THE RIVALS.
A ROMANCE or ILfitACOMiiE.
Concluded from last week. J

Concluded from last week.
u will introduce you ut once, Mr..
Mayield, to the lady you are to take
down to dinner and Gerald was led
across the room. Mrs. Gossett-Mr.
MayGeld, she said, and then turned
away to repeat the ceremony elsewhere.
Gerald bowed in silence. The shock
and the surprise took away all power
of speech or of collected thought.
There was no occasion for an in
troduction, Mr.. Mayfeld,' Maud said,
gently holding out her hand. We
arc old acquaintance, though you did
treat us shabbily by running away
without saying goodbye
Gerald touched the hand extended to
him, murmured something in reply to
the question, and then fell back a few
steps until it should be time to offer
his arm.
'Hc looks ill., Maud said to herself.
1T is very awkward, and he is evident
ly ashamed of himself. Poor fellow, ]
expect he is very unhappy. What
mistakes we all make"
Maud had been married but four
months, but she spoke rs if she was
conscious that she, too, had made a
mistake. In the few minutes which
elapsed before dinner was announced,
Gerald had recovered from the shock
that the meeting had given him, and
was enabled, as he took her down, to
follow the lead she had given him, and
to talk to her as to an Indifferent ac-
quaintance. The party was a large
one, and the conversation was not,
therefore, general. They chattered to-
gether upon Indifferent subjects-the
opera, the last new book the Parlia-
mentary struggle, the Derby which
was to be run on the morrow. Not a
word was said of Ilfracombe.
Mr.. Gossett is not here, Gerald
said, looking around the table.
No; he promised to come, but he
is so busy at the bank that he could
not get away; and as Mrs. Paterson
is cousin of mine was able to come
alone
When dinner was nearly over Maud
said:
you are not looking well, Mr.. May
field
j have not been quite well, Mrs.
Gossett, for some time. Overwork, l
suppose. I am going abroad to Aus
tralia, next week, probably for some
years.
Maud looked up at him.

is Mrs. Mayfeld here? OF course
she goes with you?'
Mrs. Mayfeld! DO you think |

She did not notice the Christian
name.
Are you not?'
Married! 1 married! Who can

for full minute Maud did not an

plate, and the color had all died out of
her face.

co,nofor, tho Omcers

Chase County Leader: The fact that
Yves. Walker, one of the cOiored men
who shot George Babb, Is still at large,
is not only very humiliating to the peo-
pie, but speaks bad for the sheriff's quail
ificatIons as a detective. With free
transportation over the railroad, the use
of the mail and telegraph to be had at
no great cost, it does seem that the sher-
if should be able TO capture the friend
less and penniless fugitive from justice.
We do not wish to believe that the mig
ger is too sharp for the sheriff, but that
appears to be the heft of it. The three
now in custody were captured while the
sheriff was absent and it is barely posi-
BILE that if he had remained away lit
tie longer the fourth might be in custo-
dy too. A reward of twenty-five dollars
for the arrest of a man charged with
stealing horse in the north part of the
state, sent our sheriff flying all over the
country, south and west, but a murderer
of citizen of Chase county at large
does not appear to set the detective abil-
tiles of sheriff at work.

Attribute Well bestowed.

For some time past IL deep feeling Of
regret has been expressed among the
scholars about Mrs. Morse resigning
her position in the high school. In
fact, they would not believe they were
going to lose her until MIR. KlOck made
public statement to thai effect THUR
day when a meeting was called in the
high school room. Subscription pa
pers were quickly circulated and in a
short time $50 was raised. A committee
was then appointed who adjourned to
one OF the book stores and purchased a
set of 1rving's complete works consist
of twelve volumes.
Upon their return the scholars were
again called to order and Mrs. Morse
being called into the room. an appro.
pirate address of presentation was de.
livered by Eta Kirkendall, which gave
Mrs. Morse time to recover from her
surprise, when she offered her thanks in
a few well chosen remarks, showing
feelings that could not be expressed in
words. After the presentation was over
social was announced, and after q
pleasant hour the scholars gave their
farewells and departed.

