RAINY DAYS.

There have been two rainy days in
one week, during which 1t was not
pleasant to go out Of doors for more
than half Of each day and there has
been cool wind blowing, so that the
guests who have been here all the win
ter have been abusing the weather to
their hearts content. Ii really was
rather hard on them, though, as failed
to discover the weather was bad, being
accustomed to so much worse, | could
not condole with them very honestly.
We are very conveniently situated with

Trouble AntIeipated I'm Texas.

AUSTIN, Texas, May 13.-Ths sdju-
tant general is in receipt of information
that six thousand head of cattle pur-
chased in south Texas by Abner Taylor
s. Co., and now enroute to their DallaR
county ranch, have been stopped At
Harold, Wichita county, by north Texas
cattlemen and forbidden TO pro-
coed any further. Those hav-
ing the cattle in charge ap-
lied to the company of rangers located
near Harold for protection, alleging
that armed men would resist their pas
sage through the country. The rangers
telegraphed adjutant general for Instuc-
tions to-day and were ordered TO re-
spond promptly to any call made upon
them by civil authorities, to whom the
men in charge of the cattle were referred
for aid and assistance. If they refuse or
tail, the government will invoke q
military post of the state. BloOdGhed
and trouble is anticipated when the

=CHURCH ENTERTAINMENT.

The entertainment given by the ladies
rink Tuesday was in all respects q sue
cess, and success was deserved. The
ladies commenced and completed pre-
parations IN a manner that proved their
hearts were in their work. The large
number of chairs and seats placed in the
rink were insufficient to accommodate
the large audience. The opening Sc
lection on the program an
nounced by Mr.. Harmon Harrison
was piano solo by Mrs. G. W. Simpson.
This lady, who has but recently come to
Emporia, proved herself an artist. The
first selection and another later, we're re-
ceived by an audience rapt in closest at
tention and delighted by the harmony of
every note An excellent quartet was
given by Mrs. Lawrence Nation, Miss
Rosa Bartch, and Messrs. Frank Mccain
and G. E. Worthington. Mrs. Nation
sang the solo in her accustomed excel
lent manner. A ian drill by eight young
Misses, executed with military precision,
was pleasing part of the program.
A duet, "What are the Wild
Waves Saying?" was sung by Miss Rosa
Bartch and Mr.. F. B. Forbes. This was
one of the most entertaining features of
the program. Miss Bartch's excellent
alto voice was well suited to the selec-
ton both in solo and duet, and she fully
sustained her reputation as singer, and
Mr.. Forbes very pleasing tenor voice
was used with good effect.
Miss Anna L. Jackson's recitation of the
"Story of the First Settler" was selec-
ton through which to hold the audience
required much elocutionary skill, but
Miss Jackson succeeded. Though there
were none of the light and amusing things
often used as aids to keep up the inter-
est, the audience followed with the at
tention that would be natural in tn g mar.
ration of sadly true tale. The appear.
ance of the Peak sisters, represented by
a number of young girls in suitable cos
tunes, created much merriment. Their
acting and their singing were remark
ably good, and their costumes very
amusing. They were in charge of Ger
tie FraZeur, who did her
part admirably. Thew retired amidst
most hearty applause. Messrs. Forbes,
Worthington, Evans and Mccain sang a
medley quartet composed of fourteen
different melodies. 1t was replete with
the Gnddpn transitions usuaI in q oood
medley and was well rendered. They
responded to an encore. The closing
instrumental selection was a piano
solo by Miss Bessie Barter, a little
girl who eVinced much ability
and good musical training. The
social and refreshments following were
INDUCED in by the large assemblage, and
a delightful time was had. The ladies
are to be congratulated also on being
successful financially. They cleared
