A great many poople of Marion were coming by rail and every available team was engaged several days ahead. Thcro would also have boon many here from Abilcno and intermediate points. Charles Schambrown, a farmer living near hero, who is a life-long Catholic was converted at tho camp meeting which closed hero this week, and joinod the Evangelical church.

While in Marion the other day, wo met a pleasant gentleman whose name we can't recall, who lives on Mud creek, or, as our elegant friend, Mr. J. E. Hoch would say, the "upper Luti," who said that it would not be long un-till all the people in his part of the county would do their trading in Lincolnville. He lives eleven miles from and seven from Lincolnville, and it will therefore be much more convenient for people in bis neighborhood to tride and get their mail at the latter pi, e.

William Mr. Travel had always been associ. ated with the turf, but rather at an owner of race-track property than as a horse-owner, lie was formerly one of the owners of the Saratoga race-track, and had much to do with the succeii of that Institution. Mr. Travers, how ever, owed his wide celebrity rather to his wit than to any other quality.

The frood thing that lie said during hit ifu would till a book, and it would be a very entertaining book, too. His defect of speech, which is woll known, added much to the effectiveness of his utterances. When he had been In New York a short time an old Baltimore acquaintance met him la the Street and suldi "Why, Bill, you stutter worse now than you did in Baltimore." "H-h-have to," answered Mr. Trar rs, laconically! "b-b-b-blgger city," When he was associated with the Saratoga race-track be had a little tilt with John Morrlssoy, who thought ha was a fine judge of a horse. Mr.

Trsv. rs asked the ex-pugilist if anew horse he had just purchased was a racer. "Yes," answered Morrlssey, "he It. Vill you bet on hlin?" "Y-y-yos," answered Mr. Travers: Til b-b-bot on him." "HowP" asked Morrlssey.

"I'll o-o-c-copper him," was tht an wer. At the time of his death Mr. Travers was president of the Villa Site Improvement Comnany, which owns Jerome Park and leases it to the racing association. Twenty years ago Mr. Travers, in company with John Hunter, owned the then famous racehorse Kentucky, but this appears to havo been the only prominent horse that Mr.

Travers ever took stock in. Though a life-long Democrat and a member of the Manhattan? Club, Mr. Travers never took a active part in politics to got up an appetite for office. A prominent leader of one of the Democratic factions once asked Theodore Moss, who was one of Mr. Travers' most Intimate friends, to go to him and ask him whether he would become a candidate for the mayoralty.

Mr. Travers heard Mr. Moss patiently, and thon, looking at him reproachfully, he said: "Th-th-theod-d-dore, I've had the rep-p-putation of b-b-bein an honest m-man for f-f-fifty years. I d-d-d-don't want to wake up and r-r-r-read la the p-p-p-papers that I am a s-s-s-scoun-arel." Personally Mr. Travers was probably the most popular man in New York.

His genial good nature, ready wit, and thorough ability to appreciate a joke on himself endeared him to all. A well-known instance of the latter quality is the parrot story. Mr. Travers was walking with several friends when they saw a man with a parrot, apparently for sale. Mr.

Travers told his friends to prepare for fun, and. THE -OF nun IE STATE BF 1 HHK 1U1I It has Good Schools and Good Churches, and is settled by a Thrifty, Prosperous and Intelligent People.

The south wall of Dr. Rogers build, ing In Marion, is being taken down preparatory to rebuilding it. It was so cracked in sealing that it was in danger of falling.

Lincoliiville needs a number of dwelling houses that can be rented or sold. Huying or selling lots will never make a town, unless business and dwelling houses are built upon them. S. W. Buckley has traded for the Elgin House barber shop, and will move it to Lincolville in a short time.

Mr. Diekerson has his cattle on excellent pasture aiuf says he has ample feed on hand to carry them through. The cattlo killed by a Rock Island train 1 nst week, belonging to J. Chorn, were promptly and satisfactorily settled for by the company.

Tho Wulton Independent says that congressman Peters reports that crops are better in Kansas than in any state between here and Chicago. Peters is a judge of law, a fair to middling congressman and ho ought to be a judge of crops.

Norton Pope, of the enterprising firm of Williams Pope, live stock shippers, informs us that cattle in this vicinity are looking extremly well, in fact better than in former years at this season. There will probably bo quite a number fed and shipped from here this winter. G. J. Moultonj of Gale township, recently threshed twenty-fivo aerns of onts that average fifty bushels to the acre, lie also has twenty-fivo acres of corn that will yield at leas1, forty bushels to the acre.

It was planted early and was well advanced before the hot weather set in.

Everybody is cordially invited to be present and no stockman or farmer can afford to stay away.

TiiE announcement of the location of the Burton Stock Car works at Wichita is an important one to tho New West. It guarantees to our cattlemen plenty of these improved stock cars in the future which means fresher cattlo and better beef upon our markets. It was hoped that Kansas City would be chosen as tho location instead of her aspiring western rival, but Wichita out bid her taking $200,000 in stock of the Company and donating for the location of tho plant 75 acres of land. $85,000 of this money has already been paid and active preparations are being made to build the shops as fast as possible. With the shops of these cars right i iho midst of tho cattle growing coui -of the west, we may look for a rev', lion in the transportation of cattle.

