THE WORLD.
a Good ~Play-Some of h Finest Scenery
We Have Had.

a Good ~PIay-Some of thu Finest Scenery
We Have Had.
There was a good audience at the Opera
House last night 10 see Titles version OF
Tie World. 1t was a pleased audience,
loo, for the play introduced some of the
most realistic stage effects ever given. Our
stage is a little small for them, but the re-
suit was must pleasing. Indeed, the stage
appeared as big as the ocean, and so arts
tic was the painting and mechanical ar
raDgement of the scenes, that one forgot
it was a play and for the time being gave
himrelf up to the intense realism Of the
events passing before him, like one in a
dream.
When the curtain rose in the second act
o-e saw the deck Of a large steamer; there
we're the bulwarks, the cabin, the stairs
leading to the ~bridge-all complete. In
the storm all sinks entirely out of sight;
while we gaze in awe and wonder, thrilled
with fear and pity for the unfortunates who
are %cinging to the floating spars, while the
hero lashes them togs her in the firm ola
raft.
The next act shows the entire stage so ar
ranged that. look where we may. the eye
meets only sky and water, and the fraiI raft
with its suffering occupants riding on the
waves. In the moment Of despair, when
death seems the only release, a ship is seen
in the distance, and is rapidly passing out
of sight, when her attention is attracted BY
the signals from the raft. She fires a gun;
then her sails are furled. and she changes
her course direct for the castaHays. This
is beyond doubt the most perfectly beauti.
full and realistic scene ever produced upon
any stage, and 10 see its perfect setting and
every detail carried out. without a blot or
blemish, on our small stage, excites the ut
most admiration. The moonlight on the
wafer, following the escape from the asY-
lum, is also magnificent and drew out great
applause. The play itself is quite strong
and the various characters well cast. It
will be given again tonight, and should
have a crowded house.

HAD THE BULGE.

DR.. Cole and c. NJ. Olson, on my behalf
had a long conversation with Sedgewick, in
which he expressed himself about this way
Whatever the rights of the case are, the
fact is that the Sheriff has the bulge on the
Marshal, and if the Marshal sticks out, the
Sheriff can take the nan to st. Clairsville
and get the reward. ! have talked with
Sheriff Ormsby and he has offered to de-
liver the man at Chicago Junction for q
good deal less than | would have asked him
to. Now, / am willing to pay Mr.. Snowdon
$25 for his trouble in the matter, and let
Mr.. Ormsby deliver the mar to me at Chi,
c~sgoJunction." And BY the advice of:Messrs.
Cole and Olson l accepted the proposition
and Sedgwick paid me $50 aud took my re,
ceipt in full for all my claims in the
matter.
, Mr.. Sedgwick stated that he had no re,
guisition for the man and would have to go
lack anyway to get that, if Ormsby and |
9TH stuck out, and that Mr.. 0rmsby
Suld not have much more left after pay
y expenses, than | got, S25i so l re,
csted to him in full fer my claims, and
tufed over to him two pocket knives, one
enyope, supposed tocontain an order tor a
tick from Chicago to New Orleans, one
pocAbook containing $5.0S in cash, and
one tntaining a receipt for $50, and
took ) receipt for them. This was
all found on Mitchelrs person
when llut him up. That night Messrs
SedgeWNs ormsby and Mitchell left for
Ohio.
When Asmsby returned he came to me
and said II when he got the expenses in
the matter I'd he wanted to divide the
balance withne evenly.

Court ScanA.

A rather amusing scene occurred in
Justice McCandless' court last Satur-
day. DR.. II. Wisner, who lives north
east of here 10 miles, brought suit
against party of negroes to whom he
had loaned money on their notes. They
had taken claims inside his pasture and
the general understanding was that he
was to get their lands when the final
proofs were made. For some reason
the Doctor became uneasy and brought
suit on the notes, resulting in judg-
ments against him and in favor of the
defendants. Ellis & Ellis appeared for
plaintiff and G. w. Finch, of Harper,
represented the colored gentlemen.
In the course of his arguments to the
jury, Mr.. Finch was rather severe on the
plaintiff, DR.. Wisner, and in fact init
mated that he was falsifier. After
the trial was ended, Mrs. Wisner, who
is also doctor and who was an inter-
ested and indignant spectator ap-
preached MIR. Finch, while the court
was yet in session, and something like
the following dialogue ensued:
Picking up a copy of the First Kan
sas reports, and walking in front of Mr..
Finch, Mrs. w. said: I'D give ten
dollars if was man just five minutes,
then I'd mash that face of yours into a
jellyl"
perhaps it is worth ten dollars to
you that you are a lady," said Mr..
Finch.
We'll, I'll give any man ten dollars
to whip you for me-" said the enraged
lady.
1T might prove more than ten dol
lar job" quietly replied the attorney
We'll 1 have had it done for me in
Chicago for that price, anyway" said
the lady.
Yes, and I've heard of it being done
in Chicago for less money" said Mr..
Finch.
Here the court interfered and ordered
the lady disarmed and demanded quiet.
Mr.. Finch escaped unhurt, but pale,
and now he wants to know if Barber
county women can scare man up so,
what might be expected of full grown
men?

