Letter List. Osage County Democrat. FUMITURE. CHEAP! CHEAP! CHEAP! i But a few days' residence in Osage City has convinced us that it is a thorough musical town three brass bands and as many vocal organizations. The "Floto Musical" is the name of the leading vocal organization, and it is hard to tell which is the best band.

They are all good. The colored folks have a good band and one which they should feel proud of. We have been in many parts of the country and can say it is difficult to find better musical talent than there is in this town. The miners of this city have instructed a committee to send out circulars asking the different coal miners of the state to co-operate with them in trying to adopt the eight hour system.

This space is reserved for Newman who will next week tell the people what great bargains they are offering. -The heated term will soon be upon us, and all over our city can be seen breeders of disease and pestilence. Some of our back alleys and out-houses are perfect cess pools of malarial poison, and a disgrace to our pretentious and boasted health commission. Let our smelling committee visit the outhouses adjoining the warehouse in the rear of the burnt district, retain their olfactories in healthful respiration, and take the cake. These matters should be looked after, as the, sanitary condition of our city is simply disgraceful.

One of the most pleasant social events of the season was a gathering of neighbors and friends on ednesday last, at the residence ot Mr J. H. Kibbe, about one and a half miles west of this city, the occasion being the eel-: ebration of Mrs. Kibbe's 25th birthday. Laden with handsome preseuts Mrs.

Kibbe's friends assembled to make merry and indulge in the pleasures of an event alike gratifying to all. After a brief period of social converse, various games and other innocent amusements -were indulged in. and dancing was enjoyed to its fullest. After partaking of a magnificent repast the happy guests gradually dispersed with feelings of grateful acknowledgment at having enjoyed pleasures that are only allotted to purest friendship, and all join in wishing Mrs. Kibba many returns of the happy event.

John Hughes, a miner in McCrea's shaft, met with a very painful accident on the 5th by which the index finger of his right hand was split to the second knuckle. To add to this misfortune the next day after the accident a film formed over the sight of his left eye rendering him totally blind by pain. He at once consulted with Dr. Packer, one of our city physicians, who operated on his eye and prescribed a treatment: Ih lWeo ty-four hours th film and pain had entirely disappeared. Mr.

Hughes was more than gratified and speaks in the highest praise of Dr. acker for saving his sight. Mr. Hughes is now able to do a little work, although his maimed finger causes him considerable pain. Whilst to a greater or less extent ev idences of destruction caused by the hail storm of Thursday of last week can be seen all oyer the city, the most severe individual loss was incurred by Mr.

J. Yi Laing, at his beautiful green house in the northern part of the city. The hail stones, some as large as hen's eggs, crashed through- his wmuows, breaking about 1,200 panes of glass, and destroying a large number of his choicest plants, whilst his outstanding shrubbery was almost stripped of its foliage, nd nearly 100,000 vegetable plants were destroyed. The pecuniary oss to Mr. Lain 2 is about $350.

but the real damage to him and citizens in the destruction of this stock far ex ceeds this amouut; but with Mr. Laing's known energy and untiring industry we hope soon to see the green house again the pride of our city. While at Burlingame last week we had so much business to attend to that twas impossible to get around and form the acquaintance of the business men and citizens. While we are fully aware there are a number of the pat rons of the Democrat who feel a little hard toward' us for moving to' Osage City, we wish remark right here, that in moving to this place, we done so, believing that we were bettering our condition, and not for the purpose of doing any barm or injury to Burlin game. We expect to publish the Dem ocrat in the interests oi Osage county, and in doing so we shall pay as much attention to Burlingame as any city in the county.

It shall be our endeavor to publish a paper that will suit the people, and in so doing we ask that you give us your heartiest support. When we get settled down to business we shall visit Burlingame as well as other towns in the county and shall try to meet you all. Meanwhile we would be pleased to have you send in your name and $1.50 for a year's subscription to the Democrat. Since our arrival in the city we have heard considerable talk about the fine orchestra the town had, which aroused our curiosity and we began making inquiries. We learned that it was a new organization, but composed of the best musicians in the town, Messrs.

no. Myles, J. W. Wall work and W. C.

