The Literary Club Tuesday night di cussed the topic of tbo relative evils of war and intemperance, (pute an array of facts and figures being presented on each side. O. B. Wharton and vv. Cordley discussed the evils of war, while the guttering caused by intemperance was iortraycd by Rev.

After the transaction of miscellaneous business the club adjourn ed to meet on Tuesday evening next. Thanks.

Friday evening last the old neighbors of sheriff Moon from Lakeside, came down upon him strong and surprised the house. They took possession of the front part of the lower story of the court house, used as a residence by the sheriff, und had a good time. The sheriff was away and Mrs. Moon did the honors.

The only thing Jake regrets is that he missed the grand opportunity to fill up with good victuals, of which there waa the greatest profusion. The folks out there know how to do things, aud the party was a complete success. A flre occurred about 7:30 p. Mod day at the residence of Rev. Mr.

Clark, which, had it not been checked, might have been a serious one. It was discov ered by Willi VauDyke, Mr. Clark's nephew. While In an upstairs room he noticed smoke coming from the room adjoining, and going in found a large pine box in which bedding was stowed on fire and blazing up several feet. He threw a blanket on the flames, and call ing the rest of the family they soon brought the fire under control, but not un til considerable of the betiding was dam aged.

A newspaper was 6pread over the top of the box and a box of matches was lying on it, but how they became ignited It is impossible to tell, unless it was by the help of a mouse that had not ret re- rtwiTcd from the chill of winter. It is fortunate the fire was discovered when it was, as in a few minutes longer it would nave been impossible to check it. THK KNIGHTS TEMPLAR PARTY. The Finest Mortal Kntertainiuent Etm Given Here. The Hecoratlous.

the Attendant and Toilet. The Emporia Commanderyof Knights Templar have given several fine social parties here, but Friday night, on the occasion of their fourth anniversary, they eclipsed all former efforts. It was In many the most elegant party ever given her. Each Knight, as well as every friend of the organization, seemed to vie with each other to make this the social triumph. There were gathered a large assembly of handsomely dressed, graceful and fine looking ladies, and gallant gentlemen.

They began to assemble at the hall at half past eight, aud by ten o'clock it was comfortably filled. There were just enough people present dur-ng tho evening for comfort, a feature of the party that was admirably planned. THK HAM. The members of the decorating committee spared no pains to carry out their part of the arrangements in a manner that would do credit to themselves and lie worthy of the occasion and in harmony with the completeness of the other details. As a ground-work, the floor was made of snowy whiteness, perfectly smooth and free from any chance for dust, by a carpet of white canvas.

Around the top of the walls, nett the ceiling, was a wid relief borderof blneand red. The strife, with the best scene for a background, was profusely dx.orated. Over it was tlie inscription: "Emporia Coru-tnandary Xo. 8, Kntghts Templar 4th Anniversary." Lnder this the words, "Welcome to All." Below this hung a large triangle of cedar and 'a picture ot a syinlrfd of the order, with its cabalistic letters. In the center of the room was a large green cross.

The chandeliers were displayed with flags upon which were the word: "Sir Knisrhts, we greet vou." and with decorations. From ir. extended to the corners of the hall long festoons of evergreen. Ou the north side, of the room were the words: "Valiant and Mag nanimous." This was flanked bv ever green wreaths aud under was a fine portrait of Oeorge Washington, to celebrate whose birth-dav the party was given. I'o the right of Washington hung a picture of Lincoln, and to the left one of Grant.

Along the side were other hand some pictures, wreaths unit emblems. At the west end was the motto, "In hoc smno vi noes, ana oilier pictures ana wreaths. The south side was elabor ately decorated, also. There was a pro- fusion of cedar, flags, niottos, and pic tures everywhere, the whole combining to make a brilliant seeua to which life was added by the grace, beauty and gal lantry la attendance. lit MUSIC.

While the people were wailing for the appearance of the Knights they were delightfully entertained by music from Gardner's Topeka Orchestra of seven pieces. They first played the "Inaugural march," by Muller, aud "Stradella" by Floton, followed by a serenade, "Violin and eiairouet obligatu." The mus ic throughout the evening was a most delightful feature of the entertainment. THK K.NfUHTS ENTERED under command of Sir Knight J. Jay Buck, presenting a very tine appearance. There were about twenty-fivu of them in full uniform.

