REMARKABLE RAIN.
The
Best April Bain Which. Ever
FeU in Trego County :
Since Her First Settlement.
Came Just When It Waa Weeded,
Our
People Almost Too Happy
for Utterance.
They Are Farming to Get There!
The Prices of Land. Enhanced.
Weather Trophets Given a Very
Black Eye.
Forestry Receives a Boom.
Vegetation in General Coming Out,
and.
Inviting Tour Admiring Inspec
tion. Our people were surprised nearly all
along at least at short intervals from
Tuesday morning until Wednesday even
ing. They had not believed that the
furious winds of a few days previous had
been pumping for them a supply of rain
water such as has rarely, if ever, fallen
upon the face of this region in the early
part of April. Had they made a correct
guess of wnat tne winas .were wording
for, they perhaps would have spoiled its
symmetry by attaching the prediction
that the rain would come with a driving
storm.
As it actually was, rain began to
fall very early last Tuesday. The wind
what little there was of it came from the
southeast. It remained in that quarter
until after the rain ceased to fall. This
means until Wednesday night. The rain
fell almost incessantly during Tuesday
and a good portion of that night. Oc
casional showers fell during Wednesday.
The rain at Wa-Keeney wound up
Wednesday evening with a heavy fall of
water. The entire rainfall at Wa-Keeney
aggregated about two inches. Little or
none of it was .precipitated from where it
fell, and our main water courses have not
been swollen. The ground is in the best
possible condition for agricultural pur
poses. The real estate market has a much
better defined bottom than it had a week
ago.
The weather prophets think this rain
hit them hard, but it seems to cause them
no pain.
The forestry work will just hump itself.
The whole face of the country looks up
with a merry twinkle, and promises to
come out within a few days looking as
pretty as a peach!
BAND BOTS.
Their
Entertainment
Success.
a Thorough
The entertainment by the Wa-Keeney
uornec .Dana ivionaay evening was a
thorough success. The elaborate pro
gram was carried out fully. Opera Hall
was well filled by an appreciative audi
ence. Frequent applause greeted the
music both vocal and instrumental
and the recitations. Miss Bessie Kelly
and Mr. S. H. Kelley presided at the
piano, and brought forth most charming
sounds. The recitations and singing
were marvels of elegance, and pathos.
They were conducted by Doctors Farmer
and Morgan and Messrs. B. P. Blair and
Quivoy. Every member of the band did
so well that to mention one would neces
sitate the mention of all, but we must
congratulate E. F. Porter as being a
model manager of entertainments. We
are lacking in time and space to particu
larize further. It is our conviction, how
ever, that our band is growing to be one
of the best bands in the state.
The receipts of the entertainment were
$67.50, an amount which of itself speaks
of the general interest that was felt in
behalf of its success.
We are requested to return the thanks
of the band to the quartette for their ser
vices, and also to the artists of the piano.
A Residence Burned.
From Mr. W. W. Walkey, of Gove
county, we have received the particulars
of the burning, Friday night of last week,
of vthe residence of J. J. McMain and
family, five or six miles southeast of
Sloey, in that county. The residence
was a good frame building, and the
fire is supposed to have been started by a
pack rat. At the time, Mr. McMain was
at Gove City, where he had. a job of
carpentering. His wife and their two
children were in the house, and awakened
from their slumbeis barely in time to
save their lives.
Mr. McMain is a hard worker and a
member of the G. A. E. order. One
hundred dollars in money were raised in
Gove City for him and his family. There
was to be a general sewing patty at Mr.
WalkeyXfor the benefit of the family.
MABBIAGE MATTERS.
MABBiED--At 'the residence of the
officiating minister, F. H Walker, Thurs
day, April 14, Thomas O. Rpberte of
Ogallah, and Miss Thursey Richardson,
of Wa-Keeney.

1887, by Bey. Father CBrian, P. Ml
Killoughey, of Westmeath county, Ire
land, to Miss Annie Sharkey, of St
Louis, Mo.
St. Louis papers please copy.
Mr. Killoughey is a young man of
Lpleasant address, who looks like he has
come into .the New West to build a
home. He expects to locate in Greeley
county. The World wishes ninr nd
hi& prosperity.
. . 'Forestry Fencing.
C. G. Tetter has been employed by
Commissioner Robb to build a three
wire fence around the portion 'of the
forestry station at OgaUahwhich has been
under cultivation. Of this, there are about
thirty acres.
Arbor Day in Trego County.
This is too early fop the World to
give any extended Teport of the observ
ance of Arbor Day in Trego county.
We. are prepared to say now that a great
many trees were planted by the people of
Wa-Keeney and many other portions of
the county. .
Bohrer and Beard.
We hear that, in the case of Wm.
Bohrer, the painter, vs. W. C. L. Beard,
the plaintiff was late in reaching the
trial, and Justice Groft dismissed the
case, on condition that the defendant pay
ten 'dollars, and the costs. Bohrer was
after seventeen dollars.
Bichards Bouted.
The county attorney, at the time set
for trial before Justice Hutzel on Wednes
day, dismissed the case of the state vs.
George E. Fuller. The points in this
case were related in last week's World..
Geo. Bichards was the complaining wit-;
hess. The county had the costs to pay.
They amounted to about one hundred
dollars.
A Cheerful" Correction.
Last week we published that Doctors
Conger and Jones had s conducted the
post mortem examination of the body of
Frank Ames. That is the way it was.
told to us. Since then, we learn that Dr.
B. F. Morgan was not only present, but
actually performed the dissection. He is
said to have done an excellent job. We
t take pleasure in making the correction.
Failed to Materialize.
There was to be a trial in Justice Hut
zel's court yesterday, but it did not ma
terialize, on account of the complainant,
a person named Branard, ascertaining that
the witnesses for the state could not be
rallied. The case read State of Kansas
vs. Moulton. The defendant was
charged with selling liquors illegally at
Winona, Logan county.
Arbor Day at Hays City.
Star Sentinel, Thursday.
To-Day is Arbor day and we are glad
to note that it is meeting with general
observance by our people. We believe
more capital has been invested this spring
by our citizens in fruit and ornamental
trees than in any year previous. Martin
Allen delivers an address before the
schools to-day, and even the children
have caught the fever and tree planting
is the rage.
The Baker Land Case.
In the examination, at the U. S. land
office this week, into the facts connected
with the charges made against Mr. A. B.
Baker by Special Agent Thomas, quite a
number of witnesses for each side were
present. The prosecution found nobody
to testify to such absence of Mr. Baker
from his claims as would, under the law,
work their forfeiture. It occurs to us
that the case is settled in Mr. Baker's
favor, and that the government ought to
reimburse him for the useless expense
to which its agent has subjected him.
Sunday School in District 10.
On last Sunday the citizens of school
district number 10, (seven miles south of
Wa-Keeney,) organized a Sabbath
school by selecting the following officers:
Superintendent, Geo. Baker; assistant
