WELLINGTON NOTES

To the Editor of the Eagle:
Wellington is surely enjoying a very re-
spectacle sized boom this season, and steps
to the front smilingly with population of
more than eight thousand, which placeses it
next, in number OF inhabitants, to Wichita
among the many cities Of the great Arkan-
cas- valley The increase during the past
year has been over thousand, and with
this season Of comparative good crops,
the indications are that the city will grow
more than during any previous year.
Wellington now has the advantage Of q
good street car line, and within month or
two the city will be lighted With gas. These
Improvements, together with some twenty
or thirty new business houses which are
now under contract or being built, ought to
make it substantially the metropolis of the
southern tier of counties.
The number of new dwellings which are
in course of erection is indeed very large,
as the following partial list will prove: On
Harvey avenue there is the new Standard
block of six handsome two-story brick BUSH
ness rooms. built by Messrs. Smith &
White, A. Graf. Myron Hunt, J. Skeand-
rift, Fisher & Quinn, and the Standard
Printing company. The State National
bank will also have new three-story brick,
with q frontage Of fifty feet, commencing on
Washington avenue and Lincoln street.
Messrs. Cole, Robson & Elliott will build
three fine business rooms on the corner Of
Washington avenue. Then comes the new
postofIice block on Harvey avenue, which is
nearly completed, and will be occupied
about July 1.
Four large brick stores will also be
erected on North Washington avenue, by
Messrs Smith, Merrill & Spieknsl, and two
brick buildings on Lincoln street, by Mr..
Davidson. And this is not all.
Besides these improvements there has
been three new additions recently plated,
namely. the WoodlAwn, Paramount, and the
old Wellington nursery, containing in all
400 acres. Fifty thousand dollars was paid
for these new additions, and the lots are al
ready in very good demand.
The citizens are also advocating public
park, and it is thought that Its location and
establishment Is q sure 60. RUsTLER-

An Amicable Arrangement.

There is usually some amlcable method
of settling troublesome disputes, even if it
be the old resort of drawing lots, though
unfortunately too many of us prefer to
argue, or even wrangle, about the matter
in hand. The Japanese are not so foolish.
SAYS the author of "a Sketch of Korea"
As soon as the traveller has set foot in
Japan, and safely passed through the
ordeal of the custom house, he will need
something in which to carry himself and
his baggage He had been told that Il
iinrikisha, or large baby-carriage, drawn
bv man, is the vehicle in common use,
and seeing some such conveyances stand
inc idle he calls for one of them.
A score respond to his call, hurrying
toward him 50 quickly as to suggest a
rush of autumn leaves, started by II sud-
den Gust of wind from the quiet corner in
which they lay. In a twinkllng they are
all about him, and the shafts have fallen
at his feet.
As he is only one, and his baggage is
limited, he cannot use them all; ne
therefore prepares to make choice. lie
turns his attention for an instant to his
traps, to Judge what he shall need, and
on turning back again, behold! the men
have all vanished and he finds himself
the center of mute but approximations
inc circle of baby-carriages, their shafts
ali pointed toward him, as If In an attl-
tude of entreaty.
He wonders what can so suddenly have
happened to the men, until his eyes at
last light upon them in group at the
corner of the square. After some watch
inc, he becomes conscious that not a
quarrel, but settlement, is going on.
The coolies are actually drawing lots for
the privilege of carrying him.
One man in the center holds the slips,
each man selects his own, and all abide
in the best possible humor by the result.

For more than thirty-tive years pre-
ceding the establishment OF the weather
bureau by the government Isaac Iocum,
of Paschalvillc, was the recognized
weather prophet for the people Of Della
ware county. If the breaSt-bone of the
goose, the hogs melt, the ground hog and
other well established weather signs cor
respond with Isaac Yocum's predictions,
we'll and good; if not, they were Mt fault
that year and everybody SO understood
it. Mr.. Yocum was gathered to his
fathers soon after the establishment of
the weather bureau department." but
were he living to-day he would say in his
iocular way: ''Every snow this winter
will be a rain" Weather Scion YOcum
was butcher, and one of his theories re
specting the weather was the set OF the
wind at the turn of the seasons. If, for
instance, during the season of the fall
equinox-say from September Is to the
22d-the wind was generally in the east,
shifting southwark and finally clearing
up by shifting around to southwest, then
to northwest, Mr.. Yocum would make
contract at a very low figure to pasture
cattle on the Hog Island pasture
lands until about the goth of December.
He would take run through Delaware
county, purchase Il large number of thin
cattle at low prices and would invariably
have three months of warm weather and
the best of pasture for his cattle, which
he would fatten and sell at high prices
During the winter solstice, along about
the Goth of December of 1885, the wind
hung around the southeast aud finally
veered to northwestward and back again
