As will be seen by the council pro-
ceedings Monday night, several additions
were taken into the city limits. We be-
lieye this was the right thing to do, and
advocated it in our columns some weeks
ago. These additions are essentially a
part of the city, and, having the benefits,
ought to help share the burdens of the
city.
The proposition to have a separate or.
ganization of the additions west of the
city would, We are convinced, have been
detrimental to the parent town and the
new organization. We want one united
city, not half-dozen little divided mu-
inequalities pulling half dozen WAYS.
From the start the people of this county
have pursued the very wise policy OF
building one good central town. This
policy has paid them. The adcl-
tions have an existence only be.
cause Emporia has grown. It Is
Tar better that all be united and
working together as one than 10 have
our forces scattered. Hence, we believe
the action OF the council was wise.
As to the legal phase of the action
there seems to be no doubt. Most of
the lawyers we have talked with saw 9
city has the power to take in additions
which have been laid out and plated
and which adjoin the original city. In
this way Copley's, Randolph's and
Whittlesey's additions had been preyi.
ously taken into the city limits. The
council has no power, though, to take
IN additions where intervening territory
lice between the city aud the addition.
there seems to be some question as to
the legality of the action last night m
the case of Normal, but the people of
that addition will undoubtedly see the
benefit 20 the property there by becom-
ing part Of the city, and will acquiesce
In the action of the council

An Old settler.

We were very much pleased Monday
morning to receive a call from j. M.
Goodspeed, of Little Prairie Ronde,
Mich. Mr.. Goodspeed was one Of the
earliest settlers here, having arrived
early in the spring of 1857. He resided
here until 1861, when he enlisted in CON-
pany B. ninth Kansas cavalry, with
which he served until the close of the
war, during which service he received q
severe wound in the face.
He came back here after the war, but
soon went to Michigan, where he became
absorbed in business and did not return,
which he now very much regrets. He
is both pleased and greatly surprised at
the growth of EmpOria and the i'm
proVement OF the surrounding country.
When Mr.. Goodspeed left Michigan
on the 10th inst, there we're ten t.
twelve inches of snow on the ground
and excellent sleighing. He says in his
section of that state the people are using
Kansas corn altogether, for which they
pay sixty cents a bushel. He expects
also, that Michigan viii have to rely on
Kansas for fruits, as they have raises
none there to speak of for several years
In a large orchard last year he only
gathered half a bushel of impertec
apples.
ALI Of his old aequaintances are glaC
to meet Mr.. Goodspeed, and woulC
vote unanimously to have him becom,
one of us again.

A HANDY surnrisa.

Tuesday evening Elder G. R. Rice and
his family were the recipients of Visi-
tation which they will always have
cause TO remember with the greatest
pleasure. The party was in the nature
of surprise but this only added TO the
enjoyment of the occasion, as the ladies
OF the company had been careful to
make provisions for such a diffusion of
coed cheer as would have required no
small amount OF preparation.
A very agreeable feature of
the affair was the presentation to Mrs
Rice of a handsome black cashmere
dress, which gift will be highly priced
by thO.recipient, not only by reason of its
excellence but as an expression of kindly
feeling on the part of the donors.
An exploration OF the baskets which
had found their way into the house re-
Vesled an abundance of tempting edi-
bles which were spread at q seasonsble
hour and thoroughly enjoyed by all.

m B.sp coNCEar,

The opportunity afforded last Tuesday
for the 1rst time in many months Of
hearing the popular Knights Tempisr
band, was embraced by large number
of the lovers of music in Emporia, and
while the assemblage at the opera house
was not, in point of numbers, what the
friends of the undertaking had been led
to hope for, It was . gathering that
could not fail TO furnish fair measure
Of inspiration to the performers.
The applause which greeted the ap-
pearance of the band and which was &C
corded to their performances showed that
the organization fully retains
its place in the hearts of the
people, and the manner II which the
opening and succeeding numbers by the
by the band were rendered, furnishes
proof that this feeling of pride is not
misplaced. The organization for the
past year hiss been working under disad-
vantages and discouragements which
would have resulted in the disintegra-
tion OF less jealous combination, but
the z. rs. have held together in the
face of all these, and lave continued
their practice with gratifying results.
Besides the selections by the band, the
program embraced fantasia from La
Somnsmbula, which was very gracefully
rendered on the piano by Prof. Held q
vocal solo by Miss Eunice FilIey, of
Burlingsme, the rare quality Of
whose voice was well dis
played in the song, "Stars the Night
Adjoining" and which won for this gifted
young lady much applause and an ex-
quisite floral tribute; fine male quar-
tette, ''The Comrades Song OF Hope
by Messrs. ID. .. Jones, E. j. Owen, John
Davis and j. D. Jones; a piano solo

rendered with great brilliancY Of execu

RUN OVER BIZ THE CARS.
Wayne Lee, Well Known Cattle Man
of Chase County, Seriously and
Probably Fatally, Injured
Mar Chicago.

PROBABLY raI8tIYS injured
Near Chicago.
This morning the rumor prevailed on
the streets of Enporia that Wayne Lee,
cattle man of Toledo, Chase county,
who Is well known in this
city, had been run over by
The cars yesterday somewhere near
Chicago, and killed. This, upon inquiry
proved to be false, but 1t was ascertained
that he was seriously aud probably
fatally injured by the cars at or near
Chicago, though no particulars could be
secured regarding the accident.
This forenoon the writer learned
from Mrs. Hedgcock, sister of Mr.. Lee,
who resides in this city, that Mrs
Berry, a widowed sister with whom
Lee makes HIS home, had received DIS
patch yesterday signed by Lee himself,
asking her to come to him Immediately
and bring his son, stating that he had
been hurt by the cars and was at Joliet,
Ill. Later David c. Allen. a brother-in-
law of the injured man, received tele-
gram stating if he desired to see
Lee alive he should start imme-
dIately for Joliet; and Mrs. Berry
Mr.. Allen and Lees soR started last
night on the late train for the last named
place.
This afternoon Col. H. G. Cross re-
ceived from Chicago the following tele-
gram:
E, w. Lee run over by the cars. Both
limbs off. Do not think he can recover

Mr.. Hinchman, who lives IN Morris
county, accompanied Mr.. Lee to Chicago
leaving here last week. 1t is
not at all probable that, considering
the nature of his injuries, the
unfortunate man can recover, an6
If he should life to him would prove
little less then burden. Mr. Lee is &
whole-souled, genial man who has many
friends here and elsewhere who will b
deeply grIeYed to learn of his terrible
