I The Illumination. Few people noticed the brilliant suroras or northern lighta, in the northern horizon Sunday night, between the hours of 8 and 10 o'clock.

But many people were reminded of the heavy wind storm that occurred Monday. The appearance of the aurora borealis of Sunday night and the wind storm of Monday are coincident. The auroras were significant, and we were forcibly minded of the significance of the wind storm and the clouds of duet that followed. The auroras or northern lights Sunday night were at first horisontal lights in the form of a rainbow and of a pale yellowish color; later in the evening they aseumed a luminous shape in beams or columns of crimson color, and ascending about The play. was magnificent.

The auroral light is an electric light. The auroral beams are simply illumined spaces caused by the flow of electricity threugh the upper regions of the atmosphere. The wind prevailed heavily during all day Monday, and the clouds of dust in Dodge reminded us of the drouthy period. The highest velocity of the wind was in the noon and reacked 54 miles an hour. For two hours the wind averaged 50 miles an hour.

There was considerable electricity in the atmosphere. The dark clouds in the evening portended rain, but were dispelled in the illusion of a drouth. J.J. Webb died of Small-Pox. J.

F. R. R. He had the best of attention and care, but there came a very sudden change in the weather and I suppose he caught cold, and he died very suddenly. He was going under the name of Sam King, after he came here.

I euppored you would like to hear from him. You can tell the friends of his death. J. A. SCOTT.

The Globe straddles the Congressional -showing elight preference for Judge Peters, but indicating that the delegates will be for Capt. Booth. A politician on a fence is a deplorable sight and a bumiliating condition. The gigantic intellect that controls the Globe ought to take an uncomprising attitude on National questions and National caadidates. This position is inperative, and abeolutely necessary, eepecially when they are holding National appointment.

However, in case Mr. Booth is elected congressman we shall use cur utmost endeavors with him to retaio Mr. Shinn in the Poatoffice. Lloyd would be flatfooted for Booth, but his wicked partner has whime, hence the Globe straddles the lence. M.

W. Sutton and Jae. T. Whitelaw have formed a partnership in the practice of the law. Mr.

Whitelaw arrived from Medicine Lodge on Monday and will make permanent residence here. This will be a law firm and all business entrusted to strong them will receive prompt attention. Mr. Sutton in well known in the western part of Kansas as a lawyer of more than ordinary ability. He has secured large practice and neede a partner in his growing busineve, Mr.

Whitelaw is a fine lawyer and will soon establish a good reputation in his new field of labor. Jos. Dillon, publisher of the Lakin Herald, was in the city yesterday. The publication of a newspaper so remote from settlements, is attended with financial difficulties. We Mr.

Dillon will brave the storme, and hope out prosperoue. We believe be bay come the patience and perseveranre to succeed.

The shot struck Loving in the back and penetrated the lung. This took place on Sunday night. Loving Allen had a previous encounter with pistols without fatal result-.

This affray was over carde, both men being gamblers. Frank Loving formerly lived in Dodge City. Several ago when he came here he a tenderfoot of mild manners, but was. 8000 hardened. He wes familiarly known cock-eyed Frank -one of his optics bearing is in a northeast course to the other.

He met the fate that awaits all men who take lives of other men. Dodge City people thankful that the pistol is not the arbitrater in dieputes or fancied wrongs within quiet precincts.

The ready revolver is thing of the part. The Kinsley Dramatic Association gave an entertainment in this city on Saturday night last. There was a fair audience witners the rendition of the comedy "Led As ray." Mr. Howes as Count Rudolph an actor who enters into the spirit of piny with genuine feeling. Mr.

Lauber Hector executed his part well. The gay deceiver was well sustained by Mr. Ellis De Lesparre. Ellis is far from being deceptive in his actual life, but he passes well counterfeit presentment. Miss Jennie Wight, at wife of the Count, performed her part exceedingly well, Mrs.

Moore, Mrs. Weeks, Lewis and Miss Young, performed their parta satisfactorily. The amateur performance was a rich treat for our citizens. We hope our Kinsley friends will call again. The following bide were made for wagon transportation, for the U.

Thompson, 1 68 2 Charles 2 29 The Boston wool market since the opening of the mouth baa shown no improvement from the position noted in Walter Brown's monthly ciscular, in fact the course of trade during the last two weeks has been anything but satisfactory to the holders of wool Manufacturers have been quite indifferent to the wools offering, and would only buy in quantity, where the price seemed to indicate a speculative figure. The Janau-hek Theatircal company performed to a large and appreceative audience in Streater's Opera House last night.

The rendition of "Mother and Son" admirabley executed, and awakened the better emotions of the interested epectatore. Madame Janaushek has lost none of her old charmes. She is supported by an excellent company. The Indians are all quiet and there is no danger of an outbreak. The editor of the Caldwell Post has quietly resumed his position.

Atchinon has just had sensation, a Very large one, and though it is a week old, hasn't quit talking about it yet. Last Monday night the Locomotive Engineers had a ball at Atchison, and there were three railroad men present who were not accompanied by their wives.

These three latter lived in the same block and were very intimate. Previous to the date of the ball they were very eager to go and talked about it all the time, but when the night arrived they concluded not to go. They prevailed upon their husbands to go, however, and at one o'clock the next morning the three got on the westbound Santa Fe train and skipped to New Mexico. Why they should have wanted to go, no one knows. and what they will do now that they have gone is equally a myatery.

They took but liule money with them, hardly more than enough to pay their fare, and where their destination was no one can guest. The waole affair seems to have been a freak, and not a long-concerted plan all. No one of the women were bad or fast, but there is no telling what may become of them before their husbands And them. is -trange case. -Topeka Capital.

One year ago the "rush for Texas" simply immense; now the "rush for Dakota" even eclipses the Texas furor. The next rush will be for Kansas, and other centrally located states, simply because the people who are doing the "rushing" will tire of Dakota as they did of Texas. Neither of the tremes will suit the people. They do not want to burn up or freezs down, and hence they must, in the nature of things, eventually seek a medium between the two extremea. Here in Kansas they meet with that happy medium, and to Kansas they are sore to come in the end; but, perhaps while they are fooling around on the outskirts of civilization the real cream of this rich country will have been gobbled up.

A word to the wine ought to be sufficient. An. Atchison special saye it in positively known that Frank James is at the head of a movement which has for its aim the extermination of all the parties whose names are with the death of his brother Jesse. It is claimed that Frank passed through Atchison last Friday going southwest, having with him four persons, and that on the same day Mrs. James went to Kaness City.

Yesterday Frank and party returned. The new gang will be composed of material taken from the county which produced Polk Wells, Bill Norris, Jim Dougherty, John and others. These desth avengers are backed by the entire constituency of Jesse James.
