The refusal of the city council to va
cate the alley which separates the lots of
Col. Plumb on State street, and which
has been enclosed for twenty years, will
result in the loss to the city of very
handsome residence which it was the
purpose of the senator to build in the
event the city fathers allowed his
petition. 1t is probable that he will
now build without the corporation north
of the city limits.

of DR. S. c. Delap. homeopathic, will
regret to learn that he has concluded 10
change mis- location, and left us this
morning by the NJ, X. & 7. train for In
dependence, Kansas. Extra inducements
were offered him in the way of an estab-
lished practice at Independence. Moth
ing but first-class prospect would have
taken the doctor from Emporia, because
he was doing much better here in his
practice than he had anticipated lac
would do when he opened his Office
We can say to the people of Independ
cnce that they will find that DIR. DelaT
and his wife are real acquisition tC
their town in every respect. They long
taught in the Normal, and always
took hearty and active interest in ev
erything that pertained to the interest,"
of society. Mrs. Delap, especially, hai
contributed largely to every good work
of time and talent, being one of thu
finest elocutionists in the state. W.
hope they will meet with that success il
their new home which their merits de
serve. Mrs. d. will not go to Independ
