DRowsED WHILE BATHING.


the Cottonwood River.
On last Saturday evening at about 8
o'clock, John Nicholas. accompanied
by I. ii. Hughes, and David and Rich
ard Jones, sons of David Jones of this
city, went TO the Cottonwood river TO
battle, going in at the head OF the bayou,
short distance below the water works.
On the way 10 the river Mr.. Hughes
eounseled Nicholas and the two lads 70
be very careful as he (Hughes) was not
much OF q swimmer. and that if any of
them got into trouble he could not aid
them. Upon reaching the river Nicho-
las went into the water first and had
swan around for some little time, when
he suddenly exclaimed: "Cnme here,
quick!''
The rest of the party thought he was
joking and did not realize the situation
of the unfortunate man until he went
down the second time Hughes then
promptly SWAN To the shore and en-
deavored 10 get board or something by
which he might save the drowning man,
but as he could Ind nothing he dis
patched the boys to the water works to
summon aid, bHt before any one could
reach the place Nicholas had gone down
for the last time
Word was Immediately sent to the
city by telephone of the accident, and
the banks of the river were soon lined
with people who promptly instituted
search for the body, which was contin-
ued until 8 O'Clock the next morning,
when the deceased was found floating
on the surface OF the water about fifty
feet below where he went down. His |
left arm was crooked and drawn up
close to his body Indicating that
he had been seized with cramps,
and blond exuded from his, mouth and |
nose.
Uppn the discovery of the body Coro-
ner Davidson summoned "a jury com

raE Lawn FESTIVAL
The Public Indebted to the Methodist
Ladies' for a Delightful
Fufarfasnvaenf

Entertainments.
We take great pleasure in noting the
splendid success Of the lawn festival
given by the ladies of the NJ. e. church
at Fremont park Tuesday evening. The
grounds presented a most charming ap-
pearance, being illuminated by reflectors
and Chinese lanterns hung in the trees,
and the bright moonlight, the rare
beauty of the evening and the su-
perb music furnished by the Z. T.
band all conspired to render the
occasion one of the most enjoyable
ever known in Emporia. The attend
ance was very large, and from o'clock
until IL the park was thronged with
promenaders drawn thither by the music
and other promised attractions.
The tables, which were spread under
the trees, were filled again and again,
and the attentive walters were kept busy
until late hour serving ice-cream,
cake, berries and lemonade. The band
was, rs usual, surrounded by throng of
delighted auditors. and their brilliant
selections were applauded in the most
enthusiastic manner
The festival, We believe, was under the
special management of the ladies of the
III. E. church living in the second ward,
and we are glad to learn that the finan-
cial results of their enterprise are such
as 10 repay them in a measure for the
labor involved in preparing for this
truly delightful occasion.

William Atkinson's new house in the
west part of town is nearly ready for the
roof. We suppose that when the build.
ing is completed friend William will
look around for "better half" as the

than one. j. We were shown some very
fine wheat raised on the farm of J. C. F.
Wright, and are told that it will yield
some twenty-fiv bushels to the acre.
Miss Amanda Boorey has been secured

SELVES in securing the glucose works
which Messrs. Bentley and Steele. of

providing they meet with II sufficient
measure of encouragement al the hands
of our people. We are informed by a
gentleman interested in The undertaking
that the prospect is quite encouraging
for obtaining a sufficient amount of
money by subscription 10 pur-
chase the ground required for
the construction of the works
and To pay the bonus demanded by the
company, There win probably be no
trouble about securing the necessary
water privilege, and we trust that mat
tiers will SO work together that these
valuable works may be located at Empo-
ria
The factory would employ between
seventy-fiye and one hundred hands, and
sue b an industry would doubtless prove
the nucleus of other manufactures and
thus advance, as nothing else could, the
material interests of the
town, The works would al
ways stimulate d-mand for corn
and thus benefit the Country around
EmpOria AS we'll as the city. We trust
our citizens will give the proposition
of Mr. Bentley due consideration and
manifest willingness to offer all
reasonable inducements 10 secure an
industry which we feel would be such a
good thing for the town.
