A delegate convention of the Repubbcans of the SJrlh congressional district of the State of Kansa3 will be held in the city of Ruell, Kansas, on "Wednesday, May 2d, 1888, at 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of nominating one candidate for congress, and one presidential elector. Tho basis of representation In said convention shall be-one delegate and one alternate for every 200 otes or fraction of 100 or over of votes cast for Hon. E. B.

It is recommended by tho committee that tho county convention to elect delegates be held not. later than April 14th, and that the chairman of the county central committee report the list of delegates and alternates elected at once to the secretary at Stockton. , , ... By order Sixth District Central Committee. Laf. C. Smith, J. H. Franklin, Secretary. Chairman. Hats City is to have a, creamery. Sharon Springs has a barber, at last' It is Lcadcr-ed. that Sharon Springs is soon to have a bank. Do not neglect to plant a large patch in broomcorn. S. C. Bamey, of Hays City, and Miss Carrie Ellsworth, o Williamsburg, Pa. were married on Friday of last week. The Millbrook and Hill City papers amid the din of the county-seat racket are "fairly frothing on the opposite sides of their mouths to "save the country." Southwestern Kansas, the Garden City Sentinel says, has two hundred news papers. Yes, she has so many little coun ties that by the time each of them has a paper or two, the aggregate number runs away up. J. Gr. Slonecker, member of the execu tive committee of the National Republi can league, for Kansas, and Hon. James "W. Hamilton, vice president, have decid ed, the Commonwealth says, to call a state convention of Republican clubs of Kansas, to organize a state league, on March 21. You remember that country which our "barbarian" geographers call Corea. Its proper name is "Chosen," pronounced cho sonn. For the first time, that coun try is sending ministers to foreign coun tries. Correspondence between this government and -that will have to use the term "Chosen," for the present, at least. A typographical "bull" in a Kansas City Star editorial makes Mr. Mills chairman of the Ways and Means Com mittee of the house, say, with reference to the work on the tariff bill: "We are mov ing slowly for thetreasonthatitissuch'an important subject." In the light of the Democratic idea on the tariff being trea son to the commercial interests of the country, this error becomes a great truth! Senator Fry is said to be pushing in vestigations to determine whether we are living under an American or a European administration. Senator Chandler does not question that we are living in an anarchy, instead of a republic; and his energies are being devoted to seeing that the colored vote of the South.is either to be permitted to be cast and fairly counted or deducted from the basis of electoral and congressional representation. Nei ther of these senators can make things a whit too lively in his chosen field. Henry Kerfus, a 16-year-old Hays boy the Sentinel announces, has been sent to the county jail for ten days on the charge of stealing a can of oysters. Presumably, the can contained either fresh or cove oysters. That paper neglects to state which. But the reading of this item set lis to thinking of how long that justice conceding his jurisdiction would sen tence a fellow to jail for on the charge of stealing a hundred-dollar horse. If that boy stole cove oysters, the time would be thirteen years,. eight months and fifteen days; if the stolen oysters were fresh, the horse thief would get five years,five months and twenty-five days in jail. ARpOlt DAY. Governor Martin has appointed April 4 of this year for Arbor day. Last year it was April 14. The change in time is a good one. We suspect that ex-County Su. perintendent Bich, of this county, had something to do in bringing it abouti At any rate, he, a short time ago, wrote to the governor, rec ommending that Arbor day be placed earlier than it had been in the past. jBEe received a reply from Governor Odartin to tne enecu mat nis sug gestion would be considered. BLAISE BALKS. , last week tlie World stated the existence of strong rumors that James Gr. Blaine had determined not to be a candidate for president in 1888. . For onee, these rumors had a solid foundation. Chairman Jones, of the National Republican Central Com- mitte, has received from Mr. Blaine, who is in Italv. a letter containing the statement that his name will not go before the Republican con vention as a candidate for the presi dential nomination. The World would like to regard this edict of Mr. Blaine's as conclu sive in his case; because, as long as he has Mr. Conkling's mulishness to contend with in York state, his chances there are doubtful, to say the least. But, in the light of Mr. Blaine's magnetic influence through out the Republican legions,' it occurs to us that this declaration of his will have the effect of uniting in columns still more strongly serried his friends. If his friends shall see fit to use his name as a candidate for the nomina tion, he will be powerless to prevent it. - MEET AFTER SEVEN TEARS. Last Tuesday, at Beloit, we met for the first time, in the flesh, that bright news paper man and genial gentleman, Hon. W. S. Tilton, of the Wa-Keeney "World. Every week, for the past seven years, we have jerked his paper out of a pile of ex changes and said to ourself, "Here is the Wa-Keeney World, Tilton will say some thing." And he has never failed us; he has always said something and to the point. He has proved himself a news paper man worthy the name. Gaylord fterald, Feb. 2. We (two) met then, as friend HeaGlley says, for the first time, in the flesh. We