After brief sword exer cises they were inspected by Sir Knights J. C. Bennett and L. D. Jacobs.

Then further and interesting drill took place under charge of the last named gentle man. Thev were then ordered to break ranks aud were joined by ladles for the trrand promeuade. Alter this am: dasck licgau, and was kept up until an early hour this morning- It was tho remark of all that in this respect the party was the most agreeable one ever given here.

in. It is decriled as an elegaut affair, and every want of the appetite was provided forfcy Mr. In ness. frightful Aerldent. A serious and painful accident occurred between two and three o'clock Monday to James Patterson, yard master on the S.

he being so se-verely injured as to probably necessitate the amputation of his leg. Mr. Patterson was on the top of a car b' ing run by the switch engine on to the side-track next to Dr. Armor's building. As the car came in contact with one already standing there, he in some way lost his balauce and fell them, vainly striving to recover himself by catching hold of the brake-rod.

In trying to ex-tricate himself from his position his foot was caught under the wheel of one of the cars, which running over It mashed it terribly, producing a cqbi-pound fracture just above the ankle. He called for help, and several persons rushed to the scene. He hail pulled off his boot, and he was carried over to the Windsor Hotel, where JJr. Jacobs was called and examined his injuries. He was then taken to his Koine which is in the southeast part of town, near the railroad track.

The wounded man bore up under the pain heroically, remarking when speaking of iho number of the car 1159 that "he should remember that as long as he lived." The doctor pronounced it almost impossible to save his leg, and, as just stated, its amputation will probably be necessary. Mr. Patterson's family consists of a wife aud child, to whom, as well as to himself, the sympathy of the community i extended. Latkb. Mr.

Patterson's leg was amputated Monday night, Drs. Jacobs and Hibben jterforming the operation. The patient' is doiug well. As spring approaches there should aud will be no doubt, an interest awak ened in the study 'of iHitany Ii our schools, and the study of flowers by the children should be encouraged by all teachers. We have just received a copy of "Four weeks in Botanv," which was prepared and published last summer for the use of our county Normal institutes.

This compact and well arranged little treatise is recommended to teachers as an excellent guide for a short course on this subject. The author Is Ansel Grid-ley, Jr. of Oxford, Kansas, a former Eraporian and graduate of our State Normal. The newest thing In town Is California smoked salmon at fbomas Joues'.

The Cow Ordinance. flje weather is likely to warm up to business ere long, and we trust the cow question will keep cool. We published a communication for the cow side of the question Saturday, which breathed dire vengence on the devoted heads of the members of the cily council, and threat eued them with retirement to the walks of private lile unless they "take it back," also intimating that even his or her temperance principles were thrown in lavor of the liberty of the innocent cow. He or she would see the streets run wish whiskey for free cows, and trie cow ordinance au out rage. Monday a second warder came to the rescue for the female bovlnes, not quite so fiercely as Saturday's correspondent it is true, but with no uncertain sound We regret that tlie author casts a slur on our excellent milk men.

These folks must not forget that there are two sides to this question, and that there are those, not rich and not the "favored few," and who also have cows, and have passed as people of average Intelligence, who believe the passage of the cow ordinance ia the most sensible thing the city council has done for many a long day. Now we suppose no one who is fit for the office: of council is going to be frightened much by threats that they cant get the cow Totes for office. So far as our observation goes the office is not one to be greatly desired Brash" talk had better be supplemented by reason. We wonder what the pre, tended friends of the cow would do they had happened to cast their lots in Lawrence, or Topeka, or "Wichita, or Eldorado. In these even so dear an ob ject of this world's attractions as a cow la not permitted to "brouae" off the public, to destroy trees, to tear down fences, eto eat up gardens, aud tramp the sidewalks to pieces.

to We believe in cows, but we believe those who desire to see our city rendered attractive ant desirable and beautiful have some rights which we are bound to respect Cows are a good thing to have around, but stm.U lined with trees, the songs of birds, and blue-grass swards along the sidewalks are also. In Emporia we have sweltered In the hot sun for twenty-one years, without the grateful shade of a tree to protect from the sun simply to accommodate a false sent! ment in relation to the running at large of stock. Thousands and thousands of dollars have been wasted on trees and sidewalks. Why put the whole Deonle. poor as well as others, to the expense of fencing in trees, when a few dollars and a half day's work will provide suitable quarters for keeping up cows? Empo.

ria is the exception in this matter. Wichita, one-third as old as Emporia, baa ten trees to our one. We believe it a sin to have a cow and not protect her anyhow. Irrespective of the cow ordi nance. During tlie summer the cow can be herded, by clubbing together, with less trouble and expense than they can be cared for by letting them run at large.

