they were in hopeless minority, and
the subject was discussed in all its

very important citizens. Mrs. Smith,

"ALABAMA.''
1t will Be Here Monday Night-"Two
Old Cronfes" and Faust"

1t will Be Here Monday Night-"TwO
Old Cronfes" and s'Faust."
Topeka theater goers may now turn
be at the Grand on Monday night. Gala
bama" is story of the south and is said
to be real almost to fault There is a
great deal about it that is genuine pa
thos and genuine comedy. Frank Bangs,
who played 'Jim, the Penman' in A. NJ
Palmer's company, takes the role of Col
Prescott and Miss Engine Barr takes
the title role. Augustus Thomas, the
author, was formerly q Kansas City
newspaper reporter and has lots of
friends in the west who are glad of his
good fortune. The company that will be
at the Grand in the piece Monday is the
only company playing it. The Kansas
City papers speak well of it. 1t has been
at the Grand in that city this week.
On Tuesday night t'Two Old Cronies"
will be at the Grand "Two Old Cronies''
is very old show. 1t has pleased Ger.
tain class of theater-goers, and is still
running. This year it has for a feature
Carlotta, the dancer. Tits still owned by
John B. Wills, who plays one of the prin-
cipal parts.
Lewis Morrison's 'sFaust" without Mr.
Morrison as Mephisto, but with Miss
Rosabel Morrison as Marguerite, will be
at the Grand in all its-satanic-majesty
on Wednesday night Faust" has been
in Topeka often, and has nearly always
had good houses. 1t is one of the pieces
that are not only pretty, but exciting.

while the rate for full sheep is nearly IS
per cent lower. Composition is reduced
from so cents to 70 cents.
Mr.. Rohrbaugh and Mr. Beekman
spoke against the bill. They said the re-
duction ought to be made in the amount
of printing done and by cutting of USE
less reports of boards, rather than by q
reduction of rates.
Mr. Ballinger said he only cared for
the first two sections of the bill and urg-
ed the necessity of adopting them. The
house concluded though, that the whole
thing was good enough to pass, which
suited Mr.. Ballinger just as well
The first section prescribes the manner
in which the state printer shall be elect
cd AID removes the ambiguity of the
present law, which is just now causing
SO much trouble. It provides that he
shall be elected by majority of the
members elected to both houses. The
second section is designed to cut off use
less printing by creating printing board
consisting of the secretary of state, treas
urer and attorney general, which shall
pass upon the orders to be sent to the
printer.
The appropriation made last night for
the printing for the next two years was
small one compared with the two pre-
ceding years It was only $4,000,
while for the last two $4,000 was al
lowed, besides $4,000 by a deficiency
appropriation this session, making 1914,
600 altogether.
The present allowance is considered
especially small because of the new ap-
pellate court, which will require vast
amount of printing. It is estimated by
Mr. Ballinger thar no less than $4,000
OF the appropriation will be required to
do this alone. This would cut the amount
which would be ordinarily required for
regular work to $4,000
Figuring that 10 per cent will be saved
by the new rates the state will be about
$4,000 in on the next two years work.

lutely pure.

place them in my hands before that time,
or to be present at that meeting and file
their charges in writing. Although Mr..

Mr.. Lambert Says the Stock Yards Inves-
tigatton Was Absolutely Useless.


tigatton Was Absolutely Useless.
The bill to regulate the Kansas City
stock yards seems to be one of the things
which the house is determined not to
touch upon. There is something SO
sacred about these big institutions, cor
porations and companies that the house
doesn't feel worthy even to look upon
them without a reverential bow. Mr..
Lambert of Lyon has made two unsuc-
cessful efforts to get the bill made a
special order, and the sub committee of
which he is chairman, has requested the
whole live stock committee to recon-
mend a special order when it reports,
which it will probably do today.
Mr.. Lambert of Lyon, who was dele
gated to make the abstract of the testi-
mony, has completed the work and re-
ported to the committee on live stock.
He is Disguised with the result of the
investigation, and says the testimony is
absolutely valueless.
1.-THE testimony TAKEN" said he, sis no
more than could have been got from the
published statement of the business of
the yards and the commission men. The
committee might as well never have
gone down. They could have sent for
some of the shippers and questioned
them here and found out more than they
brought out by all the testimony. It
shows nothing at all
SIT is all very nice business accord
ing to the testimony. Tbs committee
asked them few questions and they
said they gave good weights and didn't
cheat and didn't do anything that was
wrong. As l said the other day, they
asked the defendants if they were guilty
and they said they weren't The com
mittee seems to have concluded they
were pretty good fellows after all, that
things were not bit as represented to
be, and that the stockyards gave advant.

never thought of when they were so
jealous in their denunciation of the out

MIR. EoksrE1N's HAPPY SPEECH.
A Final and Unsuccessful Attempt to GET
the Wichita Normal.

A Final and Unsuccessful Attempt to Get
the Wichita Normal.
Mr.. Eckstein made gallant ight in the
house yesterday afternoon for his darling,
the Wichita normal school bill
He delighted the house with speech
In which he glided gracefully from
humor to irony aud from irony to serious
argument His pleasing talk secured
him a reconsideration of the vote by
which his bill was defeated, but when
the roll was called on the passage of the
bill it was again defeated.
Mr.. Ecxstein said he hardly knew
what wagon he was following, and relat-
ed a humorous story of two Irish pail
bearers who agreed not to look up dur
ing the procession. A great stencil arose
during the march and they were very
curious to know what was the matter
Neither dared to look up or he would
lose his bet. Finally their curiosity be-
came too great and one looked up.
Sure and phWat's the mather, Pat"
said one
"Indade," answered the other, ''there's
mather enough, the procession is four
blocks ahead and we're following a gar
bage cart"
This put the house in a good humor
and Mr.. Eckstein comicalIy said: ST can't
go back to my constituents unless [ have
this normal in my pocket If don't get
this reconsideration they will send me
back here next time to get it So please,
Mr.. Brown of Pratt, won't you vote for
my bill? Please, Mr.. Miller of Morris,
won't you vote on my side just once?

we were on the same side. When Mr..
Miller has builded up great reputation
in this state, when his wonderful work
has been handed down to posterity,
want it said that for one little time l
voted on the same side as the gentleman
from Morris"
This ironical sally pleased most of the
members and they laughed heartily. Mr.
Eckstein then stated his case in seri-
Gus, forceful way. The reconsideration
was had and the bill voted down, 53 to

OMAHA, March 2.-The protracted

The Union Pacific bridge gang has

Three spans of the Burlington bridge
at Columbus have been swept away. and
for a while it looked as if the entire
