A PIeasan. SurprIse.

Among the number who assembled in
Chicago in August, 1880, to attend the
triennlal conclave of the Knights
Templar, was Mr.. James Smith, of
EmporIa, and his name was on the Pal.
mer house register. Mrs. Smith, who
had been visiting IN Ohio, returned,
meeting her husband in the Prairie city.
Her large valise, containing jewelry, silk
dresses, etc, amountingeo nearly 5000
was placed in charge of the baggage re-
ceiver at the Palmer house, she failing
to get check for it. On wanting the
valise, it could no where be found,
though diligent search and inquiry
were made. Even the assistance of the
police was had to no purpose. A short
time since Mr.. Smith received word
from the Grand Recorder of the Knights
Templar of Illinois. that the valise had
been found and forwarded. Yesterday
it arrived here, and upon opening il
Mrs: S. was delighted to find not a thing
gone or misplaced, though she viewed
with some dismay the rather ancient

young man of considerable ability in

part to make the organization q success.
The first edition of the Normal
Cabinet" made its appearance last
Saturday. The business managers
are now busy mailing copies to

successful character of the institution
which it represents, and hence our great
est delight will be to fill its pages with
interesting and Instructive matter. Call
on the business managers and get sam
pie copies to mail to friends.

The Facts Wanted.

EDS. NEWS: One word more in re-
ply to the Republicans defense of its
"pet" candidate for councilman in the
First ward. The charge" against the
Republicans candidate is based on what
the writer of this article heard that
candidate say not two months ago.
Said he, Il am opposed to the law"
meaning the prohibitory law. The
writer takes this for the exact truth,
and in preference to the rambling state
ment of the Republican. And no one,
he supposed, ever dreamed of the Re.
pubIican's "pet" voting for the amend.
ment.
The Republican seems surprised that
the Temperance principles" of its
candidate should have been questioned
Now, whether the Republicans candi
date drinks intoxicating liquors or not
Is none of the writer's business, but
seeing the Republican wishes to dis
cuss that point, he would like it to state
what its candidate has ever done fol
temperance. when and how? Further
more, will it please tell the voters of the
First ward, whether its candidate voted
for or against the amendment? AnC
let it be shonest about it, for the voter
in the First ward want facts, and no
lodging. CRITIC.

They Saw the watsr-works,

Tuesday afternoon, three gentlemen
comprising the water-works committee
from Fl Scott, in company with Mayor
Eastman, l. ID. Fox and N. Whittlesey :,
drove down to the Cottonwood 10 inves-
tigate the water-works. On arriving
there they alighted from their buggy
and hitched the team to convenient
post. To better illustrate the workings
of the engine, the force with which it
throws water, etc, about fifty feet of
hose was uncoiled and the water turned
on. II So happened that the hose passed
near the carriage, and close to where
most ofthe gentlemen were standing
and, it also happened by some fatality
that the hose burst, and for a few mo
ments the e ntlemen from Fort Scott
thought they had encountered a young
water-spout They, as we'll as the
horses, were drcnched and at the first
indication of IA cold bath the horses
made n lunge, tore loose, and had it not
been for Mayor Eastman, who caught
the reins and held them in check, the
entire buggy would have been demolish.

Sabbath afternoon just after the les

Mr.. d. w. Eastman, having obtained
permission tospeak few words, stepped
forward and in behalf of the school pre-
sented to E. W. Cunningham a hand
some French clock and a beautiful
watch charm, aggregating in cost
over twenty dollars. Mr.. Cunningham
has been superintendent of the school
for over twelve years, during which time
lie has given his best efforts for its ad-
vancement and has been jealous in eve-
~ good word and deed TO promote the
interests of this important branch of

worthiiy bestowed, and handsome as
they are they only serve to reflect in a

UntimeIy Death OF wilIie woed

UntimeIy Death OF Willie WOed
The people of this community were
terribly shocked to learn Sunday
morning of the death of Willie Wood,
which sad event occurred al the residence
of his father. northwest of the city, at
about O'Clock u IN. He had been all
ing for only few days, having taken a
severe cold about a week ago which in
daced diphtheria, and this terrible dis
ease terminated fatally shortly after the
first symptoms manifested themselves.
The deceased was nineteen years and
six months old. and was a young man
of much more than ordinary promise
He was just abaut completing a course
of instruction IN Professor Pirkey's
business college and his outlook
for the future was full of hope and bright
with prospects of success. He was pos
sessed of an extremely attractive pres
ence and his manner was such as to
make friends of all with whom he came
in contact. He was n devoted son and
brother and his untimelY death brings
the deepest sorrow into home from
which the light of his presence has
gone out forever. The mournful dispen-
sation is especially affective to his broth
er Lew, with whom the deceased was
closely associated for many years. and
whose delicate health lily fits him to
meet this crushing blow.
The funeral, which took place this
morning. was very largely attended.
The services were conducted by Elder
Lott, pastor of the Christian church,
and Professor Pirkey, both OF
whom made remarks appropriate
to the solemn occasion. The
following young friends of the deceased
acted as pall-5earers: Frank McColloch,
Willie Hibben, Andy ireland, Ed
Kinnan, Alex Norton and Harry Kirke.
The music was furnished by the Chris
tian choir and was beautifully touching
and impressive.
A large number of sympatbizing
friends accompanied the mourning rela-
tiyes TO the cemetery, where the remains
of their cherished dead were committed
to their final resting place. there to sleep

We learn from prominent ciIlzen of

Allen creek, on the Dow creek road,
north OF the city is abo:t to tumble

There has been great deal of foolish

built there, our informant says,

when it was put in. We all rem embel
