THK VKKNCU riCTB DAY.
Tke Celebration of the Deetr action of tne
r reach Bmetlle, Hear Readme
Yeeterdey.
Yesterday 'was a gala day for our
French friends In this county, the occa
sion being the celebration of the taking
and destruction of the French Bastile,
h ten Occurred on the 14th of July,
1788. This hostile was a state prison
and citadel of Paris, and was built In
the year 1370 by Charles V Additions
were made to it by several successive
kings, and it was surrounded by a wide
ditch. Anions: its prominent features
were eight round towers five stories
high, having walls twelve feet thick or
more. In these towers were many cells
for prisoners. The inmates
4 . this ' prison were geuerally
noblemen, authors, politicians, etc., who
bsd not been legally convicted of crime,
but were victims of royal jealousy, po
litical desHAism, court intrigue, oc ec
clesiastical persecution. The only
formula nsed in condemning a man to
the Bastile was the Ullre tU eathet.
Among the eminent men confined here
were Voltaire, Robespierre, and the
man in the Iron Mask. The prisoners
were left in ignorance of the cauae and
duration ol their punishment, and were
completely debarred from intercourse
with their friends. The first violent
symptom of the French Revolution waa
the destruction of the Bastile,
which the populance took by storm
Jul 14. 1789. They killed the governor,
De Lanuay, and released the prisoners,
who were only seven in number. It was
this great event that the French people
of this county celebrated yeslerdsy at
De Baugu's grove, four miles north of
Iteidlng. The celebration of this occa
sion properly comes on the 14th, which
was Isst Saturday, but in order to ac
commodate those who could not be
pretention that day, and could yesterday,
was postponed to the latter date.
Frenchmen of high and low degree, to
the number of about 150 assembled
at the above . place yesterday
and enjoyed themselves as only French
men can. They had a royal feast at
noon and at 0 o'clock they had another
elegant repast, which were partaken of
while the Florence band was discours-
ng sweetest music. A number of ad
dresses were made during the day. . Mr.
I'hilmon, a prominent lawyer of Flor
ence, and Air. He lssugc, on whose
premises the celebration took place,
were the principal speakers, and they
spoke words which fired the patriotic
hearts of their countrymen, and sent
thrill of pride through them skin
to that which the true American feels
when contemplating the bold stroke tor
freedom msde by our forefathers on
what ts now the grandest national boll,
day in any country under the sun. The
festivities were continued until late at
night, there being a good display of fire
works in the early part of the evening.
Altogether it was a very triumphant oc
casion for our French brethren, and we
hope they may live and continue to feel
Bufllclent, pride and patriotism to' cele
brate this day as It should be on each
iccaaioa ol its recurrence in the years
to come. We are under many obliga
tions to Mr. John Perrier, who st tended
the celebration, for ' the most ol the data
from which this account of the eveut is
made up.
Tha K. T. Hand Will Oat There.
Col. Feighan received the following
telegram to-day from T. J. Anderson, of
Topeka: "We will take the Emporia
band, now many tickets wanted ?"
I So it is a settle J fact that the Knights
Templar band is to go-to Denver to take
part la the great Grand Army jubilee
which commences on the 24th. As
some one expressed it the other day, it
will be worth dollars to everyone going
from here on that occasion to know that
the K. T. boys are among the hundreds
who will be assembled there, and espec
ially when it comes to listening to the
splendid music which will be character
istic of that occasion.

