HE MAY ASK,
"Where Did You Get That
Hat I"

About 10 o'clock last night, two young
men and two young girls who had been to
a meeting Of the Salvation Army, were on
their way, in East Sedalia, to the homes
of the girls, one of these last being named
Wells, residing oD Saline street north of
the round house. and the other being Ida
Kiddwell, residence not known. The
young men are not known. While
the quartette was going along
Engineer street, the brothers
of the Wells girl made an attack on the
youog fellow who was with their sister,
and in the scufie one of them got the stran-
gers hat, derby of good make. The
young man ran from his assailants, md
Officer Barnett, who was attracted to the
scene, secured the hat, which is now in his
possession. The girls and the other young
man proceeded homeward after the melee
without trouble.
the owner Of the hat is notified that he
can recover his tile by calling on either
officers Barnett or Jim Gossage, in East
Sedalia. He will know his hat by the in
itials al. j. NJ" which are nicely en-

Later News Concerning the In
jured i'm the Terrible Theatre
Panic.

Johnstown, Pa, Dec. 12.-The accident
at Parke's opera house Tuesday night
is an awful illustration of the highly ner-
vous condition Of a large number of the
people of this unfortunate city. There has
been a disposition to draw morbid con-
illusions from the Conemaugh calamity,
and it has fastened itself upon the women,
young folks, and many of the excitable
middle-sged people. There has been more
or less disposition to 60 to the theater
try to forget the horrors of last spring.
Other amusements have also been eagerly
sought Tor the same purpose.
These were some of the reasons for
the large audience at the theatre that
night. There is no exaggeration In saw
ing that there has been an underlined but
unmistskable feeling of forboding of
coming i'll, and this is what led to the
slaughter last night. Those who started
out OF the house went from curiosity to see
where the FIRE was, but they did so ex-
citedly and the instant effect was panic
The bell which struck the alarm of fire
was so close TO the theatre that il seemed
to be sounding in the building, and never
was confusion more pTecipitate and awful
among frightened human beings. The
ferocity OF the struggle by some of the
foreign mill workmen was as revolving as
it was disastrous in its results. Blind
fury and brute strength were unclaimed
together, and the result is seen In the list
of dead and on the bodies of the injured.
No more deaths have resulted, the
number of dead, as before stated, being
ten. The following is list of those
seriously hurt, some of whom will likely
die. Probably fifty others sustained
slight injuries.
Henderson's Morgue, where the dead
were laid, was visited by thousands of
people to-day. Many came from curios-
ity, while here and there in the throng
would be found bereaved one, mourning
the loss of parent, child or near relative.
The funerals of the victims will take place
on Friday. The theater will not reopen.
The city officials are being severely criti-
cised for permitting the use of the build
ing as thester, as it is claimed it was
known to be unsafe. A thorough investi.
CATION of the rumors of alleged clubbing
by the police during the panic
will be made.

NcN oIk hOltu.
A fat woman, with a very red face,
got oD a crowded Broadway car
yesterday. She was so exceedingly
fat that it was great effort for her
to stand at all, and a young man, as
thin as she was stout, squeezed up out
of bis seat, and lifting his hat grace
fully invited her to sit down.
The fat lady looked him over with
a coEtemptuous CLINT in her eyes, and
then, in loud and angry tone, said ::
"Young man, / suppose you
thought you was awful cunnin' to ask
a woman as fat as am to sit in the
six-inch space that you have been
occupyin. I'm fat, but not foolish,
and if you thought you would mortify
me before all these people, why yer

you know who's to be mortified"

"Oh, you didn't notice, didn't you ?
Well this'll teach you to notice next
time and not insult respectable
ladies in such a way. I'm fat and
I'm not ashamed of it. but if l was

The young man tried again to say
his intentions were the best, bnt she
cut him of ::

here and sit down again in this crack,

man had wisely fed the car at the
