said he shouldn't mind going out

POpulist Meeting.

Last Saturday evening Hon. S. S.
King, of Kansas City, Kans., ad-
dressed the people of Wellington in
the old Augustine building opposite
the postoffice.
Owing to rush of work this week we
have been unable to write up our
notes of the speech.
There was large crowd present,
and they listened earnestly for two
hours to the proclamation of the
truth.
The Belle PLANE Glee club was
present and entertained the audience
with some excellent music.
H. W. Marshall, cOlored speaker
of Arkansas City, made short speech
following Mr.. King.
He is good talker, making quaint
illustrations and making no effort at
lambuOyancy. He talks from practi-
cal personal knowledge, and clinches
his points with humor and logic.

Pugilism and Politics.

Andy Richards made some offensive
remarks on the street this week about
the business of G. c. Curtis, saying
that he could expose things that Cur
It's would not like to see in print.
The cause Of Richards talk was the
publication Of a letter from Ivan d.
Rogers. in which reference was made
to the dishonorable effort of Harry
Woods to break Mr.. Curtis down in
business.
Mr.. Curtis stopped Andy on the
street, and asked him if he had said
certain things. Andy said yes, thst
Harry had told him.
Mr.. Curtis asked him if he didn't
know that he lied.
Then Andy struck at Mr.. Curtis,
and of course Curtis tried to get in a
dow. Iney were separated without
physical harm to either.
The facts in the business" tranSac-
tiOn as shown up by Rogers were gen.
orally known to all the attorneys and
many other business men of yelling
ton.
Mr.. Curtis says that Rogers didn't
hit 'em half hard enough in his letter.
But from the way they are sQuirm-
ing, We believe they are totally
routed, ratified and scared to death.

HUNTER MILLING co.
A Deadly Battle.

His many friends will hear with
sorrow of the frightful death of Geo.
Johnson, better known here as "SailOr
Johnson" last evening about dark.
He had gone out TO finish his chores
and had stepped over into the pasture
where he kept bull, when the AMI.
NAL seeing him inside the fence Zero
ciOusly attacked him. He had evil
IDENTIFY tried to escape through the
fence, as he was found lying almost
under the fence. 1t appears, however,
that he had been making a desperate
fight for life, as there was a club lying
beside his body with which he had
dealt the bull some fearful blows.
But the animal maddened with rage
and pain, had rusned upon him just
as he was STOPPING to 60 through the
fence, striking him a death dealing
blow on the side of the head, and
from all appearances, instantly killing
him. He was not mangled, and bore
no marks of violence except where he
had been struck upon the side Of the
head.
Some of the unfortunate mans fam
lily, thinking he stayed too long at his
work, went out to call him to supper,
but received no answer. They at
once instituted a search for him and
found his dead body lying in the edge
Of the pasture. 1t was a frightful
spectacle for his family to behold.
Mr.. johnson was a man of industry
andintegrity, highly esteemed by all
who knew him. He was well-tO-dO
farmer of Seyenty-siX township, living
just short distance west of River.
dale. He leaves a wife and family of
six children, three of whom are grown,
to mourn his death, made doubly sad
by its awful and untimely occurrence.
The funeral services were be held at
o'clock this evening at the residence,
after which interment was made
in Austin cemetery, near Riverdale.
We extend to the bereaved family
the heartfelt sympathy of their Well
ington friends.

How unfortunate that the editor OF

While it is true that House Bill No.

hibiting passes on railroads passed the

vote was for the bill, and every repub-
lican vote was against the bill, see
page 624. House Journal 1891. This
bill was sent to the republican senate
and referred to the committee on rail-

bill back with the recommendation
that it be not passed, see page sos SEN

Lotteries Under Republican Rule.

The following article is taken from
the Topeka Advocate Of Feb. D. 1891.
Nearly three years ago, when there
was no campaign on and therefore no
inducement to make the facts appear
stronger than they really were, unless
for the purpose Of inducing the legis-
latWe, which was then in session, to
pass the anti-lottery bill. Read this
over carefully and keep in mind the
fact that anti-lOttery legislation was
defeated by the republicans, and then
make up your mind who is responsible
for the existence of lotteries in Kan
Sas today.

BOOM FOR CHRISTIANS
Extension of the Young Peoples
Endeavor Societies.
Adoption of a Great Plan Presented
by an Enterprising Chicago
Business Man.

CLEVELAND, o.. July 15.-The Young
Peoples Society of Christian Endeavor has
undertaken another great project which is
nothing less than an attempt TO enlist all
the members of that organization with the
leading UNCONVENTIONAL mission boards 10
wide-reaching and thorough campaign
to arouse the missionary spirit among all
Christians. 1t is missionary extension
movement similar to university extension
The plan was evolved by Stephen L. Mer-
shon, Chicago business man who became
interested in the Christian EndeaVor So
ciety several years ago. His idea was to
have the various boards of Home and
Foreign Missions unite in securing good
lecturers to speak in various places upon
missionary work, and thus arouse the in
terest of the people.
Mr.. Mershon was anxious that the So
ciety of Christian Endeavor should take
hold of the enterprise and help to push il.
Accordingly he came TO Cleveland and
sought to secure the Endorsement of his
plan by the trustees of the society. For
two days he was in conference with the
representatives of all the deuominatonaI
boards. A meeting was finally held with
the Endeav0r Trustees and the following
resolution was adopted by the trustees:
Resolved. That the trustees OF the United So.
cieiy of Christian Endeavor grant to the Chris
tan Endeavor missionary extension course heir
approval and Endorsement as wise and econ
omical method Of arousng in the young people
an interest In the missionary WORK OF the
church OF Christ, ana that the United Society
of Christian EndeavOr aid In this by advising
their State and local organizations 10 avail of
the plans Of the Christian Endeavor missionary
course.
Mr.. Mershon explained his plan al the
tent meeting this afternoon and succeeded
in arousing much enthusiasm. He said
to UNCONVENTIONAL missions. Ii was pro-
posed to make the contributions of the
missions S1,000.0O0 this wear.
