Pittsburg Weekly Smelter from Pittsburg, Kansas • 5

OVERCOME BY HEAT. FRONTENAC FLASHES. before last, 13 of them and not a man in the crowd, and they had as niee a time as if there had been 13 men with them. Ladies are just as safe here in the streets by themselves, as they would be with escorts. Mr.

H. Finn's horse has left his little home and gone astray or possibly some one has stolen him. Now if that horse knows what a good time is he will come back for he was the idol of Huck's little family and they are heart broken over his behavior. Miss Mary Haeck is -visiting in Farlington and Eph Bailey looks as sad and meek as a Salvation 6oldier. In our walk this morning we met our old friend John P.

Hagarty who is out for the nomination of county clerk. Mr. Hagarty is an old citizen of the county as well as an old soldier, and in our estimation a man more fitted for the position could not be found, as he is a genial and whole souled man whom to know is to love and respect. He has been in the coal office for years, and is known as a man who is kind and considerate to all who come in contact with him. If any effort on our part will give you the nomination, you shall have it, and after that you 6hall have the office to and in saying this I voice the whole section of the wards.

Go in Mr. Hagarty and win your lanrels, and we will be proud to see you wear them. Curt Martin for Marshall, yesterday, to-day, and always. Mr. Ellet of your office was in town last evening for a few minutes.

Come when you can, your pleasant face will always be welcome. We have finally received a copy of the Pittsburg Daily Smelter. It is a neat 6ix colum folio. We wish it the best of success, but we fear that the city of Pittsburg will be found too small for the prosperity of two metropolitan dailies. We hope we are mistaken.

Arcadia News. The police are evidently getting ready to gather in a whole gang of "naughty boys." At least one is lead to think so when he sees them hardening their muscles daily by the use of a pair of mdian clubs. One could hardly expect them to be doing it for any other purpose on a day as hot as yesrerday. The pleasure of last night's boating party at Playter's lake was seriously interfered with by a number of small boys who insisted upon using the lake as a swimming pool. The parties who have spent so much money fixing up the lake have made the necessary arrangements to have such conduct on the part of the boys dispensed with.

We acknowledge a very pleasant call from Drs. Lyngar and Wheeler, who have opened an office in the post-office build ing. They are bright young fellows and expect to make a specialty of collection work. The Smelter is always pleased to assist ambitious young people in any way within its power. Notice their card in this issue.

At the Bicycle races at Girard Fair grounds yesterday Ollie Maxwell formerly of this city won first prize and Carl Andrews second, being of the value of S15 and $10 respectively. Maxwell rode a Columbia wheel. The distance was one nule and the time The Kara-erzel-Fontaine race that is to be run off here at the Wheelmens Park of the afternoon of the 22nd next Monday, promises to be a very successful and well attended affair. The Club are advertising it in all the neighboring towns and expect a good crowd. It will be a very interesting race from start to finish.

But still the price of bologna does not seem to be diminishing in the least. Old wheat is still high and "gittin" higher. The farmers have found out that but little remains in the country. Most of them are holding what they have for 61 per bushel. The warm dry weather of the past three or four days has been very advantageous to the farmers in the way of securing the oats crop which was not cut when the late wet spell set in.

Both of Pittsburg. The colored missionary Baptist meetings held nightly in the Sharp building on North Broadway, near the corner of Broadway and Seventh enjoying a good attendance and will no doubt result in a great deal of good. A few members of the Kansas Gospel Union are in camp on the prairie south of Yale, where they hold services daily. They have been folding meetings at different mining camps in this district and are doubtless doing a good work. W.

He was removed at once to his boarding place at the home of Mr. Black in the east part of the city. Dr. Blair was called and prescribed for him, and although he was considered dangerously ill last night he seems to have recovered considerably this morning. His condition last was such as to require a watcher.

His friends here, of which he has many, will anxiously wait to hear of his entire and speedy recovery. From the Weir Journal. July 12th. William Vickers, Frank Bumgardner and Clarence Smith of Pittsburg, were over Sunday and took in the game. There was a time when Smith was no "slouch" behind the bat himself, though at present he is out of practice.

Pittsburg people complain that boys are so fond of swimming in Play ter lake that the pleasure boat recently placed there is not of much use. The Broadway Investment company, of Pittsburg, proposes to set forty acres in trees to be used as a park. This ought to make park enough for Pittsburg for many a day.

