DRAMATIC CLUB PLANS.
gig Gag, Sparkling Farce Comedy
to Be Presented Next Week


The many friends of the Abilene
Dramatic club will be glad to learn
that an opportunity will be given to
hear the club in new comedy before
the holidays. y
The famous farce-comedy Zig Zig'
has been under rehearsal for several
weeks and will be presented at the
opera house for two nights only,
Thursday and Friday evenings, Decem
Der 10 and 10. Zig Gag" is an up
rosrously funny comedy, a strange
story of cross purposes most wittily
told. 1t Is sure to make big hit and
add much to the growing popularity of
the Dramatic club.
1t is said that a critic was once
asked how often he had laughed during
the presentation of noted comedy and
he replied, sony once Il laughed all he
time" This will be the watchword
of"Zig Tag" 1t is not only very laugh
able but very good in every way. 1t is
good story we'll told, 1t is not buff
foonery but high grade farce comedy
without an Objectionable sentence OF
inference. 1t will test the versatility
of the club, but there is no fear of the
result.
The clubs popular prices will prevail
os usual, Tickets 10, 90 and 80 cents

Winters First Greeting Generous
and Startling.

The force Of whole winters cold,
wind aud snow seemed concentrated In

inches of snow, drifted in some places
to two or three feet, was spreading
over the earth.
II was heavy fall of snow for this
time of the season. Reports from sur
rounding towns say that the storm was
general throughout Central Kansas aud
extended to the west line Of the State
though with lessening force.
Trains were delayed, farmers were
kept busy taking care of stock and

ToUHDKRED IN A GALE.
LONDON, Deo T.-An accident by
which number OF persons lost their
lives occurred this morning In the estu-
airy Of the river Mersey near Liverpool.
A severe gale, a continuation Of yester-
days storm, was blowing, accompanied
BY slight snow fall Suddenly bark
was seen TO founder. The people on
the bark were seen TO rush 10 the sides
Just as the vessel was plunging under,
but they had no time TO escape. IL Is
known that at least twelve persons
persisted
II was evident from the manner in
which the vessel was handled that she
had no pilot on board. She struck on
Burbo bank and the sea made a clean
sweep over her. Fifteen minutes after
she struck her main mast and mizzen
mast went over the side, the vessel
careened and was completely sub
merged. Life boats put out for the
vessel, but she went down before help
reached her. The lifc-savers had n
hard fight in getting TO the vessel
against the furious gale, but not u liv-
ing soul could be found.
The vessel was the Norwegian bark

Liverpool.

terestinR Concert.

The Spring Term CLOSED With an In
terestinR Concert.
JEsUP, GA, May 21.-The Milikin girls
school closed its spring term last night with
an interesting aud successful concert.
Miss Fannie Milikin of this town is prin-
cipal Of the school. She graduated at
Shorter College with first honor in the
spring Of 1890. She is one Of the most
popular young ladies in this section and de-
serves much praise for her untiring efforts
in behalf Of education. She has made quite
a reputation as a teacher, and the Milikin
girls school becomes more popular and bet-
ter known each term. Students from the
school are now attending various colleges
in the state.
Miss Laura Hume of Rome, Ga, the assist
ant teacher. is also a graduate Of Shorter
College, and took the medal In the post
graduate class in 1891. Miss Bette Ledbet-
ter OF Rome, also graduate Of Shorter, is
the accomplished music teacher. Misses
Ledbetter and Hume are extremely popular
in our town and have many warm friends
who wish them pleasant vacation. They
will return aud resume their positions at
the fall term. The average attendance Of
the school during the spring term was
forty-five. The examination Yesterday was
conclusive evidence that the students had
been we'll instructed and spoke in high
terms Oh the pronclency OF the teachers.
The banner drill took the plume as the
most attractive feature OF Friday evenings
entertainment. Each young lady carried a
tanner representing every business enter
prise Of this town. Miss Josie Milikin
waved the Southern Express Company's
banner, which was the most elaborate one
OF them all. Miss Josie also took the medal
as making the most marked improvement
in the music class. Miss jamie Bennett,
Nina Little and Genie Price were honor
ably mentioned as close competitors in the
music class. Miss Allie Leggett bore off
the medal for punotual attendance.
Misses Maggie Milikin, Fannie Purdom,
Minnie GoOdbread and Josie Milikin were
her competitors for this medal. Miss Leg
gett only won by half point. The medals
were delivered by Col. John w. Bennett in
his usual happy and eloquent manner.
The academy was packed to suffocation.
The programme was carried out without
the slightest error. Many times the de-
lighted audience called loudly for the actors
to return to the stage
Misses Ledbetter and Hume leave tonight
for their mountain home.
