DUBLIN.

! The Fire Brigades' Association OF
Great Britain met in Dublin on Satur-
day, August Is. A large number OF
representatives attended from different
parts Of the United Kingdom, but the
muster was not SO general as WAS an
ticipated.
The news from Dundalk Jail is alarm
ing in the last degree. According to
one who has seen him, John Dillon bas
''lost considerably in weight, he is Wis
IDLY weaker, his eyes appear greatly
sunken, and the continued wet weather
has had very depressing and iDj furious
effect upon him. It Is hard to think
calmly on all that this message imports.
John Dil!on's delicate frame sinking
under the ordeal that proved 700 much

villeI John Dillon, the darling Of the
Irish people, with his active brain and
his sensitive nerves, sinking and suffer.
ing through those long, long days and
nights, without freedom, without visits
Of friends, without books, without pen
or paper--suffering as it is possible for
no criminal OF limited intellect and
rugged fibre to suffer! John Dillon's
life in danger! The thought is intoler,
able, and before it burns with too Wild
an impulse into the hearts of the Irish
people, Mr.. Balfour, John Di.lon's
jailer, had better see to it.
We will put the matter plainly to Mi.
Balfour. He holds John Dillon's life
between hiS hands. He is the Prisons
Board. He KEEPS his finger on the pnlse
of every prisoner put up under his Co
sicion Act whom he deems to be of con.
sequence. To him every difficulty must
he referred, from the question of strip
ping a priest Of his cassock to the sen
fencing amember of Parliament bread
and water. His responsibility in this re
spect is no longer denied. He has ad
mitteG it himself again. In turning to
him as responsible for every hour of
Mr.. Dillon's prison life we are address
ing the right man We say to him,
then, this. Ii the account published in
Tuesdays freeman OF Mr.. billions con-
dition be true, every hour longer MI
Dillon is kept in prison is violation OF
the spirit and letter OF the prison rules,
as they are understood in England, and
as they ought to be understood in Ire
land. II Mr.. Balfour did not know
this fact before he knows it now, and
if Mr.. DillOns condition be as de-
scribed, and if Mr.. Balfour persists in
refusing to release him, We shall charge
him with deliberately violating the in.
tentions Of the prison rules for the pur-
pose of comprising MIR. Dillon's physi-
cal destruction. United Ireland.

There is very bad harvest outlook
in thus county, and how the farmers can
really tide over their difficulty is hard
to see The very worst accounts ara TO
hand from all the districts as to the
hay crop, the most part Of which lies
rotting. The yield was very good, but
the recent heavy rains have destroyed
the bulk of the crop. and farmers are
contemplating The result with dismay.
Potatoes in quality and quantity are
bad, and the blight is already appear
ing to an alarming extent in the dis
tricts. Turaips--largely grown III this
county-will yield less than the aver
ago except On light, warm lands and in
good soil. The same observation ap-
plies to mangolds- Oats look at pres
ent good heavy crop as far as growth
is concerned, but as far behind for
want of heat and a short spell ct dry
weather. Barley also wants plenty OF
sun in order to bring to maturity What
promised before the wet weather set in
to be a very remunerative crop. Wheat
is little grown in this county and re-
quires no comment. On the whole the
prospect is disheart ming, and feeling
of despondency is prevalent amongst
the farmers of this not too well.favored
district.

Routed by q Water Spout.

Through DR.. Upshaw, we learn that a
Trego county family met quite mis-
hap Saturday night. Isaac Younkin,
wife and child live about twelve miles
south of Wa-Keeney. Recently Mr..
Younkin has been at work near Colby on
the project railroad through the tier of
counties just to the north of us. Last
Saturday night water spout sent its del
uge through the draw in which he with
his wife and child, was encamped. The
wagon and, in fact, everything but their
night clothes, were swept away. The
most of the wagon was found afterwards.
Sixteen wagons, all told, were swept
down the draw, and two mules were
drowned. A freshet which will drown a
mule, if the animal has any chance at all
for its life, will do to remember for its Sc
verify.

ADAIR ADVICES.

ADAIR, TREGo Co., May %.
W. A. Eppler has recovered his stray
horse.
Sam Beard smiles on his Adair friends
occasionally.
Frank Eaton has traded mare and
colt to Chris. Hook for cattle.
Hiram and Luther Griffith are working
with teams on the railroad at Cresson.
To Judge from recent events, one would
not think that we were living in state
with prohibitory liquor laws
A dance at F. P. Clark's, Thursday
evening, was well attended. Professors
Beard and Hughes furnished the inspira-
ton, and a right good time was had. A
number of Ellis people were out.
We noticed several at the dance the
other night that gazed sorrowfully around
as though they missed familiar face,
but the joyousness of the occasion was an
average, we should judge by the way
others were wrapped up in one another.
Grading outfits are passing every day
on the road from Ellis to CressoD to work
at the latter place. The first caravan
contained two hundred and fifty teams
and nearly as many men, with their fami-
lies, and since then dozen wagons to-
gether on the way are no uncommon
sight.
The foundation for 18's school house
was laid last week. This work was do
mated by the citizens of the district, as is
also the lumber hauling. The contractor
expects to begin operations by the time
this is published; so We suppose the ma
jority of the district will soon be on the
road, hauling.

