A LETTER FROM BILL NYE. THE KANSAS STAR. Ieiptl Notice. First publication January 3, 1891. In the District court of Sedgwick county, Kansas.

ADDITIONAL SOCIAL The exercises at the high school Friday afternoon were conducted by this society and were very interesting. The recitation by Ada Clifford was especially good, with a little higher tone of voice she would excell. Her gestures are very graceful, anunciation good. The essays were well written, particularly on the part of the girls. 1 he boys, as is characteristic, take the shortest cut to perform their duty.

The Iris by Mary Burd was well edited and read'. The Vocal solo by ollie Ross deserves special mention. All the instrumental solos were good, as was the guitar solo by Nellie Browell. The following is the program: Song School. Essay "Our debt to Our Country," Grace Young.

Essay "A Boys Trials, Err.il A MIDNIGHT MURDER. Cammeleo L-uppes, a Mexican Toiuala Vender, Murders Joe Dodson. Wichita has been so free from murders and suicides for some time that her reputation in this connection was becoming quite enviable. It remained, however, for a drunken Mexican to break the record and with it, probably his neck, as the murder was a cold-blooded one which cannot be palliated by any of the surrounding circumstances. As near as can be ascertained, the murderer, Cammeleo Luppes, -whose high Mexican hat and tomala outfit made him a well-known figure on our streets for the past year or two, got through his work after midnight on 1 onday, but instead of going into his own house ho went into that of a colored family named Allien living next door.

Mr. Allen is not at homo and his wife being alone, Luppes is said to have made improper advances to her, which she rejected. The woman ran out of the house in her night clothes and into the house of Joe Dodson, a colored man, for protection, where she jumped into the bed occupied by the former and his wife, thinking herself safe there. The Mexican, however, enraged to desperation at the thought of being baffled, followed the woman into the houso and after she had jumped into Dodson's bed, attacked all three with a murderous knife. Dodson received a cut just below the heart, which produced death the next day, and Mrs.

Dodson received a bad stab in the right 4 witmout a Diusn.

In the mean time adhere strictly to the principles of our exalted order and keep your scalps dry. ours a quandary, Bill i he letter wa3 greeted with a con tinued round of applause and a vote of thanks tendered r. Nye for his words of wisdom and encouragement.

It was also moved to preserve his letter among the arehieves of the club. Cash Henderson made application to join the club as a bald-head from Skow-hegan, having a withdrawal card from ti! at club Although the card was rec uiariy signed ana naa tne seal impressed upon it, it was out of date and, as Chairman Hatton put it, "outlawed." Henderson, however, planked down sufficient cash to call for re-mstatement and the secretary was instructed to communicate with the Skowhegan club and give Henderson the benefit of ail and any doubts. Chas. Shaffer, of J. R.

Brown's cler ical force, sent in his application accompanied by tho usual fee and a prospectus of the Topolobampo colony in Mexico and the Sinaloa Investment company. His intention was to catch a sucker or two so as to reimburse him for his initiation fee, but the scheme failed to work. Dr. George C. Perdue remarked that it was a sin to lower the fraternal feelings of the members by the introduction of socialistic and immi-gratorical literature and moved that an additional commitee of experts be ap pointed to inquire into bhaffer mental condition, and that the regular committee on petitions make its report in conformity with the findings of the ex perts.

The pamphlets were presented to Dr. Snoke to be litter-ally used for propagation purposes. E. B. Walden's application next came up for consideration, action on the same having been postponed for several weeks on account of some irregularity.

J. Fegtley wanted to know whether the applicant was a married man, and on being informed that he was, said there were some things about this case that he failed to understand, as Walden was everywhere regarded on his route as a single man, and he did not believe in admitting as a member to this club any individual wrhose record in this connection was a mere matter of conjecture. Continuing, he said that a year ago and while making a poll of the school children in the city, to be used for statistical purposes, he had found on more than a dozen occasions that when Walden blew his whistle at a house where there was a young lady in the family, the latter would be the only one that was allowed to go out after the mail. Where there were two or moro girls in the family, there would invariably be a row and a scuffle as to who should go out to meet him. But this was not ail.

To his personal knowledge a large number of the married women on Walden's route would never think of going out to get the mail without changing their house dress for a street costume, taking the paper or tin strips out of their hair, using a little powdered corn-starch on their faces or making other visible improvements too numerous to mention. He had even heard it said that several weeks ago when this same letter carrier was taking a vacation, and a substitute taking nis place, nearly half the ladies in tne southern part of the city quit writing letters, stopped.tho newspapers and periodicals they were receiving and made life so miserable for him that he had to resign and begged alden to take the route off his hands again be fore his vacation was more than half over He thought this all looked a little sus- spicious, and as he was in favor of ele vating and constantly improving the moral tone of this soeiefv. he would move to lay Mr. Walden's application on the table until the matter was more fullv investigated. Mr.

A. Gluick arose in an enterpris ing way and with a smile on his face to reply to Fegtley's inuendoes. He had known Mr. E. B.

Walden a number a years. He was a gentieman and a devout Christian. That he good-looking and stood in high favor with the ladies, both married and single, could not be used as the cover for an attack against him. If anything, it was a point in his favor, which was more than could be said of Fegtley. Things had come to a pretty pass in this country if a gentleman's character could be besmirched because he was bald-headed and good-looking, and because the ladies improved their toilettes before going out to see him in order to have a more presentable appearance.

It would be a credit to this club to possess a member so popular with the fair sex. It might be that Fegtley was confounding A. G. with E. B.

