FIVE WEARS For BICAMy

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, May George W.
Dixon, the man who obtained the alleged
confession from Charles Ward that he was
the slayer Of Allen Hynson, was tried this
afternoon In the criminal court on the
charge Of bigamy. In 1871 Dixon married
Mary Estes in Lincoln county, this state.
In 1875 he married Sarah Gale In Illinois.
In 1880 he procured divorce from his
first wife and came to this city and mar
ried Eugene Beam. Dixon's lawyer In
troduoed the divorce papers In evidence
He claimed that the second marriage was
illegal and that Dixon was free to marry
whom he pleased, Judge White grew
angry and refused to allow evidence to be
introduced on this point, claiming that at
all events Dixon was bigsmist, notwith
standing the decree Of divorce. He In
structed the jury accordingly. The jury
returned verdict of guilty and assessed
his punishment at five years In the peniten-
tiary.

traction.
A gratifyingly large, and exceedingly
well pleased audience greeted the accom-
pli shed soubrette, Matte Vickers at Har-
per's theatre last evening. The clever
little star appeared in the role which has
made her "Jacquine. or Pates
and Diamonds" Owing to the reputa-
ton of the little lady as one OF the
coming queens of comedy on the Ameri-
lean stage, considerable interest was man
ifested regarding her ability to sustain as
star her well won honors. That she
more than met the expectation of the
thoroughly appreciative audience who
witnessed her playing, was apparent.
That she has bright future before her.
none can doubt who witnessed her act
| ing, and she is to be congratulated upon
her decision to assume the leading instead
of playing minor part. She is possessed
of bris ht, expressive face, sweet, clear
voice, a graceful stage presence and
dramatic talent of no mean order. Her
singing and dancing are excellent. while
her mimetic powers are remarkable, hel
presentations of Modjeska and Aimee
being wonderfully true to life. Miss
Vickers was well supported by Mr.. Chas
s. Rogers who is comedian of decided
talent. The remaining members of thu
company are good, and materially assist
in giving pleasant entertainment.
"Jacquine" is clever piece. but Mat
tie Vickers makes it what it is today.

and R. D. Mclean, in Sheridan Knowles
great and ever popular tragedy, Virgin

Prescott:
Marie Prescott is great actress. Sb
reaches the highest ideal in acting il
causing the audience to forget the actres
and only feel with the character. She
terrible in her passion, grand in heroisr
t and heart rending in sorrow, and he
magnetism draws her so closely to be
audience that they forget the play an
weep and laugh with the woman.
And the Topeka Commonwealth speak
thus of Mr.. Mclean:

The examination of the Swtduna bur-
glars-Chllberg, Froerong and Miss Belle
Huyck-has been held. Hiss Huyck
plead guilty to the charge of completely
in the burglaries at Swedona and
Ophiem, and was placed under bonds of
$500 to appear at the November term of
the Mercer county circuit court, and be-
ing unable to procure bondsmen, she was
committed to the Aledo jail, whex she
still remains. Miss Huyck WAS quite we'll
thought of in the community before, but
since her arrest the facts have come out
showing the young lady to be possessed
of anything but the moral, virtuous char
acter with which people had credited her.
1t appears that the female portion of the
episode was not by any means the result
of being led astrsy in innocence, but that
by long association with toughs and bad
characters she had become as hardened
and deliberate a criminal as either of tn,
young men.
Chiberg and Froerong arc still in the
Mercer county Jail, being unable to fur
nish bail. Chilberg was placed unde
$4,000 bonds, and Froerong $500. TIT
former from all accounts is a born klep
tomaniac, it being stated that while at
tending school in Galesburg he made
regular practice of pilfering.
The officers, after Chilberg's arrest
made an examination of his trunk
and discovered number of letters ad
dressed to him by Miss Huyck while h
was al Galesburg, and in the gross an
scope of her correspondence the yo1n
lady records several sales of stolen Al
} ticles to river men and others of her az

The second crop will mature in about
