n2m6 Mr. Jas. W. Blacker, the general agent for the Improved Standard Churn, is now stopping in this city, and is prepared to Bell county rights to those who want to purchase. This is said, to be one of the best churns in the world, and as it sells for a very low price, it is a money-making institution for a live agent.

Messrs. Gassett Wood, the proprietors of the city dairy, began delivering milk on Monday from a bran new wagon, which is very handsome. They rigged up their horses, too, putting on a fine set of new harness. These gentlemen, from such indications, are certainly doing a prosperous business. Not Half of the Facts.

"Write us up a local," said the popular dry goods man. Mr. G. W. Newman, to us yesterday morning.

"Anything particular this week?" we asked. "Well, yes," said Mr. Newman, "tell the ladies about our fine dress goods, and parasols, and fans." "Have you a fine stock of. these goods?" we enquired. "The finest in this city, and the largest, and I am selling them low very low," replied the gentleman, enthusiastically.

"You know it is quite common," we said, "for an advertisement to contain all your statements, and the ladies are often disappointed- They find those statements somewhat exaggerated." "I know that," said Mr. Newman, "but I mean what I say, and the ladies will find when they call and examine my goods, that I have not exaggerated one particle, in fact, I have not told half the facts."

"Well," said the speaker, tartly, "if you are going to be so awful nice about it, it is but I wouldn't say anything if I were you.

Didn't you tell Sallie Spriggins, this morning, to "pull down her basque?" "No, I didn't," retorted the face growing crimson; ana bailie bpnggins will say I didn't. She" won't go back on me. "This is a nice racket you are giving us," cried the president, after rapping both speakers to order. "Let us ask what is the object of this society?" "To discourage slang!" cried a dozen voices. "Correct," said the president, "go on with the funeral." A member arose to explain that she had been fined at the last meeting for saying "awful nice" herself, but she hadn't the stamps to pay it now would settle however, in the sweet by and by.

"That'll be all right," said the president; "pay when you have the ducats." Another member asked if a young lady could say "old splendid" without subjecting herself to a fine. "You bet she can't," said the president. who was the original founder of the society, and therefore appealed to when any nice question was to be decided. "Then," said the speaker, "I move that Miranda Pew come down with the dust, for I heard her say that her beau was old splendid." Miranda's face was in a blaze, as she cried, "Well, if my beau was such a hair-pin as your fellow is I wouldn't say it." "Shoot that chinning," cried the presi dent, "will you never tumble?" But. the confusion was too great to be al layed.

Miranda's blood was up some sided with her and others against her, and amid the babel that followed could be heard such exclamations as "dry up," "nice blackberry you are," "wipe off your chin," hire a hall," when a motion to ad journ was carried by a large majority. A Fine Instrument. Messrs. Hall, Waite have just re ceived one of the finest pianos ever brought to this city. It is an upright, Steinway piano, and cost one thousand dollars.

This fine instrument was ordered expressly for W. T. Soden, proprietor of the Emporia Flouring mills, and will be placed in his residence in a few days. Those desiring to see a fine instrument will be gratified by calling at the store of Messrs. Hall, Waite Co.

And those desiring to purchase any kind of musical instrument will find that their wants can be supplied at this, house also. New Disinfectant. Peroxide of hydrogen is recommended to prevent the spread of scarlet fever and small pox, as it contains a larger amount of oxygen than any other known substance, and one-half of it is loosely combined and in a highly active condition, ready to combine with any organic matter with which it may be brought, in contact. It would seem, therefore, to be an agent specially suited for the destruction of. the poison germs of scarlet fever, smallpox and other epidemic diseases.

As a disinfectant it is recom mended and may be sprinkled over letters, papers and articles of clothing, and may be combined with any perfume, preferably with toilet vinegar or eau de cologne, in the proportion of about a drachm to the ounce. Small Fox Proclamation. The Mayor has issued a proclamation of which the following is sections 1, 3 and 5 Secton I.

Sawyer is an expert in the hotel business, and intends to make that house one of the best in the city. At a close calculation there has been less than fifty residences built in this city sinco the 1st of January. There is not, nor has been for some time, a house for, rent. A gentleman from the country brought in last week a young wolf, which he caught near his farm. The cayotte was about four weeks old, and was as tame as a young puppy.

It would certainly pay, as rents are high. W. P. Herring and family, of New York, are stopping at the Park Place hotel. Mr.

