Memorial Day Proclamation.

Thirty years ago, after four years of
devastating civil conflict, the doc
trines enunciated by Thomas Jeffer-
son in our declaration of Independ-
ence that "all men were created free
and equal,' and by Daniel Webster
that this is a union of states, one
and inseparable," was established and
settled forever. A grateful people,
desirous of paying their tribute of re-
spect to the brave defenders of their
country in that dark hour of our ma
tion's history, have, through their
representatives in congress, set apart
the Both day Of May in each year as
Memorial day. 1t is a day that should
be observed by every loyal American
citizen; not alone in placing flowers
on the graves Of our dead heroes, but,
better yet, in testifying our gratitude
and affection towards that gallant
band that still survives to tell the
story that will never grow old, Of a
nations peril and a nations victory.
Their fidelity and devotion to their
country's flag should be remembered
and taught to the generations OF TO-
day that are so rapidly taking their
places, that the stability and perma-
nence Of this government may at all
times rest upon the shoulders OF an
intelligent and patriotic people.
Therefore, that all may have an op-
portunity to take part In the exercises
OF the day; and, as a further mark Of
respect, and in compliance with re-
quests made by committee of arrange
ments. l, W. R. Savage, Mayor of the
City of Wellington, do hereby request
that all places Of business be closed on
Thursday, May 80, 1895, from II m. to
5 p. m. OF said day.

Bret Gatliff, one Of Wellington's
first settlers and a resident here dur
ing the former time of gamblers and
grasshoppers, came in from Bowling
Green, KY, this morning to visit his
brOthers'and sisters here. He states
that Kansas people are in. as good
condition, if not better, as regards
crops, than their Kentucky brethren.
In his state, he says the wet weather
and the cold climate have destroyed
the wheat and oats and almost made
corn an unknown quantity. Those
Kansans who are so very, very blue
may obtain some comfort from the
fact that they suffer not alone. Toe
many people seem to gaze about them
in radius Of diminutive proportions
and do not think Of the vast acreage
outside of Kansas which is barren
from various causes. There are as
good prospects in some portions Of
this state today as there are any where
il the union.

We have just received a copy Of the
last catalogue Of the State University.
By a hurried glance through its pages
we notice that the institution is still
progressing and expanding in all its
departments. During the past year
the new Spooner library building was
completed and dedicated. The new
Physics building is almost completed
and will be ready for use next year.
There are now tlfty-three in the fac
ulty. The number of students en-
rolled in the various departments is
S75, not counting University Exten-
sion students. Important changes
have been made in the curriculum,
many new courses having been added.
We would advise all persons inter-
ested in higher education to write to
Chancellor f. H. Snow at Lawrence,
Kansas, who will gladly send a cata-
logue free upon application.

satisfied In full on the basis of the pro-
posed compromise. Ever since the SUI

thought he owed the county under the
decision, but he disputed the amount
claimed by the county as shown by the
figures of the auditor and the present
clerk, who recently examined the ex-
clerks books to determine the amount
due, which they found to be s9.997. 20. Mr..
Clark claimed to have the treasurer's re-

against him, and also protested against
being charged interest on money he
was rightfully entitled to-
