A Point of Order at Issue Between TIN
Mayor and ID. Fox

A Point of Order at Issue Between the
Mayor and ID. Fox.
A perusal of the report of the proceed
ings of the city council of a meeting held
by that body Friday evening, will give the
prominent facts in n case which has eX-
cited more local interest than anything
which has occurred in Emporia for many
days. The evening had been set apart
for the consideration of petitions to sell
liquor, and. as we have been creditably
informed, Mr.. Fox reported at the coun-
Gil chambers before any of the members
were present, except Mr.. Taylor to whom
he communicated the fact that
he was going to the depot on business
for short time, and asked that nothing
be done which would reflect upon the
council till he came back. Upon re-
turning he found that the rule for read
ing the minutes had been suspended and
that seven licenses had been granted
during his absence by the votes recorded
in the proceedings, and the council were
just in the act of passing on the eighth
petition, which was defeated by his neg
alive vote. Mr. Fox then asked
that, as an act of courtesy to himself he
be allowed to record his vote ON those
petitions already granted, but was re-
fused the privilege and the council ad-
journed under the conditions mentioned
in the regular report
Mr.. Fox, feeling that the mayor and
license members had done him a sore
injustice, Immediately proceeded to in
stitute an INDUCTION suit against
the mayor and city clerk, restraining
them from issuing licenses to sell liq-
uOr, and by the authority of Judge Pey-
ton, the orders were issued to these par
ties at 8 O'Clock this morning, and thus
the matter stands. Inasmuch as il Is
likely to come up for hearing in the
court at an early day, we have simply
given the facts as we have learned
them and for the present. leave
the public TO judge of the propriety oi
the policy adopted by the mayor and
his license supporters.

Eureka Echoes.

EDITORS NEWS: Our people have
calculated 10 go TO Emporia on the 9th.
They were led TO this conclusion by see
ing the announcement that both Keno
and Grant were To be present on that
day. Keno alone without Grant would
have been sufficient, but an opportunity
of seeing at one time the two extremes
of men, cannot be resisted by our people.
Our good people on yesterday were
greatly excited. One of the strangest
epidemics struck the male portion of
our inhabitants, with but three eXcep-
tiOns, viz, Day, Dyke and Clark, editors
of the Graphic. Even our worthy
mayor did not escape, but to-day all
seem to be convalesceut. Bob our
worthy express agent, attends to the
duties of his office Just about as well as
he did before his marriage Lew
Wassam, foreman Graphic office, had
the misfortune, while concerned with
Il runaway team, TO get one of
the bones of his ankle broken, but he
seems to endure it with spartan forti-
tude. . Allow me to say to you, and
your good people, that our county
is entitled to name the state senator from
our district, and while our county has
many that are fully qualified for the
place, yet there are none more deserving
nor possessed of more or greater qualili-
cations that Col. RiZer, editor of the
Herald. | do not know that he aspires
TO that office, nor even that he would &C
cept were he nominated, but, neverthe-
less, he is our choice and l think he would
be acceptable to the people of Lyon.
In one respect, if not in others, the
Colonel resembles Garfield; he believes
in the Office seeking the man." which
by the way, is no mean qualification.

pers of the day. But it is here all the
same. We have n fine young city con-
sisting of the post office, depot, water
tank and two dwelling houses. We
have Il good location for Il town, and
only lack some one with money, brains
and pluck to lay out and advertise 1t
well to build up thriving village of
four or five hundred inhabitants As
we are ten miles from amy competing
point and have a fine farming country
around and pretty well settled up and
down the creek (Eagle), besides Il num-
Der of new farms being opened up on
the prairies. .. Mr.. John Bonnowety,
one Of our new settlers met with quite Il
loss on Friday last. He had his stable
burned with two mules, four nogs, one
set of double harness, some feed, etc.
Himself and wife had gone To one of the
neighbors, about half mile away, and
left their little children ut home alone,
who procured some matches, and, after
trying some time to set the house on
fire, went 10 the stable and succeeded in
starting a blaze in some hay which did
the business. School closed Friday, and
J. w. Shore, our genial teacher, has tax
en- the light of his smiling countenance
away from us TO his home on the Kaw
reserve. But we do not despair of see
ing him again, as there is certain at
traction here that we think will draw
him this way. . There is talk of build
ing a new school house here. We hope
they may, rs one is needed very much,
the one we have being altogether too
small to accommodate the children.
The corn crop Looks well and is grow
ing finely, but the chinchbugs are play
ing havoc with it wherever there is
small grain near. Harvest is over, and
most OF the grain in stack. Wheat was
a light crop, going from five TO fifteen
bushels per acre We are needing rain
very badly, but have been more favored
than many localities not far away.

We regret To lean that the South
western marble works have moved their
machinery for saving stone TO Stafford,
ten miles west of Emporia, not having
met with the encouragement in seeking
a location in the city, which they had
reason to hope for. They rather pre-
ferred remaining here, and would even
yet return if matters should turn out
MS they might be made to by the exer-
else of a little effort on the part of our
leading business men. The works will
employ quite a number of men, and we
hope they may yet be located in En-
poria, the headquarters of the company.
