special delight in tormenting one

Dugan. We have noticed that
Henry has been worried even

HEROIC ACTION NECESSARY.
An unholY Suia.

Two brothers, Miller by name, both
living near Lang, got into an alterca-
ton over a trivial matter few days
ago, which has resulted very unpleas-
antly to all the participants. During
the preliminary battle of words, Will
liam attempted to strike his brother
Aaron, but not succeeding, picked up
club and smote Aaron on the hip, in
ficting painful bruise. William was
not the only one to blame, however, as
one H. Harvey was valuable aid to
Aaron in subding his brother. AS the
younger brother came out best,
Aaron sought the protection
of the law, in swearing out a complaint
against William. The case was tried
before Judge Fletcher yesterday, and
from tbs first the evidence was very
conflicting. So much SO indeed that
the attorney for the defense was en-
abled to have the first complaint with
drawn, and a new one sworn out
against H. Harvey and Aaron Miller,
for an assault on William Miller. In
consideration of all the evidence
brought in, Judge Fletcher fined the
Miller boys and Harvey SIS each and
one third of the costs, amounting in
all to 1882. A great deal of interest
was manifested in the case, and the
judges decision was very satisfactory
to those who heard all the evidence.

Yesterday afternoon as the 4:3O
train on the NJ. K. s. T. road was COM
ing in, very sad accident happened
about four miles southeast of town.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. S. Stanley were work
ing on their farm, through which the
road runs, and had with them two
small children, who were playing
about on the track. AS the train
came in sight the larger one stepped
of the track to one side. The other
one-a mere baby-did not realize its
danger and went on with its play.
The engineer, seeing the child, whis-
tied and rang the bell, hoping that
the child would leave the
track in time to save It's
life. He reversed the engine
and shut down every brake, but it was
too late. The engine struck the baby
killing it instantly. The parents were
but few rods from the track, bu;
could do nothing to save their child
The train was stopped and the passen-
gers did all in their power to console
the stricken parents, as the mother
was almost wild with grief,
No blame whatever rests on the en-
gineer and conductor, as they did al
that was possible to stop the train II
time to save the baby's life.
The child was nearly two years old
and was the pet of the family. tt
funeral was observed this afternoon
The remains were not mangled in TIT
least, the shock killing the baby in
stantly.

OLPE, July 1 S9.-There was birth
day party given at the residence of
E. Z. Watkin in honor of
their daughter Nellie about fifty
of the friends of the fami-
ly were present and splendid time
was had. An elegant luncheon was
served and all enjoyed the occasion to
satisfaction. Miss Nellie was the re-
cipient of number of very nice pre-
sents and was very proud of the occa-
sion,
We are informed that G. p. Jones is

year and hopes for larger crops than

very quietly here, with no celebration.
There were some private picnlcS
around, the finest of which was held
n Soule's grove, under the supervision
of Messrs. SOule, Mapes and Ostrum.
A number of young people were pre-
sent and an enjoyable season was had.
We are sorry to note that at some of
these picnics the brothers and sisters

SEWERAGE.
what some OF our Leading PhysIeIans
Think About 1t.

what some OF our Leading Physicians
Think About 1t.
The question of sewerage has been
freely agitated on the streets for the
past few days and many of our readers
have expressed a desire to know the
opinions of our leading physicians on
the subject. We give below their
views when approached on this ques-
ton. DIR. Jacobs said:
Everyone in town who knows me,
knows 1 am in for sewerage, first,
last and all the the lime. The simple
reason that we can do without thing
is no reason whatever that we should
deprive ourselves of its use when it is
beneficial to us. We might easily live
in tents and be without houses, or in
fact, do without many things of like
character which We enjoy. 1t is then
no more reasonable to say we ought to
do without sewerage, because we can
do without it. The time will come
when we must have system of sew
erage, and the sooner the better"
DIR. Wright holds the following
opinion, which is sound, viewed from
practical business standpoint. II
am in favor of the city council perfect
ing a plan for a practical, economical
and efficient system of sewerage,
adapted to the uses of the entire city,
present and future; but only con-
structing so much of 1t now as is de-
manded by the present needs of the
central or business portion of the
CITY,"
DIR. Page thinks that many of the
preventable diseases, such as typhoid
fever, which have grown to an alarm
ing extent in Emporia for the past few
years, would be greatly lessened by a
good system of sewerage. 1t would
without doubt benefit the city in every
way.
DR.. McCandless says: Il am a
large property owner in EmpOria, but
would be glad to help put in a first
class system of sewerage in the central
portion of the city. The outer portion
of the town does not require it so much
at present, as it is not yet as compactly
built as it will be IN the future.
Good sewerage in this city would
improve the the health of the inhab-
itants."
DIR. T. c. Biddle deems sewerage nee
essary to the health of the city. but
feels somewhat doubtful as to the abil.
ity of the city TO provide the means re.
quired.
Space will not permit us giving the
opinions of the many prominent busl
ness men already interviewed on the
question. The majority of them think
sewerage not only desirable but absOl
utely necessary to the health-and
prosperity to a great degree-of the
city.

Tonic Sol IA College.

L. Ii. Lewis has successfully passed
an examination in musical memory,
tune, sight-singing, copying by ear,
harmony analysis voice cultivation,
pronunciation and musical and verbal
expression, and received yesterday a
certificate from London, England
which entities him to become share
holder of the Tonic Sol Fa
college. The examination cost T. H.
a great deal of labor, and we are glad
that success has crowned his efforts.
OF course the public already know that
he feels to-day two inches taller than
usual.
L. L. Robertshaw, A. G.. of Chicago,
was the examiner, who is considered
one of the finest musicians in the
United States, and the only representa-
tive of the Tonic Sol Fa College for the
Mid Western states.
Mr.. r. also leads a choir of 150 pro-
fessOrs OF music in Chicago, and it is
not at all improbable that he will be
prevailed upon to pay a visit to the
western states to explain the system
and progress of the Tonic Sofia for the
general use of the present and coming
generations.