MEMORIAL DAY.
Collyer, as Usual. Observes It with
Appropriate Ceremonies.

| To the Editor of the Western Kansas World:
This being the day set apart by all
loyal people of this great republic for
memorial services to the fallen braves
who SO nobly laid down their lives in the
great rebellion of 1861 to 1865, Collyer
Post No. 107, G. A. R., assembled at their
hall, not only to comply with the order,
but to express their own feelings of graf
itude to the fallen heroes who sleep. To
see the few living veterans assemble after
SO many intervening years, and do honor
to those who are peacefully slumbering,
by strewing their graves with beautiful
and select flowers, as was done here this
day, must certainly impress the minds of
the young and rising generation with a
truly loyal and patriotic feeling. The
ties of loyalty cement more strongly and
more strongly in the hearts of these vet
Grams as the years roll by, for it is they,
and they only, who know the many long,
weary marches, the cold nights on picket
and the many hardships that these fallen
heroes have endured during the conflict
that is just past; and the remaining few
have this day Assem- bled to show that,
though their comrades are dead, "they
did not die in vain"
The services were very interesting,
consisting of a very impressive discourse
by Rev E. Richards; singing, America"
by the choir and audience; music by the
Quinter band; singing by the choir
"Our Soldier Heroes Sleeping" and
"They Died Not in VAIN" march to the
cemetery.
J. w. Burns, commander of the Post,
certainly deserves great credit for the
manner in which he handled the veterans
on the line of march from the hail to the
cemetery. After reaching the grounds,
some very fine military tactics were exc
cuted, wherein the commander placed
the veterans in open order on each side
of the graves of B. F. Bartlett, 7th Hi
nois cavalry; d. G.. Carleton, 4th Yer
mont cavalry, and John Burns, Co. F, LIST
ID. G. vol. inf. Here the ritual exercises
and floral offerings were solemn, but
grand. This lasted for thirty minutes
After a few preliminary orders, the Post
was formed in line of return march to the
hall. Upon reaching the G. A. r. Hall,
Commander Burns placed the Post in
open order, and the W. r. G. marched to
the head of the column and halted;
while the commander, in behalf of the
Post, extended to the ladies of the w. r.
G. his thanks for their hearty co-opera-
ton in the exercises of the day, and to
the Quinter band ior their generosity in
furnishing the music for the occasion.
The ladies of the w. r. c., not to be
outdone in courtesy by the old soldiers,
requested the commander to march his
comrades into the hall. Here fine din
ner awaited the boys and their wives.
At least $50 old soldiers and their friends
found that the ladies had enough to feed
them ALL ~

Wheat and rye are looking nice. They

DECORATION DAY.
Wa-Keeney and Trego County Do
Nobly.
five Hundred Persons in the
Throng at Wa-Keeney.
Three Hundred in the Procession
to the Cemetery.

The program of exercises for Decors-
ton day. as we published it last week,
was almost literally carried out.
At 1:3O p. N. Captain Trego Post, g. A.
Il, met at the Post room, formed into
line and marched to Opera Hall. Here
was sight which would have been a
credit to any community in the state.
The hall was overhowing with a mass OF
men. women and children, dressed in
holiday attire. Perhaps five hundred
persons were present. The Woman's
Relief Corps had decorated the hall with
portraits of prominent soldiers and states
men. and surrounded each of them with
Ia beautiful wreath. Other decorations
with leaves and flowers abounded in
large numbers.
Comrade B. J. F. Hanna was master
of ceremonies.
Upon the meeting being called to order,
Rev. w. B. Brown delivered an appropri-
ate prayer.
The male quartette sang one of its
beautiful and impressive songs.
w. s. Tilton delivered an address, in
which attention was called to the supe-
rior individual and aggregate intelligence
of the men who went to war for the
Union; the rapidity with which they are
passing away; the perpetuation, through
the Sons of Veterans, Daughters of Vet
Grams, Woman's Relief Corps and kin
dred orders, of the principles of loyalty,
etc.
After another song by the male quar-
tette, Rev. Mr.. Mahaffie was introduced,
and he proceeded to talk eloquently of the
blessings of a united nation. He cited
at length statistical data, demonstrating
that, as united nation. we have with us
all the the resources which are required
for happy, independent life.
The male quartette gave another song.
The procession was now formed in
front of Opera Block, preparatory to
marching to the cemetery. Not far from
three hundred persons we're in the pro-
cession, the formation being as follows:
Wa-Keeney Band; boys; Captain Trego
Post; citizens on foot; girls, representing
the thirty-eight states; Woman's Relief
Corps in carriages; citizens in carriages.
The exercises at the cemetery were
impressive. Each old soldiers grave was
showered with a profusion of flowers. A
circle of flowers, perhaps ten feet in d.
ameter, was made for the graves of the
unknown soldiers of the country.
The little children who, the day before
Decoration day, gathered the myriads of
flowers deserve the grateful remembrance
of our good people.