Walden, his brother, who is a grass widower, since his wife is away on a European visit. Fegtley was mad on account of the personal allusions to his lack of beauty, and said he would not have anything more to say on the whole confounded business, but that he would vote in accordance to the dictates of his own conscience. The vote on Walden's application was taken. The tellers counted 123 white balls and one black one, and thee announcement of the result was greeted with deafening cheers and a rebel yell that fairly shook the building. Walden will be formally introduced at the next meeting.

Pending an immediate and possibly amicable settlement of the cloture rule the club went into executive session as a committee of the hole in the table with a green baize cloth over it. with a two-cent ante and a ten-cent limit. A man who smokes may as well get the best cigar sold for the price he pays; therefore they should call for Bishop's cigars, they aro the very best sold. 710 Bishop's five cent cigars are equal to most any ten cent cigars Ask ipr them. You pay your money and should have the best for it.

iu request, taas one, wnose nioaestj is as proverbial as mine, cannot fail to grant Tiio King of the Bald Heads Quotes Scrip ture and Sicn. Nero fiddled while Rome was being consumed by the 4 'devouring elements, and the members of the B. H. sat quiet long enough to hear a letter from Bill Nye read at their last night's meetinsr. Bill is recognized every where in this country and in some parts of Indiana where the English language is spoken on the Delsarte plan without accent, as the Nestor of American bald- heads and in consequence his words were hearkened to with more than pass ing interest.

The letter was as fol laws: "Sing-Sing, Jan. 3, 1S91 Hon. O. Bentlv. president Wichita 15 tt C.

Dear Sir and brother bald-heads Your invitation to indite a few lines of encouragement and interest for the benefit of the society of which you have the honor of being the presiding ge nius. strikes me in that particular spot of my elongated anatomy which is Sup's ii iv posed to swell witn me priue ui uneu apple and alkali water arrangement up to a hisrh pitch Speaking: of indit ing reminds me that within the walls of Sinff-Sinar there are a multitude of indiscreet individuals who have been indicted for various offenses against the laws of their country and sound morality I have just paid a short visit to this institution and am not in the right mood for iestine. My visit there might have been prolonged, but the warden was afraid that my unsophisticated countenance would incite rebellion within the walls, and rebellions as you well know, from the late one we were engaged in, come high and may be classed among the delicacies of a gov ernment's bill of fare. But I digress You asked mo to say something about the origin and growth of bald headism and I have wandered into jail and al lowed my thoughts full play with the scenes and recollections oi my younger days. These recollections still cling to me like Romeo clung- to Juliet's neck on the balcony at 5:50 a when the first gray streaks of dawn announced the coming of another day.

The first bald-head we read of in the scripture, was Moses. He had a round about way of getting at things and was beating about the bush at the river edge one day. presumably looking for clams, when he was taken in and done for. While still in the hev-day of his somewhat exhuberant career he devel oped those traits that afterwards gave him a patriarchial standing among the ancient bald-heads of Egypt. The question has often been asked, "Where was oses when the light rent out?" Having made the solution of this enigma a part of ray late visit to the holy land and the object of several days research among the papyrus and parchments of the ancient my thologists, I am prepared to state that when the electric light fizzled Moses was in the green room sticking brass pins into the legs of the coryphees in order to see the sawdust ooze out.

But that's neither here nor there. I havo only made mention of it to show you that in his early days oses was an adept in those artifices that are the fore-runners of a shining pate and a front row privilege. Balaam is the next man man spoken of in scripture as an individual whose forehead extended over the greater part of his cranium and whose hair commenced on the back of his neck and ran down his vertbrrc cn an inclined plane. Balaam was a very eccentric sort of individual and if alive to-day, would no doubt be a devout member of tho Farmer's alliance. He had some very backward tendencies in cpnnec- tion with his equestrian evolutions and was very assiduous in his endeavors to get pensioned.

He finally succeeded in obtaining 160 acres of land and a mule, and settled down on it (on the land) for ths balance of his natural days. There were several other prominent and wealthy hairless prophets and Is-raelitish antiquitarians in those days, but time, space and a pam the re gion of the seventh rib, compel mo to be brief. Cominc? down to modern times, we tower so high above the bald-heads old as to make comparison ratner em- barrasing to the aforesaid. We are so ar above them in everything, including Mother Earth, that the mantle of char ity will havo to be dropped where the poor houso commissioners will get a chance to squeeze some fees out of it. When 1 visitod your citv on mv an nual farewell tour, some two years since, was struck with several things, too numerous to mention, one or which being the salubrious climate and another the absence of hair in your boarding house hash.

From this I inferred that tho chef de cuisines of the various hostler ies were of the male persuasion and ront-row members of your valuable SOCiutv. Another peculiar thing that I noticed about your city was the fact that the sewers run up hill and the packing houses were located in the northern part of tho town where the gentle breezes wafted the concentrated porcine essense down to the elite settlements and, mingling with the odoriferous ozone hanging over Five Jr'oints, was again transported back to its point of em barkation by the southerly winds, which have attained quite a reputation in your section of the country for intrud ing rather suddenly on good nature and the inhabitants, without going through the formalities of a social introduction. I also learned during my stay in your city, that none of your councilmen were ever lynched for the interest they dis- an unpardonable breach of western etiquette that can hardly be condoned, and I was very sorry to hear of this state of affairs- An extended acquaintance with aldermen and their habits leads me to remark that half a dozen of them strung up on lamp posts at stated intervals has a very salutary effect upon the community in which you are supposed to reside and pay taxes. Chicago has a peculiar habit of sending her aldermen to Joliet, a custom practiced a good deal during the past few yeara with beneficient results. Your urgent invitation to givo you a brief synopsis of myself, strikesmo as a Franklin R.