Fell From A Car. Dury Abdon, a Frenchman, fell from one of the Frontenac street cars last night and sustained a serious cut in the bactc of his head. A gash about two inches long was cut across the back of his head and he remained senseless for several minutes, but was finally revived by the use of water and fans. It was thought for a few moments that he was dangerously hurt. His fall was caused by his trying to get off the car while it was running.

He Wants to go to Arkansas. Wm. Fry is back again from the Poor Farm where he was taken the other day. He escaped last night and walked to Cherokee where he took the train for Pittsburg. He says they lock him up nights at the Farm and he doesn't like it.

About twenty head of Jersey cattle, consisting of cows, heifers and young bulls. Wm. Cone. On the K. T.

farm near shaft No. 20. 20-wlm We have lived here three years and this is the first real quiet Sunday we have ever seen after pay-day. Joints are closed and no "boot-leggers" in town. Somehow it makes one feel lonesome to see this, but we think it is for the best, and from now on it goes.

Our second team of ball players, "The Longs," were over to Midway Sunday doing the club. All the other base ball people were in Pittsburg to see the "Indian" game. Harry Ehrhardt, telegraph operator for the Santa Fe, was called to Belle Plane, Kansas, by the serious illness of his wile's brother. Our new board of canvassers met Saturday and formed as follows: E. B.

Robinson, chairman; Chas. Lindburg, secretary. One of the most important duties of our new city council should be the appointment of a good man for marshal a man who has a cool head and a good moral character, one whom the people respect and have confidence in. Our opinion is that the man whom the people want is Mr. Curtis C.

Martin. Mr. Martin is an old citizen, and has had good military training which will be of great help to him if appointed to the office. I was out all the evening talking of such affairs and found almost everyone saying that they would be very much gratified to see him in the blue, "with but a single star." Ere this will be in print our old friend Mr, Emile Horraock will take Miss Josephine Culzmann of our little city, to be his bride. Mr.

II. has a nice new nest to take his bride to, as he lias just finish ed a new house in the prettiest part of the town. We join in wishing you a happy, prosperous life. In spite of the rough roads quite a number of wheels were out Sunday, many from Pittsburg and adjoining towns. The wheelmen's club here is still growing, and if they could ever get all of them out of the repair shop at once they would make quite a little army.

They have big head-end collisions every day, and consequently it keeps trade good in the repair shop, and the doctor also has a little rake-off. Well, no risk no fun; over the hill all will be well. Many of Pittsburg's fair dames and daughters were out Sunday enjoying the bright, sunshiny day, after the week of rain and dark clouds we only wish we had a nice park for you to come to, so you could enjoy yourselves sure enough. We will have one sure before long or know just what is wrong. Miss Mary Wilson, of Pittsburg, spent Sunday as the guest of her cousin, Miss Mary Forsyth, of our town.

Oh, but there is a row in town; someone who is mean as anyone can be has poisoned over half of the dogs in town. Some very valuable ones, too, among them, two tine bred St. Bernards. Our old dog has a muzzle on that looks like a fire bucket. The people who have lost dogs talk as though they would make the man or woman, as the case may be, take a dose of their own medicine if they could only find out who it is, and you know they will not find the party.

John Anderson's dog, Trojan, of Pittsburg, was out here visiting and well, to make a long story short, he is dead, too. The drill hole is still in bad rock, white flint, with streaks of chalk zigzagging through it so that every little while the core breaks and causes lots of trouble. If a good flow of water is found who knows of what benefit it may be to us. We are sure of railroad shops if she comes all OK. Miss Laura James left this morning for her home in Farlington, after a six i weeks' visit among her old friends.

We were sorry to see her leave, as we hoped she would make this her future home. The "Littie German Band" was out this morning in honor of the Hormock-Kulzmann wedding. Ber goes at Turner Hall today and don't you forget it. I would go down if I thought I could get back tonight- Frontenac Items. Frontenac, July 17, 1895.

Arthur Mcllhaney, second clerk in the coal office, has gone to his old home in La for a two weeks vacation. Mc. will have a good time if some one don't watch him. Hay is going from the big barn at the rate of 3 cars per day. All going west to Colorado and New Mexico.

Everybody talk park talk it to your friends and tell then to pass the word on to their wives and sweethearts. We want some place where the children can play so they won't flock around the streets as they do. The streets, even of a small town, are a very bad place to raise little ones. Xo. 1 shaft fooled the men this morning by blowing the "no work" whistle at 6 a.m.

