Citizens mass meeting at the court
House was called to order by DIR. Nc
Candless. p B. Maxson being secretary
of the committee, no secretary was elect
ed, and Mr.. Maxson not being present, no
record of the meeting was kept except
by the chairman.
The chairman stated the object of the
meeting to be the consideration of the
suit brought against the old board of
county commissioners to-recover money
lost in the sale of the A. I. & S. F. rail
road stock belonging to the county, and
to determine what action should be tax
en- TO further prosecute the case. The
meeting was SHINY attended.
The chairman presented petition in
the form of a resolution to the conven-
ton, for its consideration, which asks
that the present board of commissioners
aid the citizens committee in every way
possible in the further prosecution of the
case, which was adopted by the conven-
ton and ordered TO be circulated for
signers.
Mr.. Maxson coming in, rendered his
resignation as a member of the commit
tee, which was accepted, and VIM. Nc
Creary, of Fremont township, elected in
his place.
w. T. Soden being present called the
attention of the convention TO the pres
ent condition and value of the ~, X. S
T.. r. r. stock, and asked that the con-
vention take action in favor of an cleo
ton by the people authorizing the coun.
~ commissioners to sell said stock. AT
ter considerable discussion upon the
matter, for and against, the meeting ad
journed without taking any action upon
Mr.. Soden's suggestions.

The knights TempIar.

The fifth anniversary, annual reunion,
ball and banquet of Emporia Com
mandery No. 8 Knights Templar
was. held last Tuesday evening
The Knights displayed their usual
hospitality, and with arrangements
made, provided one of the finest parties
of the season. The Emporia band,
named after this worthy order, discours-
ed some of its best music, delighting the
ears of those present and fostering the
pride the citizens have in their own
band. At nine o'clock the Knights en-
tered in full uniform for dress parade.
After a short review and sword exercise,
they took their ladies who. with them,
Joined in the grand march. Then fol
lowed the regular ball programme, par
ticipated in by the hosts and guests
alike. The floor was carpeted with can
vass and the excellent music furnished
gether with the good prompting of j
W. Marden, made this part of the pro
gramme thoroughly enjoyable. An ele-
CANT spread and repast had been pro
vidcd ut the lodge in Ruggles & Plumb's
building and the Knights and theil
friends banqueted themselves to thcii
hearts content between half>past ten
o'clock and twelve.
Among the visitors from abroad We
note Miss Gertrude Bullene and Mss
Kate Smeed, of Lawrence; Miss ElIi'
Bond, of Americas; Mr.. Joe Hankla, o
Topeka, Mr. C. II. Pratt, of Humboldt
and Mr.. John Holmes and wife, of Col
orado.
The party was not as largely attende'
as the Knights reunions usually are, bu
there were about fifty couples present
and everything was particularly pleasan
and enjoyable.

EMPoRIA, Feb. Is, 1880.
The horticultural society met pursu-
ant to adjournment, Robert Milliken in
the char. After reading the minutes,
Mr.. Milliken introduced and read his
Wayside Notes. The programme chos-
en- for this meeting was taken up. Mr..
Milliken being the committee chosen
presented the subject of ornamental and
shade trees for street planting, and only
three or four varieties were considered
sufficiently hardy enough to stand the
knocks and bruises they become
heir to along the sidewalks, to say moth.
ing of their being grown for cow prov
ender.
wish here to add few remarks and
say that 1t does appear to me tc
be shame that as nice {
city as Emporia, to be compelled tc
stand out in the hot sun without being
protected and ornamented with the bean
tiful varieties of the pine and native
shade trees, and all on the account, l an
told, of the city beng partially used fol
a COW pasture. Enough on that subjecr
for the present.
After some discussion on the leading
varieties of street trees, other subjects Of
general interest being presented, wer,
| discussed with much interest.
Entries for premiums being in order
Mr. C. d. Burdick presented two vari
cites of potatoes, and was awarded frs
premium on each class.

last Sabbath and preached in the Con-
gregational church there We clip the
following notice of his sermon from the
Daily Journal of Tuesday:
REV. RICHARD coRDLEY.
On Sunday morning DIR. Richard
Cordley delivered a sermon of rare beau
ty and power, in the Congregational
church, from the text, al came not to de-
stroy but tG fulfill" 1t was one of the
doctors rich-nugget sermons, twenty
three minutes in length, such as the
Plymouth church in Lawrence Toasted
ON for eighteen years, and became the
leading church in Kansas. No analysis
can do the sermon justice, Us it was
packed with terse, epigrammatic sen
fences that sparkled from beginning to
end. The divine plan in nature and
revelation was shown to be an unfold
ing, conserving all the good Of the past
while il ever advanced into higher and
better conditions In geology the period:
flow on with occasional commissions, but
no distractions; in history nations come
and 90, but civilization grows brighter
the dispensations pass away, but chris
tianity ever extends in influence and
power. Revelation is suited to all age.
and conditions of men. and new truth:
will continue 10 break forth from ths
word of God as a perpetual fountain
The star of Bethlehem that guided
where the young child lay will be tho
bright morning star when the light o
eternity breaks on the world.
