Insurance Against Cholera.

The Kansas Swine Breeders asso-
citation is considering the advisability
of a mutual insurance association to
protect the members from loss on ac-
count of hog cholera. The only thing
to hinder the carrying out of such a
plan, in the opinion of those present,
is the danger of dishonest breeders
becoming members.

Washington, Jan. 16.-According to
Consul General Mason, at Berlin, a
much friendlier feeling is developing
in Germany toward the United States,
which gives promise in the abatement
of the restrictions on American trade
that have been the source of bitter
complaint by our exporters. Mr.. Ma
son attributes this feeling to the sue
cessful outcome of the Philadelphia
commercial exposition, upon which he
bases an admirable report to the state
department.

TO LYNCH JESSIE MORRISON
Women of EIdorado Hold an In.
disnation Meeting and Sus-
Qest Hanging Her.

Eldorado, Dec. 17-Twenty women
held an Indignation meeting at Eldorado
yesterday and proposed to lynch Jessie
Morrison, the slayer of Mrs. Olin Castle.
Conspicuous among those present was
the dead woman's mother, Mrs. Roland
Wiley.
Soon after the meeting was called to
order, someone in the crowd suggested
that those present go after Miss Morri-
son, take her out to the nearest tree and
string her up. The lack of anyone with
SUFFICIENT courage to take the lead in the
matter, was the only reason it was not
attempted.
When told Of the proposition Of the
women Jessie Morrison said:
1T is all bluff on the part of some OF
my enemies, and have no fear OF any
violence. will not leave this town un-
til got ready"
Some OF the women boldly stated that
if Jessie Morrison was turned loose upon
the streets they would leave for fear Of
their lives.

gram SEE to be altogether faultless.
In the last number appeared the patriotic
piece, "America," and while playing it
the entire band arose. This fairly set
the audience wild with delight and en-
thusiasm, which evidently pleased the
players.
1t would seem odious to compare the
playing of this foreign musical organiza,
tion with the great Sousa's band, but it
can be, undoubtedly, without drawing
upon the imagination in the least. The
only Iity is, that so few were present, but
it was due to the fact that there was go
little time to advertise the event, Mana
ger Haskell only making arrangements
last Sunday morning for their appear
ance here. Unfortunate as it is that so
few we're present, it again demonstrates
tho fact that the newspaper is the great
factor to advertise, and the absence OF
sufficient tiple to give general notice was
responsible for the very small crowd.

GLORIOUS MELODY.

1t was one of the most unfortunate
things which could possibly have occur
red that tho Royal Maripe Band, Of Italy,
which played in this city last night,
could pot give sooner notice that it would
play in this city. 1t was without the
least doubt ono of the most delightful
musical entertainments which have ever
been given 10 this city-and yet there
was hardly handful of people in the
opera house to listen to this world-famous
organisation. However, those FORUM

magnificent renditions OF the. band that

there nsver was such an unbounded and
spontaneous display of enthusiasm as
was manifested at the close of each num-
Der ON the program.
The great regret felt by all present was
that their friends were not present to
enjoy with them the nusical treat given
by this band Of capable musicians.
There were nine numbers on the pro-
gran, and in honor to the band it can be
said that not ono was slighted IN the
least; furthermore, the band responded
liberally to the encores.
