tunity to Inrniah yourselves and fami

the word of life of any desired style, and
at tbe lowest possible price.
I shall ask the privilege of presenting
the claims of the society and taking up
collections in all the churches and as
many of the school houses of the county
as possible. I shall also solicit private
donations and subscriptions to the funds
of the society. As my expenses are
borne by tbe society, I do not hesitate to
ask the hospitalities of the people in
behalf of the cause . J. Cofeland,

tion was received in the city yesterday
of the whereabouts of tbe murderer of
W. n. McMillan. They were seen in

very likely they will be captuied soon,

them. Three strange men were seen
near Hays City in the past week, and
two of them had blood on their clothes.

DOTS FROM DELI..
Editors News: The weather in this
loealijy is now sufficiently clement to
adiiiil of husking, and judging Ironi tho
energy which farmers display in secur
ing their c:oru, they appear to appreciate
the boon. The vacillating nature of our
Kansas climate is such that agricultur
ists require not only to make hay while
the sun shine;, but also Jo gaher corn
while they can.
It msy interest those or your readers
that are religiously disposed to know
that our Sunday School work, under the
direction and approved superintendence
of Mr. F. Symmonds, during the last six

possessor of some of the finest swine we
have seen in the state, has just received
from J 11 Howe, Lasalle, county. Ills.,
what be represents as a fine mala nf
that order. The chief characteristics of
this eant(,ru hog area length of snout
that is certainly not Kansan, an ad-
uiirablo capacity for baflling the
luconveniences of muddy pens, in that
he stands head and shoulders above his
fellows, and finally, a "slabsideness"
that too plainly indicates "give me some
more corn." To tell the plain troth our
Kansas hogs arc hard to beat, find if the
specimen above alluded to ia an evidence

Injunction for a stay of sentence In the
case of the Ftate of Kansas vs. F. H.
Macke, in which tbe defendant is a
fenced to pay a fine of $1,300 for a ylola
lion of the prohibitory law, was argued
in the district court last Tuesday, Coun
ty Attorney Feighan aod Judge Buck
appearing for the stabs and Peyton, San
ders & Peyton representing the defense.
The attorneys for the state based their ar
gument fcr a dissolution of tbe injunction
upon the ground that none of the alle
gations of fact set forth in the petition
could he entertained or heard by tbe
court, for the reason that the court had
no jurisdiction to grant the
writ, as there was no authority
tor snlng tbe state of Kan
sas in its own courts without its consent;
and tor the further reason that there was
no precedent where an injunction had
ever been isaueu in a criminal proceed
ing; and for the further reason that the
facts relied on in this case had been sub
stantially averred in the knhran rorpnt
proceeding recenuy ueciaea in me su
preme court, ami that this
whole matter was now re atijmhcnUi.
Tbe defense said that tney were not

