In speaking Of the Fourth of July it
says that Wellington, although but ten
weeks old, celebrated its first 18th of July
with high honors. At the grounds the
music was led by Mrs. Wm.
N. Smith on the melodeon, accompanied
by Mr.. Godfrey on the violin and large
choir Of singers, and as the beautiful
notes waited out on the wild prairie we
cOuld,not help thinking of our eastern

For a Public Park.

The question Of "a city park is again
being discussed. Wellington needs a
park badly, but there is no way OF
securing one except by popular sub
unless some rich person
should donate a piece Of ground for
that purpose. Has Wellington no
rich citizen who will give to the city
a block OF ground to be used as an in-
side city park-a place where people
can 60 and rest in the heat Of the
day and evenings, and enjoy them
selves socially? The ground for a
pa,k would not cost more than $500.

That Rotten Egging Episode.

1t is reported that the Santa Fe
management has ordered its attorneys
to 60 to Ddnville, in Harper county,
and arrest some prominent women Of
that place on criminal charge. 1t
seems that some time ago William
Ellis started jpint in Danyille and
the women concluded to suppress il.
The working Of the law was too intrl-
cate and slow TO suit their notions OF
the eternal fitness of things and 50
they adopted novel plan TO break up
the hated joint.
Last Thursday Ellis went to Wich-
ita to lay in a new stock Of goods and
when he returned to Danyille 10 the
evening, IL is reported that Mrs. Cline
and her daughter, Lulu, Mrs. William
BickfOrd, Mrs. John Pickens and Mrs.
A. Gleason met him at the depot With
a basket Of stale eggs, and opened
h0stilites. There was regular
shower OF hen fruit and the women.
not being experts at throwing, it is
claimed that the eggs made the depot
hook like it had recently received a
coat of yellow paint and of course the
paint was very unpleasant 10 case OF
close inspection. That is what made
the Santa Fe officials hot and it is
given out that they are going to show
the women that it is not safe TO throw
stale eggs promiscuously about their
depots.
The people Of Danville are said TO
be wonderfully worked up and are
taking sides in the affair. The local
paper, the News, rOasts the good sis
ters who threw rotten eggs but it
does 50 over the signature of someone
named Spectator" 1t is claimed
that the women are becoming alarmed
aud that they are just beginning TO
realize that they have done a serious
thing.
