Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 23. General
Luke E. "VVilght, who is mentioned as a
probable appointee on the Philippine
commiBBion, left for Washington last
night. While no statement could be ob

AT THE PLAY LAST SIGHT.
The scenery used in the production of

the Denver Theater company recently.

supplied. Consequently the various

pretty stage pictures and save the man

Second Presentation to Be Giv
en Tonight.
Pick Smith's Unique History of
the Topeka Lodge.
"My Lord in Petticoats" was present
ed at the annual benefit of the Topeka
Elks at the Grand Opera House last
night. A large audience saw the piece,
and generously repaid the efforts of the
performers with applause.
Miss Georgia Brown of Lawrence.who
has been exceptionally successful in di
recting amateur theatricals, has had the
rehearsing of the farce in charge, and
her work was evident in the perform
ance. Miss Brown took part in the
farce in the character of the real "Dona
Lucia."
The Topeka Dramatic club includts
some of the best amateur talent in the
city, and this fact was proven as de
cidedly in last night's clever perform
ance as in any of the perform
ances for which the club has been re
sponsible in the past. The cast included
three recent recruits to the successful
organization, Miss Emilie King, Mr.
Harry Van Nordstrandt and Mr. Wal
ter Smith.
"My Lord in Petticoats" will be given
a performance tonight and Saturday
afternoon.
The characters of the clever farce
were taken as follows:
Stephen Spettigue, Solicitor, Oxford
Walter Smith.
Col. Sir Francis Chesney, late Indian
Service Dean Low.
Jack Chesney, Undergraduate Hale
Hamilton.
Cherley Weychom, St. Olde College
Adrian Sherman.

Pick Smith contributed the following
unique history of the Topeka lodge
published in the progrpmme:
Topeka lodge No. ?04 of the Benevo
lent and Protective Order of Elks, is
now well-nigh onto ten years old, and,
in truth and in fact, is "gettin' a big
boy now." We have "growed" mighty
fast recently, until dad's coat now fits
Willie nicely, with no wrinkles in the
back. We would like to tell you how
we have prospered during the last year,
but don't like to brag; but we will say
this much as we believe in advertising'
everything that is a good thing for
Topeka that our membership has in
creased so much during the past year
that we have found it necessary to
either change our stamping-ground or
enlarge our quarters. Consequently we
have just closed, contracts with the
owners of Masonic temple wherein we
live, move and have our being for more
than double our present space, and
when the changes are completed, which
will be right soon, we will have the fin
est and most convenient quarters out
side of Missouri excepting, of course,
our state's institution at Lansing. Then,
when wo have social "doings" up there,
we will not be crowded to death, and
our guests who have corns and bunions
will have more latitude. We will then
have three dining-rooms, a large libra
ry and reading-room, which can be
used for dancing, several parlors and
reception rooms in short, all that heart
could desire or money (that is, some
money) purchase for our comfort and
pleasure and to make glad the hearts
of our guests; and if you are not an Elk
you will not be "in it," often.
(To the ladies: If your husband is
not an Elk. you'd better see that he ap
plies at once for admission that is. if
he is a real nice man, as we are to have
just a little the swellest house-warming
when our new quarters are in shape
that "ever happened" on this portion of
the "footstool." None but Elks and
their kin-folk will be invited that is, of
the sterner sex. Of course, if you are a
spinster we mean a maiden fair and
some nice Elk sends po an "invite" to
attend this function, don't you think of
declining, for, really and truly, as you
girls would express it, the affair will be
decidedly recherche.)
But, as we were saying before, we
really don't know how long the war in
South Africa will last, but that don't
bother us any more than the bear-fight
did the woman. What: never heard of
it? Well, that is funny, for it is a reg
ular old chestnut. But here it is: A
poor woman was strolling through the
woods in search of her husband, who
had been out all night "sitting up with
a sick friend" or attending some one's
birthday party at least she didn't
know where the blessed man was. She
unexpectedly came upon him in a heat
ed controversy with a bear. He solicited
her good" offices in his behalf, but as it
seemed about an even tussle and she
believed in fair play, she merely re
marked as she turned on her right heel
(we believe it was) and wended her way
homeward: "Go it, man! Gi it, bear!
I don't give a snap which whips." And
yet, people sometimes ask single men
why they don't get married.
We go thus into details in our History
of the F.Iks, lest some people who know
little, if anything, concerning us, may
get a wrong impression of our objects
and purposes in life. Many men who
have never yet taken an excursion on the
hurricane-deck of our goat, and some
women, too, have an idea that we are
never possessed of a serious thought.
They're 'way off the reservation in this
respect.
Next year we will tell you more of
our secrets maybe.
Hoping you will enjoy the play and
have sweet dreams after you retire to
night, and every night, for that matter,
and that you will give us another lift
next season, we bid you good night.

