A Novel Entertainment.

Mrs, Anna b. Hewetr, of Calves
ton, Texas, is here, and we are in
debted to her fer a very pleasant
visit. Mrs. Hewitt was here last
year and gave an entertainment
with the ladies' of the First Baptist
church. She is one of the corps of
teachers in the Galveston public
schools and is regarded as one of
the foremost educators in the pub
lie schools of Texas.
During her vacation the past
year she has culled over two hun
dred words that are in daily use
which she AYERS are mispronounced,
and 200 others when written most
OF them are mis- spelled
Mrs. Hewitt is in line with east
eru teachers in their methods Of
instruction, and, knowing how to
impart her knowledge by convers-
ing, is indeed, an interesting char
acter, one we do not meet up with
every day. This lady bears letters
from leading educators of the
country telling of her worth, and
among them one from John W.
Hopkins, leading educator known
all over the United States, who
says of her work in the line she is
now engaged THAT she is re-
garded as an adept in the line of
work she is now engaged in, y
Mrs. Hewitt has arranged to give
a spelling and pronouncing contest
at the West Side Assembly Hall on
Thursday night, September 8, and
will give two money prizes to the
Que who pronounces the most words
correctly as we'll as spell those she
may give out. The prizes are 81 so
each.
This will be an entertainment
that will interest all, both young
and old, and will also be iustruc-
tive. The admission price is fifteen
cents. Let US fill the hall on this
occasion.
The entertainment is given for
the benefit of the West side school
Library, and we shou d all be liberal
in our patronage.

Constable Bob Grow.

The above gentleman was out
early this morning tacking up his
announcement cards, informing the
dear voters that he was the only
and Donna fide democratic nominee
in the race for this important office,
and that he expected every demo-
cratin the precinct to come out and
vote for him, which will give him the
office which he seeks and which his
party has named him as one of the
candidates on the ticket Mr. Grow
has an opponent in the person of
Mr., Milton Choat, a republican,
whom we have not word to say
against, except we know he is
training with party that in the
past, has proven an enemy to our
state and county, as can be and
has been proven to the entire salts
faction OF all. We do not charge
our friend Choate with this, for we
believe he has never been turned
into the public crib though he
has "rooted" at the gate time or
two, but has thus far found DEM
ocrat on guard and the gate bolted
against him, and we are satisfied
that he wilpf a Grow" on guard
at the gate whose cawl cawl cawl
will put every democrat on guard
at the gate and keep him out
again.
If the democrats turn out as they
should we know friend Milton will
be beaten by at least one hundred
votes. AS this IS the only Office
contested for in the precinct, let
each and every democrat resolve
to work hard to keep a republican,
from getting foothod in our own
political paradise,

Wrapped up in five pound note.

And sang to small guitar,

Ting, ling, ling,
ooh lovely pussy, oh pussy my love,
What a beautiful pussy you are.
Zum, Zum, zum,
Pussy SAID to the owl
"You elegant fowl,
How charmingly sweet you sing,
zum, zum,
'Oh let us be married, too long we
have tarried,
But what shall we do for a ring?'
They sailed away for year and
a day,
To the land where the honey tree
grows,
Ting, ling, ling
Ting, ling ling.
And there in a wood, a piggy-wig
stood
With a ring in the end of his nose,
Zum, 2um, zum,
"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell
for a shilling your ring? Said
the piggy 81 will. ."
Ium, 2um, 2um,
So they took it away and were
marred next day.
BY the turkey that lived on the
hjll
They dlned on mince and slices OF
ounce,
Which they ate with runcible
spoon.
Ting, ling, ling,
Ting, ling, ling,
And hand in hand by the edge of
the sand,
They danced by the light of the
moon,
LULLABY"
Lullaby and goodnight
With roses bedight,
With lilies bested,
Is babys wee bed,
Lay thee down now and rest,
May thy slumbers be blest.
Lullaby and goodnight,
Thy mothers delight,
Bright angels around
My baby shall stand,
They will guard thee from harm
Thou shalt wake in my arms.

Atwood Man Under Arrest For
Stealing a House.
Owner Was Out of the State
When Thieves Stole
ONE BOARD AT A TIME.
To Prevent Total Loss Lumber
Was Appraised and Sold.
Now the BenefactOrs Are Under
Bond For Larceney.

Atwood, Aug. 24-On complaint of
one J. r. Collier c. NJ. Eggleston, who
lives about Is miles up the South Bea-
yer, was arrested Monday on the charge
OF stealing the lumber in an old house.
1t seems that some time ago J. r. Col
lier, who lives in Nuckols county, Ne
braska., bought quarter of school land
in Mirage township upon which was
frame house. The house, board by
board, began to disappear until it was
nearly all gone. The wind blew it
down and it seemed that in time the
whole house would be gone. Finally
c. NJ. Egsleston, Rev. Beauchamp and
one or two other neighbors of Jr. R.
Collier got together and agreed upon
the value of the lumber left in the
house, which was $1,000. Mr.. Eggles-
ton took the privilege of selling the
same to George McDougal for the
appraisement.
A week or so ago ]. r. Collier came
from Nebraska and found out from Egg
gleston's neighbors the fact that Egg
gleston had disposed of his house. Col
leir went to Eggleston and demanded
$50. Mr.. EgglestOn refused but rendered
the $12. Then Mr.. Collier went to At
wood and had EgglestOn arrested for
stealing. The trial was before Squire
John Chambers in Atwood. Mr.. Egg
gleston simply made a statement of the
case but made no defense, consequently
he was bound over to the next term of
court on a bond of 500. Nobody
seemed to think that EggIeston ever
intended to steal or derive any benefit
from the transaction whatever.
The house was an old land mark on
the divide between the Beaver and the
North Sappy. 1t was built in 1884 and
on it went by the name Of Buzzard's
Roost.

