Soon the throng of people will he wending their way to anil from' the fair grounds. Wichita and Sedgwick Couutv cun boast of the best and fast est milo speed ring in the West. The long-nocked trotters and runners have all ready begin to come in, and it is evident that many records will bo broken on our track this fall. ARROW TIPS. A vacant lot dudes.

A man may be no sport, hut when he bets he is no better. HE WAS BORN TO LATE. John L. Sullivan was born 3,000 yonrs too late, said Edward Cronor, at the Southern yesterday. Of course If he lmd como into this world at that ronioto period he would not be alive to-day, but there are people who could not bocome reconciled to Johns absence without much difficulty.

Had Jobn been the contemporary of Perseus of Achilles the Greeks would have defied him, and groat men would have sot lip nights to write groat lines about him. He might have had a stellar constellation named after him instead of being forced to content himself with seeing his name carved upon the stern of an occasional canal boat, or a blear-eyed bull-dog respond to it. When clubs were trumps men like John L. bocame kings, and had their busts in the cupitol instead of a subcellar saloon. But David, the sweet singer of Israel, inauguiatod a now era in which brain is boss.

Goliath, of Gath, was much bigger than our John. Ho was five feet taller and put up accordingly. He traveled exclusively on his shape, and for forty days bluffed a whole army. Then David went forth to see about it. David was not very big and had never taken boxing lessons nor had his general health certified to by a physician who was figuring to get a little advertising without fracturing the medical code of ethics.

But he had a sling in his hip pocket. The sling was to David what the six-shooter was to the erstwhile Jesse of the tribe of James. David loaded his ling with rock, slang it, and Col. Goliath was knocked over the ropes in the first round. That wound up the undisputed rule of the big uns.

The lay of their destiny was over, and the star of their fate had crawled down to the leyel of other people. The six-shooter makes nil men equally tall." Globe-Democrat. AN ESSAY ON MAN. Man that Is born of woman Is tooth-, less and ball liondod. I He l'Uoth up In tho morning and flourishoth llko a Kansas sunflower un-' til tho undertaker puts him in an ice box.

Ho gooth forth to tho nominating convention warbling like a lark, and is knocked out In one round and seven seconds. Tho banister of politics is full of splinters and bo slideth down it with considerable rapidity. In tho midst of lifo bn is in dobt, and the tax-eolloctor pursuetli him where-evor he gooth. In tho gentlo soring he putlcth on his summer clothes, and a blizzard striketli him far away from home, and with woo and rhoumatism. Ao walkoth forth in tho bright sunlight to absorb tho ozone, and mocteth a boot-legger loaded with bust-head.

Ho returncth at eventide and mocteth a whcolbarrow in his path, and the wheelbarrow riseth up and smitheth him to the earth, and falleth upon him and runneth one of its legs into his oar. Ho layctli up riches in the bank and the president speculateth in margins and then gocth to Canada for his health, In tho autumn he putteth on his winter trousers, and a wasp that abideth within them filleth him with intense excitement. He starteth down-cellar with an oleander, and goeth first hastily, and the oleander commeth after him and sit-teth upon him. He sitteth up all night to gethcr news from the prize-fight and iindeth tli at he betteth wrong. He buyeth a watch-dog, and when lie cometh home late from the lodge the watch-dog treetli him and sitteth beneath him until rosy morn.

He gocth to the races and betteth his money on the brown mare, and the judges decide in favor of the bay gelding with the blaze face. MISCELLANEOUS.

Quite a number of foreign yachts are likely to bo in Chicago at the time of the world's fair. Robert S. McCormick, representative of the exposition in' England, makes announcement to that effect.

All depends on how favorable are the faeilitics for getting through the Canadian canals and for safe anchorage in Chicago. At his request full particulars on these points will be furnished. Rotting tree stumps may be easily removed in this way: With a one-and-a-quarter inch auger bore a hole In the center of the stump about eighteen inches deep, and put In twenty ounces of saltpeter, fill the hole with water, and plug It tight. In the spring take out the plug, pour into the hole a halfpint of crude petroleum, and set it on fire. The stump will burn and smolder to the end of the roots, leaving nothing but ashes.

