CHRISTMAS REMEMBRAgoERs.

The stores of Emporia were nearly ex-
hausted on Thursday by the numerous
buyers anxious to cater TO the wants of
the little ones on Christmas morning,
ana II Is matter Of congratulation that
our merchants and tradespeople gener.
ally were equal to the occasion.
All day long and far into the evening,
Sixth avenue, Commercial street and
other business thoroughfares were
crowded by customers who appeared de-
lighted with the abundance of goods
that were temptingtY displayed under
iluminations, some of which were really
artistic in design; the result Of it all
being that JOY and gladness reigned su.
preme In numerous households when
the day was finally ushered in, and the
wells drawn, and the revelations made
Of what Santa Claus had done in the
still watches Of the night.
The commemoration OF Christmas in
these kindly remembrance is a royal
custom; differing. 1t is true, from the
usAges OF our ancestors, when the yule
log blazed upon the open hearth In the
great hre-places, and they made merry
over the wassail bowl, and the prettes,
girls OF the times met their fate under
the mIstletoe, but 1t is none the less
pleasurable now than then, and there is
the same fresh delight In the hearts OF
the maiden and the enamored swain,
who:
Telling through lips OF bearded bloom,
The Old, old story over again,
AS down the royal hammered room,
To the golden gittern's strain,
Two and two they dreamIly walk"
and exchange VOWS of eternal fidelity
In reciprocal love, as there was in the
days when our great, great grand
mothers were young and listened to tn,
same beguiIing music.

SENECA, Kas., Dec. % "A largely at
tended railroad meeting was held at the
opera house here tonight in the interest
Of the Kansas, Nebraska & Dakota rail-
road.
Hon. John Francis, president of the
road, spoke and gave full account OF
the prospective ROAD. Work has already
begun a; Fort Scott, and it is intended
to complete the line IS far north as To-
peka by September next.
Iron has been purchased for the road
TO the north line OF Kansas. The enter
prise is backed by Pennsylvania capital

Some Kansas newspapers, one not q
thousand miles from Emporia, have
adopted the policy of trying to create a
prejudice against Kansas City. With
this, the NEWS has no sympathy. We
hAYe suggested some things which we
thought was for her good, but all in a
kindly spirit. Kansas City is largely
the market OF Kansas, and It should be
our purpose to help build her up, and
make her stronger, rather than tear her
down. The Usage City Free Press
speaks sensible on this point when il
says.
We have read great deal of the
childish stuff that has been written and
printed In Kansas newspapers decryinR
Kansas City. 1t IL absurd, silly and ex-
tremely ridiculous. Kansas towns can
not be built up by efforts TO excite pref
udIce against Kansas City. The only
way to divert the trade of Kansas from
that town Is to establish better market
nearer home. Wind will not do il
neither will unreasonable abuse. As
long as Kansas people can make money
by going TO Kansas City with their pro.
ducts or for their merchandise, they will
continue TO do 30 and different course
would be very foolish and unreasonable

How She Fixed It.

refused TO admit the committee.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. ga great
crowd attended the Hampton conspiracy
trial today. Many witnesses were ex.
amined, including members of the grand
jury, which indicted Hampton, who tes-
titled that Hampton had admitted before
the grand jury that he had hired q wo-
man to open houses of prostitution to
entrap certain persons
The prosecution made out a strong
case. The defendant plead on the Wit
ness stand and admitted having lewd
women as female detectives, but
denied opening houses. He had agreed
to give the Fields woman $25 per head
for all she caught and made affidavit
against. He and the police did the
work for nothing. Frank Armstrong,
county selectman and an officer of the
church, admitted that he contributed
$50 for hiring these women. He said
that the scheme was put through by an
association of citizens. Policemen tes-
titled that they walked into the rooms
of the houses and watched the proceed
ings through the key holes in the walls.
