work for mechanics will soon be plentiful
Active operations on the western extension
of the Fort Scott and southern Kansas roads

need for the inhabitants of the sand house
to occupy their quarters any longer.

EMMA KING spAuN.

The sad news of the death Of Mrs. Emm,
King Spaun was brought to this city yester
day morning. She had gone out to MI
Leach's, five miles east of town on visit
where night before last she sank quietly in
death. She had been long and patien,
sufferer. Many months since it was given
out that she had passed away at which time
we wrote quite lengthy notice in which We
dwelt upon her life and accomplishments.
The paper had gone to press before we
learned OF our mistake when the press was
stopped and the notice taken from the forms.
She never herself saw the article, but week
or two ago in speaking to us about. it she
WAS hopeful Of renewed health and vigor
with the returning spring.
Mrs. Emma King Spaun was great ia
vori,e with the county and people of Wich-
ita in the carly days. In addition TO her
vivacious manner and many accomplish
mgents, she was a singer of rare powers. We
shall not soon forget in the long ago, when
on ono dark and almost startless night
she lead in solo, a happy band of serena
ders in that touching melody, Speak to me,
Love, Only Speak" In those DAYS Emma
King was the life of many social gathering,
the center of many happy party, the living
participants of which will hear of her death
with sad hearts. Her remains will be buried
this afternoon at 8 O'Clock from the Presby-
terrain church, and all friends of the family
are invited to attend.
There are distinctions that will live in heaven.
When time is forgotten circumstance
The elevated brow of Kings will lose
The impress ofregalia, and the slave
Wlll wear his Immortality as free,
Beside the crystal waters; but the depth
or glory in the attributes Of God,
Will measure the capacities of the mind
And as the angels differ, will the ken
OF gifted spirits glorify Him more

A EzOrse = Elief Caught,

On the 7th of May last stranger
hired horse from George Womel-
dorff, saying that he was going tc
Harrlsonville and would be absent
three or four days. The man prov
ed to be horse thief, and got away
with the horse, saddle and bride.
Nothing was heard from either, al
though bills were scattered far and
wide, offering a large reward for the
thief and property. About three
weeks ago stranger sold or trad
ed horse to F. F. Fletcher, Of
Pomeroy' This horse proved to be
stolen, and after quite chase about
the country the thief was captured
at Pt. Pleasant and lodged in the
Pomeroy Jail. This thief proved
to be the same one who stole Mr..
Womeldorff's horse. A short inter-
view with the thief dev eloped the
fact that he had disposed of the
horse near Nclsonville, Athens
county. Stree then Mr.. WOmel-
dOrf has sent out and recovered his
horeo Tboeo v,ooeforc hoyn hoon
brought before tho grand jury, now
in session. and the thief will un-
doubtedly be indicted on two charg
es Of horse stealing, and get u tick

Keep ilac Boys oa the Street.

The public sentiment everywhere
seems to be in accord with the sen
rIment of the Sentinel, in urging
that parents keep their c.,,ldren at
home ssof nights Our exchanges
generally have reproduced our
views, and giving stronger and local
argument upon parents. We have
space for the following only, which
serve to show the general sentl-
ment:
The Lancaster Gazette says that
parents who allow their chi ldren
the ireed.,m of streets after night
fall are surely sowing the wind, and
in time will reap the whirIwind of
sorrow, shame and disgrace. There
is no good reason why boys or girls
should be from home after 9c'cIock
at night unless On some special oc-
casion, yet they are to be seen ON
the public thoroughfares until long
after midnight. This is bad for their
health as well as for their morals,
as children who thus wander abroad
when they should be in bed, must
necessarily suffer in heaIth.'
The Athens Journal says:
I'VE would place the latcness of
the hour at 7o'clock in winter and
So'clock in summer. In no town is
the evil greater than in Athens, and
there..is no law through which 1t can
be stopped. This being the case
the better judgement of the parents
should prevail /; and they should
see that their children are in the
house at proper hours thereby saw
ing for themselves and the children
much sorrow.

to the love and care of the bereaved
husband.
Mrs. Brown was not q member
of any church. but her heart, has
long been with Code people, and
what she most regretted during her
severe illness, was that she did not
identify herself with the church of
her choice. the Baptist, while in
her health. that she might have en-
joyed many houss of pleasure with
those whom she believed to be, as
we'll as many others, the
followers of Jesus Christ. Her
trust was in th Lord, and she long
ed to be with Him in Paradise, and
would often say to those whom she
loved best. when they were trying
to relieve her suffering, II don't
want you to shed tears when you
look on me in death, but console
yourselves that am free from pain
and sorrow, and at rest" When
the king of terrors, Death, came,
he was welcome guest, and with
shouts of praise and love to Him
who does all things we'll, she enter
