versal ana more enthusiastic as che even
ing proceeded. Then occasionally be
tween the performances there occurred u
considerable interval during which the
members of the Club would make brief
visits to the other tables and in this way
Ronald made the acquaintance Of u good
number of those moderately convvial
souls. For if there was tulerable amount
of treating, and its corresponding chal-
lenges, there was no drunkenness appn-
rent anywhere; there was some loud talk
ing; and Capt. McTaggart was unduly
anxious that everybody should come and
sit at the Presidents table but the great
est hilarity did not exceed bounds. 1t was
to be observed, however, that as the even
ing drew on, it was the extremely sent-
mental songs that were the chief favorites
those that mourned the by-gone days of
boyhood and youth, or told of the prena-
ture decease of some beloved Annie or
Mary.
Ronald was once or twice pressed to
sing but he good-naturedly refused.
"Some other time, if / may have the
chance, will try and screw up my cuur-
age" he said. And by that time yen
have forgotten what Mrs. Menzies said
the East Lothian folk are wonderful for
prasng their own kith and kim"
As to letting old Mr. Jaap have a song or
two to set to music, that was another and
simpler matter and he promised to hunt
out one or two OF them. In truth, it would
not be difficult, as he himself perceived, to
find something little better than the
"Caledona's hills and dales" which was
sung that night. and which was of n very
familiar pattern indeed. And Ronald
looked forward with not little natural
satisfaction to the possibility of one OF his
songs being sung in that resounding hall
a poet must have his audience some
where; and this, at least, was more extern
sive than a handful of farm lads and lassps
collected together IN the barn at Inver-
Mudal.

ELoPEMEST. AN exceptionally gen
teel looking runaway party came in
from Missouri last Friday afternoon
for the usual purpose OF being married.
Mr.. w. O. Ross, Of Pilot Grove, sales
man in q dry goods house, desired to
bo united with Miss Eddie Brown
Dickinson, who was staying there with
her guardian. With the hope of chill
ing the Ardor of both parties 1t was
determined to send the young lady TO
Kentucky for year. She was escorted
as far as Sedalia and there placed upon
train which should bear her on the
eastward journey. Luck and the rail-
road time cards were on the side Of the
young people. The train OF the party
who was seeing the young lady of, left
first. A number OF friends, L. IL.
harris, Jr., Frank Reinhart, aud Miss
Stella Harris, were at Seda,ia en- route,
SO twas thought, fov the Upton fair,
With little difficulty their sympathies
were enlisted and together the party
journeyed TO Vinita on the first train.
The kindly Of offices Of Bro. Haworth
were secured Immediately after their
arrival here and very quickly were the
twain made one. All declared them
selves delighted with the country and
scenery paused through and we pre-
sumo they were. The irst north bound
train carried them back--we doubt not
to receive congratulations from all

CHARGED Wrrm RoBBERY.-About the
latter part of July it will be remem-
bered some of the colored people made
an unsuccessful attempt to chastise
John Robinson, Kansas darkey who
had been conducting himself very i'm
properly. According to his statement
he was induced TO take a walk one ev-
ening and while on Bull creek several
colored men assaulted and robbed him
OF SlGO, and intended TO administer a
rawhiding in addition. Robinson dis
suaded them from executing the latter
part OF the programme, and when he
returned to town charged Ike and Fred
Martin and an uncle OF theirs with
the robbery. Some time since the
Martins were on complaint OF Robinson
arrested and tried before Mayor Trott
for disturbing the peace, but Of rob-
berry nothing was said. The alleged
"holding.up" reaching the Fort Smith
authorities, writs for the Martins and
their relative were issued and given to
deputy Marshal Jones who served
them last Saturday. A number Of wit
nesses also were summoned at the
same time.

said to have been killed by Daniel
Childers was a man named Silks.
Years ago this man came along and
being sick stopped at Childers' until he
got well, when he made rails and did
other work and was paid $45. Before
leaving Childers tried to induce Silks
to part with a dog he had, but without
success. As soon as he had gone
Childers followed and in short time
returned with the mans dog, gun and
the $45. Being a stranger nothing was
ever heard Of the affair afterwards. 1t
is thought Childers may have killed
a man few days before he was killed,
but nothing positive has been learned

In For IT.-Andrew ]. Tynon and
wife living on Duck creek southeast OF
Prairie City, have got into difficulty
which will likely cause them consider
able trouble before it is settled. The
facts as learned are as follows: George
Armstrong obtained the privilege Of
cutting hay from a piece Of land ad-
joining Tynon's farm and owned by a
widow woman. 1'ynon claimed that
the boundary OF his farm extended be-
yond and included the piece of land
alluded TO, but MIR. Armstrong began
Notwithstanding to cut and bale the
hay. About ten days ago when some
thing like eight acres had been cut and
raked, and while the men we're at din
ner, Tynon we are told hauled away a
load and his wife set fire to the re-
nader. Mr.. Armstrong stated the
woman boasted of her act and appeared
to think it justihable. The matter was
reported at Fort Smith and Tynon will
nave to answer for larceny while his
better half tries to show that she is
not guilty Of arson.