THK CITY'S rUKCHASI.
The proposition of Mayor Warren to
sell the old Fifth Avenue hotel property
to the city tor $3,500 was accepted by
the council at Its meeting last evening,
the vote standing five for to three against
the purchase. The property embraces a
lot with a frontage or 105 feet on Fifth
avenue and 100 feet deep, with the build
ings which have for - years been occu
pied as a hotel. It is the purpose to fit
Mu se up for an engine house, council
chaintters, police judge's office, &e.t
which the mayor states in his com
munication can be done by
sn expenditure of $200, or there
abouts, and by this means save rent to
Ihe amount of between S400 and f 500
per annum, which the city is paying for
an engine house and offices. By thus
remodeling the buildings it is the pur
pose to make them do service until the
city is in shape to erect permanent im
provements on, the ground in question.
As we haye before stated, Tbr News
did not favor this purchase, preferring
to see the city erect. In time, a suitable
building on its lot at the southeast cor'
ner of Sixth avenue and Merchants
street, which fronts on two of the lead
ing thoroughfares of the city, and is, in
our - judgment, a most eligible
location for the purpose in question,
and we believe that such was the wish
of quite a majority of our citizens. The
objection urged to this plan was a lack
of room, and this is what probably de
cided the council in choosing the Fifth
avenue location. We cannot say but
that the property is cheap enough at the
money, and we do not -think that the
city can possibly stand a chance of los
ing anything by the investment. There
is a very general sentiment, however.
among our cttizeus against the pot
icy of investing in old buildings, and
we hope that veiy little outlay will be
made upon those purchased last evening
as they will have to be removed in a few
years to give place to a structure which
shall be more in keeping with the gen
eral character of the architecture in this
city.
The city will now sell the Washing
ton Park lots and its Sixth avenue lot.
and will proceed at once to make the
necessary improvements on its Fifth
avenue property to make it available for
municipal purDOses.

THE SECTION.
There are a good many good sections
of land In Lyon county, but there is one
known as the section. This section em
braces a scope of country on the head of
Eagle creek, one of the finest streams of
water in the county. The section from
which the settlement takes its name waa
taken by some parties under the home
stead act about fouiteen years ago and
all enclosed under one fence. Then it
was the only improved section
of land for miles around. I believe
that every one of the homesteaders
haye sold out and moved away. They
turned the sod, planted orchards and
hedge-rows for others. One of the orig
inal settlers, Wm. Stewart, lives near
Safford. A good many other sections
around have been bought and improved
since, so the section now embraces a
large scope of well-improved country.
There are several well-to-do farmers oa
and around the old section. Speculat
ors are holding a good deal ol land
around about and thus furnish plenty of
free pasturage lor the settlers. . In this
wsy the stock men are getting some re
muneration for making, the land
valuable for the non-residents
There ia a good school bouse oa the
section and the Methodists use it for
church and Sunday school purposes.
Rev. J. H. Price, of Madison, preaches
for them every two weeks. . We held an
interesting, and we trust, profitable quar
terly meeting there Saturday and Sun
day last.
There is a large breadth of corn
planted in this vieinity, and it now
promises an abundant crop. Two good
rains last week about Insure the early
planted corn. There ia also a large area
of millett sown, which is nearly ready
for the mower. The sectioners are pros
perous and have herds of cattle and
sheep. C. R. R.
We do not quite agree with Mayor
Warren in his ideas as to the influence
of an "exchange" which is to be oneot
the features of the city building of the
future upon the promotion of temper
ance reform. We so far believe in the
good old orthodox doctrine of original
depravity as to entertain the belief that
men will go to sal ions to make their
trades and talk oyer their business mat
ters as long as such places of resort are
available, and we haye more confidence
ia a vigorous enforcement of the laws
for the suppression of gin-mills
as a means of keeping ' trail
humanity out of the reach of
temptation, than the institution of
such counter attractions as our philan
thropic municipal executive proposes
Public reading rooms and cheap refresh
ment counters are a good thing in their
way, but they will never circumvent
the whlekyites or put any nails in th
coffin of the liquor traffic. What is
needed Is for the authorities to put the
screws to the violators of the prohibi
tory law and make it so hot for them
that they will be obliged to retire from
the business. A vigorous movement in
this direction would beat an "exchange
room" by a big maj o'rlty, as a practical
test of the plan will prove.

