Hotel Opening .

We took a look last week through
the old Fifth avenue hotel, which was
again opened to the public Thursday by
Mr.. j. 4. Weiland, who recently came
to Emporla from Canton, Ohio. 1t was
difficult to recognize the old house, SC
thoroughly has it been metamorphosed
by the paint brush and paper hanger
Everything about the place from kitch
en- tc parlor is as clean and bright as il
can be made, and there is not single
article in the house in the way
of furniture that is not entirely
new. The office has been refloored
the walls have been covered with a neat
pattern of paper, and the apartment is
as neat and cosy as any one could wish
for. The same process of renovation
has made the dining room a place to
stimulate the appetite and the well furn.
ished tables indicate that this part OF
the house will be carefully looked after
The fare will be quite reasonable, and
if Mr.. Weiland continues as he starts
out, his house cannot fail to be well
patroniZed.

About Corn and Wheat

EDITORS NEWS: A hasty trip through
the Fowler settlement a few days ago
confirmed the undersigned In the opin-
ion that the Fowler brothers know how
to raise corn and wheat. Their own
corn fields are now as clean as q new
pin. They planted their corn early, got
q good stand, and in consequence the
corn is growing finely. Last year while
most peoples corn and wheat fell short
these men had eighteen bushels ofwheat
and fifty or sixty bushels of corn per
acre. Consequently these farmers have
all the corn they need and more, and
plenty of money in their pockets, while
many poor farmers have to buy corn
for their own use.
l also noticed what,I have often oh
served before, that where the ground
was plowed for wheat early, say in June
the wheat is about twice as large as
where the blowing was done just before
seeding time.
The writer of this item is decidedly
of the opinion that when the proper
conditions are complied with, there will
be no trouble in raising from twenty t.
thirty bushels of wheat per year, on al
acreage.
The two main points to be observes
are early plowing-in June and onl'
once-and carly sowing, say during tn
first week in September. Never late
than the 18th of September.

Quite large party Of Rural street resi-.
dents, embracing Mrs. VIM. Clark, Mrs.
Prof. Carmichael, Mrs Frank Kenyon
and Mrs. Stromberg,w with other members
oftheir families, visited the Cottonwood
near Thompson's ford Thursday, with
hook and line, intent on a day of sport
and enjoyment. The ladies of the party
are averse to talking of the occasion,
and so far we have heard of but one
twO-inch catfish as the result of the ex-
petition. But they all got a thorough
drenching during the rain storm, and il
is intimAted by one of the husbands of
the party that the rain was attributable
to so many ladies going fishing at once,
and he even has the effrontery to sug.
gest that in case of drouth the ladies
of Rural street-but for further de-
tails inquire of Pete Stromberg.

In the city astride very fair and we'll

once offered for sale, expressing desire

finding ready purchaser, he became so
anxious to make sale that he offered
the horse, saddle and bride, worth 800,
for the extremely low figure of $3.50.
This excited a suspicion that all might
not be right, and the:gentlemen at Mr..
Davis stables near Commercial street
and Fourth avenue, where he was stop
ping, were reluctant in accepting his
offer. Later in the evening Marshal
Bell received a postal carl from the
marshal at Chetopa, giving description
of horse recently stolen in that section
of the country, and requesting if any an
imal answering that description should
turn up in Emporia, that he would ar
rest and hold the assumed owner. Act.

company with Sheriff Ryan had little
trouble in sporting" the horse and Sc

The Normal Lyceum.

For few moments Friday evening the
News reporter had the pleasure of hear.
ing the exercises of the Normal Lyceum
in their room in the State building.
After the Introductory exercises were
through and the new president had been
installed, several members of the society
grappled with the momentous question
of capital punishment, and we were
pleased to note the interest taken in the
discussion by those present, but it would
be much more beneficial to the partici.
pants in these debates did they give
more time to preparation, and cultivate
a graceful presence and easy flow OF
language. Horace Greeley once said to
a correspondent to the Tribune al

few words as possible" These words
have a moral that all writers and speak.
ers could profit by, and especially be.

An Agreeable SURPRISE.

Miss. NJ. J. Watson was most pleas
antly surprised last week at her home
on Mechanics street, by visit from a
number of her pupils, who gathered
there in pursuance of a pre-arranged
plan to attest their high regard for their
excellent teacher. After Miss Watson
had greeted her unexpected guests and
assured them of hearty welcome, Miss
Edith Miller, on behalf of the party,
stepped forward and presented to the
hostess beautiful oil painting and a
handsome paper knife, stating in well
chosen language that they were bul
small tokens OF the profound esteem in
which the donors held their faithful in
structor. Miss Watson, though somewhat
discomposed by such an unlocked for
tribute, responded with brief but cordial
expression of thanks, after which for
maNties a most delightful evening was
spent in social converse.
Miss Watson, we believe, was the very
first teacher Emporia ever had, and her
connection with the public schools OF
the city has extended over a period oil
more than twenty years. She is a most
thorough and capable instructor, and
the compliment bestowed upon her last
evening was simply fitting recogni.
ton OF the efficient services of one who
has done so much to further the noble
work of popular education in Emporia
