J. B. Turner, while 10 Coffey-
willie yesterday. was informed by
Mr.. Keith, the attorney, that a
party bad been engaged for a week
or so in making final survey for
a railroad from that city to Vinita.
Ten Thousand dollars was stated
to be the amount paid for the ser.
vice-by some Milwaukee capital
lists. A road from Cofeyville,
and thence southeast from this
point would be worth more to
Vinita than any that could he

OLD MAIDS RETURN.
No End of Fun For House Full OF
People.

Last night at the opera house the
ladies Of the Presbyterian church gave
the sequel TO "The Old Maids coven-
ton, namely "The Old Maids Re-
turn" This proved to be quite as en-
tertaining as its predecessor and dis
played the talents Of the various sctors
to advantage. The convention opened
by roll call during which the prouinent
business men Of Vinita were credited
with some remarkable statements. Then
followed the experiences Of the old
maids during their matrimonial excur-
sion to the Klondike. Tiny Short Van
Tassel and her eight children called
forth repeated applause and the doll
drill was yociferously encored. Mrs.
Reamer was most comical with her i'm.
personation Of 'Shermany Man. Mrs.
R. d. Lahman pleased the audience
with the local hits in her speech; and
Mrs. SWANS good acting ELECTED de-
served applause. Among the funniest
parts of the play were Mrs. Foreman
with her Indian aud Mrs. Parker with
her Chinaman. Edgar Burlington acted
the noble red man to perfection and
Taylor Crutchfeld made capital China
man.
In the closing scene DR.. Griffith as
Mr.. Duesterdick, former tailor Of Vi
nita bat now hypontist, gave an anus
ing imitation OF hypnotic art, but was
finally hypnotized by the Persevering
secretary who proceeded at once to mar
" him with the aid Of the postmaster.
Mr.. Butler has left town for few days
until the large demand for his services
in this line subsidies.
Special thanks are due to the Vinita
Orchestra which rendered most excellent
music during the performance.
The entertainment was, like the first
one, financial success, the sale of
tickets bringing in something over $50
The Ladies Aid are most grateful for
the interest shown BY Yinita people in
thus flfing the opera house twice within
a few weeks, and If is TO be hoped that
the new window will be beautiful
enough to IN part repay them for their
kindness
