Jackson Got as Years.

Elmer jackson, who shot his wife at
Jopli, on May och, was found guilty
Of murder in the second degree at Car
thage Thursday last, and will serve a
term Of rs years in the penitentiary.
The murder was admitted by the de-
Tense which was based chiefly on plea
OF insanity. The testimony offered 10
proof thereof, however, was exceeding
ly fiimsy, and on the face Of the evidence
it appears that the murderer was lucky
to escape capital penalty.

Ice Is Scarce

For q portion of the past week Jasper
people have been compelled to do with
out their daily ice, inability of the plant
at Carthage to supply the demand for
its product having resulted in local
dealers getting their supply cut. The
long continued hot wave has had the
same effect all over the country, the
ice supply being reported very short at
Webb City, Joplin, Nevada and SPRING
field rs wei as in al the larger cities.
Verify it is fat picking these days for
the ice mau. NJ advance in price has
taken effect here, however, in spite of
the rise in the larger cities.

homely Philosophy.

The Holden Progress puts it this way:
It takes o sharp knock to break an egg
from the outside, while q weak little
chick with its soft bill can break out
from the inside. It's the same way
with n town. The knocks from the out
side have little effect: it is the blows at
home that hurt town.

poem dedicated to them by Ross H.
House.
heard them Dunbars play last night;
Ian sakes you'd orter ben there;
aint had naryy sich a time since
Lily Aliens in fair;
Four fellers, that wuz all they wuz,
And thet wuz all twas needed;
Ye'd never believe the things they did
Unless you'd ben and seed it.
They he'd them bells all strung along
A mighty handsome table
And when they held 'em up aloft
An struck 'em Cain and Abell
! thought the music of the world
In one big combination,
He'd somehow formed syndicate
An come to Bufords station.
They played one piece to represent
A Sunday in the city
With chimes and hymas and sweet
amens
! tell you thet wuz pretty;
The beautiful Blue Danube waltz
The next claimed my attention,
And lots Of other splendid tunes,
Too numerous to mention.
They sang some right nice pieces too
Bout love and war and roses;
But when the funny song began
! thought I'd-Holy Moses
Jest laugh myself clean plumb to death
The crowd kept on encoring
tt. seemed to me my blamed old feet
'Ud stomp right through the floorin'.
They had big bass fiddle too,
] think they called "sello"
Twas played most entertain by
A kind a slim young fellow;
And sir the way he made it sing
Brought sich a blissful feelin
thought ! heerd the sound O. wings
A buzzin round the ceilin.
They let 'em stop at last O. course
And down they dropped the curtain;
But III inform you here and now
This one things sure and certain
I'm goin to hear them fellers play
Next year I'll bet dollar
II I'm 'bliged to drive my nag
Ten miles to Hickory Holler.

loyal to me. They tell me they like
me better on the platform. I feel that
| am doing the work of my life. Nc
greater encouragement could man
have than | have received. | am
justly proud of it."
Frederick Warde is a genius and,
withal, he is endowed with charm
ing personality, fine presence AMI
great magnetism.
1t is needless to state that he is a
thorough Shakespearian scholar. He
brings to the platform a polished bear
ing, grace of speech and gesture that
one can only attain by years of
experience, backed by natural ability.
In his lecture-sprinkled throughout
with witty remarks-one learns more
about Shakespeare in two hours than
the average mortal could read up in
a year. And what a delightful Shake
speare is Mr. Warde's. Probably that
immortal has never been placed be-
fore an audience in SO fascinating a
manner. Mr. Warde has met with
unsurpassed success and his great
subjects Hamlet" Macbeth, "The
Wit and Wisdom Of shakespeare's
Fools, and the Women Of Shake
speare."

CAPTAIN
HOBSON
Hero Of The Mersimac One Of The
Star Attractions.