then took chairs at one side of the Avenue Hotel office, and had a visit. It was a case of love at first sight. Among the ob servations which came early was one to the effect that the two visitors were as well acquainted with each other as if they had met continually during the time in which they have been exchanging .papers. This at tachment which so often develops between newspaper men is one of the compensations of the treadmill busi ness. Mr. Headley is a humorous, versatile, strong writer; and we would consider t a week well nigh lost in which his Herald failed to come to our table. A NEW PAPER. We acknowledge the receipt of JRohrer's Sunday Chronicle, who-e first appearance was made last Sun day at Abilene. This new paper, as may well be imagined from its name, is intended to fill the atmosphere Kansas Division, Union Pacific rail way, with Eohrerism in politics, Rohrerism in the method of dishing up the home news, Rohrerism in volubility of general reading, and Rohrerism in versatility, spice, vine gar and the thousand other conde nients which must go toward the fill-up on an eight-column, eight page newspaper each week. We know Gr. W. C. Rohrer. Last win ter he reported legislative proceed ing for his then phenomienal daily, the Abilene Gazette. Socially, he is one of the best fellows of our ac quaintance; politically, he is true blue Republican . There is no doubt' that Rohrer' s Sunday Chronicle will thrive. We want to see it'do so. QUINTER QUIVERS. , Guide, 18. Will Turies returned to his olaim north of Ogallah, last week. Prof. A. H. Dray visited Wa-Keeney last Sunday. He will soon remove his family to this city. ' We learn from a reliable source that John A. Nelson, of Wa-Keeney, will be a candidate for State Senator from this district this fall. No more accomplished and honorable gentleman can be found in iliis district, to fill such an important position. We hope he may be the nomi nee, and if so, be elected. Miss Anna Slade met with a very pain ful accident last Tuesday evening, in the way of taking a dose of carbolic acid in stead of a medicine for sore throat. The doctor was-summoned immediately, and at present writing she is said to not be in a dangerous condition, and able to write an article for the press on the effects of carbolic acid. Quinter is arising to an air of dignity, so much so as to be mistaken by a travel ing man, last Tuesday evening, for Wa Keeney. His mistake was not noticed until after going up town and searching for the Commercial hotel, when to his surprise, upon inquiry, was informed that he was in the city of Quinter, and not Wa Keeney, as ho supposed. He remained, until yesterday, J January at the Hallway Station Through the kindness of Agent Morton, we are able to announce the following business at the Wa-Keeney station for the month of January, 1888: Freight receipts 4,166:45 Passenger receipts i 805 15 1., . Good "Work at "Wa-Keeney. Agricultural College Industrialist, 11. Professors Kellerman and Walters re port an earnest three days' Institute at Wa-Keeney last week, with an attendance varying from one hundred down. Threat ning weather was somewhat of a hind rance to enthusiasm, but good work was done in many directions upon the con stantly recurring questions in Kansas, . Lands Yet Open to Entry. The late report of the'lands yet open to entry in the Wa-Keeney land- district re-, veals these figures: COUNTIES. ACRES. Thomas 1,000 Logan ." 20,000 Scott 2,000 Sherman 1,000 Wallace 20,000 Wichita 3,000 Greeley '2,000 51 Portions of these counties extend into other land districts. Peach Buds Alive. In company with Mr. Cyrus Monroe, we drove out to the Ewalt peach and apple orchard, a short distance southwest of town, Monday afternoon. Mr. Monroe, who is an experienced grower of peaches, testecLbuds on a number of the peach trees, showing some of them to us. They are alive, and, in the absence of some un foreseen calamity, there is bound to be a heavy crop of peaches on this plaee this year. The World takes unalloyed pleasure in sending this good news to central and eastern Kansas, where, in many localities newspapers have reported the peach buds winter killed. The Eussell Convention. Lee Monroe, W. S. McGinnis, Geo. J. Shepard and W. S. Tilton went to Bussell Thursday morning to attend the conven tion of real estato and other business men in that city. The convention was largely attended, comprising delegations from each county along the U. P. from Dickinson to -Wallace, inclusive, and from the counties of Pottawatomie and Cowley. Early in the deliberations of the meet ing the fact became apparent that any ornanization which could be effected at Bussell on that day would dip too far in to eastern Kansas to make it advisable for the western counties along the TJ. P. to be connected therewith. In the afternoon all the delegations from the counties of Trego, Gove, Logan and Wallace withdrew from the conven tion, with the understanding that the people of these counties will meet at an early day, and organize an immigration association. Later on, it was determined by these western delegates to call a meet ing for this purpose at Grainfield on Thursday, Feb. 23, 1888. It was agreed that the counties of Graham, Sheridan, Thomas and Sherman be invited to co operate in this movement with the other four counties named. Mr. Maxwell, of the freight department of the TJ. P., was at the Bussell conven tion. He informed various delegates from our western counties that he would be pleased to attend the meeting at Grainfield, and do all in his power in the way of granting railroad concessions ,to our people. The fact is, the cheap lands along this line of road are in the few western counties, and