THE CITY IN BRIEF. To-morrow is the last day of school. Base ball on the 30th, in this cityLyons against Sterling. The west bound passenger train was four hours late this morning. Capt.

Kline says he will have forty men in line on Decoration Day. The Opera of "Patience" was repeated last night to a full house. McVay Kline have about the nobbiest screen doors in the city. The clouds wore a threatening look last evening, but not a rain drop fell. Are you going to Nickerson this evening to attend the W.

R. C. festival? Holmes Gregg are putting up a canvas awning in front of their billiard hall. The Odd Fellows are papering and painting their lodge room, and otherwise beautifying it. The City Council meet in adjourned session this evening, 1 to consider the water rates ordinance.

D. A. Banta, one of the leading attorneys of Great Bend, was upon our streets this forenoon. The bells will ring merrily this evening for the marriage of Mr. Harry Lloyd and Miss May Porter.

With Jim Armstrong as chief engineer of the street sprinkler, Broadway is kept damp and free from dust. We will at all times cheerfully publish any church items of interest, if the same are furnished us by the pastors. Mr. Y. V.

Featherby, of Ellinwood, spent a few hours in the city this morning, taking in the sights peculiar to a live western city. Mrs. Joe Mitchell left for the East this morning, to be gone three or four weeks. She will visit friends in Michigan, Ohio and Illinois. Col.

Donaldson was not as well yesterday, but is better again to-day, and was out in a carriage this afternoon taking in a new supply of ozone. Company of this city, has ordered forty-two white helmets, in which it will appear next Monday, during the Decoration Day parade. The store building of Mr. Otto Salomonski is being treated to a coat of fresh paint, outside and in, which adds greatly to its general appearance. The carbonized walk being put down on the Monroe street front of the Rice County bank will be a good one, as Cale Hodson is engineering the job.

Mr. Joe Roetzel, of Arlington, Reno county, came in this morning to take the train for Ellinwood, but had to wait three hours, the train being that much late. The masons were not at labor on the water-works building to-day, for the want of hard brick for the outside face, this being the quality called for in the specifications. Next Saturday evening the regular election of officers occurs in the I. O.

0. F. lodge, on which occasion all members in regular standing are invited to be present. Mr. Elias Bee has come to the conclusion that paying rent is a burden, and is now at work putting up a fine residence on East Main street, near that of W.

C. McVay. Memorial Sunday (May 29,) will be appropriately observed in this city, but what the programme will be we are unable to say, the ministers not furnishing us with the copy. Mr. B.

De Ford, of Miami county, spent a few hours yesterday with his brother John, and left last night for the West, where he goes to buy a section or two of Uncle Sam's rich domain. An accidental breakage of the power press in the Gazette office, will cause a slight expenditure of cash by the proprietor of the Republican, who was using the press to-day printing a real estate paper for Mr. W. P. Fulton.

The Lyons papers record the death of Charles Embree, which sad event occurred at the home of his brother, R. F. Embree, in that city yesterday. The deceased was formerly employed in the Republican office, and was much loved by all his acquaintances. A BULLETIN reporter asked Patten Himrod for an item this morning, but he said he didn't know anything.

"The villain still pursued him," however, and caught him in the butcher shop of the Osthoff' Bros. sampling some home-made head cheese, from which it would appear that Pat knows good cheese when he sees it. Corn, shelled. Corn, ear, Wheat 704080 Butter, per 1b Lard, per tb. (4.00 Eggs, per dozen.

Magoftin opened the doors of her spacious residence to a few friends of Prof. Hallock in an informal reception to Mrs. Hallock, who expects to leave to-morrow morning on her return to their home in Chicago. The following guests were present: Prof. and Mrs.

Hallock, Hon. R. F. and Mrs. Bond, Mr.

and Mrs. J. T. Gaskell, Rev, and Mrs. Edmunds, Mr.

and Mrs. G. F. Kellogg, Mr. and E.

J. Knowlton, Dr. W. M. and Mrs.

Lamb, Mrs. E. H. Cole, and Prof. S.

W. VanDeman, A very pleasant evening was passed in the brilliantly lighted and elegant parlors, interspersed by a visit to the dining room where refreshments of ice cream, strawberries and cake were served, and then to the music room, where Prof. Van Deman favored the company by rendering Capricioso by Chopin, on the piano. The guests took their leave at a late hour, regretting the necessity of Mrs Hallock's so speedy departure. Mrs.

Hallock, during her brief stay, has won the esteem of all who have met her, by her quiet and unassuming manners, and the Prof. and herself would be gladly welcomed as permanent residents of our city by a large number of our people, and the number would be greatly increased could our people become better acquainted with Prof. and Mrs. Hallock any know and appreciate the unselfish spirit and untiring energy displayed by the former in the great work he has done for the schools of our city during the time he has been with us. It cost some of the boys a little extra to see "Patience" last night, but they were fully repaid by the excellent rendition of the opera, they claim.

Cowgill has announced his intention to retire, at the close of this college year, from the chair occupied by him in the Faculty during the past two years, in order to take up again his business relations in the Sterling Gazette. Coming from business life, without recent experience in teaching, Prof. Cowgill had the very difficult task of inspiring confidence among students of a critical age; but his uniform interest and diligence have won the respect of all his associates and pupils. He carries back with him the kindly regard of all; and many will miss both while himself wishes and his for agreeable family, their prosperity follow them. hattan Industrialist.

-Ice delivered every morning to any part of the city by d10 FURSTENBERG BATES. The writer went last Sunday morning to Raymond for the purpose of procuring additions to the building fund of the Baptist church in Sterling. Of course the Baptist church in Raymond was the objective point. Ordinarily, a visitor on such an errand is not sure of a hearty welcome. In this case the visitor had been invited, and the welcome was warm and hearty.

The pastor, Rev. J. N. Barbee, (whether by accident 'or design) had for his subject the duty and the measure of Christian benevolence, using Paul's words (2d Cor. viii 9) as the foundation of his discourse.

Large giving, "according to that man hath cheerful giving, with "a willing mind;" -well the sermon was too big to be crowded in the space allowed me. Suffice it to say that the statement of the gospel rules for giving, its motives, its manner, and its measure, as illustrated by the voluntary poverty of our Lord, was lucid, incisive, forceful. The church numbers about 150, seems united and harmonious, and is a powerful good in the community. After the sermon the plans and necessities of the Sterling church were presented, and in a few minutes $90 in cash and pledges were raised. As, owing to the meetings and Sunday schools being held at or near the same hour in country neighborhoods within the bounds of the church, the church was far from being fully represented.

The result was a large sized surprise. But those large-hearted, open Raymond Baptists are not satisfied, and intimate that "more and more" may be expected from them. And now, Messrs. Editors, allow me to report progress slow but sure. The rock for the foundation are on the ground, plans and specifications are nearly ready for the contractors, and the first installment (one-third) of our subscription is due.

We shall have the needful to go forward with our church building. P. BRANCH, Chairman Building Committee Sterling Baptist church. MARKET REPORTS. Grain and Provisions.