A big fall of rock was on the east side, and it will take all day to clear the road so coal can come to the bottom of the shaft. Quite a crowd of young people were out from Pittsburg last night taking in the sights at Xo. 1 shaft. Are not the street cars handy? One can get mor fresh air out here for a dime than you can get "back East" for a dollar. The Pochontas ladies were out uight THE PERENNIAL SMELTER.

Joplin Missouri, according- to the Herald is just now devoting-all its surplus energies toward establishing larg-e smelting-works on some co-operative or combination plan. We believe this same talk has been agitating the minds of our Missouri brethren for a long while, but it continues its existence during most of the year in sporadic becomes contagious, every year, justbef ore the transit of Sirius, and the present epidemic is but the presage oi the annual eruption. Candidly, we think that after some ten or fifteen 3-ears of profitless experience, the people who are trying-to build up smelters away from the coal supply would soon learn a valuable lesson. Pittsburg has a very sightly monument to this sort of folly in its defunct silver smelters, and we believe that Pittsburg, Weir City and Cherokee can run smelters at a profit, while the towns away from the local coal supply are running at a loss. This continual building of subsidized factories only to see them transformed into picturesque ruins does legitimate business no permanent injury, but it is surely a great annoyance.

Just like in the ordinary mercantile lines, there is always some dam-phool merchant who is going to revolutionize the world by proving Dhow a successful business may be run by selling goods at cost. He soon dies off only to be succeeded by another of his ilk. They never do any good to themselves, the public only pity them, but legitimate trade is so cut to pieces that nobody knows one day what to expect the next. Our Joplin neighbors who read this will of course see the emerald tinge of envy sticking out between the lines, but if the' do, it will all be in the visual organ and not in the object. Their ideas of putting the ore market upon the assay basis is a good move and surely commendable.

Joplin and the surrounding territory can "make" raw material to the "queen's but it takes Pittsburg's Black Diamond to make it the finished product, a fact well demonstrated in the minds of old settlers. We note by our exchanges that the Republican campaign is being opened all over the State. Kansas City leads off with a rousing mass meeting. What are we Republicans in Pittsburg doing to be saved? There is not much to be done before the county convention except to get our League club in good trim and a plan of action mapped out ready for the fray. This was about the only corner in the universe that did not go Republican last fall.

This must not occur again, so we must commence to better ourselves. Miss Margaret Morris at Decatur, 111., and they have lived happily and contentedly together ever since, their union being blessed with one daughter, Mrs. Peak, who arrived from Baxter Springs last night just in time to see her beloved father pass from his earthly home. Mr. McLean was a friend to all who knew him, and he was a truly good man.

The funeral will take place from the M. E. church to-morrow at 3.30 p.m., Rev. Maclean officiating. The remains will be buried in the Mt.

Olive A Distinction if Not a Difference. Our local editor in reporting the arrest of parties for violating the prohibitory statute yesterday noted the seizure of so many kegs of beer. While we do not wish to anticipate any decisions of the court in this or any other matter we want as nearly as possible to give our readers the facts. Mr. Kllet had his information from good authority, but not being an expert on such matters especially "on sight" it would probably have been better to say what was supposed to be beer.

We have no desire to do anyone an Injustice and when we are not fully informed we will always aim to give anv accused party the benefit of any doubt that may exist. One Gets Liberty, The Other Work. Mrs. Wm. Zenkie who was arrested Saturday night in company with a man by the name of Royer, and given board and lodging in the "Hotel DeQuay" over Sunday, was given a hearing yesterday afternoon in the police court and although she acknowledged some things which were not good for her health, she was given her liberty.

Royer was not so fortunate. He made an eloquent plea and many promises for himself but neither his speech or the hot weather were sufficient to melt the heart of 'his honor." He was given $59 and costs, and is now in the Geological Garden. A Pleasing Trip. It is a source of no little pleasure to take a trip out to Frontenac these hot sultry afternoons on the Pittsburg and Surburban Railway. This railway offers 6uch excellent car service that one can make a trip to Frontenac and back in but a few minutes, and it is a splendid way to get cooled off too.

The Smelter is informed that now since the company has a charter into Missouri, it is seriously thinking of extending its lines into tnat state. Min-den and Weir City are the objective points. Should these lines be built Pittsburg will have scored a big jump in the line of advancements. Litchfield. Our reporter visited Litchfield yesterday and found that camp in its wanted good behavior.

