A PROMINENT ARRIVAL.
The SIumplkins Family Has Decided
TO Pitch Its Tent I'm this In
wiling Burgh. -.

The Echo has this week to announce
an event of unusual Importance toLeav-
enworth. 1t is no less than the arrival
in our midst of the Slumpkins family,
direct from Slumpkinsville.
Having heard of the salubrity OF our
climate, our rarified and invigorating
atmosphere, our pure mountain water,
our fertile valleys, the great mineral
wealth that lies hidden away in the
bowels OF the mountains, only waiting
the magic touch of the adventurous
prospector with his pick and shovel to
uncover the hidden treasure that will
make this town the equal of Johannes
burg or Cripple Creek.
Having considered all these advanta-
ges and many more, too numerous to
mention, the Slumpkins family decided
to pitch their tent right here where
they could have the advantage of a
good school, a good church and good
society.
The family consists Of Major Solomon
Slumpkins, Mrs. Mary Jane Slumpkins,
Miss Soughsan Slumpkins, Young Mr..
Scion Slumpkins and Master Sammy
Slumpkins. sometimes called Buck
Slumpkins for short.
While health and good society is the
chief object of the Slumpkinses
in coming here, the recouping OF
large fortune, lost some years ago
in oil speculation is a secondary consid.
GRAFTON. OF course, Major Sol will not
lose an opportunity to turn an honest
penny should one cross his path.
incidentally we may mention that
Colonel Sellers, of Missouri, now de-
ceased, was cousin of Major Slump
kins'. The major is also distantly re-
lated to Colonel Carter, of Gainesville,
Virginia. Mrs. Mary Jane Slumpkins
was Grundy before her marriage to
the Major.
While the writer is not in possession
of the passport to the sacred precincts,
he is assured that by connection, wealth,
breeding, and education the SIumpkins
family is entitled to take seat in the
front row of Leavenworth' four hun
dred. The Echo takes the liberty of
bespeaking for them hot welcome.

Firemen AS Minstre1s.

Pullman Hose Co. No. 1 is GER
talnly most versatile aggregation.
Not only is it always on the spot
when a confagration demands its
attention, but in the fun and the
frolic of minstrelsy it appears quite
at home, and last night, when the
lads appeared at the auditorium
in the role of black face entertain
ers, they won the appreciation and
applause of the large audience.
The performance, which was un.
der the management of H. A.
Smith, opened with a grand min
strel first part, entitled the "Coon-
town Fire Brigade" and most
novel and entertaining first part it
proved, the most of the jokes and
situations being new, and the sing
ing excellent. The various per.
formers were enthusiastically en-
cored.
the second part consisted of mu-
sical numbers, bag punching, heavy
lifting, comedy sketches. etc., in
which the members of the company
showed to good advantage, and
while we would like to mention
each number individually, time and
space will not permit it this week.
