An Eye Opener

Keep your eye open tight while we
whisper truth in your ear. In the corner
store in Bancroft block is a small boot an
shoe store where they cannot sell you
goods for ten per cent. less than cost, and
If we said we did no sensible man would
believe 1t. 1t would be a downright lie,
and we would not give ourselves away
In so barefaced 3 manner, but it is an
easily proven fact that our prices are the
lowest OF any in EmpOria. And why
shouldn't they ber We sell more boots
and shoes than any OF these modest bank
rupt and below-cost advertisers, and can
afford to sell closer. Our ambition know Z
no limit. We will increase our business
till we die, but there is only one way to
increase 1t that we know Of, and that is
telling the truth in the newspapers and in
the store, and this accounts for the popu-
larity OF the corner boot and shoe store
Evans presldes over.

Portrait Painting.

Mr.. II. 0. Allen, of Winterset, Iowa,
arrived in our city few days ago, and
has opened studio in the back room Of
W. A. Randolph's law office. Mr.. Allen
has been in the portrait painting business
thirtv-fiYe years, and shows some fine
specimens of his handiwork. He has
lately visited Ottawa, Lawrence and
Atchison, where he painted several por-
traits tor citizens of those towns The
Atchison Daily Champion has this to say
of his work:
81. o. Allen, Esq, yesterday completed
nearly a life size portrait of Mayor C..
Rohr. It was on exhibition yesterday in
the post office. and was pronounced by
the hundreds of people who examined 1t
10 be almost a life-like picture of Mr..
ROhr. Mr.. Allen is one of the best and
most skillful artists in the country. II
any of our citizens desire a life-lIke por-
trait they can have 1t by calling at the
Avenue House.
Mr.. Allen is undoubtedly fine artist,
and his visit here, the length of which
will be measured by the encouragement
he meets with, affords an excellent op-
portunity for our people to obtain por-
traits which will live long after they are
gone. This opportunity ought not to be
allowed to pass by. He has already Ia
ken some orders, and his work, will speak
for itself. His prices are very reasonable,
to suit the times, and we advise our peo-
pie to see him, especially those wanting
good portraits.

One year ago the Chicago Lumber Co.,
with every confidence in the future Of
our city, put in a stock of lumber here.
Since that time their trade has gradually
increased, and in the short space of a
year they have built up q substantial
business second to none in Kansas
Their trade extends to a radius of seven
ty miles from this point, and teams are
daily loaded for Eureka, Hartford and
other points. To those parties who have
so literally patronized them and helped
them to achieve their present success,
they desire to exten Il their thanks, and to
those who have not heretofore dealt with
them they extend q cordial invitation to
examine their stock and get their prices.
They point with satisfaction to their pres
ent low prices, Notwithstanding short.
age IN the log crop, unparalleled in the
history of the lumber trade. And al
though logs are to-day worth from S6 to
$40 per NJ. more than year ago they are
selling at prices as low as those in force
when they came here. In order to meet
the constant demand for lime, sand, plas-
ter, cement, hair, &C., they have put in a
full stock of these goods and have erect
ed an alright lime house where fresh
lime, plaster, cement, &c. can always be
obtained at bottom figures. Their prices
are as low as can be obtained anywhere
and In reply to q statement made by one
OF the papers that Burlington dealers are
selling lower than Emporia dealers, they
wish to state that their prices are and al
ways have been as low as at Burlington
or any other surrounding yards, and they
having introduced the Chicago standard
of grading, which is one grade higher
than usually adopted in this country,
their grades are fifteen per cent. better.
In order to meet their increasing needs
they have built additional sash and door
room, stable, &C and are now in shape
to supply any articles in their line at pri-
ces that will defy competition. Purchas-
ers are requested TO call and see them and
perfect satisfaction is guaranteed both as
to grades and prices.

