do WELLINGTON DAILY PRESS. L. RUNYAN, Editor. WELLINGTON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 11, 1887. VOL.

3, NO. 432. THE DAILY PRESS. The full associated press dispatches are printed in THE PRESS the same day the Kansas City morning papers reach this city. Don't miss seeing Minnie Maddern to-night.

The Browns have a Mascot in the shape of a little white lamb. Mrs. S. C. Lewis has bought a $135 organ of E.

C. Dodson, for her daughter. Brick work on the Scandrett and on the addition to the Arlington is progressing rapidly. The streets are muddy enough this morning to make it disagreeable for pedestrians and teams. A pack of about one dozen dogs were seen prowling around the streets in a body this morning.

B. A. Ellsworth's new frame house on west Harvey avenue is about ready for the first coat of paint. The sum of $22,45 was donated for the relief of the Prescott cyclone sufferers by the citizens of Wellington, 80 Al. Hirons reports.

A birds eye view of this city was taken from the water tower yesterday, by Mr. Hunter, operator at the Roger's photograph gallery. All bids for the buildings on the building site of the new M. church, on corner and Fourth streets must all be closed this week. The dog catcher is on the war path to-day and is capturing all dogs found running at large that have on no collar.

They are taken to the pound. The Winfield Telegram characterizes the Santa Fe shops "boom" as a very ancient chestnut. That is what people are beginning to think over here. State Senator White has been awarded $20,000 damages against W. E.

Carr, an editor for defamation of character. Carr disposed of his paper and fled the state. There are about a thousand too many dogs in Wellington, and the dog catcher is after those whose owners do not think enough of them to pay the necessary five or two dollars. The constable of Sumner county came over this morning and took J. M.

Brown back for trial on the charge of getting money on false pretense. This is the man who beat our real estate men out of The Wichita Beacon recorded but thirty-five real estate transfers, yesterday. A few weeks ago they would run up into the hundreds, daily. The real estate boom has given way to the business boom. Constable Jack Watson went over to Winfield, yesterday and brought back one Joe Brown, charged with procuring Simon Graybeal's signature to a promissory note for $260 under false pretense.

Undge Neudstadt will hear the case next Saturday afternoon. Col. S. Rothwell sold his beautifarm situated one mile west of this city to G. W.

Rasure, of Wellington, last Saturday for the sum of $8,500. Mr. Rasure will now increase his large herd of Holstein cattle and stock the farm with the best breeds.Sentinel. One of our transfer men, Jas. Hoover, met with quite an accident this morning in the alley in the rear of C.

A. Hall's grocery, which resulted in the wagon beiug overturned and the load consisting of a number of coal oil barrels was thrown over on the mules. No serious damage was done. The Daily Globe and Torch, of Cherryvale, has suspended publication. The proprietors announce that they take this step after almost two years of work night and day to get it on a paying basis.

The newspaper men of Wellington ought to read the Globe's valedictory before they start any more dailies over Visitor. There is no longer a doubt that the letter purporting to have been written by Parnell indorsing the Park assassination was a forgery. And yet the London Times and politicians of its way of thinking are still using it against the Irish leader. No more despicable political warfare could well be conceived; and yet it but a fare sample of English treatment of everything Irish. The seats for Minnie Maddern are being well taken.

The Normal school committee is in session, this afternoon. The crossing on Lincoln and Jefferson avenues is about completed. Go to Rogers photograph gallery for a fine bird's eye view of the city. The dealers in camping outfits are doing a good business in outfitting railroaders. Marriage licenses was granted yesterday to David E.

Rodgers, age 24, and Cara J. Barnes, age 20; both of Dublin. There were two more new bicycles arrived here this morning. One belonging to Chas. Millard and Chas.

McMillan, which is fifty inches, the other is forty inches and belongs to Ed Rasure. The city printing was awarded to the little Chip last night at 84 per cent. of legal rates, being the lowest bid. This is one way "to build up and advance a city," but it is a very poor way to make any money out of the printing business. The Abilene Gazette is now a six column quarto daily and well patronized with advertising.

