The Churches, The rainy weather yesterday interfered seriously with the attendance atthedif- brent churches. There was however, fair congregations at most of the churches iu the morning and all who attended were repaid by the interest of the seryices, Glee Clue. Twelve gentlemen of our city who are rattier musically inclined have banded together for the purpo.se of establishing asleeclnb.

It goes without the savins to those who are acquainted with the musical talent of Wellington that this club will be one of the best in the state. and will do both themselves and the city proud. Heaven' Blessing, The glorious rain of Sunday and of yesterday morning has put Sumner county beyond all contingency of a fail ure of crops this year on account of lack of moisture. The wheat crop is an as sured fact. If there was any danger from chintz bugs this rain has destroyed me pests, xne ramiaii was enormous nnd wus beginning to be needed, but it has come most opportunely.

Sumner county puts on ft most glorious and blooming aspect now and the fine prom lse (ills the hearts of all with hope aid promise. Peak Sisters. These famous Alaska musicans should meet with a rousing benefit from the public to-morrow night at the new M. church. The thirteen sisters are posses sed of the most wonderful and varied musical talent both natural and acquired of any company of singers who wt rs before a Wellington audience.

They are said to be not only beautiful singers, but beautiful and graceful in form and in face The Wesleyan Society certainly should have their public spirit in bring' mg this troupe here richly rewarded by the appreciation of a large audience. Toniorlal Chet Dean and his brother have pur chased Newt Hooper's barber shop, Newt having withdrawn. This is one of the popular tonsorial establishments of the city, and it will lose none of its well won popularity by this transfer. Chet Dean has been connected with the shop for a numher of years, and is one of the most accomplished and artistic knights of the razor and shears in any country, and is a young man much esteemed for his industry and courtesy. His brother is well known here, and will add to the popularity of the shop.

If the citizens of Wellington want the easiest and clean est shave to be obtained anywhere, they will find it by calling at the shop of Dean Brothers. Advertising Their Town. The following shows how the local press and lienefits to be derived from ii uany ana weeKiy "write ups" is appreciated by the live towns, and strange to say, too. the towns thu mentioned have been phenomically succesful. The peonle of Tuscon.

Arizona, buy 8,000 copiee from their local paper every month for the purpose of sending it abroad, and in addition pay a month for special "write up," The town of Lamar, Colo, recently paid the local paper $1600 for a "writs up," and the citizens of Jj'ort Scott, Kansas, have just spent $7000 in ad vertising the town. Hutchison, Kansas, gives its local paper a bonus of $10,000 a year for remaining alive and kicking, while Newton, Kansas pays its paper $15 ,000 a year. There is nothing at all improper in this, as this money is paid for legitimate advertising. On the con trary it is credible to the citizens of those towns that they thus encourage their local papers, and at the some time benefit themselves. A'ew York Tribune.

Fire. At about (1:20 o'clock last evening the Ore bell began pealing forth its ominous sound and in a few moments the city was thrown into the usual amount of excitement generally manifested on such occasions. The fire was found to be in the drying room of Miller Price's cigar factory on South Washington ave nue and was getting under good hoad- way when the fire laddies reached tin spot. They soon had it under control, however, and the building was not injur ed to a greater extent than $100. The principal damago done wo to the stock, there being about $100 worth of leaf tobacco ruined by the fire and water com bined.

All thecigara iu the establishment were removed, also the furniture, and without damage. The stock wus insured for $800, and we are glad to know that the gentlemen will sustain but little loss by the mishap, It is supposed that the Are caught from a pipo in the ceiling the fire dropping to the floor after it started. The force had all gone to supper at the time of the fire, and it was discovered by a son of Mr. W. H.

Yesterday morning about five o.clock the lightning played havoc about the house of Mr. Beard in Rosedals. A year ling colt was standing by tlie side of the hous during the storm and was struck by the lightuing and knocked against the house. One two by four studding was broken and the siding broken up considerably. Luckily none of the inmates of the house were Injured though they were considerably frighten- ed.

Stucco. We called in at the Bock Island Lum ber Co. yesterday and took a stroll through their well arranged and well rill' ed yards piled up with a big stock of the various kinds of lumber in demand in this market. While there we were shown a sample of Stucco plastering which had just been put on the lath. Although not an hour old it was hard and firm and gave conclusive evidence of being most durable.

Mr. G. A. Jackson, manager of sales of the Hope Stucco Company was present with Mr. Burke, and he informed that on next Monday, workmen would com mence the plastering of three new houses for Mr.

Espy on East Harvey and the public or all of them who are interested in procuring a cheap and excellent plast ering are invitea to go there and exam ine fully the work and the quality of it. Capt. Gllmore. It was with feeling of sincere regret that we read in the columns of the Standard last evening the parting words of our friend Capt. Uilmore, who has been at the editorial helm of that paper during the past year and over.

