cleverest OF all realistic plays. comes TO
the Grand Thursday evening. In Lost

TO n startling series OF Innovations that
heretofore have been foreign In the pro-
ductloDs OF dramas OF n similar char

uations have been abandoned, and In
their place has been substituted a
plot that deals with all the realities OF
human nature, interesting. and grace

declared Insane.

Charles B. Cummings, who lives up
stairs on North Main street, was taken
before the probate judge Monday
forenoon and after trial was declared
insane and ordered sent to one Of the
asylums of the State. 1t was known
for some time that his mind was
affected but it was not until Saturday
last that he was violent when he
threatened 10 kill his wife. In his
story he saidSthat their were four men
in town who pursued him day and
night to kill him. He said that they
caught him only day or two before
and drove an iron wedge in his head.
He tried to show the judge and jury
mark where the wedge entered but
there was nothing there. However, it
Is said, that the spot was one where
he was injured in the summer of 1895
by a fall from the stone front building
on Second and Main, en- which he was
repairing the roof. In the fall he was
so seriously injured that it was not
thought he could live, but he did, now
only to suffer if possible, worse fate
unless he can be helped by the medical
skill which will be applied in the asy'
Ium. Mr.. Cummings had always been
psaceable, industrious citizen until
his fall, Iand his case is a pathetic one.

The nutchlnson Posronice

The News has lately been throwing out
some insinuations that the Hutchinson
postmaster may be one to soon loose his
head. If he does it will be plain that it
is not for failure Of good service for in
this line it may be proper to quote from
letter from the department to Mr.. Mead
under date of November oath as follows:
POSTMASTER, HUTCHINSON, KANSAS.
SIR: The returnes of ordinary I'M
claimed domestic letters from your Office
to the dead letter Office for the year end
ing June 80, 1896 show decrease of 254
over the preceding year, while the
amount Of mail handled by your carriers
was much larger than that of last year.
This is very gratifying to the department
as 1t indicates great care in the delivery
of mail matter at your office. You will
please continue to give this matter your
special consideration and endeavor to
have this decrease duplicated, or ex-
ceeded, if possible, during the ensuing
year. Respectfully,
F. H. JONES,
First Assistant Postmaster General.

rnot Rail Game.

The game of foot ball which was
played here between the ElDOrado and
Hutchinson teams on Thanksgiving
day, was unfortunate in not having
better weather ordered for the occa-
sion, but although 1t was cold, snowy
and wet, the game was played. On
the start the Hutchinson boysplayed
very well and indications seemed to be
in their favor the first half of the game.
After that two of their best me- hav-
ing been hurt and retired, they began
to loose and the score stood at the
close of the game at 4 to in favor of
the visitors. The Hutchinson team
were short two of their best men who
did not play in the game at all. So the
boys think that another time they
might put up better game.

RapnbIican Editors Meet

The republican editors of the Sew
elth district held meeting in this city
on Tuesday at the Commercial rooms,
About thirty were present and as is
usual when so many of one mind come
together, they had a jolly love feast.
They talked business with little poll
tics thrown in, presumably a sort of
dressing of election sores. While the
editors are all wrong in politics, there
are a number of pretty fine fellows
among them nevertheless. And by
the way, why should not the silver
editors of the seventh district have an
organization? The editors of a district
that is silver by 5000 ought to do as
we'll as the other fellows, surely.

FAY SMITH, our clerk of the court
elect, is sick in bed and has been for
a week or more. He first was taken
with the grip and confined to the house,
but some friend calling to see him and
not having time to come into the house,
he stepped out on the porch to talk to
him a few minutes and contracted a
cold which laid him up. 1t seems to
be located chiefly in the chest. If
Fay hadn't made so good a race 1t
might be charged that it was the re
suit Of election.
