DAPTISTJ50LLEGE Lamed Citizens Want New School and Start Campaign. Will Bnild 935,000 Church as Initial More. Larned, Kan.. Feb. 17. Because It Is necessary to build a new church in order to stand a good chance' in the race Kansas towns will run for the proposed $100,000 Baptist college, the Baptists here will build a new $35,000 church building this spring. A large meeting was held in the present church and preliminary plans formulated. The building will cost $25,000, with $10,000 ad ditional expense for furniture and a pipe organ. Except the Ottawa, Kan., university the nearest Baptist college Is at Boli ver. Mo. To the west the closest is Denver. Ottawa university accommo dates eastern Kansas but a college for central and western Kansas and east ern Colorado is badly needed. Lamed Baptists are resolved to make an en thusiastic campaign to get the big school. Baptist church officials are planning to ask each of the 60,000 Baptist churches and 36,000 Baptist ministers In the United States to contribute one dollar towards the iund for the pro-, posed college. The first buildings to be erected will accommodate 1.000 stud ents. This community will be asked to do nate at least 40 acres for the college site and this meeting definitely assured local Baptists they can expect tnis support. Rev. Tom Morrow, local pas tor, stated he has practically com plete assurance of the ability of the church to raise the $35,000 for the new church building here and says work will be started on the structure at an early date.

St. Louis, Feb. 17. That the men who drafted the constitution of the United States were not patriots, but grafters, who made a profit of $40. 000,000 through the .writing of that historic document, was the statement made by Judson King, executive see-, retary of the National Popular Gov ernment Teague, in an address before the City club here. "The theory that the" men who wrote the constitution and obtained its adoption were the unselfish pa triots that history pictures them is not correct," he said."

Tells of Noted Democrat's Tlsit to Emporia. Clyde Knox Says This Is No Time to Dodge. Kansas voters will probably have an other chance to decide the question of Increasing the pay of members of the state legislature. If the plans of several men who expect to sit In the legislature next winter are realised. Several times during the 1913 session the olan for in creasing the per diem of state law matters was discussed, but the Demo crats were busy with their imaginary economy program and anything that trcaea lute more pay for a legislator was discouraged. Some eight years ago the legislature adopted a resolution calling for a con stitutional amendment that would in crease the per diem of members of the legislature from $3 to $5 a day. And right there the legislative members who had preached about the intelligence of the individual voters and the virtues of the Initiative and referendum, re vised their calendars. All knew that the average member of the legis lature found it Impossible to live In To peka on a $3 a day salary. But that constitutional amendment was slaugh tered in a manner that made the law makers sick with disgust. Under the state law a provision for a constitutional amendment cannot be submitted, oftener than once every six years. So the plan for Increased pay (Continued on Page Two.) COLLINS IS HANGED.

(Continued from Page One.) for the state senators and representa tives was kept in cold storage during three sessions, of the legislature. The 1913 legislature could have submitted the amendment n era in. But It was a Democratic legislature. The state nlat- form said something about' reducing of the opposition to adopting a plat the taxes dnmnrd aiul because some form before the primary comes from of the members were inclined to con- slder the platform promises as sacred and binding, the plan to increase the law makers' pay never reached the reading clerk's desk. All of the legislative members were frank to admit that they should have more money. Next winter some of them propose to try to get it for fu ture members. The senate holds over another two years and the light for the increased pay will probably come from that house. Several of the 1913 j representatives will also try to return! to Topeka next winter.

But the added pay Is a long dis tance ahead. Should the amendment be adopted by a two-thirds vote of the two branches of the state legisla ture and later be adopted in the elec tion, it would afford no relief until 1917.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb 16.-The flurry In cattle last Monday began to subside Tuesday, and by the close Wednes day most ot the gain had been lost. Cows, and butcher stuff sold weU all week, and steers of known dressing capacity retain ed a part of their Monday gain, but middle and low grades of steers, de nominated "gamblers" were disappointing actors Stockers and leeaers iwui to 35 cents first of the week, and after vi hma effective the movement to the country was free, 11.000 bead going out, a normal week's business for this season. Receipts today exceed the esti mate, a total supply ot 12.000 head arriv ing. Other markets are well freighted with beef, and the tendency Is toward weakness. An extra law percentage of local supply Is stockers and feeders cat tle from wheat pastures driven In by the storm late last week. This leaves a mod erate number of beef cattle, and sales of same are steady to a shade lower, while stock grades are unevenly lower. Best natives here today brought $8.68, and some 1200 lb. steers from the Northern Colorado sugar beet district sold at $8.20. Best fat cows range from $6.50 to $7.50, bulls within the same range, veal calves a quarter low er, best around $10 35. Receipts of quaran tines, 4 oars, are featured by a string or Old Mexlcos, direct, common little steers at $5.40. Some very good yearlings from wen. also Included, at 37.76. and North Texas meat fed steers around $7.60. Fancy stockers bring up to $7.76, IUh hi. calves a little better than $8, best feeders $7.76. and choice calves a little better than $8. best feeders 87.75. with middle grades showing least strength at $6.50 to $7.25- Hog markets are the scene of continued conflict, with the balance slightly in favor of sellers. Prices everaged 14 cents higher last week than the week previous, although nnnauierablv below the beat time.

