The call for a Grant Club has some 60 signers. H. D. Hunt is making improvements on his store building new roof, etc. The only child of Geo.

B. and Annie Sterline died at the residence of G. W. Barr, In Wathena, on Wednesday of last week. Charles Lang, of the Wathena brewery, has failed, and the establishment has passed into the hands of A.

Disque, of Elwood. The brick work of Nahrung's new store room is completed. B. F. Calloway, of Troy, was the contractor.

Built in six days. C. B. Robinson has finished his contract on the Narrow Gague road near Leavenworth, and arrived at home last week. We understand that he has taken another contract on a road in I N.

Silverman, now merchandising at White Cloud, will occupy. Jeff's new building about the 20th of next month. He is a good business man, and has an elegant stock of dry goods, clothing, notions, which he sells at a very low price. Being connected with eastern houses he purchases all goods cheap, and gives his patrons the benefit of such an advantage. Snively Hedges still continue to dispose of immense quantities of flour all over the west.

Their shipments are enormous. Their brands are favorites wherever known. They still pay the very highest price for wheat, and Sloat, their accomplished miller, more than satisfies all farmers in the way of doing custom work. Farmers call and see this firm, and look at the new machinery they have recently put in. In his book on Chronic Diseases, Dr.

Pierce says of his Golden Medical Discovery "God, I believe, has instilled into the roots and plants from which this wonderful medicine is extracted, the healing properties, by the use of which Consumption, the scourge of the human family, may in its early stages be promptly arrested and permanently cured. I do not wish to delude, flatter and then disappoint the afflicted by asserting that this can be accomplished when the lungs are half consumed, as many do who, being devoid of all conscience, aim to humbug the afflicted, that they may sell their often worse than worthless compounds. But if my Golden Medical Discovery is employed in the first or early stages of the disease, I know from ample observation and actual test in hundreds of cases, that it will arrest the disease and restore health and strength." 616 We met Capt. Fry, of Virginia, last Saturday, who related to us his first attempt at buffalo hunting. A short time since in company with W.

B. Craig and G. W. Barr, of Wathena, he went out beyond the present terminus of the Denver Road, where the party procured horses, and after riding a short distance discovered a number of the critters, and went for them. The Captain and Barr succeeded in bagging one each, but our friend Craig only wounded the one he had singled out as his prey, an old bull, that came towards him like "a wolf on the fold," wounding his horse, when that biped made an unwilling acrobat of William, causing him to describe many evolutions in the air before he reached terra firma.

When he did alight, his trusty steed was flying over the prairie, and ye noble bison was studying in what manner he could best tender him "a couple of horns." And there they stood, Craig solemnly avers, for half an hour, like members of the Mutual Admiration Society, eyeing each other, when the bull gave it up in disgust, and our hero ran away so fast that he kicked all the hair off the back of his head in his efforts to escape. Organization of the Grant Club. Pursuant to previous notice, the Republicans of Center township assembled at the Court House in this city, on Saturday evening, August 3d, 1872, for the purpose of organizing a Grant Club. The crowd in attendance was very large. The meeting was called to order by Cyrus Leland, on whose motion D.

Mcintosh was elected President pro and on motion of Wm. Monroe, G. W. Larzelere was declared Secretary. On motion of J.

A. Odor, a committee of five on permanent organization was appointed by the Chair, as follows W. H. Shepherd, W. Monroe, Cyrus Leland, F.

M. Tracy and Henry Steel. During the absence of the committee short speeches were made by Judge Maynard, C. G. Bridges, and Joel Holt, which were received with much enthusiasm.

The committee after a brief absence reported the following officers President, Judge N. Price. Vice Presidents, D. Mcintosh, Robt. Neeland, H.

P. Saxton, N. B. Wood, E. N.

Association, will hold a meeting Monday, 12th inst. J. A. Odor, Sec'y. The second annual dividend of the school fund for 1872, is now ready for disbursement.

