ISL Pluukard

The Yankee comedy ''Si Plunkard" will be
given at the Seattle opera-house Friday and
saturday evenings. A San Francisco exchange
in referring to this show says:
Full houses to the door greeted Mr.. J. C.
Lewis and company at the 0rpheum opera house
on Saturday and Sunday nights in his Yankee
comedy of ''Si Plunkard," for its first two per-
mances. The play has caught on. Mr.. Lewis
and the company have created a sensation.
"si Piunkard" is q graphic and amusing pict-
ure OF rural life and characterizations. Mr..
Lewis in the title role of the Yankee peddler
and drum major in the Fairview band, brings
plenty OF humor to mis- part and creates q deal
of amusement. The inventor, the bogus stock
speculator. the old farmer and Sis pretty
sweetheart are all well sustained characters

The Dead Vagrant Lived Under False
Pretenses.

The coroner held post-mortem examination
yesterday on the remains of George w. Lake,
the vagrant who died Sunday in the city prison.
and Ii was found that death was produced by
chronic alcoholism. 1t is denied that Lake is
the son of Judge ID. w. Lake, of San Francisco,
now deceased When Lakes body was removed
to the morgue Sunday evening, Undertakes
Bonney d Stewart telegraphed to Chief Crow
ley. of the San Francisco police, asking him to
notify the Lake family of the death, and yester-
day morning Chief Crowley sent an answer as
follows:
Judge Lake has been dead three years. Dan.
lei W. Lake is no relative and is not known to
the family
II is claimed that Judge Lake had only one
son and two daughters The sons name was
Fred. Bolton Rogers, chief of police, knew
Fred Lake well, having gone TO school with him
when both were boys in San Francisco. He says
that the dead man is not the son of the Cali
fornia jurist. Judge C. Tyler, who knew
Judge Lake and had frequently seen his only
son, also stated positively that the deceased is
not Fred Lake or any member of the Lake
family.
Lake claimed to be son of Judge Lake and
his statements were generally believed. His
relatives. II he has any, are not known, and he
will probably be buried in paupers grave.

Close of the Public Schools.

The Kirksville public schools
will close on Friday, April "a,
1891. The written examinations
for promotion will be held the first
of the closing week. On Wednes-
day and Thursday Of next will oc-
cur an oral examination and re-
view of the work of the year. To
this examination and review the
board of trustees and patrons OF
the schools are cordially invited.
There will be no public exhibition
at the close of school but declama-
tions, essays. ETC., will be heard at
the intervals between the recita-
tions during the two days review.
We prefer that the patrons of the
schools should see a display of the
daily work of the classes and judge
of the efficiency of the work done
by that than to spend the last few
weeks of school preparing for a
public exhibition for display.
We think patrons should visit
the schools more, get better &C
quainted with the teachers, and
see what and how things al done
at school.
On Friday the pupils will be
given cards of promotion and as
signment to grades for next year.
Let every patron of the schools
visit us during the last week.
