Won Many PIaudits.

The Lillian Mason Co., playing at
Peacock opera house all this week
are good. very good. In fact we en-
terrain no hesitency in saying the
best, as a whole, that have been in
Stafford this year. One of the strong:
est features of the company is that
each and every one of them are true
ladies and gentlemen, The character
istics of so many of the companies Wis
iting towns of this size is anything but
wholesome and elevating, but in the
getting together of this comPan Mr..
Vedder the manager, has seemingly
strove to eliminate all such, and from
what We have seen we are confident
he has succeeded.
Lillian Mason { Mrs. Vedder in pri-
vate life has simpiycaptured Stafford
heart and soul. Her ability as an act
ress is praiseworthy. She throws her
whole soul into her work and has most
rightfully won the many plaudits of
press and public that preceded her
to Stafford. While especially gifted
in melodrama she can play comedy to
perfection and sing coon songs the
"best ever"
The "darky" character has been in
evidence, and while oflate years such
have been conspucious tfor their
absence it is nevertheless fact that
nothing pleases the ordinary theatre
goer better than a good coon
character.
Mr.. Lopez. Spanard. is with them
in musical specialties. He plays COM
edy also. He's a wonder in music.
Although born in Spain he is more
thoroughly Americanized, even to the
point of trying to enlist in the United

can war. He was then living in Wy

ALL BUT ONE SETTLED
Ditch Cases Disposed of And A Lake
Once More a Possibility.

Thirty cases in the famou:
Cheyenne Lake controversy were
settled in the term of district court
just ended in this county. This leaves
but one piece of land in litigation
the Nimocks quarter, which was con.
tinued until the next term. These
lawsuits, numbering nearly fifty, arose
out of the condemnation of land in the
Cheyenne Bottoms by the Lake Koen
Navigation and Irrigation Company
in June 1900. Three years prior to
this date, the right ofway of the ditch
from the river to theSbottoms was
condemned, but this, was settled
amicablyfst thestime. THE work in
properiticonnwa sdefayedandhampered
by reason o., the numerous appeals
from the coidemnations. For nearly
four years the matter dragged through
the courts and finally the Lake Koen
N. & I. Co. changed ownership,
passing into the hands of A. E. Still
we'll of Kansas City and other capital
lists. The latter have shown more of
a disposition to settle than to fight,
and according TO their iocal attorney,
have spent over $3.50, 900 in this term
of court in the adjustment of the
various cases. Moreover, it appears
that prompt and decisive action is to
be taken tending to the >fulfllment of
the original plan. Surveyors employed
by the new company are at present
at work on the ditch, estimating, the
cost of widening the latter to 200
feet, and it is said that the mule and
scraper will be much ein evidence
there early in the syringe There has
been sometalk of the lakes acquisition
by the government, but this is pooh
pcohed by representatives ofthe ditch
company. The Kansas delegation in
Congress has been apr reached on
the subject, but gave it little heed as
it does not meet with the Congressional
idea Of irrigation.

Captain Chapman was badly wounded in the leg at the battle of Cedar Mountain and was among the missing. Search was made for him in vain, but Dr. Bissell, who was surgeon of the Fifth, at last found him in the edge of copse of woods, where he had crawled after being wounded and where he had lain for two days. The wound in his leg was full of maggots when he was found. Dr. Bissell most tenderly cared for him, and at Virginia Hotel hospital, at Culpepper Court House, Dr. Bissell amputated the wounded leg.

He was in charge of the soldiers home In Dayton, OlMo, for some time and was then transferred to the governorship of the branch sc.- diers home at Marion, where he passed away.
 The letter to Surgeon Blssell an- inouncing the death of Captain Chap man was from Captain John Pitt Stack. Of New Haven. bandmaster at the Marion home. who was years ago leader of Stacks band. New Haven, and was formerly of the Second regi-- nent band of this city. Captain Stack in his letter speaks also of another loss the home at Marion had sustained in the death of the chief surgeon at the home, Dr. A. s. Kimball, who was hifried lasf Saturda1y