The msyor read the following:
Gkntlemrn: At the last meeting or
this council I called to your attention
the fact that I had purchased the prop
erty known as the Old Fifth Avenue
hotel fronting on the avenue, 105 feet
by lOU feet deep and proposed to
turn it over to the city for the same
price $3,500 If, in your judgment,
you thought the city ought to buy
ib - a nsaeu you to consiuer tue m al
ter until this meeting, when ' action
would be taken upon the question.
This was done for the reason that I am
determined that ho secret session of
this council shall determine any ques
tion ot importance to tne citizens ot in is
city, and that each and every one of you
might vote understand inely upon the
Question.

at the time I canvassed the central por
tion of the citv thoroughly, and 1 found
mat wis property was oy lar tne cneap-
cbs w auyuuBg uuu wuuui WR'a to an
swer our purpose, unr property on
Sixth avenue has been joined by a divis
ion last year, ana is now not large
enough for city uses. My judgment is
tor ns to sell the Wsshlngton park pro
perty with the boarding houses, for
wnica no rent has been received, also
the Sixth avenue property and in time
to erect a city building with a full 105
feet frontage. In the meantime we can
use it but with very little repairs not
to exceed f 200, as 1 am told by one
ot our best builders, and thereby save
tne citr toe annual -rent ol over
$400 that the city has paid for so many
years.
say action in tnis matter nas oeen crit
icized as I expected it would be. But
you will. 1 trust, understand that 1 owe
no allegiance to any particular section of
tnis ctty, or to any man or set oi men,
ana wouict bare purcnasea tnis proper-
tyas quickly on Sixth avenue as on
Fifth, if it could have been obtained. I
nave advised with no one but yourselves
on the matter, and no one has approach
ed me on the subject. In tact l am not
getting much advice now. I own no
property on either .avenue, ana l think
the owners of property on Fifth avenue
were as moch surprised ss anybody
when it was said the city might possi
bly own it, I bought the property for
the city ss any business man would buy
property, and do the talking out
side afterwards, If any hss to be
done. I would like to see erected on
that property a. build ing with a full 105
feet front, to contain room for all the
that our city will ever need r the
fire denartment to rerrulre at least five
men to sleep in the building; to contain
tne city clerk's omce sad police head
quarters and jail; the police court and
waterworks superintendent, and such
other requisites as the city may need.
Ia addition to this 1 would like to see
a portion of this Wilding set apart for

such a building and you have driv
en the first nail in the coffin of the
liquor traffic ol Emporia that has ever
been driven. Men do not as a rule
drink whisky because they like it. But
men. are social beings and when the
man from one portion of the county
meets in Emporia his friend from some
other part of the county and they want
to talk over old times or trade horses,
tnere is but one place in Emporia where
they can go, where the owner always
smiles, where it is warm in winter and
cool in summer, and that is the saloon,

so by their ballot.
I do not expect to see this building go

ing the last three months, got things in
to pretty good shape so that we can be
gin to see daylight ahead. It by the
strictest economy and close attention to
details by the committees we can man
age to live within our means and save
some money mis year, l turns by an
other year we ought to save enough, to
put it up. it not tue next council can
use the old building if we can.
- Gentlemen. I have told vou what I
think about this matter; not to influence

out as tue mayor ot the city 1 would

it makes no difference to me. I do not
own it only so far as my contract with

man who says I have a selfish motive
in this matter, or hss said it. does not
know me, and I will not trouble to an

The commiFsIoners Wednesday decid.
ed upon the style of .fountain for the
court house yard, and made a very judi
cious selection of a large iron Acan
thus fountain, with threeepans, the first
of which is six feet in diameter, the sec
ond four feet, and the third three feet
The height of the fountain which is sur
mounted by a Cupid horn-blower, is
fourteen tec-t and two inches. The base
is three feet and four inches
iu diameter and is orna
mented with flowers and stork eg. The
basin will . be of stone, octagonal in
shape and will be fifteen feet In diame
ter. The height to the first pan is four
feet and eight inches ; from the first to
the second pan, two feet and three tneb
es; from the second to rhe third pan,
two feet and three inches.
The con ti act for the stone work was
awarded to Pickens & Summers. Dep
uty Sheriff Beers will do the excavating
free of charge with the' aid of the prison
ers, and the fountain, which will be pur
chased of J. L. Mott & Co, will be ready
to put up by the 10th ot August. Its
total cost will be $550, aud it will be an
improvement that will show for the
money.
Our indefatigable friend Beers, who
has worked hard to secure the fountain,
now proposes to have the north side of
the court house yard ornamented with
an equestrian statue of Gen. Lyon, end
has already devised a feasible scheme
for the accomplishment of that end.