HANDICAP COACH Nebraska, Mlssonrl and Kansas Mentors Affected. "Keep Off Side Lines Win Be dace Effectiveness of Teams. Three conspicuous coaches In the Missouri valley conference will be ma- terially affected by the recent rule of the intercollegiate committee which will bar all coaches from the sidelines. Stlehm of Nebraska, Schulte of Mis souri and Mosse of Kansas are known as experts in sideline coaching, al though they have done their work so well that it came within the rules in o far as outward evidence goes. Low man of the Kansas Aggies is less open with his sideline tactics. Griffith of Drake and Williams of Ames are slow to take advantage of the sideline ad vantages as was Brewer of Missouri wnen ne nad complete charge of the football coaching. Edmonds of Wash ington is not known as a heavy Dlunz er in sideline coaching since he has been a mentor in tne Missouri valley conference. As a matter of fact, fully one-half of tile game last season in the Mis souri Valley conference depended upon tne worn oi.ine coacnes tne oay be fore and the day of the game. The mentor, who could best design the plays of his opponents through various sources of information by the way of scouts and who could best direct from the sidelines to meet the new offense, he is the on man of the squad who won most of the game. It is true he had to have a team of eleven men on the field. But it is also true that the rule permitting any man to enter the game in the last quarter gave excellent opportunity for coaches to send their orders to the quarterbacks. Stlehm is known for his marvelous success in the Missouri Valley confer ence, and he is one of the best side line coaches in the valley. Stiehm and his milk bottle excuse for sending a mouth moistener to a player was evi dent to every rooter who saw his team in action. Schulte of Missouri ranks with Steihm in side line tactics. Sev eral times last season players on the opposing teams would protest against the various tricks of Schulte that were evident only to the closest of observ ers. And both of these men made rec ords in Missouri Valley football last season. Mosse has been an artist at it in spite of his mediocre season of last year. And the rule which will bar the coach from the side lines will do little in keeping the mentors from signal ling orders to the players. The only trouble is that these coaches will have to work out a more elaborate code, which can be seen from a greater dis tance. The coach has too much at stake during the game not to make use of every device to direct the quarter back whether he does so from the sidelines or from the bleachers. It Is just as hard a problem to stop sideline coaching as It is to prevent scouting, another Important factor In winning college games. About the only pure way to prevent the coaches from directing the play of their team is to keep them from the field of action. FED9 WANT SPEAKER. Jimmy Callahan Given Authority to Sign Him for Bed Sox. Boston, Feb. 17. Information that the Federal League had sent an agent to Paris to meet the world touring baseball players was followed im mediately Monday by the cabling of a commission to James J. Callahan, manager of the Chicago Americans, to sign up Tris Speaker for the Bos ton Red Sox next season. The tour ists are due in Paris. It was reported that Speaker was one of several play ers the Federal League agent was given authority by the backers of the new organisation to negotiate with. WOLGAST A COME BACK.

MAJOR LEAGUE MAGNATES ARE VERY SORE AT MURPHY; FEDS ARE PLEASED 1 Q

If trXir ft! S--.;. m K 'ill Charles Murphy of the Chicago Cuba. Major league tajrnates are very sore at Charles Murphy, owner of the Chicago Cabs. They regard him as inimical to "the good of the game" and are planning to get him out of organized baseball if pos sible. The Federal leaguers hope Murphy will stick, foi the more un popular he bee mes with the fans the better will be the chances of Fed eral league success in Chicago and elsewhere. JAKE'S JUNK. It develops that this department was misinformed that Phil Koerner was a holdout. Although we announced his signed contract sometime- ago, and in justice to the big first baseman we wish to impress upon the minds of ev erybody that Koerner never was a holdout. The holdout story was caused by the newspapers of Pueblo, who as serted that Koerner has received an offer of $500 a month with the Federals. Koerner did get an offer from the Fed erals but we have no knowledge of the amount of salary offered him. A recent letter from Manager Dale Gear in which he explained the situation, has set us right and also enclosed a recent letter from Koerner. The ex-Wichitan did not mention holdout in this letter but appeared anxious to sign the con tract and go to Denison on the train ing trip. In previous correspondence he had asked Manager Gear for an increase in salary. The financial agree ment between Manager Gear and Koer ner is none of our business and we don't care to know anything about it but we take this chance to show Koerner In the right light so that none of the fans will unjustly criticize him after he reports at Topeka. Koerner. In the letter to Manager Gear which the latter sent us, promises to give his best -services to the Topeka club and he thinks that he will be bet ter this season than ever before. The Kaws, or Manager Gear, as one might take it, appear to have been mighty successful in filling the vacan cy cause by the sale of Polly McLarry. In securing the services of Inflelder Dowd, It appears that this position will be guarded by the recruit fully as well if not better than last y ar. Manager Gear drafted the youngster upon the recommendation of major league scouts who pronounced him to be one of the best In class "B'" company. The local management has received two offers for this youngster but will not sell him, at least not for a while. Both offers came from clubs in the Pacific Coast League, and if these clubs think him good enough the Kaws in one class lower should consider his contract with unusual luck. nis return to the Topeka club even though Louisville allows the call, i other clubs have offered the Topeka ciud more money lor MCLarry tban the price which Louisville paid for him. But at that there is small chance that the Louisville manage' ment will allow him to get from under tneir control. Scheme to Break Up Feds! Wonld Hare Succeeded. To Give Weeghman "A. A." Team In Chicago Planned. New York. Feb. 17. The decision of the Federal league to Invade Brooklyn according to a story cur rent in baseball circles today was made last week after the National commission refused to allow the American association to present to Charles Weeghman of Chicago a fran chise of that league as a peace gift. The story has it that President Thomas Chivington came here with full authority from the American as sociation to give Weeghman a club to be located in Chicago. Chivinvtnn la reported to have said that his organ- U mmawuu woo mi wuium cv locate in Chicago that the Chicago Federal league man could have It free of charge just to coax him away from the opposition.- If this plan had gone through It is stated the Federal league would have gone out of busi ness. Ban Johnson, however, blocked the deal. When the matter was first brought before the American league last Thursday it was kiUed at John son's suggestion. Later in the Na tional commission "Johnson also ruled against it on the ground that it would be an admission of weakness on the part of organized baseball. The St. Paul and Toledo clubs it is said were willing to be transferred. INDOOR TRACK MEET. State University Defeated K. S. A. C. Team by Score of SI, to 24. Lawrence, Kan.. Feb. 17. In the opening dual conference meet of the 1914 track season with the Kansas "Aggies" here Monday night, the Kan sas Jayhawkers triumphed over Coach Merner's "Farmers" 61 to 24. The feature race of the meet was the two-mile between Malcolmson of Kansas and Teeter of the "Aggies." For thirty-five laps Teeter led Mal colmson, the distance between the two runners varying, but sometimes being as much as ten yards. On three dif ferent occasions Malcomson regained his distance and attempted to pass Holland realized that Catlin had I ".SV. J?

