The knights rsmplar Party.

AAo - AABAtD 4CAAPA1E 0EAJ-
The party at Bancroft hall Wednesday
night, in honor OF Washington's birth
day, was q complete succe 8 In every par
tIcuIar. The various committees who
had charge OF all the arrangements did
everything to make 1t pleasant for those
who attended. The hall was trimmed
with evergreen. In the afternoon the
Emporia COmmandery, in full uniform,
and headed by the Knights Templar
band, paraded Commercial street, going
! through drill, and at the hour for the ar
rival OF the tram from Topeka halted at
the Commercial street crossing, to receive
and escort the Topeka CommAndery to
Fowler's hall, which had been arr anged
for their reception. Twenty-fi OF the To-
peka Commandery were in line. March
ing up town they went through some
interesting manaeuvers, under command
OF K. Z. Torrington. The condition OF the
street was such that 1t afforded very
poor opportunity for this sort of exercise.
We have been unable to obtain the names
Of the Topeka party, but remember those
of General Tom. Anderson and wife, r. e.
Tcrrington and wife, Mrs. John Sebas-
tian, Attorney General Davis and wife,
and Sir Knights Sheldon, Callahan, Mar
tin, Kellam and others. The dancing
was commenced andkept up for several
hours. The music was furnished by the
Emporia orchestra. The large hall was
crowded with people for some time, but
many going home left room sufficient.
Several fine features were the entrance of
the Knights IN uniform, and their militia
ry eVOlutions and grand march, and an
other was q splendid concert by the
Knights Templar band before supper.
About one O'Clock in the morning most
Of the Topeka party left for home on
special train. AS a social event this par
ty has had no superior in Emporia. All
who attended speak Of it as the leading
party In the annals of the town, and
praise the Knights as entertainers. Sup
per was served at the Delmonico. and
was gotten up in MIS-. BIrdsalps best style.
Those who have tested her suppers on
similar occasions need be told nothing
more than that this was one of her best
efforts

Ano,bor LOAN A..o.Iat,on.

We are informed that = several OF our
citizens have, in view Of the closing out
IN June or July next, OF the EmporiA
Mutual Loan Association, organized
a new enterprise OF similar character,
under the name Of the Lyon County Mu-
tual Loan Association, and that the books
for subscription to its capital stock are
at the EmpOria Savings Bank. All who
desire to take stock are requested TO call
there and subscribe. The shares are
300 each. Weekly payments are % cts.
per share. The number Of shares to be
determined by the number taken. The
temporary directors are j. N. Griffith, E.
p. Bruner, DIR. j. A. Young, 1. D. Fox,
q. Dunlap, Fred Haussier, A. G. Lakin,
rhos. Stone and A. 8. Smith. We have
not been furnished with copy OF the
constitution and bylaws under which
{ Lyon County Loan Association Is ex
pected to work, but presume from the
names Of the temporary directors, that II
will be conducted in substantially the
manner In which the present association
has been. We had expected the organi-
cation OF q new association about the
first OF July next, but as one has already
been organized we defer our judgment as
to time to parties whose experience in
the matter is greater than ours. We
would, however, suggest, for the consid-
Grafton Of stockholders of the new assoct
alton, that one Improvement on the pres
emit one, would be constitutional proviS-
ion requiring not less than $1o0 per year
to be expended in advertising he assOcia-
ton, and that this expenditure would
pay . large percentage in the way OF pre-
miums on bids for loans. However, We
do not care to urge point that might
seem to come from interested motives.
The present loan association has done 8
great deal Of good, and commended
itself to the appreciation - Of mos
OF our business men and OF its stock
holders. Its officers have served faithful
ly and efficiently, and with public spirit
that ought to be appreciated. There is M
better or more practicable way for mos
people to save money than by paying
loan association dues every week-equiV
alent to savings banks deposits and safeI
and the new association has our bes
wishes for its success

List OfPeach Trees for south

1AGA3S9ASs
Now is the time for planting fruit
trees. In peach trees recommend
the following: Emporia, Alexander,
Early Louisa, Hale's Early, Early Riv-
ers, Mountain Rose, Large Early York.
Foster, Crawfords Early, Reeves,
Moore's, Old Nixon Free, Wards,
Stump The World, Christina, Shiply's
Late, Silver Medal, Brandy Wine,
Heath Cling, Salway, Bilyues Late,
Steadily. The above will keep up a
succession for about 16 or Is weeks,
and ripen nearly in order as named.
Some of the late kinds may be kept
for several weeks by wrapping paper,
and put in small boxes and keep in a
cool cellar. They can all be had at
from 10 to 20 cents each. There are
several good kinds left out because
they ripen with other kinds that are
nearly like them. The apricot ripens
just before the earliest peaches, and
pays well. They are not so hardy
and reliable as the peach. AS time ad-
vances varieties of fruits seem to
change; some kinds that stood at the
head of list 10 or II years ago, are now
left out and their places filled by 9TH
ers that were then discarded. We have
a great many new kinds of peaches on
probation, but they are mostly high,
and likely some of them will prove
worthless. CHARLES HINsHAW.

A Rare Dramatic entertainment.


