Belle Wrisht, daughter of lion. K. M.
Wright. of Dodge CtijVaged 20 years.
Mm Wright went to the list Springs about a
week previous to her death. Her father and
mother were summoned to her bedside, the Ut
ter coins on Saturday and the father on Sunday.
Mondav evening a talegrun was reccited an
nouncing tbe death of the jsang lady. Tne de
ceased lud been in delicate health ior several
years and her death created no surprise though
our cltltens received the annouacernenl with
feeling of sorrow and regret. Miss Wright was
a latorite with Dodge City people. Her kindly
offices in matters of charity will long be remem
bered. Kindness was a diattnguished trait ol
her character. Though an invalid her duty was
impelled to ths relielef others. Modest, dlgnU
Ird and courteous she was endeared to all who
were acquaintance and friends. The deceased
young Udy's presence will be sadlv missed In
Dodge City aociety. There will be a void in the
tamilr circle, for a kind and lorlng slater and
daughter has gone to another sphere. The citi
lens of Dudge City generallr sympathise with
the parents in their bereavement. Goodness,
charitv and kind deeds soon bring forth eood
fruit. In her bodily suoering was found relief
through past acts ol kindness. If the lire In the
hereafter is a we lived on earth death would
not be a sweet contemplation to mot mortals
Hut the deceased tnrough years prepared for a
bliaalul hereafter. God is merciful and God is
kind. Death carries away the good. The bad
die also but the sweetest, the belt and the ten
dereat succumb to the avenging band earliest.
If there. is a heaven. If there are angels there tbe
spirit of the deceased haa found Its last resting
place, to abide in peace, lorlinessandgooanees.
The family and mends of the deceased have
our warmest sjtnpathy in their sad berear e
ment. The plucking of the lair flower of their
household is a sad blow and may God in Ilia
goodness assuage their grief and comfort them.

Service is now had on the Taecosa
route. The service began on Monday morn
ing. The Globe last week "flew all to
pieces" over some supposed omission in
Congressman Ryan's course in mail mstters.
We are glad to state that prompt action was
taken and the mail line established. Tbe
coincidence the Globe's attack and the
mail service is remarkable. There is noth
ing like "itflcoecte," newspaper in-flooence."
The railroad company has graded ground
for the laying of thirteen miles of track for
switches in the vicinity of the round house.
Workmen are filling up the bottom of the
main track and on this trade will be con
rtractedelde tracks covering a space eighty
feet in width. We should judge from Ihe
number of switches that the railroad com
pany intends doing a big business at Dodge
cay.
Rev. Adams Peabody delivered an inter
esting discourse in the Union church Sun
j :.. TV. Tinnnr furnishes his
htaisn with food for thought sad rsBection. abovs nsmed parties.
The Globe has not yet expressed itself on
the Dolitical situation. We know the
Globe is a thoroughbred and displays the
Republican ticket at its masthead, but we
are interested in knowing how the Globe
feels on St. John, the co'orid candidate and
the woman's suffrage question. Frost is a
candidate for county attorney and this lack
of political display may be attributed to
that ca'ise. II tbe editor is sincere in nail
ing tbe ticket at lbs masthead, he ought to
give some expression of sentiment wby he
does so. Tbe mere display of his flag may
be a truce. We accord to him good mo
tives. It isn't time for him to pat in. Ihe
canvass is not warmed up yet.
According lo the announcement made in
the churches Sabbath evening a nnmber of
the christian) ladies of this city, also by invi
tation Bros. Blanton and Hart, met at Sister
Hoeetes', on Military Avtnue, lor ihe pur
pose of organizing a Ladies' Union Prayer
meeting. Sister Cartwright was appointed
to conduct tbe services of the evening. She
read those portions of scripture pertaining
to woman ministry as found in the four
gospels and then invoked God's blessing
upon the meeiing. It was agreed that Ihe
next meeting be held on Ye ednesdsy even
ing at Sister Armstrong's and that lady del
egated to lead the meeting.
Agents along the line of the Santa Fe
road have been- notified that they must
charge half fare for all children over five
and under twelve yeais of age.
The atmosphere is lovely since the rain.
The odor of new mown hay is now wafted
on thebreez;.
The public school of Dodge City will