vaaced by the state and asked further

VVVflT TOPICS.
Sarvle fu Con unction fwltli the I.nllier
' Memorial.
The four hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Martin Luther, the great re
former, was celebrated Sunday
throughout the Christian world, and
services in connection with, that event
were hcldja Emporia. In the morning
Itev. Dr. Cordley, of the Congregational
church, preached a discourse bearing
ujon the Work of thej Reformation, In
which thejeauseajeadiog to that great
religious movement were defined and
their effect upon tho age in
Which Luther lived was elaborated.
The speaker held that tbe mission which
Luther accomplished had been prepared
tor him by a succession of events which
made the times ripe for a man ot his In
domitable courage and faith, and th at the
outbreak which revolutionized the en.
tire system of religious thought was but
the culmination of forces which had
been in operation years befora the birth
ot the great reformer. A comprehen
sive and interestlne historical outline of
tbe life and mission oT Lather was em
bodied ia the sermon, which was one of
great merit and excellence.
' IXTHXtt VEKORIAL SERVICE.
The Luther memorial services, at the
M- E- church last night, rero attended
by one ot tbe largest audiences that has
ever assembled there, and the eagerness
with which all listened to the exercises
of the occasion Inlly attested the fact
that tbe name ol tbe great reformer or
the fifteenth and aixteenth centuries is
still remembered with affectum, not
only by his own countrymen, of whom
there were many present last night,
hnt by every Protestant of whatever de
nomination or nation here reresented. "
The opening exercises were partici
pated in by Rev. T. J. Hanna, Itcy. Mr.
Dudley, Rev. R. L. Lot, and Prof.
Cruiksbank, and two or three beautiful
selections were rendered by the choir.'
Rev. Mr. Hanna presented Rev. J. F.
Ilendy to the audience as the orator ot
the occasion, and as masterly and thrill
ing an address as we have over heard In
connection with exercises of this kind
was delivered by Mr. Ilendy, who
seemed himself to be fired with a zeal
like that which inspired Luther to braye
tbe jeers and tauuts of his enemies and
to cfose his ears against the tearful en
treaties of well meaning friends, but less
pnursgeous than himself, to desist from
a course which acemed to them must
end in the sacrifice of his life at the feet
of his Papal enemies. This great man's
virtues and gigantic accomplishments
were extoled In a manner only equal to
the ability of a man filled with the
zeal and loye for right and truth pos
sessed by the speaker, and the vast aii-
dience which filled the auditorium, prop
er and lecture room to the full seating
capacity and inore, paid tlje strictest
attention to every syllable thatfelj from
the lips ot the eulogist, and iarticqlarly
attentive were his bearers to tho story
of how Luther conducted him
self before the Diet at Worms,
the noble patriot of truth and right
standing firm in bis convictions, though
a torttifthS death, hp J;Rd cypry
reason to lielie.'e, awaited him at
the conclusion of bis trial, aod there be
fore that august assembly, a portion o!
which was enraged to the degree of
frenzy, he answered with majestic .firm
ness the questions put to him, and when
the fins test f;ainu he fuly renounced
the Papal church, and uttered these mem.
orable words : "Here I stand ; I can do
nothing less; God help me; amen!"
The services concluded with tho sing-
ingot the hymn, "All 1 1 nil the Power ol J
Jesus' Name," tbe vast congregation
joining with grfi; entli!isiasm in ihe
singing. ;
FIRST rUESRVTEltlAX f'llUKt'lI.
The services at the First Presbyterian
church were attended by a large con
gregation veU-rday morning. Rev. Mr.
Dudley, of Morrow, Ohio, the former
pastor o Ibi? hnrcji, prencliqig the
sermon, lie prelaced his discourse with
a few remarks respecting bis former re
lations to the congregation before which
he stood, assuring bis hearers that it
had always been his aim and wish that
they might enjoy the richest of God's
blessings, and he wished here again to
assure them of his warm personal Iricnd-
ahip and that ftod might continue h,lQ
mercies to tbeffl. His serinon was
founded upou the stury of Jjaaman, the
leper, and showing the wisdom of obey
iug the least as well as the greatest of
God's commands. The discourse was
most excellent from first tolasl, and the
congregation showed their appreciation
of it by the closest attention.

