COUNCIL DOES IT'S PART
PROMPTLY IN THE MOVE
MENT FOR FREE
DELIVERY
STREET LIGHTS TURNED ON
That Was Another Step Taken
By Council At The Meeting
Held Last Night

There has not been a hitch in the
preparations for securing free mail
delivery in Dodge City, up to this
time. The petitions circulated were
readily signed until the number OF
signers reached above six hundred.
The petitions were presented to the
City council last night and the
council promptly granted the petition,
and instructed the committee to let
the contract for putting up the names
Of the streets, and the arrangements
for having residents number their
houses was also attended to. In
addition to all the petitions asked for
the council requested the city clerk
to make formal application, through
Congressman Madison, for the
establishment Of free delivery. The
matter 80 far has moved along in the
genuine Dodge City way Of handling
things, and with the showing that
can be made there is every reason to
believe that free delivery will be
established here as soon as such
things can be accomplished.
The council at its meeting last
s,D 1t also instructed the proper
l, 4mittee to contract for five arc
lights on the streets. These lights
were put on during the recent
Shriner meeting, and haYe been in
use since, and now will no doubt
become permanent thing.

Family Arrived Monday TO Begin Their
Residence In Dodge City.
Rev. Esls, who has accepted cali
to the Presbyterian church 1t Dodge
City, arrived Monday evening with
his family. He will preach bis 6rst
regular sermon hsrs next Sunday.
The Usage City Opinion. Of last
week, contains the following regard
ing Rev. Esls and his move to Dodge
City:
"A delightful reception was given
Rev. and Mrs. A. M. Eells Monday
evening, at the parsonage, by the
membership Of the church and COM
gregation. The rain kept good
many from attending, but all who
were present report an enjoyable
evening. On behalf Of the church
Clyde W. Miller presented Mr.. and
Mrs. Eells set of silver knives and
forks, dozen silver spoons, also a
handsome quilt from the Ladies Aid
society. A silver cup was presented
TO the daughter, Mildred. We regret
that Mr.. and Mrs. Eells are to leave
us, but we congratulate the church at
Dodge City in securing Mr.. Eells as
their pastor. This estimable family
has resided in Usage City the past
three years, and have made many
warm friends in that time. The
church to which he goes pays much
larger salary than here, and has also
much larger membership. The best
wishes Of all go with them to their
new home. Next Sunday will be
their last in Usage City as residents,
but we hope to have them with US as
visitors frequently. As pastor he will
preach his last sermon Sunday night.
The morning services will be the
observance of the Lords supper"

that the law-making power Of Congress
