ADJUSTMENTS.
Golden Hnir and Three Bears.

Never, perhaps, i'll the history of our
city was the amusement-lOvlng public
more pleasantly entertained than in
the presentation of this little play last
evening Apart from the added zest
impaired by the interest felt
III the performers being of local iden-
tity. there was in the rendition of the
several parts that which eXacted the
utmost enthusiasm from the large and
brilliant assembly present.
The opening scene, Chorus Of Forest
Children" in which fifty little Waco
girls appeared, WAS itself sufficient to
thrill the assembly with pleasure and
fully reassure the doubtful as to the
complete success of the entertainment.
Not a little girl in all the number that
was not only well up i'll her part, but
III spirit and expression seemed to the
Dlanor born. Appearing IN this scene
as " Golden Hair" Miss Clara David
maintained throughout, the frequent
floral tributes offered only fifty

As woodland Queen Mrs. Wood
ward, though with but little time for
preparation, proved herself fully equal
to tine situation, and in each of her
several appearances did remarkably
well. As Faithful hiss Fannie
Little and Miss Ida Clingman I'M
parted new charms to the character,
while as "Lightfoot' Miss Jessie
Kirkpatrick and Miss Daisy Smith
were each "a daisy" and no mistake.

closing scene between 'Lightfoot Airy |
and 'Frailty," Misses Caldwell and

" Airy" with fine effect, while as "Will |

Miss Fannie Tibbs were fairly dazzling, |

TOO GREAT HASTE.
q Drummer Hunting for His
Missing wife.

Thursday afternoon a middle-aged
man was seen on Austin avenue and
Third street, rushing about in an eX-
cited manner and making hurried in
quiries concerning the Whereabouts of
his wife, who, he said, had disappeared
suddenly and mysteriouslv from
his fond gaze. At last accounts
his efforts to find his missing
spouse had proved unavailing. mves-
tlgation revealed the fact that the
mans name is NJ. NJ. Crenshaw. who.
until month or two ago, was travel
ing for a St Louis boot and shoe
house. His discharge resulted from
incorporate actions in Bolton. He
then came 20 this city, some five or six
weeks ago, and soon formed the ac-
quaintance of Mrs. Harris,a widow ladv.
and on an acquaintanceship of several
days only the couple were married, and
took rooms at the Central hotel. Cren-
shaw gave Mr.. Scarborough a note of
considerable amount as security for
board, but failing to show up any
money the proprietor Thursday morn
ing insisted on their vacatiug his house,
which they did Coming mp street Mrs
Crenshaw waited in a Third
street store, while her husband
went, as he said, to consult a LAWYER
concerning his dismissal from the
hotel. After an absence of an hour or
more Creushaw returned for his wife.

money, but talledj IN obtaining it. From
all an EXAMINER reporter could gather
Crenshaw Is not at all prudent busi-

Some Facts 1OEocaI
Members.

The following item, which is clipped
from the Sherman COurier-Chronicle
of Tuesday, viii prove of interest to
local members of the Ancient Order
United WOrkmen, and perhaps stimu-
late the Waco lodge to a hearty further
ance of the effort to institute state
grand lodge The Sherman paper says:
Sherman Lodge, No. II, \. 0. L. W,
had at its last meeting twenty-six ac-
cesslons to its membership, thus rails
ing the number of members to fifty
seven. 1t Is the wish OF this order in
this state to get a separate jurisdiction
for the state OF Texas, retain their
funds in their own hands, and pay their
own losses, thus lessening the number
and amounts Of the assessment at least
one half. The membership of the
order III the United States at this time
Is over one hundred thousand. In
Texas there are sixteen hundred mem
bers, and 1t requires two thousand to
Withdraw from the supreme jurisdic-
ton. The grand lodge of the state
Will meet in Sherman on the second
Tuesday in January, next year, and
will give this matter proper considera-
ton. Meanwhile the individual mem
bers will do all they can to secure the
requisite number of members to with
draw from the supreme jurisdiction"

Some Figures ApprONimatin2
the Shipments and
the Eieid.

In its commercial review several
DAYS since the EXAMINER gave some
crude estimates as to the probable
number of bales of cotton Waco has
received so far during the present
season. In that estimate the number
was placed at 1900 or 1900. From
subsequent information that estimate
is Judged to be approximately correct.
Up to yesterday evening the compress
had pressed l0,56S bales, starting upon
September 5. Since that date, it IS
safe to say that not to exceed 800 bales
have been shipped impressed, which
would make, in round numbers, 11,OO0
bales Of cotton shipped since Septem-
Der ;. In the five days preceding the
opening Of the compress there was re-
ceived not to exceed 1900 bales, max
ing the total shipments to date 12,5OO
bales. Assuming that $500 bales are
held in stock, which is not IA large esti-
mate, it would give $4,000 bales as the
amount received since the opening of
the season on September l. On the
same date last year the compress
