1t is reported that Florida has closed a
contract for draining Lake Okeechobee,
under which name is included small
lake and very large swamp that between
them occupy great space to no possible
purpose. The ground to be thus re-
claimed comprises more acres than
Connecticut and Massachusetts com
bined, and is rich enough, it is said, to
produce all the sugar the United States
can use; but whatever its prospects
may be, the prominent fact is that the
state is to pay for the work, instead of
begging the national government to
make this and other desirable improve

The saloons of Emporia closed their
doors this morning in pursuance of the
decision of the supreme court, to the eff.
feet that the amendment has been legal
" adopted and is part of the constitu-
ton of the state of Kansas and that the
penalties OF the dram shop act arc in
force IN all cases where sales are made
OF Intoxicating liquors for use as bev-
erage. This does away with the liquor
traffic in this and all other cities of the
state in its legalized form which is GER
tainly grand triumph for the advocates
Of temperance and the friends of prohi.
bition. II now remains to be seen
with what success the ingenuity Of the
adversary may be employed in evading
the amendment, and the restrictions con-
templaied by the new law supplement
tary thereto. That there will be in
fringemenis upon their provisions is to
be anticipated, but the mere fact that
the trafae has been branded as illegal,
has placed the temperance element on
vantage ground, the importance of
which It Is difficult to estimate. How.
ever, as no Law can be made thoroughly
effective unless it is backed by y strong
public sentiment, the enemies ofrum will
recognize the necessity offs continued
agitation Of this great moral issue,
TO the end that there may be no remlss-
ness in the enforcement of legislation
which is amply sufficient to meet all
phases of the problem.
We apprehend that Emporia will feel
no serious inconvenience by virtue OF
the suspension Of her gin-mills and that
no legimale interest either of q bust.
ness, socialQE moral nature will be pre-.
judicially effected thereby.

Neosho Rapids is situated twelve
miles east of Emporia, in the rich valley
of the Neosho, and on the grand trunk
line of the Kansas City and EmpOria

newspaper published here; three hun
dred subscribers assured the first pop.
Who will be the lucky editor: Twenty

after spring opens. Mr.. A. J. Rich
mond, of Usage City, was in town last
week visiting with his brother, o. S
Richmond. He talks some of locating
here. Mr.. Lane who moved here late
last fall from Huchison, Kansas,
lost fine horse last Sabbath
evening. We can sympathiZe with
him as we have lost horses
ourselves John P. Tolford showed US q
powder horn that is one hundred and IF
teen years old 1t was made and neatly
carved by his great great grand father,
Joshua TOlford, in if66. 1t certainly
ought to have been sent to the centenni-

seem to be very scarce, though we pre-
diet that that there is more in this town

industrious wagon maker would do well.

A Grand Success

The ball of the Emporia Rifles, at
jays hall Monday, was grand success
in every respect. The hall was beautI-
fully decorated with flags, pictures,
evergreens, etc. On the stage was a
miniature camp scene, with guns stacked
and tents pitched, in front of which was
the inevitable camp kettle and various
other utensils arranged in true camp
style. Two large flags were draped
over the front or the stage falling away
in graceful folds at each side.
A battle scene fianked the stage on eth
err side, while picture of "the Father
of his country" without which ball in
honor Of his birthday would have been
incomplete) was decorated with flags
and hung on the south wall of the room.
Numerous other pictures were pleasantly
arranged about the place, and many were
heard to remark that they had never
seen the hall so tastefully decorated as
on this occasion.
The Rifles entered the hall in full
dress uniform, at half past and gave
an exhibition drill of twenty-five min
utes, duration, showing that they have
attained a degree of perfection in the
manual of arms and company evolu-
lions which entities them TO great credit,
when We consider the time these men
are able to devote to military tactics.
Dancing commenced at about O'Clock
and continued till half past 2, with the
exception of half hours intermission
at II, when the company adjourned to
room on the second floor where good
coffee and delicious oysters were served
to those wishing them.
A very interesting feature of the enter
tainment was the election of "Dangh-
ter of the Regiment" at ten cents a vote.
The principal candidates for this honor
were Miss Jennie Puffer and Miss Annie
Mitchell. Il was announced that the
time for voting would expire ct O'Clock
and it became quite spirited toward the
close. Miss Pufer's friends seemed TO
have the most money to put up and she
was therefore elected by small ma
iority.
Captain Page took her upon the stage
and introduced her as the daughter of
the regiment, and proposed three cheers
which were given with a will. Miss
Puffer is very pretty and accomplished
young lady, and the regiment will no
doubt be proud of her. The Rifles made
about $4,000 out of this part of their
venture, and will come out considerably
ahead in the whole entertainment They
are happy because they have had good
time, and everybody else seemed to have
good time with them. Everything
passed off quietly and orderly, and it is
the general verdict that for large ball
it was, as we said at first, grand sue
