AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.
The audiewe who saw the curtain
?" up fti the first act of Augustus
Thomas' latest drama. "Arizona." at the
'raw ford liist nit;ht cmld almost smell
tr, sage brush, taste the alkali and feel
the prick of the cactus of that wild ter
ritory, ao reaiistic was the play to the
locality.
The story is laid in the Aravaipa val-l'-y.
30 niiies from Fort errant near Old
arrp Oiant.ar'd niilesK i'r;m the Gila.
J'i his play of ' Alabama" Mr. Thomas
curried his audiences t trie mapnoiia
Frented Taladega. of that state and "In
Mizzouri" his auJienre? w( re in the typ
ical Pike county. Perhaps no play-v.-risrht
can jrraep that subtle Ingredient
ifo necessary to a pviccesful portrayal, li
cal color, so weli as Mr. Thomas. Kvery
1ttle detail tf "Aiizuna" in the scenery
Htiil the drcilnff of the play is carried
cut to a r.tcety. When the cavalrymen
rr: V"? in their typical frontier uniforms
1 r-T.i a SiJ miles ride they are covered
rwith the alkali dust of the desert. The
ctAVboya wear the tyfical shapajaroa
find bii Mexican ppurs. The vaquero is
typical from his half Greaser, half Eng
lish cuss words to the everlasting- Mex
ican brown paper cigarette. The bis red
bandannas are knotted about the necks
ff the men with the tied ends behind
the neck so that the bulk of the colth
can be raised to the mouth, t-yes and
nose to wipe away the sting of the set
tling dust. The bis soft felt hats are
twisted and punched in exactly in the
manner which is so characteristic of the
cavalryman and the rancher. The stal
v art ol 1 rancher, t'anhy. is typical in
1 ! gruff wajs and sayings but as he ex
plains it in Arizona they are "shy on
water, but have a whole lot of charity
i r w omen."
The company which presented "Ari
Eora" last right is a good one and
vorthy to sueceed the original company.
3ast reason the Tupcka theater groers
liad a chance to see the original com
pany, now making- such a success at the
3ierald S-iuare theater in New York. and
the second company compares well. Jas.
K. Fulton as "Henry Canhy," owner of
the Aravaipa ranch, was not quite equal
to the oripln.-U. Theodore Roberts, as he
had to borrow a deal more of the swasr
trer and gruffness of the rancher but he
si as not displeasing. Frazier Coulter as
"t'ol Konham" does not compare well
with last year's character. Kleanor
A ilton as "Mrs. Canhy." the wife of the
rancher, was deci iedly clever in the por
trayal of the character who hated Ari
zona so much because jshe could not
wear bed diamonds ard "had to let the
clock run down to know when it was
f uniay," because of the loneBomeness of
te place. Orac Thome as "Eitrella
Konham." wife of the colonel, was good
and in comparison makes the part decid
edly better than it was last season.
"Iena Keilar." a small part, is well han
dled by Carrie Reynolds.
Lionel Karrymore as "Ueut. Denton,"
the hero is a surprise. He was under
study to the character with the company
last season and handled a smaller part
in a manner which would prive no one a
suspicion of his ability. As the heroic,
honorable and wronged officer and man
he injected a naturalness into the part
which was pleasing:. At no time did he
step out of or overdo the part. "Bonita
Canhy," by Laura Almor.sina, is a most
trying part when it has been created by
such an actress as r.leanor Robson but
Miss Almonsino handled it in a pleasing
manner. The love scene with Denton
still remains the same charming little
bit of love making and has lost none of
its flavor in the hands of the two new
players.
Charles I.ane as "Captain Hodgraan,"
was a capital villain, so good that the
audience was glad to see him killed.
Catherine Countess as the school teach
er, did the small part well and gave Ben
D. Dean as "D. it. Fenlon," a chance for
some funny remarks about the absence
of suspenders from his wardrobe. Wil
lard Curtis as "Tony Mostana, a va
quero." was about as perfect a Mexican
as he could be. His vernacular, gait and
songs were just as a real Mexican would
make them. His gleaming teeth, cigar
ettes and leather clothes were tpyical.
Charles E. Mitchell, as "Sergeant Kei
lar." was a gruff old German sergeant In
every move and speech. He seemed to
have been transplanted from Fort Grant
to the stage in an instant. In all the
company is a strong one and the play
does not suffer In any instance.
The scenery with the play this year
was perhaps, better than last year as it
has leen arranged to fit small stages like
the Crawford. The patio scene of Can
by's hacienda was painted with a real
ism which seemed to have stolen the col
ors from the adobe walls and tiled and
thatched roofs of the territory and
placed them on the canvas. There was
a typical Mexican ox cart, too, and the
hot sun beating on the desert and the
heat rising from the sands could almost
be felt w hen the audience looked through
the big gate and imagined the sand
stretch between, there and the next place,
wherever it might be.
The play is not without comedy and
when "Canby," in speaking of "Col. Bon
ham" and his wife says that he "has
broke colts to go double," but doesn't
know how to break the colonel and his
wife there is a titter and when "Denton"
informs him that he loves ids daughter,
the old rancher is excited, but controls
himself and makes a sudden move for
his right hand pistol pocket. "Denton."
however, is too quick for him and draws
his Colt's with finger on the trigger and
covering the ranchman is ready for "a
shootin' scrape" but the old rancher was
not after a gun, he thought in his ex
citement that he needed a cooling bite
of "the weed" and he draws from his
pocket a. pouch of finecut and takes a
supply on board. No "gun play" after
all and the audience sees comedy enough
in that.
"Arizona" is certainly one of the best
plays written by an American author,

