"She Stoops to Conquer."
Tho class of '03 presented its class
play at tho opera house Wednesday
night to a largo and appreciative audi
ence. Tho play selected for tho occa
sion was Oliver Goldsmith's comedy,
"She Stoops to Conquer," and tho
members of the class acquitted them
selves iu a very creditable manner.
The euti rtuiumout opened with a
prologue by Miss Blanche Pope, vale
dictorian of tho class, iu which she
gavo an interesting sketch of tho life
of Goldsmith Thu intermissions bo
tweon tho acts wore tilled with humor
ous sketches of tho members of tho
class of '0(5, illustrated with crayon
cartoons by Miss Pope, among tho
bjst of which were tho snap-shot of
Miss Ethol (Jarber by moonlight;
Herbort Plumb botanizing, wearing a
suubonuet and carrying an umbrella
to protect, ntmsoii trout tho sun s rays
that ho might not becomo freckled;
aud Miss Prances Nesbitt, "just be
foro tho last boll rings," iu tho act of
washing dishes with a garden hose.
M iss Pope's cartoons wero well drawn
and highly appreciated.
"She Stoops to Conquer" is a play
familiar to all theatergoers aud
abounds in puro comedy. Tho pre
sentation Wednesday night was above
tho average given by barnstorming
theatrical companies ami speaks well
for those who had the direction of tho
play. To give a detailed account of
tho various charactors and do justice
to those who took part would requlro
more time and spaco than wo are ablo
to give. The costuming was splendid
and in ono or two of tho scones it was
plainly evident that the young ladies
and gentleman had had similar experi
ences olf tho stage.

Wanted Pay for "Breaking Heifers.
Mrs. Jano Blanko brought suit iu
Judge Koonoy's court against Elias
Goblo for tho recovery of $75 alleged
to be duo her as wages. It seems that
Mr. Goblo hired Fred Blanko to work
on his ranch, furnishing him a house
iu which to livo aud giviug him other
privileges, besides paying him 20 a
month for his services Mrs. Blanko
claimed that Goblo entered into a con
tract with hof to milk his cows, for
which service she was to receive half
of tho product. Iu her petition Mrs.
Blanko alleges that on October 20,
1004, she began her duties as milkmaid
to Ellas' cows. But, alas! suo soon
discovered tho alleged cows woro only
wild and untamod heifers; tho milk
thoygavo was very scaut and would
not pay for tho milkiug. Jano wanted
to throw up hor job, but Elias por
suadod hor to continue hor efforts to
extract milk from tho bovinos. This
contluuod until tho 2."ith of December,
whou Ellas "rang in" another bunch of
eight cows, making sixteen in all for
tho overworked milkmaid to attend to
But sho soon discovered that thoso
cows would give no moro milk than
the hoifors. By receiving promises of
remuneration, sho alleges, sho was in
duced to continue In hor position
until tho 19th of Jauuary, A. I.100T.
In addition to milking sixteen milk
loss cows, Jano pumped water, chop
pod feed, otc , for thirty-four head of
stock. For all of which services Jano
askod tho court to mulct Elias of tho
sum of $75.
Tho Other Sido Elias denied all tho
allegations of plaintiff as to contract
with Jauo, alleging that tho milking
was part of tho work which should
should havo boon performed by Frod,
and introduced depositions to provo
it; that tho wages received by Fred
was ample remuneration for till tho
woro dono by tho Blankos.
Judge Keoney thought so, too, and
decided in favor of Elias, and Jano
'gets "stuck" for $2150 costs in addi
tion to losing tho boventy-tivo plunks
sho sued for.
Larfte Gall, Small Soul.
In last week's issue tho Rod Cloud
Argus gives an exhibition of super
abundance of gall and microscopic
soul that is seldom equalled in the
uowspapor business. Being short of
something with which to 1111 its col
umn, tho Argus oditor hunted up a
copy of tho ilrst issue of Tiik Ciiikk,
printed July .1, 187.'!, aud by reproduc
ing tho news items and giving descrip
tions of tho advertisotnouta contalnod
in tho paper succeeded in squeezing
out about three columns of reading
matter for its first page.
This stuff was run under tho "First
Paper in the County. Tho Following
Extracts Woro Taken from tho First
Paper Printod in Webster County.
Issued on Thursday, July .1, 1873."
Now, wo do not object to tho Argus
using Tiik Ciukk files in its search for
something with which to ontortain its
readers, but wo do boliovo it Bhould
havo tho decency and courtesy to give
this papor credit for tho information
gleaned from its column In tho
article roforrod to there is not ono
word to indicate from what papor tho
matter was taken, aud readers of tho
Argus who are not acquainted with
tho history of tho newspaper business
iu this county, would naturally bo
misled Into tho belief that tho Argus
was the first paper publishod iu the
county.
It is doubtful if such smallness of
soul and absence of common courtesy
to a contemporary could bo found in
any newspaper of lice in Nebraska out
side the Red Cloud Argus' four walls.