His visit was very brief but arrangements were made for a correrpondent and the Daily Smelter will be delivered there everyday by 5 p. m. Our old time friend Chas. Bon dwell of the. K.

T. store is subscriber number one at that place. day afternoon the Smelter hustler was out in Frontenac where there was a nice cool breeze blowing while on the way out there. N. D.

Sanders brought in a list full of news this morning a little after sunrise and informed the Smelter that he could not be seen again to-day, because he is moving back into his property on south Elm street. The colored missionary Baptists are holding revival services nightly, in the Sharp building on north Broadway near Cth street. These meetings are usually well attended and are of con-sideravale interest. Missouri apples are begining to pour into Pittsburg by the wagon load, just as though there was no such a thing as an apple in Crawford County. The price is within the reach of all.

Melons and Cholera Morbus are on hand too. Surveyor D. T. Roy returned last evening from Carthage where he has been assisting in a preliminary railroad survey between Carthage and Aurora, Mo. Up to the present writing the Smelter has not learned what company is having the survey made.

We acknowledge the receipt of subscriptions to our Daily from our old friends and brother millers C. Hitzof Girard and Chas. S. Henning of Cherokee. These gentlemen know news when they see it and our telegraphic market report is of value to them.

Six loads of apples and potatoes were brought into the city yesterday evening from Barton county, by L. Williams, Boston and C. X. Hellens, J. X.

Williams, A. M. White and A.J. Blythe, of Esser, Mo. They report the oats and flax crop good but seriously in danger from the effects of the excessive rains.

Tne funeral of little George, the son of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Ilogeboom took place today at 10 o'clock from the residence of his parents.

It was attended by many of the friends of the bereaved parents. Rev. Leeds, of the Episcopal church delivered the address. The remains were interred in Mount Olive cemetry. Messrs.

H. B. and It. W. Ilogeboom, of Topeka, attended the funeral.

The general opinion of the farmers over the country is that wheat standing in the shock at the time the late rains begun, will not be worth thrashing on account of the grain having sprouted so badly, and the only way in which they can derive any benefit from it will be to dry out the sheaves and then stock it up to feed to the hogs. The Antl-riorrill Rebellion is a Thing of the Past. Here is Will White's version of the great rebellion: "The great anti-Morrill rebellion which started out so fine and gay last January, following the first patriot who went back from Topeka with his ambition in a sling, has completely wiggled itself out. During February, when there were 2,400 statesmen for 100 places, the war was fierce and vicious. It had enrolled among its cohorts, Billy Sterne, Sol Miller, Marsh and his brother, Bent Murdock, the Sixth district legions headed by Webb Greer with a jagged tin corn knife for Cy Lie-land, Mike Sutton with his anti-Long boom, D.

O. McCray with his wild unfettered fancy and his shriveled sense of Major General D. R. Anthony and George Martin, the headsmen of the rebellious hosts. 'The sun of coon looked down to-day and saw not Billy Sterne has surrendered; Sol Miller sold out; Victor Murdock was given a job; Ed Greer had a friend named Jobes who was made bank commissioner; Webb McNall went into the hay field; Mike Sutton 'Now treads alone a banquet hall deserted.

D. O. McCray has taken his fakes to democratic papers and to-day's Leavenworth Times has an article on "Philosophy of Education" and another upon George Martin is the last of the Mohicans. He is the tail that wiggles at sundown. In his paper yesterday he has a mild article about the saloon situation; but there is no sting in it.

The red head lost its cunning, and his fiery double leads stuck to the roof of his mouth. It's all over now. The rebellion has passed into history. Gov. Morrill has won his fight; the people are with him.

The politicians are surely coming in out of the wet. Time has vindicated an honest man; truth crushed to earth has proven a buzz saw to the men who tried to kidnap her. The thrilling news comes from the capitol that the Topeka Daily Pres3 and the Topeka Advocate will be consolidated and a new daily silver organ established which shall represent the silver and anti-Republican forces of the state. J. B.

Watkins is behind the scheme and he is to be the silver candidate for United States senator. Watkins is a banker at Lawrence and i3 the man who was "bled" so 'generously once before by a pretended support of his senatorial ambitions. He is wealthy and generous but he can't be a Reflector..
