OUR MIGHTY nation.
CONGRESSMAN DOLLIvER's Pa
TRIOTIC LECTURE.
Meaning Of Events in Americas His
tory-Ausplcious Opening Of the
High School Lecture Course.

Dolliver at the opera house NOV. loth
was throughout the vigorous thought
of craftsmanship. While the matter
of the lecture may not have
measured up to the canons OF those
who looked for epigrams and the
richness Of literary quotation and set
ting, yet the rugged and original
thinking, the forceful expression tne
ant illustration, the lesson Of past
events. the earnest zeal, the lofty pa
triotism, the eloquence one is accus-
timed to associate with the hustlngs
and congress, rather than the lecture
platform. compelled attention and
carried conviction to every one. Inc
lecture was serious rather than enter
tanning, and being SO, will last in I'M
preston, 1t is not often that Abilene
has the opportunity Of hearing an
address upon patriotic theme 50
profound and inspiring as last nights
lecture
As a prelude Miss Ellison sang a
500, accompanied by Mrs. Niesley'
Supt. j. H. Niesley introduced the
speaker. Every seat in the opera
house was filled.
The audience did not warm up par
ticularly until Mr.. Dolliver got to
more recent events in American his
tory. Then the applause was lavish
and especially so in response to feler-
ence to the events OF the Spanish war,
in which the speaker described the
effect Of that struggle on national
politics, paying particular tribute to
General Joe Wheeler and Hamilton
Fish.
Mr., Dolliyer dealt with the mean
ing Of events rather than with mere
annals. He traced the development
of the nation from the time OF the
Revolution to the present time. "The
war;" said he, "has brought oppor-
tunities and responsibilities. Oppor-
tunities which demonstrate that there
is something more than mere wealth
and selfishness in this nation. The
millionaire and the cowboy messed
and fought and died side by side
This opportunity has shown to the
world that this nation is a nation
with courage, that its flag must be
respected anywhere. We have a
united country by reason Of the war;
the blue fighting with the gray; Sec
tionalism has disappeared. Partisan
politics has been made less bitter
But we are told of OF the burdens o.
our new situation. Be not alarmed
Burdens are the means by which oul
nation may learn to stand erect in it'
manhood prepared for it future
Burdens with nations, as with men
are their advantage. Start boy II
life alone and he will succeed give
him money and he will probabl..
never start in life at ALL.
Through the lecture ran the lde'
that there is something higher thai
our temporal selfish welfare and tina
something is our country and its flag
"Teach the boys and girls to look t
the future; exhort to confidence an
faith in the permanence OF our inst
tutions. The idea that rich men an
rich mems children are running tn
nation is disproved by the census
, In New York every great man yo
' know, except taree families, drifte
there from the country. This is
r poor mans country"

A GREAT SHOW FREE.
All Kinds of Attractions to be Seen at
Fort ScOtt's Free Street Fair.

Fort SCOTS Free street FAR.
1t is probably safe to say, without
exaggeration that the greatest free
show ever given In the west will be
the Fort Scott Free Street Fair that
will be held in that city Oct. 10 to ID
inclusive. The grand entertainment
is given under the auspices of the
Fort Scott business men who pay the
bills and furnish the amusements FIRE e..
The street fair, containing as 1t does
the circus, menagerIe, hippodrome,
museum, carnival, theatre and old
time horse and county fair, with
many other features all merged into
one vast, magnificent, and costly en-
tertainment, and to be seen on the
streets, has entirely outrivaled the
old time institution, the county fair In
popularity. The one to be given in
Fort Scott will be the first real one
seen in this part of the country. Dur
ing the days of the fair grand and
gorgeous parades and flower displays
bewildering in brilliancy and surpass-
ing in grandeur any street spectacle
or procession ever seen In this coun-
try, will be seen together with other
free features on the streets.
No street fair would be complete
without II Midway and this Fort Scott
will have in all its glory. Here will
be seen the Streets of Carlo, with its
EAR famed dreamy eyed, dancing girls
of the east; the mysterious Hindo Jug
glers; Japanese and Indian villages;
Idols Of art; Partisan beauties and
other special features too numerous to
mention. Other attractions will be
balloon assertions, parachute jumps,
revolving ladder acts. slides for life,
perilous feats ON wires stretched from
the highest buildings, and exhibit
tions by the fire department with its
wonderful trained white horses.
The agricultural, horticultural and
| live stock departments will be COM
posed of the finest exhibits to be pro-
cured in this part of the country.
At night the streets will be COM
posed of perfect fairy bowers by the
brilliant illuminations and elaborate
decorations. Another Of the many
features will be the high class vaude-
Vile and theatrical performances on
large elevated stages erected in the
open air and positively free.
Special low rates will prevail on all
railroads running to Fort Scott, and
it is consertively estimated thar
thirty thousand people will be pres
ent daily, 1t will be u grand treal
for all, and ss the town will be at the
disposal of the visitors they will b,
sure to have a most enjoyable time as
the guests of the Fort Scott business

A Humboldt Heroine.

Miss Maggie Peery performed a
heroic deed Monday evening which
probably saved life. Miss Peery
teaches the Cuppy school on Owl
Creek and returns to town every eve
ming. Mrs. Klinken beard, who lives
on the Divilbiss farm, was driving
home and as she crossed the railroad
her horse became frightened and ran
away. Mrs. Klinkenbeard was
thrown out and dragged some dis
tance before she was freed from the
vehicle. The frightened horse DASH
ed along the road with email child
tossing about in the bottom of the
wagon. Miss Peery and her sister
noticed the runaway and without a
moments hesitation Miss Peery
jumped out and grasped the animal
by the bride. She was dragged for
nearly half a mile before the horse
was stopped by the aid of :some men
who were passing. The child and
Miss Peery were unhurt. Mrs,
Klinkenbeard was 80 badly injured
that she was taken to the home o.
Scott Mckinley, nearby, where she
will remain until she can be moved
Miss Peery is to be congratulated fol
her pluck.

Tuesdays Topeka Capital gave a
list of penitentiary convicts whose
terms will soon expire and to whom
Gov. Stanley will give citizenship
papers soon. Among them are three
from Allen county, w. II. Madden,
Chas. Mauzy and l.. ID. Brown. These
gentlemen are still remembered here.
Madden is the bigamist who with the
burden Of two or three wives on his
conscience married Miss Maggie
Hartman of Uniontown. He was
given year in the penitentiary.
Chas. Mauzy last summer shot a
boarder named Perkins at the board
ing house conducted by his wife
north of the Jail. He disappeared but
gave himself up the same night. His
wife and children have long since dis

are that he will know this place no

of driving team of horses away from
his brother-in-law's home down in
the southeast part of the county, tax

them.
