ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAWFORD GRAND.

What brain, tired of business clatter,
cannot find restful enjoyment in gazing on
the wide landscape of the opening scene,
of The Old Homestead. on the realistic
farmhouse scene, with clustering old
fashioned flowers, and breathe this fresh
air of native hills or plains. One reason
why an audience is so carried away by this
successful play is, because so many of US
were born in the country, and recognize
the fidelity of the scenes presented. Many
successful banker and merchant was
born in just such an old red farm house,
and many of US can remember the stories
of our parents when telling OF their early
life in the country
The glimpses of simple country life, and
and the homely virtues of Joshua Whit
comb are lessons that have a purifying
and humaniZing tendency.
At the Crawford Grand Wednesday and
Thursday next. the sale of seats will open
Monday morning at 9 o'clock.

already beyond control when Mr. Smith
saw them. He dropped his samples and
caught one of the horses by the bride and
after being dragged about sixty feet az the
risk of his life he managed TO stop them
jus. in time to save a collision. Nr. and
Mrs. Martin were protuse in their thanks
and even wanted TO reward bis bravery

OUTRAGEOUS.

Officer Longmire was called to room %,
Of the Throckmorton and Davidson block
on Topeka avenue last night. 1t is occupied
by two young girls of undoubted respec-
liability, who work at dressmaking for a
living. The girls stated that they were
greatly annoyed by the young men in the
next room singing vulgar songs of the
worst description. The officer went and
demonstrated with the young men, posi-
bly, with good effect, although they at first
seemed to think that they could insult
people with IMMUNITY while in their own
room. Today the girls will go with the
officer and swear out a warrant. How
such idiotic specimens of men are allowed
to live is incomprehensible to them.

last evening at the First Baptist church.
r. +. Knight presiding.
Opening prayer by f. A. North.
Recitation by Frank Organ, "Shores of
Tennessee"
The question discussed was Resolved
that Ireland should have Home Rule"

large appreciative audience:
Affirmative-H. E. McElroy, f. A.
North, S. d. Lieurance.
Negative-H. S. McMichael, r. L.
knight. Prof. Theo. Forby.
The earnestnesS that characterized the
words and manner of McElroy, the concise
statements and impressive manner of ii.
S. McMicheal, the logic and eloquence OF
T. A. North; the aggressive spirit and
oratory of of r. +. Knight the energetic
forcible statements and gestures OF > ID.
Lieurauce; the apparent sincerity of con-
victions, well expressed by Prof. L. Forby
is evidence of the combined ability and
argumentative power that makes 1t ex-
ceedingly difficult for judges. however
competent they may be. to evenly balance
the scales of justice, especially when the
forces are as evenly balanced as they were
last evening.
The Judges appointed to bear each one
seventh of the responsibility of the decis-
ion were J. L. Carson, j. Z. Adams, j. l..
Burns. W. J. Wilson, H. A. East, Miss

teresting discussion. The exercises will
begin at $50.
