Considerable excitement prevail

Considerable excitement prevail
ed here last Saturday morning.
when it became generally known
That there wasisesh beef ID market.
When we FIRST heard the glorious
news we thought it was only a joke,
but soon found that it was indeed
a beautiful reality. Strange acci-
dents will happen. however. even in
the best regulated community. As
we cannot guard against them, it is
always best to be prepared. There's
no telling when it may occur again.

PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates, through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the onLy sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known. and the highest medical
authorities agree that ySotAiug but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache. and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BIrTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood. purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-.
lively not injurious.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

1t affords Us pleasure to note that the
city council at its meeting Monday eve'g
appropriated $3.50 for the public library
project in behalf of which Q number of
the ladies of the city have been working
for some weeks. This is money we'll he
slowed, and the action of the city
fathers IN this direction will meet, we
believe, with the general endorsement
of the people Of Emporia.
1t is the purpose when
the city erects a building on its
lots on Filth avenue to furnish up rooms
for the library in q manner befitting the
importance of this enterprise.
Several subscriptions in the way of
money and books have been made to the
library, and the books ct the Normal,
which belong to the old library associa-
tion, and comprise about 700 volumes,
will furnish the nucleus of . fine collec
ton Of standard woRks. The I'M
dertakine is one which de-
seFYes the warmest reimbursement,
e. its ends ara of the most beneficial
character and the hensfcent results OF
such an institution in thIs csty cannot
fail to impress themselves upon every
one who properly estimates the infiu-
sncc5 for good which must proceed from
such q means of popular culture.
The Normal regents will meet on the
It'll of the present month, when the lie.
dies will present their case to the board.
There can be no doubt as to the
justice of the claims made
by the ASSOCIATION, az the books
were turned over to the Atheneum
by the Emporia library association Or
gsnized in this city some years ago,
upon the express condition that they
should be returned to the association
In case the Atheneum should close. We
learn that all Of the life members of the
old association Who have been seen are
willing and anxious that
the books should be turned
over to the new organization as they
doubtless will be.
In the meantime subscriptions both in
the way OF books and money are in order,
and We hope TO zee our people sus-
tain their excellent reputation for
generosity and public spirit in this
connection.

wide gulf between the mere trader in
drugs and the careful, painstak-