A short time ago, whilo the Northwestern Shingle association was in session, it was announced to that body that the Washington State world's fair building would require 837,000 shingles for its roof. Thereupon the association promptly instructed its secretary to buy that number of shingles and to donate them to the world's fair board for the state. The quarrymen, lumbermen and loggers of Washington have been equally generous, and almost ull the building material that is required has been donated. Daniel Potter, an old resident ol Gloucester, once called the attention of his guests to an old clock, a great favorite of his. He told his friends of his great attachment to this ancient time-piece, and said, in a voice full of emotion: Gentlemen, I have wound up that clock every night for more than forty years.

He had evidently made an impression on his visitors, when one guest, who had been carefully examining the clock, turned the tide of feeling evoked by the story by saying, dryly: Well, I always did think you were something of an idiotl Thats an eight-day clock! There is probably nowhere in the United States an odder people than the mountaineers in the remote districts of West Virginia. These people welcomed the civil war less from sympathy with secession than from a feeling that the disordered state of the country made it easier to manufacture moonshine whisky. The stone boat of the quarry is often substituted for a wheeled vehicle in drawing loads down the mountains, and the people are so unfamiliar with the amenities of civilized life as to be ignorant of many words in common use among better educated country folks. Mr. Rossers critter compny was the mountaineers phrase for Gen.

Rossers cavalry. A beautiful marble palace, much resembling the White House at Washington in its architectural effect, will, when completed, be the summer home of Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt and family at Newport The house has been three years in building, and the utmost secrecy regarding its plan and ornamentation has been observed.

The interior is of Numidian marble and Mexican onyx, and thirty skilled Frenchmen have been steadily working for three months carving it in the most elaborate manner. The magnificent entrance gates, modeled after the entrance of the palace of Versailles, butfarsur- Eassing them in magnificence, are two undredand fifty feet wide, sixteen feet high and weigh fifteen tons. The Puritan fathers were greatly addicted to smoking. Indeed, the practice became so common thut even these straight-laced observers of times and seasons actually smoked in church. This oustom soon caused very considerable annoyance, as the religious exercises were greatly disturbed by the clinking of flints and steels to light their pipes, and by the clouds of smoke in church.

Hence, in the year 1609, the colony passed this law: It is enacted that any person or persons that shall be found smoking of tobacco on the Lord's day, going to or coming from the meetings, within two miles of meeting-house, shall pay twelve pence for every such default Under this law several persons were actually fined, but the punishment failed to secure the carrying out of the arbitrary second portion of the enactment Two of a Kind. That was a good article you published that one of Wolseleys on Gen. Sherman. Glad you Uked it Im going to have another of the same kind next month. What is it to be? "An estimate of Shakespeare by my printer's devil.

The Cholera In Tins Valley is 1807. Wm. Matbewson, the original Buffalo Bill, is home from the Black Range in New Mexico. We had a pleasant talk with him yesterday, in which he told ns about killing three bears and a deer on September 4th sear his stage line station, This seemed to be an ordinary affair with William, wbo Las hunted and trapped and scouted from British Columbia to the Gulf of Mexico. We remarked: You people up in the Black Range arc not afraid of the spread of cholera? No; and Im not afraid of it down here.

Were you here when the cholera raged in 1867? Yes; I was freighting. My headquarters were where the Woodman residence now stands. I was also in the employ of the Interir Department making treaties with the Indians. The cholera came along in the latter part of August and it slaw the Indians by Hundreds of dead bodies lay along Little River bloated in the sun. I went among the tribes Wiebitas, Delawares and Otoes and scattered them to the higher ground, for their huddling together along the river was simply a a clean swine out.

I took a train of provisions to the troops on the Wash-ta; all along the trail we saw dead Indians, left by the tribes where they died, and tho bodies were especially numerous around springs and along creeks. The colored troopB suffered terribly at the fort. How did you manage to escape the plague?" "I bad a chest of medicine and I kept myself and my men in good condition, and clean externally. No grey back was carried in our outfit: and I would not allow a man to eat a particle of vegetables not even the wild goose plums so abundant along the valleys. A BAD DEATH.

The sudden death of Mr. C. A. Tracy casts a gloom over the vicinity in which he once lived. A mother and son, beside a host of friends, are left to mourn the loss of a devoted husband, a kind father and a good and upright, peaceful citizen.