The Gazette was the first paper in Kansas in a town of less than six thousand inhabitants, to attempt a morning daily, and deserves the success it has attained. Ernest Ingersoll in the June number of The American Magazine will describe the "Last Remnant of Fron-a position of our country near the northwestern boundary, which was an unsettled and almost unexplored wilderness until penetrated by the Northern Pacific railroad. A granger living near Boston lately found three $500 United States bonds in a hole in a stone wall on his farm. And yet there are agricultural papers of standing which pretend to say that the farm lands of Massachusetts are exhausted and that to find truly productive soil one must go West. This farmer living near Boston has doubtless decided to stay east.

The following are the arrivals at the Washington Avenue hotel to-day: A Longman, Henderson, Wichita; Geo Stewart, Ross, city; Wm Fullagan, Peter Egan, Norwich; Louis Brake, Pickneysville, Ill Sergel McKee, Mansfield, Ill; Carson, Oxford; Glime, Tim Kennedy, Wichita; Lemon, Mulvane; RM Hood, Garrett Hurst, Charles Brown, London. In the case of H. Q. Hood, tried this afternoon in the probate court, Mr. Hood was adjudged of unsound mind and incompetent to transact business.

A guardian will be appointed to look after his financial interests. Mr. Hood is well and favorably known. He is the inventor of a force pump and several other valuable patents, and his mental prostration is attributed to overwork and severe mental strain. It is to be hoped he will soon be able to take control of his own affairs and regain his health.

Minnie Maddern is the possessor of grace, ability, magnetism, sympathy, attraction, piquancy, naturalness and sexual charm. There is no more delightful, unaffected little actress on our stage, and in the peculiar phase of character delineation, which is her forte, she has no equal. In Steele Mackaye's version of Andrea--In Spite of All-in which Minnie Maddern appeared a year ago at the New York Lyceum, reluctant praise was the characteaistic feature of the reviews of her most charming bit of sentimental acting as the wife. Caprice is a nicely-treated version of a very old time-worn stage story with a common main idea. Every theater-goer knows "The Unequal Match" the two plots are substantially similar.

In Caprice, the scene is laid in New England, and the local character drawing is cleverly done. As Mercy Baxter, Minnie Maddern displays all the qualities which distinguish her, and realizes a bit of sweet, simple, affectsonate and passionate womanhood, which sends a warm thrill in one's veins. The naturalness of her acting in all its details, is well-evidenced by manner in her wedding dress, and her exhibition of her Francisco News Letter. Trent or PERSONALS. -Dr.

Selling Groceries to the Farmers, and Taking Negotiable Notes. A very slick man is traveling through this county selling groceries to the farmers. He sells what he calls "eighty dollar lots," that is, goods to: the amount of eighty dollars, taking the farmers' notes, payable one year from date. It is not so much the amount of groceries or the quality. that attracts the farmer as it is the promise for the future, which the slick talker makes.

He is going to revolutionize the grocery business, and sell the farmers all their goods at wholesale rates, etc. In fact, they say he will promise almost any thing in order to sell a bill of goods and get a note for eighty dollars. These notes are, of course, sold as soon as possible. When the farmer receives the bill of goods he is disappointed, both in quality and in quantity. In fact, can get better goods for less money at the various grocery houses in Wellington, The operations of this individual have been carried on, on an extensive scale.

One man informs us that he has sold eighty bills in his neighborhood, or over six thousand dollars worth. Special Mention.

"Y-e-s, that's so, muttered the man as he pulled himself in and sat down, "and the railroad would hop on to me for damages. It's better to be on the safe side." -Detroit Free Press.

J. G. MEYER, Opposite the New Bank. Eastern people wonder why Kansas can stand such prolonged dry spells. The explanation is simple.

The water from the mountains flows eastward through sand and gravel over the rocks and but a short distance below the soil, More water flows east under the ground than flows in rivers; hence there is always some moisture ascending to the surface, and this is what sustains vegetable Republican.
