LOCAL NEWS. THE WEALTH OF FORT SCOTT. An Excellent Showing. We publish below a table showing the estimate of the amount of business transacted in the city during the past year. The figures we think are very creditable to our city.

A slight twist of the wrist is all that is necessary to blow a hole through a four foot brick wall. "Dangerous" men and women will please make a note of this fact. Mr.

G. D. Jackson, associate editor of the Joplin Bulletin, received the sad news this week, of the death of his mother. The darkest, saddest hour in a man's life is when his mother is laid to rest in the grave. Men, generally, owe more to the influence of a mother than to any other earthly power that exists.

In his sorrow, Mr. Jackson will have the consolation of numerous sympathizing HENRPS SALOON AND RESTAURANT. The Grand Re-Opening To-Day. The following card of invitation was distributed yesterday, in the city, by Mr. Henry Wolf, the proprietor the new and elegant restaurant' and saloon, just opened in this city: AT HOME.

SIR: You are politely invited to attend the Re-opening at HENRY'S Saloon and Restaurant, to-morrow- Wednesdayning, August 19th, at 10 o'clock, at Julius Neubauer's Old Ice Cream Parlor, on Main Street. Respectfully, HENRY WOLF. This brief and short notice was all that seemed to be necessary for the occasion, for all the day long people were going to and from this pleasant resort. This Restaurant and Saloon, is first class in every respect, and every department, a model of neatness. Mr.

Wolf well knows how to conduct such a house, and SO long as his name appears as proprietor, the public will have no fear of its management. The bar is presided over by Billy Smith, and we consider it useless for us to speak in his favor in this community, any more than to say that he is in Mr. Wolf's employ. We have no doubt but that Mr. Wolf will receive the patronage he justly merits.

The Monitor pitches into M. E. Hud- son, this morning. It says Republican Grangers should take no stock in Rim. -The Grangers know who to take stock in.

How about the Grand Rally of the Grangers a year ago? "Dilapidated wagons," "lank horses," "don't pan out well." and other abusive expressions similar. Republican Grangers haven't forgotten these epithets. They know who their friends are, and whom to follow. If the Republicans of the county desire success they will not use the Monitor among the Grangers. exchanges, speaks the following kind word of the SENTINEL: The third number of the BORDER SENTINEL, a twenty column paper published tri-weekly at Fort Scott, by Barter Goode, comes to us this week.

It is a neat looking messenger, and has every appearance of thrift and enterprise. Just such a paper will be liberally supported by the people of Fort Scott. Those of our Joplin friends who do not feel able to take a daily this tri-weekly will suprly the place. Subscription only per year. The Joplin Bulletin, one of our best The chronic howl by Republican journals, "rebel," "traitor." is again being started.

The Monitor is out this morning in an article against M. E. Hudson, insinuating that he was a rebel during the war. This they know is false. M.

E. Hudson was just such a rebel as was General C. W. Blair, and men of that stamp; any one of whom have more genuine loyality, and pure patriotism in the smallest point of their little finger, than is to be found in the entire Monitor outf.t. "The First Baptist Church and funday School," is the title of a monthly publication soon to be issued in this city.

Rev. T. W. Green, pastor of the Baptist church, is the prime mover, and having had some experience in tle pullicatien of acligious journals will undoubtedly make a success of the new enterprise. The paper will contain all items of interest concerning the church and Sunday school.

Mr. A. Graff called at our office this afternoon and left us a specimen of cotton which he had raised in his garden on the plaza. We did not learn what umount Mr. Graff had cuitivated but suppose romething less than four bales.

Ofcourse cotton is a success in Kansas, and next year we predict a large crop. Prof. R. B. Prof.

R. B. Dil worth, late superintondent of the schools of this city, is now in Ohio. We notice in the Mrigs County Telegraph, Published at Pomeroy, Ohio, that at a Teachers' Institute to be held on the 24th instant. "Prof.

R. B. Dil worth, late of Kausas," heads the list of Instructors. An Increase of Over One Hundred in Twe're Monihs. Form Jas.

