About the Wooden Mill.

| Mr.. McNeer, the gentleman who
wishes to establish wooden mill in this
city, has signified his Willingness TO
come to Emporia on bonus of 1000,
none of which is to he paid until the ma.
chinery is in running order, and he has
made deposit of 5000 as running
capital in one of the city banks.
Under the very fair conditions of
the compact between McNeer and the
subscribers to his paper, there should
certainly he no trouble in raising the
specified amount and We hope to be able
To note within ii few days that the efforts
OF those who are labOring IN this behalf
have been satisfactorily rewarded Mr..
AlcNccr does not ask the con-
tidence of The people without ample
recommendation of his ability to merit
1t and as he proposes 10 satisfy all doubts
before demanding a fulfllment of the
contract on the part of the citizens, we
see no reason for holding back on an en-
terprise which can be secured by such
comparatively small outlay, and which
promises such generous returns to the
town. As it is high time that Mr. Nc
Necr were putting himself in shape To
secure a portion of the native wool clip,
we hope our citizens will come to his
assistance promptly and lose no time in
making sure of this valuable industry.
1t is the purpose of the proprietor TO
engage largely in the manufacture of
stocking yarn, which is in demand by
the mountain miners all the year round,
and can be made Il source of handsome
profit. Emporia must have something
IN the way of manufacturing interests if
she expects TO continue to grow, and we
know OF no better opportunity OF max
ing Il start in that direction.

MUTILATED CoIN.-We are informed
by banker of this city that the nuisance
of mutilatcd silver among our circula-
ting coin is becoming of such mIgni-
tude that the banks have found il nee
essary to refuse to take it ut its face,
and hereafter, if they receive it al
all, will only take il at its value
and send il to the mint to he melted up.
There are persons who make a regular
business of boring holes in coins 10 obtain
the metal which they pilfer by that pro
cess, and when they find that bankers
and merchants refuse them, they fill the
