Payne's opera house was filled on the rendition of the "Mikado" by the Andrews Opera Company, of Chicago. The company is fair and one or two of the performers have good voices, but the absence of a chorus, very materially changes the effect of the opera, although the audience seemed well pleased throughout. Considerable merriment was occasioned at the corner of the First National Bank on last Saturday afternoon. While auctioneer Trent was delivering a political prelude previous to disposing of some goods, a colored gentleman in the crowd picked him up on some point, and succeeded in getting the laugh on him nicely. Do not fail to read the mammoth advertisement of the Cincinnati clothing house on first page.

This is the leading clothing and gents' furnishing house in the city. They alwaye carry a complete stock of everything in their line and sell goods at the lowest living prices. They are liberal in the use of printer's ink and hence are successful in business. Married, at the residence of the bride's parents. on Tuesday, Oct.

26th, Mr. Frank W. Crans. traveling salesman for the Ridenour Baker grocery house, of Kansas City, and Miss Jessie Baily, of this city, Rev. Grimes officiating.

The bride is one of our most popular young ladies. THE ARGUS joins with the many friends in wishing them well. Geo. Foster, the Republican candidate for commissioner in the 3rd disdistrict, is a man who is popular and whose honesty and integrity is unquestioned. His general knowledge tits him for the position to which he aspires, and it is sincerely hoped that he will be endorsed next Tuesday by the full Republican vote of Montgomery county.

Messrs. Bonwell Uitts have a few words to say to the people of this city and vicinity in another column. These gentlemen have opened a new grocery store in the building recently occupied by Newberger. They have both had a large experience, their stock is new and fresh and they are selling them at low prices. They merit and will doubtless receive a liberal patronage.

The first number of the Cherryvale Republican under the management of A. L. Wilson, shows evidences of improvement both editorially and mechanically, besides a very healthy increase in advertising patronage. Mr. Wilson has had considerable experience in newspaper work, and will undoubtedly make the Republican a credit to Cherryvale, THE ARGUS cheerfully extends its best wishes for his success.

A painful accident happened at a sand bank on the river near Turner's old mill on last Friday. A number of persons and teams were engaged in hauling sand from the bank to Brewster's brick yard. where the brick is being manufactured for the new court house, when thy bank caved in on two boys who chanced to be under it at the time, entirely covering one of them, and almost covering the other. They were immediately rescued, when it was discovered that the one who was completely covered, and whose name 18 James Cannon, had his collar bone broken in two places, besides being otherwise injured. The other boy got off with a few slight bruises.

'The injuries of both are very painful, but not dangerous. A I A 8 Mail EDITOR.

W. R. The Woman's Suffrage convention held in this city on Wednesday and Thursday of this week was a decided success in every particular. Miss Susan B. Anthony, Mrs.

Elizabeth Lile Saxon and Mrs. Clara B. Colby, all well known champions of this cause, were in attendance and made speeches each day. At all the meetings the opera house was crowded and the whole of the audience seemed to enter into the spirit of the meetings, giving the ladies a cordial reception whenever they appeared on the stage. Mrs.

Colby and Mrs Saxon are eloquent, forcible and interesting speakers, and their arguments in behalf of the rights of women were all presented fairly and fearlessly, and in a manner which could not but impress their hearers with at least the sincerity of the speakers. Miss Anthony is not so eloquent and forcible a speaker as the other ladies, but her. remarks were quietly spoken and to the point. Whether many converts have been made in this city yet remains to be seen, but one thing is certain, and that is, a great deal of discussion and argument has been caused by the speeches of these eminent and widely known ladies. Disastrous Fire.

Woman's Suffrage. About seven o'clock on Monday morning livery barn on avenue which was occupied by Scranton Fairleigh was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was at once given but before the firemen could be of any use the destructive flames had got beyond control and in less than ten minutes from the time the fire was discovered the building fell, so rapidly did it burn. The upper story was filled with hay and baled straw, and as it was all very dry it could not have burned any faster. From what can be learned, no one in the stable at the time the fire was discovered, and the origin is unknown.

Mr. Stentz, who rents the stable on the next lot was the first to discover the conflagration, and after giving the alarm, did at once all that he could to save the horses, there being about twenty in barn. J. B. Zeigler's mare was unfastened, and ran out, as did one or two others, but the balance were too far surrounded by fire to be fine mare for which a few weeks before saved, and were burned.

Burnham's he paid $500. was destroyed with the rest. E. L. Foster lost a buggy and harness valued at $300, M.

J. Paul lost his big commercial buggy and Grant Leggett lost a buggy worth $100. Dr. O'Rear lost his horse. as did Wm.

Dunkin. The building wag worth about $2.500, and was owned by Henry Dodd. It was insured for $1,200. Mr. mare and Messrs, Fairleigh Burnham had $250 insurance, on his had about $1.200 insurance on their property.

This is not near anything of its actual value, and consequently their loss is considerable. The fire company did some good work but the building was too far gone for any good to be done except to the adjoining houses. The roof of the Avenue house took fire several times, but it was extinguished before any damage was done. Messrs. Scranton Fairleigh have the sympathy of the entire community in their severe misfortune.

On Thursday evening, the 14ih inst. at 6 p. Mr. Theodore Towles and Miss Hettie Shile, of Fawn Creek township, were united in the holy state of matrimony by Rev. L.

J. Dyke, pastor of the Baptist church at Coffeyville. After the ceremony was completed, the happy couple, now husband and wife, remained upon the floor to receive the congratulations of the select number of guests. The bride was neatly dressed and needed no ornaments to enhance her beauty. Miss Ollie Jones anted as bridesmaid, and Mr.

W. N. Banks acted as groomsman. Miss Jones was beautifully dressed, and wore no ornaments except a bouquet of flowers and a white ribbon tied in a bow at her throat. After the congratulations were over all retired to the dining room, where justice was done to a bountiful supper, after which a pleasant evening was spent.

Mrs. Towles will be sadly missed by her large circle of friends, also in the Sabbath school where she was a successful teacher. The groom, Mr. Towles, is a gentleman of fine social attainments, and noted for his courteous attention to all. The best wishes of many friends accompany Mr.

and Mrs. Towles as they begin so happily the journey of life. May they ever be prosperous and remain as happy as they were on that memorable evening. JAYHAWK. Administrator's Notice.
