DEATH OF non. o. 3. EMmrR1.

The Topeka Commonwealth OF yesterday
as also the Emporia News, contained an
| nouncements of the death at Albuquerque
New Mexico, of Hon. David b. Emmert
At first We could hardly credit the sac
news, but late Friday evening we were told
that telegram had been received In thi.
city In confirmation. The editor of thi.
paper first formed the acquaintance of Mr.
Emmert at Topeka, In 1859. when be
worked with him. We afterwards re.
newed our friendship while he published q
paper at Auburn, Shawnee county, called
the Docket. In 1868 or 1864 Mr.. Emmcrt
became the proprietor OF what is now the
daily Fort Scott Monitor, in which he Of
fered us half interest il we would 60
down from Burlingsme, where we were
then located, and take charge Of it,
as he had so many other things
TO. look after, he had no time 10 give to the
paper. We knew him as chief clerk Of the
Kansas house OF representatives, as a Uni
ted States land officer of the southeastern
land district, and later as resident OF this
city for several years and clerk in the
land Office here. In all these places and re-
lations we knew him as an honest, earnest,
upright man, possessing more than ordi-
nary powers of mind, a soul filed with
charity for the frailtics and shortcomings of
his human brothers everywhere. Since his
removal TO Mexico, We have often heard
from him directly by letter. for he had the
EAGLE follow him TO his new home. As
secretary of the New Mexican Annual
Fair association he had formed
wide aud favorable acquain-
lance with the people throughout
New Mexico. When we last saw him he
informed us that he was prosperous in his
business and happy in his new surround
ings and was never stronger or more
healthy in his LIE. II seems that his death
was sudden. His wife and children will
have the warmest sympatbies of large
number of people in this city.
"Why is life given
To be thus wrested from us: rather why
Obtruded on us thus. Who, If he knew
What we receive, would either not accept
Life offer'd. or soon beg to lay it down,
Glad TO be DISMISSED in peace"
For it is a weary interlude of long woes
and brief joys, vain hopes and vainer fears,
and why should we hesitate TO have the
days cut short in number, knowing as we
do their perils and unrest Then TO noble,
Dave as we bid him farewell
we bid him rest.

OUR NEXT FAIR.

ID. A. Mitchell, secretary of the Arkansas
Valley Agricultural society, has begun col
lecting material for the premium list of the
next county fair, which will be held ON
September so, and October /, 2 and 3, 1854.
He is now canvassing for advertisements,
and has hit upon very novel, and We be-
lieve much better plan for securing them
than any heretofore adopted. Instead Of
the advertiser paying cash for his adver-
tisement, be pays for 1t by offering o spec
iaI premium on whatever class of goods or
article he may select For instance Nc.
Comb Bros. offer fine saddle and bride,
worth $40, to the best lady equestrienne,
and lines Ross offer handsome sl2 cro-
ehet shawl TO the prettiest baby under
eighteen months old. Thus il will be seen

WICHITA, KANSAS, June I2th, 1884
With pleasure ! state to the public that some
time age, after being dreadfully bothered to get
spectacles that could use without fatiguing my
ewes, applied to DR. Yost and was fitted with
pair of his improved lenses. And, oh, what

eyes perfectly cool and comfortable. l feel now
that 1 can continue in my business, which is
very hard on the eyesight writing good deaD 4,
and in old age have eyes worth many times what
they would have been had continued the en-
pirical haphazard plan Of buying any kind {
glasses kept by the storekeepers. Should ever
need to buy glasses again, most assuredly
would buy of none other than a practical optic

NO SUICIDES HERE.

The editor of the bloomington ILL., Pan
tagrapA, telegraphed us Friday for th,
particulars by wire of the poisoning of
man we never heard of nor of his being
poisoned. The editor of the PantagrdpA i:
kindly but firmly informed that the poison
traffic is now prohibited in this state, ant
that once a man strikes this town or valley
all danger OF suiciding is past. A good
many people suicide up at Topeka,
and in such numbers as to materially effee,
their census returns, and we can't blame
the victims much, but suieiding is out OF
the question in this beautiful city, the air
and water both being antidotes to ordinary
poisons. The PantagrcpA is assured that
If their man is in this city he must not only
be alive and well, but happy.

THE PEACEFULNESS OF
DEATH.

How peaceful is the dwelling-place
of those who inhabit the green ham,
lets and populous cities or the dead F!
They need no antidote for care-no
armour against fate No morning
sun shines IN at the closed windows
and awakens them, nor shall, until
the last great day. AT most a stray
Cling sunbeams creeps in through the
crumbling wall of an old, neglected
tomb-a strange visitor that stays
not long. And there they all sleep,
the holy ones with their arms crossed
upon their breasts, or lying motionless
by their sides-nor carved in marble
by the hand of man, but formed in
dust by the hand of God. No one
comes to them now, to hold them by
the hand, and with delicate fingers to
smooth their hair. They heed nc
more the Establishments of earthly
friendship. They need US not, how
ever much we need them. And ye
they silently await their coming
Beautiful is that season of life whel
we can say in the language of Scrip
