/. IA Texas Steer" was great sue
cess. In the first place it Is side
splitting play. The dialogue is witty
and humorous and the situations are
ludicrous and interesting. There
isn't a serious or pathetic word in 1t.
1t is all fun from beginning to end.
Sometimes little broad and uproar-
ious, but always clean and wholesome:
And in the second place it was well
played. Professionals might have
done it better, of course. But one
would go a long way to find other
amateurs who would do it as well.
Percy Harris, in makeup, talk and
action was perfect Maverick
Brander." His directions to the bell
boy to "Show Ter up!" was worth COM
ing miles to see and hear. Burr Con-
ley did mighty well, too, as 'sChristo-
pher Columbus Fishback Jr." the ne
gro politician. 1t was n hard part
and he made the very most oft, show
ing that he had put a great deal Of
hard work on it. The other little
darkies. Maynard Bush and Earl
Gillihan did excellently. Miss Dol
lie Harris and Miss Eunice Jen-
nings adapted themselves to their
the delighted appreciation of the
audience, while the less conspicuous
roles taken by Misses Nellie Colborn
and Nellie SmeltZer were very
smoothly done. We lack space to
mention each individual in the cast,
but each is individually included In
the general verdict, "Well DONE" In
spite of the hideous weather there
was large audience each night, and
the financial returns were very graf
flying. The proceeds were turned
over to the orchestra, which suits ev-
erybody for the orchestra has placed
everybody under obligation TO 1t by
the generous donation Of its services
on all occasions.
The Republican State central conf
mite held meeting at Topeka last
week and issued the calls for two
State conventions. The first will be
held at Hutchinson May 8, for the
purpose of nominating one Congress
man at large and six delegates-at-
large to the National Republican con-
yention at Minneapolis, and ten pres
idential electors. The convention for
the nomination of State officers will
be held at Topeka, June 30. 1t was
decided to make the basis OF represen-
tation on the vote cast for George w.
Winans for State Superintendent In
1890, allowing one delegate from each
county and one additional delegate
for each 200 votes or fraction thereof.
This gives Allen county nine delegates
to each convention, and:makes State
convention of III.

Miss Nellie Shelter poured coal
oil on the fire at the register of deeds
office last Saturday morning. The
result was an explosion which brought
down the stove-pipe and blistered
Miss Nellie's hands and face and
sipged her brows and hair. Fortu-
nately none of the burns was deep
enough TO leave a scar but they were
severe enough to cause no little pain
and to confine her to the house for sew
eral DAYS. The ambition to quicken 8
slow fire is in itself praisewsrthy
one; but some methods Of accomplish
ing it are more discreet than others.
