A Word About the Pound Ordinance.
1t should not be forgotten by the
voters of Emporia that the question of
repeating the pound ordinance is TO be
decided by them at the polls tomorrow
During the time it has been in force
many of our property owners have
gone to the expense of putting out large
numbers OF shade trees, and one
thorOughfare, State street, has been en-
bellished with Il row of trees extending
from Twelfth avenue TO the railroad,
this effort to beautify the street having
been made at the expense of the proper
ty owners.
It has been demonstrated in the past
that all attempts TO grow shade trees on
our streets and avenues have proved
utterly futile as long as cattle were per-
mitted to roam at will over the town,
and the question now arises whether
the expenditure of time and money
which has already been made in
this direction shall he thrown away, and
all future work in the way of beautify-
ing the town be discouraged by aunul-
ing a regulation tbs salutary effects of
which have been so abundantly attested
during The past year. The lack of shade
trees is one of the first things which i'm
presses the visitor to our otherwise
beautiful city, and if we ever expect to
vie with our neighboring cities in the
attractive feature of foliage we must
set our faces against the plan to make
public cattle yard of the city TO the
great Inconvenience of every one who
is interested in beauiifying the town
and TO the serious Inconvenience of
farmers, the contents of whose wagons
are never safe when cows are permitted
to run at large on the streets We be.
plieve the sentiment of this community
is very largely against q repeal or modi.
ication of the pound ordinance, and il
this matter is properly considered by
the people there can be no question as
to the outcome of this issue.

A FATAL FALL.
Death Of Mrs. james NJ. Mammalian, nee
Miss Josie SIOcum, at Golden City

Death of Mrs. james NJ. Mammalian, nee
Miss Josie SIOcum, at Golden City.
II was announced in the NEWS of Fri
day evening that Mrs. Slocum and Mrs.
G. N. Sterry had started on the early
morning train for Golden City, Colora-
do, in response TO a telegram, announc-
ing the serious illness of Mrs
James NJ Manahan, formerly Miss
Josie Slocum of this city. Advices re-
ceived by Mr.. Sterry on Saturday stated
that his wife and Mrs Slocum had reach
ed their destination safely and that they
found Mrs. Manahan improving. La
ter dispatch was received announcing
change for the worse, and summoning
Miss Elite Slocum TO the bedside of her
sister, but before her preparations were
completed for starting on her
journey the mOurnful intelligence
came over the wires of the death OF
Mrs. NJ, which is supposed to have oc-
Cured Saturday night.
The friends of the deceased have few
particulars regarding the sad event aside
from the fact that several weeks since
while Mrs. Mammalian was at Denver,
which is about sixteen miles from
Golden City, she fell down flight of
stairs, and received injuries which
induced spasms and finally resulted as
stated above.
The deceased was aged about thirty
years. She was married to Mr.. Mana,
han in this city the 18th of last Septem-
Der. and they started, after short trip
east, to their Colorado home, where a
large measure of happiness blessed theiI
union until death entered home con.
secrated by love, and brought woe and
desolation where hope and joy had
reigned supreme. Mrs. Manahan was q
lady whose graces ofmind and heart rem
dered her general favorite wherever
she was known, aHd the sorrow which
her untimely death brings to her strick
en- family is shared by scores of friend:
in this city who knew and loved her.