Let,s Have rhs ornhan,s Home.

The last legislature of Kansas made
provision for the establishment of q
Soldiers Orphans home in this state
and appropriated twenty thousand dol
lars TO be expended in it's erection.
The location of the home is in the hands
of the state board of charities, and this
board will soon be searching fora desir-
able place. In order to get the home.
the successful locality must donate at
least five thousand dollars in money or
bonds and one hundred and sixty acres
of land.
Why can't Barber county and Medi-
cine Lodge secure the homer
The legislature did not restrict the
inmates to the orphans of soldiers and
sailors who served in the war of the re-
bellion, and the children of soldiers now
alive, but disabled or INDECENT; but pro-
vided for the care of all INDECENT orph-
ans. So sweeping is this provision that
the institution must be made TO accom-
modate hundreds of children--perhaps
thousands. A vast amount of money
will be expended in the community in
which the home is located, and besides
the money expended on the building
would nearly all go to our home me-
chanics and tradesmen.
The first thing to be considered is, can
Medicine Lodge raise the five thousand
dollar donation, and besides pay for and
donate the land-l60 acres?
If we can, then it will be well enough
to discuss the question of getting the
commissioners to select Medicine Lodge
as a suitable location.
A prominent railroad official, the
highest one connected with the Southern
Kansas road. in fact, thinks Medicine
Lodge is admirably situated for the
home, and that if the people but do their
part. this public institution will be loca-
ted here.

or controlled by members of the asso-
citation, and had invited donations from
all persons not members, in sympathy
with the objects of the association.
The report was adopted. and the CON-
mittee continued in Office, and w. w.
Cook and A. l.. Freeman added to it.

emergency. lie was authorized to can.
vass the county or collect funds in an,

Another New Town,

A new town company has been tenn
porarily organized in this city with the
object of locating townsite in the ex-
treme southwestern part of Barber
county, neal the intersection of Mule
creek and Salt Fork river. The mem
bers of the company are Capt. J. Rog-
ers, COUNTY treasurer, l.. w. Moore, re-
corder, Byerley, Dark s. Runyan, mer-
chants, Bradberry 81 Hahn, real estate
brokers and Kenneth Mcpherson, all of
Medicine Lodge. The proposed town.
site is in section 16, township "a, range
Is, and is located on commanding point
overlooking magnificent country along
two streams of pure water. There are
no towns nearer than % miles to the
proposed new city, and the calculation
is that it Will at once be commercial
centre of no mean proportions, COM
handing as it must, trade from Barber
and Comanche counties and the Terri
tory on the south. The proposed town.
site is on land owned by Capt. Rogers,
and is on the railroad survey made up
the Salt Fork from New Kiowa. BY
next week the town will have been laid
off and named.

Re-survey The County.

Constant complaint is being made by
residents of the county that no two sur
veyOrs are able to run the lines correct
ly between the subdivisions of land.
One party stated lately that three diff
ferent surveyors had varied on his lines
from five to ten rods, and that now he
has no idea where the correct corners
are. Every day it is becoming more
evident that all of Barber county that
has not already been, must be officially
reSurveyed by the government and per-
maneLt corners established. Several
townships east Of here haye been resur-
yeyed and the re-idents know where
their lines are, and until this work is
done over the entire county. much dis
satisfaction must exist. We suggest
that the citizens of every township in
the county should at once prepare petit
tons asking that a resurvey of the
county be made. The appropriation for
this work, made by the last congress,
will be available after the 1st of July,
and this county should have the benefit
of some of this money.
