T. CARRICO, Post Master. Special to the GRAPHIC. WELLINGTON, July 8 p. -The gaine here to-day between Wichita and Wellington resulted in a victory for the home nine.

The score was nine to two. The boys feel very good over the matter. WELLINGTON, July 9 p. Western Union wires at some point between Wellington and Kansas City are down. Just where conld not be learned.

Rev. A. B. Charpie has returned from his trip to Kingman. An engine and caboose went west yesterday in advance of the regular train.

LOST--A bunch of keys. Finder will please leave them. at Roy Herring's office. tf Mr. Hoober is back from the west, and is arranging to move out in a short time.

The plasterers have finished their work on the new Baptist church and the inside finishing is now being put on. A new force pump has been put in the well in front of Murphy's store, with hose attachment, 80 that the street and sidewalk can be kept below roasting heat. Grain is not coming in as fast as it might, yet considerable is being marketed. Our buyers are not over anxious, but take all that is offered, payiug 50 cents per bushel for wheat, 20 cents for corn and 18 cents for oats. The general opinion is that oars will 800n advance in price, a8 the yield will not much more than meet local demand.

Dell Shearrer, the man who was shot by the Weaver boys, at Danville, for which crime they were lynched, has recovered. He was at Harper last Saturday, and getting into a difficulty drew a revolver. The local pugilist, Bissel, separated the combatants when Shearer turned on him, but WaS knocked out by the heavy weight champion. -Press. -It is.a pity the Weaver boys did not finish him.

Winfield Courier. The Courier seems to be getting blood thirsty. Exchanges who are making such comments as this are hereby informed that Dell Shearer is not a desperado. On the contrary he has always been a quiet unassuming person. The following startling metaphor was indulged in recently by a Georgian judge, in the case of Canningham vs.

National Bank of Georgia (71 Ga. 403), in whick it was held that dealing in "cotton -that is, contracts in form of sales of cotton for future delivery, but with the intention on both sides to deliver no cotton, but to settle by payment of difference in the market price was gambling. Said the judge: "A betting on a game of faro, brag, or poker can not be more hazardous, dan gerous, or uncertain. Indeed, it may be said that these animals are tame, gentle, and submissive compared to these monsters. The law has caged them, aud driven them to their dens; they have been outlawed, while this ferocious beast has been allowed to stalk about in open mid-day with gilded signs and flaming advertisements, to lure the unhappy victim to its embrace of death and destruction.

Mr. O. W. Hill, superintendent of the Wellington water works system, was in the city Thursday. Mr.

Hill enme over on the invitation of Mayor Wright to survey the field and give us a bid for the construction of our water works. But Mr. Hill did not see Mr. Wright or any of the council, that we are aware of, excepting Mr. Forrey, and Mr.

Johnson. The GRAPHIC has not been informed of Mr. Forrey's appointment as a committee of one to monopolize the attention of water works company representatives. Possibly the Mayor, and other members of the council, know quite as much concerning the wants of the city on this matter as Mr. Forrey does.

The GRAPHIC suggests that in future when, Mr. Forrey escorts water works men around the city he show to the Mayor and other members of the conneil, at least the passing courtesy of an introduction to the gentleman. "Sweet By-and-By." This is how the now famous hymn "Sweet By-and-By," came to be written: Dr. Filmore Bennett the author, lives at Richmond and is poor. The hymn was written by Dr.

Bennett at Elkhorn in 1868. The writing of the words was based upon a remark made by J. P. Webster who composed the music. Mr.

Webster was of an exceedingly nervous and sensative nature, and subject to periods of terrible depression. In one of his melancholy moods he chanced -to drop in at the house of Mr. Bennett, when the latter asked him: "What 18 the matter now?" "Oh, it is no matter," replied the despondent man, "it will be all right by-and-by." The last three words immediately conveyed a suggestion to Dr. Bennett. and he says "the idea of the hymn came to me like a flash of sunlight." Turning to his desk he penned the words which have since become so famous.

