"A nance EOr EFec aUNeTCleluSs
The United States Investor has de-
cided to offer $1,000 in prizes for
essays of not more than n column
each respecting American cities and
towns.
We take pleasure in announcing
that the following distinguished gentle
men have consented to act as judges
to award these prizes:
Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, of Mass.
Hon. Charles r. CRISP, of Georgia.
Hon. Julius G. Burrows, of Michigan.
The prizes will be subdivided as
follows:
For the best essay respecting any
American city or town, $500: for the
second best essay respecting any Amer.
lean city Or town, $500; for the third
best essay respecting any American
city or town, 5000.
Each essay is to deal with the merits
of the city or town chosen as its subject,
either as a desirable place of residence
as affording opportunities for invest
ment; as a place of peculiar location;
as a place of unusual rapid growth; as
place in which an unusually large
amount Of capital and labor is en-
ployed in any particular industry; as a
place possessed Of great u~ndeveloped
resources, such as water power, coal
and iron. etc, which is peculiar be-
cause it has long escaped attention; as
a place Of great historical interest, or
as possessing any other claim to unique
interest or special distinction.
In awarding the prizes, the judge
will consider the literary merits Of the
essays, as we'll as the merits Of the
town or city described. They will not,
however, go outside Of the essay itself
for evidence that the town or city
possesses any special interest. Any
claims which even a wellknown city
may have to distinction within the
intent upon which these prizes are
offered must rest wholly upon what il
said by the essaylst within the space OF
the column allotted to HIM. The con
dition, together with the consideration
Of literary merit. will give the essayists
an even chance. All the essays which
are intended for competition should BIZ
marked as such and Forwarded t,
either of the offices Of the UNITED
States Investor, 10 Pearl street. Boston
1886 Broadway, New York; 241 Ches
tnut street, Philadelphia.
This will be an excellent opportunity
for some of Hot Springs many literary
people to gain some ~notoriety, make
some money, and at the same time
give our city some excellent advertia
ing. W. would suggest that the bes
literary students at the college ente
the competition, and it would be Of ad
vantage to the city, and very likely I
themselves If the professors would joi
in the competition.

Rentfrow's Musical Comedy Com
pany presented this freezing extra
vaganza to q good sized audience
last Tuesday evening. 1t was funny
very funny. Every body went there
to laugh, and they did laugh, wheth.
er the actor was trying to provoke
mirth or not. Indeed some OF the
"kids" felt called upon to laugh
when Miss Della jackson wa
sweetIy singing "Coming Through
the Rye" but were soon looked after
by the police. Charlie Sweet as the
tramp and waiter, was good, as was
also r. A. Coleman, as Teddy" and
the policeman. The situations were
ridiculous, and at times 1t was hard
to imagine just how it all would end,
but at the finale, peace reigned In
the household, and the "lovers''
were united. Excellent singing was
a pleasing feature Of the entertain.
ment, and the compsny's orchestra
WAS good.

Mr.. shader In Trouble.

Mr.. H. s. Shaffer, who some
months ago moved from Sslina to
Topeka, seems to have had some
bad luck In the capital city, In
which lie IL swindled out Of 81, 200

d. Knox. To secure himself he at.
tached two pieces Of land near To.
peka which had been transferred the
day before the failure, and also tool

household goods, and in the trial oil
the case In which Knox tries to dis
solve the attachment the following
particulars came out:
When put on the witness stand
Mr.. Shaffer told he came from Salins
to Topeka with s32 600 which be wish.

Saturday afternoon when he reached
Topeka and Sunday morning he
went to the First Methodist church
to worship.
A stranger who he afterward wa
informed was Rev. J. ID. Knox fill.
ed the pulpit and preached about the
"Prodicsl Son" and told the story sc
pathetically that II went 10 the heart
Of the stranger from Salina. The
next day he CHANGED to meet the
preacher on the street car and thank
ed him for the sermon. In theiI
conversation Knox learned that his
Methodist brother had some money
to invest. He told him he was In
that business himself and could
place his money to good advantage.
The money went into KnoX'i
hands, the bank broke and ShaffeI
was listed rs q creditor not secured
A few Sundays after the failure
ShAffer again attended the NJ. E
church In Topeka. While there be
saw Knox drop o check of supposed
large denomination in the contribu.
ton basket. Shaffer met him at the
door and said:
brother Knox, this don't looh
just right. BY your failure I Am
unable to contribute any thing r.
the Lord, but you, although you are
reported to have failed, still stand
before the people as . large and
cheerful giver."

give the item without comment:
A. p. Collins, who received three
votes for secretary Of the board Of
agriculture, 10 likely to become the
alliance candidate for state senator
In Saline and Ottawa counties. He
has been representative and under
stands parliamentary tactics. He
left the republican party In the
spring of 1890. His veiws on nation
al politics are conservative, but In
state matters he would not suit the
democracy unless he has changed
many of his former notions.
