The Editor Tribune While the board of trade in our town is striving with might and main to enlist railroads and other enterprises to make our town a point, and spending the time and money of its members for us, it seems as if we still need more workers, or in other words, we need a citizens organization.

For this reason we think the cit izens should organize in a regular way with regular officers havin power to act with or in the same direction as the board of trade, and should have committees to see visitors who come here, shnro tlipm th( a.lvanta 'cs of town and vicinity, cialiy, morally, intellectually. ana nnanciany, ana 11 necessary uaie rrtwor tn f.fTcr a bonus of monev or Dron- erty when no other means will induce investment, proviuea 01 coarse mat money so offered would be laid out for the benefit of the whole comunity.

left fr Arciiisoa on Saturday and will stay with her daughter there for a few weeks. Our Florence corspondent this week gives strong reasons for an improvement organization in that town. The will of the late S. S. Bteiram of Peabody was on Friday admitted to Probate, with Jacob Weidlein as executor.

'Aid will b3 solicited in Kansas and Missouri for the i1 titute people of Texas, who have hact no rain for eleven months. Mr. J. J. Funk of Peabody was in town on Thursday and of course came up to discuss ways and means with his party organ.

Mr. W. II. Dudley and family returned on Thursday morning from Wiscon sin. Mr.

Dudley feels mucii recuperated by his trip. Mr. Tom Potter, of Peabody, was in the metropolis on Wednesday and Thursday, contracting for his winter's supply of corn. Mr. Kqhler's return was signalized by the reappearance of the band on our streets on Tuesday evening, much to the delight of everyone.

We understand that Messrs. Cuenod Baillod the jewelers, of Florence, will soon move into their new quarters on the west side of Main street. The Register' suggestion about starting a fire brigade is a good one. Let us have a company by all means and be in readiness for the waterworks. Messrs.

B. W. and T. A. Carter have bought Mr.

Bown's large stone store on the south side of Main street and will put in a large -stock of hardware of all kinds as soon as possible. Capt. Morrison has mastered his malady and is again on the streets with his genial sociality and fund of anecdote. This will be pleasant news to his many friends throughout the Country. Mr.

W. N. Glover, well known in Marion, has just purchased A. R. Hill's blacksmith's shop on west Main street, and ritnn)1 to his old trade.

"Billy" in tends putting up a stone buildiag at no very distant date. It is stated on good authority- that Marion is shortly to have a new citizen of note, no less than a legal luminary from Florence, who intends to move his fe.milv.to the metropolis. This will, we understand, give us another' candidate for the office of Probat judge. Come on, the more the merrier. BEST keep in stock the We are reliably informed that a new-paper is to be started in Peabody.

This Journalistic venture will have brains and money at the back of it, will independant in politics, and liberal in religion. We hardly think there is room in Peabody for three papers and in the straggle for' existance the fittest will survive, and the hindmost will succumb to the inevitable. We are not at liberty to name the projectors of this enterprise but from what w.e khow of them we art-tieipatea g-ieat success for them. Another banking house will be started in a short time in Peabody by Scott Bros, Findley, Scott Bros, have been conducting a real estate and loan business in Peabody for years and a few months ao, in connection Findlay, established a bank at Ninnescah, Kingman Co. These gentleman are among the most substantial citizens of Marion county and possess all the qualities uec-essary to success.

Peabody will have four banks, enough, we sqould think to transact all the business in that community without over taxing the energies of their proprietors. Friday morning the horse attached to David Wheeler's delivery wagon was peacefully slumbering in front of the Star grocery, when for some occult cause, probably with the intent of providing a private circus for the Tribuxe staff and visitors) it suddenly awoke from it3 dreams and started at a high rate of speed down the street. Turning sharply on two wheels, it dashed into the sidewalk in front of the Tkibtjnb office, run ing into a saddle horse, which barely escaped serious injury from violent contact with the wagon. At this point the frolicsome animal ran furiously across the street and struck the sidewalk in front of Jack Costello's store, causing a panic among the habitues of that famous resort, thence, describing a parabolic cuive and several isosceles triangles, with no abatement of its terrific speed, it suddenly brought its exciting and eccentric race to an end on top of Dr. Rogers fence, where it stood as docile as Mary's little lamb.

