The L. M. I. Circle.

The L. NJ. I. Circle met again with
Mrs. Monroe, last Monday evening.
After meeting was called to order the
Question of dropping the names of non
attendants was discussed, but it was de-
cided to let them remain, but to ra-divide
the society for furnishing the entertain
ment.
Two new members were taken in and
the program was then carried out. 1t
consisted of ''The Battle Hymn of the
Republic" sung by all members, and
much enjoyed by all who heard it. The
paper was represented by the one editor
present-Mrs. Robinson, who read the
Salutatory. At the request of the editor,
each read her own paper. Mrs. Marshall
read story of pioneer life in Iowa, emit
tied "The Bugle Horn" Miss Bur-
roughs read paper on ''True Politeness,' %
and Miss Marshall paper on Evening
PARTIES" A very good essay on Books
was read by Mrs. Robinson. The
"Children's Corner" was as much or
more liked by the ladies than it would be
by children, who could not appreciate
fully its excellence. A recitation given
in connection with the "Children's Cor
ner' was very much liked. The locals
were read by Mrs. Robinson and meeting
adjourned to meet Monday evening,
May 25th, with Mrs. Damn.

Proclamation.

MAYORS OFFICE, CRY OF WA-KEENEY, J
KANSAS.
May %, 1891.
A patriotic people will not forget to
commemorate the great events Of their
history.
The 30th day of May is our National
Memorial day. The restoration of a
dismembered Union; the final overthrow
of American slavery; the establishment
of our National dominion demanded and
received of patriotic citizens, sacrifice
of life, the memory of which a grateful
people can never too zealously perpet-
uate nor too sacredly revere. It is fitting
that the people put aside their ordinary
pursuits, and assemble for the public
observance of Memorial day.
Therefore !, George NJ. Ufford, mayor,
do hereby recommend that all places of
business in the city be closed between
the hours of 1890 a. m. and 1 80 p. M,
and that all citizens display flags and
bunting, upon their residences and places
of business on that day, and attend in
mass the public services incident thereto,
conducted under the auspices of the
Grand Army of the Republic.
GEO. NJ. UFFoRD, Mayor.

The Cincinnati Convention.

Believing that great deal of interest
is centered in the Cincinnati Convention
we will endeavor to give an epitome of
the proceedings up to the time of going
to press. And that we may not be
accused of Partially or prejudice we will
state that the Kansas City Star, an in
dependent paper, with democratic tend
encies, has been our inspiration.
"Both political parties are on the
ground awake to the necessity of making
the wrath of these malcontents redund
to the success of the old parties.
If the conference succeeds, it is likely
to attract wide attention from the coun-
try; but if it dissolves in hopeless antag-
onisms over essential principles and thus
proves that there is no rational political
affinity between its component parts, its
place in political history will not be con-
spicuous.
THE SOUTH NOT REPRESENTED.
Not single southern state is officially
represented, and Gen. Weaver, of Iowa,
PETER, Simpson and Clover, of Kansas,
with the Knights of Labor executive
committee are counselling moderation.
President Livingstone, of the Georgia
Alliance refused last night at caucus of
Alliance leaders to serve on any COM
mittee. II was not sent here by the
Democratic party, he said, and the Farm
er's Alliance down my way does not want
a third party and has sent no delegation"
Texas alone of the Southern States has a
respectable delegation, and it is chiefly
composed of reform newspaper editors.
BoYcoTTED BY MISSOURI.
Missouri has boycotted the conference
and not single delegate will present
credentials from that Commonwealth.
Master Workman Powderly said: The
workmen believe should tie themselves
to no one party. They will then be in a
better condition to dictate terms.
The delegates from Ohio met and
decided in favor of the immediate organi-
cation of third party and declared in
favor of the government loaniDg money
to the people direct at rate not to exceed
two per cent. The Kansas delegation also
declared in favor of the organization of a
third party. In brief the Alliance men,
bers of most of the northern and western
states seem in favor of immediate organ
iZatiOn.
On account Of failure to obtain the news
we are compelled to condense much more
than we had intended, our space being
all occupied.
THE BIRTH OF THE PEOPLES PARTY.
The peoples Party of the United
States of America" was born amid scenes
of wild confusion and intense enthusi-
asm. The leaders were compelled to
submit to the inevitable. The south is
not in it and will not be-. A letter from
President Polk asking that action be
deferred was disregarded. President
Livingstone of the Georgia alliance re-
fused to participate.

