EmpOria gives greeting to-day to her
two distinguished visitors, United States
Senator John ]. Ingalls, and the next
governor OF Kansas, Colonel John A.

significant not only as expressions OF

dicatiOns of the cordial and heart.
felt kindly feeling which Emporia
and Lyon county haYe and always have
had for these honortd citizens of our
state. Lyon county shares with every
other in the state in the feeling of pride
talents and efficient service of our senior
senator in the national halls of legisla-
ton have reflected upon Kansas; and
when the hour comes next winter for
his unanimous endorsement by
Republican representation In the
Legislature. those from Lyon county will
be found expressing the will of their
constituency by cordially aiding in that
endorsement
Emporia and Lyon county citizens
recognize, too, in the career of John A.
Martin inseparably connected as it has
been with the history of the state, that
of true and tried friend OF all public
intert SITS and one worthy of the endorse
ment which his personal character and
the Issues which he represents will
secure tor him next November.
The welcome to-day Is both political
and personal, and nowhere in the state
will these gentlemen find more hearty
personal following, and Emporia ex-
tends welcome to them as two of the
best representative of the spirit OF our
young commOnwealth-typical Kansans
in all that Is implied IN the best sense of
that expression-men who have been
leaders in aud are part of the progress
of which we have reason to be proud.

RECEPTION.

Mrs. Senator Ingalls, and Mrs. John
A. martin honored Emporia Friday
distinguished husbands. and were the
guests of Mrs. Senator Plumb. One of
the pleasant events of the day was the
reception accorded them for an hour in
the evening at the home of Mrs. Plumb,
whose graceful hospitality made the
occasion a very delightful one to the
many friends who called TO meet and pay
their respects to those ladies, whom EN-
poria people found it pleasure to meet,
not alone as tribute to the political
distinctions of their husbands, but be-
cause OF the social qualities and per-
sonal graces of the ladies' themselves.

woMAN,s suFFRAeE soc1ErY.

The Woman's Suffrage Association
convened Wednesday at the Congrega-
tional church pursuant to call, and the
main auditorium was well filed.
Miss Watson, the chsirWeman called
the meeting 10 order, ana snnounced an
opening prayer Rey. De. Mackay in
voked the divine blessing 70 rest upon
the meeting. and all principles which
tend toward Gods honor and glory.
The cherubs then rendered q tune,
which was done in one of their happiest
veins.
DIR. Mackay was called upon and
thanked the ladies for the
honor Conferred upon him in asking
him 70 speak, and then reviewed
briefly the history of the movement as
it sprang into life under Lucretia Mott
and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1913. and
how through the vicIssitudes of .hIrtY
six years It has reached Its present enor-
nifty. he spoke OF all the byways of
political partisanshIp, and said we need
pure-neaTted and strong minded women

aside law and logic in this case
as il has been done ia numsr-
Gus instances before. All young
men owe all their nobIesi characteristics
desires ard impulses to their mother
who loved, cared for and nurtured him
during his youth.
Mr.. HennIBg's rendition of the banjo
solo, was fully up TO the happiest efforts
OF this excellent artist.
Miss Matte Spencer recIted a selec-
ton entitled "The Painter of Seville"
in manner most Creditable
The Chernbs, as soon as the
last lingering and touching
beauty of the recitation had died away,

were in good tune.
Mrs. Sterry then presented very
brilliantly written paper on the subject
under discussion. II was an artistic and
literary production worthy of much
praise. She spoke in good humOred
and mplimentary vein designed to
f1alter the vanity of THE News fiend,

Mrs Sterry then procs eded TO offer some
very valuable sugge slions as

the proper ways and means, better her.

how women received less money for the

hammer, but that will never keep his
arms from prolruding from his
sleeves, until he finally gets q
new SUIT. Both addresses were
logical and convincing as tar as they
went, but from both the salient points
and vital principles were omitted.
The duet by Misses Emily Moffett
and Maud Perley, was very prettlly ex-
ecuted and well received.
Mrs, q. S. Cross favored the. audience
with the beautiful solo, entitled, "Why
Dost Thou Linger YETI by Bagisnani,
which was fully up to her previous eff
forts.
There being no miscellaneous remarks,
the cherubs played closing piece, after
which vote of thanks was rendered the
speakers and the audience was dis

The above Is rather Of q Ieft-handed
compliment, but we will accept it as

should not malign the old heading Of
the STAR; for 1t was one of the pio-
neers of journalism in Lake county; a
wood-cut, designed and engraved by
"hum talent" in the day when the
railroad had not penetrated our rapid
ly developing county. We presume
We shall miss its familiar old face for
many weeks to come; and 1t will prob
ably prove difficult to accustom our
selves to its absence. But, like many
of the things of this life, 1t has had its
day; and we shall lay 1t tenderly by,
to be cared for; seen, only by the eyes
who cherish the association of the past
which cling around it; never more to

Cured about one o'clock, Sunday
morning; the light having been seen
by parties long distance away. None
of the neighbors knew anything Of the
fire until the next morning. The aged
couple had been to visit son-in-law,
living some eighty rods from them,
the afternoon previous; and went
home in apparent good health. The
terrible affair Ii wrapped in mystery;
but there are several things which
point strongly to the fact that the aged
couple had been murdered early in
the evening; the house ransacked and
plundered; and then, in the dead hour
of the night, when the neighborhood
was wrapped in deepest slumber, had
set the building on fire to destroy evil
dence of the crime.
