Monument Dedication Postponed.
At a moptintf held by a number of tho
citizens of Hennessey at tho city hall
Monday night to arrange ceremonies for
the unveiling of tho Hoy V. Cashion
monument, recently erected, it was de-
cided to postpone the unveiling or dedi-
cation of tho monument until next
Decoration day.
Monday night's meeting was called to
order by Fred Elder. W. 1*. GrilTin was
elected chairman and Hot. Keniston,
secretary. Mr. Uriftln called for sug-
gestions regarding the ceremonies. H.
L. Miles in order to get the question be-
fore the house for discussion moved that
the meeting proceed to approve the date
(October Ti) which had previously been
selected as the time to unveil tho mon-
ument. The motion was seconded by
J., .1. Jiickford. A general discussion
was then had, E. M. Haruum, 11. I,.
Miles, F. S. Cashion, \V. 1*. GrilHn, J.
E. Hutchinson, L. J. Bickford, J. J.
Lyons, <i. N. Keniston, Fred Khler and
others taking part. It was the opinion
of all presont that, owing to the time of
year when all the farmers are busy with
their fall work, and the people generally
more or less interested in politics and
other tilings, it would be advisable to
postpone the dedication ceremonies un-
til Decoration day. It was argued that
Decoration day being a day when all
the people take more interest in such
things, and a ti mo when everybody can
be present at tho ceremonies that a bet-
ter attendance could be had then than
now. A motion finally carried to post-
pone tho matter, after which the meet-
ing adjourned.

Bros. Famous Shows have been tho
leading trained animal exhibition of the
country, and this year finds the show
twice its formor size. A double herd of
performing animals is carried, to say
nothing of a half dozen or more novel
acts which are entirely now in shows of
this character. Gentry Bros, exhibi-
tions have lone been patronized and en-
dorsed by tho elite of the land, and after
many engagements in this city their
visits should bo a grand success, as all
former ones have been. The date of ex-
hibition is announced lor Thursday

Opera Season Opened by Mahara's Minstrels.
Mahara's minstrels opened the opera
season in Hennessey Tuesday night,
with,a full house. Mahara's is one of
the very best minstrel aggregation's on
the road, and their show here was first-
class, and gave univeral satisfaction.
The band is as good or better than any
that has ever been in this city, and the
street parade Tuesday altornoon drew
a largo crowd who stood on tho corner
of Oklahoma avenue ami Main street
and listened to tho music. If all the at-
tractions at the opera house this season
give as good satisfaction as did Mahara's
minstrels, some good attractions will bo
seen hero this winter.

Bojs Have Defaced the Monument
A tfangof worthless boys, with noth-
ing better to employ their time on the
Sabbath day, went to the Hoy Cashion
monument last Sunday afternoon, and
amused themselves by climbing around
over ihe lower part of tho monument.
They broke the bottom oil" the stirrup
on t fie carving on the west side of the
memorial shaft and otherwise defaced
the stone at the base by scratching it
with tho heels of their shoes. The
broken piece of the stirrup was picked
up bv \V. O. Armantrout, who saw the
boys leaving the place after committing
the devilment. Mr. Armantrout did not
recognize tho boys, as they ran when
they saw him coming, and it is not
known who they were. There were sev-
eral of theni, ami they wore climbing on
tho monument when frst noticed. One
of them put his foot into tho stirrup,
and his weight broke it oir. Tho broken
piece was Secured by Mr. Armantrout,
and it can perhaps bo cemented on
again, but tho defacement will always
be noticeable.
The defacement of the Hoy Cashion
monument is one of the meanest and
most wanton pieces of vandalism that
has ever come to our notice, and tho
boys who committed the act should be
severely dealt with, if their identity can
be discovered. It is a disgrace to the
community to have such boys running
at large, and their action is deplored by
every one. These boys are not mere
children, but aro old enough to know
better than to commit an outrage of
this kind. If they can be caught, a les-
son should be administered to them
that they will not soon forget.
A four-strand barb wire fence has
been placed around the monument, anil
it is sincerely hoped that this will be
sufficient to keep the monument from
being defaced any more.
