A Romantic story.

Ioring, the Boston bookseller, tells
avery romantic story as follows
sat one time ] had prepared boxes
Ioffancy paper with a fancy initial
or pet name embossed init, and put
thisup at one dollar d box, and nd.
vertised il widely. One day / had
an order from California, from a Miss
Susie The boz was done upi
addressed to her and lay about here,
when d young Englishman came in
and wanted towrite aletter gave
him the material'anda place, when
his eye caught the address on this
box.
Have You the order that came for
that box Of paper21 he asked,
Eyes lreplied, s'tis about some:
where. =
eaaioailSpl6
my hotelg Tit Is What ] thine,
shall leave fH Galifofpia to-trightr
81 found il and sentit around and
heard no more about it for perhaps
three months when one day the
young man, with lady on his arm,
walked in. 'Mr. I4oring,y ! want to
preson. you to my wife," he said.
ave could notleave this country un-
til We had thanked you for your part
in bringing us together The do.
nouement was quito a romance.
The young man was the son Of All
aristocratic family and the girl the
daughter Of the gardner. But love
levels all distinctions, and the young
man felt this girl to be the chosen
companion Of his life. 10 break off
the attachment his father had sent
him to the continent and dispatched
the gardener and his pretty daughter
to America, where the young man
had followed them, ignorant Of their
address, and at last finding it through
the chance Of a box Of paper"

We attended the Wichita fair Tuesday
and Wednesday Of last week. In nOpar-
ticulPr, Except in the interest add
ed by the attendance of a couple of hun
bred militiamen) was the exhibition as
good Us that held in this
county the week before. The
corn averaged about the same as
that on exhibition here. AS Sedgwlck
is too new for apples, there were none on
exhibition, and little fruit of any kind.
Potatoes were good, several varities aver
aging IN size and condition about like
those shown at our fair by Mr.. Hitler
man. The entire display of vegetables
and cereals at this fair did not exceed, in
extent the individual displays made a:
our fair by either Mr.. Dole or Mr.. Hol-
lingsworth. The poultry display was
good. Kansas Is d great country for
chickens. The exhibit of horses and
cattle was very meager. The prizes IN
the speed ring were only about half as
large rs those offered here, and there
was no good trotting up to the time we
left. Gamblers had free access, and in
this respect the fair was about the same
~ that held here one year ago.
The encampment of the second rcgi
ment of K. s. NJ. added good deal to the
interest ofthe fair. 1t was something new
again 10 see soldiers and officers In uni
forms, drilling, and living in tents. Ou1
Emporia Rifles ranked among the bes
in drill and all soldierly qualities.
and Wednesday was about the same a
on the same days at our fair.

TIRED OF LIFE.
Felix Baird Commits Suicide by TaIIn
MOrphIn.

Felix Baird Commits Suicide by Taking
MOrphIa.
Monday evening, the 18th of
September, Mr.. Felix Baird, a har-
ness maker, who has been recently en-
plOyed by Mr.. Osborne, of this city, died
ut the business place of p. j. Heilman,
fects of dose of mOrphia taken by the
unfortunate man with view to ending
his unhappy life.
The deceased came To EmpOria about
the first of June from Burlington, where
he had been employed for something
over year He was known to- have be-
tween $500 and $500 when he arrived in
EmpOria, the greater part of which was
taken from him one night at a public
house which we may have occasion to
mention hereafter, at which he stayed
and where he was induced to drink to
intoxication by some parties who are
| supposed to have robbed him. He
worked for Mr.. II. V. Bundrem for u
while, and afterward for Mr.. Osborne,
who was his last employer. He Is de-
scribed by these gentlemen as having
been Il very superior workman, a man of
more than average intelligence, though
unfortunately addicted to periodical at
tacks of melancholy which were always
attended by seasons of indulgence in
| opium and strong drink.
The day preceding his mournful end,
he collected his papers, destroyed them,
paid up some little debts among his fell
low workmen, and put his house in or
der for the commission of the rash act
which terminated his life. Yesterday
morning at about 0 o'clock he went 10
the shop of Mr.. Heilman where he en-
gagged in conversation with the men
about the shop, and finally dropped over
and fell into n sleep from which no eff,
forts could wake him. When his condi-
ton was discovered, medical aid was
summoned, but nothing could be done
for him, and he breathed his last about
8 80 o'clock. He had told several par.
ties that it was his intention to kill him.
sell, as he was weary of life, and desired
to rid himself of burden that had be.
come intolerable.
The deceased was for many years in
the employee of J. B. Sickles, a promin-
ent harness man of st. Louis, and Mayor
Gilmore last evening telegraphed to him
to learn, if he could, the whereabouts Of
Baird's relatives, who are said to live in
Cass county, Missouri. His body was
properly cared for, and if no answer tc
the mayors dispatch is received the re
mains will be buried this evening in the
city cemetery.
Baird was a man of quite genteel ap
pearahce, pleasant in his manners, and
as one who knew him well, said to III
to-day, "a gentleman, drunk or sober
Latterly, in addition to his passion iol
drink, he had become addicted to th'
opium habit, and this SO shattered ana
wrecked the man that he felt that tn,
only escape from wretched life was il
the grave.

Speech by 1. K. Lambert OF EmPOrIs-
SATURDAY, Sept 10
EDIToRs News: The meeting of the
Garfield and Arthur club at the court
house last night was splendid success.
The Garfield and Arthur Guards were
out in full force with torch lights. They
met Mr. Lambert at the depot and escort
ed him to the court house where he de-
livered an earnest and eloquent address
to one of the most enthusiastic audiences
ever gathered IN Eureka. The court
room was crowded, and worry respect
able portion of the audience consisted of
ladies. The speaker disposed of the
Greenback party very peremptorily
by stating in very fOrclbly
manner that the party never would figure
much in national politics, tor the reason
that they had no principles that were
right, and consequently never could be
generally supported by the people.
He then traced the record of the two
great political parties of the country
showed that the Democratic party had
written dark page in our country's
history. and the Republican party &
bright one, and appealed 10 the people tC
stand by the party that saved the govern.

Would that every man in the state could
