Fancy skating.

The skating rink was crowded on Sat
urday night by virtue of the announce
ment that Miss Edith Gilman, the
champion roller skater of Colorado and
Kansas, and Mr.. Chss. Davis, of Kansas
City, who wears number of gold med
ais which he was won in different tourn-
aments, would appear on that occasion.
The periorm9nc was worthy of the pat
ronage which it drew forth, and the
splendid manner in which both the lady
and gentleman acquitted themselves ex-
cited the greatest enthusiasm.
There is apparently no feat which can
be accomplished on roller skates which
they have not mastered, and the
graceful style in which they waltzed and
described all varieties of fancy figures
including that severest test of skill, the
grapevine, elected showers of applause
The costumes of both were very appro-
PIRATE and handsome, and the exhibition
was in all respect a perfect success. Il
seems almost incredible that Miss Gill.
man and MIR. Davis should have accom-
plished what they have in this direction
in three or four months, yet such is the
ease. They will give exhibitions at To
peka and other Kansas cities, and we
take pleasure IN notify ing our exchange
that they are well worth seeing.
The skating rink band was present OF
Saturday night and contributed mucf
to the success of the occasion by the il
fine music.

the elegant new Byram house at that
place. They have pTospered greatly in
their venture at the Coolidge, and in
serving the public we'll have also done

not only kept a firstclass house, but have
become prominently identified with
the social interests of EmpOria,

of pain TO q large circle of friends. We
take great pleasure in commencing these
good people to the citizens of Atchison,
and we can assure them that they will
prove valuable accessions to that COM
munity.
Col. Whitley, with characteristic en-
rprise, has already begun to devise

An item of News from Oklahoma.
EDITORS NEWS: Your correspondent
interviewed Mr.. Larry LaEnard this
morning regarding the notice Is your pa.
per yesterday that the Emporia "boom
ers" were all arrested by United States
troops in Oklahoma on the oath inst.
Mr. Larnard says it is all false. An Of
ficer came into their camp and inquired
if they were from Emporia. They an
swered yes. He replied, saying
that he would take charge
of their wagons. which
he did They soon learned the reason
for this action. The officers at Fit. Reno
were appraised of the fact that Q wagon
load of whisky left Emporis for OKLA
homa, and it was this that the officer
was looking up. After the wagons
were taken the men were allowed
to go. The wagon containing the
whisky was said to be owned and
controlled by one of our fellow citi-
zens, A.,Gudekunst, ex-rum seller. Mr..
Larnard furthes says that he met on
his return home q number of persons
with teams going to Oklahoma, who had
heard of this arrest through g couple of
panic-stricken individuals, also of EN-
poria. Notwithstanding, they pressed
on. When he arrived in Arkansas City
yesterday he saw at least forty teams that
were going to start for Oklahoma this
morning. Hence the difference.
