The Independence Star, a Democratic pa A runaway occurred on Monday which For Nobby Hats go to Upham's. 45tf Dccrtaa Ilgnss. ST SCRIBBLER. i. might have resulted seriously, if not fatally.

Geo. IL Murray and Geo. Cook were driving to town, having a colt and a very lively horse for a team, and were in a two-seated buggy. About the corner of Mr. Dunnett's place the colt kicked, getting one leg over the tongue, when both horses started to run.

Mr. Murray tried to turn them into Dr. Powers' stable to stop them, but suddenly turned on almost reaching the barn, upsetting the buggy and throwing the occupants out, breaking Mr. Murray's wooden leg and bruising both up considerably. The team got loose from the buggy at Geo Howe's corner, and, after running another block, ran against a post and stopped.

The buggy was lying on its top in a ditch, with the bed broken to pieces and the top gone. Mr. Thomas Harrison, candidate for Probate Judge on the Republican ticket, was in the city a day or two this week. Mr. Ham son.

while we do not take him to be a brilliant man in any respect, would fill the position of Judge with honor to himself and his constitu ents. Me is a lawyer, and thoroughly under stands the laws of our state; is strictly honest in every respect; is a devout christian, and while administering the law we believe that be has the moral courage to see that strict justice is done to every man. Mr. Harrison is making a strong canvass, and we believe he will be elected. Wm.

H. Barnes, in calling attention to the fact throughout the county that he is "the peo ple 8 candidate for district clerk," is slightly on. We suppose that about the only people he represents is himself, as he would not go before the convention, but persisted in taking a course detrimental to himself and to his party. Mr. Barnes is a Republican, but that -r u- is no reason wny every xvepuuncau buuuiu support him: there is a regular nominee in the field who is entitled to the suffrage of his party first and last, and he will get it.

The comet may be seen very late on Sunday nights, and the best and surest way to see it is to sit up and watch. We are informed, although we will not state it as a fact, that one of our enterprising young men, with a young laoy upon wnom ne was very -sweet, waited and watched last Sunday night until the celestial visitor appoared in the east, when, after watching it for some time, an adjournment was agreed upon and the young man started off, managing to get home before sunrise. A new Millinery, Notion and Hair Dressing establishment has been opened in the front room over Heddens White's store, with Mrs. Falconer, of Parsons, as manager. The stock is entirely new, and embra ces everything required in the trade.

The stock is now open and ready for sale but Mrs. Falconer advertises a grand opening on next Thursday, and invites all the ladies to attend. Prof. G. B.

Leslie, of Cherryvale, Republi can nominee for County Superintendent, was in the city this week. Mr. Leslie is a man of undoubted qualifications; has been teaching in the county for a long time; is well Known, and, we doubt not, will poll a large enough voce to elect him by a handsome majority. Mr. S.

P. Strahan, Democratic candidate for District Court Clerk, spent a few days this week among friends in this part of the county We had the pleasure of an introduction to him on Monday evening, and find him a very interesting, companionable gentleman. We have about fortyhead of thoroughbred Merino Rams for sale cheap. Call early and get your choice and a bargain. Also some imported Hampshire downs.

All young sheep. Hollingsworth Bros. About ten miles west of Coffeyville. 2 The tickets lor the election on the 7tb of next month will read at the bottom "For the erection of public buildings." "Against the erection of public buildings." The public buildings refers to a new court house at Independence. Which way will you vote? J.

D. Hinkle, nominee for County Attor ney, accompanied by his brother-in-law, S. H. McDowell, of Salem, was in the city over Tuesday. John feels hopeful of making a successful race, and he believes he will "get there" hope so, at any rate.

W. n. Lewark has resigned as Constable of this township, and W. O. Sadler was appointed in his place.

Mr. Sadler filed bis bond, which was accepted, and he is now qualified to assume every duty belonging to that office. As an illustration of the immense trade enjoyed by Coffeyville merchants, a gentleman told us yesterday that on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week the firm to which he belongs sold $1,400 worth of goods, or $700 each day. Found. A calf-skin pocket book, on Monday last, containing a small amount of money and some papers good for money.

The owner may have the same by calling at this office, proving property and paying for this notice. 50tf Miss Clara Ruhle went to Grenola Wednesday, where she will spend the winter with Mrs J. W. McClellen. Clara will be missed from Coffeyville society, as she was one of our brightest and most pleasant young ladies.

The commissioners baye decided to submit to the voters of the county at the November election a proposition to vote a 3-mill tax for the building of a new court hous at Independence, the building to cost about $25,000. A new ground for diverce has been discovered in Kentucky, where an aesthetic woman accuses her husband of "impressibility of soul affinity," The poor woman ought to take him to a doctor and get him mended. Mrs. A. Vocke, living west of town, died on Saturday night, after a long and severe illness.

