Merry Makers at ,IcnEurtrie'.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. d. e. Nc
Mmtrie was the scene last Saturday
evening Of Il most enjoyable gathering.
The guests, some twenty-five or thirty
in number, were the particular friends
of Miss Alice Oyerstreei, who makes
her home with the McM9rtries, and
right royalty did she entertain them,
with the assistance of Dir. and Mrs.
McMurtrie, whose faculty for making
people feel at home and thor.
ougbly enjoy themselves needs
no comment from US. Several
very pleasant past,mes were participated
in throughout the evening, and not the
least enjoyable feature of the occasion
was the delicious Ice cream and cake
served to the company. From first TO

A serieus Jump.

Miss Fannie Randolph met with a
very painful accident Monday at the
Junction. She, with several friends.
went to the depot at II O'Clock to see the
family of Mr. Coat start for Iowa, and
concluded to jump on the train and ride
as far as the Junction. supposing that
the train stopped there, and that they
could get off without any difficulty.
But contrary To expectation,
it did not stop still. only
slackening up the speed little as it
reached that point. All managed to
jump off without any mishap. save Miss
Fannie, who injured her ankle so
severely that she had to be carried to a
hack and taken home, and when she
reached there was still helpless and had
to be carried to the house, and, we are
sorry to learn, is suffering the most in
tense pain yet.

what WIN EmDoria Do .

The commander of the G. A. r. for
the department of Kansas has issued
circular asking for bids for the location
of the Soldiers and Sailors Re union to
be held during the month OF October,
1888. The bids are to be opened June
so, and the city Offering the most liberal
inducements will be chosen as the place
of the meeting. We suppose there may
be rs many as 10000 of the old soldiers
of the Republic gathered on that occa-
sion, and their stay will be for several
days. We believe it would pay EmpO-
ria to make her best effort to secure this
location of the reunion.

Messrs. o. McNulty and E. c. Robin
son, whose presence in this city was
noted in our personal columns Tues
day, were here IN consultation with w.
d. Brewer, upon matters regarding the
s. A. Brown s. Co. lumber interests.
These three gentlemen meet quarterly,
and the meeting of yesterday was the
first of the present year. They repre-
sent all Of the Brown lumber yards In
the state. Mr.. McNulty, of Cherryvale.
is interested in sixteen yards, located
along the st. Louis & San Francisco

fourteen yards on the Kansas City, Law
renee &c Southern, and W. D. Brewer, of
this city, in twenty-seven yards, on the
Missouri Pacific and A, T. & s. F. rail-

yious year; that there seems to be more
money in the country, and that the crop
prospects are exceedingly fine, except
that grass is a little backward.

manufacture of sugar, also, which will
greatly enhance the importance of the
