THE WARD TROUPE.


| S"RcAAVE NVusPauy ~ Every neSpects
The Ward Comedy Company have
appeared in this city on three occa.
sions. Tuesday evening they pre-.
sented "1nshavogue," yesterday they
sang 1.-THE Star.Spangled Banner
during the Fourth of July exercises,
and last evening they appeared in
"The Red Fox," with Mr.. Ward in
the title role. Mr.. and Mrs. Ward
also contributed in no small degree
to the enjoyment Of the exercises in
the Theater yesterday, Mr.. Ward hav-
ing rendered two masterpieces-both
of composition and delivery. The
first "The Crutch in the Corner" a
pathetic incident which grew out of
the civil war, and the second being
"Hans Dunderberg's Lecture on
Wimmen," while Carrie Clarke Ward
was the soloist of the national hymn
of the Gland of the free and the home
of the brave" assisted by Mr.. De.
Lano, who sang the first verse, and
by the entire company.
The representations Of these talent
ed artists are worthy of the highest
praise, and their witticisms, drolleries,
songs and dances kept the house
in an almost continual uproar from the
beginning to the end of the perform.
ances.
Mr.. ard Mrs. Ward, with a wisdom
acquired by experience, have selected
their assistants with the utmost care,
both as to histrionic ability and YER.
satility; and tho result is shown at
every performance, which is of a
much higher grade than is usually
seen outside the larger cities.
Another point to be noted in favor
OF this troupe is that each and every
member is evidently highly cultivated
and trained for the special roles or
line Of characters, which he or she
assumes. The result is as has been
seen here, to wit: A succession Of
high class presentations which leave
nothing to be reasonably desired in
their line.
TO be sure, actors and actresses
are always expected to be ladies and
gentlemen. But all who have suffer.

who were disgrace to it, will feel
Kindly toward the TIMES for stating
hat the members OF the Ward troupe
nave proved themselves to be thorough
aides and gentlemen. And of Miss
Annie Mifflin, Miss Jennie Lamont,
md Messrs. o. H. Barr, Frank Hatch,
Z. Z. franklin, and Oscar Don the
'eople of Wood River will retain
lone but pleasant memories.

LAND REVIEW.
Women's Rights Under the Homestead
Laws.

Womeu's Rights Under the Homestead
Laws.
Unmarried women, widows, maid.
ems and deserted wives, who are owe,
the age OF Fl years, are entitled &c
all the rights, privileges and benefits
under the homestead laws that car
be enjoyed by men.
The mother Of living child OF
children, whether widow, deserted
wife or unfortunate single person.
may acquire title to land as the head
OF the family, though under the age
of21.
Widows of deceased entrymen
succeed to the rights of their hus-
bands and may make final proof and
take title in their own names. 1t is
not absolutely necessary that they
should reside upon the land after tho
death Of the husband, as residence
or cultivation for the prescribed time
is ell that is demanded of widows
and minor heirs.
The widow of person who served
for 30 days or more during the war of
the rebellion in the United States
Army. Navy or Marine Corps, and
died without making an entry, may
make an entry the same as her hus-
band, il living, might do, and in
making FINAL proof receive credit in
lieu OF residence on the land for the
period Of the husbands service, no. to
exceed four years.
The deserted wife Of q homestead
entrymap may make final proof as his
agent aDl have patent issue in the
name OF her husband, or she may con-
test his entry on the ground of aban-
donmcnt of the claim and after can
collation. enter the land in her own
name. The latter is the wiser course,
for many reasons.
An unmarried woman, widow or
otherwise, having initiated an entry
may marry without affecting her right
to the land, provided she complies
with the legal requirements. Should
she marry prior to the time when she
might make her proof and perfect
her claim, and leave the land to reside
with her husband elsewhere, the entry
would be liable to cancellation for
abanaonmcnt-but not on account of
the marriage.
When man and a woman each
make homesteal entry and marry be-
fore making final proof, one OF the en-
tries must be relinquished, or commu-
ted, at their choice. If they live to
gether on ono homestead, the entry
covering the other homestead will be
iabls to contest for abandonment,
even though the land be cultivated
snd improved. The homestead Law
requires three things to give FINAL title,
irst, honest residence, second good
cultivation, to crops OF otherwise, and
bird, fair improvements in the mat
er of buildings, fences and the like.
Compliance with only one or two of
hese requirements will not satisfy the
sw. Full compliance with all three
must he satisfactorily
hown for the entire period ut the date
vl'sn the fual proof is made.
The daughter of DECEASED COLDER,
ailor or marine, if otherwise quaii6.
ID, may enter land in her own right,
Notwithstanding an entry may have
'een made by her guardian and per-
ected for her benefit, during her
minority. She can thereby secure
NO homesteads.

NOVEL WAGERS.
Men Who Have Fallen Il Victim TO the
Wiles Of an Election Bet.

The most interesting matter NJ pres
ent 10 the public is accounts of wagera
made on the recently great battle ofthe
ballots. The more humorous or silly
the wager the more interest Is shown
In the matter by the public. The
NEWS. DEMOCRAT has the pleasure Of
submitting q few Of these to the readers.
The risibillties Of C%aIrolltOnites we're
excited on Friday by the carrying out
of q wager by Prosecutor.elect n. Il.
Mcdonald and DR., Graham, both prom.
inent citizens. Mr.. Mcdonald agreed
that II Mr., Cleveland was reelected he
would wheel DIR, Graham about tho
public square and forfeit n box Of
cigars IN case he upset him. DR..
Graham agreed 10 carry out his part Of
the wager IN case OF the election of Mr..
Harrison. The fates decided against
DR.. Graham and In accordance with the
agreement he favored his friend with q
ride and the populace with much
amusement, Now that IL rs over IL Is
hard to tell upon whom rs the Joke.
There was no understanding that the
smoOthest route should be chosen, and
so It's said the Doctor, accidentally Of
course, ran over all the rough places he
could find. lie succeeded 80 well that
the Prosecutor would have been willing
TO LET him Off before one.quarter Of the
route had been covered, but the Doctor
preferred TO curry out the agreement.
It's said the Prosecutor Is a very sore
man and will never again make u SINH
lar wager.
A very curious wager was that made
at Dalton by George Dague, a butcher.
He was q strong Cleveland man and
agreed that IL Harrison was elected no
would put n ring Of bologna about his
neck and march through town in front
OF the band. The date Of this interest
ing performance has not been deter-
mined upon, but II Ia eagerly awaited.
Ills said Attorney Garrett, of Nasal.
Ion, fell u victim TO the wiles Of an
election bet. The Imaginable feature OF
the affair Is that Mr.. Garrett Ia u
staunoh Republican. He made q wa
ger on pluralities. In certain States and
lost, ard now he will be Obliged TO carry
a 6andanna umbrella for thirty days,
and every time u member Of the Y. M.

for the following naughty eifusion: An

ring from a Handsome railroader on the
result of the election. IL Cleveland
