Bound to Die.

CHICAGO, June 21.-Victor Rafske, a
Polish Jew, took novel way of ending his
earthly existence. Some time during last
night the man went to Lincoln Park. In
his hands he carried a stout rope.
Making his way to the south lake, Rafske
carefully tied one end of the rope to
tree and, making a moose on the other end,
attached if to his neck. He probably
changed his mind at this point as to the
mode by which he would kill himself, and,
the rope being long enough, Rafske laid
himself in the water, face downward. The
body was found by Lincoln Park police
man about daylight this morning, with life
extinct,

and he was warmly applauded In
the scene where he drives his daugh-
ter from home, and also, when blind,
he thinks Hazel is drowning and he
cannot help her, he was worthy of the
highest praise. Miss Aida Lawrence,
as "Hazel Kirkc," also merits praise,
and so does Richard French, as Gar
thur Carringford," G. st. Martin, as
"Pittacus Green" and Miss Eva Earle

had the task of tinting the drama
with humor, and did il admirably.

life in the Sierras, concluding with n
farce entitled, The youth who never
saw a woman" If they do as we'll
in the dramas yet to be given, as they
did last night, they merit crowded

Burglary.

Burglars broke into the store Of
Will Dawson, on Second street, last
Saturday night. The thieves effected
an entrance to the store by breaking
the glass in one of the rear doors.

was heard by several parties, but the
place was not located at the time.
The burglary was done about two

trio lights are shut down; consequent

Because we 60 into the New York

Because we are not branch store,

Now, we desire to impress undeni-

The Journal man wants to know
why we did not denouncc street frauds
when other Common Councils were in
power, and we will answer the Journal
man by asking him why he did not
post himself and examine the back
files of the ARGUS and then he would
have discovered that the ARGUS has
frequently denounced such frauds on
the people. The Journal man had
better post himself before he issues
his criticisms. Another brilliant argu-
ment advanced by the Journal Is be-
cause the charter permits the Council
to pass an ordinance to allow gam
blers, quack doctors, and such things,
to block up and use the streets and
sidewalks for store sites, that the city
officials are obliged to grant such men
licences. He is welcome to such ar
guments. AS regards the insinuation
of the Journal that we are attacking
his Council, we must deny that charge.
We don't remember printing anything
about the present Council except what
actually took place in the Council
Room, and we intend to continue in
forming our readers what the Council
do npublic meetings. We have no in
tention Of misrepresenting any member
of the Council, and if inaccuracies
occur in our reports, we are ready and
willing to correct them. when we are
informed that such have been made.
The truth is what we desire to give
our readers in rega rd to the dcings of
the Council.

MAY Festival.

The May festival and concert given
by Trinity Sunday school, at the Opera
House, last Friday night, was grand
success. The room was literally pack
ed full of people, and large numbers
had to stand in the aisles. AT one
side of the room was located the art
loan, in which were displayed a number
of objects that were the cause of much
merriment. A number of tables were
also located where the ladies of Trim
ity society furnished ice cream, and
other refreshments to those who de-
sired them, and they were extensively
patronized.
The principal interest, however,
was in the concert. On the stage
were gathered the Sunday school chill
dren, their teachers and many of their
friends, and the various pieces were
well rendered. The program was as
follows:
Chorus-"On the Darkness Light is
Breaking"
Duet, by Misses Crowell and Steele.
Quartet and chorus-"Michigan, my
Michigan"
consolidating On"
Vocal selection, by Miss Crowell.
Solo and DEMONSTRATING Through
Georgia"
Male quartet.
Chorus-"America."
After the program had been render
ed May pole dance was given. The
pole was erected OH the stage, and the
scene was very pretty and attractive
Judging by the appearance of the
many persons who were present, we
should say that they were much
pleased with the May festival. They
certainly appeared to enjoy them
selves. The receipts were large. AT
one time there must have been over
six hundred people in the auditorium,
and at the same time there were about
hundred on the stage. The various
pieces were well rendered and reflect
much praise on the children, their
teachers, and the citizens who so kind
ly volunteered to assist them.
