the Emporia post office in 1877.
The amount of stamps, stamped envel-
opes, postal cards, and newspaper wrap
pers sold at Emporia last year was &c.
3O4,21.
After all the banks are pretty well
taxed to support government. The bills
of the two national banks Of this city, for
stamped envelopes alone, last year, were
S76I.21.
The special request stamped envel-
opes are growing in favor. They are first
class, cheap aud very convenient, saving
the losa In spoiled stamps, and the work
OF putting them on letters. Eleven st our
firms bought 81, 10S.21 worth last year.
. The amount of money orders sold last
year was S25, 7OS,9 80; the amount paid
$50, 974, IA. Total business, $76,67S,O9; an
increase of nearly $4,000 over the previous
year. On the Wichita basis of figuring,
hat the credit must balance the debit
sice, the business would foot up $1Ol,.

To show the importance of he regis.
tered letter business in Emporia, we will
state that there were received, receipteC
for and forwarded during 1877, 2.911 let.

Emporia Lodge, Ancient Order of Unit
ed WOrkingmen, having made good be-
ginning in carrying out one of the prinei
pal objects of the order, to aid in the ad-
vancement of art, science and literature

cal entertainment at its excellent hall, in

cal aud instrumental music. That all

Invited friends are cordially requested to

cunonist. He has taught classes In elocu-
ton and given readings in q number o.
teachers institutes in this and other

The coming April election promises to
be very important to the temperance in
terests Of this city. Energy and discre-
ton will prepare our cause for victory.
Carelessness or selfish divisions. will bring
disgrace and defeat. Saloon combina-
lions and plans are already manifest, and
will, with any indulgence, be busy. We
shall see the best "good fellows" that the
license party can control, confidentially
presented, under various pretenses fer
support Beware OF every such approach.
Nine times cut of ten it means mischief TO
our reform. We want no wrong votes
given for any officer because they were
toolishIy promised in advance. Refuse
all pledges Of suffrage or favor until regu-
lar nominations are made on reliable guar
antics. We want no men in our coming
council of uncertain principles.

To day, on attachment, the constable
sold the visible effects of Rev. Parker

too fond of females. He was reported to
be worth $780, 900 when he came here. The
brethren and the sisters took him in.
They made parties innumerable, and in
vited him thereto. He prayed long and
loud, and proclaimed the everlasting Cos
pei with the VigOr of a stallion in spring
time But he did things that were naugh-
ty, though nice. He went after strange
diVinities. A female sheared him. She
got most of his lucre. He has splendid

Last Tuesday Mr.. ConwelI was arrest
ed on complaint of policeman Birdsall,
for selling liquor in violation Of the IL
cense ordinance. Marshal Fleming AMI
Mr. BIrdsalI are resolved to do their duty
by enforcing the ordinance, as they are
bound to do, and it is futile for any par
ties to defy the law. Previous experience,
all the way up to the Supreme Court, has
established the fact that the law can be
enforced, and we regret to see men make
themselves liable to its penalties. The
officers have no choice but to do their du'
ty, and any party who violates the ordi
nande should be made TO understand tha'
the will OF the people must prevail.
The examination OF Mr.. Cohwell will
not take place until Monday, and mean
