spectOr Mckenzie, President Kemper
OF the Kansas City board OF trade, ard
President CortelyOu Of the Kansas
Grain Dealers association. The Wei
lington grain buyers divided the
wheat aud paid 3 cents above test for
it. Several loads OF wheat arrived
too lste for the exhibit The heavy
roads and the delay 10 starting, caused
by the threatening clouds, made them
late.
A matter of frequent comment is
the orderly crowds that have attended
the Jubilee this week. The crowds
are seemingly willing 10 do anything
the police ask Of them. The other
night the rubber ball nuisance became
30 great that the police decided TO
stop IL. Thousands of rubber balls
were flying and everybody on the
streets was being pounded right and
left with them. The city marshal
started through the crowd. "Put up
your rubber balls" he said to every
bod. The word was passed along
ahead of him and in thirty minutes
every rubber ball bad found pocket.
Not rubber ball has been seen on
the streets since. The crowd then
made dive for corn, and the order
was given 20 quit throwing corn. M
corn has been thrown since. Oatmeal
and -four appeared, The ban was
placed upon them and no more oat-
meal or flour has been thrown. A
scheme was proposed to celebrate the
wheat exhibit yesterday by throwing
wheat. The police asked the people
TO refrain from it and not grain OF
wheat was thrown. The police sug.
gesved that nothing but confetti be
thrown during the remainder Of the
carnival. Confetti and paper "shav-
iugS" are the only things thrown.
Today is Carnival day, when every
person is supposed to turn himself or
herself loose. The police requested
that no rowdiness be INDUCED In.
The crowd has engaged in no more
harsh sport than is INDUCED In at a
parlOr social, Confetti throwing and
joking are the methods Of amusement.
Everybody seems to enjoy 1t, aud
everybody is glad to escape the an
nOvance caused by rubber balls, corn
throwing, etc. Sumner county people
are all right.
]. G. Smith came very near LOSING
his fne gold watch 10 the crowd at
the Midway last night. A gang OF
pickpockets rushed him and one OF
them succeeded in getting the watch
out Of his pocket before Mr.. Smith
suspected anything. He thought bis
watch was gone and grabbed the man
nearest to him when he felt, the
watch dangling from his pocket. The
pickpocket had gotten the watch out
OF bis vest but had not unfsstened II
from the chain. Mr.. Smiths watch
is the finest pocket time piece In Wei
lingtou, costing over 5000. 1t stikes
the hours, minutes and seconds and
has a gold relief likeness Of his old
bay trotting horse, "bird."
The number OF people 10 town TO-
day is exceeded only by the number
iu town Thursday. The Jubilee ha;
been great success; week OF unsur
passed pleasure for everybody. Wei
lington people are particularly vel
pleased The crowd today is immense
and the business men are discussing
plans for next years carnival. Sum-
Der county people can rely upon being
entertained on a grand scale at least
once year hereafter by wellington
This is the kind Of spirit that haI
been infused into Wellington bushes:
men by the carnival, which owes its
existence to Tom Richardson,
"Whn's most responsible for the sue
cess OF the carnival?" was asked a
man this morning "Who?" he said
Everybody. Don't YOU say in your
paper that any one person or any