FEDERAL With the schedule for 1914 a closed incident and every player on the club's roster signed, the bosses of the Kaw aggregation have nothing to do but sit back and wait for time to col lect the players and go south on the training trip. Manager Gear is the only manager on the circuit who can do this, as all others are having con siderable trouble. Inasmuch as a schedule of 168 games was adopted, it Is probable that signed contracts will be rushed to headquarters In Jig time, as tnis means two weexs more per cent of t)le salary man uic jmjcio wuiu received "had a short schedule been adopted. This two weeks' pay looks good to the players and will be a val uable stimulant to all, even though their contracts have been signed. Jack Coffey, manager of the Denver club, will probably never know how close he was to a season's play under the direction of Dale Gear, and the players of -the Kaw team may never know that they might have played baseball this season under a new manager. Dale Gear was recently offered the position as manager of the Denver club and refused it. He pre ferred to remain with the Kaws for the reason that he has spent two years in building up. a club according to his own ideas and selected to stay at least another year to reap the har vest for his untiring efforts. He has sfgned his Topeka contract before get ting the Denver offer and perhaps it is good luck i for the Topeka team that he did. Manager Dale Gear has what he calls a major league schedule for the Texas training trip. The Kaws will meet teams of the Texas-Oklahoma league, Texas league. Oklahoma State university, teams of both major leagues and of the American Associa tion. A number of games will be play ed on the home lot and two major league teams will appear here. This should enable Manager Gear to get a line on the strength of the aggrega tion before the curtain rises April 16. Tho Wnwa nra not due to return from Texas until April 8, which is Just eight days before the schedule season opens. Under the new ruling of organised baseball, teams can recall drafted players the team which made the Anft htnr allowed to turn the player back at the draft price 'The Topeka management has taken advantage of thin and has nut In a. call for Polly McLarry- There Is small chance for Touring dubs Play and Chicago Won Comlskejr In Paris. Nice, France, Feb. 17. The fine weather today brought a great crowd of baseball enthusiasts, as well as many who had never witnessed a game, to the enclosure where the New York team of the Na tional League and the Chlcagos of the American League gave a fast exhibition of the American national pastime. The Chicagos won, 10. to 7. Americans and foreigners of title so journing in Nice and along the Riverla motored to the game which had been eagerly looked forward to, and the large number of handsomely gowned women among the spectators added to the gaiety of the scene. The French were somewhat puzzled at the intricacies of the play, which they found difficult to understand, but they showed much enthusiasm when the ball was hard hit into the outfield. The American consul, William D. Hunter, tossed the first ball to the Chi cago pitcher. In the fourth Inning the New Yorks scored six runs and Chicago four, but the National Leaguers were un able to keep up the pace. Interesting features were a series of daring evolutions over the field by the Aviator Lacrouse, and an exhibition of throwing the discus and putting the weight by James Thorpe, the Indian ath lete. The teams left here today for Paris, where It is expected they will play on Washington's birthday. Word has been received that Charles Comlskey, president of the Chicago club, has reached Par's. His condition is re ported to be much improved. Ford With Chicago. Chicago, Feb. 17. Announcement has been made at Federal League headquarters that Russell Ford, the former New York American League pitcher, had become the property of the Chicago Federals. It was at first understood he was to play with the Buffalo club. Wolgast and Ritchie Matched. San Francisco, Feb. 17. Willie Ritchie, lightweight champion, signed articles here Monday for a 10-round bout with Ad Wolgast in Milwaukee the night of March 12. Under the terms of the agreement Ritchie will get $10,000, with the privilege of 40 rignt receipts. Try state Journal Art- for Result. Aggies started off in the lead when Helt of the Farmers easily beat out O'Neill of Kansas university in the thirty-yard dash, the first event. How ever, with the running of the thirty yard low hurdles, the next event, the Jayhawkers knotted the count when Hazen, captain of Coach Hamilton's speed artists, finished first in 4 flat. Vandenburg of the "Aggies" nosed out Reber of Kansas for second place by a small margin. Hazen and Perry then won first and second places for the Jayhawkers in the high hurdles, and from this time on the Lawrence, Kan., boys con tinued increasing their lead rapidly, taking first -and second places in the mile, quarter and -the. half, first in the shoe put, two mile and relay, and second in the. high Jump and pole vault.

Sixteen years have elapsed since the Maine was blown up In Havana har bor.

