A DIFFICULT PROBLEM.

A petition is being circulated among
owners of property on both sides of
Washington avenue above Eighteenth
street, asking that the grade Of the
avenue be left as il now is-that the
crown Of the street be no. cut down
How nnmarousIy this petition viii be
signed can not be stated, but II i said
that quite number of citizens, even
among those whose private improve
ments are below the present grade
OF the street, will sign il and are will
ing to bear the cost of bringing their
walks and yards up to the street
grade
on the other hand a petition Is al.
ready on file in the city concil, re-
ferred to the street committee AND
Board of Local improvements, signed
by owners of property on Washington
avenue north of Thirty fourth street.
asking that the grade of the street be
cut down to 80 feet, which is the same
as Sycamore street, and the same as
the grade of cement walks recently
built ON several cross streets between
Sycamore street and Washington
avenue.
II win be for the Board of Local
improvements and the city council
10 determine between these contend
ing factions. There are four courses
THAT may be pursued
First .-Give each faction what Il
wants, leaving the grade of the ave
nue. what IT is where protest is made
against cutting il down. and cutting il
down where It Is reques ted that this
be done
Second. Reach a compromise on
some basis that will not put either
party to much Inconvenience.
Third. Leave the matter where L
is: stop all surface street improve
ment north of Eighteenth and Tween
tieth until such time as they can be
made without friction.
Fonrth.-IgnOre all protests and
petitions respecting Washington aS>
nne: ascertain what will be best iOr
the city generally. and for the upper
half of the city particularly. adopt
whatever course may be necei sary in
order that he improvements con
templaied may BE- made-in short
take the bit between the teeth and
go ahead with the work
II Is to be said by way Of comment
that the last named course would not
be the wisest course The Board Of
Public Improvements and the city
council are the servants OF the people
and must not assume u be their mas
tiers. Hence IL is not likely that hey
would undertake to- override the ex-
pre-. sed wishes of any considerable
number Of citizens. The spirit of the
law. and the feeling that is always
uppermost in the minds of friends Of
public improvements. Is that the
wishes of the people shall be- con
shifted and shall be complied with as
far as possible This being true II l.
hardly likely that the Board or couE
ell will adopt the Fourth course above
outlined.
But il is to be kept in mind. also.
that those in authority. collectively a.
a Legislative body. are not the ser
wants Of those only who reside on one
street. or In one block, or in two OF
three blocks. but of the entire city
and as such their views Of subject
affecting the general public wea'
should be broad. embracing the inter
eSts Of the community a. large and not
permitting the interests OF whims Of
the few to stand in the way Of q great
work in which many OF all have a
vital and more OF less direct interest

The Lecture Course.

Smaller and far less important
towns than Abilene have regularly
and heartily supported lecture courses
while our enterprising and cultured
city has had no entertainment Of this
kind. Now after years Of waiting an
organic alton of fifty of the leading
business and professional men Of the
city has been effected to supply the
long felt want Of lecture course.
The first attraction in the series Of
five entertainments will be the Clncin-
natl Ladies' Cremona Orchestra, to-
gether with Mr.. Madison, basso.
This splendid organization, which
met with ovation everywhere present.
ed last year, will be at the Seelye on
Thursday night, Nov. 8.
The gentlemen who are giving
their time and energy to make the
course the success it deserves to be

"sHOO-FLY" MADE GOOD.
Cole & Johnson Pleased Audience
Haverly's Minstrels Coming.

From saturdays Daily.l
| Cole q johnson made good last
night in 1.-THE Shortly Regiment.
From he time the curtain rose on the
first act until it fell on the third, there
was steady round o. real melody
and fun. The male chorus Is one oil
the best ever heard in Abilene and
the women with the show had better
voices, were as graceful, and many Of
them as pretty, as the chorus Of any
musical comedy that has ever played
in town. Anna Pankey. as the princi-
pal Of the colored school, showed q
voice Of wonderful range and sweet
ness, and the song, southland" by
by the male chorus, with Miss Pankey
singing old folk songs, "Suanee'
River" and sold Black Joe,n was q
marvel Of melody.
The costuming Of the show was
good all the way through, and the
Spanish costumes in the second act
were especially beautiful. Miss Siren
Nevarro is toe dancer Of ability, and
does Spanish dance with fire and vi
vacity that bring her an enthusiastic
round Of applause. Andrew Tribble
as "Ophelia," did one Of the funniest
black face stunts ever seen in Abilene
and was a laugh provoker by his APP
pearance alone. The drilling Of the
soldier company was excellent and
had real military air. 1t is
not often that Abilene gets 80 good q
show as the one last night.
1t may interest many who we're de-
ceived by the excellent makeup to
know that every actor on the stage
was colored.
HAvERLY's MlNsTRELs COMING
The announcement is made that
the famous Haverly Minstrels will be
at the Seelye Nov. s. Everybody
knows Of the Haverly Minstrels and a
good performance and full house are
assured.

ATE AGAINST ovsRMvER.


The action Of David overmyer n
betraylng the Populist party In 1885,
is re-acting. He thought when he be
came the Democratic candidate fol
governor against Governor LewellinG
at that time that he would never again
enter politics and that he would put
the Populist party out of business aa
he dropped out Of the game. After
the Populist convention had renom
mated Governor Lewelling, Mr.. Over
myer and some of his friends thought
they saw an opportunity to put the
Populist organization out Of business
and Mr.. Overmyer consequently took
the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor. He accomplished the purpose
Of defeating the Populist ticket at the
polls that fall, but he failed to put
the Pop" party to sleep. The mem
bers Of that organization vowed that
they would have revenge on David
and the latter so well knew the tenn
per of the voters that he did not
again become a candidate for Office
until this year. He believed that the
Popullsts had forgotten the course he
pursued twelve years ago.
The letters which the Popullst cam
paign managers are now receiving in
dictate that the voters of the party
not only have not forgotten Mr..
Overmyer's part in the campaign Of
twelve years ago, but that they have
been waiting for an opportunity Of
this sort to even up the score with
the Topeka Democrat. The Populist,
George Bailey, who was nominated
for the Office Of attorney general this
year withdrew from his ticket and
his place will not be filled This will
give the Populists who desire TO do 50
a chance to express their preference
between the Republican candidate for
this office and the man overmyer.

ocratIc ticket, who defeated their par