Although there was intense excitement and many narrow escapes during the circus, nobody was hurt and no serious damage done to horse or wagon. When the citizens of Peabody become tired of carving imaginary "trunk lines" on dry goods boxes and discussing measures to overcome hypothetical Santa Fe schemes, they devote their lagging energies to the pleasing and intellectual task of kite flying. Immense kites are made, with hideous caricatures of the Santa Fe road roughly-painted upon them, and sent flying heavenward to the intense delight and admiration of the whole population. It may be, however, that what appears to an outsider as a little innocent amusement is a systematic effort on the part of the Peabody people to survey a trunk line to the moon through the medium of their enormous kites. In fact, on second thought, we incline to this opinion, for we cannot be lieve that so active and energetic a people would give so much attention to a frivolons amusement if there was not some scheme back of it to promote their own interest.

Be that as it may, we can assure our readers that whatever their object may be in their devotion to this new industry, it is not a "scheme of the Santa Fe." NEXT THINS TO I T.

Institute Notes, from onr Special Correspondent. The Editor Tribune: W. B. Zercher was absent one day this week, cause unknown. Prof.

Taylor visited us this week, for the purpose of introducing Charts to aid in teaching Physiology, also Miss Brigham introducing the Western School Journal. Rev. C. E. Focte, Judge Brockett and many others visited us last week.

A dispute arose in the Book Keeping class about the following, "A man paid his taxes of $12 on his farm, how should he enter it on his books?" some claimed it should go in Expense Ac'ct, others in Real Estate, answer unsettled. According to Superintendent's account there only are 24 schools that not. yet provided with teachers. They mnst have been earlier than common this year. Some will be under the painful necessity of canvassing another county, for schools.

There are 154 attending the Normal: about 35 holding unexpired certificates, are not attending, and if 125 pass the examination it will make a total of 160 teachers. There are not over 130 schools in the county. What will become of the rest of the teachers Echo answers what. "Ix-STI-TOOT-ER." From another Correspondent. The number attending, the Institute has increased to 153.

All the teachers are working hard both in the Institute and at home, a good many Teachers have already been engaged to teach schools in the county' Prof. W. S. Carver is teaching a very interesting class in Penmanship. He understands his business and has made a success so far.

The class in Book Keeping is very much divided upon the question of en tering $12, taxes paid upon their ledger. The class in Constitution has been dis cussing tne i-resiaenuai succession, 11 has not been decided which one of the class is to be president in case of a vacancy. The Institute will close August 2oth. The Marion Co. Teachers Association will be held Aug.

5Gth. The Teachers examination will be held Aug. 27th. and 2Sth, In reference to the Independent party the instructor cave as his authority a leading Greenback paper, of Kansas, published at Louisburg Miami County, and that that paper said in its last July number that the principle doctrine of this independent party is "Opposition to monopolies," which is certainly correct. Owing to the similarity of the two par ties in Waahineton's time, to the two leading parties of to-day, the class agreed that if Washington was living to-day, he would 'be a republican.

And in those classes in which time Was had for discussion, it was also agreed that If Jef-fnmnn nrfni living, he would be a democrat. The visitor claimed that the Greenback party nominated (instead of indors ed) John A. Anderson of the n.lh district, and also intimated if Wash ington was living to-day that he might be a Greenbacker. Surely George "nnirht to bo here to defend himself against personal attacks." Valb. It is thought best to have the special meeting of the Baptist church at 2:30 p.

Tofcwwe, Onmft, tuasav First Door East of Costello's More, I e-5 3 8 i 3 2 in Bane-Ball Galore. Notes by a Special Correspondent. The great base-ball match, Marion vs Hope, has been -won and lost and onr home team have gathered more "kudos" unto themselves. A large crowd of partisans of loth sides were on the ground and great was the cheering when any especial good play was witnessed. The tass'L fell in favor of the Hoj nin, and as their rhuee they took the field.

