EMMA ABBOTT, the popular Ameri-
can vocalist, whose sweet voice has
won for its owner praise and adula-
ton from the civilized world, died in
Salt Lake City, January 5th ofpneu-
monia. Honest Little Emma" as
she was called, was born In Chicago,
and her childhood was passed In
Peoria among very humble sur
roundings. She first sang for bread
and for those dependent on her, and
often, in those early years, suffered
for the commonest necesSaries of
life. But she triumphed over every
obstacle and won for herself both
fame and fortune. She deserved it
all. Hers was most kind and Iowa
BILE disposition and the purity of
her life was an honor to the stage.
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1891-01-10

THERE seems to be a combined
opposition among the alliance leaders
and papers to defeat Judge PETER
for the y. S. senate. The Noncon-
formiSt the leading alliance paper of
central Kansas says: ''To overthrow
ingalls, and elect nine-months old
convert would sound to the world as
a very mediocre type of reform and
could not be regarded in the light
of victory" The Lawrence JEFF
fersoniam another alliance paper says
that Judge PETERS SWAY out" is
not the way out at all and intimates
that the Judge is not sound on the
alliance doctrine. Mrs. Lease is
violently opposed to PETER and so is
Mrs. Diggs. We are also opposed to
PETER, but as we have remarked be-
fore, if fitness counts for anything
he should receive the unanimous sup
port of the alliance. In our opinion
he is decidedly the best senatorial
timber that the alliance has in its
party. OF course no one will claim
that Judge PETER is the equal of
Senator Ingalls, and Kansas will
make an irreparable mistake if
Ingalls, is not returned. The "Way
out" Of this muddle is to make NO
change.
