4. Lincoln Kirk gave his mouologue
entertainment under the auspices OF the
| Glass 'O4. l. z. II. 5. Mr.. Kirk has
visited this town on two previous occa-
sions, so was not by any means a stran-
ger to a majority of the audience. His
| humorous sketches were rendered in a
ludicrous manner, and his impersonation
of Farmer Grey" and rip Nan Win
kle" were very good indeed. Vocal Sc
lections were rendered by Mrs. l.. Burton
Jones and Miss Ella Chadwick, Miss
Beatrice Reeve presiding at the piano.
There was also cleverly executed In
strumental duet by Mrs. Rawson aud
I Miss Ethel Smith. With all due respect
to Mr. Kirk for his excellent perform
ance, it may be safely said that these
local features were more highly appreci'
ated by the audience than were the
( efforts of Mr.. Kirk.

characterized by its broad patriotism,
its exquisite humor, its faithful portray.
al of great leaders of both armies, its
pathetic delineation of thrilling Incl

description of the closing scene at Apo

stood together in the little brick house
in that last act of the great drama, and
the mingling together of the soldiers OF
the hitherto hostile armies. The power
to move an audience to tears and laugh

make it hang breathless upon the lips OF
the speaker is given to but few men
This marvellous mastery over the human
heart was exhibited Tuesday night By
Gen. Gordon in manner which proved

A MAN OF MYSTERY
An Interesting Past Partially Revealed
 by Trifling Incident.

Trough the most tri1inE violation of the law. story of unusual interest was revealed in Justice Burhett's court yesterday. The name of the man con cerned is withheld, even though he is a stranger. for therr is more yet to the story tha has thus far been told, the notoriety might serve to interfere with his future plans for obtaining em- ployment and there is nothing in his appearance that indicates the criminal.
 Cant. HI Mcdonald, of the Five Points police station. saw him pass the store of MT. Flood at Five Points and surreptitiouslY seize an orange from the fruit display quickly concealing it in his pocket. He was arrested for petit larceny and taken before Justice Burnett, who listened to the story of the arrest. After looking through the contents of the mans pockets he decid- cd that there was something wrong but that the accused was entitled to sym pathy rather than punishment. so he assessed him the costs, which he paid and was discharged.
 It was learned that he had been stopping at lodging house in the city, but for some days had been associating with men who are unmistakably ho- bOes, though he was fairly well dressed and had considerable amount of mon ey in his pockets. He said he knew he did wrong when he took the orange which he really did not want and did not know what it was possessed him to take it. He said he was never ar rested before and never had a criminal impulse. The ten dollars bail that he had at first tenedered. he said, was all that stood between him and the poor house, seemingly forgetting that he had money in his other pockets, and that he would commit suicide before going to a poor house. Justice Burnett in looking through his papers found that he had lived in Omaha for many years and had at one time been very wealthy. He went to that city when it was a frontier town ard by frugality and careful investment had amassed a for tune, being a large owner of realty. He was a candidate for the state sen ate some time in the eighties and had been ardently supported by the Omaha Fee, a copy of which was among his effects, but he was defeated at the polls with the whole ticket on which he was running.

The boys arc confined in the womens room of the county jail. There were no two more downcast boys in the territory yester day than these two and they did good deal of weping.

 CHRISTMAS BUSINESS. - Post master M'Clintock desires kept before the public, the fact that a great deal of time and trouble will be saved foi both the patrons and the office force. if those mailing Christmas, br other parcels will put their own names and addresses or .I corner of the plckage before presenting i. tor stamping. This is particularly true with par cels for registration as it is essen- tial that the name of the sender be placed on registered matter and it can be done better before bringing it to the postoffice where all is hustle and rush at this time of the year. Thus far everything is running smoothly and the Christmas business is beng handled with no trouble. A wagon load of mail, most of it registered, went north on yesterday mornings train. The Christmas presents for the east are now fast finding their way into the mail In d day or two more those destined for coast points will soon be the greater in number and directly after the incoming rush will begin. Christmas and it's celebration has come to be n business proposition equally as much as a sentiment.