Overrolet
During the hearing of the Osatje City
case before the railroad commissioners
Friday, the httorneys for tbe A. T. & S.
F. railroad made a mctiou to dismiss
certain counts fiom the complaints.
xesterduy the board cf commissioners
made the following important decision
in regard to the matter of
The Mnyor at-d Council of Osite CiU
ys. the Atchison, Topeka !c Suit Fe
It. ll Co.
. The complaiut contains twelve counts
or sections, ihe nrl eleven charge sub
stantially that the rcepotident company
have established a tlaie ol' things at
Osage City and county, by whicu the
coal Industrie of that locality are bciug
greatly injured by the discriminations
on the part ot t'te railroad company in
favor ol the Osag Carbon compau y in
which il is alleged tbe railroad company
is interested. The last part of the com
plaint Charges that the rates generally
are too high, etc , over said railroad at
OssgcCity.
The last part is continued in conse
quence of the mpfcUn appoint be
tween tbe traltic managers ol the differ
ent railroads in the slate and the board
on the litli of November for the pur
pose of arranging freight rates tor the
stale
The respondent company now moves
to dismiss the other counts in the com
plaint that charge simply discrimina
tion, for the reason that the mayor and
council possess no authority or light to
make such a complaint uder the stat
ute, and that the board cannot take jur
isdiction under said complaint.
The law creating the peesent board
and defining the towers and duties is
yery measre in its provisions in respect
to the manner in which its powers shall
Iks Invoked aj.d it duties shall be per
formed. Sections II, 14 and 18
of the act in question pro
vido we shall make com
plaint oi grievances arising under those
sections, fuder section l, complaint
may lie made of any unreasonable price
clrarged by a railroad company, for any I
service rendered or afforded by it to any j
other company, person or corporation,
aud under this section the party directly
aggrieved must complaiu. Under sec
lions 14 and 18 the board is authorized
upon proper complaint to affect the rates
upon one or all classes of merchandise,
either by reduciug or raising them. In
this case complaint must come from the
mayor and couucil of a city or trustees
of a township, upon the request of 25
legal voters of such city or township.
These are the only c.as$s n which it is
provided who shall make the complaint.
There are numerous other powers and
functions conferred on the board besides
these contained iu sections 11, 14, and
is. and yicl) the hoard may ex
ercise either upon complaint
or without one, and since
it is not provided who may make com
plaint, the board may entertain and act
upon complaint coming from any source
they may deem trustworthy.
In all malters which form the basis pf
complaint, when the matter complained
of affects but one individual or consti
tutes a personal grievance the complaint
would more properly come from the
person who has occasion tor complaint,
but if the matters complained of arc tbe
existence ot a state of things which
affects injuriously a number of persons
in the same locality it appears to the
board not Inappropriate for the mayor
and council or trustees, as the cose may
be, to prefer the complaint.
The complaint in this case is of the
latter nature, and we think it came
properly from the mayor and council of
Jsafje City, and therpfp.re overrule the
motion to dismiss.
CIlllll AHUA. CAPITALISTS.
An Interview With n f arty or Mexican
KxcurtoniHts.
The writer had the pleasure Monday of
meeting a party of Mexican ccirsioa
ists who passed through Emporia on
the San U Fe, en route for Kansas City
and St, Louis. The party numbered fif
teen pcrsous, allot whom live in the city
or state of Chihuahua, and they repre
sent fSO.OOO.OOO of capita!. The compa
ny consisted of the following named
persons : Tir. Mariano maniego, lieu
tenant governor of the slate of Chihua
hua; Juan Terraas, son of the governor
of Chihuahua; PrimUivo Saenz,
surveyor . general of the state;
Jose de la Lnz Corral, head of
tbe Catholic church in Northern Mexi
co, and Bishop of Chihuahua; Feli
Ileaury, manager of - the largest im
porting house in Mexico; Thos. Mc
Mannas, president ot the bank at Chi
huahua; S. O. Young, business mana
ger of the Chihuahua Daily and Weekly
News; Juan M. Asunsolo, Felipe Arel
lano, Jose Maria Falomir, Tomas Cor
dero gaza, Jose M- Sancbe;,. Wcncesloa
Fuentes, Je?ua Vaae)a, Espiridion Pro
yencio and Daniel Horcasitas.
The object ol the excursion ia to cul
tivate a knowledge of this i-onutry and
its business methods, and to cement the
Imnd of friendship which 1ms sprung up
lietween the two republic. The party
is furnished transportation by the Santa
Fe and speak in glowing trrms oi their
trip. Mos( f'J the excursionists are fa
miliar witii the English language, and
nothing could exceed the polish and ele.
gence of their manners. They arc all
all acquainted w ith our former towns
man, Major E. P. Bancroft,' of vhom
they spoke in the most pleasant manner.
They fyijl spepd one ilay jn Kansas
City and then io lo St. Louis, where
they expect to (ingotiato with some of
the leading biisincfri bouses for supplies
or different kinds. The party favored
the newspajMT represeutatives who met
them here with fcptcimens ol Mexican
coin and received them with a spirit of
cordiality that was highly agreeable.
They will return home "iy way of the
Tex8 Pacific.
Rough on Randolph.
As is well known by tbe people of
Emporia, W. A. Randolph, iiesides being
a profound student of Coke and lilack-
stone, and a successful barrister has
likewise a penchant for stock-breeding,
and annually supplement the receipts
ot bis legal practice by pecuniary rein
forcements derived from tbe sale of adi
pose swine, sleek bovlnes, not to speak
of sundry lucky ventures in horse-flesh.
Now, in connection with the fctock yard
is maintained a slaughter house, the
offal ol which is converted into a source
of profit to the proprietors by whom it
is leased to other parties.
It tarns out that. Sunday the proprie
tor of one of our meat markets told his
butcher that he was g"ini into the
country to secure a beef, and instructed
him to goto the'slatighter bouse in the
evening and kill it. The dealer got in
rather lata and when be arrived he
found that his butcher, with the best
possible intentions, hvl .committed the
trravc blunder of converting into
beef a ii thoroughbred bull be
onging to Mr. Randolph, which chanced
to tie in the yard adjoining the sham
les. The owner of the animal was duly
apprized of the mournful mistake and
here we deem It conducive to the repu.
tation of the News, as a family news
paper ot high moral tendencies, to draw
a veil.
A Close Call for a Barg-lar.
Frederick Douglass, colored, .who
lives at ICS Exchange street, was awaken
edby a noise about his premises Snndsy
night. lie got out of bed and went
down stairs and fonnd that some one
was trying to effect an entrance to his
house through a window. He grabbed
np a hatchet which happened to be
ithin reach, and intended to hew
down the wnnld-lie burglar
he got near enough. Ap
proaching nearer the window he
spied his gun stmdna in one corner of
the room, and snatching that up he
made for the door, but did not get
open in time to get a very good aim at
the retreating house-breaker, but he
thinks be gave him a pretty close call, as
he sent a hupc load of buckshot after
him, and raw bim throw np his arms in
a manner which leads him to believe
that some of tbe shot must have taken
cffi-ct.
To Frtenda
I regret the necessity of alluding to
certain false reports that have been cir
culated by one O. E. Cooper, concerning
myself and tbe family with which
bave lived. I will say to my friends
that the evil reports which have come
tn my ears through the source mentioned
are wholly untrue, and must in the end
only effect the party who makes them.

