APRIL 24, 1889. W. E. DOUD, Editor and Proprietor people of Eureka who contributed to the We are requested to thank the generous fund which carpeted the altar and auditorium of the Catholic church. That denomination have also been enabled thereby to paint the interior and stain the windows their house, and naturally feel grateful to the donors of the very liberal contributions they made.

Weather Crop Bulletin Of the Kansas weather service, in co-operation with the United States signal service, for the week ending Saturday. April 20th. 1889: PRECIPITATION. There has been an excess of rainfall in the counties south and east of a line from the northeast corner of Ford to the mouth of Kaw. in Lane.

Salina and the northern portion of Cloud. A deficiency for the week exists in the northern, northwestern. and southwestern counties. Heavy hail on the night of the 15th 16th in the eastern portion of Lane, on the evening of the 16th in Stafford, and on the 17th in Edwards and Stafford, with light hail in Butler, Marion and Shawnee. TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE.

During the first days of the week the temperature Wits kept several degrees below the normal by the northerly winds and cloudy weather, but has risen above the normal the last days. Cloudy prevailed four days out of the seven. RESULTS. All small grains are generally up. Corn planting has been much retarded in the southern counties by the rains.

In the northeastern counties the cool weather has delayed the leafing of the trees, which is progressing rapidly in the central and southern counties, but is most noticeable in the extreme west where a large planting was made last year and where vegetation of all kinds has been very favorably affected by the weather con- ditions. In the central counties of the west wheat is twelve inches high and 18 far advanced 18 it was the latter part of May last year. On the 16th old chinch bugs were quite numerous in the air from Woodson to Clay inclusive, but disappear- ed during the rains of the 17th. The hail in Edwards and Stafford cut off many fruit blossoms and beat down the growing grains, which will set them back some; the large stones broke much glass in Stafford. cut through some roofs and killed some hogs.

It does seem strange, I do declare, That a year of married life, Can change the dear with the auburn hair. To the old red headed wife. Sheriff Brookover reports that he now has but one boarder the least number in the jail since he became sheriff. Perry Bryan, an experienced butcher, has bought a half interest in the butcher shop 011 Main street. just above Fourth, and the firm is now Stouch Bryan.

Fred Herwick, who has been mail agent on the Santa Fe Howard branch for the past three years, was relieved last Tuesday, we understand by a gentleman from Emporia. The REPUBLICAN "Pansy" has ceased to bloom, apparently, but we now have a dear good "Grandma," who will in the future keep our readers posted as to academy events. The busy housewives of Eureka are in the midst of spring house cleaning, and the poor men are obliged to eat and sleep 29 do the other animals whenever and wherever they can. The dry goods merchants have decided to close their stores at 7:30 p. commeneing with May 1st.

This is a good move, as it gives the hard worked clerks a little chance for recreation. If the grocerymen would do likewise, they would do right. Monday last water service was placed in the court house yard. There are, we understand, to be four hydrants to be placed therein. Now if the church people will make application to the council, we have no doubt they will be supplied with water.

I. Kearns, who is so well known as ton of this city, has been confined to his bed for over a week by what it was at first thought was a paralytic stroke. We are glad to learn, however, that it is now thought the attack is only one of rhemnatism. Cremation is gradually advancing in popular favor. Two incine rations took place in Philadelphia last week, and it is reported that four new crematories have been built this year.

Considering the amount of prejudice the innovation. or revival, has had to contend with, its progress in the direction of popularity has been singularly rapid. Card of Thanks. wish to return my sincere thanks to my many friends and neighbors for their kindness and attention to me during my protracted sickness, JAMES A. STEWART.

The recent rains, while they were great blessing to the country, did considerable damage in some localities. EASTER SUNDAY. The Anniversary of the Resurrection of Our Saviour, as Observed by Eureka Churches.

Last Sunday the Easter services in Enreka were more than usually impressive and beautiful, the pastors and members of the various churches having taken extra pains to fittingly celebrate and commemorate that great event in the world's history- the resurrection of our Redeemer. An extra effort was made, not only to hold appropriate services for the enlightenment of the older ones, but to make a lasting impression on the minds of the little ones, such as would cause them to realize the importance of the day, and to indellibly impress it on their minds. Our reporter was unable to visit all the churches, but, as near as possible, he has secured a report of the doings of each. THE METHODIST CHURCH Was beautifully and tastefully decorated, the altar and its surroundings being a foliage mass of flowers, both in bloom and plants. Appropriate mottoes in evergreens were placed on the walls and strung on wires.

