READING REPUBLICAN RALLY.

EDrToRs NEws: Saturday night the
citizens both ladies and gentlemen gath
cred in vast numbers at the school house
70 hear the principles of the Republican
party enunciated. DIR. T. e. Biddle
presided. The Aihambra orchestra, of
Emporia, discoursed excellent music,
AFTER which Col. ]. w. FeighsD spoke
Tor an hour and half, holding the audi
ence spell-bound. He fully believes in
the principles of the Republican party,
and spoke of its work already done for
the good of our country aad lis citizens,
and its being alive to every new issue as
they force themselves upon US. He
spoke words Of praise for all our candi-
dates for the coming election and our
gu;y IS Republicans Ia be sure ana vote
for them. He said nothing against the
opposing candidates as men but the party
Is away behind the times and almost
useless. He referred to the fact of
our Unit, States bouds being worth only
IS 10 80 cents on the dollar IN the
administration of James Buchanan,
while to day our bonds and greenbacks
are worth dollar for dollar and We as
nation borrow money at 8 per cent. and
all brought about by the Republican
party. Next came Hon. l. Z. Lambert,
who spoke well and TO the point as did
w. s. Cook. Esq, who followed.
Judge Kellogg in his excellent re-
marks, spoke in favor of woman suffrage
and referring to the fact that women in
Kansas are equal with men in all
law and privileges except voting. 1t
seems all our candidates arc good men
and well fitted for the positions assigned
them at the convention. and now il is
our duty to rally at the polls and elect
them by majority that will tell. Let
every Republican vote and do his duty
for God and humanity.
The music and singing by the Alham-
bra orchestra was just suited to our ears,
and they helpsd much to enliven the
evening. AT the close of the meeting
one of our citizens offered The follow
ing:
Resolved, That we, the citizens of
Reading and vicinity assembled, tender
a vJte of thanks to our EmpOria friends
and statesmen for the able remarks of
the evening. and especially I" the AL
hambra orchestra for their excellent
music.
1t was UNANIMOUSLY adopted, and at
IL 80 the meeting adjourned.
AS there was no train for an hour or
more, Capt Stratton served refreshments
o. oysters, crackers, cheese, etc, at his
store, after which the Alhambra orches-
ira serenaded several of our citizens
with sweet strains of welcome music on
the midnight air, and then proceeded TO
the depot. NJ.

Musical.

The frequent appearance of the Knebe
pianos in our concert rooms is not at all
surprising TO those acquainted with the
history of the firm, or the character OF
the instrument itself. Not long since,
the writer, when in a neighboring city,
had occasion to play upon one of these
pianos. II had withstood the test OF
twenty Eve years. service. The greatest
pleasure was still to be derived from its
tone. It was so resonant and musical
that it seemed Sc if-like old wine-ii
must have improved with age. In NO
other way than this could We justly H.
lustrate its perfect state of preservation

tens to its ringing vibrations, il appears
as though the poetry of tone itself were
being revealed In q language far more
complimentary and just than any verbal
praise could possibly be.-Boston Home

A MuIs,s q Mule for A.rhs,.

Saturday morning borrowed Brother
Smiths buggy and mule and drove to
the Methodist church ON Allen creek.
Don't think now that l have Joined
Hewitt's brigade and am going to vote
for Click. Not I.
The mule 1 drove is an iron grey,
sports fine pair of ears and has a good
eye to mischief. He keeps his great
ears erect and watches his chances 10
run in at the open gates along the way.
Now and then he salutes, in a very EN-
phatic way, the passing teams. He is q
very social fellow and insists on calling
at every house along the road. He may
not believe in ghosts, but he scares at ev-
cry big rock and fence corner. drove
him to Allen creek and back TO Dunlap,
a distance of sixteen miles without a
mishap. l watched him at every step
and was ready for any emergency, but
was almOst disappointed In my expec-
tatlons of hairbreadth escapes. He
didn't kick the dashboard into
my face, and only tried to
runaway one time. He was not to
blame for that. A spirited mule will
never allow kansas zephyr" to drive
a tumble weed" by him. We were
driving along lane with the wind
when one of those pesky weeds at
tempted to go by US. Jack stretched
his ears and neck AZ an unusual length
and started off on q side trOt, as a mule
only can, but the weed came on and
our spirited mule straitened himself up
at last and laid out for regular race,
when the weed was soon left in the rear,
and Jack assumed his old jog. ad-
mire that mule because he kept the
road and refused to plunge into the
wire fence and stopped as soon as
he was tired of the race. But l was
so glad when got him back home and
fast in the stall and found myself safe
aud sound.
The farmers along Allen creek have
big crops, fat cattle, and are prosperous
