Emma Leland has already become a great favorite in our city by her personation of other characters, but as "Camille" she almost surpassed herself last night.

Many in the audience were moved to tears, her acting seemed so real aud true to nature. The play throughout is very emotional, and the other actors sustained their parts admirably. The burlesque comedy "Engaged" was produced at the matinee this afternoon in as excellent style as on Wednesday evening. The company give their last performance to night, and have chosen for the occasion that popular comedy "Our Boys." As it is quite probable now, that they will not be here in December, the should not miss this last chance to see and hear this excellent company. Reserved seats at J.

P. Ross' ticket office. Mrs. Wesley Duncan. Although not unexpected, the news of Mrs.

Duncan's death yesterday afternoon, was received with sadness by her many friends. Mrs. Elizabeth Duncan was born in Kentucky in 1837, and there spent her youth. She removed with her father's family to Johnson county, Missouri, and there married Wesley Duncan, in May, 1854. They came to Lawrence in May, 1855.

She united herself with the Methodist church shortly after its establishment here, and always entered heartily into every project which promised good to the church and community. Through all the trying times in Lawrence, she has been a consistent christian, a fond wife, a good mother, and a friend to the needy. The family removed to California in 1868, and lost a bright daughter on the journey. Her busband and four children survive herone son thirty years old, one daughter seventeen years old, a son seven years old and a babe about two years old. Mrs.

Duncan had two sisters living, Mrs. Charles Duncan, of this city, and Mrs. Gebhart, who lives in the western part of the state. The funeral will be held at two o'clock to-morrow afternoon from the late residence of the deceased, west of the city. All friends of the family are invited to attend.

of. evergreens and streamers with the word "Welcome" in large letters across the center. A gram of the Young Mens' Social club also appears. Stores all along on both sides of Massachusetts street were gaily decorated with. flags and bunting, and the street was thronged with people.

Farmers from miles around were here, eager to get a sighit of our distinguished visitor. As the whistle of the approaching train was heard twenty salutes were fired from the "Old Sacramento" and the howitzer. The procession was very long and the president Wa8 greeted by cheer after cheer as he passed. The procession stopped at the Ludington House and Mr. Hayes addressed a few words to the assembled multitude from the balcony.

General also addressed a few words to them, and Mis. Hayes appeared in answer to loud calls. The procession then reformed and proceeded to the University. Three cheers were given for the President as the party' entered University hall, also three cheers for Gen. Sherman and three for Mrs.

Hayes. Judge O. A. Bassett annouuced that Dr. Marvin would preside.

Mr. T. D. Thacher made a short welcoming address, and President Hayes was then introduced. He spoke of the enthusiastic welcome he had received at every station in Kansas, and said he was glad to be here on this historic spot before leaving the State.

General Sherman spoke of the civil war and the liberation of the slaves, and thought the battle began here beyond a question.
