There is short-haired, energetic, fresh
young messenger in one of the corridors O,
the treasury department., a recent importa-
ton from New York. He never loses ali
opportunity of getting acquainted with his
colleagues, and the other morning while
wearing out the seat of his pants on re

for him to vacate the chair and slap the

ing himself as quickly as possible, the
deputy hurried ia his room while the Young
messenger related 10 an associate what a
lark he had just had with little fellow
who claimed to be one of the deputy con-
tIollers of the department.. What kind

friend. "a smooth faced kid. vino was

COMFORTING himself in a manner that
showed conclusively he was all that he
claimed to be. The fresh messenger is very
careful since this episode about slapping
people on the back during Office hours. and
he was lucky in encountering an official
who enjoyed the joke pelpetrated upon
him by the innocent from Manhattanyille.

STORM ECHOES.

The damage done to telegraph wires
by the recent storm is unprecedented in
the history of the telegraph III Kansas
OF the eight wires running along the
line of the Santa Fe railroad not one is
in working order. Over 1000 p lies be-
tween Topeka and Emporia are broken
completely down, and between this city
and the little village of Phillips, seven
miles west, 80 telegraph poles, or nearly
the entire number, are lying fiat on the
ground. No estimate can be made as to
the amount of damage, as the telegraph
company will be required to rebuild the
lines, using as much labor as was needed
at the first strlngIng Of the wires. The
loss of business and DELAYED kilograms,
will also be considerable. The telegraph
line running along tho NJ. K. & T. Ry.,
from Junction City to Parsons, is still
intact and in good working order as is
the Southern Kansas wire between this
point and Ottawa. The Western Union
office at Junction City report that all
wires along the kansas Pacific railroad
are In equally bad condition as those on
the Santa Fe. How far the storm ex.
tends III any direction cannot be ascer.
tanned, but from what can be learned it
appears TO have been general.

KARL rae PEDDLER.

The presentation Of the really excel
lent play of "Karl the Peddler," by Mr..
Charles Gardner at the Whitley opera
house Monday night was real dramatic
and musical treat to every one fortunate
enough to be there. Mr.. Gardner is too
we'll known in Emporis to necessitAte
anything like criticism of his perform
ance.
Most plays Of the specially order are
simply vehicles for the exhibition OF
the special talents of the leading man
and have little about them of genuine
plot, thrilling tableaux or effective de-
movement. "KHrl the Peddler," on
the contrary possesses these desirable
qualities and at the same time affords
opportunity for Mr.. Gardner, as the re-
Gently landed teuton. unfamiliar with the
language of his newly adopted country,
and vet full of generous impulses, to
give US personatIon neither strained
nor overdrawn, but fully up the require
ments of the character. His songs, as
we'll as his acting throughout remind Us
of Joe Emmett, and yet he cannot be
said to be an imitator, although he may
be classed as rival-his friends say the
only rlval-to that celebrated imperson-
ator of similar characters. Mr.. Gardner's
songs were applauded to the echo and
had he yielded TO the pressure, he would
surely have made his bow before the
curtain at the cad of the third act, for
the audience demanded 1t In almost uni
versaI shouts of applause, which lasted
several minutes. Mr.. Gardeners dane
ing and song motions are exceedingly
graceful. his voice is clear, resonant and
melodIous; his tyroieOn warhlings very
pleasing. and his broken-German dialect
simply immense. He is one of the thor
oughly good and talented actors that we
take pleasure In commencing to the
public. His company is most excel
lent one. Miss Mamie Earl has q fine
stage stage presence and captured the
audience in the role of the adopted
daughter. Miss Greenfield, as Mary
Atwood, the maid of all work, in love
with the gardener; Miss Barbara, as the
object-with ten thousand
dollar attachment-of Lawyer Tibbs'
matrimonial desires, and little
Miss Scott as Heinrich, were
all well mp in their respective parts and
received due measure OF applause. As
to the gentlemen of the company. they
are all worthy of praise, Mr.. z. F.
Gardner as Lawyer Tibbs being espec-
tally funny and keeping the house in
continual roar whenever on the stage.
Mr.. Boyce Alton gave as . fine lmper-
sonation of the Gypsy william, Mr.. An
derson was equally successful as Owen
O'Donnell the Irish gardner. as was Mr..
Lodge in the character Of Peter Stein.

Ella WheeIer-WfIcox.

Ella Wheeler-Wilc the author Of
'tPoems Of Passion" has a fair COM
plexon and hazel eyes. It is said that
the poetess took her first dancing les
sons at village near her home, when
she was years old. She became a
terpsichorean devotee, and, when not
composing, often gayly tipped the light
fantastic, like some tabled faun, hum
ming tune to suit the motion. Years
afterward she was at reception given
in her honor, and danced with such
grace that reporter described her not
only as''the poetry of motion, but poetry
In motion" Her first attemptat compos-
Ing was at the age of 8 years. A lot of
old-fashiOned flowers grew about her
home. On the blank page of old let
tiers she found she wrote story describ-
ing the jealousy Of Mr.. Hollyhock be-
cause Miss Dahlia danced with Mr..
Nasturdum and Miss Fouro' clock hung
her head in a sulky manner because
MIR. Bachelorbutton did not waltz with
her. Elias mother noticed her absorb
ing occupation, and when the little story
was read, she foresaw the literary fi-
ture Of her child. But poetry, success,
adulation, and even marriage have not
robbed her OF the love for dancing, and
her grace In that accomplishment keeps
pace with her literary progress. She
was in New York the other day reading
proof for her forthcoming novel, '.MaI
Moulee." She said: 81 am not as i'm
pervious to criticism now as was be-
fore was married. Since I was mar
ried many cruel and bitter things APP
peared in print about my husband and
myself. Why, q woman who professed
to be my friend wrote to an Indian
apolis paper that she saw my husband,
and described him as a man devoid Of
any emotion. She wound up the letter
by saying that he had exhausted all
pleasures, and at last concluded to mar
~ poetess just for the novelty. These
are mild stories compared to some. II
all couples were as happily married as

ICE.

The ice vender chuckIed to himself as
he sat at the breakfast table IN the morn
ing and he said to his wife in a gleeful
tone: ''Only another day or two of this
beautiful weather and then will HE me
to the Neosho rlveF and there harvest 9
plentiful crop of ice for my next sum-
mer's trade"
But, alas, everything human is subjeci
to sudden change, and so 1t was with
the tone of the ice man as he came in 70
dinner. His face had lost its hopeful
appearance aud mis- remarks instead Of
being in q cheerful vein, ran after thil
fashion: "Now will have to
watch and hope for another cold SPELL
and If one does not come then will
have to engage In some other and more
substantial business; for at the best, ice
is q slippery article"
We can only offer as suggestion 70
the ice vender that he does not determine
to engage in the newspaper business il

ceived.
find by reference to them that there
have been reported to the secretary 115
calls for aids which have been respond
ed TO by the society. Also homes have
been obtained for three orphan chill
dren.
The society has also accomplished
much work not recorded in the minutes,
such as visiting the sick, burying the
dead, and securing work for strangers.
Owing to the severe winter Of 1884
and 1885 and the difficulty in obtaining
work, the demands on the society were
unusually large, so that on May 1, 1885,
the expenditures of the society 1854 80
in excess of the receipts.
The creditors of the society kindly
allowed the accounts to stand until
funds coulo be collect.
During the summer the police force

society which enabled them to .respend
