ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Clunie Opera-house this evening,
at this afternoons matinee and tomorrow
night the last presentations OF the drama
The Nihiiists" will be made. Next
week will be Mr.. Kremer's last one here.
He has gained favor here, and by his
earnestness, vigor and artistic finish has
won the concentrations of all theater
goers who have seen him in ''The Nj
hilists."
Frank Daniels, who has played here
often and is a prime favorite, is to re-
appear December Sth. presenting at the
Metropolitan Theater his capital low
comedy, Little Puck" 1t is dramatized
from Professor Antsey's capital fancy
entitled Vice Versa" a story which II
any have failed to read it they should
hasten to repair the neglect. For this
season-the third in which Mr.. Daniels
has produced the play here-he has much
improved the comedy, introduced new
features, songs, dances and business
While he has reorganiZed his troupe, the
charming soubrette Bessie Sansom is still
a mem Der of it.
Manager Todd announces the engage
ment of Fanny Davenport and company
for the Metropolitan Theater December
llth, 18th, 18th and 18th. On the first
three nights Sardou's Cleopatra" will
be produced. 1t was written for Bern
hardt, who, while she produced it with
great success. because OF difficulty with
Sardou was not friendly to its best pro-
ductiou. When Miss Davenport acquired
the right to the play she set about to
make her Cleopatra the greatest success
Of her artistic life. The critics concede
that she has done so and that her Cleo
patra IS superior to that OF Sarah Bern
hardt. She is physically better fitted for
the part, and her experience and genius
supplement that advantage. 1t is said
that she expended $4,000 IN the fittings
of the piece originally and its initial pro-
duction. At one time portion OF the
fine scenery was destroyed by an accl-
dent, but she at once replaced it with inn
provements and additions, together with
a more brilliant wardrobe. The scenery
fills two large cars and Will be brought
here two days in advance Of the opening
OF the engagement, as it requires twenty
four hours Of labor to set it upon the
Metropolitan stage. kifty-two people are
required for the production ofthe roman
tic historical play, including fine chorus
and exclusive of a full orchestra. On the
last night of the engagement Miss Daven-
port will play La Iosca" she is sup
ported by Melville Mcdowell and Il
1t is said that in this respect it is an eX-
ceptional company, since there is not
bit of weak timber in it. The play will
be produced here at heavier cost to the
local ma agement than any production
has involved for the last ten years.
The ladies of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union will give a New
England dinner, chicken pie, ETC., on
December 9TH at the parlors Of the Con-
gregational Church, Sixth street.
Last evening the Junior Court of For

BENNINGTON BOYS IN THE RACE

BENNINGTON BOYS IN THE RACE
The Burlington, Kansas, Independent
of September %, has an article, writ
ten by "a Stripper," that may interest
some of our readers, inasmuch as the
Carpenter mentioned is the son of David
Carpenter of this village. The indie
pendent says: On the 10th, at high noon,
a number of Burlington boys made the
run for the town of Perry, in the Chero-
kee strip, the start being made at point
five and half miles east of Orlando.
Ed. Puffer was mounted on beautiful
pelding which seemed to be handicapped
by too much attention. Henry Carpen-
ter had fine mare which was taken
sick every time she saw the tough-look-
ING old Texas pony bestrode by Geo. e..
Hall. Anthony Hinde's sorrel had his
own sweet way in spite of the riders
vigorous pulls and jerks and in the pre-
liminary practice runs, kept its owner
busy apologizing for training through
the truck patches. Ray Carpenter
mount was a bay castrated stallion, who
by his style and action seemed well
ADAPTED to farm work, but he got
there all the same and secured his own
er fine business lot. The boys had all
agreed that they would start behind the
crowd when the start was made and thus
avoid the dangerous places, but the writ
ter noticed that when the bugle sounded
the signal. they were all well to the
front. and if any odds trifie ahead.
The moor soldier who blew the signal
note did not get out of the way OF the
rapidly moving column and was knocked
from his horse and trampled to death.
After the first few yards of the run, a
dense cloud of dust arose, and for
milo the run was made on faith, for one
could not see foot ahead. About two
miles out we saw man lying under his
dead horse, and from that on, there
were crippled and dead horses all along
the line. The writer saw enough sad
dies, blankets, brides and horse jewelry
to stock a first-class harness store.
About three miles from Perry the coun-
try is very rough and the deep, steep
sided canons were full of dense clouds
of dust. We did not want to gallop
down into these gulches, but a stop
meant almost sure death from the on.
coming column, so the dive was made.
1t is reported that six persons lost their
lives in this run, and it is marvellous
how the balance escaped. We all re-
ioice that we were in the big "hoss'
race, but you would have to tie man to
his horse to get him to repeat it.
The only injury our party sustained
was bruised hand by Henry Carpenter
while driving his stake IN an alley, and
Ed. Puifer's feelings were somewhat
lacerated by young woman who fired
him off her lot
The Guthrie people captured the two
first trains, and as the Burlington folks
who were TO come in on trains were at
Orlando, they got mostly experience in
place of town lots. Jim Lanes manly
countenance showed signs of deep dis
gust and among his sympathisers were
Frank Beatty, Luther Gortner, Thos.
johnson, Hi Briggs. Dwight Brown, A.
N. Allen, Frank Knox and Gene Young.
All Burlington people are dirty, tired,
vet we'll and happy and predict great
things for the new town Of Perry, the
future metropolis Of the Cherokee out
let.

