MUSIC AND DRAMA.
PORTLAND THEATRE.

PORTLAND THEATRE.
At Portland Theatre the comedy of "Ro-
sale" continues to please. Burnham and
Phillips do funny act, and with the songs
and dances by the various members of the
company the audience has plenty to enjoy.
1t is the regular thing now to hear encores
and Portland audiences are losing the char
acter of being hard to please.
PAVILION THEATRE.
At the Pavilion Theatre ICON, the Shaugh-
raun," is making fast friends. McCallum
here takes the part of "Con" in mastery
style, and it is admitted that this is his
strongest character. The remainder of the
company is good. and the play runs smooth
ly. Secure seats at Chandler's AMI take the
Casco Bay line. Miss Harrington, the
wListling soubrette, will appear today as
Moya Dolan.
GREENWOOD GARDEN.
Next week a season of opera will be intro
duced. "Billy Taylor" and "Olivette" will
be presented the first week by the Gaiety
Opera Company of Springfield. Two plays
will be given each week for the remainder
of the season.

THE Markets.

The receipts of live stock at the Union
stock yards for the past week has been
cattle. !, 72S; hogs, 5,2l4, against ala cat
tie and 4, 0S9 hogs for the week previous
The shipments were 1909 cattle, 3,419
hogs. The cattle receipts show decrease,
but the hog receipts increased /, FPS The
quality OF the hogs has been better the
past week than for some weeks past. The
price paid has been a little in advance of
that of week before last, but has declined
5 to 10 cents in the last two days. The
market of the past week has been more
satisfactory TO country buyers than the
one just prior, being active most of the
time and steady. The increase in receipts
show that country shippers regard this
market with favor as compared TO Kansas
City, being nearer 10 them and conse-
quently they suffer less from shrinkage on
stock and have less freight 10 pay. The
showing made by the Wichita live stock
market will compare favorably with that
made by any new market in the middle or
western states

THE WHY OF THE DELAY.

The Wichita Electric Railway company
has been greatly delayed in putting in the
system by inability to get all the material
For some days it has been impossible TO
make any Roadway at the station owing TO
the inability to get steam pipe. The en-
CINE for steam power is set and with pipe
three or four days would find the engine
completed ready for the work. Two dy-
namos each one hundred horse power are
in position ready for business. This will
be enough to run the entire system. but
one more dynomO one hundred horse power
is expected to arrive within IA few days.
The dynamo at the pillow works one hun.
dred horse and the dynamo at the River
side station is an eighty horse These will
be brought to the central station, but the
move can be done without impairing the
service.
AS soon as the Sapta Fe crossing at
Douglas is paved the completion of the
College Hill line will soon follow The
entire system can be completed within a
few days as soon as the company can COM
mence work.
The company is having some trouble
with the ten cars ordered at Kansas City.
The cars have been completed but do not
conform to the contract and hence some
trouble about accepting them. The very
best car known was ordered, but in some
features the job does not conform to the
specifications. The management does not
want to pay first class prices and get
second class cars. 1t is not known yet
what VII be the result. In the event the
order is placed with another company
there would undoubtedly be a delay of
some months yet, which is a bad feature
The company has on hand about all the
motors and are delayed in receiving the
body of the cars.

NOLAWFOR PARK BONDs.

There was some discussion yesterday
about park bond matters The council
had decided to submit to the people the
proposition to vote $4,000 bonds for the
purchase of the Greiffenstein park and an
investigation by some of the attorneys
results in the opinion that there is no pro-
vision in the state law granting the city
power to vote an Indebtedness for that
purpose. Should this be accepted as the
law, then it will be considered useless to
have the bond proposition voted upon.
This, according to one concerned in the
matter, calls for some legislation. Consid-
cradle advantageous legislation re.ating
to cities of the first GLASS was passed at the
last session of the legislature and more is
thought to be in demand this year.

FINE APPLES.

The Possibilities of Kansas and espe-
cially of the Arkansas valley for fruit
seem as yet but little appreciated or under
stood. Such peaches as have reached our
table this season were never surpassed by
any country. Grapes never fail. This
year for the first time since the settlement
of the country grapes were cut somewhat
by an unusual late frost. Now Mr.. Joseph
Starr sends us eleven apples that fill a
basket which holds about "A peck, or forty
four apples to the bushel. They are the
Rome Beauty, we should judge. Every
apple is sound, perfect in form and the
most highly colored In his note to us he
asks who can beat them?" We con-
tidently answer, no one. He says he has
already picked over one hundred bushels
of this same sort this fall
