OF course we are going to have a
county convention sometime next
fall. We want you all to get ready
for it. Better begin at once to think
about it and work up a good interest
in your school so you will have a good
report TO make. The secretary would
suggest that the Sunday school work
ers OF each township get together and
arrange mass meeting Of all the
schools in the township to discuss
Sunday school work and create en-.
thusiasm. Appoint it for Sunday
afternoon, invite everybody, have
some good music, and get someone to
make you an address with a free dis.
cussiOn and ask everybody to join in
it. The president and secretary ar
ranged that sort OF a meeting at
Bethel church near Rome May 24th
at pm. and it was decided success.
We are going to hold another one at
Rome on the first Sunday in July.
If you are not to far away for the
Secretary to drive to the place Of
meeting and get back in time for his
evening service in this city he will be
glad to help you. Ifyou are too far
for that aud want to call a meeting
some other day or night than Sunday
he will gladly come. He would like
very much during the summer Il
hold meetings in the interest of Sun
day school work in the various towns
Of the county if the workers in the
towns would arrange meetings fol
him. He has his own conveyance ant
it will put them to no expense. He
breaches every Sunday morning ant
evening in Wellington but will come
whenever tits arranged so as not t
interfere with his PASTORAL duties.
Yours for success.

Graduating Exercises at Perth,

1t was the first graduating exercises
'0f the Perth schools, and the writer
expected to see letter from someone
or the regular correspondents in the
paper last week, but We learned that
one depended on another and nothing
except the usual Perth Items" were
sent in for publication.
ut was the best thing of the kind
ever given at Perth, camefrom many
OF the patrons of the school when
asked what they thought of the exer-
eiSes.
Rendition of the program was begun
6ya selection played by the Perth
orchestra. This orchestra is playing
ine music and is making itself rep
utation. rendered music at appro.
pirate times throughout the evening.
While speaking of the music we wish
TO mention the vocal solo of Miss
Mary Slade, the vocal duet by Miss
Josie Pratt and 0. H. Ajteberry. and
the instrumental duet by Miss Amelia
Pratt and o. H. Atteberry. These
were well rendered-almoSt if not
entirely fanitlessly so. Perhaps there
is no place in Kansas possessing a
greater number o: fine musicians pro.
portiOnally to the population than
Perth.

who graduated, MeSSrs. Melvin ia
c0bs, Lewis Gray and Harold GRAY.
were excellent. The first two named
are more highly cOmplimented upon
the depth Of thought shown than
upon any other part of their produc-
tions. The last one read a history of
the school which admitted of no
range of thought, but was fully as
interesting and equally as we'll writ
ten as either of the Others. Harold
paid a very fine and well merited
compliment to Mr.. Davis in his essay.
This part was enthusiastically receiv.
ed by the audience.
The address of Hon. R. T. Simons
was extraordinarily rich, solid,
thoughtful, business-like and beauti.

THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE.

General Bragg Starts Boom For Carlisle
For President.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-General Ed
ward s. Bragg, the sound money Dem
ocratic leader of Wisconsin, who is now
at the Windsor hotel in this city, favors
Secretary Carlisle as the nominee for
president at the Indianapolis conven-
ton next month. He thinks he is the
logical candidate. For running mate
he favors Daniel w. Lawler of Mime
sota He declares he himself is not a
candidate and says the same thing
about President Cleveland.
An interview with Senator Palmer of
Illinois, who has been named as the
possible nominee of the third ticket
men, was published, quoting him as
saying that he thought he had earned
the right to retirement and would not
head the ticket, adding that General
Bragg would be more than acceptable.
When General Bragg was asked about
this he replied, slowly:
Too Old for the Place.
Senator Palmer's refusal, according
to his own words, is based upon the
fact that he is getting to be an old man.
The same can be said of me. l am get
ting to be an old man and have no de-
sire to head the ticket. We are going
to poll big vote, and the Democrats
who want to may vote for Mckinley
and other Democrats may vote the
third ticket thus Mr.. Bryan's strength
will be cut into deeply"
"Whom do you think will be nom-
mated to head the third ticket?''
IF the sentiment expressed at the
two gold conferences in Chicago ID
, obeyed Secretary Carlisle will be NOM
mated as the logical candidate, a. Z
true representative Of the sound money
principle, and because he is particularly
strong in Kentucky. II the secretary
should not be nominated, how6ver, !
should favor the nomination of General

New YORK, Aug. 12.-Twelve deaths

list given out at police headquarters of

accumulated effects of more than a
week of extremely hot weather are be-
ing shown in the number of fatalities
reported, and although the weather
conditions are slightly more favorable
than they were recently, it is to be ex.
pected that the death roS will be quite
as large if not larger than that of Mon

New YORK, Aug. 12.-It was after
1:15 when the Democratic national
committee got together and, Senator
Jones in the chair, declared it ready for
business. Discussion Immediately arose
as to the selection of a place for head
quarters for the committee. There was
q little discussion, and then the matter
was laid aside while Senator German
offered a resolution that the chair
should appoint committee of 20 to be
known as the executive committee; q
committee of 25 to be known as the
finance committee, and committee OF
to be known as the campaign commit
tee, the chairman, Senator Jones, to be
ex-officio member of each committee.
The resolution further recited that the
campaign committee should be allowed
to select its chairman from either it's
own members or from some outside
source, and that they might also select
an advisory committee from outside
sources.
Happy solution.
The resolution was adopted without
dissent, and Senator German followed
them up with this resolution:
Resolved. that the campaign COM
mittee, when appointed, shall, in con-
lection with the chairman of the ma
tional committee, select the permanent
headquarters of the national committee.
The members seemed to believe this q
happy solution of the vexed question,
and it was adopted with very little
debate.
1t is the belief here that the head
quarters Of the national committee will
be located at Washington, with
branches at New York and Chicago.