Animal Keeper Gets Into the
Wrong Cage.
Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 15. Albert
Neilson, aged 15 years, employed as an
animal keeper at the Zoological garden
in this city, was killed by a Bengal
tiger today. He entered the cage in
which the tiger was confined and was
attacked by the beast. A terrible strug
gle followed in which Neilson was
torn in a hundred places. Hed hot irons
were thrust into the blood-thirsty ani
mal, but not until seven bullets had been
tired into his body did it reiase its hold
on its victim. Neilson was dragged from
the cage more dead than alive and was
hurried to the city hospital where he
died as he was being carried in.
The tiger was not fatally wounded.
Neilson lived at Piqua, O., and had been
employed by the Zoo company three
years. He was in charge of the lion
cubs and it is supposed opened the
tiger's cage by mistake.

FLOWERS FOE WEILEP.
Irish-American League Appreciates.
His Ideas of "Loyalty."
The Irish-Americans of Topeka put
themselves on record today. They pre
sented Ed Weilep, representative from
Cherokee countv. with a large floral
harp. In recognition of his work in the
house Thursday. The letter of thanks
for sympathy expressed at Victoria's
death had gone upon the house journal
when Weilep objected to it and was suc
cessful in having It expunged from the
record. The clause to which Weilep ob
jected was that in which the word
"loyalty" was used, as expressing the
relation now existing between King
Edward "VII and the sovereign state of
Kansas. The harp was placed upon his
desk while he was at dinner.
NEW STXFFBAGE BILL.
Hr. Hamer's Measure Allows Women
to Vote For President
Representative R. M". Hamer, of Lyon,
introduced a bill in the house this morn
ing granting suffirage to women to vote
for the president of the United States.
The bill goes no further" than this one
proposition, but if successful, would
mean the entering wedge to give the fair
sex universal suffrage in Kansas. The
enacting clause reads: "That hereafter
in all elections for presidential electors
in the state of Kansas the right to vote
shall not be abridged with regard to sex;
women shall be permitted to vote th
same as men, under like qualifications
and restrictions as men.
Out in the irrigation country the peo
ple suffer inconveniences through the ir
rigation companies, building their canals
across the public highways and not pro
viding any other means of passage but
to ford them. Representative Cobun has
a bill in to compel the companies to
build bridges over the irrigation canals
wherever they cross the roads.
As a support and ptrengthener to the
anti-trust law the bill introduced by
Representative Willits) is supposed to
operate, if it should get through. The
amendment proposed m the bill, which
was drawn by Former Senator Kimball
of Parsons, provides for an action, for
damages to treble the amount or suf
ferance and makes competent the testi
mony of dealers in the same kind of
commodities as to the questions of cost
and prices. ' . - i
HTJKKELL'S BILL ADVANCES.
It la Heady For Third Beading in the

Senator Hurrell's bill declaring joints
public nuisances and making the hnd
ing of liquor or bar fixtures prima
tacie evidence of unlawful sale, has been
reported by the house temperance com
mittee, ordered printed and advanced

The senate killed the county attorney
inquisition bill for the house. The pres
ent house is strongly prohibition in the

WThat action it may take on Senator
Hurrell's drastic prohibition law is con
jectural.

