From nnnII CreeIZ

We had the pleasure of spending last
Sabbath in the vicinity of Duck creek
The adjacent country is one of the most
productive and cultivated in Lyon
county.
Adjacent TO the creek is found fine bot
tom land, while farther away, the prairie
is gently undulating, where may be
found almost countless herds of cattle
and horses. These form the principal
wealth of this section.
There are many good farms located on
the creek. among them, some of the old
est in the county. Among some of the
oldest and the best might be mentioned
the farm of Mr.. Oliver Phillips. This
farm was taken by him as q "claim" oveI
twenty years ago.
Adjacent to his farm is situated the
farms of his two sons, Messrs. Arthur
and William. Adjacent to these lies the
farm of Mr.. G. ]. Reynolds, whose CUES
we were while in the country. This is
nicely improved farm although Mr.
Reynolds has not lived on ii more thai
two years. Among some other farm
that might be mentioned as being unde
a high state of cultivation, are Mr.. Stew
art Reynolds. A. Hemenway's and E. J
Reynolds.
Situated near the creek and on Nj
Oliver Phillips farm is the school hous
known as the "Duck creek school house.
Here an interesting Ssbbath-school j
held, Mr.. John Orr, superintendent an
Miss Nettie Orr, Secretary. After Sal

Those who heard Rev. John Kirby on
last Sunday, at the NJ. Z. church, pro-
nounce his argument for the immortal
~ of the soul one of the brightest and
strongest they ever listened TO. The
reverend gentleman was in one of his
happiest moods, and carried his entire
congregation with him, indulging oc-
casionally in those flights of elOquence
for which he is ncted. There is always
food for thought in Mr.. Kirby's sermons,
whatever the subject under discussion
may be. He is s. strong and original
thinker, and presents his points with n
force and earnestness that cannot fail TO
enlist the interest and hold the attention
even of those who differ with him in
their religious views. He is thorough
student, and his discourses give evidence
of his constant pursuit of the best and
most progressive thought of the times
In the short space of a newspaper notice
IL would be impossible to give even q
satisfactory synopsis Of the convincing
arguments employed by this talented
divine in the calculation o.
the great question which hal
occupied the attention o
greatest minds that have shed theil
light upon a world Of sin and death
Suffice it to say that his arguments il
proof Of future life, based as they wer'
upon the tenable grounds of the reason
ing powers of man and his intuitiv
longing for life esernal, were unanswera
BILE, and when, in grand climax of log
ical eloquence, he laid hold of and he'll
forth the Bible as the grand testimony O
God himself. the effect upon the aud
ence was almost electrical.
Rev. Kirby is a preacher whose hig
order Of talent would grace any pulpit
and the people of Emporia are bu
awakening to realization Of his gres
lpower.

a Sad Story.

a Sad Story.
In the county Jail there is imprisoned
young girl, who tells the following
fall: Her home was in Illinois, and she
gives her name as Jennie Ingram. Some
time ago she came into the possession of
$3.50 in money, which she was persuaded
to give into the hands of an unprincipled
scOundrel, named Brock, a professed
lover of the unfortunate girl, who told
her he was going west to buy them q
home, and that when he became located
he would advise her and she should fol-
low him and they would be married
Brock came to Emporia, according to the
girls account, about four months ago,
and in few weeks he was followed by
the woman whom he had planned to ruin.
Upon her arrival in this city, Brock, as
she states the facts, induced her to go to
that sink OF iniquity which is tolerated
in the business portion of the town-the
Emporia House, where he seduced her,
and threw her upon her own resources
in strange city. She obtained work
as common domestic, and the con-
temptible william who had wrought her
disgrace, drew her wages as fast as she
earned them. She was working in
the family of Mr.. Adams, in this city,
when Brock visited her one day and de-
manded such money as she might have
in her possession. She told him she
hadn't cent, whereupon he finally in
duced her to steal the pocket book of
Mrs. Adams. which he rifled of its con-
tents, amounting to less than a dollar.
For this offence, as we are informed,
this poor, ignorant girl has been cast in
to jail, while the Infamous scoundrel
| who was really responsible for the aSt,
was permitted to go Scottfree upon the
condition that he would skip the town
Ii this IS not a travestY on common
justice and burning outrage on the
pretended morality and decency of this
community we would like to have one
tell us what it is. 1t is simply an insult
to every honest citizen of Emporia that
public houses of prostitution should be
permitted to exist in the very heart of
the city under the guIse of hotels, and
that innocent girls should be lured with
in their hellish walls and dragged down
L
afraid the perpetrators of such deep
dyed villainy. If the authorities are
powerless in this matter or the city of
ficials are disposed to wink at such a
Idisgraceful condition of affairs, we now
give timely notice That the press is not
dumb, and that THE News, at least,
proposes to carry on this war until there
is better regulation, by long ways, of
the morals of the city than exists at the
present time.
Our informant of the above facts is a
well-known lawyer of this city, who
talked with Jennie Ingram, and heard
her story from the girl herself. He says
she is poor, unsophisticate creature,
who is endowed with scarcely the aver.
age measure of intellect, and Is really
not accountable for the offense which
she was induced to commit out of the
love she bore to graceless scamp. An
effort will be made to have the council
at its meeting this evening remit her
fine, which we are sure they will do
when they learn all the facts connected
with her sad story.

An Eloquent Temperance AdvOcat


Hon. George Woodford, of Illinois,
and a candidate for Acknowledgment
on the temperance ticket of that state,
delivered two addresses in this city
Sunday on the subject of temperance,
which have excited widespread and
favorable comment. The first was on
the street at the postoffice block in the
afternoon, and the other was at the
Presbyterian church in the evening.
Both were listened to by very large as
semblages of our citizens, and the clear,
vigorous and Outlines elo-
quent style of Mr.. Wood
ford has made an impression in Empo-
ria that will not soon be forgotten. His
presentation of the subject is as new as
any discussion of this well-worn theme
can possibly be and the speaker brought
out mPny very telling points in his eff
forts in this city.

A CoRRECTIoN.-THE News was in
error, in stating in recent issue, that
Ed Moore had been released from Jail
on bond, where he had been lodged by
the authorities on suspicion of being q
party to the theft of Harry Veach's team
and wagon. The facts, as we now learn
them, are that the evidence was not suf-
ficent to sustain the charge, and that
Moore was released upon the motion of