Where herding has been tried they prefer it to running at large. The fact is Emporia is 25 years behind the times in this matter, and it is time we changed our programme.

Editors News: My little note in yourpaperof the 14th has had the desired effect of showing to the public who the culprits are in the "Conover's seedling" grape and other frauds upon this community; but that they should openly boast of it, is a little more cheeky than was anticipated.

An- further comunication upon the subject at this time would not be necessary, were It not that the parties writing in your issue of the 21st, instead of attempting to answer or refute the accusations made in my note above referred to, have gone to a good deal of trouble to throw dirt at me, and indulge in a good deal of low dirty slang, intending to In jure me thereby. It is but justice to my friends and customers that I correct a few of the libelous statements therein made. I glad the (I was going to write gentleman, but I am of the opinion that the name would be misapplied), have had the condescension to allow me a little "standing and acquaintance," in ti face of all my short-comings in this community. The remark of yours in the adjacent -ol run of your paper in which their letter appeared, that "a man can hardly expect to escape criticism and complaint who is active in any business, public or pri- aie, is appropriate to tlie subject under onsideration. Of the "Hill Home nurseries," Tad- more, Ohio, I know nothing, except in directly, that Mr.

X. Albaugh is a man ho stands well in his circle of business acquaintances, and that he has agents professing to represent him who have been reported as doing the kind of busi ness reported in my article which has excited their wrath, as shown by their rade against me in your paper of last week, of whom Mr. M. B. Bateham, secretary of the Ohio state horticultural society, under date of Feb.

5, 1879, writes to a friend of mine "I know nothing of the men, only that ke some other parties of that region. they are in a $vtpiciou kind of business at the west selling- what are called 'fan cy most of which have no exis tence in tact, as nave no doubt is the case with the 'Conover's as none by that name is known to the legitimate trade. The name as you know, belongs to an asparagus. I never before heard of its being applied to a grape. I should not hesitate to say it is a fraud or humbug.

Tell your people to shun these lancy delaers." Thev say, "Does Mr. M. know anything of Conover's seedling grape" I answer no; nor do over thirty ot tho most exten sive nurserymen in the Lnlteu states know anything more of it than the ven erable secretary of the Ohio society quot ed above. I pronounce it a humbug of the nrst water. As to the 'hot-house and nears raised on 'three-year-old I simply ask the farmers of the county whether le statement is iaise or true.

As to the fact that these things have been offered and the people almost co erced into buying, there is a cloud of witnesses who have testified; but as to what the value of these will be in the three, live or ten years that elapse before the truit is produced, no one knows, and the astute agents of II. II. nursery will have collected their bills and gone to other fields and pastures new," far out of the reach of their poor victims in Ly on county. Kegarding the high prices they assert that they are "no higher than good stock can be furnished." Now, I leave it to the intelligent readers of the News if near trees costing to $25 per 1UU are not a little steep at $1 each; and apples. which Mr.

nallberg of this place would supply at $15 per 100, and dig them under vour own eve, are not a uttie bit, at least, liitrh at $25. when kept out of the ground long enough to come from Ohio to Em- iKirin, and other things in proportion, to say nothing of the attempt to palm off oogus or worm less stun at ten times uie value of good articles. They attempt to make a ioint out of the circumstance ot my selling peach trees at "owe (toller each." Now, here ia a point on which I wish to be properly understood. The lirst time a new article of great value or promise of value is offered.it is usually at a price much higher than an ordinary article can be procured for. More especially is this the case in new-fruits, flowers, and 6uch like products.

