No matter how hard it is to find a rocking chair during the day, a man is sure to fall over one when lie is in search of a match box alter dark.

The morning train going north fills up somewhat largely just at present, leading one to believe that many are going out to Newton to board the western bound trains from that point. Dr. Owens and wife started for Colorado Tuesday evening to lie absent most of tlie summer. They will vi-it Pueblo, Central City and Denver.

The Doctor is going up into the north-western part ot tlie State to look after some mining claims. Tlie number ot ice cream and cider saloons in our city is becoming quite a pugilistic element either in tlie interest of the temperance or tlie liquor dealers cune. Our readers must form their own opinions as to tlie bias. The world wasnt made in a day, neither can a newspaper reacb perfection at the start. Tbe successful journals are those wliii-lt have toiled hard and long gaining little by little until they stand foremost in the ranks ot journalism.

Mr. Flemming, of Brpdrn Bros, and Flemming, who has been stopping in tlie city several weeks, lias written to his home paper some very flattering comments about Wichita ami thi3 part o' Kansas. This county always phases tlie eye anil tunes tlie cake every time when viewed aright. Was there ever a lawyer in this city who recieveil the small sum of twenty-five dollars to compromise with a saloonkeeper in a threatened lawsuit instituted by the wife of an inebriate, and then went back on tlie woman, pocketed the money, and advised that there was no cause of action. We were almost moved to tears when we heard that one ot Wichitas gallant young men, while out boating with some young ladies, got stuck on a sand-bar, and had to pull oft' his shoes and roll tip liis breeches and get out of tlie boat and pull it off, and soil liis white vest and drop his lint in tbe water, and then lie had to call a granger witli a team of mules to come and help him.

Coles Circus. Sail Francisco, June 5, 1881, The following special dispatch to the Republican was iveieved this morning Publish once uiy show recently arrived from Australia, Has just closed a brilliant season here and will proceed east rapidly, reaching Wichita about July 15th. I have nthleil many novelties while abroad, namely a troupe of Hindoo jugglers, snake charmers anil devil-dancers, a band ot Arabian athletes, a tribe ol South Sea savages in Pacific Island past-times, a company of whirling dervishes, East India acrobats, an entire Australian circus company, a troupe ot aerial bicycle riders, a number of Chinese and Japanese wonders and a large collection of rare animals. 1 promise a more novel anil stueiidioiis exhibition than ever before witnessed in America. W.

W. Cole Proprietor Cole's Circus, Menagerie etc. Slioot the Victim. It is not true a3 stated Unit all roguis have reformed, or that all people lead the papers. An occurrence, jesterday, furnishes complete evidence ot lKitli facts.

Mr. J. R. Shoot, an elderly gentleman of Wichita, in whose heart there is no guile, came in ou tbe Santa Fc train. cn route for Joliit, yesterday.

At the depot Mr. Slioot met William Newton who gets acquainted very readily, and the two had a very interesting conversation, during which it transpired that they had mutual acquaintances. Newton proposed a walk toward the Ft Scott yards and Mr. Slioot agreed thereto. On the way the traditional freight agent appeared with the conventional bill for Newton.

As usual Newton applied for a $100 loan until he could cash a check, and as is generally the case, Mr. Shoot gave up. Shortly afterward the freight agent and Mr. Newton disappeared, and the gentleman from Wichita mourns his departed wealth. Billy Arlington, A large and appreciative audience greeted the appearance of Billy Arlington at the Opera House last evening, and the wide reputation of the company was well sustained.

The music anil singing was of more than ordinary merit, and the dancing and high-kicking was the best that we have seen for many a day. The songs Jar Down by Mr. C. A. Mason, and Morning by the Bright Light by Geo Nunn are worthy of special mention.

Cradle's Empty by Banksr Winter was one of the sweetest and best rendered selections that we have ever heard from the stage and it was received by a hearty round of applause. And what shall we say ol Billy Arlington? He is a whole show by li ini-elf, and his song Poultry' Dealer anil liis oration Labor vs. Capital brought down the house. A new and comical feature of the programme was A Nautical Flirtation, a kind of salt water love sketch that reminded ns of Pinafore. The specialties were novel and good, and the whole performance, while entirely free from the objectionable features of other troups was mirth-provoking and sidesplitting all the way through, just the thing to drive away dull care in this water-logged land.

A new programme will lye presented to night and you ill never put your money where it will ilo more good than by going to see Billy Arlington The Arlingtons gave their second performance Saturday evening and we do not think there was a dissatisfied spectator in the house. While we have but little to add to what was said of the performance of Friday evening, there are some points that it would be injustice not to notice. Prominent among the features of the company are Messrs. Howard and Alton, Burlesque Sketch Artists. Tin ir very neat act on Saturday evening drew forth rounds of applause, and gave Mr.

