R. M. Chilcott has a bargain in nineteen acres improved land adjoining Wamego on the north for sale, or trade for an unimcumbered Wamego or Topeka dwelling. Also 160 acres near Wamego, fenced, for snap. The Union Pacific railroad time table has again changed.

Instead of passing here, as heretofore, they now pass at Rossville. The east bound leaves at usual hour, 1:48 p.m., but the west bound goes at 2:55 p.m. The change is made in order to catch the fast mail out of Kansas City: This is a week of weddings. A couple dropped off the train on Wednesday, thinking Wamego was the county seat, and asked Judge Fee for marriage license. As he could not accommodate them they went on to Abilene, where they resided, and will probably find a probate court where the document so much needed can be procured.

MARRIED -On Tuesday evening, September 3, 1889, at the Presbyterian church, by Rev. Park, the bride's father assisted by Rev. Crawford, Mr. William Davidson and Miss Margeret Park, of this city. A general invitation was extended to the public and the church was crowded.

The happy couple will reside at Clay Center where the groom is in business. Friend Fee, in his race for county attorney at the primary, now sees the actual condition of affairs, and that his friends were not what they were "cocked up to be." In the words of the poet of Paint Creek: "Souls of fire may dare the fire, May aspire to rule the fire, But the element consumes Aay sucker who presumes." Mr. Elmer Hetrick and Miss Leila Cotton, both of this city were married at the residence of Mrs. Rust, of Denver, on Tuesday, September 3, 1889, (sister of Julius Stelzner of Wamego) by Rev. Freeman of Central Presbyterain church.

Mr. Hetrick has been operator at the U. P. depot, in this city for several years, while Miss Cotton, the oldest daughter of John Cotton, the groceryman, was raised in Wabaunsee county near this city. The family are spending the season at Manitou Springs.

Joseph LaFontaine, of Wabaunsee, is a candidate for the office of treasurer. Mr. La Fontaine is one of the most substantial men in the county and one of the leading citizens of Wabaunsee township, in which place he has resided for many years. He is well indorsed by his fellow townsmen, and will be a strong man in the conventinn. Mr.

La Fontaine has been attending the Paris exposition and visiting different parts of Europe during the summer, and is now on his way home, and expects to reach here about the first of News. Geo. Riat's "liniment man" is finally in limbo. He tried the same dodge on Henry Mellen, near Ogden, but asked for camphor, instead of liniment, to rub. on his side, at the same time asking that he be permitted to step into a bed-room to "apply the remedy." No sooner was he gone than Mrs.

Mellen discovered the absence of $15 from the bureau drawer. Neighbors scoured the country and captured the thief. He proves to be the identical chap who robbed Geo. Riat's home, a few miles above Louisville on Rock Creek. Mr.

Riat and Marshal Pierson identified the man, who gives his name as Randall, at the Manhattan on Wednesday.

It appears as though Daye Goldstandt, the great dry goods merchant of Wamego, had been spending the past five weeks in New York City for some other reason than that of pleasure. The manner in which goods are being daily unloaded at the doors of his dry goods emporium suggests the fact that Dave has the interests of his Pottawatomie and Wabaunsee county customers at heart, for box after box, and crate after crate--in fact car load after car load--of dress goods, carpets and clothing havebeen unloaded upon the sidewalk adjacent to his elegant 23 store rooms- two floors, each in size 25x120 feet. It is something wonderful how Mr. Goldstandt's business has developed in past years. We now have a photograph of Dave's first business house in Wamego, in front of which the photo.

shows a large shirt with the name of Dave Goldstandt printed thereon. From a small, cramped-up room he moved to his elegant and costly emporium where he now holds forth, with his many clerks to attend to his numerous customers. While absent Mr. Goldstandt telegraphed home weekly to know how the corn crop was developing and when he received the last report, which was a handsome compliment to this section of Kansas, he quadrupled his remained in the city several days longer that he might select goods, the price of which were at once reasonable and the quality durable, for his farmer friends. The great supply daily arriving and being placed upon the shelves are wonderful to behold, for no house west of Kansas City can show such a grand collection of just such articles as must and will be worn by every Kansan within a day's drive of Wamego.

They must be seen to be appreciated, The goods are now being displayed and should be seen by everybody. Mr. Goldstandt shows wonderful pluck and enterprise in buying such a quantity. COUNTY SEAT. An Open Letter to the Tax-payers and Electors of Pottawatomie County, GENTLEMEN: Having spent some weeks in investigating the wishes of the people of the county, and found them very favorable to the proposition, many of them in fact enthusiastic over the matter of a removal and permanent location of the county seat, and knowing that it was a peculiar combination of circumstances that removed, the seat to Westmoreland, we concluded to circulate petitions for a removal to Louisvitle.

a town accessible via the Union Pacific and Blue Valley railways to a large portion of the county. In order to refute certain statements made by Westmoreland's strikers, we find it necessary to send this circular to the tax-payers of the county. Louisville proposes to erect as good or better county buildings upon land deeded to the county, in said city of Louisville, as now located upon the southeast quarter of section 20, and southwest quarter of section 21, town 9, range 10, Without Cost to the Tux-payers. This is something Westmoreland agreed to do, but as the records of the county show, she never fulfilled. Before the people are asked to vote upon the proposition.

A Good and Sufficient Bond for the Erection of said Building, will be filed with the county commissioners. The several reports circulated about cutting county lines are groundless and without foundation. Louisville will guarantee to extend no influence in that direction. or make any promises to aid in cutting the county. The foolish that the court house is to be located half way between Louisville and Wamego is also "cooked up" by Westmoreland.

If you will read our petition, it will be seen that it says: "AND WE HEREBY DESIGNATE THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE, IN SAID COUNTY, AS THE PLACE TO WHICH IT IS PROPOSED TO REMOVE SAID COUNTY SEAT." See Compiled Laws 1885, Sec. 2, Chap. 26, A portion of which reads as follows: "That when the county seat of any county has been located by a vote of the electors of the county, the place to which it is proposed to remove the county seat shall be designated in the petition, and the balloting at the election shall be for or against a removal of the county seat to the place so designated." When -thirds of the tax-payers and legal electors of the county shall have signed our petition, then and not until then shall we ask the county sioners to call an election. "Our motto is, "Charity for all," and "The greatest good to the largest number." Respectfully yours, C. E.
