One of the greatest successes OF
the present season is John Crittenden
Webb's beautiful play, SANDY
Bottom" which is underlined for the
Wilmer Opera House at Great Bend
on Thursday April %. Possibly
the truest standard by which to judge
play is to watch the impression it
makes upon an audience. While the
author naturally desires the approval
of the critical few, it is the verdict of
the many which makes or mars.
Measured by the rule of the majority,
"Sandy Bottom" which will be given
at the Opera House is a successful
play and destined to linger in
pleaSurable memory.

ALittIe Girl Burned.

Wednesday afternoon little daugh-
ter of Oscar Reigel's, aged about
4 years, was probably fatally burned
at her home about seven miles south
of Great Bend.
Mr.. Reigel was burning some rub
bish in a field near the house, and
when he left the fire to go to another
part of the field the two children came
out to play around it. The little
girls dress became ignited. Her
mother saw, and ran out from the
house and extinguished the flames as
best she could, but the little one was
so deeply burned about the arms and
one side, that, at the time we go to
press, although still alive, it is not
thought she will recover.
LATER.-The little one died at
about noon, Thursday.
