The KpIEh.S TempIar Hand.

We stated in The NEWS of Thursday
that q movement was on foot TO reorganize
the Knights TeInplar band and that this
desirable scheme could be carried out if
the citizens would aid the undertaking
by contributing $500 a year to its sup
port. As the old organization had both
instruments and uniforms, some of our
people have expressed surprise that
such donation should be required and
desire tn know what Is wanted with the
money. We are authorized TO say in re-
ply that at least half dozen new men,
bers will be added to the band who will
require constant instruction for the
frat year, and this cannot be secured as
gratuity. II is proposed to pay
Mr.. Egan, the former director, $500 q
year for his services, which is certainly
cheap enough when we consider his
qualifications and the value of the time
which would be taken from other pur-
suits were he to accept this position.
The cost of suitable room would be
$125; furniture, $75; new music, $50;
fuel, lights and incidentals, $40, making
a total of 5000, the sum required at the
hands Of those who are interested in the
enterprise of furnishing EmpOria with a
band that will be q credit to her al home
as well as abroad. Mr.. Thad Davidson
has been commissioned to canvass the
city in this behalf, and we earnestly
hope that he will meet with the success
which We feel the project 80 well de-
serves.

The following railroad notes are taken

Long trains of cars loaded with cattle

of Texas fellows named Farris. One of

confined al the residence Of the sheriff,
as above. One morning three or
four OF the gang, most Of whom had LEFT

extra horse, and calling for the prisoner
had him out of the hands of the sheriff

below town, about where the court house
now stands, where they stopped en- their
horses and made defiant demonstrations
