Louis King Wounded by VIM. Beau.
hart, a Homesteader, at Lake
Emily.
FIRST MAN SHOOTING OF THE
SEASON IN THE NORTH WOODS
King Still Holds to Life, but Death
Is Expected Any
Hour.

The first ''thought-it-was.a-
deer" fatality of the hunting
season in the north half of the
state occurred at Lake Emily,
east of Pequot, in Cass county,
yesterday, when Louis King
was shot in the bowels, the
wound being so severe that it
was reported he had no possible
chance for recovery.
King was in the employ of the
Cross Lake Lumber company,
and was going through the
woods, near the shore of Lake
Emily, when shot rang out and
he fell to the ground, receiving a
mortal wound from a heavy
calibre rifle.
~ The wounded man was taken
to Peouot, where he was placed
in care of q physician, but last
accounts were to the effect that
he could not survive.
William Beauhart, a home
steader living near Pequot, did
the shooting, and he stated that
he mistook King for a deer and
fred his rifle before he dis
covered his mis- take.

A Kansas SunneWer.

The Lockes and Company will pre-
sent, "A Kansas SunAower," one Of the
mos beautiful plays on the circuit, on
Friday night Of this week, November
3Oh. The story Of this play is very IN
teresting. Amos Beasley and Caleb
Greene were boys together. They both
loved sweet Bessie White. Caleb was
stalwart. handsome lad who always
fought Amos battles for him, because he
was "sickly little weaklin. But Bes-
sic loved Caleb and married him, which
made Amos bitter enemy. Caleb is a
kind and lovable old man, while Amos
is miserty, venomous old rascal. He
endeavors to ruin Caleb by enicing him
INTO rash oil speculation and force Ca
lebs daughter, Alice into marriage with
hun by foreclosing mortgage he holds
on the old home. Fnk Bauer, happy
go-lucky German lad who is in love with
Glory, Caleb's youngest daughter, known
as "A Kansas Sunaower," seems to be
old Beasley's nemesis; thwarts him at
every turn, succeeds in creating a great
deal of laughter and fun for everybody,
and finally, with the assistance of Ned
Jerome, (who is Alice's sweetheart,) en-
tirely thwarts Beasley's plans and saves
the old home.
The scenes are all laid in Sunny Kan
sas, the Sunhower State" and the story
comes to a happy ending with the ap-
preaching double wedding. as Aunt
Lucy says she knew it would all deter
inmate that way"

Voted as They Shot-8r Drank?

Out Of total Of .57l votes cast a,
the Soldiers Home at Leayenworth,
Hoch got ,384. 1t would seem from
these figures that the old soldiers were
disposed to vote as they shot.-Topeka
Herald.
The above item was clipped from the
Herald and published IN the Cresset two
weeks after the election. 1t is entirely
pertinent to move to amend" by shick-
ing out the word shot" and inserting the
word drank" as different visits to this
sparicular home have demonstrated. This
Is not intended a. a reflection on the old
soldiers a. a rule. but it must be admit
ted that most Of those IN the soldiers
home with Leavenworth' saloons en6c-
ing them. have become easy prey for the
jointists and therefore vote as they drink.

TO GUST -FOUR MAYORS.
Attorney General Coleman Gees After
Mayors Of LeaTenVsrth, Wichita,
Junction City and Pittshurf.

Attorney General Coleman last week
filed custer proceedings in the supreme
court asking for wits Of custer against
the mayors Of Leavenworth. Wichita,
Junction City and Pitsburs, as punish
ment for licensing saloons in those cities.
Gov. Hoch claims to be surprised at the
attorney generals action and his friends
are busy trying to square things with the
cities under FIRE. In the campaign Col.
Harris, the democratic candidate for gov
emor. made square-toed fight for en-
forcement Of all laws. Gov. Hoch side
stepped and violated. To the temper
ance people he made luke-wam promises
and to the "wets" better promises were
made. The result was that Harris was
beaten by the whiskey democrats and
republicans in the joint districts who vot-
ed for Hoch.
1t is great deal Of satisfaction to find
that they are now partaking Of crow
While it may be claimed that the gov
emor is not responsible for the move, vel
the attorney general of his administration
has all at once gotten busy and the fao
that things were not started until after
the election is plain evidence of double
dealing In the matter. Of course, pres
sure may be brought on the different
politicians strong enough to call Coleman
off, but anyway we are glad to see the
Joint people sweat. They can see the
difference now between a man like Col.
Harris who comes out squarely and tells
them what they may expect in the event
Of his election, and one like their gov
ernor whose position is never known
twenty-four hours before something be-
gins.
The result will be that there will be a
terrible sweating and stewing In the ioint
cites as well as in the governors Office
during the next two wears.

THE BOY ENTERTAINERS,
To Appear at the Opera Hsuse in This
City Wednesday Night. Decea-
ber 5th.

Mr.. P. l. Manning. representative Of
the Southern Lycem Bureau, was in the
city last Friday and just completed az
rangements for the booking Of the Boy
Entertainers, under their management, at
the opera house Wednesday night. De-
cember 5th. The amusement public Of
Medicine Lodge and vicinity should feel
fortunate in being favored with an at
traction Of this standard.
In conversation with Mr.. Manning, he
stated that this performance was one that
possessed an originality, so different from
the ordinary, that the Boy Entertainers
can Justly claim it their own. They are
boys" says he. but giants in their re-
specdve work"
This is the bureaus FIRST venture, in
establishing circuit of one night stand,
and should it prove successful he added,
great economy could be installed into a
system whereby the smaller towns would
be favored with much better and more
standard attractions.
If you enjoy good vocal and in
srumental music and excellent imper-
sonahons you cannot afford to miss this
hioh-ciass entertainment.

The most lively topic Of conversation
since the election. is the furor created by
President Roosevelt's dishonorable dis
charge Of cavalry Of negro soldiers IN
Texas. Some Of the members Of the
Cavalry shot up the city Of BrownviUe
and one man was killed. None Of the
members ofthe cavalry would ''peach"
on the guilty ones and the president took
the animal by the horns and discharged
every mothers son Of them which canies
with It deprivation Of the nights Of citi-

throughout the country condemning the
president and asking a reopening Of the
case. Many republican papers that had
