Streets Traversed by the Pipes and Loca tion of the 11 jdraots. ' Messrs. Russell & Alexander hare completed the laying of the pipes for the water works, and through the kin-l-ness if J. II. Uibben, the city engineer, we are able to present herewith the locu tion and size of the pipe aa l the cor ners at which the hydrants ha-e been placed, as well as other interesting infor mation pertaining to the first water works in Kansas. The engine and pumps are to be lo cated on an acre und a quarter of ground a mile and a half southwest of the cen ter of Emporia nt the Cottonwood river, on a portion of land known as the old bfick. yard. The city engineer la now at work on the plans and specifications for the foundations for the engino-and pump, the latter being four in number. Workmen are st present engaged in digging the well from wlikh the supply of water is to be taken. The well is to be cylindrical in form, twenty five feet in diameter and twenty six feet in depth ; will be encased by a two and a half foot wall, and is located one hun dred feet frotn the river. Starting from the works at the Cotton, wood, an eight-inch pipe extends to First avenue, on Constitution street; from thence to Fourth avenue is a six-inch pipe, and to Tenth avenue a three-inch pipe; on State street, three-inch pipe from Fourth avenue, to Tenth; on Mer chants street, a two-inch pipe runs from First avenue to Tenth ; on Commercial, from South to First, four-inch; from Fourth to Seventh, six-iucb ; from Seventh to Twelfth, three-inch pipes; on Maiket a three-inch pipe from First to Twelfth avenue; on Union street, a two inch pipe from Fourth to Ninth avenue; oa Ex change, a three-inch pipe from Fourth to Ninth avenue; on First avenue from Constitution to Commercial, sj-i:ioli, Commercial to Market, tour inch-pipes; on Fourth avenue, from State to Consti tution, four-inch. Constitution to Com mercial, six-inch, and thence on to Ex change, three-inch pipe'; on Filth avenue, from Commercial to Mechanics, two inch pipe; on Ninth avenue a thrae-incb pipe, from Market to Ex change street; on Tenth avenue, a three- inch pipe from State to Constitution and two inch pipe thence to Merchants street; on Twelfth avenue, a four inch pipe from Commercial to Market. There are tweqty-eght hydrants, in place as follows: On State street at corners ol Fourth, Sixth, Eighth and Tenth aven uea; on Constitution, at corners of Cop ley, First, Third, Fifth, Seventh and Ninth; on Commercial, at corners of South, First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh. Eighth, Ninth and Twelfth; on Market, at corners of First, Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, Tenth and Twelfth; on Exchange, at corners of Fifth, Seventh, and Ninth avenues. Two more hydrnutH are to be put in, one at the river ; the loca tion of the other has not yet been fixed It will thus be seen that Emporia will soon be well supplied Willi mat most useful element, water, und that the pro tection from fire will be almost complete in nearly every portion of the city. As to the water power that will he ftiriii.sli- ed for light manufacturing and other purposes, the News has already received one of "Tuerk's Hydraulic Motors," to run its power press, nud it will he put in operation when the connection is made with the water. I.alh of Mrs. Elisabeth Holiermin, This venerable old lady died at her . residence in . this city on Suturdsy. February 51, 18S0; between three and four1 o'clock in the afternoon. She had reached the advanced ago of 76 years, having been born in Maryland, January a, 1304.. When a child she mov. ed to Ohio. She joined the Methodisf Episcopal church when nineteen years old, and was married February 23, 1823, to John II. Iloidennanv Mr. Holder man was bora in Pennsylvania, In 1770, and emigrated to Ohio in 130S, and died January 5, 1855. Mrs Hohlermaa came to Emporia in some of her child ren having preceded her. The funeral took place this morning at 10 o'clock from the family residence on Statcstreet. It was largely attended, Mrs. Holder- man having been widely esteemed, and her death, though not unerpected. caus ing deep sorrow. Her surviving chil dren, among whom are the well known Holdermttii Bros., of this city, receive the heartfelt sympathies of all their friend. Mrs. H. led a usel'.il and exemplary life., and died surrounded by her sous and daughters, whose presence and affection soothed her declining years. Hon. Geo. It. Wendliug will be here on Monday evening, March 8, as a sup plement to the "Grand Lecture Course." though independent of the same. He is one of the kinrs of the American plat form. Below are a few of the opinions of the press: One of the most successful and elo quent eH)3iiion ot gilded error we ever board, for more than two lioi.rs the audience, one of the largest and most inulliiient that ever cam" together in the opera house, was held ejrcl 1 bound by the orator.

