WOODEN MILLS.

We understand that a proposition
has been submitted to the City Coun-
Gil, by responsible parties in Illinois,
to build and operate at this place ex-
tcnsive wooden mills. These gentle
men travelled over the whole State
looking for an eligible location, and
finally decided that our city suited
them better than any other. OF course
some aid from our city is asked, and
we hope no niggardly, shOrt-sighted
policy will stand in the way of sccur-
ing SO valuable a business at this
place. A committee of the Council
was appointed to ascertain more def
nitely the standing and ability of the
parties, and to get their propositio n in
4 definite form.
1t is n well known fact that there is
too much trading in the west, and not
enough manufacturing; and we shall
always be poor, as people, as long as
we send all our money out of the coun-
try to purchase goods which should be
made at home. While we believe in
railroads, the more the better, yet
twenty-five thousand dollars we'll cx.
pended in building up manufactures
in our midst, would benefit the city
and county more than four times that
amount expended for more railroads.

EDITOR NEWS: Mr.. John Bran
hill, pioneer OF Lyon county, has
been dangerously i'll. On Thursday,
the Goth of June, he was fling his
breaking pillow. The handle of the file
split, letting his hand against the
pointed end of the file. 1t pierced the
ball of his hand. Mr.. B. kept at work,
thinking no more of it than if lie had
been pierced by pin. The third day
afterwards, as he started blowing in
the morning, the pillow struck q red
root, which required heavy pressure
on the handles of the pillow to keep it in
the aground. He then felt, for the
first, piercing pain darting from his
hand up his arm, lodging in his right
breast. He kept at work till noon.
On going 10 the house he bathed his
hand in water. The pain in his breast
then became so intense he had to be
helped into the house. His breast
swelied so there was bunch on it as
large as a quart basin. There was a
doctor from the southern part of the
State in the neighborhood visiting
with his brother. The doctor was
summoned, examined his hand, arm
and breast, and. recommended poultice
and linament, saying he would be well
in few days. Mr.. B. continued get
ting worse. Or the 10Th DIR. True |
worthy was summoned. In less than |
two hours DIR. Truewortly was at Mr. |
BIS, twenty miles from Emperia. On |
his hand DIR. Trueworthy |
found the file had pierced the ball of
the hand ee-fourths of an inch. The |
hand bot swelling any, the pain and
had concentrated in the
right breast, and from the breast there
were piercing pains darting to differ
cnt parts of the body. 1t then requir-
ed medical skill to prevent Mr.. b.
from having the lock jaw. On July
10th, DIR. Trueworthy, assisted by DIR.
Lawrence, laneed Mr.. B. on the side,
under the right arm, taking a halt
gallon of matter from his side. Mr..
Bramhill is now recovering. His
family feel they owe DR.. Trueworthy a
lebt of gratitude that words are not
leep enough 20 fathom, for his prompt
ness. w.

THE GREAT CHILL CuRE!-Dr. Will
hoft's Anti-Periodic and Ague Cure
has been before the public for years
and has never failed to c fleet a cure
when taken according to directions.
1t acts promptly in curing all malar-
ial fevers and prevents all the disgust
ing sequel9 ofthose diseases, which SO
often follow badly treated cases of
chills, such as enlarged spleen and i'm
paired constitutions. 1t is safe for
family use, because it is innocent; the
tender babe and the specialized grand
mother in the corner can use it with
as much impunity as the robust man
who tolls in the sun and supports his
family by honest and honorable labor.
No arscnic-no strychnIne-no quiz
nine-no poison of any kind enters
into its composition. The best and
most enlightened physicians prescribe
it, and often take it themselves. 1t is
cheap and reliable and never fails.
Sold by all druggists.

CENTER TOWNSHIP.


Oat harvest is over, except few late
pieces, and the yield is exceedingly
good. There is a better prospect for
corn than at this time last year.
On last Saturday week four young
men passed through this settlement
inquiring the way to Cofeyville. That
night they camped on Rock creek,
near Stewart Martindale's, and in the
night they cook Stewards bride and
saddle and cattle whip, and Amos
Miliners's also, and four blankets from
Fisher, and the next Monday William
Martindale, Stewart Martindale and
others started in pursuit, and over
took them near Independence, Kansas,
and brought them back to Eureka.
Two of them was acquitted and two of
them are boarding with John Bay.
On last Saturday night, just after
Mr.. Daniel Blakeley and his hired man
had retired for the night, they heard
their horse bell rattling at fearful
rate, whereupon they mounted and
went over to see what the trouble was.
They saw a man trying to throw q
lariat over the bell horses neck. They
sat on their horses and looked at him
for some time, and at last they made a
rush to catch him. He broke to run.
Mr.. Blakeley snapped both barrels of
his piece at him, but it failed to so off.
He told his hired man, Mr.. Cass, to
fire. lie fired three shots, the second
taking effect, and the man yelled lust
lily. Next morning they went to look
for him. They could find his tracks
and blood, but could not find the vic
tim. And now madam rumor says
that DR.. Raybell is tending a man that
was shot the same night. He lives a
few miles below Madison.
Il would say to those who feel like
doing likewise, that is the way we al
ways serve them on Verdigris.

EmfonIA MANUFACTURES.
The New Embellishments OF John Nc
Donald.

4
We presume but few of our readers
are aware of the extent and variety OF
the operations now being carried on in
wood manufacture, at the foot of Com
merciaI street, by John Mcdonald,
Esq. His factory fills the entire stone
building adjoining the Emporia water
mills. In the basement or lower story
are placed the lathes, grind stones,
emery wheels, &C., and here are stored
large quantities of material, in var
ions stages of preparation. On the
first or main flour there is one of the
finest planning machines in the west,
capable of doing any kind OF work ever
done by such machinery. Next comes
a molding machine, which cuts all
kinds of straight holdings, from the
simplest to the most elaborate pat
terms. Near by is beautiful little
machine for cutting circular and seq
ment holdings, or any irregular form
desired. Then there is 4 tenoning
machine, adapted to any sized work
desired, and of course mortising ma
chine TO correspond. Then there is q
sash sticker, which does its delicate
work like magic. Also band saws,
which will cut brackets and scroll
work of any desired pattern with great
rapidity. There are circular and 9TH
er saws, and small machinery and tools
In great variety. In short, almost eve
rYthing which can be made of wood,
can be manufactured here. Mr.. Nc
Donald, who has the contract for build
Ing the new Normal building, is now
working nearly his entire force ON that
Job, making his own holdings, sash,
doors, &C., in his own factory. Orders
from abroad are already coming in for
brackets, scroll work, &C.,
md he is able TO supply the whole |
southern part Of the State with such |
work on shSrt notice, and at prices far
below hand work. After the compile
ion of his present contract, u large |
oFce of workmcn will be put on to
he manufacture of furniture of all |
kinds, but making speciality of school
md church furniture. The demand
or these articles Is growing into i'm
nense proper tions, and vast sums of
money are annually sent east, which
an just as well be kept at home. It
will we'll repay visit to this factory
o sec what is being done by one man,

How TO PRESERVE HEALTH IN sum
MER.-If people would preserve their
health in this hot weather, they must
avoid all kinds of excitement, drink
very little stlmulaRts, keep clear of ice
water, not hurry through the streets as
though they were running footrace,
take warm baths two or three times q
week, eat easily diyested food, and get
as much sleep as possible, More peo-
pie are killed in warm weather by AK
haustion than by sunstroke, and moth
Ing Is so conducive to exhaustion as
want of rest. The best drink at this

and strong liquors. If health would
be maintained, temperance must be
the rule in eating and drinking.
