Rooks County Democrat
Stockton, Rooks County, Kansas
Tuesday, July 5, 1887
ADDITIONAL LOCAL
- Jimmie SARVER spent the 4th at home.
- Miss Lettie HALL, of Webster, is visiting Miss Ollie LEWIS.
- Mrs. A. B. MONTGOMERY leaves for Jewell county on a visit to-morrow.
- Misses May and Dell HAGGART, of Osborne, are the guests of Miss Nell
BURGAN.
- Ed. W. HALL returned from Burr Oak last week and is now clerking for W.
A. BINGHAM.
- H. H. OLNEY now possesses the best bred stallion in Rooks county. See
pedigree in another column.
- The Kirwinites indulged in a drunken rally when they reached their
domiciles last Tuesday evening.
- A. S. OLNEY, the noted veterinarian of Minneapolis, came up Sunday
evening and appropriately celebrated the 4th with his brother H. H.
- M. E. COOK and Elmer DOW came in from Burlington, Col., to attend the
celebration. The boys never looked healthier in their lives, and we are
glad to learn they are prospering.
- C. M. NIQUETTE, a prominent real estate man of Osborne, spent the
beautiful 4th in the metropolis; the contrast between the two cities was
so great that when he took his departure he wept bitter tears of anguish.
- Ed. HOSTETLER, the genial cashier of the Bank of Jamestown, came up to
attend our jubilee, and gave us a pleasant call. He expressed himself as
immensely pleased with the magnificence of Stockton's elaborate display.
- G. B. FALCONER, the stalwart Democratic postmaster of Minneapolis, came
up Sunday evening to bask in the sunshine of his life-long friend, H. H.
OLNEY; from all appearances they spent the day in a very congenial
manner.
- When the Kirwin papers state that any citizen of Stockton was
dissatisfied with the manner in which our club acted last Tuesday they
deliberately make what they know to be a malicious misstatement. There
was not a spectator on the grounds but what knew the Kirwins were trying
to capture the game by fair means or foul, and being balked in the latter
they resort to gross untruths in order to apologize for their
unscrupulous conduct.
- Last week one of the Kirwin papers, in its effusions of billingsgate
characterized A. L. THOMAS, the manager of the Stockton base ball club, a
"puppy." The author of the article in making such an expression shows
himself to be nothing but a villainous blackguard, as everyone knows that
Mr. THOMAS treated the people from Kirwin as only a gentleman could and
did everything in his power to make their visit a pleasant one, but it
seems to have been a case of "casting pearls before swine."
- Uncle Joe McNULTY was chief marshal the 4th and under his thorough and
systematic management every thing passed off in a very harmonious manner.
Although the assemblage was immense, numbering at least seven thousand
people, not a single accident occurred to mar the pleasure of the day;
this was really unusual as generally some unfortunate occurrence
transpires at such large gatherings. Mr. McNULTY was ably assisted by
Dr. SMITH, A. H. JUDD and Mr. CUNNINGHAM, and they all deserve the
highest credit for the manner in which they cared for the welfare of the
people.
