The Young Ladies' Dramatic club.
of this city, made a complete success
of the popular drama, "Rebecca's
Triumph" which they presented last
Thursday evening to large and ap-
preciative audience. The proceeds
were nearly $50, which after deductlng
expenses, was equally divided between
the four churches of this city.
The characters in the play were all
ladies, these being represented by Miss
Jessie O'Bryan, as a wealthy lady; Miss
Agnes Samuel, as widow; Miss Helen
Cameron, as a founding, Miss Alice
Freeman, as a spinster; Mrs. Thos.
Dunn, as an Irish girl; Miss Stella
Sparks as cOlored girl and Miss Katie
b. Drysdale, as vagrant. Besides
these there was a young ladies' cooking
club, made up of the following popular
young ladies of this city, with Mrs.
Thos. Doran as their leader: Misses
Maggie Drysdale. Mile Noble, Minnie
McClearey, Sarah McGrath, Carrie
Carmichael, Cora McClearey, Mary
EsmOnd and Lulu Hahn.
Mrs. Waldron Chase was the pianist
and her skilled touch of the instrument
added much to the enjoyment Of the
occasion.
The young ladies all knew their parts
and it was the universal expression
that they represented the best amateur
talent that had ever been exhibited in
this city.
A pleasant feature of the play was
the singing interpreted in it, and
especially very pretty duet by Miss
Lulu Hahn and Miss Millie Noble.
Miss Hahn is quite young; but she IS
fast developing as splendid soprano,
and though this was her second appear
ance before an audience as a vocalist,
she deeply impressed her hearers with
her wonderfully sweet voice.

Hazslton Happenings.

ID. b. CrOll has moved the CrOll-Her-
rington stock Of goods into the building
formerly occupied by B. K. Harrington
& Co.. There has been several thous-
and bushels of feed shipped to Hazelton

ton mill several cars of corn; the Hazel
ton stock farm several cars, besides a
great deal was hauled in by wagons
from north of here and hundreds of
tons of ground feed has been sold in
Hazelton. Still we don't make any fuss
about the large amount of trade done
here. 4. R. A. Cross has sold his livery
barn and stock to MIR. Taylor of
Wichita for $4,000. The city election
passed off quietly, there being but the
one ticket. The vote was very light.
only SO being polled, the women vote
only numbered seven as against about
eighty last spring. HI. B. Steck is
having planted on his farm adjoining
Hazelton on the northwest, 800 straw
berries 1000 forest trees, 500 raspberries,
100 rhubarb, 100 horse radish and four
acres of walnuts. 4. d. "A. j. Nelson's

up, Friday. 30. J. Potter has quit
carpentering, and gone to tilling the
Kansas soil for a support. :. j. w.
Herrington's little girl has been very
sick for the last few days. i. Mr.. White,
Mr.. Manson and Mr.. Pursivel from
near Lodi, were in the city the other
day buying corn and groceries. If
Medicine Lodge don't look to her laur-
els they will be worn by little town
in the southeastern corner of the coun-
ty, for our merchants are reaching out
for trade. wv. j. Whallon has been on
the sick list for few days. Frank
Flower sold Frank Taylor three two
year old steers Saturday for $65. :. E. The

The special election in this school
district, No. /, held on Monday, 9th
inst, resulted in All votes fayoring the
the issuing of so, 600 bonds to build a
new school house to one vote against
the proposition. The election board
was organized by the selection of Mr..
d. j. Aber and Mesdames E. A. Geppert
and Mamie v. O'Bryan as judges and
Mrs. Hattie Dunn and Mrs. A. M.
HOuchin as clerks. This was the first
instance in this county where ladies had
held similar positions, and considerable
interest was elected on account of the
the new departure. The ladies appear
ed at ease in their new vacations, and
commanded the respect of every one
who visited the polls. When it came
to counting the ballots, they were GER
tainly much more rapid than any cleo
tion board that ever sat in this city.
They did not stop to study over ballot
once; they did not calculate on who
might have cast the vote, and they did
not figure on the question of whether
the voter knew what he, or she, was
doing when they voted. Hangers-on
around polling places will appreciate
this reform, at least.
Many ladies turned out and voted for
the bonds, they generally being furnish
ed with conyeyances to and from the
polls. Buggies, carriages and buses
were run during good part of the day.
1t will now be for the school board to
call a special school meeting, OF cleo
tors and patrons that they may decide
on what disposition must be made of
the old school building, If any; and then
the board may proceed to call for plans
and let the contract for the new build
ing.
Twenty thousand dollars is sufficient
to erect and furnish a magnificent
edifice, a finer public school building,
in fact, than any in Wichita, Winfield
or Wellington, or in fact ia Southern
Kansas.
The people have asked for this i'm
provement and now they should have it.
The following notice was issued and
posted yesterday:
NOTICE OF SPECIAL SCHOOL MEETING.
A special meeting of the voters of school dis
trict No. 1. county Of Barber, and state of Kan
sas, will be held at the Court House, on the 10th
day Of April 1888, at 1880 o'clock p. m, for the
purpose of considering the best disposition to
be made Of present school building, and also to
consider size and cost Of new building to be
erected, and the purchase of additional grounds.
Dated this 10th day of April, 1883.
Called by order of District Board, or a major
ity of the legal voters.

