4 GOOD WORD FOR EMPoRIA BUSINESS
HoUsEs.-The Cottonwood Falls Index has
several columns Of Emporia advertisements.
Our business men are certainly very liberal
advertisers. 1t has recently become the sole
proprietorship Of Mr.. \. W. Follett. Mr.. +.
was here few days since soliciting for adver-
Using, and we are OF the opinion that he met
with abundant success. This is what he says
of our business men:
We made hasty trip TO Emporia few days
ago. Everything in the way Of business is
looking up In the hub" Bancroft & MeCar-
ter have piles on piles OF the best dry goods
and fancy articles, which they sell cheap as
the cheapest. Besides, they are wide awake,
pleasant gentlemen to deal with, sand What :
more, they have abundant faith in newspapers
and advertising. Aid. A. Baker is so crowded
with an Immense stock Of groceries that one
has 10 pick his way through his store room.
| So with II. &. Haywood e Co., who keep the
best furniture store in Southwestern Kansas.

have seen In Kansas. lie Is n hale fellow well
met, and has good word for everybody.

course no other proof Is needed Of his RELIABLE

We saw gentleman OH the streets yester-
day torturing himself with the execution of
the most violent gesticulations. We supposed
he was very likely engaged in explaining the
theory OF Iogarithms, or demonstrating how TO
square circle, and being anxious to listen to
so interesting u subject, we drew nigh, when
We beheld no other than a defeated candidate
for Office explaining to his friends how his de-
feat came about. 1t was an interesting expla-
nation, and we regret that we have not tim',to
elucidate 1t in the gentleman's same happy
manner. Suffice 1t to say that the sum total
OF the whole knotty problem proved to be that,
unfortunately, his competitor received about
one hundred more votes than the gentleman
himself

Our friend John Bay, now in the house late
ly occupied BY French & Green, Is rapidly Sc
curing the patronage Of the country. He has
some OF the handsomest stoves ever brought
to the city, and great variety of them. He
does not make great progress in getting full
supply OF tinware ahead of the demand, not
withstanding he has several workmen indus
triOusly at work. Read his advertisement in
another column, and then visit his store, ev-
erybody, If you want something excellent
against the cold weather.

ALMOST DRowNED.--J. c. Toplif and n Mr..
Penheld arrived here Thursday night from Ar
kansas City. In crossing the little creek near
the Croker farm, on the Eldorado road, their
wagon was washed down, upset, and torn 10
pieces. The mules were only saved by cutting
the harness TO let them out. The gentlemen
themselves came near being drowned. They
lost their camp equipage, some clothing, re-
volvers, etc. They were in the water from two
to three hours in saving their team, recovering
their wagon, etc. There were several teamsters
ON the bank Of the stream who refused assis-
lance. The gentlemen thought the stream
safe, as they had taken the precaution to ride
q horse in before entering it with a wagon. 1t
proved too swift for them to ford.

A comparison Of the vote in our city Of last
Tuesday with that last spring indicates very
satisfactory growth. The whole number Of
ballots east for Mayor was, 3S4; our vote on
Tuesday was 552, an increase OF 13s. Accord
ing to the usual way Of reckoning the popula-
tion-ive inhabitants to one voter, we have an
increase in population Of 600 since last April,
or an increase Of about 200 in seven months
or 100 3 month. This we think is not so bad.

GOOD NEws.--M~P. Cogswell, the gentle

possible dispatch. Mr.. c. assures US that if
the weather keeps fair they will be able to give
US the dispatches in five or six days.

The city Of Emporia did very well for Nc
Cune. giving him majority Of votes over
Mr.. Hunt, his main competitor. He carried
Americas by 25 and Fremont by 10 majority.
The only objection urged against him, and in
fact the only thing that defeated him, was the
fact OF his being comparatively a newcomer.
This objection will be outlived bye and bye. 1t