Nor will the Panama canal be wholly a blessing if it results in a large Increase In the emigration to this country, as the experts predict. It occurs to the Washington Post that various cabinet crises abroad should encourage Mr. Carnegie to spread the Chautauqua idea In the in terest of universal peace. And the groundhog that controls the weather conditions in the eastern sec tion of the country seems to be a par ticularly vicious little beast. Or else his grouch of this year is of unusual proportions. One result of the nation-wide inquiry as to the unemployed which is to be made by the federal commission of in dustrial, relations can be forecasted with certainty. It will be productive of a most voluminous report. Just how the Mexicans arrive at the conclusion that President Wilson is lacking in honor is not readily under stood. Their activities would indicate that they haven't the slightest con ception of the meaning of the word "honor.". The activities of France in being elaborately prepared for war fur nish the opportunity for no less than a quarter of a million French soldiers to be on the sick list. All of which is more evidence that the terrors of peace, where militarism reigns, are about equal to those of war. In view of his aversion for the levity nnd horse-play that are the features of the banquets of some of the organiza tions that have their headquarters at Washington, President Wilson's coMs that are coincident with the festivi ties of the Gridiron Club are at least convenient. Just why It is perfectly proper for the Progressives and the Democrats to hold pre-primary rallies for the adoption of tentative platforms, and decidedly Improper for the Republi cans to do likewise Is another of those peculiar political propositions that are ever coming to the front in Kansas. swaaaaaaaaa aaaw aaa. And still another cause for worry has been lifted from the shoulders of the American people by Secretary Bryan. Switzerland has signed one of the famous peace treaties that he has been so busy promulgating. Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Japan and a few other of the lesser lights in the international cosmos are yet to be heard from. Rear Admiral Peary predicts that the girdling of the poles will be the next great feat of the explorers. And the fact that Doc Cook has been un der cover for a few months suggest the possibility that he is already on this Job. How he happened to permit others to beat him to the South Pole Is one of the inexplicable mysteries of all time. Governor Hodges is wholly unfit for the high office he holds and is un worthy in every way of a re-election. Think of it! Senator Thompson took a whole hour of the senate's time re cently pressing the claim of Frank Hodges, the governor's brother, for a refund of $49 of the 150 he paid the government for a license to hunt in Alaska, and which he was prevented from using by Illness. What a worry-breeder "if Is. For instance, should a number of "ifs" materialize in case of a war between France and another powerful nation. Paris would find itself without bread in four days. Hence' it Is proposed that France spend a big sum of money to provide against such an untoward contingency. Surely the militarists the world over are most versatile in devel oping "scares" that can only be wiped ut of existence by the expenditure of large sums of the people's hard earned money. ECONOMIC CONDITIONS SOUND. There has been some disappoint ment among those very optimistically inclined at-the slowness of business reeoverv." writes Henrv Clews.' the I New Tork banker In bis current week ly financial review, "but It is recog nixed that considerable lost ground has been recovered, that economic conditions are generally sound and promising, and that should we be blessed with another good harvest, the prospects are that the latter half of 1914 will witness much wider activity than the first half. There Is consid erable talk at present about the largo number of unemployed In this city. Unfortunately the number is greater than usual. Tet It Is proper to re member that at this season the unem ployed from various parts of the coun try drift to New Tork because they stand a better chance here than else where of receiving food and shelter from the numerous charitable organ izatlons in this city. It is also to be remembered that the number of un employed at this season is always larger than at any other period, be cause out of door work Is largely sus pended. This year the proportion of the unemployed from this cause Is exceptionally heavy owing to slackness in the bunding trades; but in the win ter months work is always less plenti ful, and the class of labor most affect ed usually receives nigh wages, and thus has opportunity for preparing for the time of nonemployment. "Gradually but slowly trade la in creasing in volume. This is quite true In the steel trade in which the unfilled orders In January Increased 831,000 tons. The steel trade is as yet by no means In an entirely satisfactory con dition, the volume of business being still much below normal and prices low. Nevertheless, the tendency Is distinctly towards further improve ment. Another indication of better ment was a reduction of 4,000,000 pounds in the domestic stocks of cop per during January. The monthly idle-car statement also showed a de crease of 5,200 cars in January. Rail road purchases have been curtailed for months past, and It is probable that their orders during the last year or two of rolling stock and rails have fallen below the actual loss through ordinary wear and tear. Sheer neces sity will soon compel larger purchases by railroad managers. The latter con tinue embarrassed by inability to se cure better rates and by the difficul ties of raising money; though some relief has been afforded by the recent fall in interest rates, which made It easier to refund or extend maturing obligations. The question of meeting the great mass of short term notes is now much less serious than at one time feared, thanks to better condi tions in the money market. New is sues are now being offered with more confidence and seem to be promptly absorbed. Large amounts of high grade bonds and stocks have been taken by Investors and financial in stitutions since the first of the year, a condition which materially aids the marketing of desirable new Issues, of which a number still are pending. There Is every probability that inves tors will have an ample selection of new flotations from which to choose during the coming months. In Europe the flood of new Issues has been ex cessive, but it is encouraging to note that most of them have been well taken. The Belgian loan for $16, 000,000 was a complete success. So, too, was a Chinese loan. A Greek loan, a Hungarian loan and a South African government loan are all in immediate prospect. The marked rise In British consols is emphatic proof of better conditions in London, al though the expected further reduc tion of the Bank of England rate is likely to be postponed. The financial situation in Paris has much improved. The German bank situation is also satisfactory, and the London settle ment went off without trouble in spite of the unsettlement caused by the opening of parliament and the strain of the Ulster situation." BEAUTY AN IDEAL OF LIFE. Perhaps never since the Renaissance has there been such a widespread im pulse to assert Beauty and Joy as the Ideals of human life as today, writes Richard Le Gallienne; in March Smart Set. As evidence one has but to turn one's eyes on the youth of both sexes as they rainbow the city thoroughfares with their laughing, heartless faces, evident children of beauty and joy, "pagan" to the core of them, however ostensibly Christian their homes and their country. In our time, at all events, Beauty has never walked the streets with so frank a radiance, so confident an air of security in her eyes and in her carriage, as in her subtly shaped and subtly scented gar ments, so conspicuous a challenge to the musty, outworn properties to frown upon her all they please. From the humblest shopgirl to the greatest lady there is apparent an intention to be beautiful, sweet maid, and let who will humdrum, at whatever cost, by whatever means. This, of course, at all periods, has been woman's chief thought, but still recently, in our times, she has more or less affected a certain secrecy in her intention. She has hinted rather than fully expressed it, as though fearing a certain fla grancy in too public an exhibition of her enchantments. It has hardly seemed proper to her heretofore to be as beautiful in the public gaze as in the sanctuary of her boudoir. But now, bless you. she has no such mis givings, and the flowerlike effect upon the city streets is aa dazzling as If, some fine morning in Constantinople, all the ladies of the various harems should suddenly appear abroad with out their yashmaks, setting fire to the hearts and turning the heads of the unaccustomed male. Ocean Source of Life. In a lecture on "the fitness of laorganle compounds for the life processes," Dr. L, J.

"The organization of the ocean flta It to sustain life better than any other, en vironment," said Dr. Henderson, "and the fundamental characteristics of the ocean also encourage the evolution, of active life. -The origin of life itself depends upon stability.

There is one sub stance that possesses more stability than anything- else we know of, and that la the ocean.

