MUSIC AND DRAMA.
JUBILEE CONCERT.

The Wichita LyCeum has changed the
place of their concert to be given by
the Tennessee Jubilee Concert company
from the Crawford Grand to the Sedg-
wick music hall, on account of conflict
ing dates, and on that evening this hall
will reSound with music such as has
never been equalled in the county.
Wherever the company has appeared
the press is filled with notes of praise.
They sing by nature as does the mock
ing bird, and being highly educated, the
present company having been together
since the graduation in 1881, they can
and do render music which seems in
spired. Such wonderful voices and COM
plete control has never been eQualed
before in the music world. Read what
the Burlington Vt) Free Press has to
say Of them:
One of the most delightful musical
programs ever heard in Burlington was
given at the Howard opera house last
evening by the Original Tennessee Ju-
0bilee Singers in the Y. NJ. c. \. course
of entertainments. The house was
fairly Overlooking with the immense au-
dience gathered to hear these celebrated
singers, and seldom has an entertain
ment OF any sort been given in the
opera house which afforded such en-
tire satisfaction. The splendid vocal
qualities and genuine spirit Of the sing
erS came out. They are not eQualled
or approached by any other jubilee sing
ers before the public. Nearly every
piece OF the program was enoOTed. They
viii ever be accorded q hearty welcome
when they return.

comes from China. In the province Of
Anhul party of miners recently struck
an ancient shaft where history records
that a great catastrophe occurred fom
hundred years ago. The miners on
opening the old shaft came upon up
ward of one hundred and seventy
bodies of the former workers lying
where they had been overcome with
foul gases four centuries back The
corpseS were as if life had left them
yesterday. quite fresh looking, and not
decayed in any way. On an attempt
being made TO move them outside for
burial they crumbled away, leaving
nothing but q pile of dust and the rem
nants of the stronger part OF then

from the spot, and, though there were
valuable deposits of coal In the shaft
nothing would induce the superstition.

BOTHERSOME BORES.
Two OF Them Who Were Very ProperI,
Reboksd.


In recent lecture on "bores" Rev.
Dean Hole, an English clergyman, de-
elared that the industrious agricultur-
ist was as often the victim OF bores az
anyone else, though these trou blesome
persons are commonly supposed to APP
pertain to a more artificial grade of so
ciety. But the agriculturist has at
least the recourse, which is seldom re-
sorted to in the grade of society which
is pleased to call itself polite of tell
ing the bore what he thinks ef him,
says the Youths Companion.
Dean Hole related that an industri-
Gus farmer was visited one day by an
idle and braggart neighbor who talked
and talked, and wasted whole after
noon.
When at last the idle farmer was
about to depart, the industrious farmer
said to him:
Coin through the town."
"Yaas"
Know the cooper's shop?"
''Yaas-fellow that makes barrels"

hoops put around your waist, or you'll
burst with self-importance."

FIGHT FOR LIBERTY
Continued From rim Page)

as the evidence is concerned. The state
has rested. 1t was intimated that the
defense had rested also and would offer
no evidence, but they will probably
deem il wise to dispose of the evidence
of Mr.. Button in some way. AS Mr..
Leonard was killed at night in the pres
ence OF Mrs. Leonard, and in her house,
il does not look right that she would
send her son after sun up next morning
TO the store to ascertain where Mr.. Leo
nard was and why ne did not come
home the previous night. They can dis
pose or Mr.. Buttons evidence only by
putting Mrs. Leonard, herself, on the
stand. II is not at all probable that
Mrs. Leonard will go on the stand this
morning and if she does her cross ex-
animation will doubtless be a long and
a, close one.
RESUME OF THE EVIDENCE
Summing up the evidence of the state
1t is this: Henry H. Leonard was muir
dered on the night of Nov II in his own
home. He was married to Irena Will
Hanson about three months and had an
accident policy of s., 900 made out in her
behalf. Shortly before her marriage she
