LIKENS TO THE FRONT AGAIN
The warning notice Of Wm. Hopper
and John Il. Clayton, published in
this paper, Of self is suggestive of
something crooked. Briefly stated,
the facts, as we gather them, are !;
Peter Clayton having died and left
his heirs ignorant of. his interest in
certain school lands described IN the
advertisement upon which claim
of the State, amounting to about
800 recently fell due. Lilkens, talk .
ing advantage of the ignorance of
the heirs, proceeded to Madison and
bought up the certificate. which he
refuses to surrender, though offered
handsome bonus above what would
be considered equitable by any
fair-minded person. The property
is said to be worth some $4,000,
which Likens evidently aims to
gobble up for less than as many
hundreds.

of the poor demonstrated conclu-
sive.y two things: First, that we
have in our city some excellent ANA
teur dramatic talent; and second,
that the poor are held in kind re-
membrapce by tho people. The
drama "Among>the Breakers" is one
full of merit, and giving an oppor-
tunity for displaying a variety of
talent, such as was employed, to
good advantage. The several char
acters were SO well sustained that to
say who did best wonld be a difficult
task for far more competent critic
than our reporter assumes to be.

The excellence Of the performance
gave evidence of much study and
careful consideration of each part.
An attractive feature of the enter
tainment was the excellent music,
which was generously contributed
by the Hoare Brothers orchestra

The total receipts amounted to

young ladies of the company among
the poor of the city, was over $50.

by all. That these can be obtained
for the pittance Of $500 per annum,
out of which $500 expenses must be
paid, it is unreasonable to suppose.
Ii the Office is not worth enough to
the school interests to justify pay
ing competent man ut least Sl,0O''
per year it should be abolished. Prof,
Soaring says:
