Thn Lnmhar Oueation

EDITORS News: In the Kansas Sen
tinel of Wednesday, the 9th, find an
item stating that it is a notorious fact
that lumber is altogether too high in
this city. The parties complaining have
evidently not figured lately with the
Chicago Lumber company or they
would know that their figures are as low
as can be obtained at any point, freight
added and any contractor who figures
with the G. L. Co. and who meets his obi
cations promptly, knows this. Lumber
and all kinds OF building material are
sold on closer margins in this city than
at any point in Kansas. Persons desir-
ing to build are invited to procure fig
ures from any quarter which I will
cheerfully duplicate, adding freight from
point of consignment, and if the editor
of the Sentinel wants a bill at these
prices l will furnish him one.
Parties buying of the Chicago Lum-
Der company, at wholesale prices with
| freight added, can save the commission
which all wholesale houses charge to
those not dealers and which they pay the
G. L. Co. on all cars shipped in here by
| non-dealers.
| l wish to take this opportunity of
thanking the people of Emporia for the
liberal patronage bestowed on the con-
Germ that l represent, during the past
four years and for the uniform kindness
and hearty encouragement extended by
business men and all others during that
time, for support that has aided me in
making the lumber business in this city
the largest in the west, for it may not be
generally known that our stock of lum
Der at this point, is the largest and best
in Kansas.
Enterprising EmpOria can point with
just pride TO better facilities for business
men and more complete and low priced
stock of all kinds of merchandise, than
any city west of the Missouri river in
this state, and 1t seems to me that even
the smallest newspaper IN the city
should take pleasure in stating the facts
as they exist.
Emporia is the only city in Kansas
that can point to wholesale lumber
business such as is the Chicago lumber
company at this place, supplying the
bulk of the lumber used for hundred
miles south and fifty miles east and west
which business directly or indirectly
centers and is transacted through EN-
poria.
Large amounts of supplies of all kinds
are needed for the transaction of the
lumber business at many towns tribu'
tary to Emporia and 1 could save great
many dollars annually if should adopt
the suggestion Of the Kansas Sentinel
and buy abroad those thing that are need
ed for our business, but have prefer
red to help our own institutions and bus
mess and shall continue to do so. l ap-
prehend that the item referred to is a
nsedful reminder that 1 have not been
using as much printers ink lately as 1
should, SO I enclose you herewith a
standing advertisement which please
place in your daily until further notice.
Yours truly,

Alfred j. Knight,


The noted elocutionist and historical
impersonator, favored Emporia with one
of his admirable entertainments at Ban
croft hall Thursday eve. By reason of
the comparatively brief notice of his
appearance, the audience was only aver
age as to size, but was sufficiently ap-
preciative to make up for its numerical
delinquencies. The program embraced
scope that afforded ample opportunity
for the display of Mr.. Knights versatile
attachments, and included selections from
Scott, Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Bob
Burdette, and others. His historical
costume representations were particular
ly fine, and gave evidence of a degree of
pains-taking and study not often met
with outside of the circle of the great
dramatic artists. The grand English text
of Shakespeare is forever Il thing of
joy and beauty, but it is invested
with a double charm in the hands of
such a master of his art as Mr.. knight.
The humorous selections, among
which were "Mr Burdock's Goat,''
Buck Fanshaw's Funeral" "How
Sockery Set Hen" and "The Brakeman
at Church." were all most admirably
rendered, and elected decided evidences
of appreciation.
The misunderstanding in relation to
Mr. Knights engagement in this
city is to be much regretted and it was
due to this fact alone that the success
which attended his former visit to EN-
poria was not duplicated this time

KEEPING ICE WITH0UT IgE.HoTIsEs

Ice has passed from the list of the
luXurieS TO that ofthe necessities of farm
life. Whoever lives where ice is formed
and so near to body of water that the
hauling will not be too costly, should
have an ice-house. Ice keeps best in
large masses, and III building it Will be
found that house to hold enough for
two years will cost but little more than
one for single years stock. Occasion
ally, as last winter, the ice crop fails
over the greater part OF the country. 4

who has supply OF ice left over In
Dee, 1879, p. SOB, Il plan is given for
building an ice-house in 4 corner of u
roomy barn; the hints there given will
enable one to convert any spare out
building into an ice-housc. In March,
1879, we showed how temporary ice
house could be made and how ice may
be kept without house. II one has AN
abundance of ice, bui no ice-l0use, and
has straw Ia plenty, il mag he worth

hardly be expected to last all Summer
The ice-stack is especially useful when
the Ice-house is not large enough 10 hold

An Ice-stack to be drawn upon during
the early part of summer, will allow the

a shady place, all the better; select Il
spot where the water will drain off. and
lay down n tier of rails foot or so
apart; on these put q layer of brush,
and upon the brush, straw to the thick
ness of foot. If possible set strong
pole in the center. Now stack up the ice
| as in an ice-house, taking care that the
mass does not incline to one side. The
covering for the sides may be straw, salt
hay, swale hay, or even leaves, but the

boards. 4 foot in thickness of protect

be better; old boards, with braces to
press them against the straw, etc, may
be used if needed; the stack is to be
finished by roof of straw, put on with

abundant, the mass of ice may be cover
