Have the citizens of Emporia no re
dress against the abominable sidewalk
on which they are obliged to peril the
safety Of their limbs every time they pass
over them. The walk on the east side
of commercial street, leading to the Nor
NAL, is simply exereable, and must be
traversed by considerable number of
citizens every Sunday night, on their
way TO and from the churches in the
northern part of the city. II is a burn
| ing outrage that after all that has been
said in this connection, nothing has been
done to correct this vile nuisance. There
is resolution on file passed by the city
council months ago, providing for the
improvement of the city walks, and the
people want 10 know why it is not done.
In case of the city's being mulct for
damages, which will inevitably be the
case, the party or parties who
are responsible for this culpable negli-
gence should be made to pay the
penalty and not the people, who have
entered their unanimous protest against
the prccarous attitude in which the city
is held in this matter The News has
been accused Of making specially of
ding" the sidewalks of Emporia.
The author of the observation doubtless
has fondness for strong language, but
we submit the question to him IN all
fairness whether, were we so inclined
we could find an object more worthy of
anathelna, than the rIckety apologies |
for pavements which disgrace our city 2 |
A number of exodusters have died |
since their arrival in Emporia, and un-
less some measures are taken by the pro-
per authorities in the direction of com.
pulsory sanitary regulations in their den
sley crowded abodes in this city. the hot |
weather of the approaching summer will
inevitably develop diseases of malig-
nant and epidempic form. The large
houses on the south side of
Sixth avenue are literally packed with
negro refugees, whose careless
methods of living are evidenced

IN passing. This condition of affairs,
coupled with the inferior and INSULT
sient food upon which these poor peo-
pie are largely obliged to subsist is
bound to produce sickness, and it is
with view TO averting this calamity
hat we ask the timely attention of
he city authorities To this MATTER.
In conversation on with one of the
men yesterday whose former home was
n Texas, he said that under the condi-
ions of equal social and political privil-
eges nothing would have induced him to
cave his native state, the climate of
which he vastly preferred and with the
culture of whose products he was famil-
ar. He said that the people here had
been very kind, and many supplies in
he way of clothing and provisions had
;ome IN from various quarters, thus {

hey were unable 10 get work A con-
inuance of these charities would be t

which will put the exOdites on selfsus-
aiming level, and convert them from f

WHO'S ARE THEY ?-Mr. b. +. Pack,
residing on the Asbury place, east of the
city, in looking over piece of ground
Monday belonging to Dr. Moore, and
joining the A. T. & s. F. road, found,
wrapped up in pocket handkerchief, a
number of hymn books, bibles and tesla

books were marked with the name, l..

the bibles was the name of Susan

The diseolored appearance of the books
indicate that they had lain for some time
exposed to the weather and had been
subjected To the influences of light
prairie fire which had swept the field.
