GONE HOME.

Mrs. Elizabeth KIzer, wife of Jacob
Kizer, died very suddenly at 8 O'Clock
on Sunday morning at the family resi-
dence on Merchants street, at the age of
sixty-thTee years. The cause of death
was heart disease, with which the de-
ceased hal been afflicted for some years.
On Saturday she was ailIng to a consid-
cradle extent, though it was not sup
posed her end was so near until within q
very few moments of her demise.
Though the messenger OF death came
quickly and without warning he found
the deceased ready to obey his sum-
mons. She felt that she had accom-
plished her work here below, and she
looked forward with unwavering hope
10 the rewards which are promised to
those who hold fast to their faith unto
the end. She had been identified since
childho God with the NJ. E. church, and
she bonored her profession of religion
by blameless character and a correct
and useful life.
Mrs. Klzer was born in Preble county,
Ohio, in June, 1921. She came to EN-
poria in 1871, where she has since re-
sided. She was the mother of two sons,
Prof Frank Kizer, of the city
schools, and Charles Kizer, who resides
at Mcpherson, this state. The funeral
took place Tuesday from the family res.
idence at half past 10 o'clock and was
conducted by Rev. j. T. Hanna.

Louie Lord I'm Linwood Case.

The role of Margery Dore id the emo
honal drama of "Llnwood Case" is
finely adapted to the powers of Louie
Lord, who personated that part at Whit
ley's opera house last evening. She
possesses q vigof of action which is af-
forded excellent scope in the exciting
situations in which she figures IN that
thrilling drama. Mrs. Lord has i'm
proved very materially in her general
style on the stage since her
earlier visits to Emporia, and
even then she was accounted a
very good actress. Her dramatic attain
ments are certainly of very excellent
order and she displays degree of pow
er in her work that cannot fail to excite
interest aud admiration.
We regret TO say that Mrs. Lords sup
port Is not at all commensurate witL the
merits of the central figure of the cast.
We would recommend a more careful
study of the play to such Ofthe perform
ers as were not "up in their lines" and
there lie rsoD FOR Improvement in other
directions which we might
mention. The fact that Mrs.
Lord atoned so largely for the delln-
quencies of her company speaks we'll
indeed for her ability as an ACTRESS.
The music furnished by the Sim
Brothers was highly meritorlous, and
was thoroughly appreciated.

A TuasIe with Trsn,Ds

Tramps were numerous and previous
at the Santa Fe Depot and switch yard
last night. There were about twenty of
these Migrants providing about all night
and several cars were broken into and
their contents tempered with. This
morning at about five O'Clock Geo. Nor
gage, the night depot master, ordered a
squad of them out of the waiting room,
but they refused TO go. H. B. Morse
happening to put IN an appearance he
telegraphed for an officer TO
the Coolidge, and Jack
Gilchnst hearing the message, started
for the depot, and with his help and
that of MIR. Morse. three of the tramps
were arrested and conveyed to the
cooler.
When elected from the depot one of
the fellows picked up a rock to throw
at Mr.. Mortgage, but the latter drew "A
revolver on him and this settled the
scoundrel. One of the vsgabonds had
his lace pretty badly frescoed In the
row. If this tramp nuisance shows
signs of continuance at the depot it
would be well to inaugurate the shot
gun policy, and we hope that the city
will take some measures this season to
put all persons found lurking around
the town without any visible means OF
support to work. Let US have a rock
pile and we khall have less tramps.

One OF the Leading Clothing Houses OF
The State.
The Emporia clothing house of Lewis

similar establishment in the state, makes
q specially of imported piece goods.
Mr.. T. II. Lewis, of the firm, has lately
returned from Kansas City where he
went to pay the import duty
on the goods shipped to his
firm direct from London. 1t is an ex-
cellent arrangement for western merch-
ants that Kansas City is port of entry
for foreign goo Is. MIR. Lewis found
Mr. crowell, the cuStnm officer, very
gentlemanly Official.
But in regard TO the goods, they are
the finest ever received by the Emporia
clothing house and will stand the test
of thorough inspection. Many suits
have already been sold. Customers
are invited to call soon and
have first choice. The goods speak for
themselves. AS for price, this house is
prepared to discount any establishment
in the state. They employ many tail
ors, occupy the whole upper story OF
the building they are in, and are better
fixed than ever TO suit their customers.
TRE CLOTHING DEPARTMENT.
In ready-made clothing this firm now
has the freshest and largest stock they
ever displayed, and in point of style, cut
and quality the goods are not to be sx-
celled.

SubstantiaI Irducemeni..

The fact that Rev. DIR. Cordley, of the
Congregational church, of this city, re-
Ceived some months ago call from
Lawrence which vas OF such a nature
as to entitle it to very serious considera-
ton at his hands, is quite generally
known by the people of this community.
In view of the great reluctance of his
congregation here 10 even thiRk of part
ing with him and as Reorganization of his
Invaluable services, the trustees of the
church, at a recent meeting, voted to in
crease his sllary $500 per year, and the
Ladies' society of the church also voted
to raise $1,000 as a donation to him In
case he should decide to remain iii En-
poria. We earnestly trust that this sub
stantial token of appreciation and regard
on the part of the doctors parishioners
may aid him in settling the question
under consideration in favor of this city,
where his influence is so extended and
his opportunities for doing good are so
great.
