness to the shooting. He says that when Allard had seen the notice in the paper that he called upon Mr. Samuels and asked him who wrote that item in the Herald about him, and was informed by Samuels that he was the party. Allard then turned to leave the store, at the time remarking, "That is all right." It is said that after Allard left Samuels' storo that he went out on street and was talking with some of the the citizens, some of whom seen that he was very angry, and they went into the store and advised Samuels that he had better not go out on the street, as they feared there would be trouble. It appears that Samuels heeded this advice, and did not go out of his store untill Allard was seen driving through the streets and it was thought he had started for Iola, when Samuels started to go to supper.

But it appears that instead of leaving town, Allard drove his team to the edge of town and went back up the street, and was sitting in front of the hotel when Samuels came along, when it is said he made some remark to Samuels and raised from his chair and made a motion to strike Samuels, Samuels stepped back and told him if he struck him he would shoot him, at the same time drawing a revolver when a sculle ensued during which the fatal shot was fired. During the scutlle it is thought that Allard struck Samuels several blows in the face, but someseem to think that Allant was only attemptto secure a hold of the revolver. The ball entered just below the pit of the stomach and is supposed to have lodged in the back-bone. The shooting occurred about 7 o'clock, and Allard died about 9. Will Bartels, Mrs.

Allard and Ida Bartels left Iola as soon as they heard of the shooting, but did not arrive at Moran until after the death of the victim. Samuels was at once placed under arrest, and had a preliminary hearing last evening, but too late for us this week. The deceased leaves a wife in delicate health and four small children in almost destitute circumstances. P. the above was put in type we have heard another version of the affair, which is to the effect that Samuels was not only the murderer, but the assaulting party, and there is no hope of getting facts; inthe matter until after there has been a full and fair investigation by the courts.

WALTERS. A Remarkable Letter. The other day while walkihg along the street we observed a rather myxterious sheet of paper lying on the walk and picking it up found the following written thereon, and as the contents are fully self explanatory, it is useless for us to add any comments: Augusta, May 27th, 1887. MY DEAR go shortly to Europe on a mission which 1 cannot fully explain. As you remember, experience has taught me much regarding what may be safely stated in private correspondence.

You are from Maine and hint will do. Too much prejudice growing out of old Romanism 8110 Rebellion." I must fix Ireland. You understand? My campaign really begins in Ireland. Wish I had started a little earlier. since John Sherman Has evidently begun his campaign, also.

Kansas isa prohibition state. It would be a capital idea to show up Sherman's whiskey opperations. I mean the time he made $90,000 one deal on whiskey. That little scrap of history ought to make the average Prohibitionist cross-eyed. I dodged prohibition, you remember.

I know from painful experience that Democratic editor delights in exposing our rascality. Suppose you start tlie $09,000,00 rackin the Democratic papers. That would be a proper cuper. I know we are starting early, but it seems necessary if we are not to be a "dead head" in the race. I must entrust to you my interest in your section.

Resort to any means to rally the enthusiastic supporters of Blaine and Logan, under any standard. Organize all clubs you can. "Flambeau" is the watchword for 1887. Sincerely yours J. G.