On last Thursday morning there were two cases of birds setting in front of Adams' express office that attracted considerable attention from passers by. One was a box and the other a wicker basket, and contained choice specimens of chickens and pigeons sent to a gentleman in Peabody, Kansas, from England. They came from Liverpool by- the steamship "Nova Scotia'' to Baltimore, and thence by rail. Several of them were dead, and were altogether in a bad condition. The festival given by the.

ladies of the First Presbyterian church last Wednesday evening was a complete success, notwithstanding the threatening weather. The ice cream and strawberries were dished up and served by the young ladies of the Sunday school, and who that had a heart could refuse an offering from such fair hands and smiling faces? Each table was decorated with two or more handsome boquets. The evening passed pleasantly, and all too quickly, and everybody enjoyed themselves and wished for a festival every evening. The annual convention of the Episcopal church, in the Diocese of Kansas, will meet in St. Andrew's church in this city next week.

The first service will be held on Tuesday evening, when the Apostolic rite of Confirmation will be rdministered. On Wednesday moring the convention will assemble for services; in the afternoon there will be a business meeting, and in the evening the Bishop will read his annual address. On Thursday business meetings will beheld, and in the evening missionary addresses will be delivered. The public are invited to attend all the church services. Rev.

James French, of Denver, District Secretary of the American Baptist Home Missionary Society, visited this city last Friday, and lectured in the M. E. church in the evening on the "Great Egyptian Pyramid. The audience was all that could be expected from the limited that could be given, and the lecture highly in teresting and instructive, illustrating in a very happy manner the recent marvelous discoveries of science in regard to a monu ment of antiquity which has for ages been regarded as one of the seven wonders of the world. Those who heard it will wish to puiaue farther various lines of thought which could only be indicated in a single lecture.

Mr. Harker, a new settler in Kansas, now farming Mr. J. S. Craig's place, north of Emporia, lost a very valuable mare, a few days ago; her death resulted from the effects of a runaway on last Thursday.

Mr. Harker's boy was harrowing when from some cause the team became frightened, and ran at a fearful speed, the harrow making several revolutions in the air, finally hit-ing one of the horses in the side, which threw her on to the harrow, two of the teeth burying themselves in her side. The poor beast had to be turned over before the harrow was detached from her. She lived until Sunday night, when she died. Mr.

H. had been offered, repeatedly, $400 for the "span, but knowing the value of good horses refused to sell at those figures. Runaway teams are becoming too numerous for the quiet citizens of the southern part of the city. They no sooner get their houses and fences reparied from the collision of so-and-so's team, until another rip-snorting span comes dashing along, regardless of picket fences, posy beds and mother's pets, playing havoc with everything that chances to be on a line with their notions of public highways. Yesterday an old pair of crow-baits, looking as though that gnawing at the stomach had made them desperate, came dashing up a by-way on Randolph's addition, scattering pig pens, chicken coops, children, and an occasional arm el of fence, with the front wheels of a delapidated looking wagon, until they were turned from running through a beautiful door yard, iu that vicinity, and dashed north on Merchant street, when they were lost sight of by the citizens of that part of the city.

None knew where the horses came from or where they went or to whom they belonged. She was going west to grow up with the country. She had 5 or 6 children going west to grow up with the country, too. They got as far as this place, Tuesday of last week. The train stopped at the depot, and she thought to step across the pave ment and-get some peanuts of "Blind Davis.

She was just into the middle of the purchase when the bell began to ring, and the train started to pull out. The sound of the bell no sooner lit on her attentive ear, than she lit out for the train. She reached it just as the rear end of the sleeper passed and at this she made a des perate leap, catching the with her hand, but missing her foot hold, she was dragged to the ground. She released her grasp, and rolled over on her side she arose to her feet, gave a glance at the de parting train and thought of her child ren, she started down the track at a gait which was everything, but slow. The train didn't stop, nor did the woman.

The train got faster and the woman tried to. The conductor of the sleeper was standing on the; rear platform and after repeated cries from the woman, he pulled the rope. The train didn't seem to stop and the wom an duplicated her former efforts. The conductor tried to stop the train but could not give the signal. By this time she was near a half mile out.

The woman gave up and stopped, with doubtless a sad heart. Just as she made a halt the train came to a stand still, she was given a signal to come ahead, and she In a few minutes, she was safely aboard the train, in com pany wiui ner cnuaren.

I have been reading your paper for some time, and am very much pleased with it, but some of the Democrats in this part of the country think the price of The Sun is too high. Now, I would say, while The Stjn is a new paper in this county, and the editor is working for the benefit of the Democratic party, we should not think his paper too dear; for while it furnishes us $2.00 worth of reading, it does us as a party twice that amount of good. If there were a few more as good Democratic papers in the adjoining counties, we would stand some chance of running a much better ticket in the future. Now, I would say to the Democrats of this and adjoining counties, wake up! open your doors and windows, and let The Sun shine in your midst. D.

There is an organization of young ladies in this place for the prevention of the use of slang phrases. They meet every Monday evening, and have a good time. This society has its president, and its secretary, who have about the same duties to perform as other socities, found for a less worthy pur pose. It has a treasurer also who pays all bills, and collects the fees imposed upon the members who violate any of the rules.
