A Suoeewiful Fai,.
The Turn Verien closou its first an
nual fair at their hUon Washing
ton avenue hint evening. The fair
opened Friday evening. The visi
tors were entertained by an enter
tainment by the nr.tive turners as
sisted by the class composed of
younger and more inexperienced
members. The exercises inter
sperced with excellent music
rendered by 1'rof. Heck and Miss
Clara Ilerold. The exercises for
the evening closed with n dance
continuning until 12 o'clock,
Saturday evening those so in
clined participated in a dance.
Probably the largest attendance
and the most interesting session
was hal last evening, lne audi
ence was first entertained by the
presentation of a ui'Hiim, partici
pated in by members of the vcieul.
At the conclusion of the dramatic
entertainment, the prize drawings,
previously provided for, were con
ducted. There were seventy-one
prizes each to be drawn by the
holder of an admission ticket whose
number corresponded with the
numberby which the prize was des
ignated. The value of the prizes
ranged from $15 down, among
which was a fine rocking chair do
nated by Henry Hocck drawn by
I'liilip Thierof; also one donated by
J. I Unruh drawn by Joe W'url.
Followinr the drawing the exer
cises concluded with a voting upon
the question as to who was the
most popular young lady. The
candidates were Anna Guthman
snd Lena Schrader. The contest
wan spirited, resulting in n tie vote,
up to within the moment the vot
ing was checked, when the friends
of the former cast u large piumbcr
of votes giving her a majority of
forty.
The verien will net the neat little
sum of J27r which will be judicious
ly expended. The fairs will prob
ably be held annually hereafter.
Paaaed Away,
CAKK'iE Vabh, was born in I'latts
mouth November 24, 1872, died in
Denver December 21 1HIU, Age 1U
years, 1 moutii ana i days.
A telegram was received in this
city yenlerday from Denver convey
ing the ad intelligence that Carrie
Vass hail peacefully passed nway.
The deceased has been afflicted
with consumption for several
months, and her parents concluded
to take her to Denver, cherishing
the hope that the change of cli
mate would tend to recuperate her
failing strength. It was not thought
that the end was so near but the past
few days she failed so rapidly that
all human ai l loving hands could
render availed nothing.
The deceased was one of Ihc most
highly respected and esteemed
young ladies in the community and
her many friends will sincerely de
plore her demise. She finished the
course of study in the city schools
graduating with the clans of 'H!l.
Indications at that time pointed to
a long life of usefulness, but ere the
time came for garnering the fruits
the lingering yet fatal disease had
obtained a firm hold.
The remains will arrive in this
city to -morrow. The funeral will
occur at the residence of her pa

A Peculiar Case.
The controversy between L. G
Todd and the Missouri I'acific Is
assuming peculiar aspect, .with
the probability that it will not be
settled this term of court. Upon
the announcement of the decision
last Wednesday the attorneys for
the defendant expressed dissatis
faction with the verdict and moved
for a new trial, which was promptly
overruled bv Indue Hall. The
attorneys for the defendant then
filed exceptions to his instructions
and gave notice that the case
would be carried to a higher court.
Mr. Wooley, in lehalf of the plaint
iff, stated that h' (lid not believe
Mr. Todd woul j object to having
the cane tried again. The court nd
journed and upon reconvening
Saturday Mr. Wooley filed hU ex
ceptions, which proved to be
voluminous in the extreme, indi
cating that it is the plaintiff that is
experiencing the greater dis
satisfaction with the verdict
It is indeed remarkable that each of
lbs parties in the suit should bedin
satisfied with the verdict, but this
case appear to be an exception to
the general rule.
Lodyxl In Jail.
Two nard looking individuals
were brought from Weeping Vater
3 morning and lodged in the
county jail on a charge of highway
robbery. It appears that last eve
ning the accused attacked a hard
working, inoffensive Swede, an ear
ployec of the rock quarries near
Weeping Water, striking him with
car pin, rendering him insensible.
The bandits secured but a few dollars.
The preliminary examination was
held at Weeping Water, at which
positive evidence as to the guilt of
the accused was introduced. They
were bound over to the next term of
the district court.