"Well, we'll have to am aheail anrt make some repairs, but I don't want to throw away any money. Clear the grounds and repair the house a bit. and I may get some of the club chaps to some down here with me now and then for a week." 'I shall need a laborer." "Get one." "And there ought to be 'somebody to boss the job." And charge me five dollars a day!" "Not that. sir. Do you see that sum mer house over there?" 'It's rather an odd, conceit, but I think I like it." "If was designed by a young: ladv who lives in that cottage with her mother." "So?" "And she is learning to be an archi tect." "Never heard of a girl architect nor a girl boss." "But they are coming to be, sir. There is a summer house that you can see for yourself, and you ought to have a peep at her dog house and chicken coop. No king has any better." Air. unison didn't ask if the girl were plain faced or handsome. He didn't say he'd better have a talk with ner. He had other things back in the city on his mind, and was in a hurry to have done with the matter of re pairs. What he did say was: "Well, you had better- see her and have her go ahead." Miss Dorothy Clyde was "learning to be an architect." Her mother's Income was not large, and the two women had often cast about for some side line that might eke it out. They had thought of chickens at once. They had begun with a hundred and ended with seven. They had started a frog farm, but the frogs had jumped into the next county. "But. mother, there must be some thing that an ambitious girl can do to make money." Miss Dorothy had said after each, failure. "Yes, it seems so," had always been the answer. Accident furnished the key. The girl happened to get hold of one of those "back to the land" monthlies. In ad dition to relating how almost any den sen of the city could jump out into the country and run his weight up to 200 pounds and his fortune to tens of thou sands of dollars, it had a list of things an ambitious girl living out in Nature's pasture might accomplish. One of the things was architecture. Not the architecture that gives us the skyscrapers and the capitol buildings, but the kind that takes a tumbledown old farm house and alters it over Into a villa. And with this style went the fancy to lay out the grounds around said villa and make them match and har monize with the house, the barn, the pigsty and the hencoop. "Mother. I can do it!" exclaimed the daughter. "I know I can, and I can make hundreds of dollars a year." As a result she built a summer house, a dog kennel and a chicken coop. She must have samples to show the public Mr. Barnes, the care taker at the McDevltt place, came over and inspected them. "Young woman, you have a great head on you a great head! "Do you think I shall make a suc- ss at it?" "A grand success." Mr. Barnes was no flatterer. He believed what ho said. When young i Mr. HUlson came and began to talk about repairs and a boss there was an opening for the girl of ambitionJ The young man had scarcely depart ed when Mr. Barnes was proudly ot tering tne contract to suss iJorotny.' "Is it possible?' she gasped. "I stand here to say that Ids!" "And what is the limit as to monev "Well, he said things must be put In snape." "Oh, dear, what luck!" Mr. Barnes was for ordering shin gles, lumber, paint, brick, cement and other things by the carload at once, but the ambitious girl stayed his hand. She had real or heard that architects first prepared plans and specifications, and she would do the same. It would hardly be- fair by the owner to go ahead without knowing something about the cost. Right away, at 7 o'clock next morning, she was "on the job." So was a laborer Mr. Barnes had hired. While the laborer uproot ed thistles and burdocks she walked over the five acres of ground and planned the grand boulevard and the various paths wnicn snouia inter sect It. Miss Dorothy put In a month of preparatory work, and when she and Mr. Barnes had estimated In the most careful manner and added up their figures they found the total to be $225,000. For this sum Mr. Hlllson had an old feudal castle, a villa and a manor house combined. There were three ancient drawbridges and seven modern bathrooms. There were eight ancient turrets and live modern bll- Hard room a There were torchholders in the walls, and electric lights under them. i As for the grounds, they were to be patterned after the royal grounds at Versailles. There would be fourteen fountains and thirty-seven pieces of statuary. and Mr. Hlllson and his friends could smoke their pipes In twenty-two airrerent arbors. The plans and estimates were sent to Mr. Hlllson at his club, and what he said when he had digested them was in Spanish and cannot be given in American. The next morning he started for the scene to jump Mr. Barnes out of his boots, and to rec ommend the architect to take up dressmaking instead. It was then and there that Provi dence took a hand In the game. That morning Miss Dorothy had to go to the village in her pony cart to get more paper to estimate on. She had never seen Mr. Hlllson nor he her. At a narrow place In the highway they met. The chauffeur lost his nerve for the moment. The pony reared and plunged. Then the auto went into on ditch and the pony the other. "Anybody hurt?" asked Mr. Hlllson from where he lay on his back. "I'm not more than half killed." laughed Miss Dorothy. "Same here." added the chauffeur. "A little careful, please." cautioned Mr. Hlllson, as they got ready to lift him from under the overturned ma chine. "I feel quite sure one of my legs is broken!" "You go to the farm house and get the man and a vehicle of some sort," commanded the girl of the chauffeur. "There is no hospital around here?" "You will be taken to my mother's house We'll have a doctor there as soon as you are." "But it may be six weeks before I can get up to the city." "We shan't turn you out. I ought to have waited for you to pass the narrow spot." "And I told my man to watt for you, but he la stupid. My name Is Hlllson. I own the old McDevltt place down here." "And I am Miss Clyde. Mr. Barnes had spoken of her as a young lady, and thus her name had no significance to the young man. When Mr. Barnes came over to the Clyde home to see the patient he had nothing to say of Miss Dorothy as an architect. It was a full month after the accident that young Hlllson laugh ingly said one day: "I believe there Is a young lady architect in this neighborhood some where. Ever meet her?" "I have." "Nice girl?" "Very nice. Why?" "Tell her to drop architecture and get married." It wasn't a very long speech, but It cost Mr. Jewett Hlllson Just one ex tra year of courtship for making it. During that year the house was re paired for $5,000. and was all ready for the bridal couple upon their re turn. (Copyright, 1914, by the Mc Clure Newspaper Syndicate.) PAROLE FOR r.TOOHE, Governor's Clemency for Cherryvale Man Sentenced for Manslaughter. Governor Hodges today granted a parole to Benton Moore, convicted re cently of the killing of Mel Crouse In Cherryvale. Moore was sentenced to serve a term of three to five years In the state penitentiary when a Jury found him guilty of manslaughter. He has been in prison less than six months. Crouse. a Cherryvale pugilist, visited Moore's home in June. 1913, and is said to have attempted to rob Moore It was during Crouse's visit that Moore seised a gun and shot Crouse through the head. Moore was a man of high standing in the community, was promi nent in -loage and cnurch work and public sentiment was strongly in favor of his acquittal. After Moore's conviction and sen tence. Judge Flannelly permitted the prisoner to return to his home in In dependence on his own recognisance. When the Montgomery county sheriff started to the Lansing prison with sev eral convicts, Moore was waiting for him at the Cherryvale depot and a crowd of Moore's friends were present to bid him good-bye. Since the man was taken to prison, his parole or par don has been frequently urged and Governor Hodges has received scores of letters from Cherryvale business men, bankers and professional men. urging clemency.

