Mr.. w. G. Fithian. the "old reliable"
ice man of this city, has just finished
filling the fourth room of his mammoth
house with the finest ice ever put up in
Kansas. The last room was filed With

furnished the citizens of this place with
ice for the last ten years, and has always

on his success this winter and hope he
may reap rich reward.

The beautiful new residence of Mr..
and Mrs. c. 8. Cross on Union street, was
thrown open Thursday evening to large
party of friends all of whom seemed TO
feel special pride in the privilege of
sharing in the happy dedication of such
a delightful home to the purposes of
social entertainment. The glow of cheer
full hospitality which frightened the
commodious hall, presented most CRATE
full contrast TO the frigidity of
the outer world, and the air of comfort
and elegance which pervaded it, afford
ed an index to the character of the other
handsome and luxurious apartments.
Not less agreeable and assuring was the
sincere eordIality with which the guests
were received as they descended from
the toilet rooms and entered the pariors,
which proved adequate to the comfort
able accommodation of all who respond
ed TO the kind invitations of the host and
hostess. After general and pleasant in
terchange of the compliments of the
evening, the excellent orchestra, made up
OF a numbe Of our best local musicians,
filled the rooms with strains that pos
sessed peculiar charm for all lovers of
dancing, and succession of quadrilles
interrupted only by an admirable recita-
ton and some renditioas in vo-
cal music which were received
with unanimous favor, held the floor
till the announcement of supper, which
was served in commodious
upper room, and embraced the
best efforts of the culinary art.
After a protraeted session at the beautiful
and well-tilled tables, the guests, each
bearing away some exquisite little souv-
enir, in the Shape of a decorated horse
shoe OF fan, in wood, and tiny boquet
OF flowers, repaired to the parlors below,
where preparations were Immediately
inauguratcd for dancing the german,
series of graceful evolutions to the
description of which our pencil
is entirely inadequate, but which,
under the skillfni direction of Mrs
Cross, proved grand success, and will
doubtless date the beginning of new
era In the social diversions of Emporia
It was not until a very late hour that the
party broke up, and the guests departed
10 their several homes cherishing recoI-
lectionS of q most delightful evening.

The Average Convention.

PowELLs STATION, October 81, 1881.
Mr.. EDITOR AS conducted, our political
conventions defeat the will of the people as
often as they promote it. Stated periods
come around for the election of officers. A
call is made for convention at certain
time in the future, and the wire-puIlers "a
set of men, by the way, worth less, far less,
to our country than the rock gang from the
work-house) commence their manipulations
In the first place, they want the convention
to be composed of men who will
work to their plans. To do this they secure
as many as they can by honorable or dis
honorable means to attend who will do thei-
bidding The chairman is the first thing of
great importance to them. A perfect chair
man in the eyes of such men is one who
rules all persons out of order except dyed
in-the-wool wire puller. When the time
comes the ''boss", who has the whole
thing cut and dried, bounces up and nomi-
mates Squire, Capt. or General somebody,
(the title is very important in making nomi-
natons) for chairman. Commonly SQUAD
Die ensues that would disgrace dog fight
1t the nominee is successful SO much gained
| In defeating the honest will of tho people.
LILO couulttee Oh Cr6QonClatS is the next
| thing to be secured in dishonest conven-
| ton. The chairman already secured, a list
of the names of pe1pns who will rule out
| all opposition where contesting delegations
occur, &C., is handed him, and he appoints
| them in due form, of course.
While this committee is out performing
the solemn duty of passing judgment on
| the liberties of their fellow-citizens some
sky-scraping orator is introduced, Gle is
generally all right. Certainly y who dis.
courses hugely on the glory Of Republican
inititutions and the great blessings secured
| to the "dear peopleah."
These things don't occur literally in every
case, but in some modified form they are
the rule rather than the exception. Dishon.
| esty is the idea.
No one viii deny that political conven.
tons fairly conducted are great necessity,
| and conduce to the strength of a party ;
otherwise they are disgrace to anything
that has any degree of responsibility about it.
Demagogues will run conventions to suit
themselves until outnumbered and driven to
the wall by honest men Tho good citizens
of the country, who value their liberties as
men should, should come to the front and
cast out thiS political devil into outer dark
ness. 1. ssJAasg r, FL.

Another Youthful Train RObbel

From tho Cincinnati Saturday Night.
It was night.
Night in Arkansas.
It was night in several other States
as well, but Arkansas is the one
which we have to deal at this writing.
1t being our turn to deal.
A lightning express was booming
along at the rate of sixty miles an
hour. Every car was full, many
standing in the aisles with that
meekness and patience only seen on
an American railroad, to accom-
modate the fellow who wants four
seats all to himself.
The lamps blazed ftfully over the
passengers busters, which seemed to
fit fully as we'll as travelling busters
usually do.
The conductor had passed through
(Which was more than he would al
low any one else to do without the
requisite pass), punching people into
wakefulness in. order that he might
punch their tickets.
The train boy had filled the pas
sengers' laps with books, to keep
them from bouncing in their seats
while going over rough places.
The brakeman had put his head in
and shouted, "The next stopping
rlace is -" the name of the sta
tion being lost in the slamming OF
the door.
The boy who is always dry had
made his fifty-second pilgrimage to
the water tank z
And the woman who wants air had
just torn off her last remaining finger
nail in trying to get her window up.
This was on railroad in the State
Of Arkansas.
Suddenly the Car door opens.
A youthful figure appears, holding
something in his hand upon which
the light glitters. He presents it in
significant manner and cries:
"Now, gentlemen, your money
Fifty men turn pale and cry,
"Don't shoot
Twenty females scream with one
voice, and some faint.
There is a hasty thrusting of
watches and pocket books beneath
cushions and into boots.
Strong men fight for place un>
der the seats where they can secrete
themselves.
Gentlemen" again cries the boy
ish voice, ringing high and clear
above the screams of women and
din of the train Clasps for mercy
from some of the men), ''let me sell
you some of this excellent tropical
fruit, and he extends in his dexter
hand-a banana.
1t was the train boy, pursuing his
useful and harmless vocation.
