Wellington to Have Municipal
Ownership
OF Electric Lights and Water
works at Once.
TO BUY WATER PLANT.
Will Pay the Present Owners
the Sum of $4,000.
City to Build and Operate Its
Light Plant.

Wellington, Aug. 19.-This city will
have its own waterworks and electric
lights.
The city council held a called meet
ing Thursday night and voted to offer
the owners of the waterworks plant
$1,000 for the plant as it stands, in
per cent bonds, payable in thirty years
Should the owners accept the offer, a
special election will be called to vote
the bonds. The matter will then be
up to- the voters and they will decide
the question for all time.
A motion was also passed by the
council, that in the event the city be-
comes the owner of the waterWorks
plant, an electric lighting and power
plant shall be built and owned and OPP
Grated by the city. The water and light
committees were instructed to make
estimates of the cost of improving the
waterWorkS system so that it will meet
the requirements of the city, and of
erecting a lighting and power plant.
Prior to the action of the council, a
number of interested tax payers ex-
pressed their views as to what the city
should do in regard to the water and
light questions. The sentiment of a.
majority of those who expressed them
selves was in favor of the city purchas-
ing the waterworks plant at the figures
given, and of putting in a good electric
lighting system. The majority of the
sentiment was also in favor of spend
ing $4,000 or $40, 900 in improving the
WaterWorkS plant.

HOLD UNION SERVICES.
Methodist, Congregationalists and
Presbyterians Unite at Russell

Russell, Kan, Aug. 19.-The wishers
for Christian unity at Russell have
been greatly encouraged this summer
by the union services which have been
the regular order for Sunday evenings
for several weeks.
Four denominations maintain SER
vices here each week-Methodists, Con-
gregationalists, Presbyterians and I'm
tied Brethren. The first three of these
agreed some time ago to abandon the
custom of running a competitive race
and instead united their energies. The
three ministers of these denominations
preach by turns in the three churches,
and have the advantage of having as
audiences the members of all three de-
nominations. There was a strong ten
deney for the fourth church to join in
this movement, but it did not succeed.
There is hope for a day when unity
shall have so far progressed that the
energies that are now wasted on de-
nomination. upbuilding shall be used
in the more important work of advanc-
ing the cause of the Great Teacher.

by the state. These he pronounced to
the twenty contestants-ten on each
side. The words were written by the
spoilers, and the result showed very
favorabIy to the teachers, who aver
aged nearly "a words correctly spelled
to nearly 78 of the business men.
The best grades were A. w. Whelan,
100, and A. L. Edwards, 80, for the
normaIites and J. c. Ruppenthal 100,
and W. w. Nutting. SO, for the bust
ness men. The words most often mis-
spelled were: Metallurgist, acacia,
gneiss, bdellium, auxiliary, esophagus,
whorled, corollary, crystalline. and tyr
annie. It is stiH unsettled whether the
plural of banjo is banjos or banjoes.
There is now talk of challenging Ellis
worth county to a spell and pitting
our best against theirs.
