Manufacturers

EDS. NEWS; We frequently see an
article in the papers, and occasionally
hear few words about the necessity of
manufactures in Emporia, but all that
has been said, as yet, does not amount
to anything. 1t seems TO be everybOdy's
business and nobody's business. do
not expect 10 give perfect solution of
the subject, but merely TO say enough to
awaken sufficient interest to have a
meeting of the business men of EmpoTia
and see whether there are not now
materials that can be put into manufac-
tured articles and give employment to
those that need work. It costs
a man but very little more to live when
he is employed than when he is not.
If could induce some one that is able
or awaken interest sufficient to get some
thing done besides talk it might amount
to important results. l would like TO
hear from some one that knows all about
it. l only want to know more and see
something done. 81.

ship are almost unanimously denounc.
ing most bitterly the unwarranted au.
thority assumed by a couple of the
members of the Republican Central
Committee. They say in their report
to the papers that we two of uS unani
mously adopt the persons whose names
are furnished by our chairman as dele
gates to the different conventions.
Such doings call to mind most wildly
the fond recollections of our school boy
days, rather than coming from leaders
of the great Republican party. Such
men should be invited to "step down
and out" at the very earliest opportuni-
ty. Such proceedings will sooner OF
later be disastrous TO the Republican
party of Lyon county. If honest Re.

the party, they will seek shelter beneath
another flag. A FARMER.

Ciose Quarters.

Last Monday at about Z O'Clock two
lramps who were stealing a ride west IN
freight car, came near getting killed
at the round house. They were in car
loaded with lum Der, and had sccreied
themselves at one end of the same.
While the car was being switched and
the engine backed up for coupling, it
received "A severe shock which threw the
lumber forcibly TO the end of the car
where it caught one OF the tramps and
nearly crushed him to death. He was
removed as soon as possible and it was
found that he had one hip dislOcated
besides other severe if not serious iniur-
| les.
Mayor Eastman was notified who sent
out medical aid, and gave orders for the
removal OF the patient to the poor farm

The central committee seem to be very
slow in responding TO the wishes of the
Republicans of Lyon county in the mat
ter of calling convention for the cleo
ton OF congressional delegates. They
certainly must know that their action
in appointing delegates TO the Emporia

satisfactory to the voters whom they
assumed to represent, and the question
Of a mass convention in response to
a call signed by such of the
committee as are known to be in favor
OF this method of choosing delegates,
and by other Republicans is freely dis

"WEDNESDAY, May Ia.
To-day at the usual hour for calisthen
les, Professor Davis stated that he had
something new in the way of exercises
to present, and desired all the gentlemen
to form in line and he would give the
necessary instructions in order to exc
cute the movements properly. All, OF
course, eager TO do and learn something
new in calisthenics, formed in line, and
waited patiently for the announcement.
But after the announcement, which was
to the effect that he wished them to
march out of the building and take the
shovels, picks. hoes and wheelbarrows,
which had been procured for them to
use, and place the parterre, which
was begun some time ago,
in respectable condition, the
countenances of many were greatly
changed, but with paid brows and trem-
bling frames they solemnly and slowly
wendell their way to where the instru-

charge Of the valuable property in which
he has made such a large investment.
He could moi have found man more
admirably adapted to give tone and char
