At the Osawatomie insane asylum
the other night one H. Goertzen, u
former citizen Of Coffeyvllle, hanged
himself with the bed clothing This
was the simple story sent out from
the institution, but 1t might be en-
larged into tale of heroism. Four
years ago a runaway horse dashed
down the principal street of Coffeyville
dragging carriage In which sat Mrs,
j. r.. Mitchell and her baby. Mr.
Goertzsn rushed out of his bakery,
threw himself in front of the horse,
and though dragged and hammered
In q cruel fashion, held onto the reins
until the horse stopped and the
woman and child were saved. But
he never recovered from his injuries,
and they sent him to the insane
asylum and death by his own hand.

From this il will the seen that the cost of storing water at the ButteS per acre-foot is 3.l times the cost at San Carlos, and tllat the cost at River side is 2.l times the cost at san Carlos.
 The capacity of the reservoir, the character of the foundations at the dam site. the conservative and we'll known type of dam planned, and the economy of construction all point to the selection of the San Carlos reser- voir site as the place for the construct ion of the dam.

There IS no particular star, but each member of the company strives to place his character before the audience in the most acceptable man ner It Is refreshing to see com pany working together to make the whole play Ego, instead of being sub servient to some particular stellar role. Last night in the second act Mir Chas. Smily treated ns to as clear bit of neat comedy as we have seen this season He was simply perfect, and won n long and heavy round of ap- plause, which showed that the audi- ence was in touch with and appreciated his clever work Ella Bittner con tributed clever piece of work in her drunken scene, scene hy the way that requires careful handling in order not to offend but Miss Bittner was equal to the emergency and came out with flying colors Miss Wilson sang coon song tunefully Wallace Hop per looked and acted the ''giddy' father.in law with spirit Miss Pond and Mr Mackeye were both cast in i'm portant roles and succeeded in making hits. while Bittner in his curtain speech made himself more "Solid" than ever with his audience, This company will return for one night in April, and We promise them a packed house. as they are surely deserving of it.