Topeka Commonwealth : The funeral
of John Wilton whose death has been
noted la this paper took place on Sun
day. Services were helJ at the residence
of his son-tn-Uw, H. E. Norton, in Em
poria, and the rerqaina were brought tq
Topeka on the afternoon train. A large
number of his old friends met the re
mains and Mr. and Mrs. Norton and his
son, Sam. Wilson, at the depot and fol
lowed them to the cemetery. Rev. F. S.
McCabe officiated at the grave, but the
weather was too inclement to admit of
extended services. The Doctor referred
feelingjy to Mr Wilson and spoke in the
highest terms of him. The body was
buried in the family lot or n. E. Nor
ton, where he has a chil i burled and
where He the remains of two of
Mr. Wilson's daughters, Mary and Sadie
(Mrs. lien. Jenkins). Mrs. Norton re
sides at Emporia and Mrs. Kate
odgers in Ohio Sadie's lit-
boy ts tflth, a sister of
Mr. Jenkins, (who is also dead) in Mis
soun. 1 nele -lolin llson was one o
nature's noblemen t there is any such
thing In tlis world We could write
pages showing the noble traits in his
character, but il is unnecessary. As a
sample of his sturdy Independence, we
could cite the fact that ever since be
went to Emporia in 187$, he has insisted
upon running a small business and liv
ing with his wife, Ly themselves. He
did so. until the day of his death, al
though the house of Mr. Norton was al
ways open to him. But M.r. Norton saw
to it that hit hili.3 wore paid when he
got behind,- and not a day has passed for
long time that either Mr. or Mrs. Nor
ton did not see them ana see that their
wants were supplied. It was his re
quest to be laid by the side of Mary and
Sadie in the Topeka cemelary.