She was a most worthy lady in every respect, and her loss is deeply monrned by her husband and children. On the 25th of September seven horses were -stolen from W. Combs and W. H. Walker, of St.

Paul, Ark. Tbey were in the city Wednesday looking for two of them, having recovered five. The joy that wells up in a man's boson when he finds a long-lost 10-cent piece in his last winter's pantaloons is something that the poverty of the English language is inadequate to describe. The ladies ot Coffeyville, as well as their husbands and fathers, take an interest in political meetings. Quite a number of them were out Tuesday night to hear Mr.

Mr. A Guesnier, for a long time the landlord at the Indiana House in this city, has gone, with his family, to Oswego. Prohibition evidently prohibits in Coffeyville, as there is not a place in town where that which intoxicates may be found.

Mr. Ed McCorinell had a garden in his yard this season, and produced the champion beet it measured 2 feet in circumference. Millinery Opening on Thursday, October 19th, at the new store over Heddens White's all are cordially invited to attend. Bruiser shipped two cars of cattle Tuesday morning, and Mr. Singleton two.

Mr. Singleton went to St. Louis with them, and will visit Kentucky, h3 old home, before returning. per, of the Republican nominee tor District Judge in the following manner: "After about 400 ballots at the Republican judicial convention for this district, held at Cherokee this week, Geo. Chandler, of this city, secured the prize of a nomination that will no doubt be equivalent to an elect ion.

On the return of Mr. Chandler and the delegates last night, ho was tendered an in- lormai recepuon oy cia ieiiow citizens wivn-. out distinction of party, which was very largely attended, ana enlivened by the inspiring strains of the band. Speeches of congratulation were made, and everybody seemed to rejoico over the good fortune of our distinguished fellow citizen, whose qualifica tions tor the position of Judge are so evident to all who know him. In abHity, integrity, sound learning, knowledge of the law, and all the qualities which should distinguish a man holding this exalted position, he stood without a peer among the candidates who were his competitors in the convention; and should there be no Democratic candidate nominated, as we deem it exceedingly improbable that there will be, we are sure the Democrats of the county will be glad to give Mr.

Chandler a hearty and unanimous sup port for an office which should always be re garded as a non-partizan one." Dr. T. C. Frazier, well known in Coffey ville and vicinity as" one of our best physi cians, has quit the practice of medicine en tirely. He is now connected with the Kansas City Nursery Company as secretary and treasurer, an easier and doubtless more lucra tive position.

While the doctor many friends and patrons dislike to see him with draw from his old calling, they all wish him the best success in this new business. Among last week Coffeyville correspondence to the star, the following is tound: Dr. T. C. Frazier announces in a card in the Joubxal.

that, in consequence of other business engagements requiring all ms time and attention, he has retired from the practice of medicine. This announcement will he received with regret by many of the doctor's friends who fully appre ciate his merits as a physician ai.d his tious discharge of every dutydevolving upon him uy nia mcuicax proieasion. Kingston, October 11th, 1882. Dear Editor: As every good thing is welcome in Kansss. and there being so many humbugs practiced upon the people, when we happen on something of true merit we appreciate it all the more.

We have with us irrof. Burton, who has a large class in math ematics. He is a specialist, and the finest teacher of figures we have met. tie has with him also a band of music instrumental and vocal that surpasses the famous Wizzard Oil company. We learn that he expects to visit your town and organize a commercial school.

We advise everybody to give him a trial. SUBSCRIBER. Our exchanges from along the line of the in a riL a i rerniory are naea wim accounts oi uesiruc-tion caused by the "screw worm."

If we understand it correctly, the flies deposit their eggs in a wound in the flesh, and soon the screw worms appear; they resemble maggots somewhat, but are larger, and, after living a few days, drop out, and new ones take the old one's place Calomel, chloroform and carbolic acid are about the only things that ii ii i A win Kill mem out. As the Methodist church is now undergoing repairs, and will not be nt for use next bun day, through the kindness and courtesy of the Rector and members of the Protestant copal church, the.

Methodists will hold services in that church to-morrow, both morning and evening. The -morning service will be at 11 o'clock, and the evening at 7 o'clock. The Sunday school will bo at 3 o'clock. It is hoped that all will observe carefully this announcement andYiote the changes. D.

T. Summerville, Pastor. Our people were rather badly disappointed Tuesday night at not having the pleasure of listening to a speech by Judge Perkins, who could not come on account of his presence in court at Girard being necessary. The gentleman sent in his place, Mr. J.

of Oswego, gave us a very good extemporaneous speech, not having time to prepare one. Ho ventilated the Democratic platform pret ty thoroughly, and took a decided stand in favor ot the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. Coffeyville has a round $1,000 to donate to the man who will build a mill and elevator at that point. We understand that Messrs Grisham Blake will build the mill. We hope it is true and the work will commence at once.

