an onslaught on Officer Staats who had him
in custody and endeavored to effect a
rescue. Clubs were used freely for while.

Last Saturday evening the people
OF Potosi were given an intellectual
treat in the form Of an entertainment

was not large, possibly because the
people did not understand what the

Leland Powers several times and
shaken our sides with laughter at the
ready wit and peculiar grimaces of
John Thomas and can say unhesita-
tingly that Mr.. Kirk compares favor
ably with either His powers may
be judged by the fact that he held his
listeners in close attention for two
hours with no music or other form of
amusement to give him rest
and the audience a change. Each
time he appeared there was Glamour
for more.
The steady flow OF people to the

sublime in its beauty than the scene
which greets us as we gaze from one
of the many high points on the bluff.
To right and left stretches away the
Father of Waters like silver band.