By order of the president, tho next meeting will be held oa Thursday evening of this weuk, in stead of this evening. It U expected, the new books will be on hand 8. B. Schuyler, Secret iry. The old wooden sidewalks on Com mercial street are disappearing. I'erley has just completed a flag stone walk in front of his store and D. Thomas & Co. have taken up the old planks and are preparing for a solid footing for the passer by. We bear that the water works con tractors proiiose to attach hose to the hydrants in front of the Normal school grounds, and throw a stream of water clear over that building. This will be a very satisfactory test, and if announced In advance, there will be a big crowd to aee such a big squirt. ...Owing to a misstatement in the date, I reinsert the following: There will be a acklle festival held at the old Rioker ' school house (later known as tho Wells ' school house), on Wednesday evening, March 3, 1880. A fine time is anticipat ed and also a large amount of eatables will be present. We hope also to see our "Independent" writer and "ilannls" in our midst. Notwithstanding the cry of hard times It Is almost impossible to get odd jobs ot work done in any sort of decent manner. Workmen are plecty who seem to care for nothing but to pocket their pay. A large proportion of the men who depend - oa day's work cannot be trusted with work. Every man who dots his work to the interest of his employer, who is not a mere slouch, has all he can do ut fair wages. Company B, 9th K. V. C, met at the court house in Euaporia, February 19th, 1880. Meeting was called to order by the president, after which an election of permanent officers was made, with re sults as follows: President, W. O. Fer guson ; Secretary, J. D. Gibsou. A mo tlon by A. J. Burdick was carried re questing all members of tho 0th K. V C. to send in their claims against the government to the secretary. The meet ing was addressed by Isaac Alexander, ' W. O. Ferguson, A. J. Burdick, B. T. Myers, x oung and others. On motion, we adjourned to meet at the call of the president. J. D. Gibson, Sec'y. : We had a pleasant call Wednesday from Joseph Mulhall, Esq., of En nls, Texas, a friend of Frank Good- now's. He bas just returned from a trip to Silver City, New Mex ico, 425 miles southwest of Santa - Fe, and gives a. glowing account of the richness of the mines of New - Mexico, the fertility of the soil of her Tallies, and the healthful climate. He will dispose of bis Interests in Texas and return to that territory to live. The trip from Santa Fe to Silver City Is made by stage in four days and nights, but the Santa Fo road will soon be finished to Albuquerque, which Is 100 miles nearer to Silver City than Santa Fe. The Normal School. The State Normal School at Emporia, Kansas, is now on an independent basis. The plan of procuring the means tor current expenses has been to apply to the legislature each year, till the winter of 1875-70, when the financiers deter mined to reduce the expense of running the state -institutions, and consequently abolished the normal schools of the state, except the one in Emporia, but left that one without any means ot support. This same legislature, however, made a very liliernl appropriation for tobacco for the use of the convicts in the state penitentiary. Since 187(1 the Normal school at Emporia bus received its sup port from the tuitions received from pu pils. Much credit is due the president and assistants who lalxred so arduously for the building up of tho school ami re ceived only a small pittance us recom pense. A belter day Is dawning, una the prospect lor a nourishing institution to lie built up, which shall be an honor to our Btatc, is very promising. I here were ubout 40,000 acres of wild land set apart as an endowment, the interest which miirht accrue from the proceeds of the sale of this land were only to be used. Hv a determined cllort t i he board ot re rents. 20.H80 acres of this land have been sold for SO,178.8C which is hear- in s interest at ten per cent, ikt annum There is also a permanent fund invest ed ot f 18,500, yielding QIXIH per an num. This with the Interest on the land fund will make a total of !,245.c!j to be used annually tor the support of the school. 