a respected citizen, a beloved hus.

coincidence of a host of sorrowing
friends goes out to those whom his
demise has robbed of a protector and
guardian.
Mr.. Cakes will be buried to.mor.

Released without Trial.

Memphis, Oct. Am extraord'-
nary scene was witnessed in the po'
lice court this morning, when negro
who had shot two white men to death
was discharged by the police Judge.
The room was crowded with whites
and negroes, and when Judge MADDEN
told the accused that he might 60 free,
and he went out almost Utterly IN
the arms of his wife and children, there
was an outburst which the officers OF
the court were powerless to quell.
The negro is James Conley' the
sexton of Zion colored cemetary. The
men he killed were Will w. Eastman,
the nephew of wealthy lumber dealer
of this city, and ]. ID. Smith, boss
carpenter. Last Sunday afternoon
these two white men, much the worse
for liquor, were passing Conley's house
| in front of which his mule was hitched.
Smith took hold of the mule and be.
gan to unhitch it, announcing his in
tention to take ride. Conley came
out and told HIM to leave the mule
alone. Upon this the two white men
rushed into the negro's yard to as.
sault him, and he retreated into the
house and closed the door. They
tried to break in the door, and while
thus engaged were fired on by Con-
ley from window.
Eastman was instantly killed. and
Smith received wounds from which he
died few hours later. Conley fled
fearing violence at the hands of 9
crowd at a saloon not far away, bu
surrendered himself to the police mex
day.
Two of the best lawyers in the state
: volunteered to defend him, and wher
: the examination came on this morning
a number of his white neighbors test
, fled to his good character. When th'
, testimony was concluded the cour
said: II don't intend to encumbe
the county with the cost of trial IL
this case, as it can only result in tn
prisoners acquital. He was pursued
n by two drunken DULLES into his Owl
house-his castle in a legal sense
whether it be a cabin or mansion

A YOUTHFUL FORGER.
He FORCES the Names of Two
Prominent Citizens to Checks
for Money!,

for Money.
Constable Lee Jenkins this morn.
ing arrested young man by the name
Of Fred S. Kuhn, on two charges OF
forgery. Kuhn is youth who arrived
in Waco few weeks ago, and since
his arrival has devoted himself very
largely to getting acquainted with the
quality of liquids dispensed in Texas.
He comes of highly respectable and
well.to do family in New York, but
seems to have been unable to resist
the temptation to tread the broad and
dangerous way which leads to disgrace,
desolation and despair. Last night he
secured from Mrs. Lehman $50 upon
a check to which he had forged the
name Of J. A. Early, of the firm of Early
g. Finks. He also attempted to pass
and negotiate check to which he had
signed the name Mr.. w. w. Seley, of
the Waco State Bank. This last check
was for $3.50. Kuhn is only IS
years old and was so deeply under the
influence of intoxicants as. to have
no idea of the gravity of the crime he
had committed, for he spoke Of the
cashing of the check to Mrs. Lehman
in a most unconcerned way shortly af-
ter he had secured the money. His
mother, we are told, has tried to re-.
claim him by the exercise of every.
thing that mothers love and abund-
ant wealth could suggest, and fin.
ally sent him away from New York
to this city where he has acquaintance
IN the hope Of taving him. He, some
SIX or eight days ago, was given EN-.
ployment as clerk in the store Of
Levine Brothers. He has been drink.
ing constantly and heavily, however,
since he came to Waco and to the de.
.iiu,A and torpor resultant from alco-
hohsm is his crime to be attributed.
The grand jury will investigate his
case at once.

The Close Of a Long Christian
Life.

Just as we are going to press we
lealn of the death OF Mrs. Walker, the
aged mother OF Judge ]. c. Walker.
The history of her long life we have
not time to present to-day. She had
attained extreme old age, and her
death was but the wearing out of the
mortal machinery. She had long since
passed the allotted three score and
ten and had death come at any time for
many years past her friends coLld. OF
have been surprised. Mrs. Walker
was one of the few living pensioners
of the war of 1872, in which her hus.
band had served as a soldier.
