Hon. j.. s. pnnrord,s condition.

Usage City Free Press: Mr.. J. s.
Danford is very i'll and it is impossible
to tell when he will be better. His pres
ent condition is the result of concentra-
ton of causes, starting from the terrible
shock to his nervous system at Caldwell
and going through more than year OF
anxious business work, eliminating in
the disappointment of a business trip to
Denver and terminating in complete
cerebral exhaustion and paralysis of
the brain. Seventeen days ago he was
brought home from Denver in a state
of dementia from which there has been
very little improvement. DIR. Eastman,
of the state insane asylum, has been
here in consultation with his family
physician and agrees with him that
there is little,promise -otispeedy recov.
cry, but that with faithful care there
will probably be recuperation and res
toration to mental and physical vigor.
This statement is made by the authority
of his physician, DR.. w. L.. Schenck of
this city.
In regard to Mr. Danford's business
matters We know nothing tangible.
Prior to his trip to Colorado, after a
long and patient effort, his Caldwell af-
fairs were on the eve Of settlement, and
would have undoubtedly been settled
only for new and unforeseen difficulty.
One of the stipulalions of the settlement
on the part of the Caldwell creditors
was that suits of both Danford and the
cashier, w. D. q. Smith, now of Fort
Worth, Texas, for damages should be dis
missed. Mr.. Smith, it is said, demanded
$1,000. This neither the Caldwell peo-
pie nor Mr.. Danford were willing to
pay. Negotiations with Smith were
pending when Mr.. Danford was pros
trated by his present sickness. We know
too little of his affairs to make any state.
ments or even guesses as TO the result.

"DAvY CRocKETr.r

On every succeeding occasion En-
poria people demonstrate beyond
doubt that first-class theatrical enter
proVal. The large, intelligent and fash
ionable audience which assembled at
Whitley's opera house last night to
witness the presentation of "DavY
Crockett" by the renowned comedian,
Frank Mayo, fully attests the fact that
the people of this place appreciate the
efforts of the managers in endeaVoring
to furnish them with class of enter
tainments far above the usual run.
While there may have been few
weak points about the play, there were
very many strong ones, and these were
so overpowering.us tc cause the specta-
tor 10 almost entirely lose sight of any
Imperfections. that might have existed.
Frank Mayo, as "Davy Crockett" was
indeed grand character. The nobility
of his nature is something that cannot
help but appeal to the nObler sentiments,
even of the most debased of human
beings. His self=sacrificing disposition
in the most weightv, as well as the most
trivial matters, is trait that all man
kind could well afford to consider and
pattern alter.
Miss Laura Clancy, as Eleanor
Vaughn" was good character, and
person quite worthy of the affection of
so noble man as Davy Crockett. But
she would have been Il less noble and
attractive woman under the influence
of any one else than DavY Crockett.
AS the sun shines upon the moon and
causes it to beam with beauty, SO does
the nobility of character possessed by
Crockett shine into the soul of Eleanor
Vaughn and cause 1t to reflect the beauty
and grandeurof his own nature.
The cast throughout is one of the best
that now supports so distinguished an
actor as Mr.. Frank Mayo, and gthe pub
lie everywhere will not fail 10, appre.
ciate this play from beginning to end.
There is nothing in it that can in the
least offend the most ehasie and tastid-
ious. 1t is ~ puEs as the scenes from

Emporia is turning out some finely
dressed ladies this winter at the opera
house entertainments.
Who was the interesting specimen of
humanity on one of the front seats the
night of Uncle Toms Cabin, who kept
fitting flask up to his lipsY and what
did he have in that flask: Was it cough
m edicine? If it was "budge'' he ought
to have been led out and given profita-
BILE lesson in manners.
That was an interesting bevy of young
ladies that attended Gen. Bailey's lecture
Thursday night, and sat back pretty
well towards the door, who kept gig
Cling and whispering for at least an
hour, to the annoyance of those who
went TO listen TO the fine production OF
the general. We should think "ktss-

with their tastes than q lecture.
The house was uneomfortably cold on
the nights Of Sogard's concert and Bal
ley's lecture. We suppose the fireman
was out shopping.
We regret that we are compelled to
make a note of the fact the "Hoodlum"
has made his appeance rather unani-
mously at the Whitley. There
should be a few able-bodied men
stationed about the audience auth
orlzed to use club on the heads OF
those who disturb the audience by
those Internal ceilings and whIstlings.
If the managers do not want the pa
tronage of this really elegant place OF
amusement injured, they twill at once
take steps to stop this inexcusable and
uncomfortable nuisance, which has just
commenced to show itself this winter
AS we now remember there were nc
marked demonstrations of this kind
last winter and we think they have
crept in by allowing the house to be
used for political gatherings. We hap.
pened on oae occasion lately to sit close

HAPPY HEARTS.

Romance.
From Thursdays Daily.
About three years ago, while visiting
in the vicinity Of Eureka, Miss Cora
Cheney, OF Milwaukee, became ac-
quainted with Mr.. J. A. Sexton, of Eure-
ka, and on her return home the acquaint-
ance was continued by letter. The two
continued their correspondence, and
finally became engaged. During all
these three years neither has seen the
other, but the flame of love was kept
alive by the ardent missives which pass
ed between them.
Yesterday there came in on the can
non ball a fine looking, intelligent lady
of middle age, and shortly after the
train had gone this lady was observed
by Mr.. Burke, OF the Park Place, wan
dering about the depot and premises
thereof, apparently in quest Of some
thing she had most confidently expected
to see but did not. Seeing that the lady
seemed to be somewhat in distress, Mr..
Burke courteously accosted her and vol
unteered his assistance if such were
needed. The lady told Mr.. Burke about
what we have stated above, and said
that it had been agreed between
her affianced and herself TO meet at this
place and get married. She had tele-
graphed Mr.. Sexton at what time she
would be here, and she confidently ex'
pected him 10 met her on her arrival
Not finding him, she began to fear thai
she was the victim Of misplaced conf.
dence, and was half disposed TO boar
the next train for home. Mr.. Burke in
quired into The matter little furthel
aud found that the telegram
had not been sent in time for Mr.. Sex
ton to take the train on which he wal
expected to arrive here, 80 Mr.. Burke
persuaded N Cheney to rest easy anC
go to the hotel and await results.
Between @ and 2 O'Clock last evening
when the train from Eureka arrived
here, of jumped the tardy groom, J. A
Sexton, and was i'm mediately escOrteC
to the Park Place, where the two lover
met and swore enternal fealty each Il
the other.
Rev. DIR. Cordley was called in afte
an hour or 80. and united the faithful
pair in the holy bonds of matrimony
and this morning they left for Eureka
where Mr.. Sexton has prepared a fin
cage for his charming bird.

An item was published in the police
report of this paper on the 18th, which
Mr.. James McCune claims was unjust
to him and put him in false light. The
item mentioned him as being connected
with others in stealing coal from the San
IA Fe road near the round house. The
coal was thrown off or fell Off the cars and
Mr.. McCune took his lantern and picked
up a'few chunks. He would hardly have
carried lantern had he been commit
ting theft. A certain ofiicious gentle
man had better be little cautious or he
may learn something in regard to his
own actions, which would display con-
siderable degree of crookcdness which
would not look well in print.