The Wrong Mu.
Monday Sheriff Ryan received a tel
cgram from Governor Giok in relstion
;o the McMillan murder, and
in pursuance thereof he . went to
Argentine, where he arrested Jack
Boyle, a former resident of this city.
who was suspected of the crime. He
was brought to Topeka and identified
by Canductor Sne'.I, of the
Santa Fe. with whom be
went east the night of tbe murder, and
who searched him and found nothing
on him to indicate his guilt. Boyle was
therefore released . He is the same man
that Romaine overhauled at Argentine.
The item copied in tbe Topeka Com
monwealth doubtless refers to a clue
which officers Fleming and Kremer
followed lor .a time in the
western part of tbe stale but which was
lost. There are no new facts tn relet
in connection with the tragedy.
HI 'Km Again.
Commonwealth : A most demoralizing
and uncivilized drama, pretended to be
an apt Illustration of murderous deeds
and lawless exploits enacted by the
James boys during their wild, untamed
career, was produced at Crawford's
opera house last night, to a crowd that
filled every inch of spare in the two al
leriesand four-fifths of the first floor.
The play itself has nothing whatever to
recommend it, but being of a blood and
thunder character seems lo draw the
baser element and pleases them well.
Many opera house managers throughout
the country have refused tn let the com
pany have dates with them and it is de
voutly hoped that Mr. Crawford will of
fer no more such productions to the pa

