found most determined opposition.
The road would divide widows farm.

defiant. She knew that her haystacks

siumbers disturbed by the rattle of
trains, and she wouldn't listen to argu

committee said:

the construction of our road? He is a

Prof Proctor In the lecture he de

chief discoveries of astronomy with
special reference to their poetical signi-
fcance, showing that the poetry Of
science and especially of astronomy, is
not inconsistent with exact scientific
research while enhancing its value as u
means of mental and moral culture.
The other lecturers in this course are
gentlemen of rare literary culture and arc
too well known to the people of Emporia

The Topeka improvement society is
actively at work and numbers some of
the best citizens of the city. The first
thing necessary in Emporia is an anti

may be done in the way of tree planting.

No license has ever been granted to eth

any record of in the city clerks Of

in this city that he had purchased the
saloon, and as the law positively forbids
transferring license from one party &c
another, il seems Il little strange that
something has not been done by the
DrOper authorities

We want it distinctly understood that
we have no fight on the city council or
ON any gus company. That was not the
object of our article on Thursday.
1t is our privilege and duty to discuss
matters affecting the public. We now
reiterate that we believe the coun-
ell, whose first duty it should
be to protect the interests of the public,
has made serious mistake in granting
to the company the exclusive privilege
of putting in gas, for thirty years. No
blame can be attached to the gentle
men composing the gas company
for taking up with as good
q thing as that ordinance provides.
We want every man who has money
invested here TO make it pay, and we
have no objection to his making it pay
big, but we insist there is no call
for the wholesale privileges granted
by that ordinance. This is the judgment
of all we have conversed with who have
any knowledge of the subject The facts
will show, also, that what we said about
the hurried manner in which the ordi.
nance was pushed through, when there
was not the slightest occasion for hurry,
was true. One councilman was denied
few days time to get information, and
another knew nothing of the ordinance
till after it was passed. We affirm that
this Is not the way to proceed in such
important matters.

The Poor Ye Have Always with You.
The especial attention of the people
of Emporia-thOse who have plenty to
eat, drink and wear-thOse who have
comfortable homes and pleasant fire
sides-is directed to the needs of the
Christian Work Society of this city.
This is a society composed of many of
the leading women of Emporia, which
was organized several years ago, and has
relieved IN UGH suffering in our city in
the last two or three winters. The treas
ury of the society is now empty and
there arc pressing demands upon it for
help. The society proposes to give a
public entertainment in a few days as q
means of raising funds TO relieve the
more pressing cases of desiitu,iOn. The
management of the enter tainment is in
the hands of Mrs. Delap. 1t was the in
tention 10 have given the entertainment
in January, but further investigation of
the demands upon them has caused them
to give il at an earlier date.
One instance was discovered by this
society few days ago, of lady and
children who had lived through the en-
tire late cold weather without even a
stoye. The lady did her cooking on the
stove Of neighbor. The work society
had barely money enough to buy her q
cook stove, and so invested il, thus re-
lieving the intense suffering of this FAM
lily. There are other cases pressing up
on the society which are almost as bad.
The ladies have adopted the plan of
giving this entertainment, TO help the
poor, and have fixed upon Thursday
evening, December %, as the date.
Now, II is nothing more than plain
duty to the absolutely needy that there
should be liberal sale of tickets to the
entertainment The treasury Of the So
ciety should be put in a condition i'm
medIately which will enable it 10 do
the good and relieve the suffering in our
midst. II is our duty TO do this Let
Us give the ladies a rousing success in
their noble efforts to relieve those who
are unfortunate.

Dow Creek.


This stream rises near the north line
of Lyon county and runs almost directly
south, emptylng into Allen creek very
near IFS junction with the Neosho. There
are some good farms and fine orchards
along this creek. While the bottoms
are rich, the upland is not very fertile,
but 1t affords good pasturage for cattle,
and the most, if not all of it, can be
made productive 10y proper cultivation.
Hon. P. B. Maxson and a few others are
proving this. The short. timbered bends
in the creek afford fine shelter for stock
in winter, and the deep pools have an
abundance of water summer and winter.
Altogether, Dow creek is good place
for farmers and stock growers. err
DIED-At the residence of the parents,

Miller, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. o. F

friends of this young lady, who
was highly esteemed by her
associates in school, and all others wht
knew her. The heartfelt sympathies o.
the community will be extended to the
family in their deep affiiction. The fun
eral took place Saturday at 2 o'clock p
m. at the Christian church.
