Confirmation Services in the Catholic
Church.

Tuesday evening at 1880 O'Clock
the Right Rev. Thos. F. Lillis, Bishop
of Leavenworth, administered the
sacrament of Confirmation to class
of fifty-four children at the Catholic
church. These children who had
been under course of instruction in
Christian doctrine for the past three
months assembled at the parsonage
and marched in procession to the
church where seats we're reserved for
them. The occasion was very
happy one for the parents and friends
of the children.
Bishop Lillis, who is no stranger in
Lexington, preached a very able and
instructive discourse to the candi-
dates, outlining to them what was to
be expected from them as good citi.
zens and faithful Christians. The
Bishop was assisted by the Rev.
A. G. Clohessy, pastor of St. Joseph's
church, Kansas City; Rev. John j.
Hogan, Pastor of the Sacred Heart
church, Kansas City; Rev. NJ. ].
o'Reilly, Pastor of st. Patrick's
church, Kansas City, Rev, Candi dus
Mertens, Higginsville, and Father
Curry, the local pastor.

Orlando Rufus Bradley
Struck While Covering
a Hay Rick.
DEATH INSTANTANEOUS
Was One of the Most Promising Young
Men Of the County About to CeIe.
brate His Twenty.fifth Birthday.

This community was inexpressibly
shocked Wednesday afternoon when
lit received the news that Orlando
Bradley had been killed bylightning
near his home, eight miles southeast
Of Lexington.
Shortly after one o'clock, since a
storm was gathering, the young man
took a tarpaulin and left on horse
back to cover a fresh hay-stack in
the field. His prolonged absence
alarmed the family and his father,
Jackson Bradley, went out to see
what was wrong. He was lying dead
on the top of the rick. The light
ming had evidently struck him just
behind the left ear and the back Of
his head was badly lacerated. All
down his left side his clothing was
badly torn and his left shoe was al
most burned Off. Death in all prof
ability was instantaneous. Mr..
Bradley called some of the neighbors
and they moved the body to the
house.
Orlando Rufus Bradley was one Of
the most prominent young farmers
and stock raisers in the county. He
had an exceptionally prepossessing
personality, extensive business
ability and a good education, being a
member of the class Of 1908 at West
minister college. He was Industrious
and efficient in his work.
In Lexington he was well-known
and popular. He was member of
the local lodge Of Elks aud sometimes
played on the base bail team. He
was also a member of Kappa Alpha
fraternity and the Woodmen Of the
World. In church work, too he
was prominent, being deacon and
Sunday School superintendent OF the
Prairie Presbyterian church
A sad feature Of his Sudden death
was the fact that he would have
celebrated his twenty fifth birthday
Thursday His grandfather, his mother
and his sister, Miss Sallie, we're also
born on July ?, and a big dinner had
been prepared for the occasion. Four
young ladies, the Misses Houx and
Bruce, of johnson county drove over
Wednesday and learned only when
they reached the house that the
gathering would be funeral instead
of party.
The taking away of so popular and
promising a young man is a reminder
of how near we are to eternity. He
was handsome, active and robust,
almost a perfect specimen of physi-
cal manhood, Being member of a
healthy family, he seemed sure of a
long and useful life, And yet by a
single actof Providence he was taken
away In an instant. The grief among
his wide circle of friends is indeed
deep,
Besides his father and mother, he
leaves four sisters, Misses Matte,
Bessie and Sallie and Mrs. John
Ramey
The funeral was held from the
house Thursday afternoon at 3
O'Clock. Rev N. H. Mccain assisted
by DR.. E. c Gordon conducted the
services In spite Of the weather a
large number turned out to pay a
last tribute TO the deceased, Burial

WAVERLY TOO
BECOMES DRY
A Delegation On a Special
Train Came Up Mon
day Morning.
VETS TWO NAMES SHORT
So the County Court Refused To Renew
the Licences Of the Two Saloons
Other Court Proceedings.

1t seemed Monday N orning that
the whole of Waverly had come to
Lexington Shortly after o'clock a
special train stopped at the pump
house and from it dismounted an
army of $50 dry though not uninter-
esting inhabitants from the metro
polls Of northeastern Lafayette.
They plodded up the rocky incline,
through Broadway and then dam,.,.
Main street to the court house.
There we're young men, old men, mid
die aged matrons and beautiful young
girls. They were in good spirits and
seemed to be enjoying the gay life;
s';iit tiiviI idCes rested look of
grim determination that boded III for
anyone whose view did not coincide
with theirs. On tie court house
lawn they broke RANKS.
Here the reporter saw his chance
and addressed pretty girl with
light hair, bright expression and a
Merry Widow hat.
SIS this a Sunday School convention
or a willease?"
'gre, hen she said, "T'aint either. I"
what is the purpose of this au-
gust assembly?1
"We don't want any saloon. Z
What are the points of the con-
troversy?t
Il hope they don't get them"
Then man explained that the pet
itions Of Frank Aeeiare and Iohu
Galloway Tor renewal OF dramshop
licenses came up at the meeting CT
the County court The people who
arrived on the special train were
the demonstrators and their sympa-
thizers
The court met little after 9
o'clock in the up stairs court room
and the assemblage went up to listen
to the arguments.
Horace Blackwell and William Aull
represented the petitioners and
VIM H. Chiles the demonstrators. The
first point-concerning the admission
of a new name on the petition was
carried by the petitioners.
But the sojourn of the pilgrims
from Waverly was not in vain
for, whether their presence had any
thing to do with itor not, the County
court decided not to grant the dram
shop licenses to the applicants, since
their petitions we're each two names
short. So for at least month Wav-
erly win be without saloons. The ex.
cursionists were highly elated and
joyfully went home on their special
train, which left at o'clock.
How long the drought will last is not
known, as the waverly vets declare
that they will have petitions with
sufficient names to present at the
August meeting of the court.
The county court Tuesday ordered
