Katie Putnam
In her new play, "The Little Mav-
erick," is given an ample oppor-
! tunity to show her remarkable
; talents. Miss Putnam avails her-
! self of this opportunity, and in the
title-role, which greatly resembles
that of Bessie in "A Texas Steer,"
she affects an audience to demon-
strative laughter by her method of
simulating illiteracy. She is the
wild, untamed damsel from the
Lone Star state, and when she
finds herself in swell society, she
shocks people by her unconven-
tional manners. She is surround-
ed by a good company. Lew Hart
is clever as Peter Bunker of Texas,
who rounds np the capitals of
Europe, and Gus Cohen shows
himself to lie proficient comedian
in the character of Hans Strauss.
Songs and dances are interspersed
throughout the play, and the ac-
tion is lively from beginning to
end.

Meeting of the Dads Yes-
terday at Which Good
Work Was Done.
The city council met yesterday
lorning. Every member except
the mayor was present. Mayor
pro tem Mitchell presided.
The council got to work and
soon had the artesian well project
under way. *
Alderman Hulen. chairman of
the finance committee, made the
following report:
To the Honorable City Council,
Gainesville. Tex.
''We, the finance committee, to
whom was referred the question of
issuing bonds to get money to sink
an artesian well, would report that
the city can issue bonds if neces-
sary, to the amount of $15,000."
After considerable discussion
Mr. Hulen offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, that the finance com-
mittee be and they are hereby in-
structed to prepare an ordinance
to issue $10,000 of bonds, of de-
nominations of $1000 each, to be
known as water supply bonds,
said bonds to be due in fifty years
with an option of ten years and to
draw 5 per cent interest, payable
semi-annually.
It was carried unanimously.
George A. Boughton of Dallas
and W.S. Marshall of Fort Worth,
both experienced well contractors,
were present and being called
upon gave some interesting infor-
mation about the business.
At the suggestion of Captain
Schoppmeyer these gentlemen
made an appointment to confer
with the water committee at 2
p. m.
County Commissioner McClure
was present and the question of
^ridging Elm was sprung. He
informed the council that the
county would build the bridge if
the city would place a site under
the jurisdiction of the county.
It is probable that the council
will take action to that effect next
meeting.

Struck With a Poker.
Yesterday about noon Bob Da-
vis, colored, a porter in DeBerry's
saloon struck Jim Packingham, or
Jim Gioner, as he is sometimes
called, with an iron poker. What
the negroes quarreled about we
could not learn, but it is probable
that by this time we have one dead
nigger and another one a fugitive
from justice. Packingham's jaw
was broken and it is said that his
skull was also fractured. He is
dangerously hurt. Davis fled and
has not yet been captured.

Katie Putnam
Is called by the press and public
"The Peerless Little Protean
Star." The crowded houses and
highly appreciative audiences that
nightly greet the talented artiste
wherever she appears is a gratify-
ing acknowledgment of the little
lady's charming merits. So those
in search of pure, refined fun and
pleasure will find it to their ad-
vantage to attend her perform-
ances. Of her acting the eastern
and western press voice but one
congratulatory sentiment, and such
papers as the New York Herald,
the Washington Republican, the
i Chicago Inter Ocean and the Bos-
! ton Sunday times have lauded her
; artistic character delineations as
being marvelously attractive. She
, betokens a wonderful genius as a
singer and her entertainments are

Will appear at the opera house
tonight in "The Little Maverick."
The merry little comedienne, Miss
Putnam, has found a play at once
interesting, bright and eminently
adapted to her especiel talent.
While the story it tells is far from
new and gradual development of
the plot is drawn in the same old
lines, still the dialogue is so
breezy and the characters so
bright that "The Little Maverick"
forms a very entertaining play.
Miss Putnam, the star of the
organization, is a happy little crea-
ture with a sweet little speaking
voice, who "trips the light fan-
tastic" in an airy, graceful man-
ner and can, when necessity com-
pels, warble a little ditty. Her
support, judged from the stand-
point of the star-supporting com-
pany, is far above the average.

"Disfigured for Life"
Was the despairing cry of a fellow
with a red nose. Of course he
didn't drink his whisky at Ed
Coopmam's, where he could get the
best quality.
H. G. Bohny is down again with
rheumatism.
The churches were crowded with
worshippers yesterday.
The norther is a reminder that
this is the season for winter.
The gutters were flushed yester-
day for the first time in many
weeks.
It is reassuring to see the water
pouring over the dam at the water
works.
The commissioners' court will
bridge Elm if the city will get out
of the way.
S. D. Roberts and Miss Mabel
H. Howeth were licensed to marry
yesterday.
Fort Worth paid $22,000 for her
first artesian well. It was 3590
feet deep, and was bored to see
what was there.
Don't be uneasy about the city
council not boring the well. When
the city "dads" get their blood up
they mean business.
The negroes are making pro-
gress in civilization. Yesterday's
performance in one of our saloons
would have done credit to a white
tough.
The sociable that has been ad-
vertised for Friday evening at Mr.
Newcomb Stevens' will take place
Thursday evening. A cordial in-
vitation is extended to all friends.
Col. J. P. Sanford will lecture
at the high school building Friday
night, Jan. 26, under auspices of
the Y. M. C. A. Admission 75
cents. Seats on sale at Hickson's
Thursday.
R. L. Belsher, brother of Capt.
T. C. Belsher, died at Whitesboro
Friday night and was buried
Saturday. Mr. Belsher was an
honored citizen of that place and
his loss will be deeply felt.
R. E. Gibbons sends saddles to
fourteen different states and terri-
tories. His trade in transient or-
ders each year amounts to more
than $3000. But few houses in
the Union can equal his saddles.
There is no danger of a duel be-
tween the county commissioner
and the alderman. Both are level-
headed business men and soon cool
down. Their little spat will not
disrupt the city or county govern-
ment.