Captain Pearson Hobson was one of
the brilliant lights of the American
navy. No history Of naval wariares
viii be written in the future that does
not devote spsce TO Captain Hobscn.
At Santiago he won imperishabls re-
nown. When it was known that Chr
vera's fleet Was IL the harbor the late
Rear Admiral Sampson conceived The
idea Of etfec.ually sealing it Up and
thus prevent iry possibility If escape.
Volunteers were called for to lead the
daring cxpsGiti1i End the first to re-
spond was Lieut.. Hobson. 1t was not
necessary to tell the young lieutenant
that he took his life in his own hands,
and that whether the plan failed or
not he probably would not return
alive. He knew that and knowing,
was willing to offer his young life as
g sacrifice on the altar Of his country
1t is not necessary to recount that
thrilling feat; it is unnecessary to tell
you how Hobson at dead Of night,
sunk it to the bottom and with his
comrades jumped into the stream.
His capture, imprisonment and sub

DUHBAR'S MALE QUARTET

The Dunbar Male Quartette and
Hand Bell Ringers is by all odds the
best and most favorably known or
ganization Of tiisc kind before the
American people. The organization is
now ten years old and has visited each
and every state in the Union. The
name Of Ralph Dunbar is almost a
household word and the name of
Harry Dunbar is also known equally
as well. The Dunbars in addition to
their Quartette work carry with them
the largest and most expensive set of
hand bells that have ever been con
structed. These hand bells were made
last summer in England especially for
them and this organization is the
leader Of all musical organizations
with the hand bells. They also have
an instrumental trio consisting Of the
cello, clarinet and the piano. Harry
Dunbar is also noted for his comical
readings.
The Dunbars will give two magnif-
cent programs on our Chautauqua
this summer, The following is !

sequent liberation are too well known
to need recounting; nor is it necessary
to say that it was one Of the bravest
deeds ever done. The world applauded
Hobson and his place is secure among
those who offered UP their lives at the
call Of duty
Captain Hobson is the son of a
Confederate veteran. The presence
Of the son at Santiago typifed the
perfect unity that exists between the
north and south. 1t signalled the re-
union Of all sections and the indestruc-
tibilitg Of the states. North and
south not only won honors side by
side in the war with Spain but the
war served to show to the world that
only patriot admirers and defenders
of the Union live beneath the folds Of
the stars and stripes.
Captain Hobson has become the ex-
ponent Of the movement to increase
the American navy Convinced from
worldwide observation and from long
investigation that American naval
supremacy is the only sure guarantee
Of American peace and security, and
the only effective means Of bringing
about "Peace on Earth Good Will To-
wards Men Captain Hobson is de-
voting his life to the attainment Of
this end
Captain Hobson has great audiences
wherever he goes. In lyceum and Y.
N. c. A. lecture courses he is in
great demand AT the Chastauqua he
has proved the strongest attraction
discovered in recent years.

Nothing on the Chautauqua pro-
gram this summer will be more inter-
esting than that of Edward Reno, the
great magician. Mr.. Reno is in the
prime of life and a professional in his
work. Many of his most wonderful
illusions are creations of his own. His
program is artistic and arranged for
beautiful effects and his wholesale of
fun is combined with instructions. He
carries five trunks Of paraphernaiia,
geese, rabbits,Sguinea pigs, canary
oirds and pigeons. These all assist
him in magic visions Of India.
The following are among the most
pleasing Of his illusions:
!. Conjuring outdone.
2 The Fairy Rabbit and. Growth of
Flowers.
3 Father Neptune's Fishery.

Americas Greatest Tragediap as

hicle Tor the presentation Of Shake
speare, many of his friends were
fearful that the audience who had SC
often watched him with rapture as he
depicted King Lear, Richard III, Mac
beth, Hamlet and other great. Shake
spearian roles, would fail in their al
legiance and not evince any interest
in platform recitals. Mr.. Warde's
mind was made up. The platform
was not an impulse, but the culmina-
tion Of years of thought. The die was
cast and the Associated Press flashed
the news throughout America. Speak
ing recently of that time Mr.. Warde
remarked: Il made no mistake, Shake

'THE TiFFY MAN"

Without an exception the finest man
on the platform, by his lectures he
drives out the blue demoids Of grumb-
ling with his scourge of satire, wit
and humor He is Sam Jones, and DR..
Willette is one for he has the pung-
gent sarcasm and the brilliant gift of
the one and the pathetic and inspiring
power Of the other. Every Chautau-
qua program is sadly defective when
he is left out,
Dr. Gunsaulus the great president
Of Armour Institute says Of him:

Lou Bouchamp says, "He touched
me in the fountain Of laughter and
tears and won my affections, respect
and love He is a great hearted, great
Drained, great souled man, and the
platform needs him"
Dr.. Sears is most delightful man
to meet, he has worked his way from
the humblest walk in life to where he
is listened to by more than one hum
dred thousand every year. His early
experiences, his struggle for an edu-
cation has mellowed and opened the
door Of the heart Of man, until he
can hug the whole world to his bosom
and keep it warm.
