At her home IN Toledo, Kansas, June

and months. Our aged mother peace
fully fell asleep In the Lord, after long
life in the service Of the Master. Attend

to her sixteenth year, she then yielded
herself to her Lord by the right of con-
armation as . member of the Episcopal
church. After moving to Kansas she
united with the Ii. E. church, loving the
services and sacraments Of Gods house.
Though her bodily frame was weakened
under the burden Of four score years, the
powers of her mind and spirit were ex-
traord inaiIy vigorous and clear. Her
memory was like q rich treasure, stored
with much solid and instructive mater.
al from the earliest impressions of her
girlhood times and days. She raised q
large family to the honor
of her God, tor which in her last de-
clinlng days she often sent her prayers
to heaYen; taking an interest in the
welfare of everyone.
All knew her but to love her; she Il
missed not only by q loving family o.
sons and daughters, but by large circle
of friends. Peace to her ashes.
In addition, we deem correction due

THE EmPuR1A srREEr RAILWAY.

The street cars in Emporia have be-
come one of the greatest conveniences
for her citizens. When the first car began
running from Sixth avenue to the Nor
NAL, Oct. 31st, 1884. few people thought
that the Euporia street railway would
be the we'll patronized and perma-
nent institution that it is now.
The company, of which Van
r. Holmes Is president, j. D. Hol-
den. secretary and general manager, and
A. r. Grove treasurer, has now in Oper-
alton three and half niles of track, and
has been running five regular cars. ma
king one trip every fifteen minutes since
March 4, 1884. In addition to the five
regular cars the company has one large
excursion coach, which is a great con
Yenience on special occasions. To draw
these cars the service of twenty three
mules are required. The company also
furnishes employment for nine men.
The two lines of the compsny's are both
well patronized. The one running from
the M. p. depot to thSt OF the Santa Fe
is of special convenience to the travelling
public and to citizens going from or re-
turning to Emporia, as the cars connect
with Hll day trains. The line
from tho Normal to Soden's grove has
been exceptionally we'll patronlzed dur
ing the past month or two and is doing
much to make Soden's grove most pop
ular summer retreat and picnic ground.
Although the regular fare is five cents.
the company sells twenty-five tickets for
dollar, making the fare four cents.
These tickets may be secured at the
com pany's Office on Sixth avenue west
of Commercial street While the en-
terprise has not yet yielded large returns
on the capital invested, the expectations
of the builders have been more than
realized IN the amount of patronage re-
ceiVed.

THE COUNCIL GROVE EXCURSION.

1t is not often that an excursion comes
more fully within the meaning of the
term picnic than that which went to
Council Grove on the Fourth. There
were 119 passengers at the NJ. p. depot
at z O'Clock a. m, and every body SEEM
ed in disposition to go pIcniciBg. The
train was q special one and consisted of
seYen coaches arranged for the conven-
fence OF the excursionists. Among the
coaches was a large open one with
chairs around the sides. Box cars with
rough board benches, and two cabooses
composed the rest of the train. The
ladies Of the excursion were comfortably
seated in the last named coaches and
the gentlemen were distributed IN and
on top of the box cars. A few fire crack
ers furnished amusement for the small
boys on the Ger tops A few bucolic
individuals surveyed the fields
from elevated positions. A number
who were standing were busily engaged
dancing about to preserve their equiIi-
brium. The ladies, comfortably seated
in the accommodation cabooses, enjoyed
q tete-a-tete, and the conductor and train
men had 9 delightful time climbing in
and out over and through the cars col
lecting fares. At Americas nineteen
more passengers joined the excursion,
and at Dunlap sixty-four more were
added to the list of passengers, making
IN all oyer 200. It was a delightful
morning, and the excursIonists arrived
at Council Grove few minutes before
10 o'clock. The Knights Templar band
was escorted to q balcony overlooking
Main street, where they played several
selections. They then headed an i'm
mense procession to the Fair Grounds,
north Of the city. The band occupied
large platform prepared for them around
which the crowd gathered to the number
of nearly thousand people. The boys
played well aud the people cheered
vocifeTously. The speaking and
singing were good, the sol.
diers' dinner of hard-tack and
beans success There were perhaps
1900 people on the grounds during the
day. A rain In tue evening caused the
crowd TO take sudden leave of the
grounds and prevented the G. A. r bali
advertised for the evening. A number
of the Empoua people were. however,
handsomely entertained during the even
ing. Among those who extended their
Inequalities were Mr. and Mrs. Rath-
bone. Mr.. II. Richter and Mr.. and
Mrs. Mead, of the Cottage house. The
excursion train returned about O'Clock
in the morning. but large number of
Emporia people remained in the city
and returned Sunday. There Is no
doubt that CoSncil Grove is a delightful
town and that her citizens know how to
be entertaining. They treated the Em-
poria people right royalty and their hos
pitaiity was certainly appreciated. The
knights Templar band was the subject
Of many compliments during the day.
II Is regarded at the Grove as it Is at
home and elsewhere as the first band in
the state
