Jessie CALIHAN returned yesterday from Chicago. Mrs. I. J. LEWIS and daughter are on the sick list. The infant child of Alex BOWIE was buried yesterday. Joe SHORTER returned from Colorado this afternoon. C. W. FOWLER and wife left for Colorado yesterday. Col. D. S. YOUNG came down from Topeka yesterday. Rev. Mr. BENNETT has returned from his summer trip. Rev. Father KUHIS returned yesterday from Pittsburg, Pa. A woman and her crazy boy were around begging yesterday. The goods of W. H. DAVIS were sold yesterday at sheriff's sale. Call and examine the new goods arriving daily at FRIEDBERG Bros'. A car load of corsets just received at HOAG & TROUP's and more to follow. Sultana, the best nickel cigar, at C. BERNHARD's old reliable news-stand. Miss Gertie LOOMIS was "surprised" last evening by a party of friends. Mr. & Mrs. ANGIER, of Cleveland, O., are visiting the family of I. J. LEWIS. A party of young people left last evening on a fishing excursion to St. Joe. James KELLEY and Katie LANGSTON were married yesterday by Judge ANDERSON. The Rev. PAYNE, of the Methodist church, south, preaches his farewell sermon to-day. Two boys were up before the police judge yesterday for running horses on Fifth street. Wm. ALBRIGHT, county treasurer, and Chas. GERHARDT went down to Reed's Springs yesterday. All of the Wyandotte township bridges that were washed out by the late rain have been rebuilt. Christ BERNHARD has just received a fine and complete stock of new stationary and notions. G. W. HOFFMAN and wife, of Logansport, Ind., who have been visiting the family of Councilman SCOUT, returned home last evening. Notwithstanding the hot weather the amount of business done by LENINGSTONS, the shoe men of Kansas City, Kan., is positively amazing. Cutting down prices does the work. Some sneak thief has been making nightly raids on Armstrong street, breaking open houses and barns. The county commissioners met yesterday, and awarded the contract for coal to W. P. OVERTON and ordered the bridge to be repaired at once on the Kansas City, Kas., side under direction of Capt. BISHOP. And it is well that they did. Already there are nine holes in the bridge and there is a report that Commissioner JOHNSON dropped through a hold into the water below and floated ashore on a watermelon. Commissioner MALOTT fell through another hole yesterday, and promised that if he got ashore he would vote for the appropriation. Perly PIKE rescued him. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)
