Accidentally Shot

In THE NEWS of the 18th it was

Judge PeytOn on the AmendmeI.


The Methodist church was well filed
Sunday evening by a large congregation
which assembled to hear Judge Peyton's
address on the constitutional amendment.
The Judge has been for years an untiring
laborer in the cause of temperance re-
form, and has given the subject much
careful and intelligent research. He is
very strongly in favor Of the amendment,
believing that it will prove long stride
in the direction of suppressing the liq-
our traffic in Kansas, and refuted, by
some very sound arguments. the claims
of those opposed to the measure, that its
passage would result in the free sale of
whisky all over the state. Judge Pey-
ton claims that wherein the amendment
may prove insufficient to the accomplish
ment of the end which it proposes, the
legislature will have ample power to
supplement its provisions and render it
perfectly feasible for prohibition to pro
hibit His citation of data in support of
his position was able and convincing,
and we have reason TO believe that his
lecture that evening resulted in no small
measure of benefit TO the temperance
causc in EmDOria

boarding. Clubs.

We learn that 1t is the purpose to es-
tablish one or more boarding clubs in
this city for the benefit of students at
tending the State Normal. This method
of subsistence is quite common at all
eastern colleges, and as means of quar-
antining against the Inconvenience of
celibacy defies successful competition.
The members form a confederation,
among which the expenses of the mess
are divided A steward is elected or ap-
pointed, who does the buying of the
provisions, and the only thing that is
then wanting to complete the plan, is
a suitable party who can furnish din
ing room and cook for the club for a
consideration. This mode of living is
said TO have many advantages over the
system of boarding around, and depend
ing upon such accommodations as can
be procured among our citizens. Such
OF our readers as are interested in this
matter and think tavorably of the plan,
will find it 10 their advantage to consult
without delay with Prof. Sadler, who
has the matter in charge.

c. n. Sterry has resigned his position
as City Solicitor, and 1. f. Lambert has
been appointed by the city council to fill
the vacancy thus caused. The reason
assigned fer Mr.. Sterry's resignation is
that he was engaged prior to his election
as counsel in suit which Is likely to
result in litigation between his client
and the city, and feeling that he could
not do justice to both in his position as
City Solicitor, resigned that trust His
successor, Mr.. Lambert, is a lawyer OF
excellent ability and will doubtless dis
charge the duties of his new position
with general acceptability.
