what might have been a serious acci

ing up Fourth street from the post

corner of the Nebraska State bank
building, into the air and the sign
struck Mr. Cameron on the forehead
and knocked him to the walk un
conscious. He was picked up and
taken to a physicians office and then
home. He received a very hard blow
on the head and was unconscious about
all night, in fact did notcome rightly to
himself for about four days. We

days. The sign on the street is now
securely fastened.

Deputy Sheriff Brittel was called to

inquest on the body of George Lamp
1 heir, one of the pioneers of Saratoga
township, who committed suicide last
' Sunday morning, by cutting his throat.
Mr. Lampheir rose Sunday morning
before the rest of the family, took a
razor and cut his throat while standing
in the kitchen. Then he walked to the
■ barn and slashed himself a couple of
' times more, almost severing the head
! from the body. His body was found
' by his son-in-law, Dave Anderson, who
1 with his wife made his home with Mr.
1 Lampheir. No apparent cause for the
act has been ascertained, but it is sup
posed that he suddenly logt his mind.
About ten years ago he was afflicted
with mental trouble and spent a few’
1 months in the insane asylum. He
t leaves a wife and several married
i daughters and one son, Dave Lamp
; heir, who .lives in Montana.
1 It pays to advertise. A week ago a
l notice was inserted in The Frontier
D calling a meeting of the O’Neillites
’ who were interested in the golf club
’ for the Golden Hotel Thursday evening.
' The prospective members were urged
5 to attend and bring a few ideas with
J them. They attended and also brought
t along ideas and the result was one of
the most interesting meetings that has
f been held in this city for a good many
r days. The great scrap came upon the
3 adoption of the constitution and by
5 Jaw’s for the organization; the main
e scrap hinging upon the question as tc
r who should be compelled to pay dues
H and membership fees; whether the
members of the fair sex would be per
i. mitted to en joy the benefits of the elut
s grounds without the necessity of join.
? ing the club and paying monthly dues
e or whether they should be taxed foi
their membership. The line up on th<
question showed the married mei
favoring the payment of dues by al
who wished to join the club, the fee:
for the ladies being half that to b<
paid by the men; while the single met
were “strong” for the ladies and thej
wished them to be permitted the us<
of the grounds without fee or price
Several strong arguments were put up
by the young fellows in support ol
their position, but there were too manj
married men present and the young
folks were defeated and the regulations
as adopted provide that ladies as wel
as men wilr have to pay membership
rees and dues. Judging from th(
meeting the chances are thai
at the next regular meeting
the rule will be amended so as to allow
the ladies the use of the grounds with
out the necessity of paying member
ship fees or dues.
"The lted Circle.”
Will be shown Tuesday night as
usual.

“This Is The Life.”
The management of the K. C. Opera
House takes pleasure in announcing
the coming of one of the latest and
best musical comedies, which will ap
' pear at the K. C. Opera House on
i Thursday, March 9. “This is the
. Life,” promises to exceed the laughter
limit with its clean, bright, wholesome
i comedy. It has been many years since
the theatre-going public have had an
opportunity to witness a musical
comedy of this kind. Halton Powers
I considered to be. one of the largest
. producers of musical comedies in the
West, has s'pared no expense in launch
ing this organization, selecting the
, best to uphold his years of reputation.
The cast, which has been oarefully
selected, are well known to musical
comedy lovers, having apeared in the
larger cities with well-known product
ions. The chorus of young and pretty
maidens sing and dance gracefully.
Mr. Powell’s brand of “girls” shows
has never failed to please the most
critical audience, because he is quick
to anticipate the public wants and
1 never disappoints.
“THIS IS THE LIFE” which will
1 appear here for the first time comes
well recommended and judging from
the newspaper criticisms of other large
cities it Will be thel best musical
comedy that will play here this season.
The scenic production is carried com
plete and the costumes are said to be
1 magnificent. It is safe to say that you
will not go wrong when you witness
“This is the Life.”
