NOTHING TO EQUAL II.
Mr.. Richard Mansfie1d At Wichit9
October 18th.


October 18th.
Rarely has such a dramatic trea
been offered TO the people of WIGHT
as is promised in the coming visit
Mr. Richard Mansfield and his Carrie
Theatre Stock Company, who come fe
one night only to the opera house, o
October 18th. Mr.. Mansfield is note
for the accuracy with which he pre-
sents all his performances, and moth
ing has been omitted; as consequence
the expense and magnificence of al
his productions are tremendous Hi
company, too is larger than ever be
fore, comprising sixty players. 1t be
stand the great cost that the loca
management has sustained in bring
ing such a distinguished actor ant
company to this city, and it is to b'
hoped that the attendance will b'
large. Parties living out of the city
can order seats of Manager of Opera
cured on all railroads for this great
event of the season.
Three Ottawa girls ran away from
home and went to the bad, that is, they
went to PaOla.
The Atchison girls who were kissed
at the corn carnival were SO tickled
they can't quit telling about it.
A Clay Center man keeps a pet rat
tle-snake. Another proof of the quail
ity of the whisky sold in that town.
Matte Handslip is one of the bellies
of Usage City whose hand does not slip
more often than the average frisky
maiden.
Jacksnipe are appearing in Clay
county, and now that old snipe game
which had its run in the days of Solo
mon, will be sprung on some suspect
ing victim.
Mike Sutton has been allowed pen
sion of eight dollars month. That
means little less water and little
more lemon when he invites his friends
to ''No. 80" next winter.
People who believe that times are
hard out in Western Kansas have over
looked the fact that an electric belt
show took $3.50 out of Downs in less
than a week and that the Osborne
county fair association has offered
$4,000 in premiums.
Almost any man alive will be viii
ling to go on the stand and swear that
he does not believe the woman is en-
tirely at fault in a sensational suit at
Atchison where a husband of four
weeks sent his wife home to her moth
er because Sc got 'soft" with other
men.
While some of his neighbors were !
standing around on the street corner !
listening to fellow discourse on the
woes of the farmer last week, Mr..
Green of Belle Plaine, slipped out of
the crowd, rounded up twenty-one of
his 2-year-old steers and sold them for
six hundred dollars.
1t costs about two dollars in Morton |
county to raise a steer calf and run !
him through until he is two years old, |
or what the cattle buyers call "a long
two" After the steer reaches that |
age he sells for SIS, which is gain to !
the owner of over one Thousand per |
cent on the amount invested. Who !
says it doesn't pay to raise cattle in
western Kansas.
Walter Wellhouse, one of the great
apple growing firm, says the crop in !;
their Leavenworth county orchards
this year is practically failure. Their
Usage county trees will yield few car
loads, but the rest are not worth pick
ing. Mr.. Wellhouse attributes the
failure to the fact that the trees bore
too heavily last year. The average
for the entire country will be less than
one-half the normal crop.
1t is said of q South Leavenworth
young man that he hangs around his
girl like General Grant hung around
Richmond.
A farmer living a few miles from
Powhattan, accompanied by his wife,
came to town to do some trading the
other day, and after buying what they
wanted the old man left the old lady
sitting in the store, got into his wagon
and drove away, forgetting all about
her until he got home. He made good
time back to town where he found the
old lady waiting for him with a we'll
speech which would not read
pretty in print.
w. L. Upshaw, formerly of Kansas
will go to Central America as an evan
gelist for the gospel union, taking his
wife and four small children with him
Some men think mere Of their religion