The art Of elocutlon was most admira-
bly, and successfully exhibited at Ban
croft Hall. Tuesday evening, of last week,
by Mr.. Homer ID. Cope, who rendered
alone and unaided the entire drama OF
Damon and Pythias. The attempt seemed
impracticable-the effort was q splendid
success. Mr.. Cope illustrated what elo-
cution of the highest type can accom-
plish. The drama is one that can well
engage the efforts OF q large and able
company, with all that costume, scenes
and other aPpurtenences can do to assist
in its presentation. Mr.. Cope, in a SIM
pie evening dress, with no change OF cos
tune or scenes, n aid from any person,
none of the usual stage appliances, with
out even programme, rendered the play
by taking each character in succession,
male and female, king and courIier, sena-
tor and soldier. patriot and slave, man,
woman and child, reciting each part SO
naturally, and powerfully, as to enable
his audience to comprehend the plot and
progress OF the play, and experience the
emotions which it naturally excites. The
applause at the close of Mr.. Cope's wen-
derfulIy able rendition of so extraordi-
nary task, showed the appreciation Of
his efforts. He closed the evenings en-
tertainment with q humorous darkey SER
mon on the question of emotional reli-
giou, in a manner that convulsed the au-
dience with laughter, and gave further
evidence of his great elocutionary ability.
Mr.. Cope is a whole company in himself
and the knights Of Pythias, who secured
his coming here. may feel satisfied they
furnished a rare intellectual entertain.

THE Boss FEED CooKKR.-We haYe
examined the various feed cookers which
have been exhibited here from time to
time, and pronounced some of them good,
but decidedly the best one we have seen
was that which is now being introduced
into Lyon and Coffey counties by T. NJ.
GruwelI. Mr.. Gruwell is q resident of
Usage City, bnt was an early settler in
Lyon county, and is well known 70
hundreds of our readers. He Is full Of
faith i'll the superior merits of the feed
cooker we refer to, and has good reason
TO be. We regard it as the most effctiYe
1t took the premium over all others at the
last Ohio State fair, and is sometimes
called the Ohio State premium cooker.
The application of downward draft is
very novel and works to a charm, and it
is the first "self-feeding wood stove," we
have seen. The cooking is done very
quickly, and the apparatus can be lifted
into or out of frames or other vessels in q
minute, thus not combining its heating
power to any one thing. A farmer, who
properly estimates the value of cooked
food for stock, cannot see one Of these
cookers without wanting it, and there is
no question but what one Of them would
save ITS cost many times a year even
where but moderate amount of stock is
kept. We advise our farmers to give the
Boss feed cooker careful inspection as
fast as they have an opportunity. Mr..
GruwelI will make a thorough canv ass of
the county, taking his cooker to every
neighborhood so that all may see it in
operation.

fall, and who, It Will be remembered,

should suppose that there are enough
Democrats in Lyon and surrounding
counties to give q paper Of their faith 6
good support 1t is certainly the duty oil
every Democrat In the county to now
step forward and subscribe for 1t at once.
Many Republicans will undou btedIy dc
the same thing. We are glad TO learn
that the paper is all to be printed In EN-
porla-that 1t Is not to be . patent.

Forest E1ffl School, Exhibition.
We were present at the exhibition
given by the school at Forest Hill, on
the 18th, and must say that we with
mauy others were greatly and agreea-
bly, surprised at the rendering of the
several exercises, which consisted of
declarations, dialogues, essays, tab
leaux and singing. The scholars ac-
Quilted themselves in a manner that re-
Elected great credit on themselves and
their teacher, Mr.. Scott. For three
hours and half did the large aud
fence (many OF whom were standing)
attentiYely listen, and watch the exer-
cises as they passed on and of the
stage with the rapidity and precision
of well trained troupe. We could
hardly realize that so many useful les
sons could be taught in an exhibition,
so much information given with SO
much pleasure. Mr.. Anderson Hun
ter added greatly to the entertainment
by furnishing excellent music and
solos. BADGER CREEK.
The report of Forest Hill school for
the term of five months, ending Feb.
10Th, shows Oh enrolment OF 81 pupils
with an average 2225. Porter Hunter
attended every day, Willie Fugue, two
days; David Thomas, one-half; Jennie
Jones one day, and their department
with several others is marked perfect
wish to add in connection with the
above report that the school Is q. very
pleasant one to teach. Scholars are
very studiOus and cheerfully comply
to all rules and requirements. Nearly
all from beginning. to end maintain
perfect department.. I am greatly in
debted to the patrons and their undi-
vided and cheerful support. Their in
terest in the school was encouraging
to scholars and teacher, and If we have
accomplished a good work, we owe our
success in the past Co them. We would
like to suggest, that patrons of schools
throughout our county take a more
lively interest in our schools. Let
your interest commence with the
school, get your children ready for the
first day, send them regularly, and
punctually, supply them with the
necessary books as well as you can.

BADLY HURr.-we regret to learn that
tvolney " right, son OF DR.. J.J. Wright,
OF this city, met with q serious accident
on Monday evening, by which he came
near losing his life. he had been in the
city making purchases, riding home
horseback as Is his custom. Arriving at
home he dismounted, but owing to the
stirrup Of ,his saddle being smaller than
he was accustomed to use, hts LETT foot
caught In It. He sat his market basket
down, his foot remaining in the stirrup.
This act frightened his horse, and he
jumped, throwing Vo.ney TO the ground
The horse Immediately ran to the gate
where It was accustomed to enter ths
grounds, dragging the young man BY the
foot. The lefs side OF his face was much
bruised, and soon swelled terribly. For.
funately hIn father was ut hand, and IN
