Sherrick McCleary is the firm name and style of a new drug store just opened out. The proprietors are too well known to need a recommendation to the public. The regularity with which some of our young men attend church is astonishing.

hether they are anxious seekers after truth, or. being of somewhat romantic temperaments, the charms of the young lady attendants have decided their preferences is not for the writer to determine. A Kansas City merchant residing here recently, distinguished himself by coming home very drunk and pounding his wife, for which he paid a fine in police court He then went home again and repeated the dose, was again apprehended, gave his recognizance to apjiear in the morning, and then again thrashed his spouse ma leit town. Armourdale lias some he roic men. Chance Park was the scene of a shoot ing affray in which Thomas McMahon was fatally shot, probably by his son Daniel.

The shooting was no doubt accidental as far as the victim was aoncerned, as the inarrel was between Daniel McMahon and an unknown party over a drunken prostitute named Dora Farrer. Three shots were fired between the parties. The coroner's inquest found that the son did the shooting, and he was accordingly taken to Wyandotte jail Wednesday evening. McMahon died Monday evening, refusing to disclose the name of his murderer. Armourdale has been a cold-water-town the past week, much to the discomfort of everybody.

Were it not for onr sandy soil the streets would bo impassable. The three new tenement houses just west of the school building are nearly completed and ready for occupation. Armourdale is rapidly spreading toward the south. Several new residences have been built there during the past week. Rev.

Dr. Hanna preached an excellent sermon last Sabbath about the '-Sower who went forth to sow." And everybody complacently returned home, and nothing more as heard of it. Chance Park held forth to a much larger crowd, the bawds were present, whisky flowed like water, a man was murdered in cold blood, and the news spread far and wide, till even the school boys coolly commented upon the horrible deed. The street cars are now making through trips, thus relieving the passengers of the stockyard transfer nuisance. The "Percy" boys and girls failed to show up last Tuesday night on account of the rain.

They talk of trying it again next Tuesday night. The second month of school closed Fri day. Much good work has been done the past two months, and tho school bids fair to be a success this winter. An Oppressive Tax. The license ordinance as it now stands works a great hardship upon Mr.

Caley. He is compelled to pay $5 for every show or exhibition or entertainment for pay. This would amount to from $15 to $20 per week, or $(50 to $80 per month, a tax which no business in Wyandotte will stand when added to rents and ordinary taxes. Mr. Caley cannot stand it.

He must cancel his engagements and close the house unless the council remit such an enormous "fine." A Surprise. A surprise party took Mr. Thos. Roberts by storm last Friday evening. Mr.

Roberts was not at home when a party- consisting of members of the E. A. of which he was until recently, the presiding officer, and a number of friends entered and took posession of his home, and at once prepared to have a good time. After the usual preparations, Mr. and Mrs.

The newly-organized Woman's Christian Temperance Union, of Wyandotte, held its second meeting at the Methodist church, yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Logan presided, and Miss Jessie Lane served as secretary. The session was opened with religious exercises, Mr. Randolph Smith leading in prayer.

Mrs. Grafton and Mrs. Lane were appointed a committee on Juvenile Work, to consult and operate with Mr. Smith in gathering the children together. A committee was also appointed on puhlic'meetiiigs, that the most may be made of Mr.

Smith's presence in the city. A number of our leading ladies were present as members, and the session was replete with interest. Fruits of the Saloon, On Sunday night, at the disreputable place called Chance Park, in Armourdale, Thomas McMahon was fatally shot by either his son or a man whom the son was quarrelling with. Bad whisky and a bad woman seem to have been the cause. On Tuesday night, in a saloon near the state line, in Kansas City, a colored porter was shot and killed by a drunken man who had made a disturbance in the saloon at a late hour.

The man who was arrested for the crime was himself badly punished by the colored man. Rnfian, before lie received his mortal wound. Wednesday afternoon, in Wyandotte, while the mud, rain and snow made extra drinks for certain parties necessary, Charley Moraseh and Nick Soeder emerged from the saloon of the latter in a rough-and-tumble engagement. Nick suf fered from rocks, Charley suffered from a puinmeling; both were out in the cold wind when the police took them in for shelter before the police judge. Nobody illed this time, only a fine.