Mr. Tracy was an employee of the Santa Fe railroad, as car-repair, and at the time of his death was fulfilling his duties in that position. It seems that a switch had been misplaced, and while Mr. Tracy was standing between two cars at work, the engine shoved a car, which took the wrong track and coming in contact with the unrepaired cars, caught him between them, causing instant death. The deceased was a Mason and had an insurance in that organization of $2,000.

The family, who reside on Oak street, will have his remains taken to Halstead for burial. The game of ball for the benefit of Bob" Shields, wbo was so unfortunate as to have bis thumb broken, will be played to-morrow. All admirers of the spost should go.

Ex-Governor Geo. T. Anthony, candidate for congressman-at large, will speak at Garfield hall next Monday evening. Mrs. Henry Shuker received many beautiful presents from her friends this week.

They were birthday tokens. Tbe cholera scare doesnt seem to have any effect on tbe authorities, as the alleys are filthy in some parts of the city. The dog-catchers wagon will soon cease its rumbling, and the canine species will again increase in our midst. Thomas F. McMechan, the whole-sould and genial lawyer, is up from the Territory to attend the U.

We wonder if he wasnt among those fellows whom Tillman Joy addressed, when they were going to drive Banty Tim from Spunky point You may resolute till the cows come home, But if one of you touches that boy, Hell wrestle his hash inhell to-night, Or my names not Tillman Joy. A CHOLERA CURE. Professor Schwenninger, of Munich, Bavaria, physician in ordinary to Prince Bismarck, says i The plague this year, follows the march of the great epidemics it attacks Europe by the north, not by the south.

It was bound thon to reach Hamburg, since tho authorities of Rnssta in Europe took no steps to stop it. The English officials in India took proper precautionary measures, There ought to be an international hygienic commission established. That is the way to kill cholera. It must be strangled out on the spot other measures are useless. In Hamburg about thirty thousand persons dwell in cellars and livo on fish.

An epidemic is inevitable and it is almost impossible to prevent it from running right through Germany. It is only in healthy places, clean towns and among the well-nourished that the malady will amount to little. In that case there may be ten or only one case, according to the size of population, but not tlmusauds as in Hamburg. If you become ill, drink as hot as ever you can, grog, camomile tea. no matter what, provided it is hot.

Then if your Jjmbs become cold plungo into a steaming hot hath. Should these produce no effect then put yourself in the hands of God, for those are the only remedies known to be efficient, The doctors can do nothing. But dont be afraid of cholera. Those only are afraid who live in dirty towns and who have not tried to ameliorate the condition of the poor, and having neglected to do what they ought to have done, they have prepared the way for epidemics. BUTTERFIELD BROS.

This enterprising pharmacutical firm have a splendid stock of drugs, proprietary medicines, perfumes and toilet articles, pictures and ornamental articles, and choice wines and liquors for medical purposes. Call at the West End Drug Store. We will hang together; ns the horse thief said to the rope. A West Wichita man talks so much tlmt even his wagon is tired. A bad cigar is like a small boy at school always trying to go out.

A soldier must be very sick indeed when he throws up fortifications. A railway collision is the most popular short stop in this country. When is a theater manager like a dog When ho lies about the house. When is our Salvation Army entitled to greatest admiration When the soldiers are asleep. it is not every bicyclist that can lower the record, but it is a poor bicycle that cannot lower the rider.

There are two things that go to fill up the uncertainties of life the bobtailed car and the bob-tailed flush. A ranch in Ford county is owned and managed by a woman. She is probably the cow belle of the west. It is said that Sullivan was very fond of going to pound parties. But he dont like visitors from California.

The country dont stand so much in need of a ballot box that cannot be stuffed as it does of voters who can not be stuffed. Strange things occur at our hotel, Perhaps the commonest one Is that the steak thats overdue Is always underdone. A health journal is telling people how to lie when asleep. If it could pursuade them to tell the truth when awake it would do more good. The gas may escape at fifty leaks And never reach a flame, But tho meters hand in a quiet way, Will get there just the same Twenty invalids were saved from an untimely grave in Missouri the oiher day.