But the article must at least give promise of value. Now. the difference in my transaction and theirs is, that I sold at the lowest price the same could be got for anywhere in the world, while I coin plain ed that they sell at trom 50 to 100 per cent, above the inamet price in tnis place for the same kind of goods, and by de ception and misrepresentation induce rwknnln fit lmir thnir wt rkf L- 5o much tor the general sumect oi va rieties, prices, etc. The remainder of the harangue concerns me jiersonally, and will be considered. Thev refer to the "Steadly" peach, and show, I presume, to their own satisfac tion, that the trees were "some common, sour, worthless trutt, no larger than a hulled walnut." I sold tlie bteadly peach a peach which is quoted in thousands or catalogues as "one of the best late free stone peaches in the country" tor the originator, and at that time the only propagator, from a specimen of the fruit sent to me to 6bow the character of the fruit.

The gentleman who sent me the fruit and trees is a man whose character the writers of this scandalous article can not gainsay, a man having a national rep utation and Known trom the lakes to the gulf as one of our foremost and most care ful propagaters none other than Samuel Miller, originator of Martha, Black hawk, and other grapes. Captain Jack Springdale, and other strawberries, and wno would scorn to perpetrate such fraud as intimated bv these parties. I pronounce this u. W. bite 6tory a bare fabrication.

True, Mr. White, w'ho is a personal friend of mine, bought a couple of the trees, and if any of the readers of the News desire to know the estimate he places upon the peaches. they have but to call upon Dr. landy, at the drug store opposite the poetomce, who assisted in sampling and discussing the merits of a half-dozen beautiful spec imens which dir. W.

brought in last tall and leu in bis care tor me. 1 learned uirouKU a rouuu aooui way, mat, in ia one peach was found on an inside, weak shoot on one ot his trees, which, owing ,11.1 i its position, uiu ii ui sou jir vs. was disappointed; but 1 never dreamed that be found fault with me for the failure of that specimen to ripen. learned that the little limb and au dried on before the end of the season, and of course a peocn 09 it wnose season is uct lutn, would tie lost. Uu hearing of this I wrote to Mr.

Miller stating what I had heard, and received instructions prompt ly to instruct all persons who had bought of those trees and were dissatisfied to draw on him for the amount paid and be would refund. Ibis I presented to Mr. White and others, but have had no in structions to draw for the money yet. Thus falsehood one disappears. Mr, Spencer a year ago ordered ot me a or trees 01 a particular sue and kind, to fill up the vacancies in his orchard.

where trees had been killed, and in put. ting tip the trees at the nursery they sent two years old trees, which was not the kind, and of course Mr. a. did not take them, nor was be asked to. ibis matter 01 J.

A. young 1 can hardly understand. I am "a contractor or tree speculator," and by inference do not represent any responsible nursery or propagator, and yet 3Ir. Young "rep resented the same nursery that Air. Mil- liken is now selling for' and more of the same kind, and that Mr.

Young bad some bad stock left on his hands at Wichita. To the first charge I plead guilty, as buv a part of my trees, others I nrooa- gate. But as a sample of the veracity of my assailants, i win only call attention to the fact that I represent no nursery. and that Mr. Young never shipped a tree to Wichita in his life.

The most contemptible, sneaking thing in the whole article is the Insinuation, tktv dare not taw it 'evadv that I scat tered worthless varieties of strawberries for the Wilson's Albany at an enormous price, and wild roses for Baltimore Bell and Queen of the Prairie. Now of all things, the ability and the determination to let nothing that I did not feel per fectly sure waa true to name," go out of my-nana naa been -one or the leading rules In my business. What connection Mr. "Aaron Miller baa with this I can not understand. Mr.

Miller is one of my friends and customers, or was a customer last vear. but I think never bought any roses of me, nor do I recollect of him ever getting strawberries. I have sold budded roses since I have done business in Emporia, also budded peaches, pears and cherries, and if the buyers have allowed the budded part to die 'and the stock to grow, they need not accuse me of fraud if the stock does not prove as choice as the bud would have done. suspect this is what this insinuation re garding tlie "wild roses" is made up From. I am under last in obligations to the writers of this article for their sage and unselfish advice, but like the boy when kicked by the jackass, I consider where it comes 'from, and I fear I will not be able to benefit much by it.

I w-as not aware that carrying a plate book was a crime. Of course these high-toned men from Ohio do not have plate books or samples, but trust to the good judgment and knowledge of the parties to whom they sell. in several places in their rsmarkaule article they assume that I am an igno ramus in grapes and other fruits, and that a majority of the farmers and others who have lieenduiK-d by their tine yarns. are "fully as well versed in horticulture as j'ourself." Allow me to remark that make some pretensions to a knowledge of horticulture. I did not serve two years in the employ of the Blnffton wine company, of Central with Oeorge 1 nussman as presiueni anu namuei miller, heretofore referred to, as superintendent, a part of the time as assistant superintendent of the vineyard department, without 'acquiring a little knowledge of grape culture.