Howaid an opportunity of displaying- his magnificent voice wliile rendering selections from Madame Angot. Fra L'ivola and Girofle-Girofla. Mr. Alton in his Female Char acter Impersonations, was truly wonderful, and fur surpasses the Only Leon. The song Take me back, Kathleen, by Mr.

Pavev was recieveil with enthusiasm. We are glad that we have seen the Arlington Minstrels, and they have our recommendation whereever they go. New Fair Association. June 4th 1881. Board met at Esq.

The agent lor this valuable work will remain in town lor a lew day, and we commend him to the courtesy and patronage of our citizens, anil trust that be will meet with that success commensurate with the rare merits of tlie work. It is a valvable work. It is opportune. It records tlie sufferings of men and nnen of whom the world was not worthy.

Tlie narratives arc well told. The principles of the Protestant caue are developed, and the sufferings of flic martyrs are described with thrilling effect. No volume lias been which in typography, paM-r illustrations and binding will surpass this in beauty and durability. Christian Advocate, Nashville. I have been greatly interested in its contents and am sme no Christian can read it without being quickened and strengthened in his faith.

It is a book needed in these times when indifference to tlie nnh and weak faith so largely prevail. Its tacinating stories will interest and charm many readers. Rev. Saml J. D.

D. The base ball season has begun in earnest, and the papers of various cities are tilled with glowing accounts of how nine brutal ruffians Irotn some other place, assisted by a depraved and perjured umpire, succeeded in robbing the home club of the game. When tiie home club wins the umpire is a cultivated gentleman and the opposing nine a combination of gifted young men who were temporally unfortunate. Kansas can very well get along with the prohibitory amendment if water is snbstited in quantities like what we have been getting for the past week. The abundance of rain shows another thing: President Garfield is a (Jampbel lite, and water is a part of fits creed the amount of rain-fail is Indicative of an important fact that Heaven is sustain ing him and going back on Conkling.

Tone. Wearing of the Green.) Frilzy dear and did you hear, the news that's going round, That lager is forbid by law to llow on Kansas ground. And buck-beer day no more to keep. its praie you cannot hear. For there's a bloody law against tlie drinking lager beer.

I met with sier Ulrich, and lie link ine by the band And lie says, how's poor old Kansas and hew does she stand Shes the most distrc-slul country that ever you did hear. For they punish men, and women too, for drinking lager beer Now since tlie stuff that we must drink is water from the brook, A stuff no German ere will use, except to wash and cook. You may take away min" bolognas, mine swat. iino and trout. Mine garlic, and mine pretzels and throw them all about.

You may take my frou. Katrina, what I brought from Germane. You mnv take my little children that I dandle on my knee, You may ever take iny liutberger cheese that to my heart is dear. But do not take away, 1 piny, my darling lager beer. But if at lat our lager from free Kaunas must ilepai t.

Our friends witli and sorrow from tlie dear old State must start. I have beard tell of a country that lies not far from here. Where German, French and Irish can enjoy their lager beer. Oh Kansas, must we have you driven by a tyrant hand Must we seek our dear loved lager in a strange but freer land Where St. John and bis crusaders never more can dare to come here, And here, by damn, we'll live and die still drinking lager beer.

MORAL. Anil now St. John, my honest friend. Just listen bat you hear, If you exjiect the German vote, Dont stop our lager beer. And politicians, one ami all, Of tbis here make a note.

That those who favor unjust laws, Can't get a Germans vote. Arkansas City Democrat. Tlie Dog Scare. Although this subject has been pretty thoroughly ventilated of lute, and the Republican has taken a firm and dcciilud stand on this question, there arc still a few points that demand our lien and your candid attention. Something over one hundred years ago our fore-lathers fatal Itve mothers) got up on the rim of tiieir ear.

ami said that they would not pay old Mother England any more tax, not dog tax, as many would fain make you believe. A lively row was kicked up in tlie family, and one Fourth of July morning these disobedient children declared themselves free and independent, and adopted a Declaration of Inedpend-cnce. Ever since that time the Foiq tli of July has been a national holiday, and divers ways anil things have been proposed and invented to celebrate it. A nd of all these gunpowder (witli tbe cxci-p. tion of beer) seems to have tlie most enthusing effect.

Therefore have firecrackers and torpedoes been made for the anui8ement of tlie small hoy. Glass bombs and dynamite have also been invented, but tlie Nihilists have bought up the entire stock to blow up the Czar. Tho aforesaid s. b. enjoys the fire-craekers and torpedoes hugely, and devises various ways to use them, and none gives more pleasure to his heart than to tie a bunch of tire crackers toa dog's narrative and when he does this wc have a novt 1 and interesting exhibition of the Dog Scare.

Messrs. Craver a Steele. Grlnnell, Iowa. Gentlemen: We the undersigned farmers of Sedgwick County, Kansas, bought and used one of your ten foot RANDOLPH HEADERS during the harvest of 1880. Wc cut an average ot (27) twenty-seven and one-fourth acres per day.

