Deserved Better.

The musical at the M. e
Church on Wednesday evening
of last week was not a. we'll ut.
tended as it should have been,
but this no doubt was due to the
heat. The program was given
under the direction of Mrs. Hum
nell, a former Baxter Springs
lady, now of Des MoineS, Ia. The
several numbers, chorus and
solos, all deserve much praise,
= the result of very careful
training by Mrs. Hummell, who
is not only a thorough teacher
but talented singer and pianist
as we'll.

lone BANDIT
RODS FRISCO
Covers Three Men in Office
and Empties Cash Drawer
and Their Pockets
Backs Quietly Out
and Is Gone

A lone bandit entered the Of
fee of the Frisco station here
Monday night at IL o'clock,
commanded the operator, John
Collins, and Nelson Brock and
a travelling man who we're with
him, waiting for a train, to hold
up their hands. The three men
obeyed with alacrity, for the
robber had a bad eye and a big
gun.
Just as the three victims had
their hands straight up, Clare
Rehm,' who is substituting for
Jim Hunter, the regular night
operator, drove up in a taxi, he
saw the performance, but think
ing of course il was the Univer-
sal men stageing 4 film he walked
in. "You, too, hands up" called
the bandit, and Clare fell in line,
whereupon the gun-man went
through them. He took the
company cash amounting to $50,
which Collins had just checked
up to turn over to Rehm. From
Rehm he got 55 cents, from the
travelling man 81 so, while Brock
had an empty pocket.
After this operation the ban
dit marched the trio out onto the
platform where he set them on
truck and entertained them for
about ten minutes. He then
backed away into the darkness
and disappeared.
Officer Black was then notified
and a search is under way for
the robber, but 40 far he has not
been apprehended.
Before the robbery the man
stood on the station platform and
talked with the travelling man
for several minutes.

The past week has been given to the pains and pleasures that usually attend commencement exercises. Thsee exercises of the past week wNich close the scholastic year were excellent and prove the good work of ihe principal, Miss Margaret Keenan and her efficient staff to be of the very best. Too much praise cannot begiven to the public school. The pretty little play by the small men and women of the primary grade given on Wednesday evening under the supervision of Miss But was beautiful and showed the careful training oS the children. The exercises of the following ev- ening from the salye to vale were such as to clearly demonstrate the the painstaking care and training of the school by those In charge. The little black face" artists made one think of the glory of the by-gone days of Primrose and Vests min strels, when the double shuffle" and "Ouck and wing" were part and parcel of the minstrel training. Fhegr small people had all that and the graceful swing of the lower limbs which SO few white people can successfully initiate. Added to this was the tango with all the new ,teps of today. The happy young sters entered into the spirit Of the dance with much grace and aban- don, particularly in the closing danes - "basket Quadrille" and "Virs mia reel Every number was followed by enthusiastic recalls.