D. W. Bitowx, Sup't. Pub Ins. W.

H. Bush has resigned the treasur-ship of Washington township, and Lyman Nash appointed in his stead by the County Commissioners. Severance in this county, gave 40 subscribers to the N. Y. Tribune before the Cincinnati Menagerie exhibition.

Now there is but one taken there. Watermelons and peaches have made their appearance. Grapes will soon be on fale very low prices, as the crop in this comty promises an enormous yield. The Reporter states that Joseph Price, who was killed at Doniphan, on Monday of last week, was a brother of Judge Price fif this city. A mistake he was a cousin.

iti Mr. Mcintosh, Register of Deeds, ha ntted up the interior of the vault in nis office, with very convenient roller shelves, upon which to place his books of record. A resident of Beatrice, was run over by the mail train on the Denver Road, near Jenkins' Mill, last Monday. His body was horribly mutilated. Name unknown.

A coal house of octagon shape, 14x14 in diameter, and ten feet high, is to be built on the east side of the court house. The Sheriff will receive bids from carpenters to do the work. Two men named John Ryan and Michael Wolf, were run over by a hand car near Axtell the Denver Road, on Monday. They were seriously injured, but are recovering. We have received two numbers of the Hutchinson News, published at Hutchinson, Reno County, by Perry Bro's Co.

It is a neat, spicy paper, and deserves to be well supported. Judge Pricce says that the cause of Uncle Joe Nixon's defection from the Republican party is, that he has heard lately that Gen. Grant drinks, and being a radical temperance man, refuses to support him. JCfeie County Board, at its meeting on Tuesday last, determined to purchase coal stoves for the use of the offices in the Court House, and dispense with the further use of wood. It is evidently an economical idea.

Mr Jeffs, the enterprising builder of Troy, comtemplates the erection of another two story brick building adjoining the city hotel on the south. The one next to Boder's Bank is being pushed forward with energy. A Troy Democratic Liberal gives his reasons for opposing Grant, as follows "Do you think I'm durned fool enough Lahmer appears to be getting on piles of goods, but then he is handy getting rid or 'em. Uncle John Martin is doing a lively business. He is No 1, and the girls all say is good looking.

Those Jits the Shonyo Bros, give in the way of clothing and sich, are real nice, and then they always fit a fellow's pock et, you know, or ought to. Hollebaugh Is the man who does the cutting and fitting for gentlemen far and near, and all acknowledge John one of the best tailors in the State. Garlock, the harness man, Is get ting up stacks of Work, and selling lots of goods. He is one of the best saddle and harness makers in the State. Shreve, the drug man, has one of the best drug stores in the State, and can give a "dose" that will make a man as sick as "any other man but then they always feel better afterwards.

Com, oafs and barley are coming in lively, and the consequence is that Noyes Moore are loading cars every day for St. Louis. Shonyo Bro. also keep their elevator going constantly, and ship large quantities of grain. The White Cloud steam ferry is one of the institutions, of White Cloud.

The company have one of the best' boats on the river, and cross an immense immigration, besides a local business that is simply enormous. The skipper is an "old salt," and understands the business of steamboating to perfection. The A. N. R.

R. is making fine improvements around the passenger depot, and will soon grade a make other preparations for the starting of a line of packets, vhich is to ply from this city to points wnich are not reached by railroad. There is something in the A. N. road men that has "git" in them.

Those hardware men, Mr. Shaw and Morris, leep as good stocks as anybody. They hive everything from a tooth pick to a forty-horse power cooking stove, and sell cheap. Now, we don't mean by saying Shaw and Morris that there is oniy one house. Mr.

Shaw represents one, and Mr. Morris another, both live men. We took a little ride in the country surrounding White Cloud the other day, and the stacks of grain and fields of corn which met our view was very gratifying. Our city has as many finely improved and cultivated farms lying contiguous to it as any in the State in fact the country around White Cloud has a reputation throughout the country as being the "garden spot." The 1st of August is a memorable day with our colored fellow citizens. It was appropriately celebrated here, by a large and respectable number, many being present from Highland and Hiawatha, and Forest City and Oregon, contributing largely to the pleasure of the occasion.