Independence Tribune. How long since haye you taken such an interest in Coffeyville? It is really surprising, brother, that you could bo far overcome your antipathy for this place a3 to even mention its name except in the lowest terms. Considerable inconvenience is caused to parties having business at the depot about train time, either in the morning or evening, on account of there being too much for one man to attend to, and the railroad Company will not allow Mr. Judy any help. There is work enough at the depot here for two men, and if arrangements are not made whereby citizens can have attention when they are in a hurry, a grand kick will be made some day.

mb mmmmm hi a mm am The Independence Tribune of this week devotes about a quarter of a column to Cof feyville, misrepresenting a few things. We will ask the Tribune roan, how can men be arrested by local officers when they skip im mediately after committing a crime? Had the Tribune been disposed to read carefully it could have seen that there was no room for such comments as it made, When the maple turns to crimson. And the sassafras to gold; the moon is rohea in vapor, And the nights are growing cold; "When the days are getting shorter And the season getting late, lie sparks her in the parlor, And abandoned is the gate.

Secure bargains while you can. 60tf Mrs. Waun has been receiving a large new stock of fall and winter goods, and calls attention to the fact in other places in this isaue. We were mistaken Jast week in saying that the debate between Dr. Teal and Elder Padgett had come off at the Parker school house.

Rev. Mr. Rankin went to Burlington Monday. He will not return in time to hold services to-morrow, but will be on hand a week from then. The boys came out behind on their dance a week ago.

Dancing is not quite so interesting to the average Coffeyviilian as it was a year ago. What will be the next style in hats? The latest looks as though he wearer might have passed through a shower of rotten tomatoes and bad eggs. As Tate has been catching it from all corners lately, we won't say anything about that mckage that came to him through the mail ast Saturday night. Mr. L.

P. Heddens, brother of our townsman, J. M. Heddens, from near Burlington, was visiting in the city, with his family, a day or two this week. A.

F. Palmer turned the funds of the county over to Mr. E. E. Wilson, his successor, on the 10th inst, Mr.

Palmer made a good and efficient officer. Let all those who were disappointed at not hearing Judge Perkins speak take heart. It is expected that he will be here before the campaign is over. What are we going to do this winter for amusement? Some of our lively young folks should begin looking around. The long winter evenings will soon be here.

A pleasant dance was given in the dining room of the Eldridge House last night in honor of Mr. Davenport, the brother.of Mrs T. G. Ayres and Mrs; G. I.

Barndollar. Hon. J. M. Heddens and daughter, Annie, started to Topeka last Saturday morning.

Mr. will attend a meeting of the Grand Lodge of the I. O. O. F.

Varnum in Mr. Donovan's store one day last week, the particulars of "which would not be very interesting. When Mr. Varnum is released from I ail, where he now is in connection with his whisky conviction, he will be asked to answer charges preferred by Mr. Donovan.

S. V. Matthews, candidate for District Court Clerk oh the Republican ticket, was in the city a day or two this week interviewing: the dear yoter. Vol is a young man of good attainments, is popular among his friends, of which he has many, and is constantly making new ones. That he will be elected we have but little doubt; and are satisfied that he will make an efiacient and faithful ofacer.

A dance at George Kogei's last Friday night. A good crowd was in attendance, and they danced until the wee sma' hours, some getting home after sunrise. We understand that a young fellow got left the other night at the dance. He rodo about ten miles after a girl and then she wouldn't go. How's that.

Jack D. E. Baldwin, the former blacksmith of this place, now ot Plattesmouth, Nebraska, has come back to Deerton and rented the blacksmith shop for a year. He says Deerton is the best place he has seen. Mr.

Jacob Collier and Miss Grace Hunter were married at the Deerton Congregational church. They had the wedding supper Monday evening, and a dance afterwards. There was a good crowd in attendance, and they all had a good time. Prof Burton and his concert troupo showed here last Friday night, and after the concert the Professor organized an arithmetic school to be taught under the Professor's new method. He has given good satisfaction.

After the school is over he will give another concert. We would advise everybody to attend that knows the multiplication table. A very pretty piece of work with a fine pen executed by Wm. Barnes, of Independence, candidate for District Court Clerk, may be seen at Chas Hoffman's bakery. In several places the effect i3 spoiled by cards, calling attention to the fact that the executor is a candidate, and this is doubtless a "specimen of my hand-ritin'," as the school boy remarked.

The season for putting up stoves has arrived, and the numerous joints that fitted so well last winter and have been stowed away, are brought out only to find that they haye all concluded not to work any more, and the pious man thinketh a good deal, nnd the man of the world sweareth a little at the stubbornness of the average stove-pipe.
