Trunks Of every style and cheap, At Franks

TIE CHRISTOPHER CoNC ERT-Thc concert on
Tuesday evening at Turner Hall and exhibition
Of pictures by Mr.. Bowman with his Scopticon,
for the benefit of the Kansas and Nebraska grass
hopper sufferers, was cminently successful in
every point Of view. Though the admission fee
was placed al the low figure of p cents, the net
receipts were trinc over $4,000 Mr. Bowman's
ScioptcOn is really very pleasant arrangement
for exhibiting all kinds Of pictures to the very
best advantage, and the number and variety he
had to show was all that could be desired. The
quartet singing by Mcssrs. Harrison, Smith,
lfobert and Kendall was also exceptionally fine,
while BartclS with his comic songs and charac-
terzations, it is needless to say, made "heaps Uf
fun" and Dagcn kept him in time and tune by
his piano accompaniment,
The committee Of engagements who had
tlc whole matter in rharge, desire us in their
behalf to return especial thanks TO Mr.. Bowman
for his services in the matter, and to the Turner
Society for giving the Hall, heated and lighted,
free of charge, and also to the quartet singers,
and Mcssrs Bartels and Dagen, for their vclun-
tary contribution to the entertainment without
charge. The result both as to The large nun.
Der in attendance and the character of the en-
tcrtainment was in the highest degree crcdita-
BILE to the Management and all concerned.

Last Tuesday was ground hog day" on which
the tradition says, If the ground hog comes out
and sees his shadow he goes back and stays six
weeks; but if he don't see his shadow. he stays
out Well, there was no sunshine in these parts
on Tuesday, and the ground hog, If he came out,
saw no shadow; but as the day ives villainously
cold, We have our doubts whether the groxzd
hog was simple enough TO come sxt at all, ct If
he did, shadow or no shadow, our opinion is he
scooted back with all'the eYpesfeion he wss ca

SENATOR SHERMAN made a telling
speech in the U. s. Senate last week
on the Louisiana question. After an
able review of the whole situation in
which he sustained the President and
Gen. Sheridan, he e.c0ncluded in the fol-
lowing words:
He said he did not wish to be under
stood as including all the people OF
Louisiana in his denunciatiOn of the
White League. He recognized the
difficulties under which those people
labored-the mixed population, the
depression in business, and all that.
What he wanted was justice to these
PEOPLE. to all of them, and he wanted
this Senate to do them justice. II they
elected a Democratic Legislature, in
Gods name let them have it, but let
them have it according to the forms OF
law, and then let there be equal pro-
lection for all the people. This is What
we want and what we will have. Obey
the laws, respect the rights of others
and then if they have the majority lei
them have the government. He Wa.
twilling to vote for anything which he
could lawfully do 20 secure TO thest
people the right to govern themselves

WE have been aware for some time
that Lon2ley had huge bump for ly-
ing; the facility aud ease with which
he exercises this faculty was made
manifest again in his smut machine last
week. He charged us with being the
author of an article in the Gazette,
which made very damaging show
up of the economical salary grabber.
The day that the article appeared in
print, we returned fro'u two weeks,
absence in the East, and knew nothing
whatever of the article until it We;
published. John knew WHEN ne pen

OF course, he is totally irresponsible in