And it can't come too soon. Tho old method is not only cruel but a losing one as many a valuable bullock is tramped to death while enroute to market in the old fashioned stock cars.

d. LUMBER CQMPMH DEALERS IN TDK! Tfilffn ii ii ii ii rz ii i There are several branches of business that are badly needed here, and which we must have in order to secure the trade of the country that is naturally tributary to it. We need a furniture store and a cabinent shop, a butcher and a baker, a hotel, a bank and a number of active enterprising citizens, who will build bouses and engage in business. Lincolnville oilers splendid inducements to those seeking homes, business and investment, and everybody Is invited to call and investigate for themselves. The match game of ball, which was to take place here last Friday, between the Marion and Lincolnville clubs, did not come off.

Our boys were on the grounds in battle array, but the club from the city on the "lower Luta" failed to put in an appearance. The knowing ones assign two reasons for tfie Marion boys allowing the game to go by default. One, that they were afraid to "cross bats" with the champions of the county, the other, that the Emporia club played a match game the same day. We know nothing about the matter, and leave it to those to decide who are posted. Tiie typographical work on tho Star for the lust two weeks has been done by George and Charles Miller, of the Peabody Graphic force, who two years ago had no knowledge of the printers art and did not know a shooting stick from a galley.

Not a line of type was set on the paper until nine o'clock Friday morning and these two boys set up the type made up the forms, did the press work and had the papers ready for the mail in little less than twelve hours. We know that there is not two' boys in the state of similar ago and experience who could do the same amount of work equally as well in less than twice the time. The Evangelical Camp Meeting. The camp meeting hich closed here Tuesday wus, in all things considered successful and interesting. A great many were presont Saturday from distant points und bad it not been for the heavy rain that commenced falling in the morning und continuing all day, tho attendance Sunday would have reached into the thousands.

During tho rain those that remained on the camp ground kept in good spirits and with the ministers spent most of the day in devotional exercises. Sunday evening services were conducted by Rev, Voght, and Monday and Tuesday successful and profitable days, several persons being converted mado steps of advancement in their professions. This was the second camp meeting held nere, and had it not been for the weather It would have been largely attended und very successful. A Son Of a Veteran. County Attorney Dean is a true blue Republican as well as Son of a Veteran, ana wo suspect that his father was a brave soldier, and J.

8. is a chip of the old block. Peabody Gazette. The sire of Marion county's nimble prosecutor was a brave and an old a very old soldier. Ho was a member of an organization called tho "National Guard of Ohio," a home guard outfit that was not to leave the state except in the event of an invasion by an enemy.

The which comprise a dozen or more regiments, was finally mustered into tho scrvico of tho United States for ninety days and sent to tho front to relieve the Ohio regiments which had earned a veteran furlough. During the long, tedious and dangerous period of their sprvico they were subjected to many hardships and privation s. And it is a well authenticated fact that these patriotic gentlemen were compelled to subsist for days and weeks without gingerbread or butter. Truly Mr. Dean lather was a bold and battle scared veteran; therefore It is right and proper that his brilliant and beautiful boy should estrange his friends, blast his prospects and stultify himself reuprally by his fierce und li-adviacd light upon Judge Djstcr.

approaching the man, thus accosted him: "C-e-c-can th-that p-p-p-parrot t-t-talk?" Well," said the man, "if he couldn't talk any better than you I'd wring his neck." "C-come on, b-b-boys," exclaimed Mr. Travers; "this f-f-fun is p-p-post-poned." He was equally ready to extricate himself from an unpleasant position, however. On one occasion, at a great public dinner, Mr. A. T.

Stewart was called on for a speech. Mr. Travers and a party of friends continued laughing and talking after tho great merchant was on his feet The chairman rapped loudly for order, when Mr. Travers, looking around and seeing Mr. Stewart and bearing the rapping, exclaimed in a shrill voice: "C- c-cash!" Hundreds of stories of Mr.

Travers' ready wit are well known, but ho was seldom severe on others. He assisted a large number of young men to start in business, and enabled several of the best known men in Wall street to lay the foundations of their prosperity. New York Times. When young men enroll their names for membership at the rooms of the Christian Association here in Boston they also make an entry, often in abbreviated form, of the religious denomination to which they belong. Not long ago a sober-minded man added "Auth." to his autograph to define his ecclesiastical connection.

"Isn't that a new denomination, sirP" Inquired the clerk. The man looked at him in great surprise and said: "What, you never hoard of that? Why, that stands for Authodox!" It is to bo presumed that the good brother's creed was more orthodox than his spelling. Boston Congregationalism The Art of Pleasing. "Why is Slookerson such a social success and is invited everywhere?" asked Bowkerson of Jowkerson yesterday. "Tho answer is easy," replied Jowkerson.

"Slookerson confided his secret to me with instructions to convey it to none but worthy chaps looking for legitimate advancement. He reads everything that be can lay his hands on likely to be pleasant, and cultivates both largo and small talk. He talks to none longer than he is certain that he Is affording interest. Tho moment Interest lags he goes. His visits are short and animated, and he makes for home tho instant that hie fund of material shows signs of running out.

Ho is one of tho earliest to leave at parties. He seeks to please, and distributes his attentions among young and old, thus making all like him, and when he goes all are sorry that they did not have a longer experience with him. When he goes to see his best girl she's worth $100,000, and he has only his salary he is only long enough in her company to make nor wish that an hour could be spun out Into a week. Her father regards him as a model of good hours, and smiles every time he soos him cross the threshold. He economizes himself, in fact.

He isn't lavish of his gifts of sociability or culture, but makes himself appreciated by knowing when to go early in the gamo. Everybody wishes he would stay longer, and so when he returns he is gladly welcomed." "Would that there wine more Slookersons!" groaned old man Howkerson, whoso gas bill has made him tired ever since bis daughter Emily began to bo courted by young MowKorsnu. -IliiJfaln Courier.