HAPPY HARTFORD.
How Oar Slater City to Booming-
A Summary of tha Jmprovemeata Itade
, mt that riaee Darine tha Pane Year.
Hartford Call : We desire to present
to our readers a brief summary of the
principal improvements which ' haye
neen made in our thriving little city
during a period of little more than 1
year. The wonderful rapidity of devel
opment ot our town has been a cause of
remark among men who make traveling
their business, and the remark is often
heard now among commercial travelers
that nowhere in the state have they
tound a place which has made such
immense strides during tbe past year
as has Hartford, and that to-day there is
not a town in the entire state where so
much business enterprise Is manifested.
A stranger to the -lace can hardly be
lieve that this is the quiet little village
he taw two years ago resting quietly
upon the banks of the beautiful Neosho,
seeming to be. dosing away the long
summsr a ay, letting time slip on golden
wines away, while to-day everything is
bustling, busy and active the livelong
day and everybody seems awakened to
the idea that Hartford may become one
ot the most thriving cities in the state
that some good may come fut of Ne
rrlh" after
Perhaps the nrst thing which attracts
the eye of the stranger approach ing the
place is tha lofty spire of the
EVASGRMCAI. cm-ROM
piercing the heavens, showing that
amidst the busy cares and turmoils nf
the day there u still a thought of a
brighter ;fa tkn this and that our peo
ple are not waning in efforts toward
advancement in spiritual as well ; as
temporal matter, This neat little
church structure, which in iu modest
simplicity might prove a model for
more wealthy town to follow, has just
been completed at a cost 01 $:i,r00.
There are but few members here and
they have togetlwr borne the burden in a
manner which deserves much praise.and
they have been ahy aasisted by other
Citizens of the place. The building was
erected und,er the supervision, of Messrs.
Wenrer, Barrett and FUekiaser as a
building committee, and the building
js good evidence of their taste and Judg-1
ment.
Another building adding much to the
appearance of the city and eliciting the
most favorable comment from a who
have seen it is the naw
MARTKOHD BANK
which stands conspicuously upon the"
corner of Commercial street and Ex
change avenue. It is a beautiful struc
ture of brick and stone, and will cost
about $4,500. This tiding re
ceive further notice at our hands.
Another building, the consideration of
which we must defer, is Drs. Maxson A
Lanphear's new
OPKHA llot'SK,
which Is now almost completed at a cost
of nearly $i.Gti6 It will have a seating
capacity otfM aud will "fill a long felt
want."
Upon the corner of Commercial street
and Plumb ayenue stands a fine brick
store, 25x80 feet, two stories high, which
wss built last fall at a cost of more than
$2,000, being, at the time it was put up,
by far the finest building in the city.
This is the store of
CAMPBELL BHOB.,
and is occupied by that enterprising
firm with an immense stock of general
merchandise of such an extent that it
one had been told three years ago that
uch a stock would ever be carried in
this place he would have deemed it in
credible. However, we have not tbe
space to fully describe this great im
provement to the place, but must pass on
to the next.
Immediately opposite there stands a
modest little two-story brick, occupied
by Mrs. S. Haslett as a restaurant and
bakery, which is not ytt complete, but
which has already cost almnt $1,000,
and when finished will In valuable
property for the owners.
To tbe south there stands a magnifi
cent brick structure now near ing com
pletion under the management of Mr.
, Lang, the contractor. This is tbe
strin aunjiiso.
Put np by Mr. R. H. Muir, who recently
came here from Jersey City and proved
his confidence in the bright future in
store for the "Gem City of the Neosho"
by investing more than $4,000 in this
building. It is not yet ready for occu
pancy, but when occupied will prove a
subject for a more extended notice in
our columns.
There is a man who has done much
tor the advancement ol our town, and
during the past year has shown his con
fluence in the town by putting np two
fine buildings on Commercial street.
We refer to
muTiiH srtrroN,
who owns the building occupied by Pol
lock's drug store and the one -which
Wolf St Rogers , lielow for hardware
aid above for furniture. These build-
ings cost about !,.VK), and present a
business like appearance. 1km ng connect
ed with his large stone store on the
corner of Commercial street and Ex
change avenue. The people have shown
their appreciation nf the Doctor by
twice electing him repreneWarive in the
legislature-
Around Ihe corner, on Exchange ave
nue, there stands a block of sulmtantisl,
one-story twick stores, which, frcra
their appearance of .sobriety and ability
to stand np under any circumstances,
have won the appellation of
ST. JOHN BIXK K
These three stores, occupied respectively
by Bsysmger & Channell's grocery,
City Book Store and Duckett'd billiard
parlor, are owned by our popular and
well known citizens, Messrs. I. A. Tay
lor, R.T. Snedifcer pt S. II . Duckttt,
and were put up at a cost of almut
$1,500 each, thus aggregating a mm of
$4,900. .
This completes tbe list of new busi
ness houses, showing a total of $.11,000,
which tor one year's improvements we
consider a marvelous record. In no
case haye we put tbe figures too high,
and in many we may, perhaps, be too
low in our estimates. We have now tn
speak of the numerous dwellings which
have been put up daring the time, but
will barely mention, those of I. Samuel
son, cost $:."00; R. T. Snediker, $.1,000;