Next. Our Ticket. It is with great pleasure that we present to the voters of Wyandotte county the ticket nominated by the Republican con vention on last Saturday. Taking it all iu all, it is the best ticket nominated by any party in Wyandotte county for a num ber of years. Mr.

James Ferguson is a mature man of 4." years, is a man of courage, served in the war of the 12th Pa. Vol unteers. Co. and was one of the first to volunteer in Pittsburg. He has lived in Wyandotte for 20 years, is a good mechan ic, a car builder; he is a man of more than ordinary intelligence, having been for more than six years past continuously a member of the Wyandotte Board of Education, of which he is president.

All who know him will bear us out in the assertion that he is a man of integrity and energy, and will be fearless and upright in the discharge of his duty. For treasurer we could not at the present time have chosen a more fit man than Benj. Schnierle. He is familiar with the du ties of the office if correct, careful and obliging. He is competent and fully trust worthy.

He and his father's fami ly have been well know in Wyandotte for many years, and are highly esteemed. Ben was raised among us. His election to office insures a continuation of the policy adopt ed when the Republicans first elected a treasurer in Wyandotte county eight years ago. That policy put a stop to ring speculations in county warrants, and saved to the people individually, and to the county, thousands of dollars. That policy will be continued.

W. H. Bridgens, the present register of deeds, and of whom it can truthfully be said no better officer was ever elected in this county, was re-nominated without op position. It has been our pleasure to nave had a personal acquaintance with Mr. Bridgens since he first came to Wyandotte iu 1M'7.

He came to accept an appointment of Railway Post Office Clerk on the Union Pacific railway, which position he held with credit and honor for a number of years, when he was transferred to the Mo. Pacific R. and promoted to a chief clerkship, remaining iu that position until he" was elected register of deeds in 1881. We knew him during all those days to be one of the most reliable and energetic men connected with the post office department in the west. As register of deeds he is proven to be a most efficient and courteous officer, has made a host of friends and will be re-elected.

As nominee for county clerk we had expected write words of commendation for Mr. H. C. Stout, but Mr. W.

E. Connelly, the present deputy, was nominated. Mr. Connelly bears acquaintance. Those in the vicinity of Tiblow and Edwardsville who were acquainted with him for several years before he came to the city assure us that he will run far ahead of his ticket in that section.

Higher commendation than this we could not give. Mr. Connelly has certainly well filled the position of deputy, is a good scribe and has learned the duties of the office. He is developing strength whenever and wherever he meets persons who have known him heretofore, and is gaining friends among those who had not been acquainted with him. 'We heartily and emphatically endorse his nomination.

Mr. Lasley is a staunch Republican, is an educated engineer. His papers show this; his father was a surveyor and als.i trained the son. We believe he will conscientiously and carefully perform his dities. He is a sober, industrious and deserving man.

Mr. Lasley will be our next county surveyor. Mr. Lasley served his time in the war as 2nd Lieutenant in C. IL 53 Ohio Volunteers, until the battle of Shiloh, nhere he was severely wounded, and was mustered out ori account of permanent injuries from his wounds.

Dr. Vaila we do not personally know but have heard him highly spoken of by those who do. He is a well educated physician. and is in the proper location for coroner. G.

TJ. S. Hovey will be, and ought to be, the commissioner from the Third district He is business all over. His "20 reasons" against selling the poor farm, in last week's Gazette, are a sample of how he talks business. We are hopeful, we have no doubt of the election of our entire ticket.

But we base this belief on another fact, we believe all good Republicans will heartily, faithfully and conscientiously work for that end. All persona indebted to me are horAhv requested to call and settle by cash or note, inside of 30 dava from datA. my lumber yard and desire a settlement of necounts. umcs at lumber yard, old "tand. J.

V. ablenmaieb. Wyandotte, Ks Oct. 24, 1883. 1252-4L Pny your shot at the cheapest place on To Mr.

Jacob B. Schmidt the Gazette is indebted for samples of seven varieties of apples from trees less than ten years old. The Ben Davis were very large and solid. The Baldwins were as large and rich any we ever saw, and of the Janet the same could be said. There were also Wiuesaps.

