1t is stated by good outside authority
that bed bugs are rather numerous this
year, and in connection with this fact
we mean to cast no reflection on the
able attorneys Of this city, when we
state that the lounge i'll the lawyers
consulting room at the court house had
to be destroyed because it was afflicted
with these pests.

of Hope. returned from Michigan last

our best and most intelligent citizens,

TheyOung amateurs who gave "LOve's
Triumph at the Opera House last Tues
day night displayed degree of talent
which was agreeably surprising to their
friends. The play itself is rather frag-
mentary-each incident and situation
standing alone and independent of all
others-but our amateurs made the
most of it and were favored with hearty
applause. There is some talk of repeat
ing the play Saturday night, after the
little folks have rendered "Cindrella.
Miss Aula Moore, the author of both
plays, will donate the funds to the build
ing of Western Orphans Industrial
Home, and the opera house should be
crowded on Saturday night.
