An Appeal to our People.


1t Is the purpose OF the ladies OF the
Christian Work Society to send at an ear
ly day 10 the Home" in LeaVenworth q
contribution Of supplies from EmporIa.
We solicit all Kinds Of goods, groceries,
provisions, articles Of clothing, house
hold goods OF every kind-anyIhIng that
could be made use Of in any family. The
plan is to solicit contributions OF one
pound packages Of whatever goods or ar
ticles any one may wish to give. This OF
course does not NECESSARILY limit the dona-
ton to one pound, but IL is thought that
In this way gre alter variety of goods
can De collected, and Will not only fur
nish the more substantial articles indis-
pensable in every family, but Will In
clude also delicacies for the sick Of who m
there are always a number in the Home.
Ladies will canvass the city for the pur-
pose Of soliciting these contributions, and
it Is hoped and believed that their efforts
will meet with hearty and generous re-
Spouse from the people Of Emporia, as the
work OF these ladies will necessarily be
limited to the city, we trust that this no.
tice will reach many outside OF the city
who will desire to aid In this noble work.
It is requested that the contributions be
sent to the house OF the treasurer, Mrs.
z. B. Plumb, on Wednesday afternoon,
June 9th.

was in condition so that stealthy foot

murder was committed in full mo Onlight,
with another man lying some 20 feet away,

Il is the most cowardly, fiendish, and

and the county will promptly offer such

The universal desire throughO2 the city

THE FUNERAL
Took place at the residence of the family
this (Thursday) morning. 1t twas attend
ed by hundreds Of people, both the
spacious house and grounds being full,
who went to pay the last tribute OF re-
spect to one who they esteemed highly,
and tender their deep felt sympathy to the
the stricken parents, and brothers and
sisters. All the business houses were
closed from a. m. to II. The services
were conducted by Rev. Mr.. Clack, assist
ed by Revs. Pye and Shan non. The re-
mains we're placed upon the brick walk in
front OF the house, in an appropriate bur.
rial case, amid the trees, where the
friends took the farewell view Of the face
so familiar to them. The scene presented
when the members of the family looked
for the last time upon the face Of the son
and brOther-the one on whom the hopes
or the family depended-was one that
melted the strongest heart present.
Could the wretch who was the cause of
this sorrow have heard the grief stricken
expressions, he would have been moved
to bitter remorse unless his heart is be-
yond all human Impressions. The
funeral moved about u O'Clock to
MaplewOOd cemetry followed by the
longest funeral procession ever seen in
this vicinity.
Thus closed the final scene OF the most
cruel and cold bloode1 tragedy which
ever occurred in this county.
