FINE DANCING, SWEET MUSIC.
The Columbian Carnival Entertains
Well Large Audience.

Not for long time has the Bone
brake held a larger audience, or has
better entertainment been given than
was seen at the dancing carnival
last evening. The so young people who
in attractive and new costumes exc
cuted their pretty and artistic dances
to excellent music received hearty
praise from all. The novelty and
quslntness Of the program proved very
attractive.
The program opened with hand
somely set gypsy camp, in which 20
young people in costume performed
some striking dancing figures. A tam.
BOURNE dance by Misses Florence
Coble, Victore Harrison and Florence
Hawk, and a tableaI closed the act.
Act second had for it's first feature
rainbow drill in which 20 young folks
took part.
Then came violin solo by Prof. J.
II. Won Wiz derhold, which introduced
comparative stranger to many Of the
audience. Although he has been a
resident Of this city for several months
he has not made large acquaintance,
being Of a retiring disposition and lack
ing that characteristic which we
Americans call "rustllng." Notwith-
standing the fact that he had scarcely
recovered from a recent and serious
sickness, his playing last plight was
very creditable and deserved the hearty
applause II received. Educated in the
highest branches of music at Lsipsic
and Berlin, he is not only a yiolinist,
but a competent performer and in
structor on the piano, and q capable
and efficient tuner.
The "dudines and American bellies
was also striking and taking feature.
The high school mandolin club
covered itself with honor and applause.
Misses Sue Amsden, Ursula Ellison
and Albert Cosad gave a dainty song
and dance.
The third act opened with fairy
dance with Miss Maude Atkinson at
queen and Lois Crawford and Lucille
Roberts as attendants, which was ex
ceedingly graceful, while the queens
dancing was admired by all. Misses
Clara Case, Rea Wilson and Grace An
derson gave the concluding Columbian
dance in most artistic manner, after
which came the concluding tableau, the
fairy bower.
Miss May Atkinson acted as &C.
companist. Every feature won ap
plause and nearly all had to respond
to encores. Mrs. W. G.. Cowles wal
unable to sing, fact which her many
admirers regretted. Size accompanied
the violin solo on the piano.
W. Il. Hughes, Mrs. Harrison and
Miss Harrison, under whose manage
ment the company has been drilled
have scored decided success, and tn,
Pythian Sisters, for whose benefit tn,
entertainment is given, will net con
siderable sum.

ANOTHER QUESTION SETTLED.
High School Debaters Decide for
Environment.


Another load has been lifted from
the worlds shoulders and another great
problem is 6bGnitely decided. The
high school debate last evening resulted
in a victory for environment over
heredity.
The high school rooms were crowded
with those anxious to hear the discus
sion. Miss Anna Elston presided and
the exercises opened with a quartette
by Messrs. Anderson, Jolley, Newman
and Speer.
The debate on the question, IRE
solved that environment has more in
fiuence on mans character than
heredity," opened with a speech by
Austin Humbargar for the Affirmative.
viii q. Anderson then spoke for the
negative, Oliver Keve for the affima.
tive and Porter Wilson for the mega
tive. Both sides made strong argu-
ments and showed careful and scholar
ly preparation. Those speaking for
the affirmative represented the Junior
and sophomore classes and the senior
girls; the negative, the freshmen and
senior boys.
The judges were A. V. Jewett, T..
@. Little and Supt. Gray. They
marked on argument, delivery and
pronunciation and accorded the affirm
alive "a points, the negative sli. Prof,
Jewett preceded the announcement Of
the decision with sppreclative remarks
regarding the exercises.
Misses Reagan and Mccoy favored
the audience with piano solos. The pro.
gram was interesting throughout and
was listened to closely.

BOUND OVER FOR TRIAL.
Lloyd Lang Held Under Bond for the
District Court.

The preliminary examination OF
Lloyd Lang, accused Of the murder Of
VIM. Slaughter, was completed in
Quinn's court Saturday evening and
the defendant was bound over for
trial with bond fixed at 81 900. He
gave bond at once with W. ii. Logan
as surety and was released.
Stsmbaugh and Hurd represent the
defendant, and County Attorney Smith
and J. II. Mahau the prosecution. II
will be remembered that Slaughter
went to LaDe's house In the evening,
aud it is claimed attempted to enter,
using threats as to Lsng's wife, Lang
shot him twice and he fingered for
three weeks before dyirg.
Drs. Sawtell and HORNE testified as
to the nature Of the wounds inflicted
and the extent of the injuries.
]. +. Baxter, Frank Garth q hotel
boy, W. l.. Lesher, J. b. Dodge and
Newberry Baxter testified to having
seen Lang in the afternoon and after
the shooting. None saw the deed and
nothing of interest was deduced from
their testimony.
Seldom is so careful defense made
as that being followed by Mr.. Lang.
Not once since his arrest few
minutes after the shooting has he ad
mitted directly or indirectly that he
did the deed. He has simply closed
bis mouth tight and let the other
fellows do the talking. In the prelim'
mary no one testified that he had
admitted the shooting, nor was a
weapon introduced which Tailed with
the marks on Slaughter's body. The
defense called no witnesses and made
no effort whatever. While the evi.
dence tended to show that Lang did
the shooting no one apparently saw the
deed except possibly Lang's wife and
Of course she cannot be called on tC
testify.
The case will not come up for trls
until next term.
