News came Wednesday by the Kansas
City Journal that Jacob s. latter had
been confirmed by the Senate postmaster
at Emporia. Hank Lowe came around
and said he thought he was the man
that he had had much experience in mail
matters, and asserted that he was the
man intended. His features fell little
when we picked up the Leavenworth
Times, and showed him that it was not
latter at all who had been confirmed,
but that the new postmaster's name was
Jscob 8. Lotter. Hank turned away sad
~, and We are now looking for brother
Jay.

The Mistletoa Bonrh.

This beautiful pantomime was per-
formed at Bancroft hall Friday evening
before a select audience. The following
was the cast of characters:
Mrs. Cleaver as the bride; Capt. Som
mers as Lord Lowell, the bridegroom;
Maj. Biggers, the baron; Mrs. Higgins,
the Baroness; Misses Kitty Hood, Car
RE Hall, Allie Riggs and Mabel Bryant,
as bridesmaids, and Messrs. Fred New
man, Frank Payne, ]. A. Hemsteger and
Charley Cleaver as groomsmen. In the
may pole dance were Misses Estelle
Cinqmars, Bell CarsW I'll, Minnie Elan
nigan and Josie Trask, and Messrs. Joe
Murphy Frank Payne, Ben Wheldon
and Frank Goodenow. ]. Jay Buck
was priest, and Mrs. Biggers, Mrs. Mar
zetti and Mrs. Cunningham, guests.
We can speak of only few prominent
features. Mrs. Curry sang, in a clear
and powerful voice, the beautiful song
which the pantomime represents. The
may -pole dance was an attractive scene,
and was very prettily and accurately
danced, and needed only more vivacity
and gayety to make it perfect. The
stately Virginia reel, chosen for the we'd
ding dance, might also have been danced
with more gayety and zest; otherwise ii
was finely done by all who participated
The costumes were very good, and the
brides veil a triumph of the lace-mak.
ers' art. The wedding scene preceding
the dance was well rendered, and the
congratulations showered on the happy
groom and blushing bride were hearty
and natural, as was the clinking of glass
es as the party pledged health and long
life TO each other. The search, portraii
and discovery scenes were very fairly en-.
acted. Mrs. Cleayer's pose was a living
life-size portrait, being admirably taken
and remarkably well held throughout.
The song by Maud Cunningham and
Berthe Curry was sung as if by two
little orphans-brother and sister
and pleased the audience wonderfully
The commedietta, s'The Boston Dip"
was enjoyable, and particularly we'll rem
dered for an amateur performance. "Mr

The eow-SelI on the brindle steer
There was noise on Fifth avenue
Saturday 1ningIing and jinggling of
cow-bells. Ar first the people thought a
drove of Texas steers, each having bell
on, had been suddenly turned loose in the
town. With others we gazed. There
seemed to be body of cow-beIls, with
out the cows, in motion. slowly making
its way westward, no." AS it came
closer we soon saw there was little pony
under the bells, and behind aqueer-look-
ing object that resembled small bHffa-

object was a-man, and no other than our
reverend fellow-citizen, Chaplain Lewis
Lutz, taking sleigh-ride The whole
outfit presented pietursgue appear
ance, as it moved west at the rate of ten
miles in i've hours. We pitied that pony.

P. S.-We learn, just before going to

The Santa Company % Push IL Through.
Since the pubF1stion OF our item last
Friday, announcing the purchase Of the
Narrow Gauge by the Santa Fe, we have
been informed BY gentleman who is
officially connected with the latter, that
our statement yesterday was correct. and
that the Santa Fe company win push the
work vigorously, and have trains running
at an early day. This is gratifying news
to the people at Emporia, and Eureka
and along the line of the road The
Santa Fe is one of the most energetic
companies in the west. Its business is
managed with superior skill, as is attest
ed by the fact that its stock to-day is at 3
higher figure than that of any other west
ern road. understand that the stock
of the branch from Florence to Eldorado
is commanding 81 cents on the dollar,
and undoubtedly the branch from here
to Eureka would be worth as much We
do not know what proposition will be
made in relation 10 the bonds voted for
the Narrow Gauge, but whatever 1t is,
we shall make it known 70 our readers
so soon as particulars are learned,
Our Greenwood county friends have
long wanted a railroad, knowing the
advantages il would be to them, and we
have felt and said at different times thai
the Marrow Gauge seemed sure Of con
struction. We have always been anxi
GUS for direct railroad communication
with Eureka, and desired the construc
tion of the Marrow Gauge on their &C
count as much as our own. But disap