Thompson, under the name of the "Hoo rro HrnrtADtva A ale fntml them to be courteous and intelligent gentlemen. They give dances quite frequently in our city which are well patronized and orderly and enjoyable to all who attend. We learn that it has been the custom heretofore with our people to employ music from abroai for their grand balls, but we are glad to learn that they are now employing home talent, which is as good if not better than that furnished by Topeka or Emporia. This is as it should be, and. we wish the Osage Orchestra sue cess.

Their next ball will be given at Howe's Opera house, Friday evening, May 21. Tickets hfty cents. For an evening of pleasant enjoyment those inclined can find no better place to go. A Card, Gentlemen and Fellow Workingmen: Through alarming depression of trade, over production of coal, and the consequent reduction in the price of mining, we, as workingmen, have decided to reduce our hours of labor. We, the miners of Osage City, Kansas, held a meeting, and are willing on and The "Evening Star Band" is to have its name changed, and will hereafter be known as the A.

R. Band." They made sweet music at Web's wedding Wednesday evening. Success to the G. A. R.

band. The Catholic day schools of this City and Scranton will meet the Burlingame School in that city on Tuesday.May 18th for the purpose of having a Union Picnic. May their pleasantest anticipations be fully realized. Dr. L.

B. Brown reports a very interesting meeting of the "Kansas State Dental Association, held in Topeka last week. Drs. Barrett, of Buffalo, N. Y.

and Patrick of Bellville, Ills, were in attendance. Mr. J. G. L.

Meyer, of Indianapolis, and Miss Leon a Sanderson were nnited in the holy bonds of wedlock on Thursday of last week, at the residence of the bride's parents, about twelve miles south of this city. The art class will give an entertainment on the 27th consisting of recitations and music by our local talent. No pains will be spared to make this one of the most pleasant entertainments of the season. Mrs. T.

F. McGuire and baby returned home Wednesday last after a lengthy visit with her parents and friends of Solomon and Junction City. Reports of having a good time and seeming to have enjoyed their trip hugely. Mr. R.

D. Webster has bought part of the block north California street, with view to building a residence on it. he purchase was made through the eal Estate and Loan office of Shaw Ross. For the past ten days or so George Nesbitt has been out in McPherson eounty looking after property he is interested in. Mr.

Nesbitt was there at the time of the storm Thursday last, but says no hail fell there. The carpenter work on J. W.W all- work's addition is now about finished, and all that remains to be done is the painting. We must -say that the work on the porch is fine and shows great taste in the workman, Mr. Bothel.

The attention of the readers of the Democrat is called to the business cards and advertisements of our mer chants, builders and others appearing in this issue. Read what they have to say and profit by the same in patronizing our own home interests. Messrs. Barry Hurst, proprietors of the Osage City Marble works, have just completed from an original design, by Mr. Norman, a beautiful granite monument, to be placed above the grave of Joseph Stott, one of the earli est settlers of this county.

The estimated loss of window glass in this city, occasioned by the nan storm on the 6th is placed at $2,000. Hardly a window in the north side of any buildiug in the city but received some damage, whilst there where those that were fairly riddled. A lady left her horse and buggy on Sixth street to do a little shopping on Monday last, she also left a fine speci men of the Plymouth Kock in her buggy. During her absence the chicken disappeared, and the question that now agitates the public mind is, who gobbled the fowl We will call during the coming week on our merchants, builders, manufac turers and business men generally, so- iciting a share of their patronage in the building up and support of our en terprise, which we shall use our best efforts to make conducive to the good of the public, our city and ourselves. penman have very kindly assisted in editing the editorial department of the Democrat this week, although their article is a littlelengthy it is just to the point, and contains solid facts, read it" carefully and pay them a visit and be convinced of their statement.

The weather signals displayed by the enterprising dry goods firm of Leh man add quite a metro pohtan appearance to our town. The printed instructions given but free by them should be carefully preserved, as they always give valuable information to those who will pay strict attention to the weather forecasts.
