ANOTHER BATTLE!
AND GARNETT MOURNS THE LOSS OF
Two Brave Boys.

Last Saturday, there was another fight be-
tween the Filipinos and the United States SOL
diers, at Malinta, in which, as usual, the Kan
sas boys "covered themselves with glory"
Company E is always at the front, ard always
merits praise Oh account Of the bravery of its
boys
In the battle, Kansas lost three boys, and
twenty-six were wounded. Among the three
who wele killed were Curran c. Craig, of Gar
nett, and Hiram Plumner, of Lincoln township
two of the best boys in the regiment. Through
H. M. Brooke, of the Plaindealer, we have Sc
cured the picture of Hiram Plumner. We or
dered Curran Craig's picture of the Kansas City
Star, but received no reply. The Kansas City
Journal promised to send picture, but did not
do so. We have sent to an engraving house at
Denver for half-tone portrait of Curran, but
it could not be made in time for this issue. 1t
will appear next week, together with short
biography.

The American people as mass go 70
the theatre to be entertained, to laugh
and have a good time. Probable Lin.
coln j. Carter has come nearer satisfy.
ing the amusement goers than any other
American author. He has written
comedy dramas and melo dramatic com
edies with this thought in mind and be-
ing an artist as we'll as an author, he
sketches as he writes, therefore his
scenic effects are startling. realistic and
beautiful. Who has not been thrilled
at the sight OF the railroad scenes in the
Fast Mail and Heart Of Chicago. In
all OF his plays there is nothing to offend
or shock. He has never dipped his pen
into the questionable to color his word
painting. Mr.. Carter is successful be.
cause he is writer of the people and is

In "a Bachelors Hoaeym oOn" the
theatre-going public OF this city have a
treat in store at the Oliver next Wed.
nesday evening the Goth. The farcical
play was produced originally last sea.
son at Hoyt's theatre, New York. and
scored hit with the public. The story
concerns the experience. for one day,
OF widower whose marriage is subj ct
to the approval Of his maiden sister, on
account Of the eccentric will OF his de-
ceased parents. He marries an actress
whom he introduces into his household
as governess for his twin daughte tere,
who themselves are Of marriagable age.
The complications which develop, com.
mence with the rise OF the curtain, and
become go confusing that no two char.
acters in the play know what they are
about, until the final denouement in the
last act. The fun is spontaneous, AMI
the play is SAID to be one long, irresist.
able laugh. Prices 25c, Soc, 75c and 81.

One OF the peculiarities OF "On and
or which appears at the Oliver next
Thursday, April q, is that it really re-
quires two leading men, for both Mr..
Holland and Mr.. Williams have paris
that require long experience and very
deft handling. Both OF them are upon
the stage during most OF the evening
and have to play togett er, scene after
scene, all Of them extremely amusing,
but requiring more skill than the aver
age Bison comedy. Mr.. Holland, as
the frivolous son.in.law who takes new
device in order to escape from his legiti.
mate family for few days every week,
has, of course, really the chief part.
probably one Of tn best in his career OF

There is a coincidence ia some phases
OF the similarity Of the roles in which
Kathryn kidder has made her greatest
success. Every one remembers her re-
markable creation OF the Parisian blan.
chisseuse who rose to the point OF twit-
ting the Emperor Napoleon. There is
something OF Madame Sans Gene in the
character OF Lady Tsazle in The

der has more than equelled her proceed
ing great triumph. Sir. Peter loves he r
because she is the most volatile, ire
sponsible, domineering, winsome mink
in the world. 1t is small wonder that
the creator Of Madame Sans Gene fits
into Lady Teazle as IL the role were
made for her. There is in both the
quality Of nature, the knowledge OF bu-
man vanity, judgement Of the limit OF
their victims patience. and the instinct
OF humor which demands the most deli.
cate art OF comedienne. Mise Kidder

northern people in Georgia and North

CURED to disturb the relations OF the
southern white people and the blacks
We repeat in substance what the Mes
senger said some months ago when
considering the Use opinions Of Wash
ington and two or three other men Of
his race, hat the trouble with the ne
groes was that they were so fanatical,
so blinded, so easily led astray by vici-
GUS and false friends among the white
demagogues, that they would not heed
the wise counsel and the safe conserva-
tism of leaders Of tehir race, but still
cling to the calculating scoundrels and
selfish deceivers who have led them
a dance SO often and involved them
again and again in trouble. We venture
to say now that this year will show
that there are tens OF thousands of ne
groes in North Carolina who are ready
ID follow the same old tricksters and
narplots who for grub and power
would lead them to the devil.

There is no end it seems TO discoveries.
The latest is an UNEMPLOYED Antarctic
continent called Artarctica. A Norwe-
gian vessel made a visit in 1898 towards
the frozen south. 1t returned in March
1895. The Philadelphia Record says:
"The Foyn-Borchgrevinck expedition
had succeeded in reaching the main
land of the great Antarctic Continent.
never before trodden by human foot.
The landing at Cape Adare, together
with the general cruise. was accepted
as a proof that to set foot on A~ntarctica
proper was not SO difficult as had been
hitherto considered, and that a winter
ing party would have every chance Of
spending a safe and even pleasant
t~welvemonth at Cape Adare. with a
fair chance Of penetrating to, or nearly
to, the magnetic pole by aid Of sledges
and Norwegian skies.
Several expeditions were promptly
planned, but only one got under way.
The Belgian steamship Belsica. under
command of Lieutenant Gerlache, set
sail from Antwerp on August 16, 1897.
and has now returned to port of
Montevideo after a twenty monhs
cruise"
The newly discovered and lies 1900
miles southeast of Cape Horn. The
highest latitude yet reached in the
South Polar region is SIS statute miles
from the South Pole. At almost exact-
ly the same distance from the North
Pole, on the west coast of Spitzbergen.