This we think is a better showing
than any other town of Its size- in tbe
state of Kansas can make, ' and we
moat heartily rejoiee that anrh is tbs
cms. ---
The growth of the country surround
ing has been equally rapid, immense
tracts of land which a few years ago ev.
eryhody said could never prove nf value
to day are blooming andrr the plow-
man's toil, making tbe heart of
the "Great American Petri" to
blossom as the rose. Great is the
growth of Kansas and wonderful tha
development of her resources. 'And
Hartford is situated in the very midst
of this garden of tbe world, and her sur
roundings are lovely.
we nave m us nrirn, aketcbed some
f the most marknl improvement
our little city, aod mm take pleasure in
pointing ool these signs of material pro
gress. They indicate that r.nr fmsinees
is rapidly increaaiog and that our Imii-
neas men hava great confidence in th
future of our town, and we feel that tan
confidence is not misplaced. ' W have
spoken of tbe past year with dtflaiienei.
Of the fatnr we dare not trut onraHvra
to speak, for no man knoweth what the
I morrow may bring forth, aiwv our
expectations of the future of Hart
ford sre . of too sanguine a na
tore to lie divulged, but we shall
endeavor from time to time to chron
I icle each improvement and make the
people of the state and of the nation
know that we have got a live town here
and that each and every one of us mean
Bl'SlXESS !
And we trust as the town continues to
make these gigantic strides we may be
enabled to keep the Call advancing step
by step with the growth of the town and
that in after years when Hartford shall
have attained the height of prosperity
to which she aspires our friends msy be
compelled to say: "Much ot this good
work has been accomplished through
the earnest labor of the Hartford Call."
A Dramatic Treat.
Our citizens will be sfforded an op
portunity, Wednesday evening, Noy. 21,
at Whitley's opera house, of witnessing
the production of Mrs. E. D. E. N.
Soutaworth's celebrated New York
Ledger story, and the greatest of all
Southern comedy dramas, 'The Hidden
Hand," by the only standard dramatic
company ever organized for an exclu
sive and stage presentation of this dne
play Whitley's Original Hidden Hand
Co. ' The e.Mnpany have met with phe-
nomlnal success eyerywhere, the press
ot our larger cities giving them the
highest praise. Every member has
been selected with a view to their re
spective adaptability to their various
parts, and the entire drama will he pro
duced with the company's own special
scenery, realistic accessories, complete
stage mountings, appropriate plantation
scenes, etc.
"In the duel character of of "Capito.
a" and "Archie, the Newsboy," the
famous singing soubrette and charming
comedienne, Hattie. Irving, is a strong
tealure of the company, while as
'Wool," a "gemmen of color," Hilly
Robinson, one of the Iiest known char
acter comedians on tbe American stage,
and late one of the principal members
of Hayerly's Mastodon Minstrels, etc.,
is sure to prove a tayorite with any
audienoe. The company announce an
Unusually strong cast, and, as they play
a new version of this well-known story.
, . 4
aim me only one ever nrovcu, wimitnf-
el or authorized by Mrs. South worth as
lieing her correct story, it is but fair to
anticipate a better and more perfect per
formance of "The Hidden Hand" than
has ever liefore lieen given by any travel
ing troupe. Tbe company come to us
highly endorsed, and we lies peak for
them a crowded house on their appear
ance in our city
Church S-aatlval.
The church festival, given by some ol
the ladies ot the Christian church on
Tuesday evening last, at the residence
of A. G. Wilhite, four miles southeast of
Emporia, proved to be a vefy enjoyable
affair,
The house was very brilliantly illum
inated, both above and ltnlow. The
company consisted of ladies and gentle
men, ttoth from the city and surround
ing country, who continued to gather
in until the house was quite well tilled.
The exerciser of the evening consist
ed chiefly of music, both vocal and in
strumental, and when the sweet strains
of music in one room, intermingled
with the merry peals of
laughter in another, one could not help
but feel merry and sociable, as indeed
11 were. In due time supper was an
nounced and as many as could Ik- seated
repaired to the dining room, where
the table lieautifully arranged, under
tbe supervision ot Miss Dellie Moore
met our gaze. We will not attempt a
description of the supper as our atten
tion was attracted by a couple of oysters
trying to dance to the lively harmonious
music, which softly floated in at the
open door.
As the seats at the table were vacated
they were refilled until all
hail cracked crackers, sipped soup,
etc.- The festival was given for
the benefit of the Christian church now
undergoing erection at Emporia, and we
hope that the ladies having the a flair in
hand were as successful with their ob
ject in view as were those who came for
amusement, for if tbe clock on the man
tie piece could have struck the newly ar
ranged time it would have struck 23 be.
fore tbe merry faces began to dissappear
behind yells and wraps preparatory to
departure. Respectfully, E.G. S.

A telegram from a friend in Eureka
announces the death of Judge Geo. II.
Lillie at that place Tuesday night at 11 j
'clock. This news will lie received with
expressions ol sadness by tbe earlier

ids. In this county, as early as 1K.X or

manner creditable to hiinselt and his
constituents. He hail the year before

who weie prominent actors in the drama
of onr early life arc liein,; railed to their
reward. The death of Geo. Lillie will
he regretted by all who knew bim.
