A New Opera House at 0gaIlah

The new opera house at Ogal
lah, Kansas, is certainly a model
in every detail, being equipped
with all new scenery as well as
having lights that are a credit to
its management in every way.
The new building is something
that Ogallah may well be proud
of. The management has secured
for it's opening night Saturday,
July 9th, the beautiful musical
drama, in five acts, Queen Els
ther." The rendition of this can
tata, requires a cast and chorus
of so people. This the manage
ment has secured through the
management of Ellis talent, they
assuring US that they will render
Queen Esther" for US, identi-
cally as it was rendered in Ellis a
short time ago, Prof. Kennedy
who prepared the cantata will
appear in the cast. It is need
less to say that the production
of Queen Esther" is a rare treat
in Western Kansas and is a per
formance that is rarely, if ever,
performed in small towns. We
are assured that the performance
will be given in full costume as
well as being acted out in every
detail, the same as regular per-
Torrance. 1t is necessary to en-
large the stage so as to give room
for this production. Queen Els
Their" is one of the most beauti-
full of Bible stories and fur
nishes a grand moral as we'll as
a fine lesson. tits to be hoped
that our friends in Wa-Keeney
will favor US with a good turnout
and help us dedicate our new eff
forts successfully as well as tC
show our appreciation to those
we have been so successful in
securing to open our new opera
house. Tickets may be reserved

Lewis Sheard, Tom Graham and

a lovely Sunday scrap and it was a
three-handed assault and battery case
which wound up by costing Sheard
and Graham $3.50 each and Ballard
was soaked to the tune of fifteen
plunks.
Howard Mays enlivened the Sunday
dullness Of the Yellow Pine Park dis
trict by engaging in the fascinating
game of throwing brick but his aim
was too good for Ed Smith. who had
him arrested and his fun cost lhim
$3.50.
Tim Johnson attempted to assault
Mr. R. d. Collins with a shovel and
possibly would have killed him had it
not been that negro grabbed the
descending shovel and stopped the
blow. This happened on the works,
and in the barn on Pine street the
trouble was renewed. They both were
tried this morning. Johnson was
fined S25 and Mr.. Collins IS.
Chester Morgan was charged with
assault and battery, having disturbed
the peace and quietude Of the red
light district and for this he was fined
$50 and on the additional charge OF
using profane language he contributed
another $3.50.
The whites were Wellman, Hornet

that as long as they paid for such a

fair that the city fathers should pay
for identifying the grounds"
