Hiawatha's German.

Another of those delightful Ger
mans, which have made the name
"Eliawatha" the synonym of gaIlantry
and gracious hospitality in the social
circles of Texarkana, will be given by
the members of that gallant club, at
their dancing hall, on the East side to-
night. The event is complimentary
to Miss Pearl Sparks, most charm
ing and popular young lady, of New
port, Ark, who is the guest of friends
in our city. The affair promises to be
one of UNUSUAL pleasure and II is ex-
pected that our bellies and beaux will
attend en-masse, to participate there
in.
The serious illness of Gov. Eagle
will cast shadow of sadness over the
otherwise brilliant throng, which will
assemble at MIller's Hall in the Capital
City Of Arkansas this evening, on the
occasion of the Inaugural ball, to be
given in honor of Gov. w. NJ. Fish
back. Preparations already made for
this event have been on more ex-
tensive scale than ever before attempt
ed in the social history of Little Rock,
and but for the deep and universal
sympathy felt for the retiring chief
executive In his long and trying i'll
ness, and general commiseration for
his noble and self sacrificing wife,
which pervades every breast, the af-
fair would be one of unparalleled
magni6cence and gaiety.
-.
The Band concert, to be given for
the benefit Of the Texarkana Brass
Band, on the evening Of the 10th ins.
promises to eclipse any former enter
tainment of the kind ever witnessed
in this city The best local musical
talent, male and female, the city af-
fords, will take part in the concert
and their combined efforts insure a
decidedly interesting and enjoyable
event, to which we hope ourpeople will
turn out en-messe, thereby testifying
their appreciation our local band.

Larry the Lord.

One of the novelties Of the season
will be produced at the opera house
Wednesday night the 18th, in the
shape of "Larry the Lord" new mu-
sical comedy 1t Is said, and the
press in general have borne out the
assertion that the comedy is most
amusing one, ard IL does seem proba-
bio to expect that piece in which so
good comedian as r. Il. Graham is
the chief figure would be full Of laugh
ter at least. His impersonation of
General KnickerbookerD in "The Lit
tie Tycoon" has delighted thousands
of play-gocrs. lie Is quaint and
original comedian. Ills methods are
legitimate and he is one of the most
conscientious of workers. He Is said
TO have in this new piece just the sort
of character which suited him. The
play is said to be just as strong in It's
musical numbers as in anything else,
one Of the vocal features of which
much is expected is the new topical
song composed by Mr.. Graham and
sung by him. 1t is entitled n Won
der What Next They win Dor The
company supporting him includes
many capable people, among them
Maud and Mamie Cerbi, both being
popular here. The company is under
Mr.. Henry Greenwalps management,
and will no doubt prove one of the
most profitable of his many invest
ments.

Bloodshed Imminent.

New, of most startling character
is being sent out from Topeka, the
State Capital of Kansas, concerning the
dangerous complications which have
arisen from the Governors refusal to
recognize any other save the populists'
organization in the lower branch Of
the legislative body of that State. The
following startling report Of the con-
dition which affairs have reached at
the State Capital, was received here
from Topeka, Kansas, to-day:
"Men are holding their breath in
Kansas to-day. The expected crisis
is at hand, and it is now but a ques,
tion of time when the collision will
occur Brave men who have been
through the troubles Of the early days
of the Sunnower State, shake their
heads ominously and hesitate to pre-
dict what the outcome will be when
the clash occurs. The Populist House
has now received full recognition
from the Populist Governor and the
Populist Senate, and the Governor
has informed the Concurrent Com
mittee that he Will submit his message
on Tuesday, 0o-day). The complete
recognition by the Senate was not ac-
complished without a struggle and a
bitter one, for three Of the Populist
Senators, as on yesterday, ranged
themselves with the Republicans and
refused to join what they said was the
recognition Of an illegal body.
The subscription list Of the DEMO
GRAFT continues to increase daily at q
llattering rate. AS return for the
labor expended in making this good,
live, newsy paper, we are both pleased
and nattered by it, and assure our
patrons that we shall continue TO put
forth every effort in our power to
merit this evidence Of their good will
and appreciation.
