TILTON, Editor. Saturday, June 6f 1885. The judicial committee' met at Millbrook on Monday. B. F. Morgan represented this county. The judicial convention is called to meet at Millbrook on July 25. If vre ever receive a copy of the proceedings, we will perhaps be able to name the basis of representation, as well as to give the reason of the commit tee for calling the convention in the hot test week in the year and at least sixty days before any work will be done in the interest of the nominee of the conven tion. A TOUCHING TESTIMONIAL. The petition of the Trego county bftr and our county officers to Judge Pratt to be a candidate for Judge again is a step which the World fully endorses. Whether we have spoken of him privately or through the columns of the Wobld, the gist of our remarks has been that, in the case of Judge Pratt consent ing to become a candidate, we would sup port him against the whole of any pos sible field of candidates which could be made up. There are other good lawyers in this district, who would make splendid judges. When one of these gets the po sition, he will be almost sure to want it for at least two terms. We believe that Judge Pratt's health has so far improved that he could afford to fill the position for the coming term. If he consents to become a candidate, we see no reason to doubt that he will be nominated trium phantly on the first ballot. Wo have a worthy judge. It would be the proper thing to retain him. -Water plentiful. -Summer is in session. Hotels mark! crowded?

Any one desiring to borrow money on chattel security can find it at the Trego County Bank. We received a pleasant business call on Tuesday from Mr. E. H. Borton, a lively land agent of Ness City. Mr. P. McFarland, the genial pro prietor of the hotel at Buffalo Park, was in town on Monday and Tuesday. Land looking is going on with vigor, but, as far as settlement in Trego county is concerned, it is not remarkably rapid. A correspondent of the Dodge City Coivboy says: "Ealpk Frick, of Wa Keeney, is visiting his many friends in our little burg." Some two-legged capering conun drums got in their fun Wednesday night by putting McKnight Bros.' sign against the front doors of the bank, hauling Wer lich & Kershaw's middle-of-the-street wagon in front of the owners' doors, and hanging a barrel on a post a little further down the street. Six dollars and sixty cents per acre is the price for which Mrs. Ben C. Bich purchased forty acres of land at the school land sale last Saturday. The rest of the quarter section was knocked off to her at $4.05 per acre. We do not mean to complain at the lowness of these prices. Tho board of county commissioners met on Monday as a board of tax equali zers. Thej were in session off and on till Friday forenoon, when they adjourned, to meet again next Monday to finish their work. The assessor's returns from Gove township are not yet in. Glaring omis sions in the returns of the taxable prop erty in this township have been discov ered. The assessed valuation of prop erty in this township is reported as being lower this year than it was last! DISTRICT GOURT DOINGS. Some Things Seen by a "World" Reporter as he Jostled through the Crowd. The proceedings of the district court will appear next week. Judge Pratt is as cheerful as ever. He stops at the Oakes House. , Jolly James Beeder, of Hays, is among the bar tenders. He makes a full hand. We acknowledge a pleasant call from Judge Nellis, who has been one of the "couriers." David Bathbone, Hays City. A Trego county court without David's presence would be like an Indian war dance with no Indian there. E. A. McMath, Grainfield. Mr. Mc Math is coming to the front as a lawyer. We heard his argument in the Gove county tax case commented upon very favorably by an attorney who was on the ether side. Owing to the judge missing a train, he did sot arrive in town until Monday evening. The court was called Monday Biorning, and adjourned to the following day. The tune of the court has been folly occupied. The final adjournment will be reached to-day, (Saturday.) Parties wanting domestic cattle of all ages, see E. H. Borton, of Ness City. Kan.

The Program of Exercises Well Executed. May 30 opened beautifully, and turned out to be what many were pleased to call a perfect day. At the usual hour for such arrivals, people began to pour in from the country for many miles around. The people seemed as happy as the day. About 12:30 about an hour before the expected time the special train carrying Senator Plumb, the orator of the day, pulled up at the depo. Very many hearts were unexpectedly made glad by the arrival on the same train of the Ellis Post, G. A. B., and the Post drum corps, a lot of fine looking sons of veterans, who also were handsomely uniformed. There were also a number of other visitors on board the train. After everybody had had the privilege of enjoying an elegant dinner at either some public or private house, the hour of 2 o'clock had arrived. The procession was then formed by Marshal Carson, in front of Grand Army hall, very nearly in accordance with the program, the Ellis Post and their drum corps occupying the most advanced positions. On the way to the cemetery, the procession was marched over the ground which was named in the program. We estimate that a thousand persons were in the procession. The appearance of the grand body of men, women, and children, as they moved over the prairie, filled with wonder the hearts of the stranger. He could not see whence, on these seemingly barren plains, so many people could emerge. On reaching the cemetery, the pro cession was halted, and the members of the Grand Army were drawn up in line just to the west of Comrade Fuson's grave. Here the chaplain prayed, and the commander delivered his address. Both did elegantly. Good music was sent forth. Tho graves of all the com rades were 6trewn by fair hands with a wealth of flowers. The salute was fired by Ellis Post. Three volleys were fired. The ceremonies at the cemetery, and getting back to town, caused it to be about four o'clock before Senator Plumb could begin his oration. The opera hall had been seated, with the idea on the part of a person or two who, we insist, don't know quite well enough the rallying qualities of our people that the crowd would be so small as to "look bad in the raw air." Well, the upshot of the matter was that there was not one-half room enough in the hall to accommodate the crowd; and after the front of the opera building had been reached from the cem etery, the scats had to be moved onto the ground, and the organ "sent tumbling a'ter." Of Senator Plumb's oration, we could not well speak too highly. His delivery was calm, dignified and strong. He spoke of the debt which the nation nation owes its defenders; of the repairing of the great armies of the Union to their homes, and their falling into such civil pursuits as would render them independ ent and useful citizens; of the part which they have played in opening up to settlement of the great legion west of the Mississippi. The speaker's remarks called forth frequent applause. All his auditors were glad that they had heard him. Soon after the conclusion of the oration, the Ellis Post, drum corps and others who had come from Ellis on the special train, started home by the same convey ance. Of the conduct of Marshal Carson, his assistants and all others who had a part to perform in shaping to success the ex ercises of Memorial day, the Wobld here records: Well done, faithful servants! The 30 day of May, 1885, is one which will long be remembered with pleasure by the citizens of Wa-Keeney. Its results are a monument to the devotion of them selves, to all other witnesses of the cere monies, and to the flag of their common country. Married. Websteb Brown.