Our ex pense for repairs for tlie harvest was only one dollar and a half ($1,50) and the amount cut was about six hundred (600) acres. Our machine is now in good order. We think the RANDOLPH the best header made and would advise those who intend to buy harvesting machinery, to buy the RANDOLPH HEADER. (Signed.) A. J.

Mr. Pollock has laid the foundation for a large addition to his house, with kitchen, bay window'and all the conveniences of a good home. The corn is growing luxuriously, and visions of roasting-ears and cholera-morbus rise up in the imagination like ghosts in grave yard. The brick work on the Baltimore Block is completed. Work on the Koys building is going rapidly on.

It will be one of the most handsome blocks in the city.

Frank Russell who has carried our papers to the residences so faithful for several months has taken a position in the grocery house of Magill Blis. For thorough integrity and good honest work we commend him to his new employers. A very distressing accident oecured on Friday night at the residence of Mr.

There will be in the neighborhood of 3,000 acres of sugar raised in Ellsworth county this year. Ellsworth Reporter.

That is to say, they were not both mare mule colts, and this probably couldnt happen in any other state but Kansas. Whether it is a fish story or not we cannot say, but the Emporia Bulletin is informed by reliable parties that in the Neosho and Cottonwood rivers the large buffalo fis come to the edge of the stream to grass, and the farmers spear them k. wagon load. In the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians, the revised edition of the new Testament it substitutes the word love for the word charity. This however will not do away with the conventional icantily clad beggar woman, who always has seven small children at home.

-In the State of Kansas there are twenty more newspapers published than in the States of Deleware, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont and New Jersey combined, and she is not i et of age. in the number of newpapers published in the thirty-nine different States, she stands No. 10. At a Sunday School In Granville county. North Carolina, they have what they call the Sunday School hens nest It is a hat with straw inside, placed near the pnlpit.

The little children who cannot raise pennies bring eggs instead and pat them in this novel contribution box. This is primitive, perhaps, but quite illy lie, and a person ot poetic turn of mind might find in it a subject of agreeable contemplation. We are pleased to learn tbe greivance we complained of some few days ago as to the running of wild ponies on our public streets is being handled in a very practical manner by our citizens. A memorial is iu course of signature to the city fathers asking them to pass an ordi- nance to prohibit the business. We are in thorough sympathy with the movement.

One of those unforeseen mishaps that strike a person with the uncertainty ot lightning befell little Earnest Abbott iu tbis office Friday night last. He was engaged in Tolling the type for the Weekly Republican, when by some misplacement of his left hand.

it was caught between the track and the flange of tbe heavy iron cylinder of the press, which crushed his little finger, and tore and bruised the others in a terrible, painful manner. He wa3 takea home in a buggy kindly tendered by Mr. Role Murdock. Dr. Crosky was called and his wounds dressed in the best possible manner.

All onr sympathies are extended to Earny- as lie is a willing, good boy and was filling the place of one of our regular hands who, on acconnt of a late sickness, was unable to do all the ardn- ons work of rolling for the entire paper. He is one of our carriers, but this hurt will give him a rest from such labor for a time, of which we are also sorry. To the Memory of Sister Gleuu.

Great interest is being manifested in this suit by the ci.y at large, as -upon it hinges much of the further operations of both the saloon and temperance elements in our city. We hope to be able to ive readers lull reports of the trial. 5 Such was conceived to be the interest would be created in the Fritz Snitz-ler case that the Opera House was hired I for tbe trial, the money lor hiring the Jsame being furnished by Fritz himselt. IAs matters now stand there will be no necessity for sik-Ii a I or it, least a week, Iwben, as iqrnji non ban it there will be the greatest" possible difficulty in empan-nelliug a jury to try the case. We ex press no opinion, but Simply recount what usually comes to the knowledge of ournallsts.

ably ass sted by Miss Gertie Floranee. Tlie following is from the Joliet Daily News of tlie 2d. A very large and enthusiastic audience greeted the second appearance of Prof. Martino at the Opera House bust night. All were pleased and many made happy by the lavish distribution of costly present, especially Jessie Doolittle, wlio got tlie $25 lounge.

fc'inee tbe death ol Ilcllar, Martino lias no rival in tins country, and only Kaure Nicolai in Europe. There are magician and illusionists. Sonic depend merely on sleight of band anil ingenious mechanisms, others go lar beyond this and utilize the latest inventions and discoveries in science to perfect or embellish their art. In the latter class is Martino. Probably no man on tbe stage has dqne more work in optics, acoustics and mechanics; certainly none lias made more use of them than be.

By those means he has succeeded in peril ding his manufacture of spectres, decapitations, sphinxes, goblins drums etc. Willi most necromancers, an audience knows, at least, two-thirds of the tricks Jicr-tormed with Martino, seldom is there a single one that is not new anil unknown.
