GIRLS' CONCERT PLEASED MANY Th: Fairmooat Glee CIcb Gare kinsky a High-Class Entertainment. The Fairnount Girls, who gave their concert in the Congregational Church Thursday evening, under the auspices of the Ladies Society, delighted their audience, as usual. It is always a pleasure to all of us to have these young people visit our city. They bring an atmosphere of jollity that is very gratifying and pleasing. Their coming is always the occasion of many little social activities among the young people of our community.

The young -ladies arrived on the noon train. They were entertained in the hospitable homes In our city, and during the afternoon of their stay many little social courtesies were extended to them, and in the evening after the PROGRESSIVES OF COUNTY MEET And a Connty Org aniiation of Party Was Perfected Friday Kig bt Quite a number of ladies and gentlemen came out Friday evening for the initial meeting of the Progressives, in this county. Three speakers from abroad were present, W. Dawson, of Great Bend; T. C.

Wilson, of Lamed, and C. C. Isley, of Cimarron. Doctor Schrad-er, of this city, acted as chairman, and introduced the speakers. Mr.

Dawson was first presented and made a very short talk. He explained that he had been, too busy to prepare for the occasion, and then told briefly why he was in the progressive movement. He does not impress one as being an orator or very ready speaker, but one can not help but be impressed with his earnestness, and sincerity. He was followed by Mr. Isley, who told why he was a Progressive and made it perfectly clear that the Progressives hould vote for anyone else, before voting for Bristcw or Capper.

He was followed by Mr. Wilson, who, by the way, is an orator or no mean ability. He spoke at some length and mildly but firmly took a shot at both Democrats and Republicans, showing by contrast that the only really right thing to do was to vote with the Progressives. Before closing he also the branding iron, hot from the flames cf the outraged feelings of the Progressives, a'nd firmly planted on the brow of both Capper and mark of Judas. At the close of his speech, he asked for a county organization.

By unanimous vote Doctor Schrader was ehesen county chairman, and Dr. C. C. Sterrett, coumy secretary. Fred Mosher was chosen committeeman for Trenton Township Zene Spurrier, for Wayne Township, and C.

L. Motz for the 2nd precinct in morning and evening, and will hold regular services hereafter. Before beginning his regular address Sunday morning, Mr. Williams, made a brief introductory talk, in which he outlined his attitude towards the community and to his work. kThe basis was helpfulness and friendship, a combination that will win in any place.

His sermon pleased his audience. Mr. Williams has a good voice, a good delivery and a sincere and forceful manner, that interests and attracts his hearers. The pleasure in the service w2s added to by a strong choir which lead the singing of the hymns, and a solo by Mr. Culbertson, who has a pleasing tenor voice.

A somewhat larger audience greeted Mr. Williams in the evening, when he added to the pleasant impression he left in the morning. Taken all together we feel that the community is pleased with the new paster cf this church and will extend to him friendly greetings and helpful hands. Confirmation. Sunday, April 5, was a great day at the German Lutheran Zions Church, nine children were confirmed, two of those were first baptized at 10 a.

m. The children marched into the church one by one all singing "Jesu geh voran." Miss Meta Dubberstein softly played the organ to the song.

A Good H. V. Adams closed our lecture course last night, and gave, what is said to have been, the best num- ber of the season. His lecture was on the power, of suggestion and he successfully worked an old joke. He remarked that the air seemed to be rather had and took a little vial from his pocket and said he would sprinkle a little peppermint'on the floor, and asked that as soon as any in the audience noticed the odor they should hold up their hands.

In a few minutes a lot of hands went up. He looked them over and remarked- that his point had been demonstrated, as he had not poured peppermint on the floor but just plain water. He captured his crowd and left them hoping that they might hear him again. Wednesday Evening Club. The Wednesday Evening Club met with the Misses Morse last evening.

Kill Skunks with Cjtuci stone.

Dodge City, April 3.

Glenn and his assistants have spent several days at Spearville surveying the town, trying to get the streets out of some of th3 property owners back yards, and trying to get soma of the residences out of the streets as shown by the surveys.