Reconsiders His Determination
to
Withdraw Prom the Race For

Mr. Brooke ha3 been hovering between

backbone is Mr. David Mulvane, who
does not want to see Mr. Brooke sup
planted by a man who would not vote
for Burton. Mr. Mulvane is keeping his
eye on the progress of the Burton cam
paign, and he will not neglect anything
that will advance the interests of his
candidate. Mr. Brooke told his friends

Sims wouldn't scare he allowed himself
to be persuaded that he might win.

An Editor's Life Saved by Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy.
During the early part of October, 1S96, I
contracted a bad cold which settled on my
lungs and was neglected until I feared
that consumption had appeared in an in
cipient state. I was constantly coughing
and trying to expel something which I
could not. I became alarmed and after
giving the local doctor a trial bought a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and the result was immediate improve
ment, and after I had used three bottles
my lungs were restored to their healthy
state. B. S. Edwards, Publisher of The

HIS FAITHFUL WIFE.
Saves a Hough Rider From a Long
Imprisonment in Cuba.
New York, Feb. 23. A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says:
Emilio Cassi, who was a bugler in
the Rough Riders, has been released
from jail by Governor General Wood,
Cassi was serving a three years' sen
tence for having killed Lieut. Martinez
of the Cuban army last March.
Cassi at the time was lieutenant of
police, and the shooting occurred dur
ing the progress of a fight in the In-
giaterra hotel over the distribution of
the $3,000,000 among Cuban veterans.
Cassi was born in Italy, but is an
American citizen. Feeling ran high
against him among Cubans, who threat
ened lynching.
A wealthy Cuban girl. Miss Castillo,
became infatuated with Cassi and mar
ried him in jail about a month after
his imprisonment. She had given away
a fortune to the revolutionists during
the waT, and after the marriage ap
pealed to General Gomez to use his
influence for her husband.
Gomez refused because Cassi is an
American citizen. Since then she has
spent another fortune striving to gain
her husband's release. She pleaded
with Governor General Woods, Gov
ernor Roosevelt. President McKinley
and the military authorities here.
Nothing daunted her. To gain her
purpose she offered jailors large bribes
until orders were issued denying her
entrance to the prison.
She disclosed to the military authori
ties last summer a plot of Cubans to
blow up the Tacon theater and another
municipal building in Santa Clara on
the night of the Fourth of July. The
information caused alarm in military
circles and for ht-r conduct her hus
band's pardon was promised if the con
spirators were arrested. Havana was
put under military guard that night,
and a regiment of soldiers watched the
buildings in Santa Clara. An attempt
was made at both places, exactly ac
cording to details furnished by Mrs.
Cassi. Three men were caught in the
act of placing packages of dynamite
under the Tacon theater.
Since Governor General Wood's ar
rival he has taken an interest in the
case, and considering Cassi's heroism at
Santiago he granted the pardon. Cassi
left Havana secretly atter ms release
and will probably go to the United
States with his wife immediately, as he
fears death at the hands of the Cubans.