Everything went off nicely, and many will remember the day, and celebrate the anniversary of their freedom for years to come. An unknown man jumped from the steam ferry boat on Tuesday, and was drowned. He digested himself of coat, hat and shoes lefore taking the fatal plunge, which shows that the act was premeditated. II was imposnible to render the unfortunate man any assistance. His clothes are in the possession of the ferry company.

Since the above was put in type, we learn that the mai's name was Kelley, and that he was 22 years old, and 5 feet 7 inches in height The body was not recovered. On the night of August 5th, two, men named Rufus Ridge and Taylor Nichols, escaped from the jail at Holton, Jackson county. They were traced to the farm of Mr. Ridge, fatker of the first named, six miles west of Troy, by Nichols was captired, but Ridge got into a corn-field an! escaped. A reward of fifty dollars is offered for his apprehension.

Jacob Shuck, champion wagon maker and blacksmith of White Cloud, has a word or two to say to our readers through our advertising columns. He is now manufacturing wagons of the best quality, and is prepared to do all sorts of repairing either in wood or iron, on short notice. He is a good workman, and makes it a point to give satisfaction both as to charges and excellence of all work done by him. About half a dozen dejected looking mortals, all old fossilized Democrats, attended the meeting of the Greeley Club in this city on Wednesday night, and adjourned in short order, heartily sick of their abortive attempts to create enthusiasm in behalf of a man whom they despise. Greeley stock is falling.

Put Doniphan county down for not less than 800 majority for Grant. All over the county honest Democrats are flocking to tne standard of the hero who preserved the Union, and whose motto is, "Let us have peace." P. T. Barnum's World's Fair. On the 19th day of August, the Greatest Show on earth will pitch its acres of canvass in.

Atchison, giving their grand, full and complete exhibitions of the entire Seven Shows for the simple sum of fifty cents children half price morning afternoon and evening. P. T. Barnum's Great Show travels by rail, requiring three and sometimes four trains of forty cars each, with from two to four engines to each train, in order to transport it rapidly from one city or large town to another. It is so large and diversified in its multitude of appointments that six separate pavilions are used for the various departments of the exposition.

Barnum cannot afford to stop his big show in small towns. Only think of a show requiring a thousand men and horses to manage it, and containing over a hundred thousand curiosities, 500 animals.birds, reptiles and marine monsters, a double set of performers, a double circus ring, with one hundred of the best performers in the country, a vast group of sea lions, wild Fiji cannibals, horse-riding goats, living giraffes, mammoth giants, ponderous reptiles, living human wonders, astounding dwarfs, four times smaller than the famous Tom Thumb all these to be seen for the sum of fifty cents. It is no wonder if Deonle will see it. Extra trains will run at reduced xares to carry the people to Barnum's great World's Fair on the day above mentioned. o'elockji.

m. Col. John J. Ineralls and Hon. H.

Horton, of Atchison Hon. I. Kalloch, of Lawrence, and other distinguished orators will address the meeting Every Republican in Doniphan county is earnestly invited to attend. The Troy silver cornet band will enliven the occa sion with soul-stirrinc music. Let there be such a monster gathering as old Doniphan never before witnessed.

Grant Club at Brenner. There was a big rally of the Brenner farmers on last Saturday. A Grant club of some sixty odd names was formed. Mr. F.

D. Gott was made temporary chairman, and John Lancaster secretary. A committee of three was selected on permanent organization, and a committee of three on resolutions. The following are the officers of the Club President J. B.

Kennedy. Sec. and Treas. John Lancaster. Vice Presidents Warren Day, F.

D. Gott, Ola Clemetson, John Landis, John McNemee, Job McDaniel, John Ot-ton, Booth, DeWitt Hastings, Geo. Williamson, Horace Sceley, Hargis, A Hargis. Executive Committee Smith, Mr. Miller, Mr.

