On Thursday, October 81, at the New
Grand opera house, Rice's Comedy COM
pany, in "a Night at the Circus" a three
act farce comedy, will be seen for the first
time in this city. The company is COM
posed of artists who seem to appreciate
the wants of the people, aud have a
faculty of supplying those wants. Miss
Ella Miller as Mile. Electra, the circus
rider, aud her twin sister, Madeline Milan,
the sedate governess, are excellent. Phil.
Mahar, as the owner OF the circus, is
another favorite. He has a peculiar style
of comedy which places him in an entirely
different scale from the usual run. Their
support is fine.
At a mass meeting OF the citizens of
HigginsvilIe a plan was proposed which
will enable the citizens to secure control
of the fair grounds without raising the
money to purchase them by subscrip.
IONS. The plan was to plat the grounds
OFF in lots as an addition to Higginsville.
The lots are then to he sold. but with the
understanding that possession will not be
given for twenty five years. This will
secure the county the fair grounds for
that length of time. The ground will
make, when plated, 100 lots, and these. at
$50 each, will about raise the mou of
money needed to purchase the ground.
Those present atEthe meeting were of the
opinion that there would be a ready sale
for the lots at that price, and that buyers
could be found who would take Them
with the condition of getting possession
at the end OF twenty five years.
Among the young attorneys of Western
Missouri there is not one more promising
than Horace +. Blackwell, OF this city.
The feature OF the murder trial this week
was his eloquent plea before the jury for
the prisoner at the bar. From the defen-
sive standpoint this was one of the most
difficult cases that has been tried in the
criminal court here for several years..
With the odds against them Col. John 8.
Blackwell and son fought a magnificent
legal battle for the life Of 10 Wilkerson.
That the speech of Col. vel was
good goes without saying, but that the
effort of his % year-old son was pro-
nounced by the public generally as among
the best ever made In the court house, Is a
compliment any young LAWYER might
wear with pride. The verdict OF those
who heard this young orators plea. is that
it places him side by side with the best OF
Jury lawyers and makes him a foeman
worthy of any lawyers steel. Horace
Blackwell has a right to be a good lawyer
and q fine orator. His father is both OF
these, and the sou seems to be following
closely in his fathers footsteps. The
speech he made last "Wednesday was one
which any lawyer might be proud OF the
ability to make. It would have been
creditable to the best lawyers Of the
country. 1t was an able, eloquent, earn
est appeal Tor his client, and was listened
TO with marked attention by everyone in
the court ROOM.
