candidate for Mayor in the Tribune of yester-

little feeling about the matter.

Mr.. S. d. Riggs, of the banking firm of Riggs,
Dunlap & Co., returned the first of this week
from trip to Portsmouth, Ohio, his former
home. He says the weather was very severe
while he was in Ohio, that money matters are
very stringent, and that Kansas was the great
theme Of conversation for everybody. Hesays
he was kept busy from morning till night in
answering questions about Kansas, almost ev-
erybody being anxious to sell and remove to
our State, and would do so if they could, but
owing TO the stringency Of money matters, par
ties cannot sell without great sacrifice.
We are glad to welcome Mr.. Riggs back. He
is one of our most substantial and enterprising
citizens.

While at the depot last week, we noticed sew
eral cars loaded with the most thoroughly sea-
soned flooring that we have ever seen. Upon
inquiry, we found it was for the lumber yard
Of Messrs. Thompson &c Jay, at the depot. This
firm is constantly extending its business. 1t
makes speciality of seasoned lumber. We
noticed several teams loading at their yard
with flooring, shingles, etc., for Wichita, pur-
chased by gentleman from Philadelphia who
has just purchased large tract of the Law
renee lands, located four miles above that
thriving town, on the Arkansas river. We
also noticed, just east Of the depot, a frame up
for what is going to be the finest house in this
section of the country. The contractor and
builder is S. ii. Epley. The lumber is all fur
nished by Thompson Jay, and Is of the very
best quality the market affords. 1t is building
for the residence of one of our first settlers, Z.
B. Peyton, Esq, who has deseryedly won for
himself name and fame that he ought to be

PRAIRIE FIRE IN TOWN.-Our village was
thrown into a state of excitement on Monday
evening last by prairie fre, which suddenly
appeared ON the hill northwest of town, leap
ing in furious haste before a strong wind to-
wards the western limits OF the city. The fire,
when first seen, caused no alarm, but under the
pressure of the breeze the town was suddenly
submerged in the smoke OF the burning grass.
and in moment the population was in such a
state Of uproar only the cry Of fire can ex-
cite. Hundreds Of men rushed from their bus
mess and their homes to the front to fight the
red flames Of the furious element, but not in
time to prevent the destruction OF a small
house on West street, belonging to Dir. Lewis
Gray. and occupied by family named Nye.
A pile Of hay, lying against the north side Of
the house, quickly took fire, communicated it
to the house, which the flames enveloped so
quickly as to compel the wife and children to
nee for their lives. All their clothing, fnrni-
ture, and years provisions were destroyed.
Mr.. Nye was away from home. Several other
buildings were for time In peril, but no other
serious damage was done. Mr.. Gray's loss is
about $500, which he says is less serious to him
than the loss OF his tenant, Mr.. Nye A sub
scnption paper has been circulated through
| town for the benefit of the latter, and money,
clothing and other comforts have been donated
quite freely for the immediate relief Of the
family. Who started the FIRE has not trans
pired. II might have resulted more seriously

efforts Of the citizens to whip Is out.

WASHINGTON PARK.-An act was passed at
the last session of the Legislature to enable the
town authorities to yacate Washington Park
After consultation with some of the best law
yers in the State it was found that the property,
having failed to be appropriated for the pur-
pose for which it was donated, could only re-
vert TO the original town company. 1t was
necessary for them to get the consent, to its va
cation, Of the city authorities. This the town
board has given, as will be seen by the publi-
cation Of an ordinance in another column, and
in doing so secured half the lots to the town.
The property is to be equally divided between
the members of the original town company and
the city of EmpOria. BY this arrangement the
city gets sixteen of the lots which will be quite
benefit to the treasury. We are glad this ac-
ton has been taken, because the park never
would have been of any benefit to the town or
its people. 1t would have taken more money
to improve it than the town could ever afford
to spend for the purpose. 1t would only have
been a homely common for stock to range upon,
and formed an unnecessary obstruction to the
growth Of the town in that direction
