CONSPIRACY UNEARTHED
A Diabolical Strike at Our
Liberties.
Send Troops and Money Quick,
CHAPTER I.

CHAPTER /.
BY superhuman vigilance and q
decisive strike, Policeman Martin
on last Thursday night nipped in
the bud foul and atrocious con-
spiracy that threated to undermine
the peace of the nation and revive
the horrors of inquisitional kuklux-
ism. The terrible catastrophe
scarcely averted makes the heart
blood run chilled-trembles the
stoutest nerve-abashed and APP
palled, stony intrepidity doubts its
own right arm. A sigh of relief
oozes from the bosom of the com
munity and ascends like sweet in
scents, and rides upon the billowy
cap of associated press breezes that
center in Washington and are suck
ed into the illimitable expanse of
presidential ears, supplicating for
troops and money to keep the spec
tire down. To the facts:
The night was still, serene the
skies,-the day, long spent, IN dark
ness dies, and Morpheus, creeping
slyly, tries to hush the ears and
close the eyes of all creation. The
silver moon, daring to rise meekly
through streaking cloudlets prys,
with beams as soft as lovers sighs-
when 10! the air is rent with crys
and exclamation Hist! Hush!
What's that! Be still and heart
o chilling cries! o rampant fear!
What great calamity is near? o
heaven, why hast thou closed thine
ear! Dost thou not answer prayer
and tears and supplication? The
police comes with rushing feet
madly they plunge up 1st Main
street! The foe, abashed, COM
mence retreat, leaving their victim,
sore and beat to liberation. "Res-
cued;" she cries-she was a she.
ga female woman thus to be bull
dozed, kukluxed by a banditti, right
meath the tree of liberty! o Gre
mationr' With stride colossal,
mighty tread, she hastes where
Justice lifts its head-recites her
woes in language red with horrid
detail, madly fed to Inflammation.
His Honor, quick percieving, saw
twas right that vengence, armed
with law, should bring these bull
dozers to taw and crush them in it's
mighty jaw-annihilationl Detec-
tives, trained in schools of craft,
with bloodhund scent went fore
and aft, and soon brought in upon
a raft the 'spirators, who grinned
and laughed in desperation. The
law was read and counsel spake-
the town did mighty interest take
the culprits placid as a lake-His
Honor judgment then did make
and condemnation: "The law of
man, the law divine, peace, quiet,
o-der--these combine against you
and with them jine and give to
each a dollar fine, and liberation"

The Opera.

Pulaski never had the opportuni
ty before to hear real opera. Or
last Wednesday evening Payson's
English Opera Company produced
at Antoinette Hall, with fine effect
Flotow's Opera, Martha. This op.
era is very popular and comprises
some of the finest musical selections
extant. Miss Rachael Sanuels as
Lady Harriet, soprano, and Miss
Adelaide Randall as Nancy, con-
tralto, are two of the most beauti-
fui women we ever saw upon the
stage and their voices are charming
ly sweet, full and elegantly tuned.
They are al fat in character pre-
sentation. Mr.. e. S. Payson as
Plunket and Lord Tristan, baritone
and bass, will doubtless rank first
class even before an audience edu-
Gated to the divinest standard of
opera music. Mr.. Alonzo Hatch as
Lionel, tenor, is very successful.
Tenor singing is perhaps the most
difficult of any The strain upon
the voice often necessary to pro-
duce a pitch is severe trial upon
the throat and it is evidence of a
good voice if it does not soon show
slight discord. Mr.. Hatch's voice
seemed to improve under it, rather
than diminish. He has been criti-
cized too severely, in our opinion,
for he is an excellent singer. We
are sorry that it is the way of Pa
laski to crowd minstrel shows, and
then pay such poor tribute to so
refined and elegant an entertain
ment as this. 1t reflects seriously
upon our taste. There was a good
audience, however, and we believe
if they had played another night the
house would have been crowded.
They will probably return shortly.