here is where an immigration organization should be or ganized. As we were going to remark concerning the Bussell convention, the counties of Ellis and Bussell controlled the meeting, and refused to concede the presidency or the secretaryship to any of the four west ern counties. This was accomplished by the convention tabling the report of "the Committee on Permanent Organization, which had named J. H. Brady, of Abilene, for president, and Lee Monroe, of Wa Keeney, for secretary. The convention then proceeded, among other selections, to select A. L. Voorhis, of Bussell, presi dent, and Mr. O'Shant, of Hays City, secretary. For the kind treatment of the Eussell people, everybody at the convention was bound to be thankful. This fact was talked of freely by very many. The hos pitality of the city in raising a large f nnd for the payment of the hotel fare'of the large body of men who were at the meet ing, was given general praise. Among the leaders in this kind treatment, we de sire to mention particularly the names of Mr. A. L. Yoorhis, and Mr. E. L. S. Boughton, the editor of the Bussell jrournal. The western delegations came home in th e evening. The convention at Bussell als o finished its work late in the afternoon. W. H. Lee, county treasurer of Lane county, has been in town since Wednes day noon. He has fallen under the ban of Inspector Thomas, on the ground of claiming land which should revert to the government. It is hard we came near using a harsher and really more appro priate term for a man who has braved the hardships of buffalo-grass-covered Lane county for nine years, and who has .. a good portion of that time printed a good newspaper remote from any town or hamlet, to be sat upon for trying to defraud TJncle Sam out of a piece of lanJL 11 the government were to pension Mr. Lee for the rest of bis life, it would not then repay him for the suf fering he has endured, in the pioneer work of placing western Kansas in a con dition which enables government revenue to be paid by her population. Probate Judge Conger was quite ill on Tuesday. The Franklin House has been leased by J. IL Avery. Quarterly meeting to-morrow and Monday at the M.E. church. C. L. Vaughan is now making Hutch inson, Kan., his headquarters. Cashier Wilson, of the First National, was quite sick early in the week. W. S. McGinnis is down the road appointing agents for the publishing house of which he is general agent. Misses Lillie Harrison and Lillie Smith now hold positions as clerks in the contest room of the government land office. A board fence has been built around the well at the Commercial House. The fence also extends some distance to the west of the well. Mr. Spicer informs us that wild ducks are thick aloncr the Hackberrv. On this fact, he bases the prediction that spring is mighty close here. On Wednesday the Masonic Grand Lodge of Kansas convened at Junction City. T. B. Monroe went there as a dele gate of the Wa-Keeney Lodge. 'Squire McGarvie was in town on Wednesday. He . and Mrs. McGarvie, both of whom were quite sick only week before last, are quite well again. The debating club at the Downer school house has tackled the tariff ques tion. This is right. It ought to be de bated at every school house in the land. Deputy U. S. Marshal Boberts, of this city, was up in Graham county the fore part of the week, summoning wii" nesses in the case against W. B. Hill and others. We are told that Werlich & Kershaw have purchased a stock of goods in Den ver, and opened up business in that city. We understand that Mrs. Kershaw started to Denver yesterday. The old settlers of Collyer township meet at Collyer to-day (Saturday) ot ar range for the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the settlement of the town ship. The celebration is to take place at Collyer on March 17. The Wilson Haivkeye backs the World in nominating Wa-Keeney as the place for the coming senatorial convention. F. E. Jerome knows Wa-Keeney. He used to work on the World. "Gentlemen will not, and loafers must not. smoke in the presence of ladies.' This confronts those who enter the wait-' ing room at our railway station. We congratulate Agent Morton upon the vigor of his authorship. He has the right idea. A feather-renovating man left here on Wednesday for Ellis. In the fifteen days he was in Wa-Keeney he cleared ninety-five dollars, Frank Frick tells us. If this does not speak volumes for the cleanly instinct of Wa-Keeney people, we want to be posted. Mrs. Fuson's institute address, which we publish in this issue, deals with facts, and we bespeak for it a general reading. In the exuberance of our early boyhood, our first inclination was to develop into a merchant. We never did so. Before the time arrived, we viewed the business a good deal as Mrs. Fuson pictures it. Last week a liquor permit was grant ed by Probate Judge Conger to Dr. M. H. Farmer. The granting of the permit was contested on the ground of defects in the wording of the petition, and that some of the signatures to the petition are illegal. An appeal from the action of the probate court has been taken to the district court. Candidate for Postmaster. The alleged edjtor of the thing in the basement is reported to have in circula tion a petition to have himself appointed postmaster at Wa-Keeney. In this local ity he stands less show of getting any in fluential support than a crippled wart would stand of swimming ten miles to save its fife. But it is claimed that some fellows abroad are working for him. Therefore, a meeting has been called at Opera Hall at 8 o'clock this (Saturday) evening, to express the indignation of our people at the proposed appointment of such a thing to such a position.
