N0TE8 AND OBSERVATIONS ON HATTERS AROUND TOWN. The people of this county are gradually awakening to the need of good gravel roads. The commissioners have contributed towards paying for the roads, and their action can but meet with approval. The latest gravel road project is that by which the Prairieton gravel road is to be connected with the gravel road ending at the Sullivan county line. The road will be four miles long and the cost is estimated at $4,000, of which the •county will pay half and the farmers in that vicinity the other half.

8|If any of the candidates are having a good time out of the canvass, Dr. Hayworth and Peter Kornman, the rival candidates for coroner, aro certainly two of them. At a democratic meeting in Fayette township, last week, Kornman, who •was present, was invited to make a •speech, an invitation he was not backward about accepting. He followed Dr.

Hay worth, who had dwelt on the point that a physician should fill the office of •coroner. Kornman admitted that in cases of sickness a physician was a necessity, "but," he said, "gentleman, when it comes to a dead man, think I can tell one about as well as any doctor." The point brought down the house.

Doesn't it seem that so-called "justice" has about run mad when a poor woman •with her infant is sent to jail on a trifling charge of provoke. This happened in aTerro Haute justice's court this week, and be it to Judge Mack's credit that as soon as ho learned of it ho ordered the •woman's release, saying ''ho would take the responsibility of discharging her oven if the justice should send him to jail for it." There's justice and justice, but it was a very poor article displayed in the present instance.

It is announced that the street car company will lay a double track, next spring, on the Main street and Union depot lino. It is also reported that the •company not satisfied with this will have

Main street condemned as a a public thoroughfare, and converted into a sido issuo of the streot car line.

The faro banks which have been in lively operation hero for some time are now closed up, the city marshal and tho superintendent of police compelling tho manngors to tako this step. Tho saloon keepers are not vory well ploased at tho change as tho running of a faro bunk Is money In their pockots. Tho sports will now havo to resort to poker, which innocent little aniusomont will doubtless bo nourishing in countless new places ere long—doing many times tho damitge that Is eauscd by faro. There is a great difficulty in tho way of pollcoln attempting to stop pokor playing. They will havo to tnako exceptions of some places tho game Is played or else have such a storm raised about tholr ears that they might well wish they had never heard of poker. What is sauco for the goose -should bo sauce for the gander, and if poker is to be permitted in one place it should bo permitted in another. Hut if there is to be gambling at nil it had better be faro than poker. No minors aro permitted in the faro rooms, whilo boys In their teens are the best patrons of the poker games.

It would sootn policy for the city council to contract for the coal needed In the several departments a little earlier in the season than at present. Quito a saving could be made if such a contract were made. At tho council meeting Tuesday night there were but two bids for the coal contract, both being so high they were rejected. The coal dealers' union will prevent any very low prices on coal this fall, and the city will havo to suffer along with the other consumers.

Leonard Mills met with a terrible •death at Cliff, Williams* Go's planing mill on Monday afternoon. He had ascended a ladder to adjust a belt, when his clothing caught In tho machinery and in an instant his body was wound about the shafting crushing and dismembering It in tho most horrible manner. The machinery was at once stopped and the scattered remains gathered together by his fellow workmen and taken to Isaac 1 tail's undertaking establishment, wore they wort} procured for burial. The employes of the mill attended the funeral in a body on Wednesday morning. Leonard Mills was one of a family of exemplary brothers, and was a good and useful citisen, whoso sad fate will be sincerely mourned. He was forty-one years of age and leaves a wife and two small children.

The directors of the Trotting Association have arranged for a new race for Friday—a irw-for-all pace purse, $500. Tills lets in several horses that have records too fast for the 2.,.X) class, and whose owners have written here asking to be notified in the event any race was arranged for In which they could enter their horses. With the free-for-all trot on the same day, the attractions will be something unusual, even for more pretent ions race courses.

He went out hunting the afternoon previous, and it is supposed blew in the gun to ascertain if it was loaded, with the result which has so often followed this act.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING

South Hutchinson.

The C. B. St Q. now an assured fact.

The O. B. ft P. locating: party are driving: their grade stakes between South Hutchinson and McPherson.

The Ft. Smith, Wellington and Hutchinson road are letting their contracts

The Gould Road from Salina are grading.

