The Hon. G. w. Smith was called to
the chair. aud large array Ct Vice Pres,
idents and Secretaries were selected from
among the substantial aad honored citi-
zans of the city. A letter was read from
Gen. Deilzler, prOclaiming his opposition
to Female Suffrage and explaining that
his name appeared among the commit
lee on resolutions of the Female Suf-
frage meeting without his knowledge or
consent. The President, in taking the
chair, made a most able and impressive
speech. Mr.. MacBarney then made a
most brilliant and eloquent effort. which
was frequently ''applauded to the echo. >
and which made powerful and lasting
impression upon the deeply interested au

argument which We regard as incapable

We may lock for something of interest
soon in reference 10 the construction OF
the Railroad from Topeka to this point.
A few days ago, as we learn from one Of
our citiz'ns who was at Topeka, tele-
gram was received from the same gentle
men who took the contract to build the
NeoshO Valley road, asking tbs officers
of the Topeka road to meet them in Chi
eago, the object of the meeting being Z
consultation looking to the building oil
this road. The day may not be far dis.
tant when we. shall have two Railroad:
through Lyon county Nth their junction
at Emporia.

The whole party express the highest

But the Kansas portion of the party feel
that especial thanks are due, and ought to

No maiden in her teens ever donned a
