R. C. Gemmell, chairman of 'the executive committee of the Kansas Young Men's Christian association, has sent the following cir-tular: Topeka, October 1, 1385. Dear Brethren: The fourth annnal convention of the Young Men's Christian associations of Kansas will be held at Emporia, October 29 to November 1. The opening session will be held Thursday evening, October 29, at 7 o'clock.

Encouraging progress has been made the past year by many of our associations, due, no doubt, to the more intelligent understanding of the association work, and it is earnestly desired that every association in the state be fully represented at the coming convention, so that we may all enter upon the new year with increased enthusiasm, and.Ja better knowledge of our work. The number of delegates is unlimited, and each association should promptly arrange to send to the convention as arge delegations as possible. Pastors of evangelical churches are invited to meet with ua and take part in the proceedings. Christian young men from anv town, village or institution of learning in the state, even where there are no associations, will be heartily welcomed and entertained. It is earnestly desired that each association instruct its delegates as to tbe amount they will pledge for the maintenance of the state work for the coming year.

It is also hoped that every delegate will endeavor to be present at the opening session and remain through the entire convention. Sunday will no doubt be a day of great blessing and none should fail to be present on that day. Electri Lights Eb. Journal: The Herald -Tribune inquires "are we to have electric lights?" and in answering the question is in error, as I will briefly explain. It does not cost the city nearly $6,000 to light by gas.

The proposition submitted to the council at its last meeting, while it might possibly gire more light would not cost the city any less than gas under the present contract. The electric light with the proper system and a well, regulated plant is preferable to gas, but in all cities where it has been introduced it has not been satisfactory by any means. The most popular system for street lighting is not the Edison. Streets, parks and all large areas can be much better, and more cheaply, lighted by arc than by incon-descent lamps. Edison has no arc lamp.

The electric light is coming, bat our city fathers need be in no haste to let a contract for lighting the streets with sixteen candle power incandescent lamps. The question will bear delay and investigation. Tax Payer. County Commissioners' Meeting. The county commissioners were in session yesterday at the court house.

The greater part of the day was spent in examining bills and getting them in shape to be considered. The chairman of the board and county clerk were authorized to draw warrants on the county treasurer to pay for the erection of bridges at the following places, the warrants in no case to be for more than the following sums: Captains Creek Rock Creek, Steele's crossing 2,000.00 Rock 2,000.00 Washington Creek, Shepherd's crossing 2,000.00 The same to be paid from the county general fund, but in no case until the bridge is completed and accepted by the board. PROF. MORRIS. The Famous Trainer Coming.

Prof. Morris and his now famous company of trained ponies and dogs will be the attraction at the Opera House on next Monday and Tuesday evenings with a matinee Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. This will be the only appearance of the professor here this season. The company eas been greatly improved since last year; the troupe now numbering 42 dogs and 10 ponies. They do really wonderful ihings.

The following from the Kansas City Star: The performance given by educated dogs aud ponies at the Gillis opera house is worth seeing. It is not to be compared to the ordinary trained dog show. The dogs and ponies taking part in the performance are beautiful specimens of their species and show far more intelligence and far greater ability as actors and actresses than many of the human animals who have preceded them on the boards, it seems incredible, but dogs in human attire actually carried the various parts of a little comedy, doing everything except talk. They walked exclusively on their hind legs, sitting on little chairs and looking very human in their dresses and dress suits. The exhibition certainly demonstrates the tact that dogs and ponies possess reasoning faculties.

Prices only 15 and 25cts, 25 cts extra for reserved seats. ADVERTISED LETTERS.

Under the title, "My Confessions Eecollections of Hall a Century," M.

