night. The papers there speak of it in
low tones, but one of them said the ''pain-
full quietude'' was exasperating.

Those persons who threw ashes on their
ice-coyered pavements last Tuesday dis
played a genuine Christian spirit. A few
ashes, judiciously applied, prevented
many a bad fall, to say nothing OF GER
tain language, more emphatic than ele-
CANT, that might have accompanied such
mishap.
DIR. 8. f. Curry has traded Mrs. Sarah
Jordan 600 acres of land situated in Wood
son county, Kan, for the Commercial
hotel in this city and two lots In Hutchi-
son, Kan. DIR. CURRY is a practical hotel
man and will devote his attention to
catering to the wants of the many guests
of the Commercial. He will add many
improvements to the building early in
the spring.
A number of people in this city are pre-
pairing to place spring chickens on the
market the first week in April. They
have i~ncubators filled with eggs and it
requires their constant attention to keep
the temperature just right. 1t must not
fall below IS nor ever get much above los
degrees. In twenty-one days the chicks
leave the shells and in ten weeks they are
ready for the table.
Mrs. Callie Chandler, nee Easter, form
erly OF his city, is the mother of a little
girl that weighed only WI pounds at its
birth. The Kansas City papers all con-
tanned long accounts OF the arrival OF the
little stranger at Mrs. Chandler's resi-
dence in Independence, and the statement
was made that she had several years ago
given birth to triplets, two boys ana a
girl, who are now healthy and intellIgent
children.
Everybody took to ''the middle of the
road" last Tuesday, and then it was with
difficulty that one could keep on his
feet, on account OF the ice which covered
the ground. People went slipping and
sliding along like they were on skates,
n every once in a while o could see
some one frantically thrashing the air
with his arms in an endeavor to regain
his equilibrium. 1t was indeed danger
Gus walking, but we have heard OF no
accidents resulting therefrom.
Rev. ]. L. Lawless, an eminent evan
gelist of st. Joseph, will onduc a two
weeks meeting, commencing Monday, at
the Baptist church in this city, assisted
by the pastor, Rev. w. /. Cole. These
meetings promise to be unusually interes-
ting, and large and appreciative audiences
will doubtless greet them IN each occas-
ion. There will be afternoon and evening
services each day to which all are most
cordially invited and assured a warm well
come. The gospel as preached by Rev.
Lawless strikes his auditors with a fresh
ness and originality that makes it seem
like a new story.
The editor of the INTELLIaENoER had
business in Jefferson City one day this
week and while there held pleasant inter-
views with Senator Vahdiver and Repre-
sentative Christy. Both of these gentle
men have excellent standing in the
general assembly. They are both working
members and it can be said of each of
them that he has not missed q roll call or
a vote during the session. These are
records that the voters can be proud of.
Vandiver and Christy do not spend their
nights with the lobbyists nor go on free
pass junketing tours in the day time.
They are at their desks when the assem-
bly, is in session.. They are voting right
on everv proposition that comes up.
They are working for every good law and
working against every bad one. They are
doing something at Jefferson City and
their standing there is the best.
"Fabio Romani," as dramatized and
presented by Alden Benedict and his sup
porting company, held the boards at the
New Grand last Tuesday night. 1t il a
drama in which the elements of false
love, treacherous friendship, remorseless
revenge and evil passions seem TO pre-
dominate. The plot is unrelieved by any
touch of comedy or tender sentI nent
appealing to the better part OF ones
nature. A gruesome tragedy pervades
the entire performance which is inter.
