JL John Intfen has the Smith stock of groceries nicely arranged, and is doing a good business. AndyMcFadden (colored) made a fine speech on the street corner last night on the political situation. It looks now as if there would be another three cornered fight. Gilbert. Independent; Ifersey, Republican; Waggener, Democratic-.

John Cain, instead of trying to break his' neck in getting a seat at Apollo Hall last night, took his two little children to see Uncle Tom's Cabin. Wm. D. Ham informed us that he will tear down his present building and during the summer erect a shoe factory and remove his machinery into it. Although nearly all races, kindreds and tongues of earth are represented in the Kansas Penitentiary there is not a single Jew.

This speaks well for these people. The "fuzz" stood up endways on some of the boys last night when they went to the Apollo Hall and were refused admittance. Their breath had the odor of brimstone as they took their departure, There is one place at least in Kansas where prohibition prohibits. That spot is the Kansas Penitentiary. The striped temperance society is a success.

The old bums who join their ranks soon reform, so far as drinking is concerned. Can you save me a trip over the river? was the question asked by a gentlemen who stepped into -Ayres Bros, lunch house yesterday. On being asked what he meant he said that he understood that that was the way to call for beer in Atchison. He was informed that they did not run a joint. There was a great deal of kicking because tickets were issued to attendants at Apollo Hall last night.

We don't see why this was not the best 1 thing to do. Had there not been something of this kind done politicians would have gathered in the hall four deep and it would have been impossible to transact any business. Dr. D. T.

Brown, a prominent physician of Nortonville, Kansas, who had been visiting in Atchison for a day or two evening went to the Union depot and asked for a ticket to Nortonville. By mistake the agent gave him a ticket for Effingham. The doctor took this ticket, and, without noticing the mistake, got on the Santa Fe train at 9:30. When the conductor came to take up the tickets, about a mile and a half west of this city, the doctor presented his ticket. The conductor informed him that it was not good on that train and demanded that he pay his fare or get off.

The doctor said he had no money with him, but would pay him as soon as the train arrived at Isortonville. This the conductor refused to accept, and told him he must get off. He refused to do so. The train was then stopped and he was thrown off, falling on his hip and sustaining painful injuries. He lay beside the track in a helpless condition for about a half an hour, when he was found by some parties passing, who picked him up and took him to the Byram hotel, where he now lies in a critical condition.

The foregoing is a statement of the case as given by the Champion. There seems, however, another side to the story. Brown, it is alleged by the railroad men, was a little off his base, and made the mistake himself in getting his ticket. When he got on the train he was accompanied by a couple of friends who offered to loan him the money to pay his fare, but he would not accept the money. Brown spent the night at the Byram hotel, and got up this morning before breakfast and took his departure.

As to his being dangerously injured, that was a mistake, as he could walk this morning without any perceptible difficulty. The conductor must obey his orders, and pat people off trains when they do not pay their fares. Dr. Brown will in the future read his ticket before paying for the same. Miller got the chicken.

Ilersey's name Is Ell. He got there. Who will be Judge Stanley Matthews' successor? Billy Anderson's name is Dennis. He failed to connect. Jake Starr got his name on the Eli register last night.

Joe this afternoon upon insurance business. Mrs. A. S. Bent, who has been sick for the past winter, is getting better.

G. C. Porter arrived in Atchison yesterday and will take charge of John N. Reynolds' Ilorton paper. Did Billy Anderson have his speech prepared also last night, so that in case of nomination he could bring it out and read it.

B. F. Talbott and Samuel Wood-worth received the nominations last night at the convention for Justice of the Peace. Don't think to reason with a Bee about his sting. Globe.

The most sensible thing is to let it alone entirely. Marshall Park in their sash and door factory give employment to some twelve men, and report trade in their line as picking up. Mr. Fusaleman, the man who had a portion of his hand torn off at Marshall Park's factory a few days ago, is lying at home dangerously ill. P.

Waggener's friends are to-day jubilant. The say, "We've got 'em now." Don't be too certain, my beloved; that is the way Billy Anderson talked yesterday. Tony Ileinz's store of West Atchison was not broken into as at first supposed, but was entered by the door, the intruder having a key of his own. Certain parties are suspected. It looked as if Mr.

Ilersey was expecting the nomination last night. He had his speech all prepared, and when nominated drew out the prepared document and began to read it. Mr. Clark, the rustling sewing machine agent, to-day sold a beautiful Domestic machine to Mr. Weber.

The Domestic is a first class machine, and its Atchison agent is first class also. In the near future there promises to be a reorganization of the Republican party in this Congressional District, leaving out the. political fossils that have run the party for a quarter of a century. D. II.

Luther Challiss is putting a new front to one of his small buildings corner of Commercial and Eighth. Luther will, one of these days, tear away these small structures and erect in their stead a brick or stone structure that will be a lasting monument to his name.

Raymond is no slouch on a speech, as was demonstrated at the assembly of the "Harmony and Peace" club last night, otherwise known as the Republican city convention.

Colorado, now brings out a monstrosity in the shape of a child three feet high, weighing forty pounds, and a compound of human, bear and ehicken. Its head is" like that of a bear, but its eyes those of a human, and its ears were a combination of liuman and bear, as were its mouth and chin. There was a full growth of soft hair over the face, head and neck. In place of arms it had feathered wings.

The mother of this monstrosity, ft is said, loves it dearly, and will not permit it to be exhibited. Lucas Carle an aged man of 64 years, was cruelly whipped by White Caps at Independence, last night. When near his home he was seized by a half dozen cappers, thrown upon his back, a gag slipped into his mouth, and a heavy bandage placed over his eyes. He was then led 200 yards from his house, tied hand and foot, and his clothing stripped from his body. Despite his pleadings, in a nude condition, Corlew was placed face down on a pile of fence rails, a man at his head and one at his feet holding him fast.

Besides the two men who held him there were ten others. Each of the ten, with a keen, long blacksnake whip, deliberately and with fiendish delight administered fifteen lashes on the bare skin of the aged farmer. Blood came at almost every stroke.