Arsene Houssaye has brought out in Paris the last four volumes of his reminiscences. Mme. Emilede renowned daughter of Mme. Sophie Gay, was one of Houssaye's intimates, and the story of her life was told him by its heroine a few days before her death. The circumstances that led to her estrangement from her husband are recounted as follows: "Mme.

de Girardin knew love but knew not passion. She sought the hour of dawn, but was afraid of sunstroke. One day a terrible drama was acted. A man of fashion a dandy, as they said at the time, had thrown himself at the feet of the tenth muse. She laughed, but the lover was in earnest.

Her heart was touched, butshe did not yet open her arms. He grew desperate and committed all kinds of follies; he frequented women and gambled, thinking that women might make her jealous and that wealth would enable him to triumph over her. He lost on both sides, and lost his mind in the bargain. He visited Mme. Gay at Versailles and told her that he was about to die on her daughter's account.

In his madness he spoke of a debt of honor that he had to pay that very day. Mme. Gay who had passed through all the dramas of passion, pitied his despair, because it was genuine. She dispatched shall I say it her latest lover to her daughter to beg her hasten and rescue a man overboard. Mme.

de Girardin hurried to Versailles without knowing exactly what she was about. The man knelt to her, but she could save neither his honor nor his reason; he wanted to fly with her, and she wished to remain Alme. de Girardin. When he saw that his prayers were in vain he killed himself in her presence. He did himself J'ustice by firing a pistol ball into his leart.

Mme. de Girardin fell on her knees and raised his hand, which remained handsome and lovely to the last. Then the door opened noisily and a man appeared; it was M. de Girardin. 'So you love him cried he to his wife.

She arose, dignified, proud grand. 'Yes, I love this man, but I have only loved him since he has AC'S LAST HOURS. The last hours of De Balzac were described to Houssaye by Eugene Giraud, the painter, whose story is now repeated. "The dying author, who was not seriously alarmed, because Mme. De Balzac possessed the art of deceiving him, wished, notwithstanding, to ask his medical adviser a few questions.

'My dear said he, 'I am not an ordinary man; I should not like death to take me surprise, and I still have much to do to complete my work. Tell me the whole thruth. How much longer do you think I can The doctor gave no answer. 'Come, doctor, do you think me a child? I tell you once more that I must not die like an indifferent person. A man like myself owes a will to the public' The word will loosened the physician's tongue.

If Balzac owed a will to the public perhaps one was due to his wife and family. 'My dear said he, how much time do you require for what remains to be 'Six replied Balzac, with the air of a man who has made a careful calculation. And he looked steadily at the Doctor. 'Six months! Six monthsl' observed the latter, shaking his head. exclaimed Balzac sorrowfully, 'I see you will not grant me six months.

Give me at least six weeks! Six weeks with a fever are an eternity. The hours are days. And the days are not lost The Doctor again shook his head. Balzac raised himself up, almost indignant. The Doctor had taken his patient's summons too seriously; he had decided to tell him the truth.

Balzac continued: 'If your conscience does not deceive you, do not deceive me. What can I hope for? You will surely accord me six The Doctor could say nothing; he turned aside to conceal his tears. 'Six repeated Balzac. 'Well, I shall point out broadly what I have to do in order to put on the finishing touches, and my friends will dot the i's. I shall have time to glance rapidly over my fifty volumes.

I will tear out the bad. and emphasize the good pages. The human will does miracles. God created the world in six days. I can give immortal life to the world I have created.

I shall rest on the seventh, day!" Then came a painful look and a still more painful sigh. Since Balzac began enumerating his terrible questions he had grown ten years older. He was voiceless and could not continue andressing the doctor, who was voiceless to answer him. 'My dear said the medical man at last, endeavoring to smile, 'who can promise a single hour here below? A man now in good health may die before you do. But you ask me to tell the truth; you spoke of a will that was due to the public' 'Well, the will to the public must be drawn up to-day.

Beside, you have perhaps another will to frame; you must not wait until Balzac raised his head. Then I have but six hours left me!" he cried out in terror. And he fell back on his pillow. The Doctor's last word was a death-blow. The dying agony of him whose name had been Balzac began.

