grew faint from suppressed emotion.
"My dear aunt, are you sure you are
not preparing for yourself fresh dis
appointment" tenderly replied the
young man.
"But she must come some time. 1t
is not possible that they can always re-
fuse my summons" quickly responded
the invalid, her cheeks glowing with
the excitement her words called up.

agitation convulsed her worn frame.
Twenty minutes after Courtney Lenox
presented himself at the gates of Castle
Garden and obtained admittance to the
rotunda.
Crowds of immigrants from every
cline thronged the vast circular hall
till the busy commissioners found it diff
ficult to record tho names of the appli-
cants fast enough for the new corners.
Soon the bell announced fresh az
rival. and eagerly young Lenox sought
permission to penetrate to the landing
gates and watch for his long-exiled
cousin.
Impossible, SIR" said the official;
.'our orders are strict. We can't have
strangers inside the Enclosure"
Flushed with vexation and disappoint-
ment, Courtnay Lenox began steadily
to watch the figures fast filing into the
narrow entry.
Among those mingling in the outer
circle designed for immigrants already
registered and temporarily disposed of,
were New York housekeepers seeking a
'new GIRL" and long-settled foreigners
anxious to meet expected friends from
the fatherland.
But Courtney Lenox presented too
much the appearance of city ''swelP'
to gain entrance even here.
His patrician face and fashionable at
tire seemed to preclude the idea that
he could really claim as friend one OF
the tempest-tossed sons of Castle Gar
den.
At last all had passed through the
narrow avenues to the open floor, and
there was still no sign of the face he
sought.
Meanwhile lady of distinguished
but rather foreign appearance walked
lcisurely among the groups that were
awaiting further orders. Her object
was one scarcely defined to hersslf, bu1

A Sad Case.

The Free Press has received a poem
from young girl who is evidently
cropping through one of the blacklist
clouds of Opaque grief that ever rolled
athwart the horizon of youthful love.
The sheet upon which the poem is
written is covered with discolored spots
that experts in the Office declare to be
traces of grief-laden tears, but they
may be simply drops of juice which
flew out from an apple she was MUNICH
ing as she wrote. The poem opens:
The tale of woe fain would tell
Would crush all hearts with sorrow,
And call to mind the pangs Orwell,
Eternity's tomorrow.
The skill displayed by the presume
bly, fair writer in getting around the
pronunciation of a real bad word will
commend itself to every despiser of pro.
family in the land. The poem contains
about sixteen verses, which are, with
one or two exceptions, in a fair state of
preservation. The heart-piercing streak
of gilded grief runs through each verse,
and gives evidence that the writer had
it pretty bad. She may have been a
little bilious when the sad lines oozed
from her pen, and yet it is seldom that
an attack of the most acute biliousness
will cause such morbid grief. As the
reading of the lines progresses, how
ever, the cause of her terrible tussle
with sorrow becomes apparent, and in
the last stanza the whole truth stands
ont like bay-window. It runs in this
limpid shape:
No more will see John Mccoy,
He's left his loving Harriet;
He's wrecked my every earthly Joy,
He's false as j. Iscariot.
He's left me for another, who,
Her wiles exerted o er him,
And who ere long will shake him, too
All, cruel fate before him!
The poem has been carefully placed
on ice and will be forwarded to the
next worlds fair for exhibition.

Horrible Death,

Conductor c. G. Finn, in charge of an
extra freight on the Santa Fe, was run
over by the cars near Horton station on
Saturday night and mangled in a fear
full manner, death resulting from the
effects of his injuries in few hours.
He was seen by the train men TO start to
the top of 8 box car next TO the cabOoser
but was missed almost Immediately, and
search being made. he was found lying
beside the track q few hundred feet in
the rear of the train, with his arm and
leg horribly crushed, the suppOsition
being that he fell between the cars and
thus met his cruel fate. He spoke sut q
few words relative to his condition, and
then became UNCONSCIOUS. The injured
man was brought to EmpOris with all
possible dispatch and q telegram was
sent to Topeka to his wife who arrived
early Sunday morning just in time TO
see her husband breathe his last.
The deceased was about "a years OF
age and was highly esteemed among
the employees Of the road. He was a
member of the A. o. U. w. and. cOnse-
quently hsd an insurance on his life.
His remains were prepared for burial by
VIM. Clark, and were taken to Topeka
on the noon train Sunday, accOmpan.
led by his sOrrowing widow.

Never has a more intelligent or appre
ciative audience assembled at jays Ope-
IA house than on last Saturday night to
hear the readings of Mr.. Burbank.

one or two changes was the same as that
published in the NEWS of Friday.
Mr.. Burbank came fully up TO the ex-
pectations OF the audience in his humOr.

feel safe in saying that his equal as a
humorous elocuiionist has never ap.
peared before an EmpOria audience.
His representation of Lord Dundreary,
'the prince of FOOLS" was perhaps his
best effort, but the whistling in his rem
dition of "The Last Rose" which filled
the room with its sweet melody and died
away into whispering echoes, was equal.
ly well appreciated. The entire pro
gram was rendered in the most accepta
bic manner, and the satisfaction which
is everywhere expressed in connection
with the entertainment IL evidence of its
high merit.

resulting in the death of Mike Meagher,
former mayor of this city, and Geo.
Speer, a gambler. The particulars can
not be learned in the general excitement
that prevails, even at this late hour, but
it seems that last night and this morning
a party of cowboys, named respectively
Sherman alias Talbot, Jim Martin, Bob
Munsing and fellow named Lowe,
were drinking aud carousing. About 6
O'Clock a. N. they. began 10 show u dis
position to raise a row, and as a pre-

his revolver into the sidewalk on Main
street. Through the efforts of the pO-

as precaution an additional policeman.

O'Clock the party above named turned
loose and began TO shoot indiscrimi-

instantly. The citizens turned out at

We suppose it takes experience to
learn how to fix streets, crossings, etc.
This is supposed to be the reason why
the first side walks all over this town
were laid with thin pine boards, and it
is supposed TO explain, also. why street
crossings were sunk in the mud, in some
cases below the surface Of the ground.
But there Is just one thing that seems
inexplicable, and that is why such vii

Topeka Capital: During Christmas
week the State Teachers Association
holds its regular session at Topeka in
the state house. The arrangements are
more systematic and complete than ever
before. and as result the executive
committee have already upward of two
hundred names of those who are COM
ing. Superintendent Speer and Prof.
Stearns are doing all they can to ar
range for the teachers, but they
desire the cooperation of the
citizens TO complete the arrangements.
Hitherto few ladies have attended
on account of the expense, but this year
over fifty have signified their intention
to be present if the expense is moderate.
But the expense this year is more than
ever before hence the committee desire
our citizens to open their doors and pro-
vide for these lady teachers while here
during the three days of the session. All
who will take lady members of this as
sociation will please send their names
to Prof. George n. Slearn, chairman of
the executive Committee Boarding
houses and all who will take members
ct reduced rate will confer favor by
sending their names and the number
they can accommodate to the committee
at once.
