Uncle Toms Cabin.

G. II. Smith has an excellent Uncle
Toms Cabin Company. An enter
tainment was given by them in Ph9-
nix Hall on Monday evening to a
large and appreciative audience. Were
it not for an unusual amount of real
merit this play would have been worn
out long ago. We have often thought
it worn thread bare but still whenever
Uncle Tom is announced by good
company, crowds are always ready to
go and listen. Such was the case on
Monday night. 1t was known that
there were twenty-six members in the
company and that there would be a
variety oftalent displaye !, consequent
ly the hall was full. The heroic
escape of Eliza and George Harris
with their child; the proselyte quaker
the southern home; the good and
beautiful Eva and the pathetic scenes
of her death; the queer freaks of the
Topsys; the various experiences OF
Uncle Tom; the New England old
maid; the deacon; the typical yankee
the lawyers Marks & Marks and others
though so old and we'll known, all
seemed new as ever and awakened as
much enthusiasm as ever. Some OF
the plantation scenes were we'll rem
dered and all the ''eXtras' were well
received, especially the barber act
Some parts of the play, as usually rem
dered, were omitted but enough
character acting and singing was done
to more than make good the deficiency
Having large troupe display Of
varied talent is possible. The enter
tainment was pronounced success.

During the Week Commencins
Monday August 81. 1883.

It will be undert the supervision of
the County Superintendent, who will
make all necessary arrangements for
the convenience Of Teachers and the
success of the Institute. Instructors,
thoroughly prepared for the work..
will be provided. They will be fur.
nished with such professio nal books
apparatus and literature as will he of
special service torteachers, Lectures
and discussions will be appointed for
some of the evenings, and everything
possible be done to fill the week with
valuable matter.1 Good teachers, and
those ambitious to improve, cannot
afford to absent themselves. The
school officers of-the best districts are
noticing who take part in the insti-
tutes. and those. who never attend are
not likely to gain prominence as en-.
terprising teachers, or to deserve any
hearty endorsement from the super
intendent. Give the superintendent
timely notice of your intention to be
present, and ask him. for a syllabus
of the work to- be done. Work will
begin promptly Monday afternoon
and close Friday evening. Be on
hand at the beginning. Plan to stay
the entire week. and let nothing pre-.
vent giving your undivided attention
to it's duties. : D. L. KIEHLE,

burden her mind to him and held ont
the blessed promise for forgiveness to
all who are truly penitent Finally the
woman retold her story, relating how
she, her mother and her brother had
murdered her first husband, Benz. Swe-
CART, at Marysyille, Mo-, in March,
1877. The second victim was a stranger
whom the same party killed for his
money while stopping at a boarding
house. The third was her own daughter,
aged IA, whom she strangIed
IN the presence of her mother
at Rulo, Neb., in 1880. She
also confessed to having made
three attempts on the life Of her present
husband, Jay B. Stilwell, an employe of
the c.. B. & O. Railroad. She went
clusi0n said there were two black crimes
she would never tell. The minister
urged her by her hopes for forgiveness
to make full confession. Yielding to
his advice, she informed him that she
had, in addition to the horrible crime
before confessed, murdered her mother
while lying helpless at her home in OF

she nurged her mother until she became

make some confession that would impli-
cate her, she straDgled her. She posi-
lively refused to divulge the other crime

ease her father died, she hid her face
and cried: "Acute throat" There is nc
doubt but that the other crime was the
murder Of her father, as he mysterious

was reported to have gone to California.

Aaron Burr as a Cross-Examiner.

A writer thus describes the conclusion
Of q case in which Burr was one of the
lawyers The evening session opened
and Burr resumed his cross examln alton
of the witness. 1t was q test Of the pro-
found skill and subtlety Of the lawyer,
the self-possessiOn, courage and tact OF
the witness standing on the very brink
of horrible gulf calmly and intrepidIy
resisting the efforts of the terrible man
to topple him over. At last, after dex-
terously leading the witness to an appro-
pirate point, Burr suddenly seized
lamp III each hand, and holding them II
such a manner that their light fell in
stanteously upon the face of the witness,
he exclaimed in a startling voice, like the
voice of the avenger OF blood: Gen
tIemen of the jury, behold the murder
er!" With q wild, convulsive start, a
face of ashy pallor, eyes starting from
their sockets, lips apart, his whole atti-
tude evineing terror, the man sprang
from the chair. For "a moment he stood
motionless, struggling to recover his
self possession. But it was only a mo-
mentary struggle; shaking every nerve
with paralyzipg fear. Conscious that the
eyes of ell in the court room were fixed
upon h1m reading the hidden deeds of his
life, he left the witness stand, and walk
ed shrinkingly to the door of the court
room. But he was prevented from max
ing his escape by the sheriff. The eff
feet can be better imagined than decrib-
ed. It struck the spectators with silent
awe, changing the whole aspect Of the
trial in al instant, overthrowing the
hypothesis Of the attorney general,
which he was convinced would send the
prisoner to the gallows, saving an inno-
cent man from the beautiful hands of a
