Frank Carleton has only been down from
London a fortnight. He is a rising young
b~arrister. with a good private income OF his
own; but this has not prevented his over
working himself a little, and he has accepted
Oscar Barrington's pressing invitation to
recruit his strength in the bracing air of Sand
combe.
There are not so many guests as usual at
Ravenswood House just now, so Dora and
Frank have been thrown together a good
deal; and Mr.. Carleton is too fond of the So
ciety of pretty girls not to think it a very
charming arrangement altogether.
The day following the little talk on the
beach there is a large influx of visitors; but
Dora finds, to her satisfaction, that in walks
or drives Frank seems ever at her side as
usual.
One day she laughingly remarks the fact,
but he merely says, quietly:
II prefer friends to acquaintance, Dora.
If you are tired already of our bargain, say
so; but it is only natural that, under the cir
cumstances, l should choose your society
rather than that of anyone else"
So the two wander about together content
eddy, though not unnoticed, for many are
| the glances and little ~innuendoes they have to
encounter, much to Dora's expressed disgust
as she freely discusses the matter with Frank,
at is too utterly ridiculous" she says
angrily, as they were one day walking
through the wood; as if we were bound to be
talking a lot of nonsense about love just be-
cause we are alone together"
ridiculous, indeed" calmly asserts Frank;
wait until Mr.. and Miss Right appear, and
we go off with them respectively, then these
clever people will see the diderence-eh,
Dora?"
Dora's heart gave a sudden jump, but she
answers in her usual gentle voice, though
she is rather silent during the remainder OF
the walk. y y \

morrow, so l warn all those of you gentlemen

AwORI, ABOUr PLAYS.

At the risk of advertising the play OF
Jesse James, the Bandit King"-which
we do not wish to dove desire to ex-
press the hope that it will not meet with
any encouragement in Emporia. In
taking this position We wish TO say in
justice to the agent, Mr.. Davis, and to
the Whitley opera house management,
that we have no reason TO suppose that
there is in the play any intrinsic quality
of coarseness which renders it unfit tor
stage presentation. Our objection to it
lies in the fact that il tends to lionize a
cruel, red handed murderer and craven
thief whose memory should be despised
by all honest men. The portrayal of the
exploits of this wretch whose name has
stigmatized the commonwealth of Mis-
souri, will tend to lnfsme the spirit of
reckless adventure among youths who
may be permitted to witness
the play, and stimulate the admiration
for such characters which has been too
widely inspired by the perusal of blood
and thunder literature.
We believe the province Of the drama
is to educate and refine, not to debase
and corrupt publ: morals. We regard
the influence OF q play which tends to
ldealize q criminal of the worst type as
demoralizing and we think the people
Of Emporia owe it to the reputation OF
this city as an educational center to
show their dlsapproval of such presen-
tatiOns

WICHITA, Kas., Nov. L. Nellie
Bailey, young woman charged with
the murder OF Clamett Botheriy in the
Indian Territory on the 18th ult., was
held to-day by United States Commits
sioner Sherman for appearance at the
next term of the United States circuit
court at Wichita. Nellie G. Bailey Is
81 years old. handsome brunette, well
educated and moved in the best society
IN New York City and New Jersey.
She met Botherly, q rich Engiishman
and member of the British association
at ST. LOUIS, and arranged with
hum to go 10 Texas and start a sheep
ranch. Before they started she got a

Rich Hill Review: We are glad to
notice that the people of Linn county,
Kansas, are awaking to the Importance
OF the above-named road. It is certain
ly the most important enterprise ever
placed before the people living along
the proposed route. The question OF
the construction of this road from st.
Louis to Mound City, Kansas, is prac-
tically accomplished. The surveying
corps coming west will soon meet those
working east, thus completing the sur
veY from the west line OF Linn county,
Kansas, to the Union depot, ST. Louis.
The work on the east end is being push
ed gradually along, about twenty miles
being now in running order. The grad
ing between Rich Hill and Appleton
City will probably be completed by jan
uarV list II farthest.
From Mound City we learn that werk
will at once commence on the grade to
the Rich Hill junction. With the Gulf
road already 20 Rich Hill, we soon will
have fifty miles of road of this import
ant trunk line in operation at this
end, and about the same number of miles
at the eastern end will be in running or
der at the same time. This 100 miles OF
road is likely to be in operation by JAN
uary -.
Another year will no doubt complete
the road from st. Louis TO a connection
with the AtchisOn, Topeka & Santa Fe
at point most suitable west Of Mound
City-probably Florence.

The assembly composed only those who
receive instruction in music from the

different stages of progress made by each
participant. and included selections
from Faust and compositions from Schu.

