The wooden drain running from the
Hotel Coolidge to below the railroad
will be completed, and we are glad
to know that it bids fair to answer for
the time, at least, the purpose OF its con-
struction. The bad odor of which there
has been so much complaint in the vi.
cinity of. the drain has been greatly
abated, and when the sewer Is finished
and well covered with earth, it is hoped
there will be no further trouble ex-
perienced from that source by the peo-
pie living in the west part of the city.
The city council have been severely
censured by some of our citizens for open
ing up the drain after it was closed by
an order of that body some days ago,
but we believe they have acted the
motive of serving as nearly as possible,
the interests of all parties involved, and
aside from the fact that there has been
an unfortunate delay in carrying out the
plans agreed upon for the settlement OF
this troublesome question, We be-
lieve that the measures employed
were the best that could have been
adopted under the circumstances.
1t has been pretty clearly shown that
the health of the people living in the
vicinity of the drain has suffered from the
noxious vapors arising from it, and if the
present means of correcting this evil
prove Intellectual the council and the
board of health will be compelled to
take prompt measures for the suppress
sion of what has come to be regarded as
a dangerous nuisance.

laws for the company.
Mr.. Coverly, gas contractor from
Cincinnati, was present and submitted
propositions which will be taken under
adjustment. A correspondence is being
held with several other parties, and as
the capital stock has all been subscribed
il is not improbable that work viii be
commenced on the proposed improve
ment within q month or six weeks and
that the town will be illuminated by gas
before Christmas. This will be another
grand advertisement for Emporia and
will greatly increase its desirableness as

Thos. Smith, Wakefield's travelling
agent was in Agnes City making his an

reports that in the west, in some of the
counties that suffered last year by drouth
have fine wheat and corn this year,
and that he found in some of the
drougthy localities corn selling for IS
and so cents per bushel. With corn at
the above prices it does not look like the
settlers are liable to starve on 25 cent
corn, at least our exodusters will live
contented when they can get such fare.

average temperature for the month of July
on Bluff Creek was 951E degrees; high
est temperature, 1O4; lowest tempera-

il v i'll he remembered. thai Mr.. w. w
White, fnther-in-Iaw Of oar fellow towns
man. w. II. SuPI.e. had died Mt Odessa.
Mo. under SD and suspicious circum-
stances. A letter written the family
by W. r. White. brother of Mrs
Suppc, living in New Frankfort, Mo-,
which Mr.. w. II. Suppe has shown US,
gives the following version of the facts
attending Mr.. Whites taking off:
Itappears that the old gentleman arrived
in Kansas City on his way home from
Colorado on the 4th inst. He laid there
sick and helpless until the next evening,
when the mayor of the city bought him
ticket to Slater, his home, with his
(White's) money. White was seen at the
Union Depot in great distress by several
people, and he was very anxious to get
on the train. At train time he was help
ed aboard the right train by the police
of Kansas City, and instructions given
the porter Of the train TO
look our for him and see that he
arrived all right at Slater. At Independ
ence the old gentleman wanted tO leave
the train, as he said he would die and
wanted to die easily. He was prevented
by the train men, however. At Odessa,
town about II miles southeast of Lex
| ington, ON the G. s. A. railroad, he es-
capped the vigilance of the porter and
got off the train, and Immediately laid
down by the side of the track. He
was, some time after. found by the
marshal of the town, who
took him Cor q drunken man and in
humanity beat him and dragged him to
the calabOose. The only words he said
were, "For Coos sake don't kill me- %
spoken when the marshal first made
| his attack on him. At the calabOose the
mayor visited him and fined him $3.50
and as the sick man was unable to gel
at his pocket book, being indeed in only
q semi-conscious state from his sickness
and his beating, he was declared in de
fault of fine and sentenced to Jail, where
he remained over night. The next day he
was discovered to be dying, and. at 4
O'Clock on that evening he passed away
without having spoken another word
He was buried on Sunday morning. Or
Monday he was taken up and post
mortem examination held, from which II
was decided that death resulted from hi:
treatment and confinement in the. hot
calaboose while sick. The members Of
his family feel very much grieved Ovel
the sad circumstances of his demise, and
legal action against the city of Odessa fol-
the action of the marshal and mayor il
contemplated.