1 h:s Institution is now on solid footing and is not dependent upon tho action ot the legislature, wiucn may be composed of men who. through "old fogyism" or prejudice, will refuse aid, no matter now worthy orpuuiic support. We congratulate the regents of the Em poria Normal school und the people ol the state, that we have a school for the instruction of teachers that has the the means of support within itself Oxford Uellex. Attica Town Site. Many p iple may not be aware of the existence in o ir county if a town, or at least a site of a town, called Attica.' It lies abc at 15 miles southeast of Emporii. and adj'Hiiing the village of Hartford. There h..s rot been auch of ..a corner in town iots dowa there n several years, in fac: in liTTS. some 348 ol these lots, some of th-m corners, were sold . for taxes. There being no one who wished to bay even by paying tax, the county was obliged to kc i t own purchaser. Years went by and the county pl-iced to its own credit the taxes as they become cue. la isjS one U. n . bnider it seems took an as ii.mont and tax deed for these lots by paying twen y- five cents apiece according . to a special order of the county commis sioners. It transpired that the commis sioners were not provided with the nec essary net of legislature that enabled them to make "ncli an order till the laws of 1879 were e.iacted. Meanwhile Mr. Snider had transferred his interest to one of our fellow citizens for a pretty good sum about $200. The county commis sioners' made a new order similar to their former one. but under the new law which allows the treasurer and clerk to make assignments of tax tales made to the. county, on payment of what seems to the cornmissiont-rs u suitable propor tion of the t.txes, costs and interest. Friday last our fellow citizen comes in and takes a new assignment. The law provides that the original owner may re deem, in these cases, -any time within six months after asnignment is taken, by paying amount of -assignment and 24 per cent, interest per annum. On Satur day Asa Bancroft, the original owner, it seems, steps up and pays the $87 and interest from February 20, 1880, at the rate of 24 per cent, per annum, and the redemption fees. Things are looking np at Attica and it looks as though there was a joke on some one, or that some per son was out a little. AMERICUS ; NOTES. Edited by "Keno.' The Knights Templar. The fifth anniversary, annual reunion. ball and banquet of Emporia Coin mandery No. 8 Knights Templar was- held last Tuesday eening. The Knights displayed their usual hospitality, and with arrangements made, provided one of the finest parties of the season. Tho Emporia band. named after this worthy order, discours ed some of its best music, delighting the ears of those present und fostering the pride the citizens have in their own band. At nine o'clock the Knights en tered in full uniform for dress parade. After a short review und sword exercise, they took their ladies who, with them joined in the grand march. Then fol lowed the regular ball programme, par ticipated in by the hosts and guests alike. The floor was carpeted, with can vass and the excellent music furnished by Holmes' orchestra of five pieces, to gether with the good prompting of J W. Slarden, made this part ot the pro- cramme thoroughly enjoyable. An ele gant spread' and repast had been pro vided ut the lodge in Buggies & Plumb's building and the Kuights and their friends banqueted themselves to their hearts' content .between half"past ten o'clock and twttlve. Among the visitors from abroad we note Miss Gertrude Bullene and Miss Kate Smeed, of Lawrence; Miss Ellie Bond, of Americus; Mr. Joe Hankla, of Topeka, Mr. C. II. Pratt, of Humboldt, and Mr. John Holmes and wife, of C1 orado. The party was not as largely attended as the Kuights' reunions usually arc, but there were about fifty couples present, and everything was particularly pleasant and enjoyable. Normal Xrnte Tuesday, Feb. 24. Nothing new, particularly, since our last notes." Work is progressing and we are aim ing to have the building completeoTby Mareh 10th. The three main stories are ready for scaling. Doors and transoms are all hung. The way work is progressing, it will be but a few davs until we shall have 111 ; pleasure of bidding farewell to the Nor mal. Quite a number of our good solid vis- itors have pronounced the building, both inside and out, a good job everything looking well. Mrs. Perley and Mrs. North called last Monday afternoon. "Little Nellie" and Miss Ida Kiser called Friday, and ventured further than any of the girls that have called. To our surprise they ascended to the "bell deck" in the large tower. How they got there we cannot say, but they had a good time, and in fact, most of our visitors seem to enjoy themselves. ' We have been very liberal to our v llors by letting tluni do and go as they pler.se. but we vih to press upon tlic:r miiuls not t get too smart. Wc wish l complete and turn this building over to the state without any accident occurring. Every room in the entire building was heated b steam last Saturday, 'and there is no doubt that the heating apparatus in this building is far superior to that of the old one. Mr. James Con ley, who is in charge of the heating apartment at presenj, brouzed the boiler front yester day. - Painters tumbled to the roof ngaiu yesterday morning. Billy Thonins, the famous "pill" clerk of the firm of North & Byder, called Saturday afternoon, in company with his aunt, "Dinah," of Toled .