He says it did not take him more than twenty minutes to write the hymn. It Has a Local Application. A couple of Illinois county officials appeared in a Chicago office a few days ago and de sir ed to retain him to come down to their section and assist the Prosecuting Attorney and Board of Supervisors in a little matter. "What is the case?" he "Well, we voted $22,000 to build an iron bridge. The bridge didn't cost but $14,000, but we can't find where the other $8,000 went to." that's it.

Well, I know. I got $2,000 of it for advising the contractor to skip with the rest. He is now in Canada." Base Ball. Main Street vs Central Avenue will play this afternoon; at 6 oclock. The following are the players: Main Street Nina.

185t6 Wanted. Farm loans by Sam B. Sisson. 90d. Cleveland has done another thing which will make him unpopular with is party.

He has down on political wire pulling by government officials. This is an action subversive all cratic tradition and policy. The following is his order promulgated yesterday: EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, D. July 14, 1886 To the heads of departments in the service of general government: I deem this a proper time to especially warn all subordinates in the several departments and all office holders of the general government against the use of their official positions In attempting to control political movements in their localities. Office holders are agents of the people, not their masters; not only is their time and labor due to the government but they should scrupulously avoid in their political action as well as in the discharge of their official duties offending by a display of obtrusive partnership, their neighbors, who have tions with them as public officials.

They should also remember that their party friends from whom they have received preferment have not invested them with the power of arbitrarily managing the political affairs. They have no right as office holders to dictate the political action of their party associates or throttle freedom of action within party lines by methods and practices which prevert every useful and justifiable purpose of party organization. The influence of federal office-holders should not be felt in the manipulation of political primary meetings and conventions. The 1186 by these officials of their positions to compass their selection of delegates to political conventions is indecent and unfair, and proper regard for the proprieties and requirements of official place will also prevent their assuming the active conduct of political campaigus; individual interests and activity in political affairs are by no means condemned. Office holders are neither disfranchised nor forbidden the exercise of political privileges, but their privilege is not enlarged, nor their duty to party increased to pernicious activity by office holding.

A just discrimination in this regard between the things, a citizen may properly do the purpose for which a public office should not be used, is easy in the light of a correct appreciation of the relation between the people and those entrusted with official place, and consideration of the necessity under our form of government of political action free from official coercion. You are requested to communicate the substance of these views to those for whose guidance they are intended.

d99tt COULDN'T SPEAr. The Narrow Escape of Stammering Montana Miner, An honest miner by the name of S- out in Montana finds great. difficulty in giving utterance to his thoughts, the muscles of his face often twitching and jerking, his eyes snapping torted and his features becoming so dis. that one almost despairs of his ever getting them straight again. On one occasion he was sent down into mining shaft, which had partly filled with water, at Diamond City, to look after some tools that had been left in the bottom.

The descent was made by means of a rope and windlass, and he was to call out to his partners above when he neared the surface of the water. This was the signal for them Down, to "hold down. up." down he went, and his feet struck into the water sooner than he expected, which startled him. He tried to ery out, but, alas! his nerves were too highly tensioned. The unruly member.

would -not obey the will, and, with all his persistent efforts. he failed to emit the faintest whisper. What was to be done? His partners, in ignorance of his strange predicament, were unwinding the rope, letting him lower and lower into the yielding element, which was cold and deep. There Was no time to lose. To climb' the rope the only alternative.

Up the rope he went, with the agility of a squirrel, and was at the top in a few minutes. What is the matter with you, Jeff?" shouted his comrades, as he popped out at the top, trembling with excitement, his clothes wet and dripping, his features twitching in an extraordinary manner, and they thinking that some awful apparition was right behind him. Why didn't you holler?" e-c-cou-cou-cou-couldn't stst-st-start m-m-my mo-mo-mouth off!" The explanation was satisfactory. But Jeff' could never be prevailed upon to go down into another shaft when he thought there was the bottom of Youth's Companion. Obedient School-Children.

A German school-teacher was instructing his pupils how to act when the Grand-Duke should pass through on the railroad, an event which was to occur next day. Remember, said the pedagogue, "that as soon as the train arrives you are to yell as loud as you can: live the until he leaves." Next day when the Grand-Duke arrived at the station, and gracefully bowed from the platform of the special car, the school children made the welkin, "Long weary live by the yelling: Grand-Duke until he eaves!"
