At IL go last night an alarm of fire was
sounded from the engine house. 1t

w. n. G. RECEPTION.

An Elegant Affair at the Masonic
Temple Last Evening.
Probably one of the most interesting
and recherche sffairs 10 connection with
the grand reunion in this city took place
last evening in the grand hall of the Ma
sonic fraternity. which had been kindly
rendered for the purpose by the brethren
OF the mystic tie, the occasion being q re-
ceptlon rendered by the Women's RelIet
Corps OF the state to the Grand Army OF
the Republic and a large number of in-
Vited guests.
AT an early hour the hall was filed to
its utmost capacity with all the most
prominent personsges In attendance on
the reunion, as we'll as a veiy large pro-
portion of EmporiS,s best and most pub
Ito spirited citizens. representing the
wealth and elite of our place, of both
sexes.
Mrs. Margaret r. WIckens called the
audience to order and after q few terse
remarks Immediately proceeded to busi-
ness and pleasure combined. The enter
tainment was opened by some excelle.t
music by the Newton cornet band. which
was followed by the Modocs of Topeka
with one OF their txcell eht vocal selec-
lions. Gov. FAirchild then addressed the
audience in some very pithy remarks,
especially calling attention to the female
branch of the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie. He was listened to with much atten-
Iion and loudly cheered at various points
OF his discourse.
Senator Plumb was next called upon
and succeeded even better than usual In
pleasing his audience, INDUCING in many
pertinent and witty illusions to the better
halt of humanity.
Gov. Martin followed In strain of
mixed eulogy and explanation as TO his
attitude toward the sex, but, like the rest,
agreed that the world would not amount to
much without the ladies.
''Sister Tom" Anderson was then intro
duced, who was greeted with heHly hand
clApplng, especially by the ladies. As
usual with him. his remarks were mostly
of the witty kind, and were well received,
Interpreted with speeches, vocal music.
recitatIons, ETC., quite an extended pro-
gramme was gone through with, which
was thoroughly enjoyed by those fortunate
enough TO be so early as to gain positions
within hearing.
Lack of time and space alone cOmpels
US to abstain from further mention than
to stste that Miss Anderson, Miss Weeks
and others added their contributions to
make the reception 3 very pleasant one.

THE REUNION.

The old soldiers picnic is oyer and our
city will quickly assume its every day ate
tire and methods Of routine procedure.
With the termination of this, probably the
grandest, best conducted and most success
full reunion ever held on Ksnsas soil lends
aseries of enormous tasks which hsv,
fallen on the shoulders Of, comparatively
speaking, only a noble few of our people,
who have devoted their time, labor and
money to the sole object of making it
what 1t has been-the largest and best re-
union ever held in the state.
OF course there has been more or less
kicking and wire pulling and jealousy, as
there always is in an undertaking OF this
magnitude. But, In the general conducf,
and the great results obtained, we think
Emporis may we'll feel proud of the In
mense task so we'll performed, and in con-
nectIon with this pride ana satisfaction at
he general results, those who did the
work and bore the burdens should not be
forgotten in the way of thanks, at least.
The press OF our sister cities have been
unstinted In praise Of the grand, open
hearted and liberal manner in which we
have received and taken care of our many
guests, and If in no other way, we are well
repaid for our efforts by the favorable
impression that has gone forth among GU
neighbors as to our enterprise and busl
ness facilities.
Although the reunion may not have been
financial sui cess az tar as we are at
present concerned, yet the effects and re-
suits and experiences obtained. will be OF
vast Importance and profit TO Us In the
future. And should We have occasion to
again enter into similar undertaking the
lessons learned during the last few days
will be then we'll worth all they have cost
Us now, as the experience gained will re-
turn interest on the capital invested this
time.