SKETCHES IN SANTA FE.
That Ancient and Interesting City aa
Viewed by aa Emporlaa.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, )
juiy to, 1883. )
To tne Editors or TBI Ns w :
Contrary to the expectations of a lot
of exacting landlords, this old town is
not filled with tourists and sight-seers,
but, excepting a number of fire com-
panies attracted hither by a grand tour
nament from the neighboring towns of
the territory and Colorado, a yery few
are to be found wandering around ex.
amining the points of interest coming
down from a civilization of centuries
ago. Santa Fe, like all these Mexican
towns, is made up of a plaza or public
square, a combination of narrow, crook
ed, irregular passages called streets: a
lot of -one story adobes, with aa
occasional building, more pretentious
Ui its architecture. The few buildings
of this latter character to be found here
are principally the schools and hospital
building connected with the Catholic
mission, the cathedral in course of con
struction, which is a fine specimen of
architecture, a few business houses and
one good hotel building,
The curiosity of the sight-seerer is
principally confined to the Governor's
Palace and two old churches that claim
to be very ancient. The palace would
not be termed very palatial, even in this
country in this day, but was doubtless,
in its time, quite stylish and comforta
ble, but when yon go inside of these old
mud churches, built two or three hun.
drcd years ago, and examine the quaint
old carving on the beams, you are con
strained to admit the possibility of the
truth of their claims to antiquity.
One of these is now being enclosed by
the walls of the cathedral to which I
have already referred, and although the
walls of the new building are up and
ready to receive the roof, the old still re
mains intact, except on either side
where the workmen haye been compell
ed to cut through the walls to put in
place two massive columns to appertain
ing to the new building, the old building
being still occupied lor service, at least
occasionally. The greatest interest,
however, attaches to the old San Miguel
church (pronounced "San Magfl") which
is said to be more than 300 years old,
and which is still in a good state of
preservation inside, although the outer
walls show signs of yielding to the rav
ages of time. Like the former, this is
still used for service and upon payment
of a fee or 2a . cents, visitors are
permitted to go through and examine it
and all of its belongings. You are
shown the old bell, cast in 1350, and
looking rude enough to have been
evolved from that primitive age: also
an inscription on a beam running across
the building and supporting the gal
lery; and two old paintings of the an
nunciation, the age of which is unknown
but supposed to be much older than the
church, all of which may or may not be
true.
Having taken these all in early in the
day, I was ready at the hour of open
ing for the Tertio-Millenial celebration,
which for the benefit of any of your
readers who may not already know, I
would say is designed to be the celebra
tion of the 333d anniversary ot the occu
pation of this place by the Spanish.
The grounds upon which the exposi
tion are being held adjoin the govern
ment post corral and are well adapted
to the purpose. Upon entering, the first
thing that attracts the attention is a
gambling tent, open to all the world,
where every facility is offered for get
ting rid of your surplus wealth. Ad-
oining this and immediately in the
rear of it are the camps of the Apache
and Zual Indians, where you can see
Indian camp life, somewhat rose-color
ed, I have no doubt. Passing on you
come to a large two-story stone building
about 40x100 feet, in which are the offi
ces ot the managers of the exposition,
and two rooms set apart for antiquities,
and here were to be seen a variety of
antique and interesting articles old
books brought fiom the old Catholic
churches; old hide trunks curiously
constructed, one ot which has been hand
ed down in the same family since 1598 ; a
sample of. printing said to have been
the first done anywhere west of the Mis
sissippi valley; a specimen of gold lace
that has been in the old church at El
Rlba over two hundred years ; a rifle gun
presented by Kit Carson to Montezuma
Lodge, No. 109, A. F.& A. M. years sgo ;
and a great number of old "pictures, any
where from 200 to 500 years old, some
on canvas and some on elk skins, to
gether with a great variety of other rel
ics or greater or less interest.
Leaving this we enter the main expo
sition building, which is of wood, tern-
po rarity constructed, about 50 feet wide
and some 500 feet long, and well adapted
for the purpose. Here are gathered to
gether and arranged by counties splen
did specimens ot all the minerals to be
found in the territory coal, iren, cop
per, gold, silver, lead, &c.
A huge block of bituminous coal about
six feet in thickness evidences the rich
ness and abundance of that valuable ar
ticle which will, no doubt, - prove a
source of great wealth to this part of
the country. Of the specimens of gold,
silver and copper ore exhibited I cannot
say more than that to me they appeared
be be very superior in quality and - al
most endless in ' variety, and constituted
yery large part of the 'display.
There were very interesting and beauti
ful collections ot natural curiosities in
birds, animals, vegetable collections and
geological specimens; large .collections
of specimens of Indian pottery, of very
quaint designs, but in some 'instances
showing a good degree of artistic skill
and n marked effort at imitating modem
styles. . . :; . ;". - , :

