know, and respect him as straight,
fair dealing merchant.
He is now connected with Stettauel
Bros & Co., of Chicago, who rank
among the largest dealers in dry goods
and notions of the whole west. The
firm is exceedingly fortunate in Sc.

SOMETHING ABOUT GOING EAST.-The
shortest possible route between the Great
West and the East, North and South, is
over the st. Louis, Kansas City and
Northern Short Line. This road has gain
ed surprising Importance by reason of
immense expenditures in the last two
years, of over two millions dollars, be-
sides earnings, in improvements of road
way, in re-laying their line with best
quality of new steel and iron rails, on
broad new ties, and by substituting for
ordinary cars, new reclining chair coaches,
elegantly carpeted and fitted. with dress
ing rooms with toilet conveniences for Ia
dies, gentlmen and families travelling with
children, aoithout any extra charge. This
line runs six fast express trains betw cen
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, two
more than any other road, and connects
with all the great through lines East,
West, North ard south. It is remarkably
exempt from accidents bv reason OF adopt
ing every modern appi Inee for comfort,
speed and safety, including night and day
watchmen, who inspect the road before
and after the passage of each train to see
that everything is secure. We recon-
mead those contemplating trip East to
take the st. Louis, Kansas City 81 North
ern Short Line, either through st. Louis,
the great metropolis Of over al, 900 inhab-
itants, or through Chicago, via the Chica-
go g. Alton short line, over the Louisiana
Bridge now open for passage of through
trains. Ticket Agents of connec ting
roads selling tickets TO the East, North or
South, will furnish tickets by this excel
lent line. For map, circulars, time cards

TROUBLED WATERS. - Dispatches
from Paris report that the ImperialIsts
are busily at work throughout France,
in the interest of the Prince Imperial,
to place him upon the throne, while
France is in a worse state of anarchy
than ever. So the world moves on.
Kingdoms rise and fall. Europe is
convulsed with wars and rumors of
wars, but through all these considera-
lions the citizens of Emporia still re-
tain that calm and serene look,
which comes from conscious rec
tItude, and the knowledge that
Perley & Bearce are on hand again
this spring with another large stock of
spring and summer clothing. They
have got on some OF the finest suits
ever brought to this market and they
are going of fast. They have also got
the latest styles of hats and caps.
They are nobby and take well. Their
boot and shoe department has also been
well stocked for the spring trade,
ANY of our readers wishing anything
in their line would do well to give
them a call before purchasing else
where. See advertisement.

Thirty Years Experience Of an Old
Nurse.
Mrs. winsiOwS' Soothing Syrup is the pre-
scription of one of the best female physicians
and nurses in the United States, and has been
used for thirty years with never failing safe
ty and success by millions of mothers and
children, from the feeble infant of one week
old to the adult. 1t corrects aeidity of the
stomach. relieves wind collie, regulates the
bowels, and gives rest, health and comfort to
mother and child. We believe it to be the
best and surest remedy in the world in all
cases OF dysentery and diarrlloea in children,
whether it arises from teethng or from any
other cause. Full directions for using will
accompany each bottle. None genuine unless

Go EAST BY WAY OF ST. LoUIs.-In
these days of railroad competition the
wise traveller selects his route before
leaving home. In almost every in
stance he desires to reach his destina-
ton as speedily as possible, and for the
accomplishment OF that purpose the
Missouri Pacific Through Line from
the West to the East, via Kansas City
and st. Louis, offers inducements I'M
surpassed by any other line in the
country. Everything connected with
the Missouri Pacific X. r. is first-class,
and the adoption of the Miller Plat
form and the Westinghouse Air Brake,
together with its Pullman Sleepers,
and Reclining Chair Coaches, render a
trip over the line perfectly safe and
pleasant. Passengers from all parts OF
the West by taking its express trains
at Kansas City, Leavenworth, Atchison
and other prominent cities, are landed
in ST. Louis at seasonable hours morn
ing and evening, and in ample time to
make direct connection with all
railroads for every point in the
North, East and South. Partic-

sponded With aid, but instead, I have
received a great number Of letters from
as many Oranges asking if Patrons on
the frontier we're still in need of help,
and what was wanted, &c. I take this
method of answering these numerous
inquiries. Very many Patrons in this
vicinity are still in great need Of aid.
What is wanted most now is seed grain,
and this they must have from some source
or they will not be able to put in crop
this season. There are about thirteen
Oranges within the district devastated
by grasshoppers last summer, and have
taken much pains to learn their respect
i've wants. They are in absolute need
of from so to 900 bushels of seed grain
to the Grange, according to the men,
bership. We expected liberal re-
sponse to the call for aid in behalf of
the needy Patrons of the unfortunate
frontier, but as yet our expectations have
not been realized. I am still in hopes
however that our brothers in the older
portions of the State will either help US
to the grain or the means whereby to
procure it. But if anything is done it
must be done quickly for seeding time
is almost at hand. Surely they will not
desert us in this time Of our greatest
need. Yours fraternally,