HERE'S A NEW FRAUD.
Clever Sharper Mortgages Another
Mans Farm For $1,000.

Wichita, Aug. 24.-J. w. Seekamp
who owns and lives on a fine 160-acre
farm about five miles east of Mulvane,
came to the city to get an abstract of
his property, with view of selling it,
When he spoke to Register of Deeds
Carnahan he was dumbfOunded when
he was told that there was a mortgage
on his place of 81, 260. Mr.. Seekamp
told Mr.. Carnahan that he had never
put a mortgage on his farm. However,
the records show that on the 14th day
of last June a mortgage for that
amount had been duly recorded.
Mr.. Seekamp then began an investi-
cation. He learned that the loan had
been made by Mr.. E. D. Kimban of this
city to a man by the name of Cross
1t seems that this man Cross, whoever
he may be, had forged a deed to the
property, and had the necessary papers
sworn to before a notary at Ell Dorado
where he claimed he lived, had received
the money and has left for parts I'M
known. Yesterday Mr.. Seekamp had
his lawyers draw up the legal papers
asking Judge Dale to set the mortgage
aside, on the ground that it was a for
gerry. There is no question but what
it was a bogus deed which the man
Cross had. Mr.. Harry Stewart, of the
DEAN Abstract company, says it is
without doubt a forgery.
Some of those interested in the case
say that they do not believe there ever
was any such a man as Cross; that the
nOtarial seal, as well as the deed, is a
forgery While some say that it may
have been fixed up in Kansas City or
Chicago by sharpers, others are of the
opinion that there are some people in
Wichita who may know more about
the matter than they care to express.
In other words, the deal may have been
framed right here in Wichita. Howev-
er that may be, whoever did the crime
have had ample time to make their
getaway had they so desired. AS
is is, Mr.. KimbaH is out $1,26O in cold
cash.

A FINANCIAL STRAW.

The following editorial paragraph
from the Philadelphia Record may ex-
plain in some measure the advance in
the price of silver:
Small change is very scarce in San
tiago. It is impossible to exchange gold
for Spanish silver; and, as there is lit
tie American silver, sales at retail are
hard to consummate. 1t will be the
same in all our cOlOnies-they will need
a full supply of spending money. The
larger mint now being erected in this
city will be finished none too soon.
There must be much ampler fraction
al coinage, and it must be struck by
Philadelphia dies.
The large amount of fractional coin
age which will be needed for supplying
the demand in Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines must of necessity be
made from the white metal. Perhaps
shrewd holders of silver bullion have
an eye on this phase of the situation.

PENSION LIST GROWS.
It Has Again Passed the One Hun
dred Million Mark

Washington, Aug. 24-In the forth
coming annual report of the commits
sioner of pensions, Mr.. H. Clay Evans,
it will be shown that on June 80. 1897.
there were on the rolls of the pension
bureau 976,014 pensioners. To this must
be added 6.S52 original claims granted
but not recorded and 1872 restorations.
which were not entered at the time on
the books.
Commissioner Evans granted 63,64S
original claims during the past year
and restored 4,0S9 pensioners to the
benefits of pensions. The pensioners
now aggregate 1,040, 1856
More pensions were granted last year
than any time from 1869 up to 1880.
There is absolutely no means Of even
approximating what the claims will be
under the recent war. The pension Of
fee has done nothing with the claims
that have been fled up to this time.
They do not aggregate a hundred and
for the most part are claims of widows
and the next of kin for the soldier
boys who fell before Santiago. Before
a claim can be perfected it must con-
tain the full record of the soldiers ser
vice and this information has not yet
been compiled by the war department.
When this is done the claims will be
speedily taken up.

WANTS BALM FOR HEART.
Widow Sues Man "A Years Old for
Breach of Promise.

New York. Aug. 24-Nrs. Mary Louise
Meyer, the widow who recently caused
the arrest of Franz Muller, "A years
old. in Jersey City, for failing to return
$500 which he had borrowed of her, has
started a suit for $25, 900 against Muller
for breach of promise. The papers were
filed yesterday with Sheriff Heller of
Hudson county.
When Muller was arraigned before
Justice G. c. L. Macs in the Oakland
avenue police court, Mrs. Meyer said
he borrowed the money with the IN
Outstanding that he was to buy furni-
ture for their housekeeping outfit. Then
he became infatuated with her daUgh-
ter, 25 years old, and declined to marry
Mrs. Meyer. He was discharged on a
promise, which he has failed to keep,
to marry Mrs. Meyer Mrs. Meyer and
her daughter live in No. 139 Leonard
street. New York. She became ac-
quainted with Muller through an ad-
vertisement in the publication of a
matrimonial agency.
