think of the word “unsettled.” He
wrote in the next day and squared his
account.

miles south west of the Whiting

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.

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

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.
