the title of the new production
which will be introduced to our theater-goers by that clover German comedian and sweet siuger, Karl. Gardener. There is no doubt in the least that this gentleman has made the hit of bis life in his Impersonation of "Herman Leopold" the Tyrolean
guide,
^.s the play is
considerably above the ordinary run of drama* presented nowadays, It would not be amis* to Rive in brief detail a short outline of the plot: In the first act we find Leopold's Alphine home. It is a "festag" (festive) day, and the villagers bave come to do him houor for bis heroic conduct during the recent floods in the Tyrol, the audience gaining here a glimpse of the love which the mouutain boy has for a certain pretty one named Rhoda, after which the net closes with a beautiful ending. Act second is all Hallowe'en night at Herman's heme, and here is introduced the old-fashioned German spinstube scene, or spinuing-bee, with a line Bpianing-wheel chorus. At Music Hail Thursday evening, Feb. 27.
They Gave Satisfaction.
Prof. Hulburt's Hyppocynagon at the Pavilion opera house was well patronized lnt evening. It is truly wonderful how completely the trainer lias command over these dumb animals. The horses and dogs do nearly everything but talk. They march, waltz, form pyramids, behave themselves in general, and please the whole audience. One magnificent fellow even put his nose into a bucket of water and took therefrom a half dollar. Everything that the bills said was done. It is entertaining and it shows what yower the human mind has oyer the brute ereatien and what a kind aud patient trainer can do.—Exchange.

HOWARD BABNETT IN JAIL.
A Former Montgomery County Boy Charged With Attempted Murder. Word reached here this week that Howard Barnett, son of L. W. Barnett, formerly of this vicinity, and grandson of Jacob Mclntyre, was in jail at Danville, III., on a charge of attempting to kill a fanner near there by the name of of James Cornell, on Monday, Feb. 10. The charge is that he attempted to murder Mr. Cornell for his mouey, $45, which he had on his person while on their way home in a wagon from Hoopston. The boy is only fourteen years old. Mr. Mclntyre said that the boy had a sunstroke, which at times unbalances him, aud lie thinks it wa9 during one of these intervals that he perpetrated the deed. The boy in an interview with the Danville
News reporter says: "They say I shot twice at Mr. Cornell, but I never did. I was well acquainted with Mr. Cornell and would not have shot him for anything had I been in my right mind. Immediately after tho shooting Iran north to Hoopston and there seld my gun. I then walked to Wellington and there boarded a freight train going north aud road to Bloomington, where I took the passenger train and road to Chicago where I at once obtained a situation in a bakery. I was there a day when I was arrested, I am sorry, of course, that I did what they say I did, but I am sure no one will think nie guilty ut doing it with intent to kill and rob, when they hear my side of the story. I am more anxious to go to a hospital for treatment than anything else." The case will come up for trial next Wednesday.

Severely Handlod
Considerable excitement among the town people was occasioned last Monday by conflict between rival classes of students in the college buildings. A meeting of the Freshman class was held in the Calliopeau literary hall to make preparation for the 22d which four Juniors made spesches inciting thein to blood curdling deeds. It was soon discovered that Andrews, a Sophomore, had secured a key from those rooming in the bell room and had secreted himself in the belfry where he discovered a part of the Freshman proceedings. Aroused at such a sneaking trick the enraged Freshmen were making it so hot for Andrews that he rung the bell vigorously for help, This not ornly brought out the college faculty aud a large crowd of town people but the fire department also, everyone thinking the build iags were on fire. When AndrewB emerged from the belfry it took the united efforts of Janitor Burke, Dr. Tuttle and Prof. Campbell to save him from the infuriated Freshmen, only two of his cowardly classmates daring to defend him. As it was he received several ugly blows. vi ufr«. A Peculiar

A Peculiar Will.
A will has juBt been admitted to probate under peculiar circumstances. James Hutchison, of Wayne township, made his will March 27, 1882, selecting Austin P. Reynolds and John E. Hanna as witnesses because they were young men and liable to out live him. But, strange to relate, they both died before him and he failed to make a new will. So when he died a week or so ago there wore no witnesses to bring the will into court. It was finally admitted to probate, however, on the affidavits of Robert S. Osborne, who testified that he saw witnesses sign and of James M. Seller and A. B. Cunningham, who swore that the signatures were genuine to the best of their knowledge and belief. James Hutchison was the father of Mrs. McMullen, whose murder was expiated on the gallows by Johu W. Coffey.—Dwily Journal.
He Has Gone.

Tuesday morning he turned over the keys to bis father-in-law, Michael Zellars, to whom he owed §200, hired a team, drove to New Market and took the Vandalia train south. He leaves a wife and two children.

The ball from tho pistol passed through the wiudow and tho stove pipe, then striking Mrs. Randall in the eye. Tuesday morning the unfortunate woman was still alive, hut no hopes of her recovery were entertained. All the family have been summoned to her bedside. No cause whatever is known as to the motive of the murderer.
