The LArEsr.-A North Carolina genius
has made out the following logogrph on
Seymour, aud Blair Commencing with the
L, and reading toward The corners, vertically
and lateraly, the names Of Seymour and
Blair appear more than 25O times. Let
them get as many electoral votes as their
names read, and they will be elected. The
whole Republican party may safely be
challenged to produce anything like it, in
which the names Of Giant and Colfax will
appear as many times. 1t is fundamentally
impossible. To those inclined to give Gre.
dence to the marvellous, this will secure a
fatality in favor Of Seymour:

New ADvocArEs.-We see by reference
to our exchanges that Colonel G. II. LARA.
bee has taken the stump 10 this State for
Seymour and Blair. Colonel Larrabee was
at one time Chief Justice Of the Supreme
Court Of Wisconsin, and was at the begin.
ming Of the war member Of Congress. He
raised one Of the first regiments in that
State for the war, and served throughout the
entire conflict as a Colonel in the Union
army. Benjamin R. Nckerson, who last
year supported Mr.. Fay for Governor Of
this State, is telling some pretty hard stories
on the Republican party in bis speeches At

Emigration Society.

EMPORIA, April 2Sth, 1868.
EDITOR OF EMPORIA NEWS: Though a
stranger in your town and community, hope
that your heretofore liberality of spirit will be
exercised toward me for Offering a suggestion
on a point which Should interest every citizen
of our commonwealth Kansas is my adopted
State; Emporia my future home. l therefore
feel an interest in every effort tending to de-
Velop the resources of the country.
Emporia, nor Lyon County, so far as know,
have no Emigration Society Why should it not
have? Here is beautiful enterprising town,
situated about the geographical center of the
State, in one of the most lovely and fertile val
leys of Kansas, which must ultimately be-
come one OF the most attractive agricultural
districts in the Union, yet comparatively but
little known outside of the State.
Were its resources and attractions known
as they should, be the wealth, industry and
enterprise of the east, would soon pour in upon
US, opening up and improving thousands of
acres now lying idle Agricultural enter
prise and growth improves trade, and attracts
railroads This is our surest and speediest
method of awakening the souls Of railroad cor
porations, (if they have any.
/ suggest to them the propriety of organic
ing an Emigration Society, raise funds to print
circulars for general gratuitous circulation
Let those circulars embody general information
concerning the Town and County, Society. Ed
ucation, &c &c. Also let it be an object of the
members Of this Society to aid all emigrants
desiring to settle and improve lands, in finding
desirable locations. By the judicious applca-
ton of little means and energy in advertising
our town and county we will secure an intelli
gent emigration, and thus unfold the hidden
wealth of our rich prairies, increase the valua
ton of property, stimulate trade and better
yet, furnish happy homes for thousands of toll
ing, honest, struggling men and women. Tht
law of eternal progressive growth and dvelop
ment demands us to let our light shine. Wha
say the Citizens of Emporia and Lyon County.

REVOLUTION IN EMPORIA |!
HYGIENIC MEDICATION
VS.
DRUG MEDICATION.
HYGIENIC MEDICATION
DRUG MEDICATION.
The Old World Still Moves
AN OPEN FIELD, AND FAIR
FIGHT.

FOR CENTURIES THIS CRAZY OLD
world has been hunting specific Panacea for
all their woes, pains, aches and diseases IN
duced by the violation of imnlutable physio-
logical laws. They have searched the uni
verse, and accumulated the poisons from the
Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral Kingdoms
"The dregs and skem of earth and sea-
swallowed them with superstitious faith as
remedies for all their ills, but still they sick
en-, suffer, and die, prematurely But one in
thousand live out half their days. Medical
colleges hatch out, and send forth tender
brood of sheep-skin gentry, called doctors
full of learned lingo and technical gibberish,
to dose and drug, bleed and blister, pow-wow
and speculate, but still diseases multiply and
increase in proportion to the amount of drugs
swallowed and doctors employed.
Says DIR. Benjamin Rush, of Philadelphia,
after forty years of experience in the drug
practice: 1--WE have done but little more than
multiply diseases, and increase their fatality
Says DR. John Mason Good, of London, 1.-THE
effects of medicines are wholly uncertain, ex-
cept indeed, that they have destroyed more
lives than war, pestilence, and famine, COM
bined."
Thus for centuries the doctors have piped
and the people have danced, until they have
become depleted in vitality, and the Doctors
plethoric in purse This unbalanced circu-
lation'' is abnormal

CHANGE OF BAsE.-Our old friend
Jacob Pike, of Lawrence, who was in
the Southern Kansas Stage and Ex-
press Office so long, in that city, has
changed base, and has accepted the
agency for the Chicago, Burlington &c
Quincy Railroad. We are glad of this
because SO many of our people pass over
that road every year. The G. B. s. @.
is not surpassed in the country for
pleasure, safety or speed. Pike informs
us that this is the only ronte on which
passengers can get their baggage check
ed through from Lawrence to the Allan
tic cities. Time as quick and fare as
cheap to New York and Boston as any
other route, and nine hours quicker to
Chicago tban on any other road. One
was over this road, and we can there
fore recommend it to those of our people
who are Eastern bound, or to persons
in the East who are coming to Kansas.
We want to say to everybody who don't
know Pike that he is an accommodating
gentleman, and will be found always
ready and willing to give any inform
alton or aid in his power to those who
are travelling. We are uuder renewed
obligations to Jacob for a couple of
slips of paper which entitle US to ride
over the c. B. e Q. road. We know
the company will not regret securing
his seyices as its agent at Lawrence.