NO NIBBLER.
An Old Fish Knows Good Bait From
Poor.
A good old family Doctor down hi
Edenburg, Miss., says he is not afraid to
tell the truth about coffee and its effect
on him and the remarkable change pro
duced by leaving off and taking Postum
Food Coffee in its place.
He used coffee formally years.and says,
"Of late years I have been so nervous
that I dreaded to perform an operation,
and my eyesight had bothered me a con
siderable. I think about two years ago
I first heard of Postum Food Coffee, and
gave it a trial. I am not quick to bite at
humbugs, but the change in my physical
condition brought about by leaving off
coffee- and taking Postum Food Coffee
was a complete surprise. I began to eat
well, sleep well, and in just tnree months
my eyesight was restored, my nerves
strong, headaches disappeared, and my
chronic catarrh of thirteen years stand
ing was cured with little or no treatment
except the change in coffee.
I am today stout, erect, and weigh 20
pounds more than I did before giving up
coffee. I have an extensive practice and
have had very satisfactory results among
jny patients where I have induced them
to leave off coffee and take Postum in
its place.
Coffee is ruining and destroying thou
sands of our young Americans, and it is
a pleasure to know of a nutritious and
palatable breakfast beverage that re
builds the nervous system rather than
tears it down, as the old coffee does.
It may interest you to know that we
had much the same experience as many
others when we first began to prepare
Postum. We boiled it in a desultory sort
of way for a few- minutes and the pro
duct was not satisfactory. Turning to
the directions we discovered the fault
ar.d from that time we have followed
those directions which are simple
enough, with the most satisfactory re
suits in point of flavor and food value.
With my best wishes for your contin
ued success." Dr. A. G. Alston.

ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Would Not Induce Mrs. O'Connor to
Quit the Use of Burton's Sanatory
Milk.
Topeka, Kas., Jan. 27, 1901.
To Mothers: I wish to recommend
"Burton's Sanatory Milk" for' infants
and invalids in the highest possible
terms.
My babe is now the embodiment of
health and vigor, and had it not been
for this milk I do not believe he would
be alive. Not for one thousand dollars
would we change him from this diet.
While in Chicago we used the Walker
Gordon milk, but while it sells lor
double the price, it is not one-half so
good. Gratefully,
MRS. JOSEPH W. O'CONNOR.
Note. Joseph W. O'Connor is the
contractor on the federal building, but
his home is in Chicago.

May touched 75c and closed a shade
lower at Tntc.
CORN There was a large trade in corn
early. The tone of aggressive strength,
which has been noticeable lately, is still
in evidence. Country offerings were light,

000 bushels. May opened JgC higher at

cables were c lower today and barring
strength in corn, grain markets were in
clined to weakness. Northwest receipts
were smaller than a year ago by lr-9 cars
and their markets were weaker than Chi
cago. Volume of business was small and
old time tracers are intiuitu w
hard spots and keep short a moderate
line, figuring that the market Is too high
on its merits and that a break of 8 or 10
cents a bushel is sure to come sooner or
later. The news and statistics are all
bearish, but a short interest seems to ac
cumulate every time the market starts
down and they run to cover on the first
sign of tn advance, causing these sharp
bulges of late. We see nothing in the
situation to warrant buying, except for a
small scalping profit, and on the other
hand we believe good long profits can be
made by selling short on bulges and ex
ercising a little patience. Estimated cars

again today. To start with, cables came
id higher, sympathizing fully with our
advance of yesterday, and this induced
shorts to cover freely, advancing the
price to 407c for May. There was con
siderable offered on the advance and the
market dropped back and closed at a
small gain over yesterday's closing prices.
Corn is in a strong position. Short sellers
are few and scattered, while the bulla
are powerful and concentrated. Estimat
ed cars tomorrow, 276.
OATS Oats were quiet and featureless.
PROVISIONS Provisions were. not act
ive today. There were 30.000 hogs at the
vnrrlq wltb rtrices slow and a shade
lower. Mav pork closed with a loss of
12U.C a barrel from yesterday's closing.
Packers were the sellers early, but mod
erate buvers on the decline, taking good
lots of Mav pork just before the close.
Estimated hogs tomorrow, 25,000.

steady and higher, with a good volume of