tion. Aside from these features of the
celebration were the distinctive features
of it represented in and by the delega
tions of Indians, who are supposed to
represent the tribes that were occupying
this territory when first invaded by the
Spaniards, and who by ft series of enter
tainments peculiar to themselves and the
age and civilization they were supposed
to represent, were made prominent
feature tn each day's program.
The horse racing, foot races, firemen's
tournaments and other attractions, were
of course introduced to draw, and I sup
pose served their purpose well, so that
on the whole, whilst the attendance has
not been up to the expectations of the
managers, or of the hotel keepers, tt has
been sufficient to prevent the celebration
from proving thai far a financial failure,
and probably justifies in some degree
the statement that the celebration is ft
success, but in it all I fail to see enough
to justify the expense of a trip of several
hundred miles and the exactions of
rapacious landlords. I go from here to
Colorado Springs, and in my next will
give yon notes concerning that section.

One of the most brilliant social events
in the history of the town took place yes
terday afternoon at Cameron, Missouri,
the occasion being the celebration of the
nuptials of Walker M. Combs, of this
city, and Miss Josie . Howard, of the
first named place. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Mr. Kenny, and was
witnessed by a large company, embrac
ing many of the most prominent citizens
of Cameron. The bride was attired in
an electric blue traveling suit and pre
sented most charming appearance. She
was attended by Miss Anna Rlggs, of
this city, who wore ft tasteful toilet of
black and white shepherd's plaid, which
was exceedingly becoming. The groom's
best man was John Abrams, ot this city,
between whom and Mr. Combs ft warm
friendship of many years' standing has
existed.
There was ft great wealth of gifts, of
the moet handsome and valuable char
acter, which will be cherished by the
recipients ss souvenirs of the most aus
picious event in their lives. The young
couple, in company with Miss Biggs
and Messrs. Abrams and Gardner, arriv
ed in Emporia this morning and have
established themselves in inviting apart
ments at the Barnes residence at the
corner of Fifth avenue and Constitution
street, where they will receive the con
gratulations of their friends.
lne marriage seems in every wsy ft
peculiarly fitting one, and it is the earn
est wish of the many ardent friends ot
Mr. Combs, who has lived here long
enough to win the fullest measure of
regard from the people of this common
ity, that he and his lovely helpmeet may
find the future rich in all those bless
ings which should attend a well assorted
union.

strongest and smartest man
that ever lived, if he gives It chance.
The young man who thinks It Is smart
to drink whisky, and who bums his
throat and stomach, strangles himself,
aud makes his eyes water, in order to
learn to drink, and then gulps down
water to relieve himself, would far bet

punishing himself to learn a habit thst
will be misery and death. He Is