A SEMLCENTENNIAL.

We clip the following from the High
land Democrat published at Peekskill,
n. Y, and present it to our readers
verbatim as it refers to one of our own
citizens. The Baptist church of that
place held its semi-centennial anniver-
sary on Sunday, October Sth, and here
follows part of the proceedings on that
Sunday afternoon:
After the history was read, the
Rev. Edward COnover of Bennington, Vt,
the first pastor of this church, spoke OF
the early days. He was so well preserved
in health and so young for his years that
the large audience which greeted him
listened to his excellent address with
profound surprise. He told of the early
struggles of the Church, and also spoke
of the courtesy of many of PeekskilP s
prominent citizens, such as Judge Mel
son and Col. Williams.
although only a few of the Older
members could remember Rev. Edward
ConOver of fifty years ago, many who
met him will remember him for years to
come. The spirit of the man can be
learned from the following poem which
he read:
Fifty yearsl How fceting time appers,
How full OF hopes how full OF fears;

CAUGHT THE TRAIN.
Avery Cut Short His Speech on
the GaIIows to ObIige the
Sheriff.

County Marshal Henry Stewart.
who went to Lamar, Barton county,
Wednesday to witness the hanging Of
murderer Amos Avery, tells Of a
most embarrassing situation on the
gallOws, says the Kansas City Star.
The good sheriff of Barton county,
who was master of ceremonies, had
given Avery several drinks of brandy
to brace him for the ordeal. He had
arranged to ship Avery's body to Fort
Scott on a certain train. The doomed
man got on the trap at the appointed
time.
"Now, Amos" said the sheriff, IF
you would like to say q few words
you may"
Amos began to talk slowly. As the
effect of the brandy increased he talked
faster Five minutes had passed and
Amos, seemingly, had forgotten that
he was to be hanged. Ten minutes
passed and he was still talking. Pres
emily the sheriff looked at his watch.
Amos had talked fifteen minutes and
showed no signs of fatigue. The sher-
if was excited anyway, and now new
difficulty confronted him. The man
might talk too long. Twenty minutes
passed. Amos still talked. The sheriff
became restless. He held his watch in
his hand. The doomed man talked.
Fifty minutes had passed. There was
no time to loose. The sheriff took a
long breath and stepped to the side of
the prisoner and said persua>ively:
Amos, you have taken a long time.
Don't YOU think-can't- ycu-can't
YOU cut it shoit? You-you'll miss
your train"
is that so ?" said Amos, turning
toward him with an expression of sur
prise and interest on his face. Have
| been talking long ? Will | miss my
train"
YES if You talk any longer"
We'll I'll step right Off
In two minutes Amos stopped talk
ing. The drop fell.
Amos Avery caught the train.
