SURPRISED saAlN.

We have been handed. by a valued
friend Of THE NEWS, an extended &C.
count of a pleasant social occasion In
Pike township, September 5, being the
celebration by large party of friends Of
the Seventeenth anniversary of the mar
rage of Mr.. and Mrs. Ross Thomas.
We are obliged 70 condeDse the account
somewhat, though noting with the
greatest pleasure this kindly evidence of
the appreciation OF their friends and
neighbors so happily shown to resi-
dents of Lyon county as well and worth
lily known as are Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas.
Our correspondent says:
Through the kindcesS of Mrs. Jacob
Moon, their daughter, we we're invited
TO celebrate their seventeenth weddipg
anniversary. 1t was to be a surprise
and a complete surprise it was, sure
enough, as was evident when the wagons
and carriages rolled in from every direc
tion. 1t was about IL O'Clock when they
all arrived, consequently dinner was the
first thing on the program. A table was
soon spread under the shade trees In
the front yard, and you should have seen
the good things with which 1t was
loaded-a dinner fit for kIng-In fact
just such a good dinner as our country
wives can get up every time.
Among the guests present we noticed
Mr. James Phenls and wife, Mr.. VIM
Carney and wife, of Emporia; Mr.
Nicholas 10y and wife. Mr.. John 10y
and wife. and MIR. and Mrs. j. W. Lesh,
of Americas; Mr.. and Mrs. Charley
Johnston. from Liberty, and Mrs
Herbert, of AmerIcus.
1t took some time for dinner In the
meanwhile We were entertained with
some excellent music by Miss Emma
Barbour, of Toledo, and Miss Caddie
10y and Miss Ella 10y. of Americas
Dinner being over we all repaired
TO the spacious sitting room TO finish The
surprise by rendering to Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas, through Mr.. John 10y. table
full OF beautiful presents. After the
presentation, which was very tender and
full of interest, you would almost have
thought you were in loYefeast. Every
one was happy and a number of appro
pirate little speeches were made ex.
pressing good wishes for long and hap.
pY life and many returns Of their wedding
anniversary. Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas art
old and respected citizens of Kansas
they having moved here in the territor.
ial days, and for long time in the early
history Mr.. Thomas was the assessor Of
Lyon county. He and his wife have
many friends through the county, who
will be glad to hear of the happy occa-
sion.

DANGER IN DELAY.

Another railroad Is seeking admis-
sion 70 our city. VIII 1t be allowed 10
enter? The st. Louis and EmporIa, and
the st. Louis, Kansas City and Western
will form a continuous direct line from
St. Louis 10 Emporia. and will pass
through some Of the finest coal, timber
and agricultural lands IN Missouri and
Kansas. Western men, men who have
watched the development of western
cities, know the important bearing that
numerous and good railways have upon
their growth and continued stability.
Cities can be named that might have
been the "Kansas Cities" of the west,
had they been on the alert,
when good trunk lines Of lead
ing railways sought in vain for aid
TO enter them. Empoua, as related to
this new road, could get along without
1t, but she cannot afford to do 50. The
growth Of our city has been gradual.
steady and surprising. It has attained
it present magnitude without q single
important manufacturing concern. With
good manufacturing interests here
progress in the future would be
surprising even in the light of
unparalleled success In the past. To have
manufacturing coal and timber must be
accessible. There is no way "a accom-
plish that end so speedily as by means
of the new road. All that Is asked Is the
right Df way into the city. 1t is not our
province to say where 1t should enter,
but when it shodld be given the right of
way is-now. If our council and mayor
do that which IN the near future will be
a credit TO them and great gain TO En-
pOrla, the portals OF the city will be
thrown open to the new rrilway without
