Sincerity Weeks,' Laura E. Dainty,
upon her first appearance, reminded
one of Lolita or Anna Evans in many
of their introductions, but the charac-
ter soon required more depth of feeling
and involved firmer principle, deeper,
finer and more womanly line of heart
breaking remuneration than generally
chosen by these two in their casts, so
that the comparison was lost early in
the evening. But she is endowed with
rare skill in facial changes, sunbeams
dancing over eyes and lips, chased by
shadows of perplexity which darken
into clouds of grief or despair, then
give place as suddenly to sunshine and
happiness. Miss Dainty won her audi
ence by her naiveness and ability. She
received two calls before the curtain
and was the recipient of handsome
bouquet from one of the boxes. 1t is
worthy of remark that the proscenium
and foyer boxes were all occupied by
fashionable parties who cheered the ac-
treSs with unusual enthusiasm.-Kda-

On Wednesday night of last week
the packing house at Junction City was
destroyed by fire. Supposed to be the
work of an incendiary. The Tribune
says: The main building and con-
tents were entirely destroyed, but the
business Office, weighing house, engi-
neer's cottage, stable and fences were
generally saved. The loss is probably
about $50, 900, with $13, 500 insurance.
The main building and machinery are
reckoned at $24, 900; the stored meats
and several hundred tons of ice make
up the balance of the loss.''

No sensible man should get angry
because a newspaper man "duns" him
for money. a dun is not an impeach-
ment of a subscribers integrity, but is
simply an outcropping of a publisher S
necessities. For instance, a thousand
men owe us from one to two dollars, we
have to dun them all in order to get
enough money to pay our expenses.
Instead of getting angry and stopping
the paper because the publisher asks
him for what is honestly due, that sub
scriber should thank the editor for
waiting on him so patiently, and pay up
like little man. Reader, if you are in
arrears, and don't like to be duned, you
are cordially invited to call at our sane
tum and pay up.

T. C. Henry on Top.

Judge Nicholson, at Junction City,
last Monday decided that the receiver
ship obtained by the Travellers insur-
ance company for large amount of
property owned by T. c. Henry, in and
adjoining this city, was illegal and void.
This decision restores the property to
Mr.. Henry's control, although the
Travellers will probably appeal to the
supreme court. The amount involved
is nearly 5000. 600.

Not a Dissenting Vote.

The election in Wichita township
last week for subscription of stock to
the Omaha. Abilene and Wichita Rail
way, resulted in a unanimous vote in
favor of the bonds, a thing which prob
ably never occurred before in the his

aging, and from the way the townships
all along the line are showing them
selves interested in the matter, this
road will surely be built, and that not
before many months passes by.

Died,

Miss SARAH Pool was born in Yorkshire,
England, July Is, 1897
Came with her parents TO America when
child of three years, living for time at ES-
sex, in the state of New York,
In the spring of 1850 moved to Wisconsin,
and in the fall of the same year to La Sale
county, Illinois.
Sarah. the fourth of family Of eleven
children, was early left to take upon her the
care and responsibility which the mother
had laid down. At the death Of the mother
the youngest child, Henry, was but four
wears old, and she maintained for him, with
other members Of the family, their home.
After the marriage Of her brother Henry
he and his noble christian wife endeavored
in some degree to repay her untiring labors
of former years by sharing with her their
home, which indeed was hers for over thirty
years.
Aside from the pressing duties Of home,
the care of sick father, and troubles pecu-
liarly her own, she found time to 90 into
other homes to stand by the sick and dying
She gave evidence of trust in Jesus.
No one was more universally loved and re-
spccted than she,
Not only the family, but the community
greatly mourn her loss.
After protracted, painful illness, which
was patiently endured, she died July 3lst,
| 1886, aged SO years, IL days.
In spite of the constant and heavy iall OF
rain on Sunday, Aug. 2, large number Of
friends followed the remains to the cemete-
rv g. b. MILLER.

thank him for waiting so patiently and pay
up like little man,

There Is no class of professional men who
find 1t so difficult to make both ends meet
as does the newspaper publisher. This Is
very true in the matter of delinquent sub
scribers and others who pay In exchange.
Not long ago farmer dropped into the Of
fee of one of our exchanges and paid for
his paper in spring chickens, and the edi
tor, after valnly endeavoring to eat one Of
them for a week, finally gave 1t up and
wrote: ave don't mind taking country
produce occasionally in payment for sub
scriptions, but we do object to having a
subscriber palm off on us an eight or ten
year old rooster as spring chicken. We
rot sample of that kind the other day,
and after the wife had boiled one for
three days it had the audacity to actually
flop out of the pot and crow. There has
got to be a line drawn somewhere. We
don't mind using considerable re-wood in
cooking them, or the eXertion in carving
them, though this is weakening us consid-
erably but when it comes to Growing, it
is like the last straw on the proverbial
camel's back Princeton Tribune.
