cations Of coal and petroleum have
been discovered near that town. There
is an effort on foot to secure number
of additional light manufacturing en-

now regarded as being more hopeful
than it has been for some years. There
is no reason-at least none which can
not be remedied-why Emporia, with
its excellent advantages in point of To-
cation and resources, should not be-

CHICAGO labor organizations are
preparing to make it very uncomfort-
able for the national democratic con-
vention should it decide to meet in
that city. 1t seems the largest build

port that current of electricity passed

its employ, who have been running on

Plumb's proposition to annex me
Mans Land to Kansas is probably as
good way as could be devised for dis
posing of that peculiar strip of terri
tory. 1t is more nearly adjacent to
Kansas than to any other state or ter
itory, and its annexation to that state
would at once give it the advantage of

at the same time put an end to the va
rious schemes which have been con-
eocted for making it an independent
