Junction City in the Annals of Kansas. Some months ago the editor of THE presented to the library of the Young Christian Association a copy of the new edition of Wilder's Annals of Kansas. A reader of the volume has put together the following items that will probably interest Davis county people. Glancing over the alphabetical index of this volume the names of Junctionites, past and present, occurring often, it was suggested that it would be desirable to see how much Junction City and Davis county had contributed to the history of the state. Looking a little more carefully it was seen that the work would not be a small one, so the first intention was given up.

This was mainly owing to the fact that though the index is full and shows evidence of great care, yet it is not perfect. So to carry out that intention would involve actual search on both sides of every leaf of a volume of nearly 1200 pages. Not being able to do this the writer just gives a few items. The number of times certain persons are mentioned as shown by the index is remarkable, and perhaps it is remarkable that Junctionites to whom reference is oftenest made are those connected with the Junction City UNION. G.

W. Martin is referred to 28 times. Is it not also phenomenal that two other persons who were merely temporary citizens here, also connected with THE UNION, were referred to oftener, viz: Noble L. Prentis, 20 times, and S. S.

Prouty, 30 times. Of course it is impossible here to refer to the points, where these men have touched Kansas history. Junction City is referred to 19 times and Davis county 9 times. James Humphrey and John Davis each 12 times, the former first as editor of a paper at Manhattan and last as a railroad commissioner and speaker at the quartercentennial meeting. John Davis figures as connected with farmers' co-operative association, the greenback and anti-monopoly parties and a candidate for congress.

John K. Wright and H. C. Speer have places on and 7 pages respectively. J.

H. Austin and M. D. Tenney are referred to four times' each. Robert Hay is mentioned as contributing to the historic literature of the state and a translation of a French book about John Brown.

He and Geo. W. Winans are also mentioned in connection with the state teachers' association. In connection with various societies, religious and others, occur the names of Charles Reynolds, Chas. Davis, C.

H. Trott, A. Barnes, Sumner Pierce and W. B. Clarke.

In connection with the Price raid and 15th Kansas state militia, we have the names of John T. Price, William Gordon, W. S. Blakeley, R. E.

Lawrenson, P. Z. Taylor and Dr. Seymour. The shooting of J.

R. McClures' foot is recorded, as well as his holding the registry of the land office, and in half a dozen other items his name occurs. Old Grizzly is referred to three times in the index. Wilson Creek battle has a brief description, but no Junction name in connection therewith. Of course John A.

Anderson's name is prominent, being referred to 22 times. Robert McBratney's Atchison connection Champion with is the given, his foundation share of in the Neosho Valley railroad referred to and his death at Santa Fe. Here and there come other names: G. W. Kingsbury, H.

T. Geery, S. M. Strickler, James Ketner, who have had a share in making Davis county and Kansas. A few of our women are put on the roll of the ages.

Mrs. Humphrey's name comes in connection with a poem at Topeka and the authorship of the Squatter Sovereign. Miss Davidson is on record with her silk worms; Mrs. Barnes' name occurs in connection with a convention, and Mrs. J.

A. Anderson is worthily mentioned. Some people may wonder why other names are omitted here. Look at the book yourself. It is a wonderful and it may be an "omnium gatherum," but this present writer did not see all.

You may. Boys, do not forget the reception by the ladies in Y. M. C. A.

Hall Friday evening at 8 o'clock. Music, singing and refreshments will be in order. Bring your friends and have a good time. On Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock there will be a discourse delivered to women only at the Episcopal church. All the ladies the city are invited.

The Colonel of the Fifth. The telegraph announces that the president on Monday promoted Wesley Merritt of the Fifth cavalry to be brigadier general to succeed General Orlando B. Wilcox, retired. The officers and men of the Fifth are greatly pleased that their colonel secured the plum. The promotion of General Merritt promotes Lieutenant Colonel James F.

Wade of the Tenth to be colonel of the Fifth cavalry. He is a son of late Senator Ben Wade of Ohio and entered the army from civil life as first lieutenant of the Sixth cavalry in May, 1861; was promoted to captain and major of the Ninth cavalry in 1866 and to lieutenant colonel of the Tenth cavalry in 1879. He was the senior lieutenant colonel in the entire line of the army in relative rank. He commanded Sixth colored cavalry during the war of rebellion and was brevetted brigadier general. Dr.

Bard, of Milford, will move into the office formerly occupied by Dr. Harvey in the Rockwell' building on Monday, April 25, 1887. The ladies of the U. S. C.

will hold a crazy social and serve tea from six o'clock until nine o'clock p. m. at the church parlors on Tuesday evening, April 22d. Supper 25 cents. Admittance free.

All are cordially invited. James H. Seager and wife stopped off for a visit with Mrs. Col. Hale and other friends for a few days during the week.

Mr. Seager, who lived in Junction City twenty years ago, expressed great pleasure at the evidence of thrift and improvement to be seen in his old home. They now live at Hancock, Michigan, and have been spending the winter in California. Mr. Seager paid two years in advance for THE UNION, which he has read for twenty-one years.

Perfection Dry Air Refrigerators, all sizes, at Ziegler's. The Conservatory of Music. The impression seems to prevail to some extent that the Conservatory of Music is being run for the benefit of a certain few, to the exclusion of others who might wish their children to get the benefit of the instruction offered. This is entirely erroneous. The stockholders of the institution merely provide a fund that puts the institution on safe for which they receive a financiount of instruction; but the institution is open to all our people, and the instruction is offered at the lowest possible rates.

Our people are or should be deeply interested in making, this institution a success, and in order to do this should give their influence and patronage to the Conservatory of Music. The many advantages of the Conservatory system have been proven in the great music schools of this and foreign countries, and it is no experiment. The instructors engaged are second to none i in their respective branches, and the good effect of their instruction is already becoming apparent. We are glad to know that the Conservatory is to have a suite of rooms in one of the new buildings in course of erection. On entering the door of the Episcopal church there is 8.

It showed careful preparation and the result was an interested audience it was rather long.

We would althongh. the lecturer that it would be better to drop his platform tone of voice and talk easily and naturally. It would be easier for the audience. He should also avoid such grammatical slips as 66 had and the undue use of the conjunction "and." With these hints attended to, we venture to prediet many a successful lecture from Professor Mallory.