So Says the Chicago Times.

So Says the Topeka Commonwealth.

So Says the Hutchinson News.

SO IT MUST BB I

We would advise capitalists and those seeking land investments, also merchants looking up a business locality, to call on Ben Blanchand, President of the Inter-State Investment Co., No. 10, South Main street. The company is now offering Main St. business lots, 25x150, for $150 to $250. Residence lots, 33x155, from $25 to $200. South Hutchinson is booming. Building is going on rapidly. Ten more new stores and forty dwellings, are contracted for, and everything indicates prosperity and success for the new town It is estimated that $50,000 will be spent in improvements before Jan. 1st, 1887. 100,000 brick are now being burned on the ground, when the erection of brick buildings will be commenced at once. We suggest to those wanting lots, to buy at once, as prices will be advanced. —Hutchinson Daily News. Oct. 4th a|

The A., T. A S. F. officials in their confidential talk say South Hutchinson is THE COMING TOWN.

The chief engineer and secretary of the A., T. A S. Fe arrived there in their special Pullman and remained over night, leaving next morning on a tour of inspection of the C. K. A W. to Kinsley also, the Gt. B. L. R. fc L. extensions. They expressed much surprise at the improvements made in so short a time and were strong in their assertions that South Hutchinson was the coming town of southwest Kansas. They intimated that ere long we would hear something drop which would give this still a bigger boom. Along with these facts, which mean more than we are at liberty to tell, we learn that the C., B. A Q. ABE COMING TO SOUTH IIUTCH-

Vinson*

f-% jJ

The directorsof the Salina A Hutchinson extension of the C., B. A Q. met at Emporia on the 3d. The board was organized with A. L. Forslia president: This road is now an assured fact anf before long a survey party will be in the. field to select the route, which after being approved by the executive board, will be adopted and rated. The Chicago Times in speaking of this says: "The Rock Island by going into Kansas has forced the C., B. A Q. folks to do likewise. They now run to Concordia and will extend at once to Salina, Hutchinson and the south line of the State on through the Territory. As the Rock Island goes to Hutchinson this will give that point a big advantage over any other town in tho State." In addition to all this we road that the

ARE COMING BIGHT ALONG.

Tho Topeka Commonwealth says that the road bed is being leveled up and the track laid as fast as possible. The steel rail for the road is being received at the rate of thirty cars per day. Over 5,000 men are working on the road bed and ere long they will be in South Hutchinson. If the winter is favorable they will not bo delayed in pushing forward their work from that point south. The rolling stock is all contracted for and we can almost hoar them coming. Soon we will hear the conductor call "South Hutchinson, change cars for Kansas? City, St. Louis, New Orleans and Denver this car goes straight through to El Paso." ^re we dreaming? No, we are reading a dispatch from Little Rock, Ark., to the St. IiOuis Globe.

survey has been completed from Ft. Smith, Arkansas, through the Indian Territory to Arkansas City, Kansas. The bonds have all been voted for the extension of the road from that point ISO, miles through Kansas. The*preliminary work has all been done as far as South Hutchinson, and if the winter is favorable the road will be far advanced by spring."

When we are telling you of all these railroads you must never forget that they are all

THROUGH TRUNK LINES.

The A., T. A S. Fe from Kansas City to California, the C., R. I. A. P. from Chicago to El Paso, the C., B. it Q. to and from the same points, the Ft. Smith, WeHIhgton fc Hutchinson from New Orleans to Denver.

The Missouri Pacific officials say that when their road, which is now feeing extended from Salina through South Hutchinson and on to El Paso, is completed it will then he the main line of the Missouri Pacific. A similar assurance was given by the same men when we voted the $50,000 to. the Wichita A Colorado, and let ns see how they are all in the habit of doing. Last Monday, the hew through fime card of the Missouri Pacific, or more properly speaking, the Wichita A Colorado, went into effect at i2K6« and Hutchinson now, for the first time in her existence, has a through train to St. Louis. This has been made the main line, and the line to Anthony is now the branch, giving the W. A C. a fine line of coaches including Pullman sleepers and chair car. There will te

three trains a day each way. The officials have done just what they said they would—make the Wichita A Colorado the main line and give her through sleepers and chair cars to Kansas City and Si. Louis.