From conversation with several MEM
bers OF the knight Templars' Band, of
this city, we learn they Will accompany
the Kansas editorial excursion to Putin
Bay, IL the members Of the association de-
sire them to do SO, and Will pay simply
their necessary expenses on the trip. AS
near as we can estimate it would cost
from $40 to S25 per day to take them, or
5000 to $3.50 for the trip, which we think
could be easily raised by small contri-
button from each member OF the associa-
ton. The presence OF this band would
add greatly to the enjoyment and eclat OF
the trip. The band is composed OF ten
members. and we do not hesitate to as
sert IT is the best one west OF the Mississ-
ippi. 1t will be remembered this .nd
took the first premiu m at the Kansas City
Exposition last fall over three Of the lest
bands In the west, General JEFF. c. Da
Wis, competent musician. being chair
maA OF the awarding committee. Its
playing attracted general attention and
admiration along the entire route OF the
great Masonic excursion to Cleveland last
summer. The members are substantial
and permanent residents OF this city. are
handsomely uniformed, and make a fine
appearance.
The proposition to have the band ac-
company the excursion meets " it'll favor
from Col. Martin, President Of the asso-
citation, who says he believes he can ar
range for the transportation, and also,
that ats presence would add very much
to the pleasure of the trip"
Now, what do you say, edItorsr Does
the proposition meet with your afirma-
tive vote? 1t would probably cost each
Of you % to $3.50. Will you go down
for your "weasel sl1ins' and have the boss
Dand make music while we ride and eat
free dinners, and have q good time gen.
orally. II the band goes, it will take the
members some days to get ready, and
hence we suggest that those who intend
to join the excursion drop q postal card
at once to this office saying whether the
company OF the band is desired, and
whether they are willing to ''put up"
their proportion for their services. II
favorable answers are received from
enough to insure the undertaking the
band will at once go to work and get up
some Of the finest new music you ever
heard, and will put in an appearance at
Atchison in due time. Send In the cards
at once.

FELL IN WELL.--Monday forenoon
some boys passing near the Old foundry
site heard a noise from an open well there,
and looking into it saw a man about 40
feet from the surface. clinging to beam
which crossed the well, which had been
put there to uphold pump. They ran
to the n. X. d I. depot and gave the
alarm, and Messrs. Rogers and Burnett
and some others, gSt the man out, Mr..
Rogers going down into the well and put
ting rope around the man, by which he
was hauled Sp, stiff and almost dead.
There was 20 feet of water below him,
and clinging to the beam was all that had
saved him from drowning. He was
brought to town on Fleming's dray, and
taken to DIR. Morris, who soon had him
able to talk and walk. Returned out to
be q Mr.. Herbert, section hand Of Will
eox's section on the NJ. K. & 7. road. He
had accidently fallen into the well early
in the forenoon, ana was there several
hours before being taken out. 1t is very
wrong to leave such traps uncovered, and
somebody should be made to pay dam
ages. There is an old well near GIlmore's
old furniture store on 9th avenue, that
has some sticks of cordwood over it, but
it ought to be substantially covered, and
probably other such places about town.
Cover or fill them up, before somebody lie
hurt or killed.

One of the tornado accid nts not before
published was that the wind moved j. II.
Phillips house, on Jabobs creek, from
its foundation, racking it badly, but Mr..
Phillips got 1t back again In pretty good
shape. Had his house not been excep-
tionAlly strong AMI heavy, it would have
gone to pieces. 1t was very heavy ma
tive lumber house, well braced and filled
in with to s tons Of brick and mortar,
with one large and one small wing, and it
was all picked up and carried 111z FEET.
Mr.. Phillips says he saw the tornado COM
ing from the north in this shape: He
saw apparently, two miles away, three
whirlwinds begin to form on the ground,
and grow taller and palmer as they ad-
Vanced. One was q slim whirling col
umn, exactly like the little whirlwinds
that are often seen to whIsk around e
street corner. Opposite 10 1t was a whirl-
wind that looked to be. the size and shape
OF a bushel basket at first, and which
spread out and grew high at the same
time, with a rolling smoky appearance.
Behind this was another slim whirlwind
column black as ink, which soon caught
up and entered into the rolling one be-
fore it, and these two combined int
one great seethIng. smoky, boiling like
mass about 100 feet wide and very high,
its top glIstening like ice and the whole
thing more like a rolling avalanche of
smoke and cloud than any thing else Mr..
Phillips could hken 1t to. In these whirl-
winds he saw plainly boards, fragments
and other m after they had picked up
from the earth, all whirling around In a
chaotic and bewildering way, and the
next moment the hous was struck and
carried of its foundation. He thinks the
Bogue houses were struck by the full
force of the avalanche-like cloud, and
that his house was on one Of its edges.
Mrs. Phillips happened to be at Mrs.
Spillman's house when that went to pie
ces, and as soon as possible Mr.. Phillips
went and found her lying out on the
ground SO bruised by the hail that he
could not at first recognize her. The hail
knocked part of her hair of, making q
bald spot on top of her head, and she
was black and blue from head to feet.
