EnPORIA GRANT club ORGANIZED.
bylaws and Omcers.

The meeting to organize Grant Club
was not SO largely attended last Satur-
day afternoon as was desired. But the
Sabbath school convention and two tri-
ais held on to q late hour and most of
the people got tired and left.
The meeting was organized by elect
ing G. d. Humphrey Chairman, and ia
cob Stotler Secretary.
Major Bancroft, from the committee,
reported the following bylaws, which
were adopted without opposition:
This organization shall be known as
the Emporia Grant Club.
Its objects are, first, to secure the
election of u. S. Grant and Schuyler
Colfax to the Offices of President and
Vice President of the United States
and second, to secure the election of
true and capable Republicans, to all
Safe and local offices.
To the accomplishment of these ends,
we will contribute our time, money
and talents, as we may be able, in dis
seminating political truth, by means of
Public Meetings, Newspapers and
Speeches; and by general conversation
and argument with those whom we
may find willing to listen to fair and
our political faith.
The officers of this Club shall consist
of President, Vice President, Secreta-
ry, Corresponding Secretary and Treas
urer, who shall perform the duties ap-
pertaining to their several offices, and
who shall collectively constitute an
Executive Committee, of which the
President of the Club shall be Chair
man. 1t shall be the duty of the Exec
utive Committee to take the general
charge of the canvass in this township,
and cooperate with the County Central
Committee, in arranging for Public
meetings at this place, and providing
speakers and other assistance for other
localities when requested to do so.
| The meetings of the Club shall be
held at the Court House, i'll Emporia,
on Saturday of each week, at two and
one-half O'Clock, p. NJ, unless otherwise
ordered by the vote of the Club.
All meetings of the Club shall be
public, and all well disposed citizens are
invited to attend and participate in its
proceedings.
ANY elector of Emporia township

2.SA PREPARATORY DEPARTAGENT.-The
object of this department is to afford young
men and women of limited education the means
of fitting themselves to join the classes of the
regular teachers course, and for general bust
ness. Tuition is six dollars per term. Stu
dents choose their studies, subject to the ap-
proval of the faculty.
3. THE MODEL SCHOOL.-This Department
has been established a practice school for
the Normal students, and as a model for their
future work. Tuition, $500 per term.
CHEAP BoARDING.-AN Normal School Board
ing House will be open for the accommodation
of students this term Board will be provided
at cost prices, probably not more than $500
per week, perhaps less. Rooms for self-board-
ing can be had at reasonable rates.
ALL CAN COME.-HeretofOre, by the restric-
tiens upon the terms of admission, and the
high price of board, many who applied have
been debarred from attending the Normal
School. Now all can come. Board is cheap.
The opening of the Preparatory Department
admits young persons who do not wish to
pledge themselves to become teachers. The
Model School gives parents an opportunity to
place their boys and girls under the influence
of Normal discipline and culture.

of Americas turned out well at the
meeting Tuesday night, which was call
ed to organize Grant Club. This meet
ing showed that the people up there
don't do things in half way style.
There must have been near two hun
dred people present, a large portion of
whom were ladies. 1t was enough to
make a man who had been used to En-
poria audiences on such occasions, feel
good and cheerful over the prospects of
our cause, to look at that Americas au-
dience. j. d. Jaquith, Esq, occupied
the chair. The Club was organized by
the election of the following officers ::
President, j. W. 10y; Vice President,
Rev. d. T. McAuley; Secretary, w. w.
Kits; Treasurer, S. P. McCaw.
II. w. Randall, DIR. NJ. Thornell, and
Fred 10y were appointed committee
to report bylaws for the Club at the
next meeting.
After the organization was effected
| CoL Plumb was introduced to the audi
ence and made speech full of interest,
reviewing the doctrines of the two par
ties, and comparing their candidates.
The speech was very attentively listen
ed to and loudly applauded. The Col.
is one of the most forcible and logical
speakers in this part of Kansas, and will
do good work for Grant and Colfax dur
ing the campaign.
The Club adjourned to meet Saturday
evening next.
| Owing to a misunderstanding about
the manner of going to Americas, Prof
Stimson was left behind, and the sing
ing announced for the occasion did not
come off. No one regrets this more than
Mr.. Stimson, and we are authorized to
say to the members of the Grant Club al
Americas that the promise to sing some
Grant songs for them will yet be redeem
ed by Stimson and others if they should
| still desire it.
i We predict good results from the OF
ganization of the Americas Grant Club

The greatest caution should be ex
ercised in the use Of preparations in
tended to promote the growth of tb,
hair. A few applications of an i'm
proper substance to tue delicate yes
sells from which the hair derives its
nutriment, will cause irreparable in
jury, and entail premature badness,
upon the unhappy victim of charlat-
anry, whose nostrums crowd the
market. No such bad effect need be
feared from the use of Halls Veget-
able Sicilian Hair Remover, manu-
iactured in Nashua, N. III. This ar
tlcfe is concocted upon scientific
and with an intimate
knowledge of chemistry and philoso-
ply as applied to the growth, preser
vation and restoration of the human
hair. When the hair has become
gray, it will restore it to its natural
color, and produce a fresh, vigorous
aud healthy growth, improvedin tex.
lure, health and beauty. If people
ire wise, Halls Sicilian Hair Renew
,r Will take the place of the multi |
ude of inferior compositions now
lawked about.-BostOn Commercial.

Local Insurance.

Local Insurance.
A movement is on foot looking to
the Qrganiaation Of q =" Hancaek Fire
Insurance Company" Tie Ideals a
good one, and we hope it may sue
eeed. Last year the agents of the
various companies in this place sent
to their head-qharters,' over sl2.-
600, while probably less than $4,000
covered the entire amount paid for
losses. Now, by organizing good.
sound Company among. ourselves, the
Insured would be just as safe, and
the money could be kept at home, the
rates need not be SO exorbitant, and
numerous other advantages would
accrue. Let us hear from some OF
our friends on the subject, and make
an effort to set the matter properly
before the public.
