The arrangements for the presentation
of the Allegory of the War in song, at the
Crawford Grand on Fridoy evening, June
5th. are being rapidly perfected. and there
is no longer any doubt that it will be given
in most satisfactory manner.
From the rising of the curtain on the
home scene. where the wife bids her hus-
band take his gun and 60 in defence of his
country TO the closing where Columbia is
crowned queen of the ocean. each scene is
resplete with soul-stirring incidents, mirth
or tears.
No man who marched through Georgia;
no man who was grated into the army
no woman who worked in a Sanitary
Commission" can afford to stay away, and
the sons and daughters Of veterans" can
not afford to miss the opportunity of see
ing in song and tableaux the realistic re-
petition of war times, while everybody
will enjoy the soul-stirring or touching
songs.
The sale Of seats already warrants every
body in making haste to secure seat.

TIE FIRE THIS MORNING.
IN the West side-A one Story Frame Building

At about O'Clock this morning an
alarm of fire was turned in from the West
Side. The department responded prompt
ly and soon after arriving on the scene
had the fire under control. The fire had
been burning for some time before the
alarm was turned in. The house, a one
story frame building belonging to Chas
Alley, was located on the corner of End and
Wichita streets, and was occupied by
Alley as a lodging house. The ORR
gin of the fire could not be learned. The
rooms were nicely furnished, and but
little of the furniture was saved. Nothing
but the walls remain standing.

The English Church and Theology.

What occurred some years ago in Man
chester affords remarkable illustration Of
the fact that theological prosecutions serve
only TO emphasize our church's indiffer-
ence 20 theology. In that town were two
priests. named respectively Green and
Knox-Little, who had both protested the
same high" creed and both prscticed the
same elaborate ritual. The former, being
the less popular Of the two, was the less
expensive 70 prosecute; he WAS therefore
selected for that purpose by the Church as
ISOLATION, and was condemned 70 term Of

LEWIS ACADEMY.
GUEST.

This institution has just closed its fifth
years work. Although the last year has
been one of great financial depression, yet
the enrolment of the school shows clearly
how its work is appreciated by the citizens
of Wichita and the surrounding country.
During the year 300 pupils were enrolled;
the average attendance per term was 22l.
The school is unique in one respect, viz.
it receives pupils of kindergarten age and
trains them in classical study until ready
for college, or in its scientific and normal
departments for the active duties Of life.
Since the organization of the academy
four classes have been graduated. The
first had three members; the second, seven;
the third, twelve, and the fourth the mem
bers of which presented such satisfactory
final exercises on last Thursday numbered
eight young men and ten young ladies.
Of the young men of this fourth class,
two will enter Princeton college next fall,
one will go to Yale, one to Emporia, two to
McAlister, Mimi, and two to the State
university. OF the young ladies, one will
enter Mt Holyoke, while others will at
tend other institutions of high rank. An
other important feature in the work of the
academy is the careful attention given to
Christian training, the Bible being regu-
lar text book, in the curriculum. A fine
junior class is ready for entering upon the
work of the senior year, and the outlook
for the next year is encouraging. The ex-
amiDations this year were very satisfac-
tory to all who attended them, evincing
that careful, thorough work had been
done both by pupils and teachers. Gradu-
ates can enter either Emporia college or
the State university without further ex-
aminations on the recommendation of the
faculty of the academy.

A SUSPENSION OF EXECUTION OBTAINED

Judge Shields returned from Washing
ton, D. c., night before last where he has
been on the Adams case. He got all be
went after, he says, namely, a writ of
error, and a suspension of execution until
the case can be settled. OF course Adams
will not hang on the date set for his exc
cution and Judge Shields says he is salts
fed that new trial will be given him
next fall. He bases himself on the fact
that the United States supreme court
rendered decision in a case similar to the
Adams case. 1t was in the case against
Ball of the east district of Texas which
came up a month or so ago, the supreme
court squashing the indictment But
however that may be, Adams will not
hang on June 26. The judge has made
great efforts for the convicted man and is
highly pleased with the success that has
so far crowned his labors.