Several hours were spent most enjoy,
ably and the excellence of the
solos and ducts performed in

About 8 O'Clock Friday morning, as A.
G. Lakin and one or two other gentle
men were passing Charley VOLTS un-
dertaking establishment, on Sixth
avenue, they discovered smoke issuing
from the brick wall and the door
which opens into the alley. They did
not realize at first that it was fire, but
we're not long in coming to the conclu-
sion that such was the case when they
opened the front door and q cloud of
smoke, with almost sitting effect, came
pouring into their faces. The alarm
was speedily turned into the fire de-
partment, which responded with great
alacritY, and soon a stream OF water was
pouring lAto the room from a door in
the rear end. The flames were speedily
checked, with slight damage, compared
with what would have been done, had
the fire not been discovered when it was.
AS it is, the loss will probably. be in the
neighborhood of 500, mostly on coffin
trimmings, which were kept in cup
board in the back room where the fire
started. Eight or ten collins and two
caskets were more or less damaged and
the books were burned. How
the fire originated is a mYs-
terry. Mr.. Wolf says he built
fire IN the stove early this
morning and then sat down about six or
eight feet from the stove close by the
cupboard, where the fire seems to have
started, and occupied himself for some
time in looking over his books and pre-
pairing some accoucts tor collection.
About Z 80 he started out to collect some
bills, leaving the front door unlocked.
as he commonly does during the day
and he can reach no other conclusion
than that the fire was the work of an In
cendiary. The loss Is probably covered

Almost a Runaway.

Kendrick Compton, colored citizen
living three miles south of town, had
lively skirmish with his team on Com.
mercial street last Saturday. He al
tempted to back out from IN front of
Baird Bros. store, when some one
crowded In and made HIM cramp his
wagon in such way rs to throw the hay
rack, on which he had brought load
of hay to town, On to the rump of one of
the horses, which entered vigorous pro-
test and began kicking with the vigor
and rapidity of Texas mule The
team circled around at y lively rate,
while the driver held onto the lines.
perched on the hay rack in a very unen
viable position. Considerable excite.
ment ensued. and a crowd gathered,
one or two of whom had pluck enough
to lay hold of the horses and bring
them to stand still, thus averting what
might have proved to be q verv disas-
trous runaway, as the streets were crowd
ed with teams. The only damage, how
ever, was the complete decentralization
of a set Of harness. We feel like con-
graduating the old gentleman on his
pluck in hanging onto the team as he
did at the risk OF his life.

A few years ago the articles offered
for sale by dealers in furniture were
rough and unattractive, when compared
with the highly finished, nicely designed
and handsome productions presented TO
the public by the furniture establish
ments of the present day. The latter
part of this comparison we have seen
demonstrated to our own satisfaction in
a recent visit to the extensive establish
ment of Rardcastle s. Kenyon, No. 164
Commercial street. Less than two years
ago this house located in this city and
they have succeeded in building up a
large and rapidly increasing line of
patronage.
The members of the firm are respec-
lively o. B. Hardcastle and J. s. Ken
yon. A few months ago they purchased
the two story building which
they occupy and which is 25xS0 feet in
dimensions. Here two floors and a
warehouse have proved totally made
quate to the transaction of their trade
and display of stock, and responsive to
the continued expansion of their bust
ness they are building in the rear so
feet, two stories with f1oored basement
Their premises will then measure 25x130
feet with basement. or altogether space
of about 1850 square feet. The latter
part of the month they will be able to
use this much desired addition.
The immense and varied stock car
ried by this firm embraces every item in
the furniture line, and which for solid
ity, perfect mechanism, polish and gen.
eral use, we are at loss to knew how
an improvement could be made upon
them. This stock is especially
worthy of examination. AT
the time of our visit the firm was just
sending out beautiful set of parlOr
furniture which upon inquiry we ascer-
tanned was purchased by VIM. Adds,
Esq, the we'll known capitalist. Messrs.
Hardcastle s. Kenyon purchase direct
from leading eastern and western manu-
facturers, always in car lots and at cash
rates, thus obtaining very low freights
and large discounts. Special attention
is given to undertaking. Everything
connected with the last sad tribute of
respect to the dead is fittingly represent
ed at this establishment. They are pre-
pared to furnish for the humblest or the
most expensive funerals, carrying a
large stock of materials in this line,
owning their own hearse, etc.
A reliable and energetic business
firm, keeping abreast of the times. and
with a keen appreciation of the
demands of the public, they well de-
serve a large patronage.

Colorea Men to the Front.

Commonwealth There will be big
mass meeting of cOlored citizens of Kan
sas held at the court house in Topeka,
on Friday, November 8, 1888, at z 80 p.
m, for the purpose of taking some steps
to induce our congressman to bring the
matter before congress, and get that body
to lay before the people of the United
States, an amendment 10 the constitution
giving congress the right to pass a
national civil rights bill. And all
citizens of Kansas are cordially
invited to attend and take part in
the movement. Now is the time. Let
us strike while the iron is hot. The
colored mans extremity is somebody
opportunity. We must hasten. The
dogs are loose. We can hear the near
ing bark OF the blood hounds. Let US
do everything In our power to make our
rights as secure as possible. Our con-
stitution is detective, as the Supreme
Courts recent decision shows. ANY
constitution or government is defective
that does not, that cannot, protect the
humblest citizen. Congress meets De-
cember 9Th. Hence the necessity of Im-
mediate action.