The services, morning and evening, were representative of the day, and were participated in alike by the pastor, and members of the church and Sunday school, interspersed with appropriate music. These services were impressive, and will long be remembered by all who were present. THI. LUTHERAN CHURCH Was also handsomely decorated with flowers, showing that master hands had been busy in preparing this fitting tribute. A nice feature of this decoration was the hanging around among the flowers of three cages of canaries, the feathered songsters in which made a sweet accompaniment to the music of the choir and children.

At the morning service the pastor delivered a beautiful and impressive Easter sermon, after which communion services were celebrated, a large number of communicants joining in this sacred ordinance. Attle morning service four persons united with the church, three by profession and one by baptism. A nice program had been arranged for the evening service, consisting of music commemorative of the day, recitations, essays and other exercises. After the benediction beautifully colored eggs were presented to the little ones of the Sunday school by their teachers. THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH Was also beautifully arranged with foral designs, and many were the praises bestowed upon the workers whose hands so skillfully fashioned such a beautiful sight.

The services of the morning were the regular Easter sermon and music, and those of the evening, conducted by the Young Peoples' Society of Christian Endeavor, consisting of Easter music, essays, thoughts and recitations, were so beautiful and appropriate as to elicit words of praise from the large audience present. THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Held regular appropriate Easter services morning and evening, although no attempt was made at decoration or special exercises. THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. Like the Presbyterian, held no special services, but two good sermons on the resurrection were listened to by the audience. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH Celebrated high mass, Father Matthew Smith, of Emporia, conducting the servives.

The Easter service of this church is always impressive and beantiful, and Sunday last wits a great day with that faith in Eureka. The churches were all well filled morning and evening with audiences who decided that Easter Sunday was appropriately and beautifully celebrated in our city. Death Notices. Died, April 16, 1886, in Fall River ship, of consumption, Mrs. O.

Hockanson. aged twenty-three years. Died, at the family home, on Bachelor creek, on Sunday, April 21, of pneumonia, U. Devior, aged seventy-six years. The funeral services were conducted at the home on Monday afternoon, when the remains were interred in the Eureka tery.

Died, of spotted fever, Homer Sample, aged five years. He was a bright, trious little boy. His suffering was short, but very painful. He was in as good health as usual on the evening before his death, and did his usual work of getting in his kindling for the morning fire. In the morning he was found very sick- al- most exhausted- and suffered till in the evening, when his sufferings were relieved by death.

There are four in the family to wourn his loss father, mother and two children. It is sad to give up so dear a child. He is gone from this world of row and pain, but we hope to meet him in heaven. The family have the sympathy of all their friends. The ordinance in relation to fowls, cuttle and dogs runing at large and up alleys will be strictly enforced.

L. FRIBERGER, Acting Marshal. Attention, Firemen. There will be a special meeting of the Eureka fire department this (Wednesday) evening, at 8:30 o'clock, to take into consideration the question of attending the fireman's tournament at Clinton, Missouri, in June.

W. H. EvANe, Chief, The Election.

On that day the men parade the streets with the privilege of lifting" every woman they meet three times from the ground, and demanding in payment either a kiss ora sixpence. On Easter Monday the tables are turned. the women being entitled to a chance of reovering their kisses or sixpences as the case may be.

Chambers' Book of Days thus alludes to this custom of lifting: Lancashier, and in Cheshire. Staffordshire, and Warwickshire, and perhaps in other counties, the ridiculous custom of or is practiced. On Easter Monday the men lift the women, and 011 Easter Tuesday the women lift. or heave, the men. The process is preformed by two lusty men or women joining their hands across each other's wrists; then, making the person to be heaved sit down on their arms, they lift him up aloft two or three times, and often carry him several yards along the street.

A grave clergyman who happened to be passing through a town in Lancashire 011 an Easter Tuesday, and having to stay an hour or two at an inn. wits astonished by three or four lusty women rushing into his rOOm exclaiming that they had come 'to lift "To lift repeated the amazed divine; 'what can you your reverence, we're come to lift cause its Easter me because its Easter Tuesday? I don't understand. Is there such custom 'Yes, to be sure, all us women was lifted yesterday, and us lifts the men to-day. And in course its our rights and After a little further parley, the reverend traveler compromised with his fair visitors for half a crown and thus escaped the dreaded compliment." April Table Talk. D.

B. Fuller is always lucky. Not only is he given positions of prominence, and blessed with a lucrative practice, but he has the honor of being the first citizen of Eureka to receive a real live wild animal from Oklahoma. The animal is a fine specimen of the opossum, and arrived by express last Sunday morning. We have not learned what disposition Mr.

Fuller will make of it. Notice. Just as we go to press we learn that 1. Kearns was much worse last night, His disease is now pronounced sciatic rheumatism,.
