SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20,1888. OBSERVATIONS. To observations wlilcli ourselves we make We urow more imrtlul, (or the observer' sake. Tope. Congress adjourns to-day.

I.et us pray. Hill Iligglns Is in hot water over a railroad trial. Any man who votes for Hill Higgins for secretary of state this fall, would vote for the devil himself were he the party nominee. Colonel Lew Wallace, the great anther, is a base-ball crank, and not only uttends every game in Indianopolis hut makes his wife go. If we had Hen Ilur we wouldnt have wedded a ball crank.

The Bulletin will add a womans column" to its other interesting features the first of the month, and will make it of interest to not only the ladies of Wichita but all over Kansas. The lady who will edit this department Is experienced in journalism, and we consider her one of the most accomplished Litteratuen in the state. This column will be for ladies only and the naughty men will be snubbed entirely. Kansas was disgraced this week by two rape cases, one by a burly negro in the west part of the state and the other by a farm laborer near Wellington, both victims being little girls. The Bulletin does not often originate a tonst, but, heres to hell I May it continue to burn and blaze do business at the old stand, until all such fiends are caught and burned until there is not enough left of them to make a speck on a clean white napkin.

A negro held up" a white man Wednesday and relieved him of 5. The mail carriers ball was an Immense affair and a blooming success. Wichitas boat club will give a grand ball every three weeks from now on. Deputy Sheriffs Haines and Lillie were thrown out of a buggy and badly mussed up, Friday. A little boy, while jumping on and off street cars Wednesday, fell beneath the wheels and received serious injuries.

Kate Putman, as Erma the Elf, interested our theatre goers this week. Katie is the same little darling she always was. John Bullards residence, corner Second street and Mosley avenue, was burglarized by unknown thieves on Wednesday night. The combined weight of two ladles, on Lawrence avenue Friday, tipped a two-wlieeled buggy backwards and hoisted the pony skyward. The son of a prominent local politician who purloined and sold two of his fathers cows a few days ago, will make a good politician himself some day.

Another large excursion came in Thursday over the Fort Scott road, bringing hundreds to Wichita from Anthony and other towns in thut part of the state. Fritz Sehnitzler, a Wichita man of both money and muscle, whipped four men at once Thursday evening, for appropriating his horse and buggy without permission. Julia Beck, who attempted to take her life in Wichita a number of years ago, tried it again in Kansas City, Wednesday, and with good success. It is thought she was a little off. It was rumored yesterday that Thornton, the slayer of Officer Ebenliack, had been reinstated on the McMahan Police Patrole.

If this be true it is a beastly outrage and should not be tolerated. W. II. Frazius, dem ocratic nominee for lieutenant governor, talked here to the uuterrified Thursday evening. Of course he said his election was sure.

Mr. Frazius is a man who talks much with his mouth yet says little. r.lnted Priestesses In Quaint Garment Performing the Nun Ounce. A group of young priestesses are in waiting to repeat the measures danced by Uzume before the Sun Goddess oave in prehlstorlo tlmos. The little priestesses are all between the ages of nine and twelve, as timid, gentle and harmless little things as the deer that often, stray in and watch them.

Their dress is the old, old custom of the imperial court, a picturesque lower garment or divided skirt of the brightest cardinal red silk that half covers the white kimono, with square 'eevos and pointed nook filled up high with alternate folds of red and white. When they dance they wear over this kimonos of white gauze, painted with the wistaria crest of the Kasuga temple, the front of the gauzy garment half oovering the red shirt, and the book pieoes trailing on tho mats. Their faoes are plastered so thickly with white paint that they lose all expression, and following the old fashion, their eyebrows are shaved and two tiny black dots high up in the middle of their foreheads take their plaoa. With lips heavily rouged the countenance is more a mask than any thing human. The hair is gathered together at the back of the neok and tied with loops of gold paper, and then folded in soft white paper, allowed to hang down the back.

Long hair-pins, with clusters of wistaria and red camellia, are thrust across the top of the head, and fastened so that they stand out like horns over tht? forehead. In detail the oostume is not pretty, but in its general effect it Is singularly bright and picturesque. Tokio Letter, According to Afo(es and Queriet the longest word in the English language in actual use Is disproportion-ableness, with twenty-one letters, closely followed by incomprehensibleness. One of the longest of medical terms is mcthylbenzoinethoxy-ethyltetrahydropyridinecarboxylate. which is the chemical term for cocaine.

American women will be interested to know that in Burmah etiquette imperatively forbids both men and women to betray in any way the fact that they possess feet and that it has thus become the invariable rule for all gilded Burmese to so dovetail and fold up their lower extremities as to present a singularly fore-shortened appearance when they Bit down to converse. Four hundred men are required to take the great City of New York across the Atlantic and attend to the wants of her passengers. The engine department claims the attention of 185 of these workers, including twenty-six assistant engineers, thirty firemen and fifty-four eoal passers. In the sailing department there are sixty men and in tho passenger department 150 men. A man recently died in Washington Territory and left a will, in which his father is made heir to a watch and chain, his mother to a house and lot, and his dog, Fitznoodle Kilpatrick, came in for a bequest of $2,000.