An Old Merchant in the Fi.1d Ara,n

William Clapp is again ready to see
his old friends and customers, and
everybody else in need of boots, shoes,
hats, caps or clothing, at the old stand,
No 161 Commercial street. He has fit
ted up the old room, and filled it with
an entire new stock of the above goods.
In boots and shoes, hats and caps, and
clothing he has the largest stock ever
offered in this market. His goods are
all entirely new. To say they are good
and nice, will only be reiterating what
all have said who have been there to see.
We looked through his store the other
day and are prepared to say he has the
incest hats, boots and shoes in the mar
ket. 1t will do the public's eyes good to
go and see them. In the matter of la
dies CATERS and fine shoes, and also in
the line of fine boots and shoes for gen.
tlemen and children, his stock is COM
plete and very attractive. In spring hats
and clothing his stock is unequaled.
The fare announcement that William
has again returned to business, is suffi-
cient to insure him q good trade. His
shelves, counters drawers and boxes are
full, and the prices, it seems to us,
cannot fail to suit all. We can
but advise the people to go and see his
goods. He will be glad to see you, and
will gracefully relieve you Of your
geenbacks if you desire it.

Nosrettac Moi.

This individual needs a slight puff,
and on account of his innate modesty
we have concluded to say word in his
behalf. He keeps hardware, store e,
tin and agricultural implement depot,
in Van r. Holmes new building on
Commercial street, next door south of
Eskridge. lie has a heavy stock of all
the above goods, and he must sell them,
not because he is going to quit business,
or any thing of that kind, but because
he is going to leave his present location
in few days and take up his abode in
DIR. Jacobs building, where Fraker &
Peyton now hold forth. He don't want
to move his goods, and he proposes that
the public shall move them for him from
his store to their residences throughout
Southwestern Kansas. He offers espee-
ial inducements to have the people COM
ply with this wish, and the bargains he
offers astonish the most credulous.
For the proof of all this go to his store
and ask him. He will tell you it is SO,
and that we have not told the half. He
is offering goods away below his usual
figures until he moves.

1 PROPOSE REVOLUTION:

Let the people pipe and the doctors dance.
Medical men have stood like priests at the al
tar of their so-calIed medical science, while
the people offered incense and sacrifice, but
were not healed. They "gre,c no better, bat
rather grelo aeorse." Here is need for reyolu-
ton. The people have ever sought TO be saw
ed in their sins, and not from their sins. Hence
their faith in mocking priests and deceptive
drugs They have not yet learned that cease
to do evil and learn to do weII'' means; cease
taking drugs and poisons and learn to. obey
the laws of your being as implanted by an in
telligent Creator. They have yet to learn
that obedience to physiological law will in
sure health and happiness, and that disobedi-
ence leads to disease, misery, and premature
death. Blind leaders have misled them, and
all have fallen into the ditch.
The Reform PHYSICIANS propose Revolution,
and Revolution means war. All we ask is an
open field and fair fight.
If in two thousand years of practice, we.
blight, mar, scarify and slaughter as many as
they have; if we wreck and ruin as many con-
situations, shatter as many nerves, rot out as
many teeth, ulcerate as many 1ivers, corrode
as many stomachs, blister many skins, blast
as many hopes, and blunder as much general
ly. we will surrender the field and retreat into
dishonored oblivion with Andy johnson s. Co
Inow offer the citizens of Emporia and sur.
rounding country

We expect to have plenty of friends
for few days, because we are obliged
to acknowledge, through this channel,
the receipt of that box of SPLENDID
cigars which Johnny Morris handed to
us on yesterday morning. We are not
much of smokist, but we believe those
of our friends who have tried them
agree with us in saying they arc not
excelled in town. Those unfortunate
individuals who can't have boxes of the
real Havana given them, had better go
to Johnny's restaurant and buy them.
To friends we would say, we keep the
box securely locked. We usually take
smoke about eleven o'clock at night,
which is the only time they are unlocked.

John Norris is preparing to furnish the public
with the delicacies Of summer weather. He
has bought number one soda fountain which
will arrive in few days, and will also be ready
for the fee cream season. He hasan abundance
of good fee put up, and will tit up an apart
ment for the accommodation of ladies and gen.
tlcmen. He will keep all the delicacies of the
season, and we expect his restaurant will be-
come popular resort for the lovers Of good So

prise may realize TO him harvest of postal

SOMETHING NEw.-Stepping into the
store of Bay & Hall the other day, We
found them opening fresh stock of
groceries. This establishment has built
up an enviable reputation all over the
country for keeping up good stock of
family groceries, and for selling them
at the lowest cash fiures. They are
very attentive TO business, and are al
ways strictly fair in their dealings with
the public. We hope they will contin-
ue to do a good business.