Capt Gilmore came to Wellington about the same time that the editor of this paper did. Our relations durini all this time have been most cordial and friendly, personally. While we have had some political contests, there has been noth ing to mar in the least our warm friend- ly relations, and we are satisfied from the Dast there never would be. We do not know what has induced Capt. Gil- more to withdraw from the editorial sanctum in this city, but we hope that whether he remains in Wellington or con cludes to go elsewhere, that his lines may may fall in pleasant places, and that he may prosper and meet with that success his worth entitles him to.

Capt. Gil- more is a writer of force and ability, an unflinching but genuine foe in newspaper and political contests, and from our own intercourse with him we know he is an honorable gentleman. Counts- Fathers. xne Doara ol county commissioners met in regular session at the courthouse yestirday, after which the following bus iness was transacted: Report of the superintendent of the poor examined and accepted. umciai tionas of K.

Have you a friend in the east who would like a new home? Send him your paper. Subscribe for him it you are able If not send him your own after you have read it. A good ntwspaper which is always endeavoring to set forth the ad vantage of its country is the very best agent that can be sent abroad. It approaches the kind of a man wanted here in a silent manner, and finds him unsuspicious of any design upon the opinions of the country. It works on him quietly and assiduously until he finds himself desiring to see the country himself.

He then "goes west to take a look," prepar ed to find things as they are. He is par tially acquainted already. The newspaper has done more than a dozen agents in silk hats could do, and at a bundreth part of the expense. Ex. Railroads and the Press.

Only nine counties in Kansas remain without railroad communcation, viz: Garfield, Graham, Sheridan, Sherman, Haskell, Stanton, Morton, Stevens and Grant all in the extreme western part of the state. Branches are projected in to nearly all of these, and before the close of 1889 every county will be suppled with one or more lines of railroad. What a contrast to compare a map of Kansas published ten years ago with one recently issued by the state board of railroad commissioners! These great arteries of commerce have pushed on and on in advance of settlement until the vast territory over four hundred miles iu length by two hundred in width is gridironed by bands of steel. The railroads and press of Kansas have been the paramount factors in her matchless progress and advancement. The former blazed the pathway for the thousands who looked to this fayored land of homes and fortune, while the latter presented to them all the attractions, grandeur and possibilities of this giant young empire when her boundless resources should be fully developed.

These two great agencies vie with each other in all that tends to our growth and advancement. Both are essential in building up great cities, peopling our rieh prairies with the best citizenship of the land, and developing our inexhaustible resources. So that where steam drives, or engines throb and shriek, will be found the newepaoer, carrying to the less fortunate in otliersections the story of Kansas recounting, her trials and struggles, her wonderful growth and development, aud painting her bright fu ture from inspiration drawn from a fruitful past and bounteous present. Topekn Capital. Uood Any Way.

There are many thinking of changing their homes who yet know little of Kas. and to an invitation to try the state would answer "why?" "Why there rather than a dozen other states?" Come because Kansas is healthy. It is midway between the biting eold of the north and the enervating heat of the south. It also midway in elevation. between the low, damp malarious re" gions and the high mountainous parts of Colorado.

Here is the happy medium. The air is neither too heavy nor too light. If the necessities of your health require a moderately low altitude, the eastern part of Kansas is but 700 feet above the sea level. If you require, on the other hand, a moderately high alti tude, the west line of the state is something over 3,000 feet above the level of the sea. In the 400 miles between, Biire-ly the exact height to suit you can be found.

Many have come to the state in poor health come to die as they them selves express it and are now healthy and hearty, with good appetites, good digestion and good lungs. Come for your health's sake. Come because Kansas is a good place to better your financial condition. Kas is a good place for a poor man provided he is not poor because he is lazy. But don't make the mistake of thinking that all you have to do is to pick money off the bushes or gather it up on thastreets.

Money must be worked for in Kansas as well as elsewhere. It is the men of push and energy, thrift and economy who win here as everywhere. But the man who has these qualities has a better field for their exercise than in many another place. There are no trees to cut, no stumps to pull or stones to gather on Kansas prairies before a crop can be planted. The soil is fertile, the skies genial and I he wt-ather propitious for the gathering of tho crop after it is planted.

These things, the productive soil and the long season together with the cheapness of land compared with eastern states, combined to make Kansas a good place for a poor man to come to better his condition, providing he brings with him the same industry be would have to exercise to make a liv ing elsewhere.

Whet Make Party Strength, Republican Ascendency when regained can only be maintained by evidence that the party is controlled by them who demand honest economical manugementof affairs of the Nation in every department. Then partisanship is not the only thing to be gained by getting control of affairs. Partisanship should consist of true and determined loyalty to party, because the party is believed to be the most loyal the great interests of all the people If after the party gets into power it proves, recreant to the pledges it had made, on hich its success was founded as a matter of course it lost and should lose, the confidence of those whosuppor ted it upon the principle demand. Therefore Republicans of Kan-sas should bear in mind this fact that one of the surest ways to give the assur ance of good faith to the people, is not to depend so much onineredeclarationsi pledges or platforms, but to make their nominations of such men; as are them selves individually a platform; and whose cundidacy is of Itself proof that tho princinjos of the party will be coined out if they are elected.
