The Editor Of The Kicker Exposes an I'M
and His Crowd-The Death Of q Man
with a Short Neck.
Wednesday evening last Mrs Gener-
oil Beechem gave an lat home" in or.

ly received from Chicago, and as she
had her invitations printed at the office
Of our esteemed contemporary she felt
under obligations to include him in the
list. How the old critter ever worked
up nerve enough to attend is a mystery
to us, as the only society he is used to
Is that Of Sing Lung, his Chinese laun-
dryman, and his old bobtailed dog. In
paying his respects to the hostess he fell
over a IS gilt chair and broke it to
pieces, and in swallowing a glass Of
punch he got some Of the liquid down
the wrong way and almost coughed his
blamed old head off. Later in the even
ing he wiped his chin on window cur
tain and broke the glasses with his ell
bow. As grand elimination he called
Major Shorter a liar and was flung out
doors in the mud. Mrs. Beechem's en-
barrassment and vexation could not be
concealed, but she has only herself to

Not with the Kicker.
At late hour Tuesday evening we
were called up by telephone from Balk-
er's Bend to give information regard
ing stranger who was about to be
hung by the vigilance committee. He
was described as a one eyed man with
stiff knee and an old navy revolver
and had been caught in the act of steal
ing cayuse tied to q post in the viii
lage. The man claimed to be our agri-
cultural editor, out ON hunt for new
species Of grasses, and he appeared SO
earnest and truthful that the committee
telephoned to find out about it. As we
knew our agricultural editor to be in
the Bald Eagle poker rooms at that very
moment, hunting for aces instead Of

agriculture. Our thanks are due the
committee, and we trust that it may be
their luck to put us under further obi
cations.
A Grand Success.
The Booth Dramatic association left
hero Friday noon for the railroad and
california loaded down with money
The two night performance was the
grandest success Of tho season, and we
rather pride ourselves that we were the
cause Of it. When the manager arrived
here, we sat down with him and told
him what would take and what would
not with the people of this town. He
was sensible enough to soc the point and
to cater to the idioms Of theater goers,
and everything passed off as smooth as
q blu 'sted bar'l of molasses. Instead of
running the tragedy the company gave
us mixture of Hamlet" "Uncle
Tom 3 Cabin, ""Lady Audley's Secret"
Buffalo Bill, ""The Merchant Of Ven
ice, " "The Robbers Roost" and blue
and Gray" There were heroism, love,
villainy, clog dancing, songs, Indian
fights, abductions and lots of other
things nicely mixed together, and those
who had come with two guns prepared
to shoot were so captivated and carried
away that they fired silver dollars in
stead of bullets among the actors. We
do not plume ourselves on being theat-
rical critic, but we do know what will
make go of it in this town, and we
stand ready to extend our fatherly ad-
vice to other managers.
He Returned.
Mr. John Hopkins, the we'll known
and highly esteemed banker at Pine
Hill, arrived in town Wednesday morn
ing on visit to his aged mother. He
had scarcely clasped her to his manly
breast and taken drink at the White
Dog saloon when 10 citizens Of the Hill
appeared and demanded an interview
with him. 1t seems he had left Pine
Hill without saying anything to any
body and had only placed 5000 on the
counter for his cashier to do business
with for the day. AS soon as this was

every ship of the squadron a life buoy,

twenty-five years ago Gen. oliver o.
Howard, then in charge of the important
work of the freedman's bureau, visited
Atlanta, and. of course, made the rounds
of the schools then in operation for the
Americans. In one of these schools,
where Gen. Howard made a talk to the
pupils, so the story goes, he stopped sud
denly, and, pointing the index finger of
his only hand at the intensely interested
urchins before him, said:
Now, my young friends, when I re-
turn to the north, what shall I tell your
friends?"
For a space there was dead silence.
Then, away on the back row of seats a
little black hand shot into ihhe air.
"Well, what shall l tell them?' asked
the general, his voice and countenance
radiating with benevolence.

the little chap.

Wright who has been taking a special
course at the Harvard Summer School
