MUGS LANDING.

Mugs Landing" was presented to
large and very demonstrative audience last
evening, with Miss Francis Bishop in the
leading role of Little Mugs, and Alfred
Mcdowell as Asa Beck, land agent, and
good. supporting company. The play is
pure, void of all levity or vulgsrity, and in
this respect compares favorably with the
Hazel Kirke" line of plays. Miss Frances
Bishop is very clever little actress; she is
petite Of figure, and is possessed Of an engag-
ing figure. Besides, see has fresh, young
voice, which is called into frequent requisi-
ton by the audience. Miss Bishop WAS
ably supported by Mr.. Alfred Mcdowell,
who is favorably known here. and whose
antics on the stage set the audience into
commissions of laughter. These two sing
several charming songs together; they were
compelled to repeat their efforts to satisfy
the applauding house.-Oswego Herald.
Junction City Union: The Wichita papers
are agitating the parking scheme of beauti-
flying their city. That is, the use of a por-
ton of the street for ornamental purposes.
There are many suburban streets in all our
towns that might be limited TO single road
way, Just room enough for two teams to
pass, and the remainder equally set apart on
each side for grass plot, or shrubbery. In
Topeka the streets were made unusually
wide with thi. view, and many Of the prop
erty owners have fenced and are taking care
of u certain portion of the street for this
ornamental purpose. In Manhattan there
happens to be one street a hundred feet
wide, on which Col. Anderson resides. This
last spring, Congressman Anderson laid out
the entire street with trees and shrubs, and
in few years it will be a wonderful street.
In Junction City the property owners on
many of our streets could determine upon a
uniform plan and begin it next spring.

Handwriting Of Presidents.

In the executive office OF the senate,
writes Washington correspondent to
TIE NeU York Sun, there are preserved
all the executive messages of presidents
Of the United States from the founda-
ton OF the government. Though not
often referred to, some Of these docu-
ments are becoming worn, and recent
ly Gen. McCook. the secretary of the
senate. caused selections to be made
from the files, with view to preserv-
ing some of the interesting autographs
in a cabinet by themselves. 1t appears
from this collection that none Of the
presidents. with the exception OF WASH
ington and Jefferson, would be marked
above 80 for penmanship by a civil
service commission. Washington first
contribution to the collection embodies
nominations for judges, marshals. and
attorneys for the districts Of New York
and New Jersey; and at the end Of the
same documents are the n0mina atoms

Mr.. Jefferson penned his signature
with easy grace, but his economy OF
space was such that his documents, as
whole fall below the present standard
of clerical excellence. He wrote most
of his messages with his own hand.
In all of John Adams signatures the
small letters are more. than an inch
long. In his message Of July 2, 1898,
nominating Washington to be lieutenant
general, an unsuccessful attempt APP
pears to have been made to write the
whole document on the same ample
scale. args.
Mr.. Madison wrote an irregular
hand. devoid of marked peculiarities.
Mr. Monroe used coarse pen and
wrote hesitatingly..
Andrew Jackson's first message, da-
ted March 6. 1929, is an autograph do
cument throughout, and more than
any other one of the series its style
seems characteristic of its author. Its
letters are angular and unsymmetrical.
but they are legible, and there is an air
of self-assertion about the document
which eliminates in the emphatic un-
derscoring Of the signature.
Martin Van Buren's hand was un-
steady when he penned his first mes
sage, but he wrote better the next day.
James X. Folks contribution to the
collection Is an autograph message
penned in what would be taken for a
feminine hand, yet with few of the
graces OF penmanship. His autograph
Is rather pretentious. with row OF
dots and several cramped flourishes
beneath it.
Harrison's and Tyler's signatures
have no distinguishing characteristics.
Taylor and Lincoln each wrote firm.
ly and legibly. but with extreme sim.
plcity and without any superHuous
marks. Mllard Fillmore's signature
is very similar to theirs in character,
but rather smoother.
James Buchanan's hand trembled
when he signed his first message, and
he made failure of the elaborate
scroll-work attachment to his first
initial. Franklin Pierce wrote sprawl
ing, schoolboy signature. Andrew
johnson started fairly upon the line
then fell little below it, but recovered
himself at the end.

from a patriotic citizen two cents in coin
which Messrs. Halstead and Smith are re-
quested to forward to the Treasurer
of the United States to cover the money
lost by Republicans when they had the Gus.

Now that the missing cents have been
found the Treasurer will return the two
cents to Halstead and Smith, and we hope
the amount will not stick" to their fin

two great journalists and might prove a
great temptation.