The Missouri Pacific company are
about to put on two fast trains TO ST.
Louis. one leaving Kansas City at 9 Il.
m, and the other at 0 p. m, and the
change will take place as soon as the
line is completed through TO Omaha.
These trains will be in addition to the
regular St. Louis trains and will be
known AS the fast Omaha express. But
few stops will be made between Kansas
City and St. Louis, so it can be seen
that the running time will be very tast.
If the Alton road also goes into the fast
train business, it will make radical
change in railway matters.

SmaII-Pnx Remedy

Mr.. Geo w. Manning hands us the
following for publication, which is time
ly in view of the existence of a case OF
smallpox in Emporia:
A correspondent of the Stockton,
California Herald writes as follows: 81
herewith append a recipe which has
been used To my knowledge in hundreds
of cases. 1t will prevent or cure the
small pox, though the pittings are filling.
When Jenner discovered cOw-pOx In
England, the world of science hurled an
avalanche of fame upol his head; but
when the most scientif1: school of med
icine in the world-that of Paris-pub-
lished this recipe as a panacea for
smallpox, it passed unheeded. 1t is as
unfailing as fate, and conquers every
instance. 1t is harmless when taken by
a we'll person. 1t will also cure scarlet
fever. Here is the recipe as l have
used it, and cured my children OF scar
let fever; here ii is as have used it to
cure smallpox; when learned physicians
said the patient must die, it cured: Sui.

with table-spoonfuls of water; when
thoroughly mixed add 4 OZs. of water
take spoonful every hour. Either dis
ease will disappear in IL hours. For

clans to use this there would be no need
of pest houses. Ii you value advice

The friends of education in this city
will deeply regret the retirement from
active service of Mrs. A. p. Morse, who
for many years has had charge of the
Emporia high school. For over ten
years this lady has been actively and
prominently identified with the noble
work of public instruction in Emporia
and Lyon county, having served with
much acceptability as member of the
board of county examiners, as well as
having taught in the Normal and public
schools of the city. She brought to her
work the highest qualifications of
q successful teacher, having enjoyed the
advantages of a finished education !;
being a thorough disciplinarian, and
possessing a degree of culture which
exercised a most salutary influence in
molding the manners and morals of her
pupils.
She will take up her home southeast
of the city, where the rest which she
has so faithfully earned will be enjoyed
amid comforts which have been secured
by dint of her untiring energy and fidel-
ity to duty. The earnest wish of her pu-
pills and many friends in Emporia is that
her coming years may be filled with joy
and peace and bring to her all those
blessings which should attend a we'll
ordered life.

Large Sale Of city Property.

VIM. Adds, who recently came to
Emporia from Grand Rapids, Michigan,
and who, some weeks ago, bought the
Central livery stable for $500, became
the proprietor las. Thursday of three
valuable pieces OF business property,
having purchased of Atyeo 81 Herman,
through the real estate agency of II. +.

mercial street, being the block on the
northwest corner OF CONNER
the building occupied by the Bee
Hive store and the old Tandy property,
few doors further north, for $780,
500. Mr.. Adds is q gentleman who has
been very successful in business, and
desiring TO make prudent investment
Of his large means, has planted $2S, 600
in a town whose hopeful future and
fine pros poets for growth are continually
inviting capitalists to identify them
selves with her expanding interests.
The aiacrity with which visitors to EN-
poria with an eye to business pick
up such bargains is one OF
the best warrants of the en-
during prosperity of our beautiful
city, which has reputation abroad as a
flourishing trade center, and as the dis
tributing point for a large area of pro.
ductive territory, which is not enjoyed
by any ether town in Kansas.
We trust that the faith which Mr.
Adds has shown in the future of EN-
poria may be sbundantly vindicated by
the progress of time, and that his in
vestments may prove to him q hand
some source of profit.
