Funeral Director ai Eialmsr White and Black Hearses. AND DEALER The city election yesterday passed off smoothly and the result was almost a sweeping victory for the republicans. It was a four-cornered fight, the Populists, Independents and Prohibitionists arrayed against a straight out Republican ticket. B. D.

Goodman is not only a lady who all delight to meet again, but has the honor of having been the first president of the Piiisburg society. She returned to her home the latter part of the week. The Hotel Stilwell Kennel club was incorporated last evening. The objects of the Association as stated by the charter are: "By importation and otherwise to improve the strains of Irish Setters, Spanish Pugs, Italian Grey-hounds, Grecian black and tans, and other animals of the canine species," also "To buy and sell real estate." The sisters of the Aid society heartily join in extending thanks to the brothers and friends for their liberality shown them for the benefit of the U. B.

church at the home of Bro. Eddie Long's last evening. A very pleasant evening was spent. After bidding good i.ight to all, they took their departure, hoping to meet again in the near future. J.

R. McKim's delivery team made an attempt to get away from James Alexander, the driver, to day in front of the Wear Coal company store. The attempt was a failure, however, but during the effort the wagon was run up onto the sidewalk and sacks of flour with which the wagon was loaded were strewn around in a miscellaneous manner. C. P.

Pierce's horse, which he drives to his delivery wagon, got frightened at the tugs coming unhitched and dropping down against his feet, while on south Broadway yesterday afternoon, and made a desperate effort to run away. The driver was too much for the animal. Before it w7as quieted, however, a broken shaft could be produced to show up for da mages. 1 Til. ATT33URG (US.) DAILY HEADLIGHT rzs osnts psa wjsbk.

W. K. Mosley, general superintendent of the Pittsburg route, with his family visited in the city last night. The election is over and although very little excitement was shown mm Republican Primaries The Republicans of Baker precinct will meet in Carlton's hall in Pittsburg, Kansas, Saturday, April 7th, the First ward, on the Independent Citizens ticket was the only one off of the Republican ticket that was elected, by a majority over the republican candidate of 95, and a plurality of 44. This is accounted for from the fact that he is a very popular man in his ward among all alike irrespective of politics.

The contest in the office of Treasurer of the school board was interesting, but Robert Robyn, Republican, won the day by a good round majority. The majorities and pluralities in all the wards are rather of a surprise to al! but the republicans, they knowing about what the result would be. The ladies turned out in a very satisfactory manner to exercise their rights of franchise, and quite a number of them voted for prohibition, which accounts in a great measure for the increase of that vote. The Populists did not make near the showing they had hoped nor did tiiey equal what they have polled heretofore. The Citizens ticket was made up principally of democrats and dissatisfied republicans and was a good ticket to draw from the dissatisfied in all parties, but did not seem to have the staying qualities essential to carry it through and out of the way of the Republican ticket.

The council now stands one Populist, two Democrats, and the balance Republicans. On summing up of the whole it is plainly seen that the Republicans are still in the ring better organized On any business in their AH cTheabses 1894, at 2 o'clock p. m. for the purpose of electing delegates to attend the Republican county convention to be line, it may save you both rtaliii 001liS? between held in Pittsburg, Kansas, April 14th, 1894, and to electa central committeeman.

It appears that the man having the room for rent had a daughter, a member of the W.

C. T. U. He wisely informed tne daughter that when the gentleman paid her four dollars more for rent she could give them the keys. But she thinking perhaps there might be something wrong, called the other ladies and awaited the arrival of the parties with their goods.

They had not long to wait, and when the first load arrived they found that they had not judged unwisely. The gentleman of course came and asked for the keys to his room, but the ladies handed him his dollar and kindly told him they could not rent a room in Opoiis for the purpose that they wished it for. The gentleman most politely refused to take the dollar saying "he would donate that to them as they had been to quite a bit of trouble," and quietly drove away.
