The Catholic fair at jays hall having
been grand success, We, the undersIgn
ed executive committee of the Catholic
church at EmpOria, wish to return our
thanks to all those who have taken an
interest in the same and helped to con.
tribute to its success. First of all, we
feel ourselves indebted to the people
of Emporia for their liberal patronage
and the pride they have shown in the
support of the fair and the local
candidate for the gold watch. Next
our heartfelt congratulations and sincere
thanks are extended to the boys of Cot.
tonwOod, who by their liberalily and
zeal in working for the prize contrib.
uted SO largely towards the net proceeds
We shall ever remember them. Last,
but not least, we wish To remember the
Franciscan Fathers, through whose adj.
mIrable management We have been able
to achieve such grand success. Al
though they have been but few months
in our midst, they have won the good
will of all in EmpOria and where their
duties call them. and We congratulate our
selves upon having been favored in such
manner by the RI Rev. Bishop, who
stationed them in our midst. Their
friends in the east have helped them
well, and we know that it is through
their efficient efforts that the fair re-
suited in a net gain of nearly 5000.
Once more, our sincere thanks To all,
and as soon as circumstances and the
weather will permit we will commence
the building of the convent, for the ben
eft of which the fair WAS held.

THE BOARD OF TRADE.
The Meeting 1 aas: sS.Ss ss,s sad an Organ

The Meeting Last Night and An OrganE-
nation Effected.
Two or three meetings have been held
in the city to consult and take steps to-
ward the organization of q Board of
Trade. We gave the proceedings and
temporary organization of the meeting
held last week. An adjourned meeting
was held on the 9Th at the office of the
Central Loan Company, at which there
was fair attendance of leading business
men. After consultation articles of as
sOciation were submitted by the com
mitlee, previously appointed for that
purpose, of which Capt. S. B. Warren
was chairman. They were adopted and
general committees appointed 10 perfect
the organization. A board OF six direc-
tors was selected, as follows: H. c.
Cross, DIR. j. A. Moore, w. T. SOdsn. L.
Severy, Major C. Hood and Jacob Stot-
.er The board will meet this afternoon,
10 adopt further measures for the per-
lection of the Organization.
Senator Plumb was present, and he
and others made valuable suggestions
II
indicating the work which might be
done by An efficient organization Of this
kind. There is no doubt whatever but
that the present is time in the history
of Emporis when much can be done by
enthusiastic and united work. We
know that several important enterprises
which might have been secured to our
city were lost because of a lack of prop
er effort to secure them by reason of the
absence Of organized effort. 1t is pro-
posed TO make the Board of Trade an ef.
neient agent in looking after the interests
OF Emporia. That such an organization
can aud will do great deal of good no
one can reasonably doubt. We there.
fore hope that every business man in the
city will join the association and lend a
helping hand in the work of this organ
izaiion. A strong pull and a pull all
together this year, will astonish all in
good results. We must have some i'm
portant manufacturing interests estab
llshed here before another winter. We
can have them here If we will work.

Death Of d. Z. Rice.

The people of this community were
very much shocked as well as deeply
panied to learn Saturday morning of the
death of d. r. Rice, who departed this
life at his residence on South CONNER
cial street that morning at 8 O'Clock in
the fiftv-sixth year Of his age. The NAL.
ady which carried him of was inflam
nation Of the bowels, and his ILL
ness was only Of weeks duration, the
first symptoms manifesting themselves
on New Years day. On the following
Thursday he was taken with a conges.
tive chill, which rendered him entirely
unconscious, from which condition he
never recovered.
The deceased was one of the most pop.
ular business men of our city, and his
excellent reputation as citizen in all
the relations which he sustained to the
community should be regarded by his
bereaved wife and sons as legacy bet
ter than gold.
The remains will be taken to Urbana,
Ohio, his old home, for burial, and the
Odd Fellows, of which order he was an
esteemed member, will take charge of
the preparations for the sad journey.
