This makes the second cheese factory in Amer

Notwithstanding about three to one of the
citizens Of Americas, to whom the question
was presented, opposed the opening of beer
saloon IN town, (and rs many more would have
pronounced against it II they had been called
upon) it seems that man has been found who
is determined to defy and disregard their
wishes, and who has opened one up and gone
to selling. We maiptain thatit Is disgrace to
the town, and that the people should set their
faces against it from the start. We don't think
any one will have the hardihood to pursue the
business long, If the community stands square
against him, and let 1t he shown in a way that
cannot be mistaken that the people of Ameri-
Gus don't want beer or liquor saloons. The
town is better without them, and its friends
should frown down all attempts 70 Introduce

numbered nearly fifteen hundred, made up of

SIDEwAI.Ks.-We believe the members of
our City Council in their official capacity, aim
To do Whatsoever viii eonduee to the greatest
good Of the greatest number, We certainly
can give them the credit Of \ jealous effort as
a body. to discharge their duties. But mas
much there are so many matters demanding
their attention aud Immediate action to get the
city in good running order, they are liable to
act upon the matters brought before them with
too little consideration. Ordinances that
would ut hrSt seem to be just right, may not
only contain flaws that NiH afford pretexts and
room for violation, but may be actually bur
dcnsome and oppressive to those whom they
were ordained to benefit. We believe that the
ordinance in relation to the construction Of
sidewalks ON Sixth avenue Is an instance OF
this kind. u erdains that from Union to East
street the walk be hlpe feet wide, Of pine, oak
or walnut plank one and hais inches thick,
laid on fopE stringers, four by -four inches in
thickness. and nailed with four siXteen-penny
nails to each plank one foot wide, beside the
clamps and nails for the stringers. The lets
on the corners Of Sixth avenue and East street
are 10 feet deep, consequently they will each
require, allowing 800 feet waste, over 800 feet
Of lumber. This cannot be had for less than
S35 per thousand, OF $l22.50 for the lumber
atone. nc mans Will coSt iuily S-us II Lnere
Is no digging or filling to conform to the re-
quired grade il can possibly be laid for ten
cents per linear foot, OF 81, making the aggre-
gate cost Of walks 40 feet ioRg, IN round num-
bers, $40 Those who have had experience in
building sidewalks here aay that they cannot
be put down for less than 81 .25 per linear foot.
The point we make IS this: The value of the
lots betw cen Union and East streets will not
be enhanced by the construction OF the side
| walks TO the extent OF such an outlay. and in
requiring the owners thereof to pay such an
| amount for sidewalks, the City Council has
| laid an oppressive tax upon them for the ben
eft OF the many 10 TIE injury Of the few. We
do not consider that the walks 10 remote from
the center OF the town should necessarily be
over i've feet wide, and could he laid with inch
lumber, aud serve the public fiRlly as.well as
necessary until such time as the value of lots
adjacent shall have reached at least more than
double the cost Of constructing the sidewalks.
We do not believe the Council counted the
cost OF complying with this ordinance before
they adopted Il, or they certainly Tould have
| modified IL. There some other very i'm
portant reasons why this matter Of sidewalks
should be handled with care. Some Of ouI
citizens who have secured lots aud houses ia
sidewalks In thirty Tor ninety days. They
should not forfeit their lots because they have
the misfortune to he poor. Our town is new

BONDS FOR A SCHOOL HoUsE.-The voters
of School District No. will bear in mind that
Il meeting will be held ut the stone school house
at O'Clock tomorrow afternoon, to consider
the proposition of building new school house
in Emporia. AS this is n matter Of great i'm.
portance TO the citizens OF the town and yicin-
ity, we hope there will be n full attendance.
The dist let stands IN great need Of additional
school room. Our town has outgrown the ca
pacity of the large stone building erected five
years ago, and the little frame house erected
last year was scarcely sufficient to aceommo-
date the increase OF pupils during its con-
struction. 1t will not avail to say that our
present school houses are comparatively new,
good and substantial, and that therefore we can
get along for while yet. Like healthy youth
we outgrow our clothes before they are worn
out. They are now too small; they prevent a
free circulation OF the vital fluids; they eramp
us; they sicken US, Fetarti our growth and pre-
vent our perfect Development, We need now
one-half more school room than we have, and
we may safely calculate upon necessity for
three times as much more III the next five
years. especially if we provide good building
of sufficient capacity to meet our present wants.
What we will need in this regard two or three
years hence, we need not now consider, bnt we
ought to make comfortable provision for ut
least two years in advance OF our present re-
quirements. We should build house I'm keep
Ing with our Importance city commercially.
What kind OF house then should we build ?
A house to cost forty thousand dollars, and
rather more than less. It will pay better than
ten city halls. We cannot afford to expend one
cent for beautiful objects without utility. 4
school house Is not of this class OF improve
ments. Let It be commodious, say 60xTO, three
stories high, substantial, without any super
huous nub-dubs in the way of decoration, but
according to the latest, most convenient and
approved. plans.
Our idea of asehool house is basement, say
three feet below the surface Of the ground,
containing ICONS for the residence of janItor.

The WELSH OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Welsh
Presbyterians have commenced to hold divine
service In this city, at Fraker's hall, over Mr..
Smiths queensware house, on Commercial
street. Opening services were held last SUN
day at p. M, when the newly appointed min
lister, Rev. John Jones, formerly Of Middle
GRANVILLE, New York, preached an eloquent
and solemn sermon. The large and commodi-
Gus hall was well filed with an attentive audi
ence. Mr.. Jones came here, to Kansas, last
September on visit, and was so much over
powered by the desirable position Of our place
and an earnest and affectionate call from the
church OF Dry creek to take pastoral charge,
induced him with little hesitation, to respond
to the call. On Sunday moning he preached
for the first time at the new church in course of
erection on Dry creek. Mr.. Jones comes from
the State of New York with high testimonials
OF the esteem and respect of his numerous
friends and the people of his charge. We hope
that he shall have no cause to repent his move
ment, and that he shall ever hold the same high
position in the esteem of the people of Kansas.
Prayer meeting will be held in future at the
hall, on Sunday at 10 n. m; Sunday School at
p. M; sermon Mt p. m; prayer meeting ev-
cry Monday night; social meeting on Wednes-
day; vocal class every alternate Friday night.
