THE GREAT CELEBRATION.
The Good Time Coming.


The committees to arrange for the railroad
celebration on the 18th inst. are all working
vigorously. Arrangements are being made 10
secure eminent speakers to address the people.
Charles Sumner, Horace Greeley, Ben. Butler,
John Bright. the Prince Imperial, Frederick
Charles and General Trochu cannot all attend,
however desirable il would be TO have them
come. Louis Napoleon, we are Informed, is
occupied in counting his fingers at Mayence,
and is not open to engagements during the bal
ance Of the year. Eugene might be induced
TO come, If she could be reached by letter. In
view of the possible failure Of these dignita-
ries TO attend, others will be secured who are
equally as interesting, and can do just as much
to dispose OF the pumpkin pies and chicken
fixin's. Let US all be there.
The railroad company have placed a fine ex-
cursion train at the disposal Of the citizens.
Arrangements are being made with the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas road for half-fare tick
cts TO and from Emporia. 1t is hoped that the
ladies of the city will enter into the spirit OF
this occasion with the same zeal they have
manifested in every other festival occasion,
and organize themselves 10 ornament and edo
the honors'' of the tables. Let everybody go
to work in real good earnest, and Wen have n
general happy time.
just before going TO press we are requested
to announce that r. Dwight Thacher, Of Law
renee, will be the orator Of the day.

CHANGE OF FIRM.-In our peregrinations
through the city in search of items the other
day, we discovered our friend and late pastor
Of the Presbyterian church, Rev. r. NJ. Over
street, essaying, with an expression of the most
obstinate determination in every feature, to tie
up a pound Of groceries. 1t seemed like a
great waste Of manly virtue on so small an af-
fair, but we only asked an explanation Of his
appearance behind the counter. He had
bought out Mr.. HoughtoD, and was undergo
ing his initiation in the art of doing up sugar
and coffee. Well, well, what changes do occur
In this world! But Overstreet will do what's
right, and all who want good bargains in gro
ceries, go and buy them Of Overstreet; it will
tickle you to see him tie them up.
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1870-09-09

Rev. Albert McAlla, whom we mentioned a
short time since as the successor Of Rev. Over
street in charge Of the Presbyterian church,
arrived last week, and filled the pulpit of his
new, and we may say important, charge on
Sunday morning and evening. Mr.. McAlla is
young man, but is well endowed intellectu-
ally and socially for the Office to which he has
been called. We sincerely wish that the
church may prosper under his hands, and that
his fondest anticipations of useful career
may be fully realized and enjoyed in the city
of Emporia. We bsg leave 20 extend to him
a cordial welcome, and bid him God speed in
his good work. His subject next Sabbath
evening will have reference to the war in Eu-
rope. We anticipate an interesting discourse,
and hope there will be a full house.

THE ELECTION FOR DELEGATEs.-The cleo
ton for delegates to the State Republican Con-
vention, held last Saturday, resulted in the
election Of all the candidates but one of those
named in our last weeks issue. The vote at
this precinct was as follows: For anti-Clarke
delegates, 1886; for Clarke delegates, As; MAORI
ty against Clarke, 2sS. The one Clarke delegate
elected in the county resulted through the
over confidence of the anti-Clarke men in OBJ
tanning majority without effort, and. their
consequent failure to go to the polls, and the
great activity and illegal voting of the other
side. He had then bare majority of a very
slim vote cast in the township, and no reason
to boast of cheating Jakes candidate,' as he
did in the Lawrence tribune.

There seems to be no cessation TO the stream
OF immigration that is pouring into this section
of cur young and rapidly developing State.
Every day the trains bring in numbers of them
from nearly all sections of the Union. Unlike
those who came to this State in its younger
days, they come prepared with the wherewith
to purchase homes, and it is n noticeable fact
that there are but few who return dissatisfied,
consequently the Southwestern portion Of our
State is filling up with an intelligent. enter
prising class of people, who are calculated to
add much to the wealth and resources Of the
State, and at the same. time make for them
selves comfortable, happy homes.

s. A. Riggs and Col. John Richie addressed
large audience from the steps of the Robin
son House on Thursday evening Of last week.
We did not hear the speech of the latter, but
can say that Mr.. Riggs delivered one of the
ciearest, most convincing arguments against the
nomination of Sidney Clarke that has been
produced during the cappaign. 1t was in
marked eonstrast with Sidney's harangue at
the Court House in this city, the week pre-
vious. Our paper was ready to go to press be-
fore the meeting was held, and for this reason
there was no report Of it last week.

A carpenter who has been for some time at
work on a house in the third ward, few days

absent, short time after, persons living in the
vicinity discovered the shavings to be on fire.
and rushing with water to the spot, succeeded
in putting it out, but the carpenter lost n good
many ofhis tools, the work bench was consid-
erably burned, and some lumber destroyed.

sionist, was in town this week. Mr.. kyan's
next excursion train will leave Topeka Mon
day, September 10, for the Ohio State Fair.

outlay OF cash. Mr.. Ryan has made arrange
ments for an excursion train from Ohio to Kan
sas and Denver. Leave Ohio September 81.