Their physician committed suicide, Between the summer complaint and being kissed by innumerable candidates the babies of the land are having a hard time of it. Soon, soon will come the coolish day, Fly time will be no more The folks, content, at home will stay, And flight-time will be oer. Are cigars offensive to you, maamP Only those which do not bear the Union Labor stamp, she replied elevating her nose. It is said of the poor whites of Ar kansas that when they move all they have to do is to pour a dipper of water on the fire and call the dog. A lamp has more sense than some people.

If it is in a room where there is two souls with but a married thought it invariably goes out. His hands and feet were stiff and cold, His brow with dew was wet, The coroner wrote in his record book, He smoked a cigrrette, Englishman But your country has never produced a Shakespeare. Californian Thats so, but we produced James J. Corbett. The hand-shaking days have come, The howdiest of the year And electioneering candidates Are whisper in in your ear.

The game laws are very rigidly enforced in Texas. If a man is caught cheating at poker he is shot across the table, Who loves his work And improves his time May shrewdlv jerk In many a dime. Whitehall Times. Who loves his work And oan lie by note Can shrewdly jerk In many a vote. THAT RALLY.

That rally of the Demo-Populists on the 13th was a full and fair showing of the combined strength of the allied hosts, arrayed against the Republican party. It was full because they turned out in full force, men, women, children, toot, horse and dragoon. It was fair in size because the procession occupied over two hours time in passing a giving point. It was also a fair illustration of the extremes of inconsistency. Following a leadership that proclaims hard times and hungry women and children were about 800 1,400 women and children, hale and hearty, fat teams, good vehicles, 27 loads of fine wheat to be sold to secure, (not food for the alleged hungry children) but for campaign axle grease.

Soon following the wheat wagons was a team and vehicle with three honey horses tethered behind, and the calnmityite driving howled at intervals, pointing to the poor, neglected horses, Heres yer living Republican bat-racks! The Alliance people held a big powwow Tuesday. They came in to take the town. They brought their teams, buggfes and wagons, they brought banners, they brought corn, wheat and oat displays, they brought the children and the dogs, but they didnt bring any money into town, oh, yes, they brought their dinners and consequently the hotels were not rushed, Cook (to hotel proprietor) Don't yon want me to get up an extraordinary laige dinner The Alliance people will be into day. Proprietor No, just cook the average dinner, but tell the porter to make a tub of red lemonade and sell it for five cents a glass. You were a prize fighter once, I believe Yes, and 1 was remarkably successful.

I whipped every man I met, and at one time intended to challenge the champion. Why didnt you Well, just about that time I got married and the conceit was taken out of nie. It is said that one of the banners in the Alliance parade bore the following: PaSN toWnShlP. But we are not going to cast any reflections. Probably the "farm boy" was just using np some of the white-wash that was left in the hen-coop since last spring.

This talk of Sullivan receiving $100, 000 for letting Corbett whip him is all bosh The fact is, Sullivan was whipped and whipped badly, too. The best think Sullivan can do is to go to sawing wood. Chicago, the great moral city, the modern Jerusalem, has prohibited horse-racing. Now if the good people could stop rushing the growler" on Sunday, oh, how nice it would be. Really 1 Half the fools in the United States think they can bent the doctor's in curing the sick two thirds think they can beat the minister preaching the gospel and all of them know they can bent the editor running the paper.

Now comes the season of the year When hunters seek the boar and doer. And, coming back fsom th Territory. l5ach one tells a thrilling story. Nu dainty In Winter for breakfast surpasses the cakes made of buckweut a-swlmmln In losses and sliding in butter as yellow as gold, and nothing is like em to keep ont the cold, How slendid they look exquisitely brown, all hot from the griddle, made perfectly round by Mollle, my Mollie, wbo bakes em with skill and patiently waits till Ive eaten my fill. No wonder I love In the morning ta hear the breakfast bell ring out Its tidings of cheer.

I dress In a jiffy and hurry below where Mollle is greasing the griddle, I know. Hurrah for tbe Winter whos frostiness makes an appetite eager for hot buckwheat cakes which sliding In butter aud swimming in lasses, is for breakfast that nothing 1 surpasses, More than twenty years ago, when it was found that prevention of cholera was easier than cure, a prescription drawn up by eminent doctors was published in the Sun and it took the name of the Sun Cholera Medicine, Our contemporary never lent its name to a better article, We have seen it in constant use for nearly two soore years, and found it to be the best remedy for loseness of the bowels ever yet devised.
