When the hour ar rived Judge Chapman called the case. The county attorney was present and said that all of his witnesses were not present and Judge Chapman then dis missed the case saying he did not in tend to have the court bothered by any more coses of that character. It was remarked by a spectator that Joe Cannon or Tom Reed in their palmiest days had nothing on Judge Lewis. He Wondered! The editor of a country newspaper received the following query: “Can you tell me what the weather will be next month? In reply he wrote: “It is my belief that the weather next month will be very much like your subscription.” The inquirer wondered for an hour what the editor was driving at when he happened to think of the word “unsettled.” He wrote in the next day and squared his account. House Burns. Spence Advocate: On last Thurs day the home of Robert Hamilton, over in Holt county, two and a half miles south west of the Whiting bridge, caught fire and was burned to the ground. Mrs. Hamilton was wash ing and did not notice the fire which caught in the shed kitchen, until it had gained such headway that all efforts to save the house were futile ' and only a very small portion of the furniture and clothing was saved. ! Just how the fire started is not known 1 but it is surmised that sparks from the fire fell on the shed kitchen and | was soon fanned into a blaze by the ’ brisk breeze. The loss was partially I covered by insurance. Bigun-Adams. Married, at the Catholic church last Monday morning, at 7 o’clock, Frank J. Biglin and Miss Constance Adams, Rev. M. F. Cassidy officiating, in the presence of a large number of the re latives and immediate friends of the contracting parties. At the conclusion of the wedding ceremony the bridal couple and their immediate relatives repaired to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Stout, aunt and uncle of the bride, where a splendid wedding breakfast was served. The bride and groom were the recipients of many useful and valuable wedding presents. The bride is one of O’Neill's most charming young ladies, born and grew to womanhood in this city. She is a young lady of many graces of mind and person, who is capable of filling the home she will adorn with happi ness and will prove to be truly a help mate and companion by the husband she has chosen to honor with her hand. The groom is from one of the pioneer families of this city and county and by those who know him is considered to be one of the coming young men of the county and one who will make his mark in the business circles of this section of the state. He is thrifty and energetic and his friends are numbered by the score througout the county. The happy young people left on the Northwestern Monday morning for a short wedding trip to Kansas City and other eastern and southern points and upon their return will go to house keeping in the northeastern part of the city. Mr. and Mrs. Biglin enter the journey of life together under the most favorable auspices and with the well wishes of a host of friendB and acquaintances for a long and happy life, in which The Frontier most heartily joins. “PAID IN FULL” A splendid audience greeted the K. C. Dramatic Company at the opera house last Tuesday evening to witness this popular Company produce “Paid in Full,” one of the strongest plays that has ever been upon the boards in this city. Joe Brooks, the selfish husband, who was anxious to live a life of luxury and ease without laboring too hard therefor, was very ably taken by Frank Harrington. He handled this difficult part with the ease and grace that is only expected from professional actors. Ben Harty, as Jimmie Smith, the generous whole-heartd young fellow, was at home in the part. He very ably filled the part of the true friend and carried sunshine with him every where. Capt. Williams, the hard-headed business man and the supposed villiar. of the play, was E. H. Whelan. Ed. was also at home before the foot lights and handled this exact ing part with ability. One of the finest parts of the play was in the third act where Mrs. Brooks visited the Captain to plead for the liberty of her worthless husband, and in this scene Mr. Whelan was at his best. The part of Mrs. Brooks, the wife of Joe Brooks, was taken by Miss Kath leen Stannard. This was a very diffi cult part but Miss Stannard was equal to it. She possesses histronic ability of a high order and this part gave her a splendid opportunity for the display of her talents. As Mrs. Harris, mother of Mrs. Brooks, Miss Margaret Donohoe very acceptably filled the part and proved that she could very easily handle a more difficult role. Miss Beth Harris, sister of Mrs. Brooks, was very ably taken by Miss Helen Harrington. Although this was Miss Helen’s first appearance upon the stage, there was no evidence of stage fright, and she filled the part with the ease of an old-time thespian. Edward Whelan, took the part of Sato, Jap Valet to Captain Wiillams, and made a decided hit with his abreviated English and the vehemence with which he expressed himself. Specialities were given between the acts. A recitation by Frank Har rington and songs by Miss Mary Fitz simmons and Miss Margaret Donohoe, which were heartily received. For Sale.
