A SCHUBERT EVENING.

Mrs. Charles IL. Turner Entcrtnins Many
of Her Friends in Honor of the Com
poser's Hundredth Birthday.
Not a pleasanter evening was ever
passed than was that of Monday, at
the elegant home of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles H. Turner, I fifth street, on
which occasion the agreeable and
music loving hostess had asked in, her
friends TO the number OF seyenty-fve
or more.
TO do fitting honor to the memory of
Schubert was the object of the gather
ing, and could the divine composer have
lent ear his sense of melody and har-
mony would haye been far from out
ragged, for each number was handled
skill. The selections, excepting two,
were compositions of Schuberts, and
were chosen largely with u view to
demonstrating the great composers
expressions were given to the themes
of the immortal genius. Arnold's Or
chestra, of which we are all SO justly
proud, was there, in full strength, and
their numbers were eXquisitely reno
cred.
The musicale was fine tribute to
the great artist, and was graceful
attention for Mrs. Turner to show her
friends, who feel deeply indebted.
Those who lent their aid to the eve
ning's entertainment were Mrs. Turner,
Mrs. Ebinger Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Met
calf, Mrs. Cooke, Miss Brown, Miss
Chamberlain, Miss Wehrs, Miss Ward,
Miss Mcclure, Miss Leeper, Mr.. Adams.
Mr.. Bird. Mr.. Hart and Mr.. Ketter.
These, together with the Orchestra,
rendered the numbers to the utmost
qualification of the interested listeners.

Mr.. Elijah Sprague succumbed to the
grim reaper Sunday night at his home
in Equity, after prolonged Illness
mentioned in the Leader few weeks
ago. The deceased was in the 10th
year of his age and was one of the best
known and most highly respected cit
liens of the county. He was sincere,
honest and upright man, in every way
deserving of the high esteem in which
he was held. He was during his life
time vigorous worker in the Nj. f..
church.
The funeral will occur Thursday at
12 o'clock, standard time.

The defalcatiolf of Lee b. Mcfarland,
Assistant Cashier of the Second Nation
al Bank, Parkersburg, is the sensation
of the hour in our sister city. The
story was given correctly in Mondays
Leader omitting some of the details.
The Journal says although the
shortage of defauiting bank clerk may
be made good to the bank, yet his
crime stands and he may be prosecuted
by the United States governmer<.
But such constituency is not thought
probable. The shortage will probably
be satisfactorily made up. Then as
to the matter of prosecuting the de.
faulter, that question will doubtless be
left by the two parties interested, the
government and the bank, to a third
party-a sort of an arbitration board
which will be composed of one or more
local citizens. They will decide the
question whether or not Mcfarland
shall be prosecuted. The decision will,
of course, be negative"

A Wandering Lake.

The Swedish explorer of Central
Asia, Sven Hedin,S gives the latest in
formation concerning the wandering
of Lake Nor, in the Cobb Desert, a phe-
n0menon about which contradictory
views have been entertained. He SAYS
that h Tarim river, entering the lake
from the west, brings down, during the
period of high water late in summer, a
great quantity of silt, which has the
effect of driving the lake, lying on the
level floor of the desert, toward the
southeast. But the summer wind,
drifting the surface sand and darken-
ing h heavens with dust, blows gen.
orally from the northeast, and it, too,
tends to drive the lake before it. The
combined effect of the urging by the
WIND Inc the river is to force the lake
southwark. Yet, Sven Hedin thinks,
the migration of the lake is not con-
slant in direction, and it shifts back
and forth internationally, according as
inc circumstances change.

A Norwegian Judgment.

A dog which had been run over by a
carriage crawled to the door of a tan
ner in the town of Abo; the mans son,
a boy Is years of age, first stoned and
then poured a vessel of boiling water
upon the suffering animal. This act
was witnessed by one of the magis-
trates and the cruel lad was con-
demned by the board of magistrates
of that town to the following punish
ment: He was conducted to the place
of execution by an officer of justice,
who read to him his sentence: In
human young man, because you did
not assist an animal which implored
your aid by it's cries, and which de-
rives being from the same God who
gave you life; because you added tor
ture to the agonized beast and cruelty
murdered it, the council of the city
have sentenced you to wear on your
breast the name you deserve and to
receive fifty stripes from the execu-
