"WINEs & LIQORs."-The sign of what Is
intended for n wholesale liquor house, on the
corner of Sixth avenue and Mechanics street,
appeared AZ above quoted yesterday. The
question arises, by what authority do the pro-
prietors of this establishment so boldly open
and advertise a house of this kind in our city
They have no license as required by the statute
and city ordinances, even II they have con-
suited individuals of q certain class In the
community. Have they license from the gen
eral government TO sell liquor at wholesale:
And, IL they have, what right have they TO
sell in this city:
We shall not attempt, in this article, to fur
nish the proof in support of the declaration
that n license from the U. S. Collector does not
grant the privilege to sell liquors in violation
of local regulations, but such we believe TO be
the fact. However, these parties have opened
this house in defiance of our city regulations
and public sentiment. It Is only another Illus
tratiOn Of the insurrectionary disposition Of
the whisky interest in this country. Our citi-
zens have long resisted the attempts of this
nefarious interest to gain u recognized ahd
substantial footing in our town. Attempts
have been made to sell ale and beer publicly
These have failed, and men who have more re
gard for money than respect for the laws, oil
public sentiment, have been fOiled in theil
attempts to engage in this traffic.
We call upon the friends Of good order, tenn
perancc, and morals, to hold up their hand,
and say the laws and public sentiment Of this
| community must and shall be recognized and
| resDected

We are sorry TO learn that some Of the eiti-
zens Of this place are talking Of engaging IN
the Texas stock trade again. While we are
trying to build up an extensive dairy business
ii. this place, the success Of which depends
mainly ON breeding stock particularly adapted
to that business, it Is diseouraging to see an
influence at work TO run down the grades OF
our stock, and thereby make the dairy BUSH
ness failure. One Of the greatest drawbacks
to the cheese business Ia this State has been
the difficulty experienced in getting good
mixers, and now II our stock is to be mixed
up with the worthless (for that purpose) long
horned, Iong-legged, wild specimens which
are being driven here from the Southern eoun-
try, It will seriously interfere with one Of our
most promising institutions. Take ''second
sober thought" gentlemen.

DOES IT PAYf-Mr. ]. W. Adair informs
US that during the month Of June, his cows
averaged 3e1< pounds Of milk each day. He
Is now milking ten cows. At the price paid
at the cheese factory for nflk--one cent q
pound-this would foot up 47!a5 month for
the milk Of each COW, or 1915 for the five
months that cheese Is made. The calf will
readily sell for IS, when three days old, thus
increasing the product to s44.T5; and the
amount OF butter that can be made before and
after the cheese making season, win swell the
total to upwards Of $50 for each cow-enough
to pay for . Hrst-rate cow. The general aver
age for cows Il about 20 pounds per dAy-Mr.
Adair's herd being . little extra, and the
month Of June one Of the best months. But
even At this figure the dairy business, 1t will
be seen, 10 certainly profitable. We believe
the result OF this seasons operations Of our
Americas cheese factories will convince people
here that nothing will pay better than cheese
making, and that great many Of the farmers,
and others who live near enough to the factor
les, will work into the business as fast as they
are able 20 do so.

THE FOURTH or JuLY.--The cath anniver-
sary OF the Declaration OF Independence was
not observed In Emporia as per any pre-ar-
rangement. Its approach was announced
several days before hand by the popping Of
fire crackers and torpedOes, and the lively evil
dences of appreciation Of the occasion on the
part OF Young America. The entire stock OF
pyrotechnics OF all dealers In town was ex-
hausted long before the penchant TO fire them
was subdued in the boys. Some Of them are
doubtless looking yet for some stray torpedo
that was thrown but did not explode, and
anXiously wishing TO hear just one more crack.
The picnic on Allen creek, made up Of a
large number of Americusians and people from
the country round about, with somewhat
smaller number from Emporia, was very In
teresting affair. The grove in which il was
held is dense forest Of walnut and oak on the
farm Of T. +. Little. There were probably
five hundred persons on the ground. After
dinner, Mr. +. ID. 10y, having been called to the
Chair, announced the order Of exercises, which
consisted OF singing, by several young ladies
and gentlemen; an appropriate prayer, by
Rev. J. d. Bell; reading the Declaration, by
j. II. Mcpherson; and an interesting address
by DIR. J. J. Wright. The exercises ended with
singing, praise God from whom all blessings
aOw." Considering that the picnic was gotter
UP within three days, the crowd was a larg,
one, and everybody seemed happy and satisfied
with It, The presence OF a couple OF "bloody'
Kaws on the ground was deprecated, Their
being a number OF the S. =. A. present, blu
we did not hear Of any engagement between
them.
In addition TO the above, two picnic parties
made up In Emporia, sought the leafy shade
OF the Cottonwood, near the Columbia ford
and not very distant from each other, TO hin,

ments, 1.-THE slight fantastic toe'' is worn out,

OUR COUNTY The Board Of County Com
missioners have been in session as Board Of
Equalization during the present week, and 1t
will take them the balance Of this week 20 get
through. The assessments are being changed
very materially. We understand the total
valuation OF taxable property will foot up
about 81, sos, 900, an increase OF over S1O0o,0O
since last year. In Emporia township the in
crease Is about 80 per cent. 1t will foot up
between 81 100000 and SI,40O,OO0. The pro-
perty IL not valued above one half OF its actual

perty of the county Is really worth In the

TO THE CITY COUHCIL.-We petition our
City Council 70 pass an ordinance to put stop
TO the building of fires in our streets. On the
night OF the Fourth half dozen fires were
built In Commercial street to the great danger
OF the town. the frame buildings OF the street
were as dry as a clnder. Had the wind come up
"a little there Is no telling what the result
would have been. As IL was business men
were compelled to stay up until twelve O'Clock
TO put out these fires. We have seen them
putting out fires for many years on the eve
nings Of public occasions. Once we were n
little boy, and have vivid recollection Of how
extremely funny 1t Is to build fires In the
streets Of piles OF pine boxes, old barrels, etc.
We do not want 10 deprive the little boys and
little men OF any fun. Let them go half a mile
out on the prairies and have their fun. Their
patriotism can ooze out there well as In the
streets. There Is now and then n man who
would build lire within ten feet OF frame
house, for the sake Of fun, II the house belongs
TO somebody else. 1t ought TO be stopped.
Every business man will thank the Council Ii
they will pass an ordinance to stop it at once.
Fire crackers, sky rockets, etc., might also
safely be excluded from the business street. II
will be remembered that Portland, Maine, was
burned up few years ago by fire crackers.
