Mr. P. II. Finley met with a severe accident on Tuesday last while on his way from Emporia to his farm north of town. His team, becoming frightened, ran away with him and threw him out.

causing injuries which prevented him from continuing his journey. A pleasant feature of the Murdoch entertainment was the music of Prof. Sogard's amateur orchestra. The young folks composing it seem to have been taking considerable pains to render their performances snmotn and artistic, and we noted much improvement over their first efforts together.

According to the old sign, this would have foreshadowei six weeks of such boisterous weather that the g. h.

But as there are no such weather regulating hogs in Kan sas, we incline to the belief that he was most wise who thankfully enjoyed the bright sunhine of ednesday last. A Dangerous Place. The bridge over the Cottonwood at Soden's mill should be boarded up short distance on each side.

E. M. Ford, of Emporia. G. Repudiation, If You Please.

In our refunding let no scheme of re-pudition or evasion of debts whisper their seductive arguments into our ears. This city is enorniously in debt, and some of the indebtedness was foolishly contracted. But we must not compromise the honor of our city by wriggling out of any portion of debts by legal quibbles. Better pay every cent Twice over than to repudiate a dollar even by any roundabout method. Repudiation, by any name you chose to call it.

A Safer Place Needed. The safe in the office of the Register of Deeds of Lyon county is entirely insuf ficient for the safe keeping of the county records.

J. P. Sanford on Friday evening last, who chose for his theme '-The Old and the -Pans in ar limes having been given here once before. Col Sanford's style is well known to Emporia audiences, and his entertaining compari sons between the new days and those of thousands of years ago were listened to with much interest, ilis lecture was en livened bv the rich fund of anecdote up on which the Colonel draws at will, and items of historical interest were presented in a most interesting fashion. The attendance would probably have been larger had the night been better.

I he voting men's debating club deserve- much credit for bringing Col.

James E. Murdoch, the veteran actor and reader, arrived in Emporia on Saturday last and on Suuday evening he entertained a very large audience at the M. E. ehurch with scriptural readinj The announcement of this purpose was not made until Sunday morning, but the house was filled to its utmost capacity and all felt that the time had been most pleasantly and profitably spent. Hi? first effort was in announcing the beauti ful hvmn.

-When all thy Mercies, oh inv God," which was read with ad mirable effect, aud of which the choir sang a few verses. After prayer by Rev- Mr. Kirby, Mr. Murdoch read the story of Joseph and his brethren, with an earnestness aud tenderness that riveted all attention, and breathed new interes into the well-worn, beautiful story. Hi next effort was St.

Paul's eloquent de fence before Kimr Agrippa. in which there was opportunity for a better dis ply of dramatic powers than in the pre vious narrative, and into which Mr. Mur doeh threw the power of which his fine voice is capable. 1 lie readings lasted over an hour, and were very much enjoy ed bv all present.

Death of Capt. C.

11. North. The announcement of Captain North's death last Sunday morning startled Emporia as by an electric shock. No one knew of his sickness until his death was announced. It brought to mind tue days of war times, when sorrow brooded over every household and none knew hw oon the angel of death would visit them.

It threw a sharp and clear light on the slender thread by which we hang onto this thing called life, and emphasized our utter helplessness when the hand of death is upon us. The cause of Captain North's deatn was inflammation of thi bowels, from which he has been subject to attacks for some time past, lie was out in the conn-try Saturday afternoon at the wolf hunt, when he first complained of feeling unwell. During Saturday evening he grew worse, and suffered very much, and it became apparent to his attending physician. Dr. Jacobs, that he could not recover.

Retaining his consciousness until the last, Captain North sent for ids attorney and arranged his earthly matters, and at nine o'clock on Sunday morning breathed his last, with the words on his lips, to his wife, "Be Captain North was bom in Ithaca, N. in lie came to Emporia in 1S71. and has since been prominently ideutilied with the interests of our city. Most of the time he has been in ihe drug business, having closed out his partnership with Mr. Chas.

Ryder only a few weeks ago. A funeral service was held on Monday morning at the late residence of the deceased, the sermon bing preached by Dr. Cordlev All the stores hating been closed for "two hours in respect for the deceased, a large number of his friends attended and loilowed the remains to the train, it being the desire of Mrs. North to bury her husband's body at the old home in New York. The little company of cadets which marched in the Grant procession on the 4th of July formed a part of the procession in token of the feeling they held for the Captain, who hail spent much time in drilling them last, summer.

On every side the sorrow was sincere and deep, for Captain North was a man of such genial kindness of heart that he endeared himself to all with whom became in contact. Mrs. North will probably remain some time in the east, but she has not yet determined, we believe, whether her future home wiil be made in Emporia or not. Secretary's lieporl Of the Lyon County Horticultural Society, held at Emporia. Feb.

2d. ISsl The society met pursuant to adjournment, at the office of Robert Miliiken; Robert Miliiken, President, in the chair. Meeting called to order by the President. The Secretary absent M. S.

Piper was chosen Secretary pro tern. The first business before the society was the subject of "Trees, for Shade and Ornamental piuposes." Mr. Miliiken read an interesting paper upon this subject. We regret that there was not a larger attendance to listen to this very able paper, as it is a subject that should be of great interest to every person in the county and State who intends to plant trees for "either of the above purposes. Mr.

Miliiken was requested to furnish this paper for publication in one or more of our county papers, hoping that it may awaken an interest in the subject of tree planting, and an interest in the work of this society. After a short discussion of the subject of trees for shade and ornament, it was decided that the suoject of -Evergreens." also the preparation of the soil for tree planting, should be taken up at the next meeting of the society. The subject of an apple display according to the prfuiiuni list of the society was next considered. The offer of premiums are as follows: At the first meeting in March, which will be March 2d. a premium of i lor lirst, for ihe second and 21c for third best display of apples for ISso.

We hope all who have apples of their own raising, whether members of the society or not, will come to this meeting and compvte for the premiums. President Miliiken if convenient before the first of March ad let him know that you will be at the fair with your apples. Coiue to the next meeting and let us make the Lyon County Horticultural Society one worthy of its name. The society adjourned to meet at the office of Robert Miliiken. on the IGth day of February.
