for the purpose. Our citizens regret to
lose Mr.. Siebert as business man Of the
town.
The druggist Of Wamego, Kansas,
failed to put in an appearance on the day
he promised, and now the rumor is that
q Wa-Keeney firm win open q branch
store here. Whoever it be, let them fully
understand that our people would well
come drug store, but the opinion is
strong against having q saloon locate
among us under that name. Rattle
snakes are not so numerous as to need
liquor within easy purchasing distance,
and other complaints yield readily to
the effects of more reputable drugs.
Fridays stormy hours passed ere sum
set, and pleasant evening was propi
tlous to the success of the w. r. G. party.
CONTRARY to the usual practice, only those
holding tickets were allowed to enter the
hall, and, In consequence, the room which
has so often been occupied by spectators
was left to those who wished to enjoy the
dancing. Supper was served in the
building south of the hotel, a room in
which was rented for the occasion. Ow-
ing to this being such a busy season of the
year, the attendance was not quite as
large as heretofore, but was pronounced
an enjoyable and well-conducted affair
by all present.
Successful far beyond the expectations
of its friends, was the meeting last Sun
day to organize Union Sabbath school.
The seating capacity Of the school house
was well filled, and the enthusiasm catch
ing. Officers for the next six months
were elected as follows: Superintendent,
r. S. Brown; Asst Supt, Miss G. T. Stick
ney; Secretary, F. G. Bower; Treasurer,
Miss L. Norton; Librarian, Miss A.
Smith; Chorister, Walter Bruner. A col
lection was taken up and a sufficient
amount raised to secure necessary sup
plies for the work. Supt. Brown comes
to our Sunday school work highly recon-
mended, and those who witnessed his en-
thusiasm last Sunday feel confident that
he will make a success of the school.
Mr.. Burners experience as a musician
has been in both choir and band, so good
music is assured. Now let the discour-
aged workers in the cause come and enjoy
the blessings, while others bear the bur
dens. Sunday school every Sunday morn

school next Sunday, Mr.. Elliott, of the
Saline district, will lead a prayer meeting,
to which all are invited. Gospel HYMNS

A day ever to be remembered by the la
dies of Collyer Relief Corps, No. AZ, was
Tuesday, May Is. As announced last
week, special meeting had been called
to receive the Department President,
Mrs. NJ. r. Wickins, of Sabetha, Kans.
Mrs. Prest. Martin and Senior Vice, Mrs.
York, met Mrs. Wickins at the depot at
noon and escorted her to the home of the
secretary, Miss Stickney, for short rest
At o'clock all repaired to the Post and
Corps hall. The opening of the meeting
found but four of the entire membership
OF the Corps absent Three hours were
spent in most enjoyable business man
ner, the highly valuable instructions
given by Mrs. Wickins making the hou,s
pass all too speedily. At the close of tie
session, the corps rendered Mrs Wilkins
an informal reception at the Secretary's,
every minute of the time being thorough
ly enjoyed. AS this is the first visitation
Collyer Corps has had from department
officers, Mrs. Wilkins compliments are
treasured by all. While the members
have always been loyal subjects to de-
partment authority, in the future loyalty
and love combined will make service even
more pleasant. With Mrs. Volk, at the
last department convention. we will fer
vently iterate: .''God bless our new De-
partment President" Mrs. Wickins was
entertained for the night by Tfrs. York,
who also accompanied her to Wa-Keeney
this morning.
