The ball last week at Meaderville Grove,
which was given as a compliment to Mr..
Carl, the proprietor, was a genuine success:
The Meaderville band was there in full
force, as were all the good people Of the
town. The attendance was general, the
residents deeming it a duty to thus far
show their good feeling and reciprocate the
many kindneeses of Mr.. Carl, who. when
ever occasion offered, has been more than
liberal in rendering the use Of his establish
ment.

pathy was wasted on him by his associates,
and it is safe to say that if his employers
had not generously buried him, that act
would have become a burden on the county.

THOUGH this crime had it's inception in a
variety theater, it cannot be directly charge
able to institutions Of that character. The
woman Flick was temporarily employed as
box worker at the Toledo, a position
which she sought as a dernier resort. She
was not a bad sort of a woman. Indeed,
those who know her best, say that she was
a very excellent woman, who occupied the
place in which she was found by force Of
circumstances more than from choice. She
is said to be a good hearted, generous wo-
man and is certainly very popular with the
women connected with variety theaters.
These women have been visiting their al
f1icted sister very regularly and have been
very generous in their donations of money
and material things.
-.
WHILE it is true that this crime is not
c%hargeable to the Toledo, in which it orig
mated, there Ia, however, nc doubt that 1t
is traceable to the evil influence that sur
rounds certain of these institutions. Said
an officer OF the law to your contributor:
"Some variety theaters are all right; they
give a clean and pure show and men are
not made any the worse for seeing them,
but these are the exception. Others are the
vilest dives that WI have to contend with.
If there ever a anything in Sodom and
Gamorrah to equal them l do not wonder
| that those cities were visited with the wrath
| of God" He then enumerated the leading
| crimes that have been committed in Butte
within a year and said; "Nine-tenths Of
our criminal business originates in variety
| theaters."

lever in this doctrine He has been confined to
his bed for more than week with malignant
attack OF typhoid pneumonia, and his case is
critical. But, Notwithstanding this fact, he per-
sistently refuses to take medicine or nourish
ment of any kind, believing that through the
efficacy or prayer and anointment he will be
restored to perfect health. With this belief in
his mind, he called the members of the Holiness
Band around his sick bed and they are invoking

you please about the Hayes's, but there is one
thing that is beyond question, the White House

is found in the purest of private families.
Socially speaking, il was above criticism. There
was no time during the Hayes rule when the

whether you have noticed it or not, but you do
not see many of the daughters of our best peo-

the tone of the White House clique is altogether

Murder of S. L. Williams, a well-Known
Stoclx-Dea1er of Red Key.
Special 20 the Indianapolis Journal.
RED KEY. Jan. 15.--This village was thrown
into intense excitement about 10 o'clock last
night over the shooting of S. L. Williams one
of the most prominent citizens of the county.
Mr.. Williams had just returned from Buffalo
N. " where he had gone with three cars of
stock After paying out about $500, he started
for his home, about one-fourth of a mile from
town, going east on the railroad. Two pistol
shots were heard just as he left the sidewalk
and turned down the track. These are supposed
to have been signals for the villain who fired the
fatal shot The bullet entered Wiiams's breast
just above the left nipple, and passed entirely
through his body He began calling for help,
and thus frightened the murderers away before
they secured his money. The residents close by
could hear the assailants running to escape.
Williams lived about one hour. and was con-
scious until death. He thought he knew the
man who shot him, but, on being arrested, the
suspected man was released upon proving that
he was at his home, in bed.