Brown, Countv Clerk, we get the following figures as returned from the Assessor, showing the population of the city. Last year tie poju tian was re nod at 5,025. The returns this year show an increase of over one hun tre.l. When we tike into consideration the fact that the emigration to the State has been less than usual, it is encouraging to observe that we have received our full proportion. Accordto the way returns are made in the Northern part of the State.

Fort Scott could claim several hundred more than the correct returns above: No. of males over 21 years of 1,228 6 under 21 1,398 4 females, over 21 1,085 4 6 4 under 21 1,418 POPULATION OF FORT SCOTT. 5,129 That Renaway. The runaway on Monday evening about dark, down Main street caused considerable excitement. Somebody yelled as though they were being torn to pieces, and people started on every hand to follow after the wagon.

A man about the size of one of the Monitor attaches, run at full speed down the middle of the street, hat in hand and hair streaming in the wind. When in front of Bright Rro's, store, he came across an old hat lying in the road, torn and tattered. Picking it up, he exclaimed, "horrible," and then followed in hot pursuit the frightened team, expecting to find the mangled form of a human being. At the corner of Market Square, he noticed in the dim light a round stick, and supposing it to he the arm of the man, turned his head away from the sickening sight, muttering "torn to pieces," "splendid local item," Coming up to the wagon he eagerly inquired where the man was, and whether he was dead. Some one said the man was at Terry's store.

Our hero rushel back there and found the man purchasing goods, for family consumption. But the item must not be spoiled, and in yesterdays issue of that paper appeared a fourth column article headed "Terrible Ranaway." Our old friend, D. B. Emmert. was in the city on Tuesday.

Dave is on of the prominent candidates befor the Republican State Convention for the position of Secretary of State, and besides is one of the most honorable gentlemen we have leurd spoken of for that position. To nominate him would not be any drawback to t. ticket. Some poor, unforsaken cuss, who has not the fear of his Maker before his eyes, came into our office on last Saturday and stole therefrom the senjor's meerschaum pipe. We don't wish this fellow any bad luck, but if he should happen to choke to death on ambier, we would not feel like helping to pay his funeral expenses.

We would say to all who wish to visit the Fort Scott Beer Garden on I next Sunday, that we will have Fort Scott Beer of the very best, and other refreshments, and that every thing will be done for the comfort of all present. MARKS Co. The Lawrence Triune suggests that Osborn's friends take a run over. to Fort Scott and buy up the Monitor, as was done two years age. Through its peculiar course just previous to conventions the Monitor has in days gone by been sold to great pecuniary advantage, and it would be sad if the point was missed now.

And the Monitor talks about other papers C. Times. The furniture for Mr. Wolf's new restaurant was made by Mr. M.

W. Martin, and painted by Mr. Scothorn. Such work will bear the inspection of the best mechanics. None but skillful workmen can do such work.

The BORDER SENTINEL now comes to us tri-weekly from Fort Scott. Mr. Barter has associated Mr. S. L.

Goode with him in its publication, and the paper gives evidence of a liveliness that bespeak: for it a prosperous future. It should Lear in mind, however, that too much independence will spoil many a Goode Reporter. Of 156 delegates elected to the Republican State Convention, 91 are certain for Osborn, C5 are for Horton and 25 for Small wood. The Monitor publishes an account of the arrest of Long, the horse thief, which was given in the SENTINEL a week ago. That's the way that paper gives the news.

Macbe Travestie, A burlesque on "Macbeth," and the extremely laughable farce, "Yankee Peddler," are the plays selected by the members of Eureka Lodge for performance next week. Several valuable accessions have been made to the Edition" of the Lodge since the last performance, and it is safe to say that all attending the next entertainment will have a rich treat. Marriage Licenses. The following marriage licenses have been issued since the first of August: I. HI.

Hendrixson and M. J. Henry; Hosea W. Shaw and Sophia M. H.

Heitz; Chas. F. Libby and Mary Ann Williams; N. E. Burk and Miss Dora Miller.

Judge Day kicked a cow the other day, and he now employs his time in bathing his toes with arnica. He says he has quit kicking cows. John S. Bentley, one of LaCygne's worthy attorneys, was in the city on Tuesday. The County Council Patrons of Husbandry, meets on Friday, in this city.
