and she never disappointed an audience.
One time we carried her out OF her sick

She PLAYED Mary Staurt that night better
than she ever did. This was an actress
whom 7 admire. IN my opinion there
never was an actress Int his or any
country who is worthy to tie her shoes
She was in Wichita in 1873 and sang in a
hall near the Eagle Office. Tickets sold
for 81 a seat, but there was never q

and had she kept her money would have
been worth hundreds OF thousands.

In South Africa
Wichita Boy Says
the Beers are Right.

Mr.. A Fishbaugh. who went from
Wichita to the Spanish war, and then to
South Africa, writes of the war as fol-
lows:
Bulawayo, Matabeleland, Dec. u, 1899.
Dear Father: 1 received both Of your
welcome letters this evening. Was so
glad to hear that you had sold out and
gone to Kansas, for 1 feel sure that you
can do better there than anywhere else.
You can always find something to sell.
and then, too, you will be near your rel
atives, which will keep you from getting
the blues.
1t made me homesick to read about
your visiting Nettie and eating water
were with youl It has been so long
since 1 was there and 1 would like so
much to see Nettie and Bessie and to go
hunting with you. Sometimes I think
that I will try to save enough to go TO
the Worlds Fair at Paris next year and
then come back to America. If ! do, /
will come right out to see you and not
keep putting it off like did last time.
When I leave there, never want to
see this country again, for 1 am always
full of fever and OF quinine. There is
nothing like the climate Of the States to
brace a man up and make him feel that
life is worth living. Although II have
been doing well considering the hard
times and conditions here
Yes, the war has made things very bad
here and we are cut off from the south.
The Beers keep the railway and tele-
graph line torn up and everything has
to come by wagon from Salisbury, 800
miles north OF here. All the mines are
closed down Tor lack of supplies. Then,
too, there are many miners here from the
Transvaal. Business is paralyzed and
many skilled workmen are in distress.
So 1 found that the best thing I could do
was to inlist for the war There is very
little chance of my seeing any fighting
for 1 don't think the Beers will come up
here. In the mean time the government
is paying my expenses and something be-
sides, although it takes a good deal of
my pay for extra provisions. The English
criticise our commensurate, but 1 can tell
them that in the war we got better food
and more of it than they give their men.
! am getting very tired of it. They
keep US on the jump all the time-mount-

and polishing up our saddlery and but