Indian Creek and Rochester Schools Are' Closed. From all present indications there is hot fight brewing In the district north of the river for the office of coun ty commissioner. In the eyes of the people in the northern part of the county it is going to be almost as in teresting as the big state show. The weeding out process does not take place until the Aogust primary and in tne meantime it is expected that there will be plenty doing. Most of the other candidates are watchlns Simms. Simms is now serv ing his second term and is a candidate for re-election. The other candidates (there are five of them) are of the opinion that the third term proposition will put the skids under him but are not sure enough of the thing to rest easy. But from all present indications, Frank Simms is not going to walk into office with light opposition. There are a number of strong candidates against him. They are men who have served the public well in small public offices and men who have strong friends. S. C. Landis, of Menoken township, is going to make a strong fight, according to his friends. He is one of the promi nent farmers of the northern part of the county and has a strong record. Boyd Pollom, of Soldier township, is an other candidates who must not be counted out among the strong candi dates. There has been no commission er from his vicinity for a number of vears and Soldier township is going to boost him, according to a number or the residents in that part of the coun ty. He -has served on the township board and has many friends working in his Interest. George Toung, who lives in North To peka. is well known in the commission er district. While Mr. Toung has not been using any red fire or making any noise, it is going to be necessary for the other candidates to figure on the big North Topekan with his big ways and ready smile. Samuel Martin, another man who has announced himself, is backed by a lot of people and has many friends. He Is well known in the northern part of the county and as Silver Lake is his home town it is expected that he will be boosted there. John Fritz of Rossville is also a strong candidate and his friends expect to put up a strong fight for him. There is another man in the northern part of the county who is receiving many side glances from the other can didates. His name is O. F. Winner. Mr. Winner has not, up to the present time, entered the race but many of his friends are urging him to make the fight. When Interviewed this morning, Mr. Winner said that he did not want to make a statement at the present time. None of the candidates have been making much noise. But taken in all. there Is a merry little fight sched uled and until the primary it Is going to be mighty little betting on candi dates.' Simms and Toung are Democrats and Winner, Landis, Martin and PbUom are Republicans. There are two other men Who are being urged to enter the 'race. If they enter it will simply serve to make the fight more interesting, as they are strong men. Close Indian Creek School. As a result of two more cases of smallpox being found in the Indian Creek neighborhood the Rochester and Indian Creek schools have been closed. Indian Creek school was closed Monday morning. Donald Metzger and Russell Wendell are the victims of the disease. The two houses In which they live have been placed under quarantine. Both schools will be closed for two weeks unless the disease is successfully stamped out. Rochester school was closed this morning, according to the director, Mrs. J. R. Madison. The county phy sician fumigated the building today. Last Friday a Lincoln s Day aaaress was given at the Rochester school. The Wendell boy attended this lecture in company with a number of the In dian Creek onpils. Patrons of both the schools are very much adverse to the schools being closed. Some of them go as far as to say that tne boys have nothing but rash or an insignifi cant skin disease. But the county health officers say It is smallpox. There Is little cause for a "smallpox scare," however, as the physicians are keeping the cases under strict quar antine. They are also watching de velopments closely and are doing ev erything in their power to successful ly rid the neighborhoods of the dis ease. Smallpox was a much discussed topic in the homes of the two school districts Monday evening and today. Vic Peterson, who was subject to the disease several weeks ago, is re ported to be improving. There is some talk that another school will be closed in a short time on. account of the two cases but up to the present time no action has been taken. To Open Offices April 1. The Western Union offices in North Topeka will be opened April 1. Out of a number of buildings which were be ing considered by the telegraph com pany, the one at 619 North Kansas ave nue has been finally decided on. This building was chosen because of Its lo cation near the railroad station. It has been rumored through North To peka for the past two months that the office would occupy this building but it was only recently that the officials of the telegraph company decided that this was the logical place for the of fice. The building Is now occupied by the Union Pacific pharmacy which is also known as the Nyal drug store. The telegraph offices will occupy about half of the north side of the room. Nor contracts have been signed up to the present time but it is ex pected that they will be received from Omaha in a few days. North aiders believe that the opening of the telegraph office is simply anoth er step in making the town bigger and better than ever before. Meeting Postponed. The Grange meeting which was to have been held at the Indian Creek hall this evening has been postponed on account of smallpox cases in that neighborhood. The municipal market place was to have been discussed. It is expected by most of the people that the scare will be over by next Tues day night and the meeting will be held. Personal Mention.

AS MAN TO MAN. Grady Montgomery, manager of the Iris picture show, has taken exceptions to the recent protest of the Pottawat omie Indian and the newspaper man against picture show music of the pres ent aay m Topeka. in fact. Grady is peevish about it. Grady has an electric piano in his show house and he claims that it makes better music than most pianists In town can make. Grady goes further than this. He offers to bet real money that he can put his piano behind a screen and tne newspaper man and the Indian cannot tell whether it is played automatically or by human hands. And his bet will not be taken. Grady also goes on to state, in fretful fashion, that he cannot afford to cater exclusively to a Pottawatomie Indian and a newspaper man who prefer a wheezy piano and a trap drum to the soulful rendition -of the best music in the world. And come to think it over. Grady is right. He claims to know more about the picture show business than the In dian or the newspaper man. He does. The story in the "As Man to Man column of a few days ago was not di rected at the Iris, for that is the news paper man's favorite picture show house, electric piano and all- But it did seem that the picture show music had deteriorated and part of the blame was placed on the steam piano. And besides, the newspaper man had thought that Grady had an "Octopnone" or an Aeolian harp or something like that to produce his music But here he comes, and rakes the writer fore. and aft with lyddite and shiomese projectiles on the question of music. Dod Gaston's favorite indoor 5 Younft Men-WhoTl Sso It? n) is dear to the youner man's heart JQ will be found in these $22.50, $25.00 V$ and $28.00 Suits at. Give That Puny Child This Guaranteed Remedy If your child Is under-welght, list less, ailing, liable to get sick -easily, it -needs a medicine to build its weight and strength. For this purpose there is nothing else we know of that we can eo strongly endorse as Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion. The remarkable suc cess of this splendid medicine Is due to the fact that it contains ingredients that tone the nerves, enrich the blood and furnish to the entire system the strength, weight and health-building substances it needs. And, it does all this without injuring the stomach. In fact, Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is not only pleasant to take, but even the most sensitive stomach is benefited by it, and the digestion improved: On the other hand, it contains no alcohol or habit-forming drugs, which most parents object to giving their children. It does its good work by taking bold of the weakness and builds the body up to its natural Strength, at the same time making it strong to resist ale ease. If Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion doesn't build yaur child up, feed the stunted, puny muscles, and make the little one lively, strong, well and full of the ani al Spirits children are meant by nature to have, come- back and tell us and get your1 money back. We don't want you to lose a cent. We think this is no more, than fair, and it leaves you no cause to hesitate. For old people also for convalescents for all who are nervous, tired-out, run-down, no matter what the cause we offer Rexall Olive OH Emulsion with the same guarantee of entire satisfaction or money back. Sold only at the 7,000 Rexall Stores, and in this town only by s. $1.00 Welghtman's Pharmacy, 9th and Kansas Ave., To peka, Kan. Adv. sport for some months past has also been played by the same rules with the same object in view. So the newspaper man is going out of the music business. If there is a dog fight or a circus parade or a ham eating contest or a raid on a Joint he will try to tell about it, but in the matter of music he seems to have peculiar and Isolated ideas, and as they are fixed pretty firm, he will shift to other topics in order to keep out of trouble. Why, Grady declared In that cynaide of potassium letter that most of the music lovers and Judges of this city had endorsed his piano and pronounced its music the best the theater had ever known. And opposed to these stand only a Pottawatomie Indian and a newspaper man. And we must either retract or undertake to run the Iris for a week. We retract. C. SANTA FE NOTES.

