General Pearson. of the Boer Army,

sion, has been summoned from Texas to
New York by Mr. Krugers agents in that
city He is quoted as expressing the be
lief that the call is in connection with
peace negotiations. which he thinks are
in progress. It is to be hoped that he is
correct In more ways than one the
peace Of the world would be conserved by
cessation of hostilities in South Afrf-

ment ought to be satisfied that it would
be prudence and economy to make con-
cessIons to the brave burghers. such as
they could accept with dignity and honor.

B. of that city on Saturday evening will
be given here by the same company on
next Saturday evening, April 10. 1t is a
military drama OF more than ordinary
merit, the scene being the Blackioot
country in Montana. OF the rendition
Of the play as given in Ashland, the
Tidings says: "The play given by the
thespians OF Co. b, at the opera house,
Saturday night, scored a big hit. OF
the different dramas presented in Ash
land by amateur talent, il il safe 10 cay,
that in the happy selection Of charsters,
and the smoothness and effectiveness
Of presentation, none has been superior
10 that given on the above mentioned
night. Those who we're looking for
crudities and rawness we're happily
disappointed, and the performance was
equal TO many given by protest. onal
actors. The prompter. who 80 unpleas-
anily chills the enthusiasm OF many
amateur entertainments, was com.
spicuous by his absence. The staging
and costnming Of the play were on a
scalehitherto unsurpassed by local plays
and players and there was nothing
lacking TO make the affair an unqualified
success"

Was assigned TO him but which was
afterward delivered to the sssignor. At
that time Mr.. Mensch had an action
pending against the contractors. for a
larger amount and attempted TO attach
larger sum. The attachment was dis
solved ana To the surprise OF Mr.. Mensch
the warrant that had been assigned 10
him was also paid to others. This he
did not learn until after the trial Of the
action in the fall OF 1896. At that time
Mr.. Mensch plated suing the city
for the amount but members OF the
common council suggested that the
matter be submitted 10 a vote Of the
city and II carried the whole amount
due about tll00 would be paid. This
was done and by a large majority the
voters decided In favor Of payment but
the city still refused 10 pay. The claim
has been under consideration by the
council for some time, the purpose be-
ing 10 determine the legal standing OF
the claim under the statutes Of limita-
tons. Mr.. Mensch's attorneys are con-
fident the claim 10 not barred because

livery Of the warrant until October 1896
and the submission Of matter TO q vote

strong moral grounds as well as legal
ones. Other claims have been paid
