The genuine guilelessncss Of the Emporia
people IL not little refreshing. Every
few days the Emporia papers come out
with rapturous report Of a steamboat ex-
cursion, taken by Trading society people,
capitalists and others Of leisure. With q
great flourish OF trumpets the names OF the
distinguished party are given. With
minuteness OF detail the weighing OF anch-
ors 10 described. The leaving OF the land
ing, the hoarse putting OF steam and the
groaning of the engines, the gracefully
curling smoke trailing along the wake Of
the vessel as one by one familiar land marks
are passed, and islands left in the distance,
is drawn and then Of the mooring, at last,
made away OF from the din, dust and con-
fusion of the city, in some delightful silyian
retreat where tables are spread and costly
visnds Of delicacy and rare old wines are
served to the hightoned company. And
then again how they touched at Randolph's
Landing, left Coon Island away TO the
right, and cast anchor after delightful day
in Moonlight Cove. or course there is no
ti'ei os AmPoi'a, noi any Sonsiociooie
body Of water or stream nearer than the
Great Arkansas or the Missouri. All this
blow is over an Insignificant mill pond,
made by daming n creek called the Cotton
wood, a small tributary Of the Neosho.
The steamer is an old square-bowed mud
scow, innocent Of hold, deck or cabin, and
run by second hand threshing machine
engine. Randolph's Landing, Coon Island,
Rural Retreat and Moonshine Bay are all
within u stones throw of each other, and
around and about which the wiggletail
waggles. the bull frog croaks and the mos.
quito sings from summers end to summers
end, save when disturbed by these frorhy
excursions so swellingly reported, and the
mud scOw aforesaid.

All the beautiful and unique works OF
art Of the homes Of this city, all the oddi-
ties. relics and pretty things handed down
from the generations and preserved for the
hands that now hold them, rs well as many
interesting and novel pieces Of handiwork,
useful curious and ornamental, have been
gathered together by the ladies Of the
Christian church and their friends of which
to form an exhibition. The display can
be seen at the Woodmsn building for the
small sum Of ten cents. No one should fail
to make the place visit. Everything has
been put into a neatly printed catalogue SO
that without asking questions any one can
tell what the object is and who owns IT.
The price OF admission is only ten cents
and one can find studies or pastimes for
ten minutes or a whole day. 1t would not
do to itemize, but there are many pretty
pictures, some Of them works Of art,
bronzes, statutes, needle work, treasures
Of the sea and of the mine, besides some
extra things to raise the laugh. Refresh
ments will be served during the evenings,
but the exhibition will be open every day
and night the balance OF this week.

A woman by the name OF Ross, accompa-
MED by seven children reached this city on
Friday from Toledo, Ohio. Her husband,
John Ross, one-legged soldier, after SELL
ing two houses In Toledo, packed up their
household goods and left for Wichita. He
made the Valley House his headquarters.
lie wrote to his wife that he would meet
her and the children in Kansas City on the
10th inst, and for her TO come on. After
that nothing has been seen of him. His
letters remained uncalled for in the postof-
fee up to the time Of the arrival Of his wife.
lie came here 20 buy farming or other prop
erty. He was seen around with a man who
Was throwing knife game. His wife in
forms us that he had 81, $40 on his person
that she knows of, but that probably he had
more. For four or five days she has made
diligent inquiry everywhere, but can nei-
Their hear OF him or find the household goods.
Ross is an Odd Fellow and member OF the
G. A. X. in good standing. Mrs. Ross is q
bright, intelligent woman. neatly and CON-
fortably dressed, us are the children. She
says she owns another house in Toledo and
that her mother has home there also and
is comfortably situated, and that II she don't
hear something OF her husband within 4
day or two she shall so back. The affair is
n myterious one, and in our judgment there
is another woman in the case or the man
Ross has been foully dealt with.

When 1t was made known that the Rap
lists would hold social 1t the residence Of
DR.. Smith on Wednesday evening smile OF
satisfaction might have been seen TO settle
upon faces OF all, for well they knew what
that meant. They knew 1t meant an even
ing Of recreation and pleasure such - oaly
DR.. and Mrs. Smith, seconded BY the Rap
list ladies, could give. The evening, with
its gentle, unobtrusive moonlight and re-
freshing GOODNESS, was all that one could
wish, and sense OF ease and perfect enjoy
ment seemed to pervade the entire assem-
bly,. OF the entertainment we would lain
say more. There was the music BY the
band, there was the music by the company,
there was the music In the low, sweet hum
and merry outbursts Of many familiar

that the Imagination can best describe. An
other and important feature was the long
tables ladened with refreshments suitable TO
the season. Also the committee Of young
ladies for selling bouquets, from which /
have no doubt considerable sum was real
lied. The song sung by Mrs. Levy was ap.
preciated by all. In connection with all
this was promenading, street car excursions
and all other requisites Of q complete socia-
BILE. The net profits, including bouquets
mot sold, we have not learned, but have no
doubt II was considerable. Take 1t all to-
gether 1t was success Of which any de-
nomination might well be proud, and to
which any might attain II only carried for

The neld OF blue grass, sown by II. c.
Mann on the mill farm last year, is solid
sod and very luxuriant. Mr.. Henry Sweiter
southeast Of town is probably the most ex-
tensive grower OF tame grasses in this
county. He has sixty acres Of blue grass,
orchard grass and timothy. He says the
growth or yield OF the blue grass is not
satisfactory for pssturage or hay purposes.
His timothy cut two ton to the acre, and is
up nicely again. The orchard grass he
thinks leads both OF the others, since cut
ting it has grown mp again from eight to
ten inches,
