THE soLDIERs AT EMPORIA

The soldiers that left Fort Leven-
worth Thursday afternoon for the south
west, passed through Emporia last night
about 10 O'Clock. The company con
sisted of about 200 men. When they
arrived at the depot they were very
anxious TO learn the latest reports from
the indians and telephOned for num-
Der of copies of THE DAILY NEWS.
which contained the only authentic news
of the Indian matters published in this
vicinity yesterday.
THE FORT RILEY TROOPS.
About 8 o'clock last Thursday two
trains, one of soldiers and the other of
amuuition, horses and supplies. arrived
at the Missouri Pacific depot. The
soldiers consisted OF the Fifth cavalry,
companies A, +, G and NJ, under Lieu
tenant Compton. There were in all
about $50 men, as many horses, 100 head
of mules and 10 sImy wagons. The
two trains stopped on the switches just
east vi the city and the soldiers alIghted
on the commons, built the breakfast
fires, boiled the coffee and fried the
meat. 1t was an interesting scene and q
number of citizens were on the ground
talking to the boys in blue, who were
good conversatIonalists. The breakfast
consisted of great piece of bakers
bread. a chunk of fat bacon and quart
of coffee, which the soldiers seemed to
relish as though they were eating from
the bill OF fare at the hotel Coolidge.
A soldier remarked that they were
glad to be called into the southwest
"But fear you will not find any In
diaDs," said the reporter.
WELL" said the soldier, 81

lost any Indians, and don't think

We learned from Lieut.. Compton that
the company had only been at Fort Riley
three days. They arrived there from
Wyoming territory, having marched
overland 700 miles III about forty days.
The lieutenant WIS asked what ht
thought about the Indian scare.

Prof. Donaldson, of whom We made
note IN our personal columns, made us q
very pleasant call Friday. Mr.. Donald
son is one of the most substantial and
thorough educators of the state. Speak
ing with the professor in reference to the
prospects of the State Normal. we were
glad to Ieaan that Marion county
will this year send the largest delegation
ever represented at the Normal from any
one county. Fourteen Germans, rang
ing from seventeen TO thirty fYe years of
age, who have a good GEL man educs-
ton, have decided to attend the MOI NAL
next year. The total attendance from
Marion for next year should
that county have its usual representa-
ton outside OF the Germans will be
about twenty. Should the fifty other
counties that were represented last year
at the Normal do as we'll as Marion, the
attendance at the Normal for 1850
will be over 1900. OF course such
will not be the case, but the indications
are favorable for large increase in the
number of students.

A FEW PLAIN WORDs.

Our morning contemporary is respor-
sible for the following:
1.-THE News had the cheek to charge
the Good Templars for a notice of their
social. The lodge by formal vote agreed
TO pay Ii In pennies-atter several men,
bers had expressed their contempt for q
paper that was 50 mean and narrow
minded"
No Coed Templars having called at
this office today to make any denial of
the above, we take it for granted that
the action of the lodge was as stated. No
one has waited on US as yet in reference TO
the bill or handed over the pennies
which are legal tender here IN small or
large amounts. Unless tho above action
may be construed into vote of thanks
We believe the good members of the
lodge have heretofore as now failed 10
show any gratitude for the
multitude of favors that they have
received at our hands free of charge.
About the special entertainment In ques-
ton THE News published many lines
gratuitously and il was really accidental
that the eleven lines, out of some sixty,
were charged for. The matter
grew partly out of the
fact that the pane. Forest Garden, {"
which concern pays us for such locals,
was in the lines in question. The charge
however. was none the less legitemate
10 any event.
These arc the eleven lines:
Open air concert tonight at the For

wIrH THE urxDoos.

An evening with Sau-ah-brah brings
one Is near the land of the Hindoos,
perhaps. a. the great part Of those who
heard him will ever get. He was dreae-
ed. or rather WRAPPED. in the genuine
Hindoo dress and changed his garments
white speaking at least halt dozen
times. The stage at the rink was fitted
up as Hindoo home, fOrnished with
H'ndoo bede. tables, gods and other ap-
Pc -atus. Sau-ah-brah did not attempt
70 give Q philosophical lecture. bat
dressed in :the costumes Of his country
proceeded 70 impersonate the habits of
Hindoo life. Although this was quite
interesting. 1t was not more 80 than the
account hs gave of his first experience
in:America- Tne first place he arrived
at in this corairY was Boston. He
was Immediately inyited to . dinner
given in his honor by the ladies Of that
city. He went at the hour appointed,
but could not get IN at the door. he
pushed and ptiled on the dc II but in
vain. He then leaned against the door
and thought what CaristIeu land this
must be to invite one to dineeT and then
fix the door so that he could not get in.
He finally made 9 rCsket on the door
and was ushered into the parlor where
they all arose and bowed 10 HIM. Pres
emily dinner was announced and Sau-
all brah sprang from his chair in delight.
The Hlndoo guest was the first waited
upon. Upon turning over his plata he
found his napkin, and having been pre-
viously informed that he should use that
article to wipe his mouth, he began Q
vigorous Wiplng, eating and wipiuR al
ternately until he had devoured all be-
fore him and the other membar at the
table had not yet began TO eat. He
burned his mouth with the
tea and then waited fifteen minutes
for 1t to &C u. He had been instructed
not TO make noise IN swallowing his
tea, SO he filed his mouth iJl OF the
liquid aud then was afraid to swallow.
What was he to do? He could not speak,
he could not swallow. Quickly he lifted
the cup to his mouth and replaced the
tea as he had taken 1t. His experience
at the Boston reception convulsed the
audience with laughter.
Sau-sh-brah said many very good
things about America, and also made
some good criticisms. The hardest
thing for HIM to learn IN this country
was the language and photography. They
told him the principal parts of the verb
to be was am, was, been, but he could
not see what to be had 20 do with am,
and was and been. But the spelling
puzzled him most. He did not know
when to use the els and les. There
were believe, receive, relieve, pre-
| cIeve, etc., and he did not
know whether To put the "I" before the
| Sc" or the sc" before the "i." But he
solved the problem he made the "e''
and the 81" alike and placed the dot in
the middle, which was the way, he said,
the American pupils did in their exam
nation end ElwaYs got good grade,
too. Sau- all Brah will continue his
