The pumpkin pie 1s yellow, The buckweat cake is brown, The farmer's gray neck whiskers Are full of thistle down. The leaves are crisp and russet, The sumac's blazing red, The butternut descending Is cracked upon your head. The rabbit is cavorting Along the cloomy slope, i The shotgun of the sportsman Eliminates his lope. 1 The butterfly's departed, Likewise the belted bee, The small boy in the orchard, Is up the apple-tree. The counti; fair is blooming, The circus is no more, 1 And on the polished brass dogs, We make the hickory roar.

The trees wear lovely colors In beautiful excess; All nature seems to rustle Just like a new silk dross. The sausage soon will ripen, The popcorn soon will pop, And Christmas things enliven' The window of the shop. Sing hit for merry autumn, Sing ho! for autumn gay, pietty pot-pie squirrels Among the branches play. For now no merry bluebird Upon the rose-tree toots. And autumn, golden autumn, Serenely tip and scoots.

"Spaniard Cigars" At City Drug Store. Clyde Jacobs has been visiting his folks at El Dorado. He told us in a very animated way of the future pros pects of the city and made us feel there was danger of its being a rival of Clear water. He Raid that for genuine pleasure and happiness there was no place to equal it. Giving us a copy of the Walnut Valley Times, he walked out.

Our curiosity was excited and we turn ed to the paper to read and learn more about that city, where "genuine happiness and pleasure" aro to be found. In the local column we found such news as this: "Charlie Jacobs came over from Wichita, Friday, where he had been to enjoy the boom." We asked ourselves, why didn't Charlie "eujoy the boom" at home? We read again of a a and a and many other ordinary things that are not yet The Eldorado people doubtless take the affirmative side of the question, "Resolved, That there is more pleasure in the pursuit happiness than in the possession of it." We understand it now, that their "genuine pleasure and happiness" is in the pursuit of some desired object, Bring us some more papers, Clyde, and tell them when you go back that we have learned to be content with what we have.

The new election law says all printed election tickets heretsfter must have a space left at least one-eighth of an inch in width after the name of each candi date. When a ballot with a designated heading contains printed or pasted thereon, in place of another, a name not found on the regular ballot having such heading, such name shall be regarded by the judges as having been placed thereon for the purpose of fraud, and the ballot shall not be counted for the name so found.

Any person print ing or causing to be printed or pasted a ballot as described, or a ballot which omits any name found on the regular ticket, or any person who handle or distributes such fraudulent ballots, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction will be liable to a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $20.0, or to be imprisoned in the county jail not exceeding Bixty days. And whoever furnishes an elector who cannot read with a ticket, informing him that it contains a name different from those written or printed thereon, or who fraudulently or deceitfully changes the ballots on any elector, is also liable to a fine of $300 and 90 days in jail. "Hammer's Mixed Paints" At City Drug Store.

T. J. Maciedie shipped a carload of wheat last Friday, the first from Clearwater, for nearly a year. We wish there was grain enough in the country to justify him in devoting his time to that business. Bro.

Elder Wm. Parker informs us that Norwich had a big fire last Saturday night. Three business houses were burned, two of them being lately filled with new goods. It is believed an in cendiary did the work: He ought to hang his head. The track connecting the Santa Fe with the Southern Kansas road at Wellington is now completed.

The old Santa Fe depot has been abandoned and the trains now run into the Union depot in the southwest part of the city. One can now tane the Southern Kansas west of Wellington and ride with out change of cars into Wichita and other points along the main line. Ex. i Edward Keegan, of Philadelphia, in tended returning to the east this week. He Baid he came to Kansas to quit drinking, but his expectations were not realized.

Surely, a man must consider drunkenness a great curse that will come so far to free himself from it. And surely the man who will sell it to his fellow man and make him drunk is a curse. "Let him be 'anathema Levi McLaughlin has returned from his Comanche county trip and reports a pleasant time by the way. He says crops have been a failure and, as it seems to him, some of the people will haye to visit their friends this winter. Those that have stock, however, stand a better chance as the late rains have made good fall pasture.

He is quite enthusiastic over Natme's work, in the way of caves and other curiosities, in that county. J. C. Maiie, of the City Restaurant, has moved into the Ross Avenue Hotel, this week. Mr.

Mail has the reputa tion of setting a first-class table, and giving special attention to' the comfort of his guests. Now that he is in a large and well furnished house, we will be able to claim for Clearwater" a hotel second to none in the county. Mr. M. has the politeness that is the distinguishing characteristic of the Frenchman, so that the stranger will feel at home in his house.

Mrs. Maire, has a proper conception of the attention lady guests require, and such will not feel that they have been slighted. Mr. Smith, the owner of the house, has done our town a favor by securing such a couple as proprietors. Caldwell has mado a discovery.

The water in a well that had been out of use for some time was thought by the new tenant to taste queer. An investigation led to the discovery of a dead babe. Some human fiends thought they had buried their shame in that unused well hidden their sin from the eyes of men. If they have any conscience, I wonder how they feel! But we have known people to be guilty of just such sins and try to escape censure bf lying. Things are booming now, and conscience lias nothing to do with booms.

There will be a big boom in hell seme day and we suspect fair maidens and unllant men, some in the so-called church," nnd some out of it, indiscriminately will help to boom it.

The nominee of the Republican party for county clerk, Sylvanus Dunkin, is a native of Indiana, and is thirty-six years of age. He is one of the old settlers in tins county, having settled on a claim near Haysville in the Bpring of 1871.

Mr. Dunkin was compelled to earn money in order to prove up his claim and engaged in handling freight from Newton to Wichita. In March, 1872, he hauled on two wagons the entire outfit of the Eagle office from Newton to this place. The Eagle office was not a very extensive outfit at that time. After getting his farm improved, Mr.

Dunkin opened a store in Haysvilh where he remained until 1885 when he moved to this city and is now engaged in the grocery business. Syl. Dunkin is well known in this county and is universally regarded as a man of unimpeachable character. In speaking of him, his fellow citizens, irrespective of party, pay him the highest tribute that can be accorded to mortal man, by saying he is an honest man. If the people of Sodgwick county were to select a county clerk, and fitness alone were to be the test, there are few men in the county that could compare with Mr.

Dunliin. He is a good penman and an expert bookkeeper. He possesses all the qualifications essential to make a good, efficient county clerk. Every Republican in Sedgwick county who has the interest of bis party at heart should be glad of an opportunity to vote for Syl. Dunkin.

Every citizen in this county who believes that public office is a public trust can conscientiously vote to commit that trust to Sylvanus Dunkin. Possessing to a very great extent the good opinion of his fellow citizens of ail parties, and possessing in a marked degree the traits that. go, to make up a good citizenship there is little doubt of Dunkiu's election.
