der, the secretary called the roll for that
purpose. Cheyenne and Decatur being
called with no response, the secretary
called Ellis. At this point J. w. Ward
arose from his seat in the Ellis county
delegation and in few well chosen
words presented the name of their candi-
date. H. Reeder-for the congress
ional nomination.
Ellsworth and Graham were next
called by the secretary, add no remarks.
Jewell came next. Hon. r. w. Turner
claimed the attention of the convention
long enough to present the name of H.
B. White as Jewell county's candidate
for the nomination OF congressman from
the sixth district.
The secretary was then permitted to
get as far as Mitchell counts ON the roll
call, when w. J. Sturgis announced that
he would take the liberty OF placing in
nomination the name OF A. ii. Ellis as
Mitchell county's candidate before the
convention.
Norton was the next on the roll call,
and John R. Hamilton arose and in a
graceful way announced that it would
suit their county very well if the conven-
ton would nominate William Simpson
for congress from this district, and he
therefore placed MIR. Simpson in nomi-
nation.
There were now four candidates be-
fore the convention with Osborne next
on the list. Hon. B. f. Matchett hear
ing the name of his county called arose
and told the convention that it was his
duty to place in nomination the name of
W. S. Tilton, and asked that he receive
kind treatment at the hands of the dele
gates.
Phillips county came next, and the
secretary turned his eye on John Q.
Royce, editor of the Phillipsburg Dis
PATCH, and we knew our time had come.
OF course we placed in nomination our
fellow townsman, G. A. Lewis, and asked
the convention that they nominate him,
as in our opinion he was the strongest
candidate before the convention.
Rocks county was the next to be
heard from, and in few remarks, S. E.
Winchester placed in nomination the
choice of their county NJ. G. Reyille-
and asked that the convention seriously
consider the matter.
The secretary then called the roll on
down to and including Wallace county
without further interruption. NOmina-
tons were then closed and the conven-
ton proceeded to ballot.

DECORATION Day at wa-Keeney.


Decoration Day was observed as usual
in Wa-Keeney, and the citizens gener-
ally assisted. The large court room was
filled and number were unable to find
seats. The G. A. r. occupied the place
of honor on the right OF the speakers
stand, and we noticed the following
Trego county soldiers: S. N. Hutzel, r.

cupied seats on the left. ]. W. Reynolds,
Post Commander of Captain Trego Post,
was president of the day. The quartette
consisting of Mrs. A. B. Jones, Mrs. P.
Metz, w. S. Harrison, T. G. Straw and
G. A. Hoar, with Mrs G. N. Gibson as
organist, rendered beautiful music
which was thoroughly appreciated by
the audience. The exercises by the
children were an innovation, but none
the less acceptable.
Judge s. J. Osborn delivered one of
his usual eloquent speeches, which was
well received and listeded to with
marked attention.
At the close of the exercises in the
court room the procession formed on
Franklin street and marched to the
cemetery preceded by the drum corps.
The decoration exercises were abridg-
ed somewhat on account of the threaten
ing appearance of the weather which
caused all to hasten back to town for
shelter from the rain.
The exercises were a success in every
regard, and the attendance large enough
to justify us in saying that Decoration
Day exercises will never lose their in
terest among the people of Trego county,
and no other public day will be so gen.
orally observed.

Populists Contention.

The delegates elected to the populist
convention met at the court house last
Saturday and elected the following dele
gates to the several conventions:

A. Hickey.
judicial. P. Marquand, j. A. Rich,
Bruce Furbeck and Daniel Mcknight.
This convention Ben G. Rich said was
the most important of all. This means
an attempt at fusion for every thing
goes that Ben. G. says.

platform, Sanders army, the state adj
ministration and silver. Given in text

Notwithstanding the threatening
weather the town was filed to overflow

Music was furnished by singers and

excellent and well rendered.
A very eloquent address was delivered
by Mr.. John A. Nelson in which he put
forth in unmistakable terms the obliga-

1t is generally acceded that Collyer
Post No. i07 is among the first in punct-
uality and discipline. The well ordered
manner in which the exercises were
conducted would verify that conclusion.

An old farmer came to town last
week and told merchant he wanted
some nails. The merchant told him he
would sell him forty pounds of twenty
pennies to the dollar, thirty-fve pounds
of twelve pennies to the dollar and
thirty pounds OF the ten pennies to the
dollar. The farmer told the merchant
he would take a dollars worth of the
three kinds, and wanted twice as many
tens as twelves, and twice as many
twelves as twenties. The merchant fig
ured all over two sheets OF paper and
then failed to work the sum. He then
said to the farmer: eff you will work
the sum l will give you the nails" So
the farmer took the pencil, solved the
problem for the merchant, weighed up
the nails, threw them on his back and
went home laughing.-TEx.

The annual recurrence of Decoration
Day brings with it each year renewed
interest in its observance. The appro-
priateness of the exercises on this day
should ever be kept in mind, and let the
lessons of loyalty to country, love for
the stars and stripes and duty to our
fellow man receive new inspirations
from each annual retrospect taken on
this day. There is tendency in some
localities to desecrate the purposes for
which the day is set apart. Like the
Fourth of July and THANKSGIVING occa-
sions, which have in measure at least,
been subverted from the purposes of
their founders, there seems to be grow
ing frivolity in the Decoration Day eel
ebration. Gala days are right and prop
er in their places, but let us remember
the sacred character of the interest of
this day set apart in memory of our fall
len heroes and retain the memory of
their deeds with spirit OF devotion akin
to that of worship.

Memorial Services at Wa-Keeney.
Memorial services were held at the
court house on Sunday, May 9th. The
G. A. R. and w. r. G. attended in a
body.
The room was beautifully and appro-
priately draped for the occasion. In
fact, we think more artistic, taste and
skill were displayed by the W. R. G.
than ever before.
The sermon was delivered by Rev.
Bracken, and was both eloquent and pa
triotic and listened to with the closest
attention.
Good music was furnished by the
quartette consisting of Mrs. A. B. Jones,
Mrs. P. Metz, W. S. Harrison, T. G.
Straw and G. A. Hoar.
