obitua aYy.

Died, ON the 10th day of June, 1890,
Frederick Singer, aged IS years. The
funeral services were held at his residence
on Railroad Avenue, June 18th, and con-
Quoted by Revs. Rose, of the Methodist
church, and Wright, of the Presbyterian
church. Mr.. Singer was born in Wales,
England, and came to this country early
in the seventies, when quite a young
man. and after short residence in To-
peka came to this part of the state, then
the frontier In 1877 he married Miss
Lulu Todd, then resident of Dodge,
and they have ever since resided here.
She had ever been kind, Industrious
and faithful wife to him, and together
they had buIlded themselves very pleas
ant home. During Fred's Jas he was
familiary called residence in Dodge he
has held many responsible positions,
having been sheriff of our county, mar
shal of our city, and Deputy United
States Marshal. He possessed kindness
of heart rarely exceeded-honest in all
his dealings with his fellow-men, fond of
his family and faithful to his friends.
The deceased was probably as well
known as any man in Western Kansas,
and few who knew him that did not prize
his friendship. He has gone to his final
rest and will not soon be forgotten by his
many friends in the Southwest. The
Times extends Its sympathy to the grief
stricken widow and many friends, with
the hope that they and it may live many
years to cast flowers upon his grave.

other color. Each guest is requested to
tell what she considers are the very best
aids to the retention and cultivation Of
woman's beauty. The menu consists Of
the lightest, airiest gastronomic delica-
cies, ranging from the lightsome puff or
omelet souffle to the feeting foam Of
champagne. The luncheon favors in one
particular instance were small hand glass
mirrors of repousse silver so placed In
front of each winsome beauty that she
could easily review her charms.
The Napoleonic luncheon given in
honor of Mrs. Cleveland few weeks ago
was charmingly original. All the ap.
polntments as far as manageable were of
the era of Napoleon l. The relics Of
'the little corporal which were display
ed recalled many interesting incidents of
his caree.

Relief Corps made an attabk on the out
post, just before the Post closed, and the
boys surrendered at discretion, after
which the president made short ad-

hearty support in all their good works,
and ended by order the boys to report in
the east rooms of the Post, which was
promptly done. There we found boun-

hour was spent very pleasantly in dis

The College Closing exercises on last
Thursday evening were well attended, a
large audience being present, and the
character of the program was excellent.
The President stated at the close that
the entertainment was the best the
school had yet presented, and We fully
concur in his opinion. The selections
were of very high order, presenting
some of the best of our English classic
literature. Some of the recitations, es-
says and declamations showed quite de-
gree of talent in power of delineation.
There was not poor performance in the
list, and some of them were superior.
There might be one criticism made, and
that is that some of them did not speak
loud enough, but time and practice will
abundantly overcome that. Considering
the disadvantages under which the pro-
fessors and students have labored we
wonder that they have been able to do
as we'll as they did. We sincerely hope
that these will soon be removed and then
our College will have a bright future be-
fore it. Our people should talk and
work for this institution. 1t is the best
investment Dodge City has.

Between Two Fires.

Kansas City star.
Major Mckinley who has probably
been watching very closely the progress
made by the Senate finance committee in
the consideration OF his tariff bill, is re-
ported as saying that the changes which
have been made are comparatively few
and unimportant. II this statement be
correct. the Iniquities of the measure will
be fully exposed when it is returned to
the Senate. Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Vest
will have an opportunity of laying bare
the outrsges and enormities of the delib-
crate increase of the tariff in defiance of
popular protest, which they will not al
low to pass unimproved, and it is posi-
BILE that Mr.. Plumb may take hand in
the exposure. The well established and
firmly-rooted courtesy of the Senate
will scarcely permit the measure to be
railroaded through that body as it was in
the house, even if the party caucus shall
be strong enough to compel its passage.
1t begins to look as if the protectionists
were between two fires, or. as Mr.. In
gals would put it, between the devil
and the deep sea-" If the latest news
from Washington be true, the Mckinley
bill will pass the Senate substantially
the same as when it passed the House,
will be signed by the President, and be-
come a law; or else no tariff measure
will pass the present Congress. In both
cases the protectionists now In control of
Congress will show disposition to ig-
more the growing sentiment of the coun-
try in favor of lower taxes. In the one
case they will pass law which the far
mers have condemned. which q large
line of manufacturers have condemned
which the wholesale dealers and mer
chants almost without exception have
condemned. In the other case they will
attest their unwiliingness to pass any
law unless they can have one which will
pander to their greed and enable them to
increase their extortions. In either case
the advocates of protection will 60 be-
fore the people next fall convicted Of the
deliberate purpose of plundering the
masses for the benefit of the few whom
they represent.