Saxton, Geo. Hagemann, L. Jones. The following are the resolutions adopt ed by the Club 1st. Mesoivea, mat tne gooa or our country depends upon the faithful adherence to the principles promulgated by the Republican party.

2d. That we see in U. S. Grant a fit representative to perpetuate and maintain the same. 3d.

That it is too soon to coalesce with dissatisfied office-seekers, adventurers, and irresponsible renegades, to elect to the chief magistracy of this great Republic a man who is now in his dotage, and who even in his younger days was ever inconsistent and fickle. 4th. That the so-called Liberal move ment is too liberal to be honest and wo find from observation that it is composed of men who have been found unworthy in office, or whose character was too well known to admit of their obtaining an oi-fiee. The next meeting of the Club will be on Saturday, August 17th, at 4 p. m.

Republican Club at Highland. Agreeable to a call, the Republicans of Highland and vicinity assembled at Sea-ver's office August 3d, the Democrats having an appointment for a meeting the same evening. The "Dems" failed to come to time, but the Republicans had a very large meeting, consisting of many of the leading citizens of this part of the county. Fifty names were added to the supporters of Grant and Wilson. Stirring speeches were made by H.

N. Seaver, J. P. Johnson, Rev. Dana Fox, Prof.

W. F. Gage, Mr. Edgerly and others. The enthusiam for Grant and Wilson was unbounded, and we feel confident that our majority in this precinct will be larger than if the Democracy had nominated a straight out Democrat for President.

The Greeley Club in the town of High land does not yet boast a single Republican member. It numbers sixteen (that is what they claim) in the village, all of them old Democrats, while there are five Democrats here who repudiate the Liberal ticket, some of whom go for Grant. The Republicans have here from three to five to one. We not only claim this, but can show the names. A correspondent of the Atchison Patriot, who was Secretary of the Democratic Liberal meeting held here, when thirteen members were that fifty Republicans supported the Liberal ticket.

Now the Secretary of that great body denies ever having given such information to the Patriot. The matter is between them, and the Patriot man probably looked through a glass bottom up. The following are the officers of the Grant Club: President Dr. J. S.

Martin. Secretary B. S. Campbell. Vice Presidents Wm.

Bayless, Elijah Gee, H. N. Seaver, J. P. Johnson and S.

Hiess. Executive Committee J. S. Martin, B. S.

Campbell, J. P. Johnson, H. N. Seaver and S.

Hiess. Strong resolutions were passed endorsing Grant while he was whipping rebels, also his administration as President, and the support of the Club pledged to Grant and Wilson in November. Dr. Anthony, who lives near Highland, sympathizes with the Democracy, but is a member of our Club. The following is a list of the Grand and Petit Jurors drawn for the September term of the District Court GRAND John Parker, Sam'l Edwards, Zimmerman, Enoch Bartlett, Little, Cook, Louis Fay, Isaac Adams, Clarey, petit Duncan, Moses Townsend, Deckard, Lafayette Noe, Gaines, Herman Day, A Jeffries, Fish, Daugherty, Jennings, John Cummins, Wm Hinchman, JURORS.

And now Sol Miller, of the Chief, has taken to dreaming. On Monday night he had one, and thought his Satanic Majesty, the devil, had come for him and the next day that unregenerated old polecat, F. P. Baker, appeared in Troy, which proves the truth of the maxim, "Speak (dream) of the devil and he is sure to appear." The County Commissioners deem it desirable that the present poor farm be sold, and another purchased with the proceeds. The matter will be left to a vote of the people at the general election in November.

A vote will also be. taken at the same time as to the expediency of putting the herd law in force in this county. Mrs. Whitcomb's Syrup The great soothing remedy. Price only 2oc.

Troy, July 6th, 1872. Time and Enlightened Experience have shown that certain substances formerly used and relied on in medical practice, are unnecessary and dangerous: yet some of these substances have found their way into medical compounds. Dr. Walker's California Vinegar Bitters, however, contain nothing injurious, being composed exclusively of vegetable substances from California. For all disorders of the liver, kidneys, bladder, skin and digestive organs, and for purifying the blood, they are the most wonderful remedy known.

