I!J RECENT GLASS! Allied Armies . of Capper and Curtis Don't Agree.. Newspaper Candidate Printed Cards That Broke Harmony. "OTESSIYE LEGISLATIOZI" The Prefix Didn't Sound Good to Real Republicans. Thousands of Cards Thrown In Junk Heap. That the tribulations of the Capper Republicans are not confined to the in roads made by Henry- Allen's army, is a persistent rumor now afloat. It is aid that the harmony business is one of the most strenuous businesses ever enraged in by the boss politicians. , The most recent clash between the Capper and Curtis forces, comes about as the result of some political advertis ing. The two armies met in the dark ness, and each mistaking the other for the enemy, some tall shooting ensued until the search lights were brought out by those in command. It has been noticeable, to the smaller Republican publications, . that Mr. Cap per got all, or nearly all of the paid advertising and Job printing, and they were inclined to locate some connection between that fact and the fact that the political advertising for the Repub lican party is largely controlled by one who is related to Mr. Capper's favorite editor. And while they were consider ing this condition. Republican head quarters issued a few wagon loads of cards, printed, of course, in Mr. cap per's job shop, and giving a long list of "Progressive Legislation Knacted by Kansas Republicans" on one side, and on the other, "Progressive Republican Legislation in Congress." That is where the Curtis people balked. The word "Progressive" didn't look good to the followers of a Repub lican candidate for United States sen ator who doesn't use any such prefix in advertising his Republicanism. The re sult was that about a small carload of these perfectly good "Progressive Re publican" advertising cards went to the junk heap in jig time. A special effort was made to recall every one of the awful cards, but a few of them got away in the shuffle. The Day in Congress. Washington. Oct. 8. Senate met at noon.

London, Oct. 8. Telegraphing from Antwerp under date of Sunday, the Times correspondent describes the fighting in connection with the Ger man attempts to cross' the River Nethe. He says: "They had, by aU accounts, a dreadful experience Wednesday night which was described to me there today by officers who were eye-witnesses. The Germans suc ceeded in getting a pontoon completed and they came down to the river bank in solid masses to cross- it. As they came every Belgian gun that could be turned on the spot was concentrated on the Germans and they were blown away, blocks of them at the time, and still the masses came on. "The- Belgian officers spoke with en thusiasm of the steadiness and gal lantry with which, as each company was swept away, another pushed into its place. "At last the bridge went, shattered and blown to bits. The Belgian guns continued for a while to search the opposite river bank but the Germans fell back and no more masses of men came down to where the pontoon had been. Allowing for all exaggerations there can be no doubt that the Ger man loss must have been heavy. DEAII KAYE LECTURES Interesting: Sunday Evening: Feature at Grace Cathedral. A series of Sunday evening lectures and lantern slide pictures will be giv en at Grace Cathedral by Dean J. P. DeB.

The ap pointment of city managers for cities was advocated by Prof. C. A. Dykstra of the University of Kansas at today's session of the League of Kansas Mu nicipalities. "Efficient administration," said he, "requires a centering of responsibility at one point the head demands a measure of stability and permanence and above all requires training and experience. If we want our city af fairs efficiently administered we must say farewell to the election method of choice." RED CROSS PLAY.

