Put A Little Library In Your Life—
Spring Cleaning for Book Sale
Dear ReaderAs I walked down
Merchant Street last week,
heading from the Post Office to the Gazette, I came
upon a woman carrying
a bag of books. Not just a
bag with one or two books
in it, but a Solid Bag of
Books. Perhaps the mild
weather made conversation
between strangers more
natural, because I asked her
whether she’d come from
the library. No, she said,
she was heading there to
drop off the books for the
sale. And judging from the
carts of donations lining
up behind the staff entrance, this isn’t an isolated
incident.
The trend to springclean has taken hold, with
closets being organized
and old belongings showing up at the curb without
the courtesy of a yard sale.
Book lovers alike are revisiting their shelves, waking
the dormant sections and
stirring the familiar realms
with an eye to expanding,
or just thinning, their load.

Lyon County Historical Facts
Provided by Lyon County Historical Society
The 24th of December, 1891, was a perfect winter day for the solemn duty of
committing to earth the mortal remains of Senator Preston Plumb. Men who had
crossed the prairies with Plumb to fight for freedom in Kansas mixed with men
who had hauled his printing presses across the Missouri River down to Emporia. Men and women who had followed him to the frontier to build this new city
rubbed shoulders with others who had settled far out on farms because of their
faith in his dream for the future of Kansas. Women who had sewn the flag that they
put in his charge when he went to do battle to preserve the Union wept quietly. All
of these had seen him develop and had aided in his elevation to a national figure
who challenged the powers of oppression and stood with the downtrodden. Kansas
and the country had lost a great man.
Over time, Neosho Rapids has had four churches welcoming members to worship. The first church, a Baptist church sometimes called just “The Little Church,”
contained the bell that now stands behind the Community Center. The bell was
hauled across the prairie before being hoisted into its steeple. Over the years, the
church deteriorated, but in 1904 the steeple was rebuilt and repaired. In 1910, it was
painted. A Free Methodist Church, a Catholic Church, and a Methodist Protestant Church all served the community. Today, only the Neosho Rapids Memorial
United Methodist Church remains in town. It counts its history as stretching back
to those early days when small groups met under elm groves along the Neosho
River.

Treasures
By Helaine Fendelman
Joe Rosson
and
Tribune News Service
Dear Helaine and
Joe:
I inherited this beautifully painted 11-inchtall porcelain vase and
would like to know its
origins. The base is
marked in blue with a
crown above the backto-back initials "JK" and
below that "Dresden."
I believe "Germany" is
written below. I cannot
make out any markings
in the gold stamp, but
the incised marking
appears to read "(ASTERISK)8/4 CV." The
word "Chrysanthemum"
is written around the
edge. Can you help?
Thank you,
A. B.
Dear A. B.
Before we begin, we
want to thank you for
giving us such complete
information about this
spectacular late 19th or
early 20th century vase.
This story really
begins with Augustus
the Strong (1670-1733,
aka the "Saxon Hercules"), elector of Saxony
and king of Poland. The
king, who reveled in
his physical strength,
almost bankrupted the
various kingdoms and
provinces under his
control with his obsessive buying of Asian
porcelain.
There is one story
that he traded a company of soldiers for one
Japanese Imari vase.
Enter Johann Frederich
Bottger, an alchemist
who was fleeing the
king of Prussia because
he had failed to turn
base metal into gold.
Augustus essentially intercepted him, imprisoned him and charged
him with the task of
creating gold.
Of course, Bottger
failed once again, but
he did promise to do
something that no European had yet accomplished _ make Chi-
nese-style hard-paste
porcelain. In those days,
that was essentially the
same as making gold,
and in 1709, with the
assistance of Ehrenfried
Walther von Tschirnhaus, Bottger succeeded
in making hard-paste
porcelain.
This feat was ac-
complished in Dresden,
the capital of Saxony,
but for security reasons, Augustus had
the production of the
new material moved 14
miles down the road
to his castle at Meissen. Meissen porcelain
is treasured today, and
porcelain was never
again made in Dresden
(but it was decorated
there).
The lovely piece in
today's question was
decorated by Richard
Klemm (the mark is
a back-to-back "RK,"
not "JK"), whose firm