Trustees were named to hold this sum for the and to furnish him with provisions, to consist of all the delicacies of the season, besides chewing gum, liquors and cigars. An Albany boy having been bitten by a dog, the neighbors wanted to put court plaster over the wound and satu rate it with vinegar. An aged colored woman recommended as a sure preventive of hydrophobia that the boy should back throe times around an electric light pole with his eyes closed and then bite a piece out of the left ear of the first dog that he spied on opening his eyes. The injured boy went home with a light heart and no fear of hydrophobia. Thera are over sevon mill ton porei in the human body, and yet we are surprised because some men are sponges.

Clothing, Hats, Caps and Gents Furnishing Goods, AT PRICES ALWAYS THE LOWEST. Last evening's papers contained a great anarchistic scare again from Winfield.

It seems that someone sent a package of of dynamite cartridges from CoiTeyville to Winfield; the express agent took them home for safe keeping, and upon dropping them on the floor in his house they exploded and blew up the whole neighborhood, injuring himself, his wife and daughter, from the effects of which the wife died. The Bui.i.etin hardly knows what to make of all this, but if it is true that there are a lot of anarchists down in that country they ought to be run down and cleared out after the Chicago plan. The Beacon attempted to make political capital out of it against the republicans, claiming that it was a nefarious scheme on the part of the republican central committee of Cowley county, all of which it seems to us, is the sheerest nonsense, and altogether foreign to anything pertaining to the subject. The Beacon as a metro politan paper ought to have more gumption than to talk such rot. There is no party in Kansas that desires to murder its political opponents by the dynamite or any other method, and the expression of such sentiments sounds to a sensible man very much like the talk of a fool or a knave, perhaps both.

The fact is that not only the Beacon but the Eagle and nine-tenths of the rest of the partisan papers of the state have become so blinded and corrupt politically that everything is given a political coloring and used to carry their point. Any and every species of crime now-a-days appears in the col umns of these great moulders of public sentiment as An Infernal Republican Plot or A 'Damnable Democratic scheme ad infinitum. There will come a time maybe, when these great men will learn that neither do they know more than Solomon nor is the average voter a fool. PRENTIS PATRIOTISM. From where this writer sits he can see what is certainly the widest, and perhaps the longest street in Kansas, and it is wrap ped in sunlight, and in red, white and blue.

The street has been decorated be. fore, but never before with such a profu sion as this. It is nearly indiscribable this display. The red, white and blue grouped in every possible shape and de vice, in flags, In banners; in guidons, in rosettes and festoons and garlands; in stars and crescents and circles in letters and scrolls and shields in stripe's that wind around pillars and post coyering the fronts of the houses, fluttering from windows alow and aloft; hanging out in steeples and towers; crossing the street from side to side on arches more red than you can count; white by acres, blue by yards. Hut not alone on buildings and arches is the glorious universal tri-color.

It flut ters from the heads of all the horses flashes by in carriages covers the street cars is waved in the hands of children shines on the maidens breast girds the waist of manly youth is bound around the whitening locks of age. It is worn in medals and badges, and fastened in button holes. It is everywhere. No place so high as to disregard it, no place so hum ble but may display it. There is much in a ribbon if it bears the right color.

THE GREAT G0MMISSI0N.H0USE OF A. CANNON 00. The Bulletin reporter who was shown through the business house of A. Cannon general commission merchants, corner of Fifth avenue and Third street, by the gentlemanly manager, Mr. II.

Gager, was surprised at the magnitude of the coucern. The building is one of the largest in Wichita, containing three stories and a basement, and is fitted expressly for this business, there being a railroad track running clear through it, thus giving them a great advantage in their facilities for shipping. By this arrangement, no matter how wet or disagreeable the weather may be, none of the goods handled are in the slightest danger of being damaged by rain or cold. The track was crowded with heavily laden cars, among them be ing one entire car-load of California dried fruits. On the first floor are the general ship ping rooms and offices, where Mr.

Bunk er, the book-keeper, with his assistants, stenographer and type-writer, may be found, and also a large number of the em ployes of the house. The storage room on this floor was crowded with sack upon sack of potatoes, barrel after barrel of apples, and innumerable pails of lard from the house of Fairbank which name is of itself an unequivocal recommendation. The second floor Is deyoted to dried fruits, oatmeals, cracked wheat, starch and coffees, the firm making a specialty of Rockford oatmeal, Nudavene flakes and Paragon coffee. The third floor is used as ageneral stor age room, and is so filled that one wonders what on earth they are going to do with such vast quantities of goods. Only think of it, solid car-loads of cheese, oranges, lemons and dried fruits, to say nothing of sugars, syrups, coffees, potatoes, apples, and a host of other things.

The basement is filled with pickles in all shapes, barrels, jar, cans bottles, with rice and syrups, and cheese and nuts The firm have two city solicitors and three traveling salesmen, besides a host of general employes. The manager, Mr. Gager, and the outside man, Mr. Cannon are both courteous and polite gentlemen as well as shrewd business men, and Wich ita may well be proud of them. They are among the leading business men of the state.