tht Tearher Conatantly Wntolied Both
It aud tua MI:IiItou Toutb.
Nicholas Church, one of the oldest
bntiters in the Poeono mountains, said
to the writer the other day: "Sixty-six
years ugo I went to school to AlexanJ';r
Diinluir in a little log school bonne down
in the Pocono valley, near where Tan
nersville now is. An odd character
Dunbar was. lie stood over six fet in
his socks, he was lean as a crane and he
could run like a deer. He ul ways kept
a loaded riflo standing by his chair in
tiio school house. A few yaHs tip the
rotvl there whs a runway where deer
crossed the creek. During school hours
Dunbar always seemed to have one eye
on the runway. He was crazy for hunt
Inu, and whenever he saw a deer dash
across the road or heard a hound baying
in the woods he appeared to forget all
about his school for the time being.
Without saying a word to any of the
scholuM he would grab his rifle, rush
out of the house bareheaded and away
he'd go after the deer, like an Indian.
Sometimes we would see him coming
back hi less than an hour with a buck or
a doe ilung over his shoulder, and then
again maybe we wouldn't see anything
of him till the next morning. Dunbar
always got a deer if he had to stay on
the trail till dark. While ho was off on
one of his exciting bunts the children
gunerully staid in the little house and
had a Efe.it t.'lay spell. When it was
time to go home, if Dunbar didn't make
his appearance, we dismissed ourselves.
After a while some of the parents found
out how Dunbar was neglecting bis
school, and they hanled him over the
coals for it Ihit they couldn t break
Dunbar of hie mania for chasing deer.
Nothing conld, and after that Duubar
told one of the big boys to take charge
of the school when he dashed out with
his gun.
A HARROW ESCAPE.
"One day Dunbar had a terrible fight
with a wounded buck on Pocono creek.
Ue came within an ace of losing his life,
bnt he wai just aa crazy to chase deer
after that as he was before. I'll show
you what kept Dunbar from being killed,"
continued Mr. Church, and be brought
out an old bent and rusty rifle barrel that
had once sent bullets flying after game
from a flintlock. "Dunbar's gun was ont
of kilter," resumed the old hunter, "and
I took this rifle to the school house for
him to una. It belonged to my father,
imA Dunbar rot a chance to us U before
night. That afternoon he saw a buck
trot down the runway, and be seized the
rifle and gave chase. The buck was tak
ing it easy, and the longlegged school
master banged away at him near the
creek. Th? buck plunvd forward and
plowed in the snow and Uunbar ran np
to cut his throat Just as Dunbar got to
him the bnck ronned up and pitched at
him savagely. Ho had been shot through
the nose, and he was as full of fight as a
wounded panther. There was no charge
in the rifle, and Dunbar dmpjied his
knife and weut to beating the angry
buck off with the gun. IIu sxm broke
stock aud then he fonght the buck with
the barrel, bending it iu thu filitas you
see it now. Every time the buck pitched
at him Duubar knocked a spike from his
antlers, and when il was all over Dunbar
had t'iinined every spike from his horns.
Ue finally stunned the buck long enough
to cut his throat, ami when he lugged
tha buck to the school houne he was the
raggedi-nt schoolmaster I ever saw, for
the game animal had torn his homespun
suit into slriiMi with his sa;irp hoof.
Dimliar declared that he enjoyed the
fi'ht ami was remly for another of the
same sort
SCHOLARS UKKD IiCNIIAR.
hvcry other Saturday there was no
school, and Dunbar took tho whole day
for hunting. lie got in the habit of
coaxing a tame buck that belonged to my
folks to follow him into the woods when
bo went after dour. Tho buck soon got
so that he was tickled to go with the
schoolmaster, and before long ho formed
the habit of waudering away from Dun
bar, making friend with wild deer and
(sailing them around where Dunbar
oould get shots at them. Dunbar thought
the trick was very cunning, and so did
we boys, but my father didn't think so
V hen ho Ion ml out what Uunbar was
doing with the buck he put a stop to the
fun by fastening the buck in a pen when'
ever Dunbar had a holiday. While 1
think about it I'll tell you what an in
genious way Dunbar had to stop whaler
ing in the school. lie had a yarn ball
ami every time ho caught one of ua
whispering he threw tho ball at the whit
perer, hitting him or her. The scholar
that was hit had to stand in the middle
of the room with the ball and throw it
at the first onu he caught whispering,
and so on all day. e liked tho way
Dunbar tried to keep a ilill school."

. A qioaa Call.
The following from the Nebraska
City Press tells of a narrow escnpe
from death Dr. Wntsnn, experienced
Hst week:
"The doctor, in company with his
colored driver, was making liis
usual rounds. The colored man
was driving. They were driving
aiu.-.n Fourteenth street, when all of
a sudden one of the horses took it
into his head to get gay, nnd began
kicking. Of course this frightened
the other horse and they started to
run nway, one of the animals hav
ingby this time managed to place
himself ustiide the buggy pole.
The driver held on to the fcina and
kept the horses from running. Dr,
Watson concluded to jump out of
the buggy and get nt their head.
In jumping out, however, lie was
struck by the buggy ton and
thrown forward on to the double
tree in such a manner that he was
unable to extricate himself. The
horses continued their foolishness,
regardleea of the doctor's predicn
ment, nnd finally succeeded is dis
lodging him. He fell uuder the
IuKfjy nn(I both wheels passed
over liis body. The horses were
quited, however, nfter they had
smashed up the buggy consider
ably, the doctor picked himself up,
and continued his journey to look
after his patients.
"T. K." QuartntUs.
An audience composed of the
finest people of the city assembled
atGermania Hall Thursday ,night,
to applaud the "T. K." We say np'
plaud, for every member mi the'
progrnmme except one was encored
by the most appreciative audience
ever nssembled in Germania Hall.
The Quartette in their singing re
minds one of a grand organ, so
beautifully do their voices blend,
nothing could be finer. An ad
dition will have to be built to our
Opera House to hold the audience
that will greet the "T. K." when
they return. Mr. Duncan'u voice
was phenomenal. Mr. Hollmun's
singing of "My LitthjVVoinan,"lde-
served even more than the
thunderous applause it met witlr.
lie possesses the finest bass voice
It baa ever been our pleasure to
hear. The "T. K.'s" have won the
hearts of the Illair people, nnd will
receive an ovation should return.
A rare aiusical treat is in store
for thoHe who intend hearing the
"I. K.'u' at the Wuternian next
Tuesday night.
The regular meeting of the
Lndiea' Aid society of the M. E.
church will be held to-morrow
