he would write to her often. She never
heard from him again. About two weeks
after she had received the postal card
she asked Mr.. Healy IL he had heard
from her husband, and when he said no
she said that she knew he had been lnuT-
dered. After events proved that Mrs.
Beach was correct in her surmises.
Sprague turned up in Atchison with the
running horse Brown Dick and the team
OF mules with which Beach and he had
left Wichita with. Mr.. Healy wrote
many letters trying TO locate Beach, and
afterwards his body was found near
Newton. For some reason nothing was
ever done with Sprague. He was sent to
the penitentiary for Stealing a horse in
Mcpherson county. The alleged plot to
murder Mr.. Carnahan and several others
which was the import OF the letter, is, in
Mr.. Heaiy's opinion, Of very little ac-
count or Importance.

MUSIC AND ORA MA

"A Breezy Time at the Crawford
Grand tonight. The piece is a farce com.
cdy, the plot of which is not so intricate
that it requires any great mental actiV-
ity 10 follow il. II is put together simply
for the purpose of giving the comedians
an opportunity to exhibit themselves IN
their various speciality performances
The pieces is separated into three acts
and the author has worked on the prlncl'
pie that action is the soul of farce, and
"A Breezy Time Is all action. The frs;
scene in the comedy is laid at a young
students apartments in Boston, who is
being pursued by numerous creditors,
who all have accounts of long standing
against him and in the midst of ali this
confusion "Deaisy," his sweetheart, runs
away from the seminary and comes to
his apartments TO tell him that as they
were going TO be married some day she
thought they might as well get married
right away, but before all arrangements
can be made for the marriage, Uncle
Reuben Merrifield (who is the uncle OF
Daisy, and the unknown guardian OF
Jack Dauber, the young etudenD appears
and is mistaken by Jack for ore OF the
creditors who is pursuing him Jack es-
capes as Uncle Reuben enters and finds
Daisy, who after numerous explanations
is taken back 10 her uncle's farm In Yer
mont, while Jack, who has assumed the
disguises OF Weary Walker, tramp and
a dago organ grinder, wends his way to
Uncle Reubens' farm, where he is un-
masked by his creditors, and as soon as
all explanations can be made Uncle Reu-
ben makes a fnel settlement with him,
which puts him in possession Of enough
money 10 settle all mis- debts and marry
the girl he loves. During the progress of
the comedy number Of vocal and instru-
mental numbers are introduced. such as
dancing by pretty girls, female imperson-
ations by Uncle Reuben and crack rife
shooting by Jack Dauber, concluding
with a grand cake walk by the entire
company, which is one Of the SWEETEST al

Several years ago some Of the property
owners living on Waco avenue had
sewer put in the alley between Waco
and Riveryiew avenues. They tcrmei a
stock company, members OF which were
Mr.. Snlyth, Mr.. PonleIla and others. This
sewer pipe extended from Second street
70 Elm and drained all the waste water
CT the houses along that avenue The
stock holders OF the sewer now propose
to sell the sewer pipe 10 the city. They
do not wish any remuneration, simply
Stipuiatng that the property owners liv-
ing on the avenue to the north OF the
sewer district pay for il. Their plan is
that the sewer be extended by the city
10 Walnut strees an6 that the owners OF
property along the avenue pay the regu-
lar sewer assessment which would be put
against their property and enough more
pro rata to reimburse the stock holders
of the Old company for the money which
they have expended. This would then
put the sewer inso the hands Of the city
without costing the city cent. As it is
now, there is no sewer along Waco ave-
nue. and the property owners are without
sewer connections unless they pay the
private stock company for the Use OF
their pipes. The matter in all proba bility
will come up at the next meeting OF the
city council for settlement. The citizens
living along the avenue who are outside
of the sewer district are unanimous in
regard TO having the pipe extended up
the alley. The cost OF building the trench
and putting in the pipe will not be very
great, and ii is said on good authority
that arrangements can be perfected
whereby any amount Of time can be OBJ
tanned in order 10 pay for the extension.
Even the property owners VINO were
original stockholders, it is understood
will pay the amount assessed against
their property provided the deal goes
through. All they ask is that the parties
who will avail themselves of the sewer
pipe will the difference for putting in the
pipe up to Walnut street. The pipe now
has an outlet near the Second street
bridge into the Big Arkansas river. II
the pipe Is extended to Walnut street it
could not be very well put in beyond
that street as the alley in which is the
sewer meets the Little River on the
Woodman property.
Quite number of the citizens living
along Waco north Of Elm are said to be
favora Bile to the deal and the final settle
ment will come up at the next regular
meeting of the council.

UISTI EBiNG 4 PEICEIBLE
ASSEMBLI.

A colrta,umdeut writes us 10 III
auire what Is the law relating 7" 4
disturbance of 1t ~ptaceable assembly ..
The law is to be found III section $40
of the Revised Statutes Of 1870, wlll"h
reads NV loever shall maliclohslN
disturb, OF cause any disturbance 10
be made. whereby my peaceahl+
assembling of the people is disturbed,
shall upon conviction he fined not
exceeding one bundled d~oliais, aud
imtrisoued not exceeding ten days,
aud for IL second conviction the pun
ishment shall he douhled.o
Ii Will thus be uoticed that the
punishment is necessarily fine aud
Imprisonment, and that The offence
consist either in mailclonsly disturb
ing a peac"able assembling at the
people, or in causing any disturbance
to be made whereby such an assem-
bly, is disturbed.
While our correspondent makes 10
last week i'll the district court for
disturbing ii peaceault assembling Of
the people, we feel convinced that the
fact of such a cast having taken place
prompted the inquiry, ana Tor tia:
reason we will refer to the case tor

made against them aud on last THUS

The outcome of that case ought to
