THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. doubt has ex-
listed among many or our people with
reference to the proposed library associ-
alton, but such will be glad to learn that
the persistent efforts ofthe directors have
at last triumphed, and that Emporia to-
day has IA handsomely arranged reading
room and library in the rooms just COM
pleted by ID. w. Morris, over the Famous
boot and shoe store. A large amount of
shelving has been put up, and our citi-
zens should see to it that these shelves
are filled with good books. One book
donated by each family in Emporia
would place us on equal footing with
any city in the state in this respect Let
everybody who has an interest in the
prosperity of our city, surprise the
antheneum with n handsome present.

Coon WATKR.-The city council has
found "a splendid natural filter at the
Neosho, and will probably locate the
water works there. A large well has
been dug near the bank where high
water overfiows but few inches, and a
wall can keep all surface water out.
The well is now 80 feet deep, which is
O feet deeper than low water mark in
the river. II has feet of water coming
in very freely through that depth of clear
gravel, and there is feet more of gravel
TO 90 through. The filtration is excel
lent, and the water is pronounced to be
first class.

THAT SHow.-There seems to he a
slight difference of opinion as TO the
merits of that minstrel show Saturday
night. For instance, one reporter says
"1'he Valley Minstrels were not greet
ed by a very full house on Saturday even
ing, but if we are to judge the amuse-
ment afforded by the amount of cheer
ing that was done, the audience must
have been exceedingly well pleased
And another writer hands this in:
THE niger minstrel concert troup
that performed Saturday evening at Ban
croft hall, was most disreputable affair,
and those unacquainted with the senior
defendent in the Joe Williams libel suit
are surprised that he should have allow.
ed the use of his hall for any such pur-
pose. The show was OF such character
that captain North and chaplain Lutz
could not stand it and left. Further
comment is unnecessary"
