CONCERT AND BALL. OVERCOME BY GAS. Mrs, Carroll, of Ogaliala, Has a Nar- row Escape From Death, Mrs, Carroll, of Ogallola, a sister-in-law of Mrs. W. A. Paxton, arrived in the city late Thursday night and went at once to the Paxton residence, She wade herself known w the servants, and at once retired. Mr. and Mrs, Paxton were away from home, beiug in.Chicago on & visit. Early Friday morning the servants noticed a strong smell of gas and soon traced it to the room occu- pied by Mrs. Carroll. When the room was entered the gas was found turned on and Mrs, Carroll was lying in bed unconscious. A physician was at once summoned ana worked unceasingly, but at a Jate hour last night bad not succceded in restoring her to consciousness. Mrs, Carroll is about seventy years old, and, although possessed of sound lungs and a strong constitution, it 1s feared the brain has been seriously affected and the prospect for recovery is 1ot Gncouraging. One of the servants states that Mre. Car- roll looked pale and ill when she arrived and complained of not feeling well. A lady in the neighborhood noticed a light in the room occupied by Mrs. Carroll about 2 0'clock Friday morning, and it is thought she was taken sick during the night and lit the gas. When ghe turned it off she must have thoughtlessly turned it partly on again, as it was found turned on, Mr. and Mrs. Paxton returned home yes- terday noon, and are doing everything in their power to aid in Mrs, Carroll's recovory.

The sale of “Little Lord Fountleroy" has already brought her $20,000 and for months the dramutic right to the play increased her bank account from 1,000 to 82,000 a wee The profits of “*Sara Crewe” to date are something over 811, 000, She has a $15,000 contract with sowe New York publishers to write a story for their weekly paper, and nlso has at her disposal an’ offer of $10,000 for a grown-up *Lord Fountleroy.” ' So it will be seen that this remarkable woman has little cause to complain of the appreciation in which she is held by the public. After Mrs. Burnett, A, C. Guoter, in the last year or so, has probably earued more by his pen than any other American writer. Not long ago he suid that he had made from “*Mr in @®EneN Musee @ ZGORAI™AND FARNAMST: avITIIH t M, I, Chur-h, 1711 Davenport Street. DiferentProgrameach Evening.

Now that corn is abundant in the west, much of it will be wasted by ca less feedsng.
