A CHANGE OF MANAGEAEEE.

A CHANGE OF AANAGEMENT.
Capt. Henry King announces through
the columns OF the Topeka Capital this
morning that for business reasons his
connection with that paper has ceased,
and it is stated that until further notice
J. K. Hudson will assume editorial and
business management of that journal.
The Capital, since becoming morning
publication, has been under the editori-
al control of Captain King, and the
splendid ability displayed by that gen.
tleman in the management of its col
umns has added luster to his reputation
as a journalist and has elevated his
exalted rank in the world Of Kansas
letters. Captain King possesses quail
fications for journalistic work which
il will be difficult to duplicate ON the
paper from which he retires. The excep-
tional polish which characterizes his
style of writing is not comprised at the
expense of forcible expression, and
while all the demands of ingenious and
symmetrical construction are met in
the products of his pen, nothing can be
more effective and incisive than the
methods employed by him for convey
ing to the mind of the reader the intelli-
gent ideas and well-matured thought
which distinguish his articles. We are
not advised as to the Captains future
plans, but earnestly trust that he may
remain in Kansas, of which he is an In
stitution which the state could lily af-
ford to lose. We have knowledge of
several very tempting inducements
which have long been held out to him by
leading metropolitan dailies, but his
great fondness for Kansas with whose
history he has been 30 prominently and
honorably identified will, we trust
preclude the formation of any engage
ment which would necessitate his depar-
ture from its pleasant borders.
Meanwhile we extend to the Capital
our best wishes for continued prosperity
under its new management.

Enoch Arden

The popular and pleasing drama OF
EOoch Arden, dramatized from Tenny-
sons poem of that name, will be pre-
sented by the pupils of the high school
under the direction of John E. Henning,
at Whitiey's opera house on the
evening Of April 9Th. This
will be followed be the laughable
farce of "My Turn Next" and both
plays will be worth seeing. The pro-
ceeds will be devoted to the construction
of cabinet for specimens belonging tc
the public schools, and we hope to see
the entertainment well patronized.

Sim carried mu ket and knapsack all