Free motion pictures and music Speaking at 8 o clock. Adver.jement Philadelphia, - Oct. 8.-i-"Boston Is not afraid.- Don't think this series is all over before it is played. We are not going into it licked before the game starts. The Braves will give as good an account of themselves in this series - as they did in the National League. , They know all about and re spect the Athletics. Connie Mack has a mighty good ball club. I have a ball club myself, and when this series Is over I expect many more persons to join me in my opinion of the team's superiority." Seated under . a blazing electric horsesohe in the lobby of the Hotel Majestic Wednesday night, George S tailings, manager of the Boston Na tional League baseball club, reflected in his views of the forthcoming con tests with Connie Mack's Athletics a radiance that the gigantic emblem of good luck could not outshine. "Don't believe, all this talk about having only three pitchers available ior tne series," continued stallings. "Otto Hess will pitch good ball. He is a veteran of the American League. He is a lefthander and has faced the Athletics many times. ' "Then that talk about the White Elephans being weak before lefthand ers. Ask Rube Marquard about it. They appear able to hit pretty nearly every kind of pitching, even if some twlrlers do seem to worry them. But remember, Boston is not alone a pitching club. Our team has some hitters and we do not feel weakened, althoug Smith is out of the lineup." Stallings would ;.ot venture a predic tion as to the length of the series nor would he forecast his pitching selec tion for the opening game. AT THE THEATERS. At the Grand. "The Girl From Out Yonder,'.' Ade laide Thurston's beautiful play as pro duced by the Car-Rob company at the Grand this week is giving the very best of satisfaction and is considered by many as the most pleasing play of the engagement. Miss Robinson is at her best as Flotsam, the little child of the sea and her lights and shades are beautifully drawn and in the third act where she parts from her father scarce ly a dry eye is to be-found in the house. Excellent comedy work is being done by Dick Eliot and Hattie Johnson and the entire company render good sup port. Next week "The, Red Cross Nurse" a military play in four acts will be pro duced for the benefit of the Red Cross society. Percentage of the gross re ceipts for the entire week will be do nated by Managers Carter and Craw ford. Numerous local societies are backing this worthy movement and will sell tickets which can be exchanged at the theatre box office for reserved seats. There will be no advance in prices, lower floor thirty cents, balcony twenty cents and rear balcony ten cents. Tick ets are now selling and can be procured at either the theatre box office or from the different committees. At the Cosy. In spte of the threatening weather last night. Marion Leonard sustained her reputation as "The Darling of the Movies," .hiding by the number who at tended the Cozy to see her in "Mother Love." This feature at the Cozy is one of the best emotional photo plays Miss Leonard ever appeared in. It is In six parts. The story is one of those absorbing stories, whose title is well suited to the plot, and gives an excellent setting for the charm of the acting of this favorite actress. At the Orpheum. The Ramo feature advertised for to day "Thou Shalt Not" was postponed until Friday and Saturday owing to a delay in shipment. In its stead Mile. Polaire will be seen in the celebrated novel by "Gyp"' entitled "The -Sparrow." It is a story of circus life pro duced in three acts. Some unusual scenes are to be found in it. Mile. Polaire is the celebrated French ac tress who claims to be the ugliest woman in the world and to have the smallest waist in the world. It was she who startled society by wearing the ivory nose ring, and having the pet pig with the diamond collar. Episode 16 of the Million Dollar Mystery is of unusual interest and in cludes several exciting scenes. At the Novelty.

The Melody Maids are accom plished musicians of the first water and will undoubtedly score another of their numerous hits. Another new and novel offering is that of Arthur Stone and Marion Hayes in "Green Goods," where the adventures of a "town clown" with the cane-rack girl at a street fair create a world of-fun for this clever pair to revel in. The Three Flying Kays is an offering of unusual merit and originality, finish ing with their famous lop-the-loop. Kinzo, a clever Japanese Juggler, and Jack Dresden in "10 Minutes of Fool ishness" complete the showing for to day, tomorrow and Saturday. At the Hip. Uncle Bill, Vitagraph's Broadway Star feature, will be shown for the last time at the Hip tonight. Uncle Bill is an exceptionally good comedy with just enough -story 'to make it interest ing. "The Aggressor," Lubin's two act drama which is shown in conjunction with the above is also a good feature drama being far above the ordinary both as to acting and story. Commenc ing matinee tomorrow the Hip will offer "Loyalty.'' a five act Electic fea ture an unusual drama of love and de votion, replete with many sensational occurrences notably the thrilling bal loon ascentton.

BOOST HORSE MARKET European War Will Create Demand w - American uorses. Washington, Oct. 8. The increased demand In European countries for American horses, caused by the war. presents an excellent opportunity to farmers of the United States, the de partment of agriculture announced to. day. It is stated that this demand may continue ior a oecade or longer, as when peace is restored more horses will be needed for agriculture. Al ready, it la said, agents of European nations are trying to buy horses in this country and Canada. It is emphasized that only horses of nign quality may be profitably raised today. -: Inferior horses are a drug on the market. Next to Russia the United States has more horses than any other country and the two together possess 68 per cent of the world supply. It is con servatively estimated that one million horses now are engaged in the war. The German army requires for a com plete mobilization 770,000 and the French artillery is said to need 250,000 these figures, however probably in cluding only those animals used by cavalry men. The United States previously had been drawn on to supply European countries at war. In the Boer war more than 100,000 horses were bought here by Great Britain. It is consid ered doubtful, however, whether a for eign government could at this time ob tain a similar supply in this country except at excesslve cost.