All who see It want It at once. Apply to VALLEY PUBLISHING St. Louis, Mo. Ui tm Last week there was a Grant rahy and flag raising at Elwood. A.

Disque bossed the job. During the excitement a team ran away, smashing a wagon and creating much disturbance. Nobody hurt. Peter Vergot, a resident of this place, got on a drunk last week, and commenced abusing his wife. Her father being close by, went into the house to interfere, when Peter caught up an ax and proceeded to reconstruct things.

Peter was arrested, plead guilty, and paid for his fun. The colored people had a Dall at Wathena on Thursday night of last week, which ended in a general row. A negro named Jones was badly cut with a razor, and a notorious character, Jim. Rider, fired two or three shots from a revolver but hit no one. The prize fight that occurred in town nearly two weeks ago, was a brutal affair.

Although G. W. Phares, a constable, stood within sight, he did not interfere, but as a crowd gathered, went away. Mr. Sam.

Smith, of St. and Henry Dockhorn, of this place, with the assistance of some others, put a stop to the row after twenty-seven rounds had been fought in the space of twenty-two minutes. Mr. Murrah, also a constable, would have arrested the men, but 'Squire Dixon advised him to wait until Monday, and when Monday came the men were gone. The people are highly indignant at the conduct of Dixon and Phares.

Constant Porier, who owns the largest vineyard in the State, has just completed a new wine cellar, 90x23 feet, and two stories deep, making it the largest wine cellar in Kansas. Besides the main cellar, there is an for storing bottles of wine, a packing room, 23x24, over the cellar, and above that a large room to be used as a public hall. The casks put in this cellar have a holding capacity of 10-080 gallons, which with those heretofore used by Mr. Porier, gives him ample room for the manufacture of 20,000 gallons of wine, which at New York prices, would bring him the snug sum of for his year's work. Mr.

Porier has also started a distillery, for the purpose of distilling fruit, and has two stills already running. He has enlarged and beautified his pleasure grounds, widened and deepened the fish pond, and pleasure seekers will find no better place to go to than the "Wathena Vineyard." The celebration by the colored people on Thursday of last week, was largely attended, more than a thousand persons being present. A resolution was adopted by the colored voters assembled that they would vote for no man for office who supported Greeley. Shortly after A. J.

Mowry, who is a flopper, and who will be the Washington township Moses to lead the colored men by the nose no more forever, attempted to make a "speech," and was informed that he was not wanted, and that his "case" would be examine! in the future. Mournfully he departed, muttering sadly, I never loved a colored man to glad me with his vote. But there came a chilling blast to bust me, j. aenoie. My faith in black is very light, And now I'll only trust the white.

One evening last week a young man arrived in town from Southern Kansas, having in his possession two ponies. These he wished to sell, and Drew Graham, a gambler, offered to find him a buyer, and referred him to A. J. Selover, who gave him $35 for one pony. No sooner did he obtain the money than Graham and two other gamblers, Spence Lewis and John Boston got him to drinking and playing cards, and won all he had, excepting five dollars, which he had given to a boy who was with him.

After losing the $30, he sold the other pony for $15, and soon lost that. Warrants are out for the arrest of Graham and Lewis. The young man is an inno. cent country follo-rr, and had no idea what sort of men he had fallen in with until he had been fleeced. He says it is the first time he ever gambled, and it will be the last.

If our subscribers trading in White Cloud desire anything in the grocery line, they should not neglect to call on Milton Utt. He has a fine, well assorted stock, besides glassware of all descriptions. He pays the highest market price for all sorts of country produce. He is a well known citizen of our sister city, and will not fail to give satisfaction to all who deal with him. Married Thursday, Aug.

1st, 1872, at the M. E. Church, in Wathena, by Rev. C. L.

Shackelford, Mr. Clarence Kearney and Mrs. Emily Fee, both of Wathena.
