Sargent we're all fine, especially "The
Chariot Race" The concert closed
by Miss Freeman singing Nearer My
God to Thee" and Miss Sargent ap-
pearing in pantOmime. This was
highly appreciated and was very cred
liable to the ability Of both perform
ers. Mrs. Scott acted as accompanist
during the entire program and it is
unnecessary to say that a musical en-
tertainment in Wellington would be
failure without her valuable assist
ance.
Clayton NJ. Haworth, Of Chicago,
ILL.,, was in the city over Saturday and
Sunday visiting relatives. Mr..
HawOrth will be remembered by
many as one Of the teachers OF the
county several years ago and later
telegraph operator at Rock Island
depot here. He is, at present, EN-.
p'Oyed as book keeper for a large
manufacturing establishment in
Chicago. Mr.. Haworth left Monday
morning for Colorado where he goes
on business connected with the
factory, returning to Chicago in a
week or ten days.
j. L. KiSe and W. R. Savage went
to Wichita Sunday to visit confer
ence, Mayor Savage, arriving late,
found the prominent seats all occu-
pied, but he was equal to the emer-
gency. MOtiOning an usher aside he
told him his name was Savage and he
was mayor of Wellington; that he
wanted to go in there and wanted a
front seat; would the usher help him
out. He was then shown the way
around to a side window, where he
crawled in on the platform while the
chorus was singing. When discov-
cred he was invited to front seat on
the platform.
Saturday night the Sharpley Ly-
Ceum Theatre Co. appeared here for
the last time this season. They pre-
sented son the Bowery" to a large
and appreciative audience. 1t is
needless to say they gave a fine per-
fOrmance. Saturday afternoon they
gave good matinee to a crowded
house. This company has given the
the people Of Wellington better shows
for the money thar they have ever
had before. Their plays are enter
tanning and free from the low vulgar
titles so common with shows Of that
class. The orchestra and band, under
the leadership Of Victor Kreyer, was
composed Of good musicians and made
splendid feature Of the entertain
ments. Tue specialties of this com.
pany were all new.
Att meeting Of the official board
Of the Christian church last Tuesday
night the Rev. G. NJ. Weimer, OF Kan
sas, was employed as pastor of the
church for a year at $500. Mr.. Wei
mer is highly recommended as a
strong pulpit orator, and a hard
worker for the cause Of the Master.
He will probably arrive here in a few
weeks. The protracted meeting at
the Christian church has been largely
attended every evening. Last
Sunday afternoon the house was
crowded to its utmost capacity to &C
commodate those who desired to hear
the lecture. The subject was "Blood
Will Tell,r and was handled in Rev.
Boles' unique and interesting man.

A good story is told on two very
prominent gentlemen Of this city who
were In Wichita Sunday. Just be-
fore train time they met yelling
ton girl who said she wanted to come
home, but had nc money. They. Of
course, felt sorry for her, but their
pOcketOooks would only permit them
to bring her as far as Mulvane. At
that place they met a young man
from Wellington, Of whom they bOr-
rowed enough money TO bring her the
rest Of the way home. They pur-
chased ticket and gave it to her,
but when the train from the south
pulled in ayoung man was aboard
who had no difficulty in persuading
the Wellington miss to return to
Wichita with him. She did so with
out the slightest explanation 20 the
gentlemen who had befriended her.
Myron 7. Herrick, cousin Of Judge
Herrlck, and president Of the Society
for the Savings, bank in Cleveland,
Ohio, was here Tuesday, on his way
home from Austin, Texas, where he
has been visiting fer some time. The
above bank is remarkable institu-
tiOn. Having no capital stock, its
actual surplus is over 100000. Its
deposits amount to go, 100000. This
bank was started tbout forty years
ago by few wOrkingmen who bought
