Death OF J. A. Maynard.

1t is with deep sense of regret that
we are called upon to chronicle the
death of j. A. Maynard. who departed
this life Thursday evening at halfpast
O'Clock, at the corner of Fourth avenue
and Sylvan street. A few days ago the
deceased came from Colorado where he
had been experimenting the works OF
the Consolidated Whale Gold and Silver
mining company. While engaged in
his duties al the mine he contracted 8
severe cold, and when he arrived home
was so seriously i'll as to be delirious, in
which condition he remained until re.
lieved by death. He came from Colo
RADIO with his family four years ago
and settled in this city. The mining com
pany of which he was superintendent
was an organization largely composed OF
citizens of this city, and they and all
who knew Mr.. Maynard were attached
to HIM on account of his many good
qualities. He was aged about SO years,
and leaves a wife, son and daughter,
the latter of whom is an efficient and e.
teemed teacher in our city schools. The
family will receive the sympathies of all
their friends in this sudden and sad dis.
pensation Of providence.

We were surprised by the sad intelli
gence received yesterday morning of the
death, at her home, of Miss BERTHE Spen
Ger, of Doniphan, this state. She left
home for the holidays, and nothing was
heard from her until her mother com
municated the sorrowfnl news to Presi
dent WEIGH. The following was adopted
by the school:
WHEREAS, It has pleased God in Hi:
infinite wisdom to remove from ouI
midst Berthe Spencer, in whom we found
thoughtful, obedient pupil and kind
faithful classmate; therefore, be it
ResOlUed, That we, her teachers and
school mates, feeling deeply our loss
unite in extending our heartfelt sympa
thies TO the bereaVed family and friends
':We hear the dip of the golden oar,
We catch glimpse Of the snowy sail;
And loi they have Ipassed from our yearing
heart
They have crossed the stream and gone fOu
aye"

Eureka Echoes.

FRIDAY, Jan. 20.
We were very agreesbly surprised this
morning by the appearance of the morn
ing News, having had no notification
of the change in the time of publication.
We congratulate its publishers. Tie
Kansas City and Topeka papers are
very irregular and if the NEWS will Wis
il us punctually every morning it win
have decided advantage over its COM
petitors. : Eureka has no cases of
smallpox hut almost every one carries
his left arm in sling. Tuesday the
proposition TO vote $1,000 city bonds in
aid of the st Louis and Wichita railroad
carried by vote of 100 TO 81. There
seems no reason 10 doubt that this road
viii soon be completed 10 Eureka, and
that this year win be the most prosper
Gus in all its history. Last night the
three weeks union meeting closed by
very solemn service in the Methodist
church. The pastors Of the different
churches arranged for services during
the week of prayer, the first week in
January. The first meeting of the
series was held Sunday evening January
LIST, in the NJ. E. church. 1t was intended
that the meetings should be held at the
different churches alternately. but on
Monday evening the Presbyterian church
was so crowded that it was de-
cided that all the remaining SER
vices should be held in the Methodist
church, the largest church in the city,
and for three weeks this has been crowd
ed nightly. 1t was not expected to con-
tinue more than one week but the inter-
est manifested compelled the continu-
ance. The pastors of the different church
es led the meetings on alternate even
ings and there was little to distinguish
them from the ordinary services of the
week of prayer except the pungency and
power of the talks and prayers. While
no effort was made to number the con.
verts yet it is known that they can be
counted by the score. Marvellous har-
mony prevailed among the ministers
| and churches in the work, especially
! when we consider the different views
and methods represented. The meetings
will no doubt be great benefit to the
churches and give new impetus to all
christian work. GREEK.

The New East Lynne, which preserves
the general plan of the version drama
tized from Mrs. Woods novel of that
name, was presented TO quite hand
some audience At jays opera house last
Wednesday. Katherine Rogers assuming
the role of Fernando De La Tour and
Clara Dalton. corresponding to the
parts of Lady Isabella and
Madam Vine in the original play.
From the very moment Of the ap.
pearance OF this talented lady before
the foot-lighis, she took captive her au-
dience by her engaging presence. the
prerequisites of the accomplished artist
standing confessed IN tho elegance OF
her meln, the rare quality OF her sweet
and flexible voice, and the charm that
invests her attractive and expressive
face. A play which is founded upon the
story of a woman's weakness and her
wrongs is not devoid of opportunities
for the display of all those emotions
and passions which can harrow the
soul of the prescribed wife and
mother, yearninG for the joys of for
feited home, and separated from the
idols OF her heart by gulf wider and
deeper than death; and the intensity o.
the mental torment endured by Fernando
| De La Tour after her return 10 the roo
from which she had been borne in ar
evil moment by the destroyer of hel
peace, as portrayed by Miss Rogers, be
came, at times, so frighifully real tina
that the audience forgot the actress and
saw only the wreiched woman who LIVED
because @deaih passed her by and sui
eide was q crime.
1t would require more space than WI
are able TO devote to it 10 criticIse the
persOnation in detail, but it is enough Il
say that the exacting role Throughout
was sustained with a fidelity to nature
which marks Miss Rogers as lady o
superb histronic attainments and tn
verdict of many who saw her is that
more accomplished artist never appeared
before an EmpOria audience.
The support was very good. the per
sonations of Herbert James as DIR. Os
borne; E. D. Taunehill, as DIR. Belin
and Matte Ferguson, as Jane, the daugh
ter Of Fernando, being especially com
mendable. Miss Rogers will be eve
pleasantly remembered by our peopl
and should she ever favor EmpOria witt
another visit, she will be accorded
most enthusiastic reception.

The Proposed Hospital OF the franciscan
SfSfera

S1StSTs.
Joseph Heidrick has drafted plan of
the proposed hospital which the Fran
ciscan Sisters expect to erect on Ex-
change street between First and Second
avenues in the spring. The front eleva-
ton was photographed by L. S. Page to-
day. and represents a substantial and
symmetrical structure of three stories,
the dimensions of which are 5Ox30 feet,
this being simply the main building, the
purpose being to make additions in the
way Of wigns in the future. While the
hospital will be constructed by the
Franciscan sisters. its doors will be open
to the afflicted of every class, irrespec.
tive of color, sect or social position. Its
estimated cost is $1,000, which will
be raised by subscription, two sis
tiers being daily expected to arrive from
Lafayette, Indiana TO begin the work OF
soliciting funds. We learn this diocese
has appropriated 81, 200 to sid the enter
prise, and that the Santa Fe company
will lend the undertaking substantial en-

and We feel safe in saying that they will
not withhold their hands in the mattel
of so benevolent project. AS the hos
pital will be open 10 patients from ali
parts Of Kansas, thorough canvass fol
subscriptions will be made of the state
by the sisters, and it is hoped and be
lieyed that a sufficient amount of money
can be raised to push the project TO 6
successful consummaiiOn next summer
A regular board Of physicians, includ
ing seven of our local medical prac

who may find their way into the hospit

manner. A portion of the material il
