IN SECRET CAUCUS.
Row the Populists Are Putting up
Township Tickets.

A new wrinkle has been discovered
b , the Populists OF this county in
n ominating township tickets. BY order
o the car at Topeka secret caucuses
a re being held in each township. The
faithful are gathered together some
Ozark night and the ticket nominated,
then each attendant is hound to secrecy
t,s to who is nominated with the
intention of makiDga still hunt until
election day when it is proposed to put
ON the names and vote the whole
thing without break.
Such tactics are unbecoming to
American citizens and to Kansans and
the very method used will cast sus-
picion upon the motives that prompt
1t and will disgust every right thinking
citizen.
Furthermore 1t will miscarry because
the Australian ballot law makes 1t
necessary to have the whole ticket
printed in advance along with the
county ticket and there can be no
secret processes or hiding of candidates
until the last moment. 1t really seems
TO be an effort for the new moral re-
form party to be even decently honest.

Armory Opera House.

1t is vouchsafed to but few Of us to break
down the barrier between the seen and
unseen world, and do before an audience
in a brilliantly lighted room those feats Of
the marvellous which were IN old times
associated with darkness and mystery, If
not crime itself, and which have com
manded the interest and fascinated the
imagination of men, women and children
alike from the earliest times. Kellar,
easily the first of modern magiclans, is to
appear on the 18th day of October fresh
from a long and triumphant summer
season in Days New York Theatre, and
with the same performance and company
which then and there won such hearty
praises from the critical audiences. Con
spicuous among the features which he will
introduce here for the first time are to be
these marvels of the art of the modern
magician: "Flyto," "Astarte, the Maid of
the Moon" who dances upon nothing;
"Out of Sight. or the Phantom Brides"
"Cagliostro, or the CasSadega Propaganda"
"Karmos, " in which Mrs. Kellar assists
him in an absolutely unapproachable exhi-
bition of thought transmission; his own
Davenport seance, which has never been
equalled; his slight-of hand tricks which
are absolutely new, and last and most
wonderful of alias may well infer from
its name-"0h," " in which without advan
tageous aid Kellar causes living, breath
ing human being to disappear in flash
and to vanish into thin air under the vary
eyes of the audience, and that too on
brilliantly lighted stage.
ROBERT DowENG-TUEsDAY, OCT. 18th.
Robert Downing, the American TRACED
ian is one of the successful actors who
maintain in private lite a popularity as
eHdearing as the esteem in whicn they are
held as actors. In his own home, Wash
ington, DC, he is the recipient of unusual
social honars, and throughout the country
he has already taken warm place in the
hearts of those who are brought in contact
with stage folks once occupied by John
Mccullough. Mr. Downing is a gentleman
of refined nature, scholarly tastes, and has
withal an innate amiability and cOmpan-
condolences OF temperament which attract
to him the choice spirits of the Bohemian
world-artists, writers, and professional
men of education. In this connection iC is
worthy of note that Mr.. Browning is dis
tlnctively man of the people. His career
upon the stage has been & cry successful
one. He has accumulated handsome
fortune from his business, which must be
tuken as an evidence that the people ap-
preciate him and that the Sl4.auard drama
has not deteriorated. Mr. Browning is a
man very domestic in his tastes and habits
He has an interesting family, and one of
the most beautiful country places on the
hills overlooking the Potomac, surround
ing the Capital of the nation. His wife,
know to the stage as Eugene Blair, is a
handsome and attractive woman, highly
cultivated, a southern girl by birth, and is
an actress of extraordinary ability. She
has supported some of the best tragedians
in America. Mr.. Downing's pay in Butler
will be the Gladiator, in which he has been
the most successful since John Mccullough.

RUPTURE

Cannot always be cured, but a
properly fitting Truss viii do
more toward curing you than any
thing else. \ small rupture is
more dangerous than large one
but is more readily held in place.
Quite a number of persons who
have been fitted by US have been
entirely cured, but this is not al
ways the case. The sooner we
have them visit US after finding
they are ruptured the more hope
of a complete cure. We make a
specially of Trusses for both
ladies and gentlemen, and give di-
rections for private meas urement
for the former. Al. cases consid-
cred strictly Pyiuafc Buying
Trusses by mail from some person
who says he can cure you is on a
parallel with the number of cures
there are for consumption. If you
have had trouble in being fitted
elsewhere let us try what we can
