Who has not heard of the famous Duprez

listened to their versatile and comic imperson-
atoms with delight, and almost wonder? They
appear at Granite Hall on this evening only,
coming with augmented talent, and with a
troupe and band enlarged, remodelled and
improved; although their friends will wonder
where the improvement can come in, as they
were almost perfect as Ministries before. They
will doubtless be welcomed to-night by an
overlooking house. Tickets tor reserved

A gentleman is in the city with petition
to which he is gaining signatures, asking the
Maine Legislature to protect the moose in our

inaugurates speedy measures of protection.
The present law is found inefficient. The pc
titon asks that the killing of moose should
be prohibited for five years, and that the eff
GERS of the law should be authorized to seize
hides of moose at any time during the five
years. The petition will be left for sigma
lures at the bookstore of Horace North.

August SantOf, aged perhaps As years,
shot and killed himself at his residence,
in Newton, on railroad street, not far
from the round house. He had been
unwell for some time, and his domes-
tic relations not having been of the
most pleasant kind, intermingled with
q sufficient quantity of liquor to fur
nish a variety in his feelings, is
thought to have driven him to despera-
ton. AS his wife reports it, (who was
the only person present at the time)
he went to a trunk, and taking out a
loaded revolver, placed the muzzle to
his mouth, fired, killing himself almost
instantly. The ball lodged in the up
per and back part of his head. SanEof

THE CANTATA.

The cantata-''The Twin Sisters
rendered at Bancroft hall Tuesday
night for the benefit of the Congrega-
tional church, and Wednesday night
for the benefit of the Emporia Library,
was in every way a complete success.
We have not room for details. "Ex-
cellent" might be given as the true
verdict for each and every one of the
young ladies connected with the can
tata. Mrs. Jennie Bearce and Miss
Ella Trask represented the sisters, and
their fine and cultivated voices were
brought into full play. They were
equal to the high expectations of the
audience. These two ladies and Mrs.
G. w. Newman got up the the concert
and managed it throughout, Mrs. B.
drilling the singers in their various
parts.
The ladies were appropriately dress
ed, and besides singing well, were
very graceful and altogether charm
Ing. The rendition reflected much
credit on the manager as well as the
performers.
We must also notice the fine music
of Waite's Emporia orchestra. It was
accompanied on this occasion by Mrs
Sewman's charming and excellent
performances on the plano. The mu.
sic of our orchestra was one of the
most pleasing features of the enter
tainment, and we unhesitatingly say
that Emporla can boast of as good al
orchestra of the same number of in.
struments as there Is In Kansas, no
excepting Leavenworth.

The above is q fac smile of label we
are placing upon a whisky we have sue
ceeded in getting control OF with some
difficulty. All Of the physicians to whom
we have shown 1t pronounce it superior
to anything yet brought to this market for

Almost all writers and eminent prac-
ticioners of medicine admit and recon-
mend whisky-when OF good Quality-as
preferable IS medicinal agent TO brandy
for various reasons, the most important Of
which is: 1t is much more likely to be Of
good quality, as its mode OF manufacture
is simpler; its action in low feVers as 3
diffusive stimulant is equal to brandy in
potency, while it does not produce the
painful burning in the stomach so often
complained OF when brandy is used; in
staying The waste of tissue of consu mp
ton Of the lungs, nothing, except it may
be cod liver oil. has yet been found to
equal it. The above being true, the diff
ference in price should be taken into con-
sideratiOn, which is quite an item usually
to those who are SO unfortunate as to be
i'll. A single trial OF our goods we are as
sured will convince the purchaser 1t is
something superior TO anything they ever
used of the kind.