She was at first troubled with something like diphtheria, then at tacked by the measles, and very s.ion af ter by lung fever, the last of which we learn was the cause of her death. She was conscious to the last moment, and died apparently without suffering. Her remains were followed to their final rest ing place by the many friends of the fam ily from the vicinity of their home, and from Emporia. The processiion consist ed of twenty-four buggies and carriages, We had missed Katie for a lew weeks from our number, but were not aware that she was seriously ill until we learn ed of her death.

P. B. Maxson being secretary of the committee, no secretary was elect ed, ami Mr. Maxson not being present, no record of the meeting was kept except by the chairman. The chairman stated the object of the meeting to he the consideration of the suit brought against the old board of county commissioners to-rccover money lost in the sale of the A.. T. & S. F. rail road stock belonging to the county, and to determine what action should be tak en to further prosecute the case. Tiie meeting was slimly attended. The chairman presented a petition in the form of a resolution to the conven tion, for its consideration, which asks that the present board of commissioners aid the citizens' committee in every way possible in the further prosecution of the case, which was udopted by the convec tion aud ordered to be circulated for signers. Mr. Maxson coining in, tendered his resignation as a member of the commit tee, which was accepted, and Wm. Mc- Creary, of Fremont township, elected in his place. W. T.

The horticultural society met pursu-1 ant to adjournment, Robert Milliken in the chair. After reading the minutes. Mr. Milliken introduced and read his Wayside Notes. Tlie programme chos en for this meeting was taken up. Mr. Milliken being tho committee chosen, presented the subject of ornamental and shade trees for street planting, and only three or four varieties were considered sufficiently hardy enough to stand the knocks and bruises they become heir to along the sidewalks, to say noth ing of their being grown for cow prov ender. I wish here to add a few remarks and s:iy that it does appear to me to be a shame that as nice a cily as Emporia, to be compelled to stand out in the hot sun without being protected and ornamented with the beau tiful varieties of the pine and native shade trees, and all on the account, I am told, of the citj being partially used for a cow pasture. Enough on that subject for the present. After some discussion on the leading varieties of eXxfittt trees, other subjects of general interest being presented, were discussed wilh much interest. Entries for premiums being in order, Mr. C. D. Burdick presented two. vari eties of potatoes, and was awarded first premium on each class. On motion, adjourned to meet Wednes day, March 3, 1880. - C.

Ueilman, Esq., editor of the Pittshurgh Daily Republican, suffered with rheumatism for two years, aud lay many a night unable to sleep on account of terrible pains. Two bottles of St Ja cobs Oil cured him. Mr. F. i like, Lafayette, Ind., reports a caso where a man sudered so badly with l'heumatism that he could not move. Uis legs were swollen, and he had the most terrible pains. Twelve hours after the first application of the SU Jacobs Oil the pains were gone and the swelling had disappeared. Mr. Henry Schaefer, Millersburg, Ohio, was cured of rheumatism in the bins. ' Mr. F. R. Witt, Cleveland, Ohio, rheu matism in the leg. Cured after three ap plications.

Youncstown, Ohio, is full of joy over the wonderful cure of his wife by St. Jacobs Oil. For twelve long years she had suffered with neuralgia in the head, and often had the most terrilde pains. Half a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil cured her entirely. Mr. m. Reinhardt, Elmore, Wis., re ports as fellows: St. Jacobs Oil is re ally a wonderful remedy, for I could mention dozens of cases where it has proved its magical influence. One case In particular X wilt state: 1 know a man who has suffered with rheumatism for the last twenty-four years, and of late could hardly move around. After using a few bottles of St. Jacobs Oil he was en- tirelv cured. B. Seim, Esq., South Adams, Massv chusetts, writes: Allow me to inform youiiow much good St. Jacobs Oil has done in this neighborhood.
