The attempts of joint committee
from the miners, smelter men and en-

The union was willing to accept this,
while copper was below IS cents, but
wanted SIS agreement when it went
above that figure.

also thought that fruit which

THE RISE OF EMpoRIA KAN.
How 1t Got to Be County Seat in the
Early Days.


The early settlers of Kansas remember
maDv exciting times occasioned by toun-
ty seat fights. Many of these fights re-
suited in the killing of some of the par
Elephants. But when Emporia wanted
to get the county seat away from Amer
icus it set its brains to work and took it
without raising disturbance. Americas
was unaware of the trick that was be-
ing played.
When Emporiar conceived the idea of
becoming the capital of the county, the
south line of Breckenridge county, now
Lyon county, was Il short distance south
of the town. Its citizens circulated Il pc
tition asking the Legislature to cut a
strip off from the north end of the county
and to add like strip to the south end,
thus making Emporia close to the center
OF the county. AmerlcuS heard of the
proposed change and got out a remon-
STRANGE which received as many or more
signatures than T. petition.
At that time the state capital was Lee
compton and the only way to get there
was on horseback. Each town prepared
to present its side OF the case to the Leg
islature and the Emporia man started
with his petition for Lecompton. On his
way, however, he was stricken with fe-
yer and ague and was detained on ac-
count of the illness. The Americas man
with the remonStfance overlook him.
Just what kind of deal was made is not
known to the public. but the remon-
STRANGE never got to the Legislature. and
when the petition was presented the num-
Der of signers had greatly increased since
it had left Emooria. The Americas man
suddenly came into possession of $500
and the title to several town lots. it is
said.
Owing to the poor facilities of COM
munication in those, days the people of
been duped until it was too late. 4,obody
opposed the change in the Legislature,
the petition was granted and Emporia
got the county seat without much trou-

Ever Had Ocean Heart?

The throbbing and vibration of the
engines of modern steamer have a
most extraordinary effect upon the hui
man heart.
Let it be said at once that ocean
travelling does not in any way injure the
heart; on the contrary, it benefits it, with
the general health.
But the vibration of the machinery is
transmitted to this vital organ with
the most extraordinary results so far
as medical examination is concerned.
\ ships doctor will tell you that
when he listens through his stethoscope
to the beating of mans heart at sea, it
seems as if every moment the heart
would stop.
With sturdy and invalid passengers it
is just the same. The heart appears
to the doctor as if every beat would be
its last This being the case, it is eN-
ceedingly difficult for the physician to
ascertain the true condition of the trav-
eler's health and he generally resorts to
the expedient of singing his patient in a
hammock, where the vibration is consid-
erahly lessened, though no device can
overcome it OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