At the close of the first inning the score tood two and tw.x The game continued thus close until the first half of the 7ih innin-jr, when the daisies "Caught on" (so to speak to the pitch of the HojMj'sand batted him out the box. If the score is any criterion, the Hope boys were unable to bat the home pitcher and siici-eeded admirably in fanning the hot air of the afternoon. In the 7th, Sth and innings Marion scored 12 times, while after the 2nd the Hope boys received a pnecession of goose eggs, and the score at the finish stood 14 to 3 in favor of Marion. Our home battery are deserving of especial mention and Mr. Barnes, our sure first baseman crowned himself with clorv.

The defeat of the Hope team is one to be proud of, and our boys can congratulate themselves on thtir victory. The Ho team ranks among the best in this section of the country, arid while thev were not suc cessful in this crossing of bats, they play ed an excellpnt game. We hope soon to chronicle the result of a return match as we do not think the Hope good players as they are, will be satkfed to let matters in ftalu quo. They have proved them selves good pla3'ers and are jolly good fellows who will always receive a hearty welcome whenever they come to Marion. Baptist Church.

We have received the following com munication from the Rev. M. DeMott anent the organization of the Baptist church. Pursuant to previous notice, a large number of persons gathered in the Presbyterian church in Marion Aug. 12 at 5.30 P.

M. to discuss the propriety of organizing a Baptist Church. Devotional exercises were lead by Elder DeMott of Florence, Elder Heritage was chosen as moderator. Elder DeMott was chosen clerk, and about 20 names were enrolled for membership The meeting after requesting the min isters present to act as a council of rec ognition adjourned to meet again at 8 o' clock P. M.

The council consisting of the following, Filler's Fulton ofMcPherson. Prophet of McPherson, Lorett of Newton, AVare-ham of Walton, Barbee of Raymond, Heritage of Peabody, and DeMott of Florence," organized by choosing Elder Heritage of Peabody, moderator and ElderJ DeMott of Florence as clerk. Elder Barbee read the articles of faith, which were adopted, and the right hand fellowship was extended t-y him. Elder Prophit offered prayer. Elder Heritage delivered the charge to the new church and they were recognized as regularly constituted.

They voted to incorporate; elected Trustees and a temporary clerk and instructed him to write and forward to the association a request for membership in the Central Baptist The meeting was a pleasant one and the kindness of the Pres byterian church In granting the use of their church, and of Rev. M. Bright fos his courtesy and presence, will long be remembered. Elder Wareham deserves credit for the shcccss- of the movement and will not soon be forgotten. There are per haps more than thirty persons yet to come in and swell the little band, who have been waiting for such an oppor tunity as this.

There seems to be a wide field and fair promises before the new organization. M.D. Building and Rumors of Building.

We have now four new stores nearmg completion, two more for which the cellar is now being dug, another, L.

Strom's, for which the ground has been cleared and part of the rock hauled, four more on the north side of Main street, for which plans have been prepared, and we hear rumors of at least three more buildings going up on the south side during the coming fall and spring. Thus does Marion grow with a vim characteristic of her energetic citizens, thus tloes the aporoach of the great Rock Island beget enterprise worthy of such a progressive community. PeabodT Annual School Mcctjnsj. The annual school meeting was held at the school house last Thursday afternoon, and largely attended, more interest being manifested, then for many years past. Quite a spirited contest took place in the election of a director, the names of Messrs.

Fanning, Walker, Osborne Bechtel and Buck being presented. A number of ballots were taken, resulting in the election of Dr. Buck, who succeeds Mr. Osborne. A tax of ten mills was levied for school purposas the ensuing year, and one of five mills for incidentals.

The half day system was discussed, to considerable extent and it was finally decided to leave the matter to the dis cretion of the board. Programme of Teacher's Association to be Held at Marion, Tuesday, Aug. 2Gth. Opening Song Choir. Prayer by M.

and Mrs. Weems accompanied their visitors home. As the Court House bell clanged out on Wednesday night, for the purpose of calling a meeting together, we saw, amongst those who did not know of the meeting, many anxious faces looking for signs of fire, and heard many anxious queries as to what chance there was for subduing anything of the kind without waterworks. The surveying the Rock Island route are at work within three miles of town and will make Marion their headquarters until their labors are completed in this part of the county. All appearances indicate the speedy construction of the road, and its coming will bring increased prosperity this city and make it one of tqe most important commercial centres in Kansas.