Figures compiled by the Democratic state administration show that the number of state employees has been reduced from 3,087 to 2,915 under the J Hodges' administration, or a reduction in the working force of the state de partments of 172 employees. The fig ures were compiled in the governor's office to meet the criticism aimed at the state administration by Robert Stone in his speech before the Kansas Day club j when he charged that the number of employees had been Increased iwi since Governor Hodges inauguration. The report shows that the greatest reduction was in the state oil inspec tor's department where the number of employees was reduced from 125 to 7. In the agricultural college and Its branches, the number of employees was reduced 76. An additional 20 employees were taken from the payroll in the Em poria State normal. The reports are based on the number of employees on the state payroll in December, 1912, the last month of the Stubbs administra tion, and the number of employees re ceiving pay from the state in Decem ber. 1913. the close o- the first year of the Hodges' administration. j The number or employees oi me vari ous departments aunng urese nronu" were: State Department Employees.

St. Louis Firm Will Furnish 45,000 Anto Tags. I The state today contracted for the purchase of 40,000 automobile tags 18 cents, while motorcycle taes will cost 7 cents. Contract for these tags to be delivered June 10 was let today to the Adams Stamp and Seal com pany of St. Louis by Secretary of State Charles Sessions. Last year the contract for -the Kan sas motor car tags was let to the St. Louis firm at a contract price of cents for the 35,000 tags purchased. It is estimated that 40,000 automobile tags will be required to meet the de mands this year. None of the new tags will be mailed to owners of cars before July 1, but under the contract all tags will be shipped not later than June 1 and there wlu be no delays through failure to receive tags promptly. The tags this year will be of the same weight and material as those now in use. The only change will be in the background and letter ing. Under the design chosen today, the new tags will call for a blue back ground with white letters. The 1913 tags are black letters on white back ground. Burned enamel tags will be used. Topeka Man Nearly landed. Six firms sought the contract for the 114 tags. Two of the firms Hink son Sign company and Chartes Trapp were Topeka bidders.

The dispute Is over the will of D. C. McClafferty, formerly a wealthy Jointist, who died a year ago. In a will dated Nov. 6. 1908, McClafferty left "all his property, real and per sonal," to the bishop. A later will, dated May 24, 1912, makes Mary Elizabeth Carden legatee of his prop erty, value roughly estimated at 85,000. The bishop holds that Jenkins and Carden, knowing McClafferty's mind was diseased by drink, induced him to sign a will for which he was not re sponsible. He claims that John Al len, one of the witnesses, was not really present when the second docu ment was drawn up. Ever since the Irishman died, Feb. 4. 1913, there has been dispute over his property.

He is an expert In the cam of milk and cows. The fact that Topeka can now boast of as high class herd of Jersey cattle as there is in the west is something to talk about. to be able to get Oliver inter ested with him m this enterprise. Doran replied by taking the reporter out to see his farm and new cattle barn. And the answer was apparent. That barn is a model. It is 86x79 and is built of steel and concrete. It is finished Inside with cement, has running water, wood floors in the stalls over the cement, the King sys tem of ventilation, is well lighted and is kept as clean as a hound's tooth. Why, the inside of that barn is plas tered and the ceiling is painted. Back of the barn is a 150-ton silo cattlemen of that section to improve the class of their herds. The Isle of Jersey is the home of the original Jer sey cattle. There are not so many of these cattle, direct importations; in this country that Topeka cannot lee I a pride in having so large a herd. And some of these cows are the pick of the best herds in Jersey. Oliver, the St. Joseph partner in the enterprise, was one of the foremost cattle experts at the St. Louis expo sition a dozen years ago. BRYANT MURDER TRIAL Coort Room Crowded with. Negroes Today.

Orr of Atchison, who is in Topeka today, states that; he will make no announcement of his political plans until the annual banquet of Kansas Democrats in Topeka next Monday. At that time, Orr states, he will make a definite statement regard ing his candidacy for the gubernar torial nomination. For some time Orr's name has been mentioned in connection with the Democratic ubernatorial-, situation. But the Orr boom started some weeks before Governor Hodges definitely Ftated that he would be a candidate to succeed himself and many of Orr's friends beJieve that he will not be a candidate except in event Hodges Fought the senatorial nomination. These matters will be settled by Orr, however, when he comes to Topeka npt week. "I will make no statement at this time," said Orr, "but will say aennite ly just what I will do when I come to Tnnpka npit Monday." Orr left this afternoon for Eureka to appear in the trial of a lawsuit. AT THE MOVIES. The Empress.

This is the story of two college chums, both coming into dire straits and one or tnem nnauy committing suicide.

By the title it is easy to. guess what variety of a picture this is. Another comedy, "Midnight Alarm," rounds up the excellent mid week bin. The Iris. Another interesting program in Kin amacolor pictures is being shown at the Iris Monday and today. These Kina mn color pictures are one of the most attractive features of entertainment among moving picture houses in To peka. The program this week Includes the film, "War and Peace" in three reels, "Other People's Children,"" in two reels, and Alice Uoyd. the famous English comediene. together with pic tures of the tea Industry in India. The film "War and Peace" is based a a war time theme portraying the visit of a northerner in the south in the early sixties during which time he becomes infatuated with a southern belle. Later, after the Civil war be gins, the same young man returns to the south as a federal captain. This film ends in a beautiful romance and is highly interesting. The film, "Other People's Children," portrays a confirmed bachelor driven to desperation by the neighbors' chil dren, receives news that his brother has left for an extended trip and has sent his twins to him (the bachelor) for safekeeping. They are accompanied by their governess and the film ends with a romance. The program, beginning Wednesday, it the film, "Life's Bitter Dregs," in four parts. This film was produced by the same company as in "The Black Circle" which was shown at the Iris last week. "Life's Bitter Dregs" is an idyllic story of love and love's greatest sacrifice. The attractive features of this film are portrayed as in "The Black Circle," which proved to be so popular. The octophone, recently installed at a great expense to the management, is proving to be one of the attractive features of the popular movie house.

Put a piece of dry flannel over this and bind tightly against the face. This simple treat ment has brought peaceful rest to people who have suffered agonies. The factor in piano playing which differentiates above 'all else Paderew 8ki from other pianists Is his touch and the wonderfully beautiful singing quality of tone he secures from his in strument. All the more Interesting, therefore, is it to get his own views on the subject. Hr was asked once what is meant by a" pianist's touch. He replied that a treatise might be written, on the quejitiqn. .Generally speaking. however, a pianist's touch he regarded as the expression of the pianist's temperament; that Is to say, the tone he produces is a part of his individuality and as Such must neces sarily be different in different players. Different players, therefore, stir audi ences with different degrees of pro fundity and in answer to the question who in his experience had stirred au diences most profoundly, he answered without hesitation, "Rubinstein." "Rubinstein." he said, "stirred his audiences more than any violin play er because of the much wider range of the piano. More than singers generally, but not always. The pidno will stir people more deeply than wiH the human voice, soprano, contralto or bass, but it might be held to take second place occasionally not more man unce or twice in a century on the appearance of a perfect tenor. The piano does not need the support of music rendered by another medium and thus a piano recital does not tire. proviaea, or course, tne performer can bring out all his author intended."