Besides I have grown and truited Jorty-two varieties in Lvon county, and have been one of the closest of students of horticultural literature, trying to keep mvself thoroughly I -1 1 1 1 i puaieu iu an tue nraucues 01 me ousi- ness. It would be ridiculous to discuss this matter farther. Even this much would not be necessary were it not that many who wjll read this are not personally acquainted with me. These men assure us with ail the gravity ot a mock-auction dealer, that they intend to deal squarely and honestly, but so did another party who came from the same part 01 vuio some seven or eight years ago, headed by one Dust, who victimized our people to the tune of thousands of dollars for stock, little of which grew, and most of that which did grow is far from being true to name, and so do all these laney dealers" troin the east, who tro for the western fanners. I don't see that the case is made any better by reading that they, by "glancing at the descrip tive catalogue ot a tirst-class nursery.

can see that the following varieties ot fruits can be furnished true to name by responsible parties." enumerating a large number of each. I have a catalogue of nursery at Orleans, ranee, which en umerates ten times as many as thev note, and 1 have not the least doubt that all can be furnished true to name, the general accidents incident to the business alone excepted, but what assurance will that give us that these Ohio parties will furnish one article as promised, or that one in a thousand ot the varieties enumerated in this French catalogue are of any more value in the climate of Kansas than the tree roses, Kilmarnock willows, and other trash so often sold by eastern agents, valuable in France or the moist climate of southern England, but of no earthly use in Kansas, only to disappoint those who plant them. In conclusion, I would repeat that the main question remains unanswered and unrefuted, and I trust that the attempt to snow me under with a lot of falshoods has not had the effect of stopping the planting 01 a single tree this spring. ltespectlully, Robert Miixiki n.

A young Frenchman who lives about three miles northwest of Reading, tried to commit suicide one day lat week He and his father had a quarrel, and the boy thought he would have revenge, and went out to the yard and placed the mouth of his revolver to his breast and fired. The father heard the report of the pistol, went with due haste to the spot and tlie boy was lying on his face evidently in the greatest pain and gasping for dear life. With the assistance of the herdsman he carried the lad to the house and sent for Dr. Roup. The doctor came at once, and after examination the ball rolled from the bov's clothes on the floor.

If you want to buy any real estate, come to our office, and we will be glad to see and talk with you. Titlea. We want to say just this about the very important matter of titles. It Ls our business to see that every man who buys through us gets a perfectly good title. We attend to that, every time, and all who buy through us get good titles.

On the other hand, it is none of our business whether or not a man gets a good title, if he does not buy through us. There are other real estate agents here whom we consider perfectly reliable and responsi ble. The business way to buy land is to go to the office of a responsible agent, who attends strictly to his own business. Sheriff Moon now has twenty-one boarders at his county hotel.

By experience I know it is a very pleas ant thing indeed to have the cows come up on the sidewalk and break out boards then have the street commissioner come along and put them in and we who own no cows settle the bill. Then, when farmers conje to town and place groceries and merchandise in their wagons, preparatory to starting home, I should think 'twould give them a remarkably happy frame of mind to have a cow stretch her head over and make a meal off of the provisions, and also probably tho dinner brought along for their horses. Yet such things have frequently occurred in our streets, and are occurring every day. Well, I have been buying milk from the milk men for several years, and don't believe I ever got anything but the genuine article. I have been living in Emporia for ten years, and during that time have been untiring in my efforts at starting street trees, and yet without success.

I am often asked by strangers why we don't have trees along our streets. I tell them the cows break them down. The next question invariably is, "Why don't you have an ordinance to prohibit them from running at large Now we have the ordinance and the way is opened by which our streets may be beautified and adorned. Our councilmen are all honorable men, who stand high in community, and also are among the best business men, and I am glad to believe they have sufficient stamina not to lie frightened by such non sense as the "Second Warder" dealt us yesterday. Now, let us stand by our council, as 1 believe they will stand by this just ordi nance.
