The Kaw Indians enjoyed unusual festivities
last week, oecasioned, as we are informed, by
their eleyating Bill johnson "a member Of the
tribe) to the position Of Chief Of one Of their
bands. We happened to be coming down In
dian creek, alone, last Friday, when our ear
caught terrible uproar bowling, whooping
and general hilarity, which seemed to come
from the woods ahead OF us, and proceeding to
the spot, we discovered large camp of the
Kaws, painted and decked out in true Indian
splendor, and the most ofthem participating in
aboriginal games-raeing, mimic battles, 'fbase
ball" etc., etc. Each Indian seemed to en-
deavor to make us much noise as possible. The
sight would undoubtedly have been en- inter-
esting one TO newly arrived citizen, and the
crowd that surrounded us and saluted US with
tobacco, two-bits," etc., would probably have
got a better .come down. from an audience Of
that kind. The same performances have been
keptup nearly every day since. We under
stand that the Kaws have promised to come to
town and give ''war dance,' as soon as the
grass grows, provided the citizens win furnish
beef for the occasion, and they have been as
sured that the said beef shall be forthcoming
"The public are cordially invited" r.

ESLARGING.-We notice that Bancroft &
McCarter, wholesale and retail dealers in dry
goods and notions, are enlarging their elegant
store-room by addition Of twenty feet in the
rear. This will make the room one hundred
feet deep. But six months ago these gentle
men came TO Emporia and commenced busi-
ness, and we take this addition to their store
room as an indication of their success. MIR.
Bancroft returned from New York last week,
aud from him we learn that he has bought very
largely in view Of an unprecedentedly large
wholesale trade. They will add a new feature
to their store in the way OF carpets. They will
receive In few days general assortment, en-
bracing everything, from the finest imported to
the cheapest rag carpet of home manufacture.
We are glad to note such evidences of COM
mercial success in our city, particularly when
they are the result OF fair dealing and an effort
to please.

with turnip patches, then it win be too late to
call them baek-the elms.
There is another subtraction Of which !
would like TO speak, Washington Park, God
has given us so much prairie, IL seems too bad
that il should be dedicated 10 Mammon. Spare
Washington ParkI Its central position would
make IL more ornamental, more useful than
either of the others. Let the street through Il
be an oyerarehed avenue Of large trees; and
on either side let there be whole block, one
for flowers, shrubs, greenhouse and fouH-
tain; the other for shade, with large trees,
lawn, rocks, birds, squirrels, statuary, walks
and seats.
Here It should stand, ever growing more
beautiful. ever promoting the health, happi-
ness, taste, manners anc morals Of all classes.
On suItry mornings il would be filed with
those who wished 10 take the air; inEalids, ba-
by carriages, and persons of leisure; gentle
men ON their way down street would stop in
its shade TO look over the 'DAILY NEWS and
on moonlight evenings 'twOuld be thronged for
social chat, and 10 listen TO the band.
The Council that would subtract this from
our future Emporia, deserve TO walk daily over
the blistering sidewalk from the Normal to the
Cottonwood. or TO be banished for life 70 the
Desert Of Sahara, and in the world to come,
can easily believe that God has fitted up place
for them, eternal with their Counselor. c.

CALICO PARTY.-At the Robinson House on
last Wednesday evening the Social Club gave
one of the most interesting, as it was the most
amusing, entertainments ofthe season-all par
Elephants making their appearance dressed in
calico. The male sex in calico cut a sorry fig
ure, it Is true, but to use word from the yo-
cabulary Of a Massachusetts, Senator the
ridiculosity of the figure was the fun Of it,
The coats run chiefly to swallow-tails, which
we describe collectively as abridged and una
bridged, thin, variegated, quaint, faneiful, gro-
tesque, fantastic, extravagant, preposterous,
monstrous, lndierous and absurd in perfect
keeping with the other parts Of the dress, and
well adapted to ''cutting up Shines" The Ia
dies dresses were made up neatly and without
regard TO the ludierous, thus giving them the
advantage in poking fun at their partners,
which Of course was appreciated and entirely
satisfactory. Upon the whole, it was the hap
piest occasion we have had TO record for some
time.

EUREKA. From Major Z. p. Bancroft, VINO
made trip to Greenwood county this week,
we learn that Eureka, the county seat, exhibits
every indication Of prosperity and business ac-
tivity. Buildings are going up in every quar-
ter, there being at this time about forty, some
of which are business houses of considerable
size and some Of stone, in process Of erection.
Messrs. Cummins, who put up a large hotel
and conduct the same to the entire satisfaction
of all guests, are compelled to build u large
addition thereto, the lumber for which has Just
been ordered. A new hardware firm, under
the name and style of Garlick Z; War;, have
opened out with a stock that would do credit
to town of much larger growth. The mer-
chants are all doing we'll, and everybody seems
to be contented and cheerful. The mail SER
vice Is inadequate. and the people of Eureka
are ANXIOUS to have the present semi-weekly
mail from Emporia changed to a daily, change
that, In our opinion, would be entirely coEsis-
tent with the general good of the service, and
confer a great advantage upon and give an
impetus TO the.growth of large and rapidly in
creasing population.
The town and country is thronged with land
seekers, and the thousands Of acres Of the NJ,
X. 4 4, R.R. company in this county, now in the
market, are being taken up very rapidly, while
the presumption lands of the twenty-miie strip
Immediately south of Eureka, are fast passing
into the hands of actual settlers. Eureka will
be, ere long, one of the most important, as it is
now one of the most beautiful, towns In South
ern Kansas. Its population is composed of the
best of people, and everything works together
for good.''

We invite the attention of all readers to the
advertisement and cuisines notices" of VIM.
Clapp, which appear In this issue of eur paper,
because they illustrate not only the enterprise
and business character of VIVA. Clapp, and the
nature and extent OF his store, but the neces-
sites Of the times regards the interests of all
merchants in the town. This store was OPEN
ed two and a half years ago, on a much smaller
scale than It presents to-day, but Mr.. Clapp
has constantly enlarged his stock as the town
and country filed up, until the store is now
literally packed with all styles and qualities of
goods usually kept in an establishment Of this
kind. The large stock recently purchased, and
now ON hand, was bought in view OF an extern
sive jObbing business, feature of his trade
which has been rapidly enlarging during the
past year, and he now offers inducements which
will lead many of the merchants from neigh
boring towns TO abandon their purpose of GO
ing to Leavenworth and st. Louis, this spring,
as they have been accustomed to do, TO buy
their goods here, and save time, and probably no
Insignificant sum in the matter of Transports
ton. The new goods just received are but n
fractional part Of the amount bought and now
ON the road. The stock on hand will be re-
plenished by almost daily arrivals.

Between the fire and the jealous efforts of
the citizens to suppress 1t last week, the store
OF J. G. Hall & Bro. was very seriously de-
moralized; but they are rapidly readjusting
the goods upon the new shelves, and will be
ready to wait upon their numerous friends to-
morrow. They Will offer many goods at sac
rifice which were soiled, and those who stand
in need OF anything in their line, and who
want TO take advantage OF an opportunity to
secure bargains, had better go TO sec them ut
once. Whatever damage the stock may have
sustained, all traces of 1t will soon be lost in
the piles Of new goods with which their store
will be replenished.
