weeks ago. Rumbaugh was married and
was one of the most prominent citizens
of Mount Pleasant Two weeks ago last
Monday he left home without indicating
to his wife or relatives whittier; he did not
return and why not, and efforts to locate
him were unavailing.
Yesterday his wife, despairing or his re-
turn, had her whole effects packed and
was prepared to leave today for the home
of her father in LeadVille, Ohio. AS
result of the news from Colorado Springs,
however. she will defer her departure for
the present.

regiment in the Philippines during the
Spanish war.

AL TO HAVE THEIR WORRIES

For the next eight months, begin ming at s:45 o'clock this morning, there will be troubles for a large pro portion of the population of Mont gomery. For at the hour named the schools of the city will take up their winters work.
 It goes entirely without saying, with anyone who has ever been boy or girl, that the juvenile portion of the population will have troubles. and troubles a-plenty. And the mothers of the city will have their little wor- ries-- occasionally with getting the dariings off to school promptly, and acting as arbiter, and sometimes as special pleader, in the disagreements of the pupils and the teachers. The teachers, too, will have something to think about besides how they are 'go- ing to spend next months salary.
 About the only classes who will not have worries. during the next few months, will be those proud individu- als who have gone to school until they have learned all that can be taught them. and have the coveted dips" but who have not yet assumed the cares of family: then, too. there Is the august head of the family--the batter familias --who waves aside the story of the trials of the children and their mother telling them he cannot be bothered with such trifies."

A number of notable New York, Pnil- adeIphia, Columbus. O., Louisville, De- troit and Southern friends Of MT. f1eid are expected. as well as soodly sprinkling of newspaper men from dif- ferent parts of the country where MT.

 1t ts a remarkable fact that of the original organization. which started with Mr. Field twenty-five years ago. pr. Quigley. the manager, and Joseph R. Reider are still with him.
 MT. Field has seen all of the old time minstrels. including the venerable Dan EmIaet. the originator of min strelsy in this country. and the author of Dixie, pass away, and he Is with the exception of two or three the last of America's great minstrels.

The principal feature with Buffalo Bills Wild West this season is re- production of the Battle of Summit Springs, one of the deciding conflicts in the governments task of subduing the red skin. Colonel William r. Cody (~Buffalo BilrO participated in the original battle on July II, 1869, at Summit Springs, near the western border of Nebraska.
 In this battle Chief Tall Bull. who was in command of the renegade In- dians, or Dog Soldiers" as they were called, was shot and killed at a dis tance of about forty yards, by Buffalo Bill who shot him from his horse. This important incident will of course. be reproduced as part of the realistic mimic battle.
 General E. A. Carr. who was in command of the government forces; General E M. Hayes, General William P. Hall, and other officers who partic- ipated in the original battle are still alive and will be impersonated in the battle scene in the Wild West.
 Incidental to the battle scene will be shown many interesting features of Indian life; the erection of an Indian village will be shown, and incidents of Indian camp.life will be faithfully depicted. The attack by the troops under General Carr, will constitute stirring scene and the rigors of war will be dramatically illustrated.
 The Battle of Summit Springs, while the chief feature of the exhibition, will by no means constitute the only scene of Western life. There will also be the great train hold-up, showing one of many scenes of lawIessness which have followed the westward march of civilization, and there will be "A Hol- fdav at TIE Ranch" in which scene there will be blended the pleasures and pastimes of the plainsmen with the horrors of an Indian attack upon the whites.
 The three big scenic features will be of exceptional interest because of their historic correctness and because of their value as replicas of scenes taken from an eventful period in our na- tion's past.
 The exhibitions of horsemanship by the Rough Rider contingent will form a novel and interesting section of the program and at every performance Buffalo Bill will be in the siddle di- recting the entertainment and partici- pating therein

 MT. Field has unquestionably done more for minstrelsy than any man liv- ing. He has had in his company all of the greatest known opponents or black face comedy and he had also the distinction of taking on his fare we'll tour the late Dan Emmet.
 Real theatrical birthdays or annt- versaries such as Al. G.