The president, Mrs. A. A. Godard, pre sided. Miss Marguerite Dice, the sec retary, gave a graphic and interesting account of the year's work, supple mented by talks by Mrs! W, 8. Lindsay, vice president, and Mrs. David Page, former secretary. An address was made by Miss Ines Kinney, of Denver, executive secretary of the West Central field, who returned yesterday from the meeting of the national board In New York city. Reports for the year 1913 show 1404 members; 411 gymnasium enrollment; 1.094 used swimming pool, 189 educa tional enrollment; 200 daily average in lunch room; 22 permanent roomers; 379 'transient roomers; 263; Bible class en rollment; 45 average at religious ser vices; 12 enrollment in mission study class: 46 secured positions through em ployment department; 74 members in newly organized high school club; and 7 charges from Juvenile court cared for. The total receipts for the year were 331.660.35; the total expense $21,549.93, leaving a balance on hand January 1. 1914, of $10.42, with aU current bills paid. The Only liabilities are a debt of $2,764 due on the building because of unpaid pledges and $61.35 covering an agreement to furnish a room In the Na tional Board building in New York city. The estimated expense for the year 1914 including interest on the loan and $500 of the principal is 321.3&7.18. The estimated receipts from membership, class fees, cafeteria, dormitory and property is $18,714, leaving to be raised by subscriptions $2,673.18. The amount to be raised by subscriptions for 1914 is something more than the amount raised last year because of the desire of the association to pay off $500 of the prin cipal of its debt. The financial standing shows excel lent business management and a small debt, only $2,764, considering the value of the association property, about $80,000. AT THE ORPIIEU'.l. The Five Lunatics appear in the headline act at the Orpheum for the first three days of the week. This is a number of the "slap stick" variety. which appeals to a per cent of every audience. The youth who takes the customary part of tne dude was good; the main comedian was mediocre and the school teacher ditto. However. there was plenty of comedy in the bill and it was fast and startling from beginning to end. It certainly was a "big noise," and of the class that has appeared before many times in To peka. It is a school room act. "Buster," a dog, perhaps puts on the best act this week. He performs with his handsome manager, Billy Curtis, who is a crack roller skater. The little, dog is well trained, plays on a harmonica, climbs stains with the agility of a boy, can say his prayers, thereby teaching several In the au dience a good lesson and in other ways proves his remarkable intelli gence. Curtis, as a roller skater, is above the average and he and Buster Work together well.', Bob Harmon Co., perform in an act that Includes the wonderful dis appearance of one of the cast. Har mon puts together a giant man, en tirely empty at tbe start, in full view Of the audience. The man performs in the steel structure. Later Harmon takes the steel man apart again, in the front of the stage, and it is empty. This is a good number. Clifford and Taylor have a singing and dancing act which goes well. The act of the Hunter sisters Mon day afternoon was a decided disap pointment. The three sisters were booked as musicians, but failed to give any satisfaction. During a particular ly dreary violin solo by one of the members, the audience clapped voci ferously, making it nearly impossible for them to go on with the act. After the performance. Manager Nathanson cancelled their act and moving pic tures were substituted in the evening show. One reel of pictures and music by the Orpheum orchestra started the show. Beginning this afternoon, instead of the act of the musical sisters, the management has booked Marcean and Greenwood, direct from Kansas City. They will present a duo musical of fering. S.J. New York, Feb. 17. Members of the Besley expedition, which left here last summer to explore uncharted re gions of South America, returned to day on the Byron and reported they had found the bones of members of the Cromer expedition which entered the wilds of Peru, nearly two years ago, and was never heard from. The Cromer expedition was headed by W. H. Cromer, a former West Point cadet, and William H. Page, a Chicago high school teacher. The Besley expedition crossed the continent from Lima and came down the Amazon from the headwaters to its mouth. They found bip and thigh bones and other traces of the Cromer party, on the way. and erected a cross to their memory. Those who returned today were Captain J. Campbell Bes ley, an Englishman; F. B. Coates. J. K. Holbrook and J. W. Dunne. They reported the discovery of a new Inca city in Peru called Plateriyayoc and visited other -regions hitherto un known to white men. Traces were found of the lost Seljan expedition, which took the same route is the Cromer, and Captain Besley bought the bones might have been he remains of members of either arty.

AT THE MAJESTIC. The revival of old plays at the Ma jestic continues, and this week the presentation by the local stock com pany is of tbe one-time favorite, "Ten Nights in a Bar Room." This' must have been the story that our great grandparents used to scare the child ren Into going to sleep before the days of the Child Welfare League. If all the boose fighters and cut-throats of this play should move to Dover, Dover would be a city. Topeka, however, appears to dote on temperance lectures, and the play ia such a lecture in action.. There has not been a better house to a Monday nignt penormance at tne Majestic this season than that which witnessed the tavern scenes of last night. The story runs through six short acts, con- sisting of as many different episodes but slightly related. It evidently is intended to snow up tne graauai work of intoxicants as a degrading agency. For in the first act there Is but one brawl, and that does not end in the death of any actor, probably because they are all needed for succeeding drunken jinks. A Mr. Romalne, whose part Is tak en by Walter Walsh, appears in the first act, and thereafter in all the acta. He has nothing particular to do with the action of the play, and his dra matic function seems to be simply to warn the Inhabitants of tbe unright eous village of Cedervllle of the evils of drlnk, and to be on hand at, every turn to "point the moral and adorn the tale:" Neal Anderson does very weU as the young prodigal who treads the downward path and meets an ear ly death at the bands of a vicious gambler, in tbe person of R. J. Mack. He carries his liquor very weU for so young a person and appears to reel Just about enough. J. G. Stutsman takes the part of the gutter drunkard. (This piece, you see, presents them in all shades and degrees.) He writhes through an attack of delirium tremens that Is fittingly gruesome, and then suddenly reforms to become tho shin ing iignt of tne countryside. Sport North, as Sample Swlchet. af forded some gleams o humor through the general atmosphere of gloom and wickedness. He gave a realistic repre sentation or a cneerrui rustic, his act ing was excellent diversion and won the approbation of the audience. B.H.
