Broken Bow VIII Do Il.

Broken Bow is endeavoring to
out do itself this year in the way
of entertaining the people at
night during the fair week. The
Dixie Carnival Company has been
secured through the assistance of
the business men of the city, and
a mammoth carnival will be on
each night during fair week.
This company carries upwards of
seventy-iive people and will put
on a large number of shows,
platform acts and free attra> tions
during fair week. Their own
electric light plant will illumi-
nate the streets with hundreds of
lights.
The big program consisting OF
splendid racing events, base ball
games and dozens of first class
attractions at the fair grounds
during the day and big carnival
up town at night will certainly
make the fair more attractive
than eyer.

pm. the door Of our bed room opened. and
my mothers maid appeared Her name
was Emily Whiting, but we both called her
by the pet name of "Bengy." whereas my
brother Francis always called her Whiting.
She came in and asked my mother If she
had called her, and, on being replied to In
the negative, retired. About II clock che
returned again, declaring that her name
had been distinctly called, but was once
more sent away A third time lit was nearly
u o'clock she came back, assuring my
mother that voice had called her, and
each time by the name Of Whiting. She
was certain that the voice was near.
Annoyed at this frequent disturbance, my
mother told her to go back to bed and not
to come again. Yet fourth time she re-
appeared. and this time in very agitated
state. She declared that she had had
dream or vision, in which she saw my
brother Francis lying on a rock ledge on
great precipice, terribly wounded. This
dream seemed to startle my mother. but
she tried to soothe the maid, and got her to
go back to bed. a few days later news
came of the terrible accident on the Mat
terhorn in which my brother, Mr.. Hudson,
Mr.. Haddow and Croz, the guide. were
killed, Mr. Whymper and two other guides
escaping OF the four killed, Mr.. Hudsons,
Mr.. HaddoWs and CroZ's remains were
found, but no trace of my brother has ever
been discovered. The incident I have re-
lated Is an indelible Renaissance of my
childhood. The accident took place on July
IA, the very day Of that night to which this
account refers"

ton. 1t was something written" to mark
a spot or an event. 1t Is a mistake
to suppose that these pieces were In their
inception satirtcal, but the Romans made
them so, and, as time went on, the trick
of writing Them in Latin as we'll as in
Greek, involved an attention to concen-
trated effect. The epigrammatist tried to
fill his little glass as full as possible. and
there were bubbles of malice round the
brim. Gradually the idea grew that an
the very end of the last line ought to
contain the essence of the lampoon This
type of the form was amusingly defined by
DIR. Edward Walsh, a poet of the later half
of the eighteenth century:
An epigram should be-if right
Short. simple. pointed, keen and bright
lively little thing,
A wasp, with taper body, bound
BY lines, not many, neat and round
All ending In a sting.
The poetical shape was always preserved
since without it an epigram would scarcely
have been anything at all. A French wit
La Monnoye. said that an epigram In prose
is a cavalryman dismounted But a large

KANSAS CITY's GROWTH.
In Twenty-Five Years the City Will
Have 100000 Population.
From the Kansas City Journal.


kansas City is destined to become the
third largest city in the United States, '

States district court for Kansas who will
try the law cases in the district court here
during the absence in St. Louis Of Judge
John F. Philips. within twenty-five
years." continued Judge Pollock, IF you
live long enough, you'll see a city Of
1000, 600 people here at the mouth of the

served only to point out Kansas City's des-
tiny for her; from now on she will work
for it's fulillment.'
AS he sat IN the lobby of the Hotel Bal
timore last night. Judge Pollock, who is
probably the most approachable Of any
federal judge in this section of the country,
talked of Kansas City and its obvious flu

This town literally has to dodge OPP
portunities If it is to escape its fate and
become a city Of the first magnitude. How
ural gas here? Well, anyway, 1t is bound
to come, and without doubt, If a reasonable
rate for manufacturers is fixed, it will be
the making of Kansas City. No other one
thing could possibly be of so much assist

she is today. but with natural gas as

this. But st. Louis has a big lead. There
are 10000 people there, and for decades it

A meeting to consider the rules and cove
nant for the proposed new Congrega tional
Church on Capitol Hill will be held at the
Epworth NJ E. Church next Wednesday
night. Owing to the downpour of rain and
the slush in the streets Wednesday even
ing, the 10Th inst, there was not large
attendance at the meeting called for that
time. While there was plenty of enthu-
siasm, those present did not feel justified
in taking final action.
The confession of faith, as read by the
committee, was heartily received. The
covenant was remanded to the committee
for restatement Certain rules of govern
ment We're recommended for adoption.
All OF these matters will be reconsidered

definite steps will be, taken in the cleo

The late Lady Florence Dixie once gave
the following account OF q remarkable pre-

brother lost his life:
when was very little child my Sec

barely eighteen years OF age. was killed in
the frst successful ascent OF the Matter
horn. The accident took place on July Il,

with the growth and power OF this
great western center there will be changes.
AS 1t now stands, I suppose at least half of
the people here own their own homes, but
this number wifi shrink in proportion. That
is a danger which besets many American
cities. Take the Chicago of today. 1t is
as a firebrand, and the great foreign popu-
lation there Is easily excited, and owning
no property cares naught for the destruc-
ton Of that belonging TO others. This Is
one reason why strikes in Chicago assume
such dangerous proportions, and it is q
feature of American life which needs REM
edying How this is to be done is a big
problem, one of the greatest the public ia
called upon to face"

Although church and state have now been
formally separated in France it is esti-

not be able to greatly reduce its present
budget of s7,500.000 annually for the main

visions of the new law the French govern
ment will continue to pay for life num-

rary pensions to clergymen who continue
in their present charges for periods of from
four to eight years.
