Notwithstanding the severe cold, a
large audience greeted "Ole Olson" al
theiGrand laet Thursday night. About
30 couples were over from Hoisington.
The play was good and greatly appre-
ciated. though hardly up TO what the
general public expected. There has
been more comment on the condition
Of the house than the merits of the
play, as there was serious question
a. to whether or not the entire audi
ence would be frozen to death before
they could escape to their homes.
just where the blame lies for the mis-
cradle chilliness of the room is easily
understood. Several men present sug-
gested that q collection be taken up
and some coal purchased and used.
A few more such experiences as that
audience went through Thursday
night, and the Grand will only be
known as Q summer playhouse.

Something peculiar is said TO have
happened out near Dan Miller's last
Tuesday night. Quite a number of
the Heller dogs were seen wandering
out on the prairie, and when asked
what they were doing, replied that
they were "hunting jack rabbits. "
They had queer hunting machines,
such as tin-pans, horns, bells and
such like. They probably intended
to capture the jacks by soaring them
to death, or charming them with
sweet music Ia tin-pan. Dan says
it was q queer freak, and he can't
imagine what put it into the boys
heads. Will Remington" explain?

A GEORGIA CYCLONE.


The Tswn OF rsyettsville visitsd by .
Destructive wiBd stsrm.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga, Jan. a--This
town was visited by terrible cyclone
during the night. Three people were
killed, number Of others injured and
the little town was almost swept out OF
existence. II was early in the evening
when the cyclone swooped down upon
the town. A path three hundred yards
wide was swept through the town and
for three miles east Of 1t the devastation
continued. The dead 80 far reported
are: Will Travis. farmer, 80 years
old; Sallie Graham. 10 years old, and a
negro child not yet identified. Travis
was in his home and hearing the noise
went to the door to see what caused it.
Just then the cyclone struck the house.
Travis's body was not found until morn
ing. He had been carried about two
hundred yards and almost every bone
la his body was broken. The list of in.
jured win probably reach twenty Ave,
some of whom will die. Many others
are only slightly hurt. The value oi
the buildings demolished is probably }.
900, with scarcely any insurance.

The G,e.sor Auton.x.

IsIPEnNo, Mich, Jan. s.--The in
quest is still in progress over the remains
of John Gleason, the murdered cashier
of the Cleveland Iron Mining company.
The autopsy held by the physicians
shows that it was impossible for Glea-
SON to have suicided, as was thought by
some to have been the case. The bullet
wound was in the rear of the head and
the pistol must have been several
feet distant, as the hair and scalp were
not singed at all. A resolution has
been passed by the city council Offering
81 900 reward for the arrest and convic-
ton Of the murderer or murderers.
