on last Sunday, after brief Illness from
pneumonia, at the age OF So years.
The deceased came to Kansas from
Ohio, and for a number of years
was engaged in business in

the prominent citizens of the town. He
was a man whose correct department
and blameless life won for him the con-
fidence and esteem of all who knew him
and endeared him to q very large
circle of friends, both in EmpOria and
his later home. He was an exemplary
member of the N. E. church, and earn
estly strove to adorn his character with
those christian attributes which shont
forth in the life of the Master whose
cause he espoused at comparatively
early age.
His remains were brought to Empori'
on Monday accompanied by large par
ty of friends and were laid beside thos'
of his first wife, in Maplewood cemeter,
west of the city. The services wer
conducted by Rev. MIR. Hancht
of Cottonwood Falls, the pastor VIII

hours. The departed leaves wife an
several children who have the sympi
thies of their numerous friends in thi
sad time of trial and bereavement.

The lecture of this distinguished gen
tleman at Bancroft hall last Sunday, on
the constitutional amendment, was heard
by nearly one thousand people, and was
the most practical and telling effort in
this direction we have ever listened to in
Emporia. Ignoring all superfuous
verbiage, the speaker goes directly to the
bottom of the important question whose
discussion is so ably undertaken by him,
and establishes by the most convincing
proofs the feasibility of the reformatory
measure of which he is such Jealous
advocate. We have Il hearty admiration
for the earnestness and independence OF
Governor ST. John in his espousal of the
temperance cause, and feel that person
who is so heartily in sympathy with the
moral and social reforms of the day is q
good man to occupy the executive chair
of young and growing state like Kan
sas
The governor was most cordially re
ceived in Emporia, and the streets in thu
vicinity of Bancroft hall were literally
lined with people who were unable Il
gain admission to the hall.
