THE Negro" by Charles S. Sager. was
presented at Engiish's Opera House last
night for the first time in indianapolis. The
first part is a pretty sketch in one act and
two scenes, in which are shown extremely
lifelike pictures of the South before and
after the Emancipation Proclamation; the
second an allegorical playlet. the object Of
which Is TO foster patriotic sentiment and
incidentally permit Of the introduction Of
some good military evolutions by the body
guard OF the Queen OF Dahomey. while the
hnal portion is clever mixture of vaude-
vile and burlesque. Mr.. Sager has GER
tainly found a large collection of capable
sistants. The performance last night was
one which redounded greatly TO the credit
Of the author. who directed the stage, and

COST OF IMPROVEMENTS
1T Is ESTIMATED THAT THE GRAND
TOTAL WOULD BE s175,2eI.25.
Controller johnson Has Taken Up the
QuestiOn-City Hospital Repairs
-Municipal Matters.

City Controller Johnson, acting mayor OF
Indianapolis during the absence Of Mayor
1aggart, spent some time yesterday ex-
amining the report of Inspector Johnson as
published in yesterdays papers. He figured
on the cost Of the improvement in the fire
department as recommended by Inspector
Johnson and his figures showed that the
cost to the city the first year after making
the improvements as recommended would
be in the neighborhood of 100000, which is
considerable more than the cost Of improve
ments as recommended by Fire Chief Bar
rett.
In addition to the fire department i'm
provements there are the changes at the
City Hospital. now under consideration and
deemed necessary, which will mean an
added cost to the city OF between $4,000
and $4,000. w. Scott Moore, the architect
who drew the plans for the new wing,
completed his task yesterday afternoon
and submitted his report to the Board of
Public Works. The figures will not be
given out until they are considered by the
board, but it is said his estimates on the
new wing are In excess of $4,000, but will
not reach the $4,000 mark.
1t is the intention of the city officials to
invite the members of the finance commit
tee of the City Council to meet with them
and take up the question of the amount
of a bond issue necessary to make the i'm
provements at the City Hospital and in
the fire department. A few of the Repub-
lican members of the Council were asked
yesterday what position they would take
on an ordinance for issuing number of
bonds. They said the question Of improv-
ing the hospital would be the first matter
to be considered, as this was deemed more
necessary than the improvements In the
fire department. They also said that in case
appropriations were made for both i'm
provements the ordinance would be
ranged as to prevent the city from using
the funds for any other purpose.
THE ESTIMATES.
Estimates based partly upon the recon-
mendations of Fire Chief Barrett and also
upon those of Inspector johnson were
placed before City Controller Johnson yes
terday afternoon. They were compiled with
the view of providing the improvements
deemed necessary at this time and the
various items are as follows:

execute some fancy dance steps. The only
other member of the cast deserving

-Four wills Probated.

ter.

Total
THE GRAND TOTAL.

The increase In the maintenance Of the
department. including feed, repairs, shoe
ing horses, ETC., is estimated at $4,000 a
year. This brings the grand total of addi-
tional expenditures the first year. includ-
ing the purchase of new apparatus, build
ing of houses, salaries, ETC., up to $175. pol Is
This figure is not as high as 1t would be
under the recommendations of Inspector
Johnson, as he recommends about fifty adj
ditional men instead of the thirty-three
men and six captains included I'm the above
list.
The new fire hydrants will be placed in
the streets by the water company and
when the new contract is made with that
corporation one of the clauses will provide
for this Improvement. But there will be
an additional expense for rentals on the
new hydrants. The question is a pexplexing
one and those who are in favor of the i'm
provements argue that many new manu-
featuring concerns could be brought to
this city should the fire service be i'm
proved. When the question of deciding on
the amount of Improvement to be con-
tracted for Is taken up IL is believed the
above figures will be cut materially by
emitting many of the items. 1t is said the
proposed bond issue will not exceed $l50,OO0,
and in that case IL will be necessary to de-
lay some OF the improvements.

Elks Social Session.

Last Saturday evening Kingman
Elks gave social session in Lakes
Hall that from pleasureable stand
point was a grand success. The hall
was tastefully decorated and no pains
spared to make the invited guests com
Portable. The Needles orchestra furn-
ished music during the evening.
Sousa's band made its first appearance
in Kingman and was greeted with ap-
plause on all sides. The singing OF
Miss Susie A. Rhodes, the handsome
young contralto from Needles, Califor-
MIA, took the audience by storm. Her
rendition of Nevin's ballad, "A Love
Divine" and last Night the Nightin'
gale Woke Me" was charming. Her
voice has wide range, wonderfully
pure in tone. Pendegast, the only
"Pende," kept the audience in roars Of
laughter with his funny and original
sayings. Pende is all right. Every
number on the lengthy program was
well rendered even to Smith and
Thompson's Cuckoo" song. Mrs. A.
]. Otis sang solo that was we'll re-
ceived. She has lovely voice. A
duet by Mr.. and Mrs. Otis and a solo
by Mr.. Otis we're also roundly ap-
plauded. Howard W. Kemper acted
a. master of ceremonies and acquitted
himself admirably. During the even
ing sandwiches, cakes and cream and
other refreshments we're served. No
one who was there, not even the most
splenetic dyspeptic, can but agree that
the session was one of the pleasantest
affairs ever given in Arizona.

A Murderer Arrested.

Last night deputy sheriff Wren ar
rived in Kingman from Signal at which
place he arrested Perfecto Lievas, who
killed Juan " Sotello few weeks ago.
Lievas was afraid he would be harshly
dealt with, but being informed he
would have fair trial he quietly gave
himself up. He claims that he was
justified in killing Sotello because the
latter had threatened to kill him il he
Lievas) married woman of whom
Sotello was enamored. Lievas mar
ried the woman but feared that So
tello would carry out his threat. He
also claims that Sotello shot him
through the foot at the time of the
killing. The evidence adduced at the
coroner's inquest was to the effect that
Lievas went to Sotello's ranch and
called him out in the middle of the
night, and deliberately shot him to
death.
