We now have another chance to secure
a useful, and what we believe to be a
profitable mandatory in Emporia. We
had call the other day from Mr.. j. G..
Strain, from Delaware, Ohio, patentee Of
the celebrated Delaware chairs, known
as the Grecian post split bottom chairs.
He has come to Kansas to locate, and
brought with him q lot Of machinery, and
is ready to engage in a mandatory.
Many years ago he started the Delaware
factory, and it now furnishes employ
ment for from 70 to 100 hands. He start
ed similar factory at Rock Falls, ILL.,,
which has met with like success. These
chairs are sold all over the country, their
brand making a demand for them. Mr..
Strain believes this to be an excellent
point for such an establishment, he hay-
ing Investigated our water power and
shipping facilities. Arrangements can be
made for the buildings and power, and
all Mr.. Strain wants is q small amount Of
capital to Inaugurate the enterprise. He
has no doubt but that it would prove q
success. We hope some Of our people
will investigate this matter. Mr.. STRAIN
will meet any party at any time st THE
NEWS office, and give full information, by
addressing him q card through the En-
poria post office.

Rev. J. Il. Clark, OF the Presbyterian
church, addressed his sermon last Sab
bath night to business men, taking his
text from Matthew vii. 21-"The Golden
Rule" which he characterized as ChrIst's
summing up OF the duties Of man to his
Tellows-in answer to the second great
commandment of Glove your neighbor as
yourself" AS applied to business men it
required the cultiyating Of the great car
dinal virtues, chief among which are tn
tegrity and kindness; or as expressed by
one OF the prophets, edo justly and love
mercy" These were presented as bal
ancing each other; also as the two great
pillars which sustain the true mercantile
character. Possessed OF them q man can
not fail of good reputation, and othOr
things being equal, they will insure him
business success ultimately.
Application was made to the relation
of the merchant to his employees. They
were urged to be both just and merciful
to them in the duties required, wages
paid, and the hours of service demanded /;
urging that these questions should all be
determined by a standard Of right and not
by custom. Custom may be very wrong
and work great Injustice and unkindness.
Departure from the principles of right in
these matters breaks the bond of sympa-
thy between the employee and employer,
and gives rise to the contest between Ia
Dor and capital and makes trades unions,
strikes and communism possible. Com
munities do not need business that can
not be sustained on the principles Of right.
Mr.. Clark announced his intention OF
giving another discourse, next Sabbath
night, in the same line, addressed to the
| same class.

THE INDEPENDENT CHEESE FACTORY.
In the spring of 1877 Mr.. T. H. White,
OF Americas, built che ese factory and
furnished it with apparatus to make
cheese on the New York factory plan.
He did very well last season, and this
spring Mr.. j. s. Grimsley took q half in
terest in the enterprise, and those two
gentlemen are now running the factory,
doing their own work, including the
milking Of eighty cows, their
own stock, and are making excellent
cheese. We say their cheese is excellent,
because we and various friends have
tasted 10 pound sample one brought
US last Saturday by MIR. Grimsley, and
all agree that it is the best new cheese
tasted this or any other season. It is tip
top, and we are obliged to Messrs. White
d Grimsley for their kindness. We learn
that their factory, which is few miles
south Of Americas, is 3 substantial frame
building, put up expressly for cheese
making, and that they follow the New
York cheese factory method, sparing no
pains to make 8 number one article.
Some Of our grocers are handling the In
dependent facte-y cheese, and find it pop
ular.

ANOTHER uNroRrUNArE.
Sheriff Conner Knabs Another Lover of
Horse Flesh.


Mike Brown is a German who has been
over from the FaderIand but about q
year and half He lived with n. +.
Ames, Just northwest Of the city, for
some months. Last Friday morning ne
quit Mr.. AS employ and remained about
the city until Saturday night. He then
went out and took a couple Of horses from
Ames without the latter's consent, or
without leaving "value received" On
the discovery of the theft Mr.. Ames had
postal cards printed and spread broad
cast by Sheriff Conner. Brown seems to
have been a new hand at carrying on the
horse business In this way. He went
south to Rock creek during the night,
and the next morning inquired Of Mr..
Gilman the road to Hartford. Thence he
went and on down the Neosho to NeoshO
Falls. 1t seems he went through the set
Elements all the way. On Tuesday Sher-
III Conner started, accompanied by Mr.
Ames, in search Of the thief and horses.
Four miles below Hartford they struck
Browns trail. They followed to NeOsho
Falls, arriving there Wednesday about
hail an hour after Brown had been ''taken
in'' by the deputy sheriff OF Woodson
county, who had arrested him on the de-
scr1ption furnished by the postal card.
The sheriff srriVed with the prisoner by
rail Wednesday night, and Brown is now
rejecting IN our palatial jail over the fail
ure OF his enterprise to enrich himself at
Ames' expense, while Ames came up the
river with his two horses on Thursday