He sought the truth; the truth killed him before his time." The Grant Trust Fund. A correspondent of the New York World writes: "Mr. Joseph W. Drex-el says that the $250,000 fund collected by George Jones for the Grant family is not lost, unless the Grant family are willing so to consider it. The laws of the state of New York provide that trust funds shall be invested in certain standard securities.

These securities are named in the statute. Any investment outside of this range named in the law is at the risk of the trustees. If the fund can not be collected back out of the Wabash property the Grant family can recover the money by suit against Mr. Jones, the Morgan estate and the third trustee. There is no doubt at all of their liability for the entire amount.

There is no point in the objection to bring suit against one of the principals who was instrumental in raising the fund. However meritorious his act was, he collected the money of other people for General Grant, and the investment of that money is one for which he should be held strictly liable." Dally Calendar.

K. Lnd Chicago. Teams will commence to-day hauling lumber from the depot to the city yards where it will be stored and used as It is wanted for repairing sidewalks, etc. There are now thirty-five car loads of excellent oak lumber on the cars waiting to be unloaded. A petition has been circulated which has been numerously signed by members of the bar, petitioning Judge Benson to adjourn the October term ol court, which convenes next Monday, until the 9th of November.

It is not known what action Judge Benson will take i regard to the matter. The street commissioner has made out a list of persons who have not paid poll tax for the present season in compliance with the notices which have been served on them. The jist is a long one and will be placed in the hands of the city attorney to-day. Persons knowing themselves to be in arrears in this matter will save expense by settling promptly. The latest in The Courier's affairs was the receiving yesterday by postmaster Shannon of instructions from the Postmaster General at Washington, recognizing J.

Sullivan as president of The Courier company entitling him to all the malls of The Courier and the departments recognizance as printing the paper, registered as "The Courier" a nd entitled to second class rates. Mis9 Louisa Johnson, a young lady nineteen years of age, died yesterday morning, after an illness of several months, at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Annie Johnson, Just north of the windmill. The deceased was a native of Sweden and has been in this country for a little over a year. The funeral will take place this afternoon at three o'clock from her late home.

Friends of the family are invited. The silly story that Senator Plumb is the owner of thousands of cattle on lands in the Indian territory hasagain been sent out on its travels by the Oklahoma chief and republished by the Wichita Beacon. It is worth no other notice than to brand it as a clear fiction born In the brain of its originators and circulated in the interest of Senator Plumb's enemies. The evident animus of tbe lie destroys any weight it might otherwise have had. Emporia iVems.

If parties cannot sell their property, they can sometimes make good trades. Judge Emery has Just completed an exchange of property with Prof. J. J. McBride, of Neosho Falls, trading some land near Oak Hill cemetery, city property, for a well-improved farm of 270 acres near Neosho Falls.

Both parties are well satisfied with the exchange-Bell Mcllravy, of 915 Massachusetts street, this city, were the agents for both parties. This firm is doing a rattling business both in exchange of real estate and in loaning money on real estate, giving very favorable terms to borrowers. If you wish to sell or exchange your property or borrow money, give this enterprising firm a call. It will be greatly to your advantage to do so. The many friends of Capt Oliver Barber in this city and vicinity will be pleased to learn that he had an operation performed on his eyes Tuesday by Dr.

Freyer, of Kansas City, which promises to be successful In restoring his sight. A cataract has been growing over one eye for stven or eight years. About three years ago the other eye began to be affected, but gave no serious trouble until a few months since, when it grew rapidly worse, until he became entirely blind, fiye weeks ago. The operation was quite painful, but was of short duration. Immediately after it was performed a watch was held before him, when he told the time of day without difficulty.

His eyes are bandaged now while he is kept in a room, but his attendants are very sanguine In regard to his eyesight- being restored. BARGAINS: GLEASOX WHITMAN, ELDRIDGE HOUSE CORNER.