Nonsuch, Pear main and others, all first class. Such samples of fruit confirm the assertion made to ns by President McVick-er, of Topoka, on Monday. ti 1 he, "I have long ago concluded tint the timbered part of Wyandotte county is the best pu of Kansas for fruit." We hops see tea orchards where there, is one, in this comity if we live fifteen years longer. Our enterprising orchardists, among whom we class Mr. Schmidt, are not only doing a good thing for themselves, but for the reputation of the county and state.

Goose and Gander. On Tuesday morning, City Attorney Mc-Gr-w was prosecuting a man named Krice for violation of the license ordinance recently passed. The attorney for the defense asked for a continuance of the case until next day, which was granted. Mar-hal Serviss then immediately arrested the city attorney for violation of the same os iliiKince. The idea that r-auce for a Kansas City goo-e was good for Wyandotte ganders didn't strike McOrew favorably.

The fun was immense; the marshal immediately gathered iu a brace of lawyers Messrs. Hale, Scroggs and Gibson. These will make a test case of it they are certainly able to defend themselves, though if they attempt to work upon the sympathies of the court they will have an uphill job of it. We hope the case will be thoroughly tested. then lie settled for all time to come.

Imported. It is reported that certain democrats have started the story that Benj. Schnierle was imoorted," three years ago. to run for the office of county treasurer. Well! If any of our boys, who have grown up in Wyandotte, who have been educated here, who may go to college for a few yeais to complete their education, and may then happen to engage in business in another state for a year or so.

can be "imported." and will then go to work, earn money, buy house and home, marry a Kansas girl, settle down, and become the choice of a large majority of the citizens of our county for most responsible oiliee why, in the name of common sense, let the work of importation go on. Kansas is a state chock full of importations, anyhow. From her very iufaucy to the present time the work has been going on. Cuite a little sermon could be preached on the importation business, biit we for bear. Don't, boys don't say it again.

A Noted Visitor. Of Mr. Randolph Smith who is now at the liyus, the T'opeka Ciijtitnl recently said: "John Adams, of the State Historical presented us a notable visitor yesterday afternoon. This was Mr. Stephen Smith, be'ter known by his books as Randolph Smith.

The gentleman is veteran journalist, and has been connected with many of our leading journals. He reported the trial of John Brown and his fellow prisoners at Charlestown, in and wrote an account of the execution of those heroes for the southern press. lie was compelled to swim the river with the "news" under tire of (Jut. Wise's militia. He was the father of little Percy Smith, the "boy orator of the northwest." and together they originated the Band of Hfpe temperance work among children, lie was in the "Ashtabula disaster." in 1S7C.

where P. P. Bliss, the evangelist, was killed, and where Mr. Smith lost his wife. In IS7S the boy was killed bp the cars at Galesburg.

Illinois. Mr. Smith believes that the temperance work of the future must begin all over again, with the children of to.day. He originated the Kindergarten temperance system, said to be the best yet devised for boys and girls. The visitor is at the Fifth Avenue hotel, and we shall see if tcmperaiica people avail themselves of hie presence in the State." Special Council Mootinft.

On evening. Oct. 22. the Wyandotte city council met pursuant to call to reconsider the action taken in regard to the Riverview bridge. A full council present except Kldi idge.

Mr. Sehiill moved the reconsideration of the action taken, which was carried. The city engineer was asked to state what such a bridge as the one uinlur consideration should cost. The engineer stated that he had carefully examined the plans and estimates and he thought tho bridge could be built for He admitted that beyond a fair profit he had allowed no margin as insurance against high water or accidents from such source. Mr.

Sehultz stated that the citizens had deposited $4,000 iu tho bank as their part of the for the west half of the bridge. Mr. Scroggs moved that the mayor be instructed to sign the contract, adding that the bridge company had all their property in Wyandotte county, and one of them had real estate in this city, hence they would do nothing wrong. Mr. Breunaii delivered a lengthy speech, being full of ideas he spoke of bridges, of Jay Gould, of ice, whales, and such other animals iu the Kaw.

He didn't know whether he had paid his taxes or not. He had no little hatchet to grind. He was not paid by the Gould party or any other party, but he favored the bridge. He was not called to order in his rambling all over creation, his vcte was needed to carry the bridge, hence the council acted wisely in letting him finish his "mean little speech," as he himself called it. Mr.

Scroggs added that the bonds were all legally voted. He wished the Kaw could be wiped out and its bed filled up to the stand pipe from Argentine to its mouth it would pay.
