LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE
THE Two Orphans was produced at the
Lafayette Square Theater last night Most
of the audience that greeted the stock
company had evidently followed the for
tunes OF Louise, the blind girl, and her sis

timonial to standard melodrama and to
the company by which it was interpreted
and the liberal approval indicated trat the
play offers the members of the stock COM
pany congenfa1 roles. The Lafayette com
pany has dressed the several characters an
propriately and in some instances elabo-
rately. They appear before admirable
stage settings. Mr.. Wyngate's portrayal Of

THE TRUTH OF IT.

In discussing the county superintend.
ent imbrogllo, the Cresset has done F.
M. Shell great injustice. and the friends
of Mr.. Shell insist that such statements
shall not go unchallenged. The fact is,
as the INDEX stated at the time, that
Mr.. Shell did not file bill for services
after January 14th, at all. He simply
asked the Board to hold the matter up
until the Supreme Court passes on the
question. Mr.. Shells action in the
matter had the effect of saving $33 "a
to the county. The discussion of the
question revealed the fact that Mr..
Lake had overcharged that amount and
it would probably not have been detect
ed if no question had been raised.
The manner in which the organ" is
assailing Mr.. Shell is in keeping with
its old-time tactics. The publishers
are determined to maintain their record
for never telling the truth in matters
out of which an established falsehood
might result to their political advan-
tage. But the people Of Barber county
know Frank Shell too we'll to suffer
themselves to be misguided by a mar
row contracted partisan smut machine.

II few men own the materials nec-

Why does labor produce billions of
wealth and live in poverty, while many
produce nothing and live in luxury?
We can never abolish war, while our
business is conducted in the war spirit

The Harper county papers object to
the way some politicians have charged

Dobson has not lived in Barber county

in 1894. He has lived in Wichita since
that time excepting a period of time
when he was out in California at the
federal lunch counter, and is in fact a
full -fedged Wichitan. So far the re-
publicans of Barber county are in the
soup. Every applicant for place un
