The Play Last Night.

The third play given by the Noble
Dramatic company at the Park opera
house was presented last night. 1t
was entitled '"he Gold King and
it was a very high class play in every
sense of the word and worth a good
deal more than the admission price
charged.
The parts of the hero, Jack Rich
mond and the heroine Pug were
exceedingly well portrayed. the acting
was splendid and natural. The Irish
man was very comical and full of
original wit,-not the hackneyed and
dry stage wit which is so often worn
to tatters-but good, original and
comical. The gravest person in the
house could not keep down the laugh
that would come. The people nearly
split their sides laughing at the comdy
which was generously sprinkled
throughout the play.
The more serious parts of the piece
were equally well played. The act
ing was sensational and exciting.
Never a slip was made, and the parts
were taken as naturally as every day
life.
The audience was not kept waiting
during the intermissions but were
entertained with high class special
ties, which kept the audience in an
uproar of laughter. There was but
one thing to be regretted and that was
that the audience was rather small.
although they were very appreciative
and enthusiastic with their applause.
The play and in fact all the plays
they have given are worthy of very
full house, Ineriting much larger
house than turned out last night
Now that the good reputation of the
company has been spread broadcast
and the fine character of plays pre-
sented, the crowds will probably fill
the house. The play which will be
presented tonight is delightful COM

exhibition of ball playing can be ex-

The Salina, Kansas Evening Journ-
al of May 1lth has the following to
say in regard to the Sioux: 1T was
nothing less than a massacre that
took place at Oak dale park yesterday
afternoon in the presence of several
hundred spectators, and started with
stampeding the pale-faces in the first
inning when Mr.. One Feather gather
ed in whole handful of plumage by
knocking the ball out side the statute
of limitation and the Indians COM
menced to come in OFF the reservation
as though the 1lth cavalry was after
them, until four of them had scored
After the third inning the Indians
closed their books and retired from
active business except in mainta ining

A Foolish Practice.

Within the past few weeks there has
developed practice which has reached
the point where it may be termed nuis-
ance. The reference is made to the firing
of pistols at any and almost every hour
of the night. Some time shot is heard
on one street and in short while another
neighborhood is treated to the same kind
of alarm. This being the usual method OF
alarm for fire, how is anyone to know
when there is anything wrong, when this
kind of thing is carried on? Not only
that, the part of town in which the firing
of the pistol takes place is needlessly
awakened. But higher than that, it is
direct breaking of both State and city
laws. Is it possible that it cannot be
stopped? Certainly not, and if the law is
enforced as it should be, this foolish prac-
tice will be stopped and without delay. K

Not the Original Company.

Editor The Bamberg Herald In look
ing over the roll of the Bamberg Guards,
published in last weeks issue, I find that
you did not understand me. A A. was
not the first Bamberg Guards. I'VE went
into the war as Co. z, with W. B. Rice as
captain; E. R. Hays, first lieutenant; I.
S. Bamberg, second lieutenant; and Jacob
Cooner, third lieutenant. We served as
Co. z from July, 81 until the spring of
'62, when the company was reorganized
as Co. A. A good many of the boys did
not 60 with US, but went into Co. E. At
this reorganization 1. S. Bamberg was
elected captain of Co. A.
Company E was game, you bet. 1 don't
want to leave out the boys. Let US get
together and fix up the rolls of Co. z and
Co. A, and have grand old time at Bam-
berg, my old home. I detail Maj. E. R.
HAYS, the editor and G. B. Free to get it

spite of the daily exodus of the gay so.

social activity.

HoopSKIRTs CHoKED THE RIVER.
Thousands OF Them Were Thrown Into Stream
at Kalamazoo.

The Kalamazoo council has under con-
sideration the dredging Of Kalamazoo
river from the city of Cooper, distance
Of several miles, for the deepening of the
bed in some places and the removal of
sandbars in others. The estimated cost
of thorough job is $4,000, and for
half the money, it is believed, the situa-
tion can be materially improved and the
damage by floods greatly lessened.
If the dredging is undertaken, particu-
lar attention should be paid to that por-
ton of the river within the corporation,
which has never recovered, even with
times help, from the choking of the chan
mel received during the hoopskirt era of
forty years ago, when every cast-of GRIN
oline found its way to as near the middle
of the stream as wounded and outraged
male member of the household could
throw it. These old hoopskirts are there
yet, save the comparatively few-which
are many-raised out by fishermen with
hook and line. They are there by the
thousand; plague and pestilence breed
er. They have damned the river and
been damned by riversiders.
The merits of these ancient skeleton
balloons beat brushwood blind for strain.
ing water and retaining residuum. All
sorts of floating wood trash found
a foothold and lodged in them. They
became shadows, and the shadows Of
pestilence for which the hoopskirts are
responsible. All these antique memories
of the maids and mothers of many years
ago should be scooped out of Kalamazoo
and something done to put them out Of
action, though heaven knows how it can
be done. Possibly deep pit in some Sc.
cluded place would hold them. They
should be planted as near the centre OF
the earth as possible, lest some scientific
researcher for prehistoric remains ind
and exploit them as the bones of pre-.

The Doctor Enlightened.

Representative Livingston, of Georgia,
repeats a story that was told him by a
physician on duty at hospital in Allan
ia.
One day there entered the hospital a
young colored woman badly bitten in the
neck Just back of the ear. The doctor
who dressed the wound said to the patient:
"It perplexes me to determine just
what sort of an animal bit you. This
wound is too small to have been made by
q horse and too large to have been indict.
ed by a dog or cat"
The colored woman grinned. "Sho',

to have been the victims of a negro organ:

An Invitation.

Say, will you come with me awhile and
let's have look over our new advertise
ments for this week? There is much ins
terest to be found there, for it is not
always the news columns which contain
the most news, but often the index to-
towns growth is found in the ads. sent
out by it's merchants.
Now, for instance, the Mutual Bene6t
Life Insurance Company, suppose they
should have an ad. in our columns this
week; they'd tell you all about the; ;policy
which they pursue in granting policies
about the strength of the company, who
are its agents in the State, and such other
things which would be of interest to any
one looking for company in which toI
insure his life. And it is true that they
have an ad. in this issue.
Or, again, if you were looking for 2,
place to buy fine clothing or line Of fine
foot wear, you whould look over our adj
vertisers, and find out who had the neW-'
est line in, and right to that place you'd
20; and to illustrate this you would SEQ
the name of E. O. Kirsch, who has just
received full line.
There are those who are painting their
dwellings at this time of the year. And
others who want new hardware to place
in their household. In this case it will not.
be long before the road will be filled with
shoppers going to see the line Of goods
advertised this week by the Simmons
Hardware Company.
And so on in this way you learn through
our ad. columns that the merchants are
expecting large fall trade. Watch ours
advertisers and you will find no trouble
in finding the places to buy the best and
cheapest. SsS
