TON

(From Saturdays Daily.l q
The Democratic convention of Lyon
county met today in the Whitley opera
house In this city, prepared and adopted
its resolutions, made its nominations
and adjourned sine die in the brief space
Of One hour and thirty minutes. nor does
Il appear that there was any "cut and
dried" process In the matter. The con-
vention was harmonious throughout. 1t
appeared 70 know what it wanted, and
1t transacted lie business as q business
man would have done and went its way.
The ticket. as whole, Will undoubt-
eddy commend itself to the Democrats OF
Lyon county,
The nomination Of Thos. L. Ryan tor
sheriff has appeared for several days
past TO have been foregone conclusion,
and the convention has confirmed the
rumor by selecting him for the place.
Mr.. Ryan Is q well known citizen. .
thorough business man, Is very popular
throughout the county, and the fact that
he has once been elected sheriff Is an
evidence that he will command strong
support outside Of his party.
Mr.. Frank Mccain. who received the
nomination for register of deeds Is also
q well known gentleman, q member Of
the council, and one who possesses nu-
merous friends.
The resolutions adopted by the
convention, are In some parts ex-
ceedingly commendable, and if strictly
adhered 70 cannot do less than advance
the best interests Of the county. The
one indorsing President Cleveland's ad-
ministFation on the great public ques-
tions OF the day, such as civil service
reform and the silver question was time
ly; that In relation TO the resubmission
ofthe question of prohibition appears to
be a step IN the direction of true tenn
perance reform; that IN relation TO taxa
ton will meet with q responsive voice
from the overburdened taxpayers
OF the county without regard to politics,
and that in regard TO the death of that
distinguished soldier and statesman,
General Grant was a most graceful trib-
ute to the greatest man OF his age.
The resolutions appear to be in the in
terest Of true reform and to have been
framed by men DESTROYS of the prosper
ity of the county.
The convention is to be congratulated
on the speediness with which it accom-
plished its work. More could be said,
but the lateness Of the hour forbids
further comment at present.

We clip the following report from the
Elite News of Chicago:
Weber Hall was packed on last Wed.
nesday night by very appreciative au-
dience that was deeply interested and
highly entertained. They could not be
called critical, as criticism without q
standard for comparison would hardly
be an appropriate use of the term. This
We know they were people Of cultured
musical tastes, whose applause voiced
the sentiments of approval and pleasure
all through the evening. To attempt 6
description of this musical innovation
would be as futile as TO crItIcise 1t un-
derstandlngly. The feature which at.
trected musicians was the mastery way
in which Mr.. Henning handled the ban
10; his technique and expression were
perfect aud his leading sh owed the
teacher TO great advantage. Miss Meta
Bischof was the star pf the evening and
delighted the audience each time she
appeared. Perfect execution OF the in.
tellIgent scholar, combined with her nat
ural talent, brought forth the melody
that reaches down and stlFs the depth oil
ones emotions. The fact that such mn.
sic could be produced on the much reg.
leciected banjo, the only pure American
musical instrument. should encourage
Americans unsteady inclined to devote
q portion of their tune In An endeRvor to
master its numbers.
Mr.. Henning Will give another coDcer
shortly, when he Will introduce new anc
attractive features.

rae BAND CoNFEsrs.

One of the Interesting features of the
reunion was the band contests, which re
suited In the prizes being given 10 i've
military bands. The contest for fret
prize of $500 and gold medal was be-
tween the martial band of North Topeka
and the Dispatch band of Clay Center,
which resulted in victory for the North
Topeka band. II is important here for
Emporie people TO know that John g
Egan, leader of the Knights Templar
bind of Emporia, had been giving IN
structions to the Topeka band for sev-
eral weeks. The contest for second
prize OF $3.50 was between
the knights of Pythias band Of
Emporia and the First RegimentAl band
OF Lawrence. The judges awarded TIT
prize to the Lawrence band. Three othel
contests resulted 10 prizes for military
bands.
The facts or the baud contests. as nc
ported 20 THE News. at the reunion ar
such as to cause righteous indignation
Out OF the $40 possible points, Clay Cen
ter, in the contest for the first prize, r.
celved $40 points, while the Knights Q
Pythias band received 212 points in IN
second contest, or two more than th

FLuxER,s BLOCK.

One ofthe handsomest business blocks
that has been erected in Emporia this
season is the one which IL known BY the
title placed ct the head Of this item. The
building is ffty by eighty feet in size,
two stories in height. and is situated On
Merchants street, opposite the Hotel
Coolidge and immediately north Of the
Whitley opera house, from which it is
separated by an alley. The south room
on the ground floor, 25xSO, il occupied
by the wholesale -four department
Of Mr.. FlukeE's business. and Is pro-
nounced by good judges TO be one OF
the best arranged, most convenient
and largest rooms Of the
kind In the state. The north
room, similar in size, Is to be used
for q millinery establishment, soon 70
be opened. Upstairs there are two large
front ofices and 3 eommodious and
pleasant hall, fifty feet square. The cost
OF the building was about $500, and
the block Is one Of which Mr. Fluker
and EmporIa may well be proud. The
contractor Is A. L Jillson. The brick
work was laid by G. IDgles. the plaster
ing done by Frank Mccain, the stone
work by L. w. Lewis. the painting by
F. E. Phillips, and the plumbing and
gasftting by d. G. McMuFtrIe. In this
connection il may be proper 70 state that
the growth of Mr.. Fluker's business has
been most gratifying and from very
small beginning. Ten years ago the
gentleman came TO Emporis and put out
slate In front of one of our business
houses. and received orders tor -four
which he hauled from Paity's mill TO
the customers who wrote their names
down on the slate aforesaid. He after
wards purchased 9 small grain and feed
business, and still later bought and erect
ed the present Sixth avenue property.
now used as his retail stand. Hr. Fluker
has the good wishes of The NEWS. that
he may live long and prosper and make
as great improvement in the coming de-
cade as he has in the past.
