YEARLY GATHERINGS.
The Prosperous Condition of
WellingtOn's Churches.
CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

At the annual meeting of the
Christian church held on Wednesday
evening of last week 1t was demon
strated that the church was entirely
out of debt and had money on hand
sufficient to meet current expenses
for considerable length of time to
come. Possibly no year was ever en-
tered upon that finds the Wellington
churches in so prosperous condition
as the year 1898. Prosperity is not
only evident with the Christian
church, but with all the other
churches in the city of protestant
denomination.
The Christian church, however, is 10
such excellent financial condition and
there is such hopeful feeling among
It's members that the church has de.
cided to hire an assistant pastor at a
salary of $500 year to assist Rev.
o.. l.. Smith, whose attention is
largely taken up with his duties as
state superintendent and district Sec
rotary Of the Christian Endeavor
societies. IL is not yet decided who
will be called to fill the position, but
some one will be chosen as soon as a
suitable person can be found. 10
hiring the new pastor the church
board will act with special view Of
securing person well adapted to
organizing the musical talent in the
church, as they hope thereby to effect
choral organization of renown.
The report of Mrs. Minnie o. Rich
ards, one of the church clerks, showed
that during the year 1897, the church
made net gain in membership of SO.
The present membership of the
church is $50. The average attend
ance for the year was 179 and a frac-
ton. During the year just closed,
nine members were lost by death and
letter. The church gave 5000 to mis-
SiOnS in 1897.
The reports of Mrs. Anna Barnett
and Mrs. Josie Garland Of the Ladies
Aid Society andtae C.W.B.M. showed
healthy condition Oh these societies.
The membership of the Christian En-.
deavor ISL. The membership of the
Junior C.E. is 30. Reports were re-
ceived from Rev. O. L. Smith, the
pastor, Mrs. Myrtle Owen of the Jun
ior C.E., Prof. Butcher of the C.E.
Mrs. A. A. Richardson of the Bible
school, W. A. Rem, treasurer, and
Mrs. Melissa Ready, financial secre,
tary. All the reports were very favor
able.
The election of the church board
resulted as follows: EIders-Rev.
Frank Talmage and A. A. Richard
son. Deacons-S. A. Ravens, E. l..
Brown, c. E. Bright and R. F. Cam.

What Everybody Knows

Or ought to know. is that health and
even life itself depends upon the con-
dition of the blood. Feeding, rs it
does, all the organs of The body, it
must be rich and pure in order to give
proper nourishment. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla makes the blood pure, rich and
nourishing, and 10 this way strengthens
the nerves, creates an appetite, tones
the stomach and builds up the health.
Hoods Sarsaparilla wards off colds,
pneumonia and fevers, which are
prevalent at this time.

shall OF Pond Creek. They registered
as G. Z. Wells and wife Of Conway
Springs, Kas., and occupied room
together Friday night. Saturday
morning he hired livery rig and she
and her little girl went out to a man
named James, to visit. He then pro-
ceeded TO paint the town red, and l
guess he succeeded, as the marshal

GAS FOR CALDWELL.

Another immense gas we'll has been
struck on the Fult Caldwell farm near
Dudley by the Carter Oil company.
Last Friday morning the drill pene-
trated the Berea Grit sand at u depth
of 1876 feet and the gas pressure be-
came so strong that the workmen were
forced TO cease drilling. The we'll is
located about three hundred yards
south Of the G. & M. depot, and the gas
pressure is said to be fully four times
as great as that of the Cunningham
we'll, four hundred yards away and
owned by the company. The drill pen
etrated the sand only four or five feet
and it is not known whether the sand
contains oil at this point or not, as it
is impossible to drill further owing to
the force of gas. This well insures gas
for Caldwell and it will doubtless be
piped here before fall.-Republican

BAUM AS A FISHERMAN.

On Wednesday Mr.. Burt Baum, who
is member of the Jolly Five camping
club, in camp below Beverly, caught
large Buffalo sucker on line which
he placed in the river for no other
purpose. The fish was SO large that
it almost pulled the boat under water,
but with the assistance of Louis An
CERT and Ben Seyler the fish was land
e. on Dana's island, some distance be-
low. The exact weight of the fish is
not known, as no scales were to be
found in the neighborhood, not even
fish scales. Oh, Burt is fisherman

Chances Bright for the Senator to Sc

Nomination.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 4.-fhe chances
of State Senator James Garfield, son
of the late President James A. Gar
field, to secure the Republican con-
gressional nomination at the hands of
the voters of the Twentieth district,
in session here this afternoon, are re-
garded as exceedingly bright, notwith-
standing the fact that there are five
other candidates in the race for the
plum. Although Senator Hanna has
taken no active part in the fight, he is
understood to have quietly exerted
his influence in behalf of Mr.. Garfield
and in opposition to Director Rossiter,
OF this city, who is one of the young
senator's strongest rivals.

Though of the worlds wealth
We've little in store,
And labor to keep

With a hand that is kind
And heart that is trIe,
To make others glad
There is much we may do.
And word kindly spoken,
A smile or a tear.
Though seeming as nothing,
Full often may cheer.
Each day of our lives
Some treasure would add,
To be conscious that we
Have made somebody glad.

TINS week is to have no witnesses ex-

he spent in reading the voluminous re-
port of the adjutant general. then the
report of Surgeon General Sternberg.
and then the reports OF other heads
of departments.
Members of the commission expect
to leave for tour Of the camps one
week from Monday. They may go
first to Camp Meade before 1t breaks
up. They will go to Jacksonville.
where Colonel Bryan will be one Of
the important witnesses. The tour Of
the camps. 1t is thought, will consume
about two weeks. The commission
will return to Washington and later
go to New York City.
In New York two prominent wit
nesscs will be called-Colonel TheO-
dore Roosevelt and II. Il. Roosevelt.
The latter made grave charges against
the administration OF Commissary
General Agnn and he will be asked to
substnntiatc them.
After the examination In New York
the commission will return to Wash
ington before going to Santiago, which,
1t is thought. will be among the last
things done by the commission.