In Honor of the Bows in Blue.

The Albany, N. Y. Telegram for May
80. will be printed on red, white and blue
paper and consist of 16 pages. It will be
the most original, unique and popular
paper ever presented to the American
public. Nothing like it was ever
attempted by a newspaper in the
nineteenth century. As mechanical
wonder and military, literary library
there will be nothing to even compare
with it issued in this country. If there is
no agent in your town you can have the
paper mailed to you at cents copy.

MO. PACIFIC TIME TABLE.
A Brief Review.

While we have never made any claims
to publishing literary journal we may
without egotism say, that considered by
a purely literary standard, the WORLD,
this week, will rank with much more
pretentious and widely known publica-
tons. OF course we have reference to
the contributions so kindly furnished by
the L. M. I. G..
It is true that "Manya flower is born
to blush unseen and waste its sweetness
on the desert air." And it is equally true
that many persons of genuine ability and
fine literary attainments are never heard
of, not because there is no one to hear
or appreciate, but because of lack Of
opportunity coupled very often with ex-
treme modesty. Without the slightest
design Of flattery, and in all seriousness
we affirm that there are several ladies in
our city who are qualified to write an
acceptable article for almost any paper or
periodical.
The "Bugle- Horn" true story by Mrs.
Marshall, is told in such way that we
are sure all will be captivated. Given
subject of more thrilling interest to her
readers in general, or in the exercise Of
her imaginative powers by way of writing
pure fiction, the ordinary story reader
would perhaps be better entertained.
But as simple recital of an actual occur
ence, it is told in such an easy, graceful
way, without any attempt at ostentation
or display, that none can fail to be
pleased.
The paper by Miss Carrie Chase Davis
is certainly above the ordinary. Clear
and concise in expression, each sentence
contains a thought worth remembering.
Miss Davis has but little use for puncua-
ton except periods, and never sacrifices
sense to sound. This paper will bear
close and careful scrutiny and will not
suffer If viewed from the standpoint of
q critic.
Evening Parties" by Miss Lottie
Marshall is just such paper as we ex-
pected from this source. Short, crisp
and entirely original in thought and
manner of expression. Miss Lottie has
already learned a lesson which many
older persons might Learn with profit to
themselves and pleasure to their auditors
that is to quit when you have said all
there is to say.
Miss Hattie Burroughs gives her IDEAS
of what constitutes 'True Politenees" in
a well written essay. The thought con-
tanned is worthy Of the writer and her
ideas are expressed in a pleasant un-
affected manner.
The "Children's Corner" by Lila Day
Monroe, is worthy of place anywhere.
Not many have the versatility Of STYLE
possessed by this writer. Juvenile liter
allure offers the most fruitful field for the
display Of genius, tact and adaptability.
To become sue ,essful writer for child
rem requires more varied powers Of mind,
q better knowledge of human nature, fin
Or discernment and more tact, than any
other branch OF literature. Mrs. Monroe
possesses all these intuitions and char
acteristics in high degree.
The Salutatory shows q keen sense Of
humor and Is well written. We do NOT
know the author bat shall hold the
sditors jointly responsible. A portion Of
he paper Was unayoidnbly oukittod and
Eill appeax heeeaftsg.

Readers Should Discriminate.


And SO Mr.. -- doesn't like some
OF the things he reads in this newspaper?
Neither do we. But he is at liberty to
pick out what he doesn't like and leave
the rest for some one who is less fastidi-
GUS. Does he know what they call the man
who sat down at first class hotel dinner.
and beginning at the first item on the bill
of fare tried to eat every dish mentioned
thereon? This newspaper presents var
led hill of fare every week, but there is
no law compelling you to devour every
portion Of it. Just put aside what you
don't relish and say nothing about it.
And don't swear at the editor. It's both
wicked and foolish. -Esela.ge.

Old Soldiers.

Decoration day is not to be monopo-
lized by members OF the Grand Army of
the Republic. All soldiers for the Union
are equal participants, as we'll as all
citizens, male and female, old and young,
who cherish the memory of those who
have gone to their reward. 1t is hoped
that all within reach will participate in
the exercises of Memorial Day, May 80.
