GLOBE SIGHTS.


TF'rom the Atchison Globe.1
How soon we forget the people who
| have tossed US bouquets.
Give stray dog a bone. and you
| have made an annoying friend for the
! rest of your life
Not one man in a thousand knows
how to act when he enters a house
where there is a corpse
Every boy wants to go fishing at
night; from long experience, he knows
nothing can be caught in the day time
A man who has the habit of rushing
into lawsuits on slight provocation. Is
worse off than a man who drinks
whisky.
Every pretty woman has certain coy
ways, and when she employs them
after she has grown old and ugly, the
effect is CHASTITY.
There is nothing which cannot be
borrowed. Some women manage to
raise family without spending a cent
on high chairs or baby buggies.
When women prepare for visit. they
get as many clothes together as if they
expected to be cast on a desert island
for the balance of their lives
There is this to the everlasting credit
of the farmers wife: she is kept
busy that she doesn't dress her boy in
long GuTIS a1l0T ne mas put On pdnlS.
=
If you want to cut your acquaintance
with woman who has been away on
visit, wait until she has been home
two months and then ask her when she
returned.
There are some women who can't
stand near another woman without
putting their arms around her, and
every one who sees it wonders what
prompts the action.
An Atchison girls mother and father
have pleaded with her in vain for
months to give up an Objectionable
lover, and have now employed Chris
tan Scientist to give her treatments
=
An Atchison man is in trouble. His
children have passed the measles and
whoOping cough age, and just as he
was looking forward to uninterrupted
rest at night, the boys have begun to
hang around. This courtship bust
ness takes a great deal of time, con-
sidering how often it results in failure
Not so much time and attention are
put in any other venture.

The Insurrectlon Is Growing and
Two Americans Are
Killed.
THREE SLOOPS BURNED UP
A Family Captured by the In
dians-Troops Are in
Pursuit..

CITY OF MEXICO, August 4.--Dls-
patches from Guaymas show that the
Ysqri insurrection is constantly grow
ing. Jack Ramsey, a famous frontier
character, and an American photogTa.l
grspher, Ed Miller, were on the way to
Alamos when they were attacked by
Indians and killed. Three sloops on
the Yaqui river near Hedarc, were also
attacked and Aurillo f. Raredes in
charge of them was killed. The vessels
were set on fire but we're saved by fed
eral forces who drove the savages away.
1t is reported that the Romero family
we're captured when about to embark
on one of the sloops and Paroles was
killed in trying to rescue them.
Troops are pursuing the bands sup
posed to have the family. The tele-
graph line south of Alamos has been
cut. Indians along Mayo river do not
seem inclined to join in the insurrec-
ton. Colonel Angel Garcia Pena tele-
graphed yesterday that Don Carlos
Hale, noted merchant, was not killed
as reported. Official advices up TO
Monday, however, state that after Gen.
eral Torres forces took Bacum they
found ten dead of troops from Cocorit
four of the body guard of the Yaquis
chief, Maldonado, and the body of
Hale. They say nothing has been
heard of the chief.

1T WAS LADIES' NIGHT.
The Rose StilIman Company Presented
the Drama "A Night off,

The attendance at the rendition of
"a Night OFF, by the Rose Stillman
company at the opera house, last night,
was hardly commensurate with the at
tractiveness of the play. The fact that
it was "ladies' night should have in
sured crowded house, not because a
larger percentage of ladies than usual
would probably attend but on account
of the concession in the rates of admis-
sion.
The play itself was most admirably
rendered. Manager Riggs announced
on Wednesday evening that it was the
best production in the repertoire of the
company. Certainly the members of
the company were up to the mark In
playing 1t, the audience being exceed
ingly well pleased and indulging In
much applause
The Stillman company is deserving of
much better houses than are attending.
Tonight Miss Stillm an will play La
Belle Marie, one OF the best plays in
her repertoire. Tomorrow, at the Sat-
urday matinee, farce comedy, The
Judge, will be the bill.

negligence and ignorance of
matters with which he and army Off

In his letter the mejor general stated
that he was informed that the custom
officials were to blame for the delay in
