CLIMAX OF INDECENCY.

Obscene Advertisements in the Opera
House Programmes Ordered Out by L.
NJ Crawford
An obscene and indecent advertise
ment which has appeared in the last two
issues of the Grand opera house pro-
grammes was ordered out this morning
by l. ~ Crawford, the owner of the
Grand opera house. and the people who
attend the performances hereafter may
do so with the assurance that they will
not be insulted through the programmes
which are handed to them by the ushers
The advertisement was inserted in the
programme issued for the Primrose s.
West minstreis, and many people did
not notice it, while those that did sup
posed that it was inadvertently inserted
in the programme and would be taken
out before another was issued. Imagine
their surprise when they saw the same
disgusting thing held before their eyes
last night
Many people in the opera house were
indignant
The opera house was for the time rem :
dered an unfit place to bring ladies or
children, where their eyes would fall on
this piece of printed indecency.
L. NJ. Crawford was not in the city
when the first issue containing the ad-
vertisement appeared. and when his at
tention was called to it this morning he
Immediately ordered it taken down.
II do not see" said he, show in the
world that ever got into the programmes.
1t was surely done without reading. It
will not appear again and would not
have been printed the second time if
had been here. l was not in the city
when Primrose & West were here"

Socia1Istfc Labor Party Com M m crate the
Death of the Anarchists.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12-John D. Rockefel-
Ter was called hard names at the meet
ing of the Chicago Socialistic Labor
party and the University of Chicago was
named the Chicago Standard Oil uuiver-
sity. The appellation was made by Jesse
Cox in speech during the progress OF a
meeting held in ReuhPs hall in West
Twelfth street in coInmemoration of the
execution of Spies, Parsons and their
comrades.
MIR. Cox said there were two kinds OF
anarchists in this country. One was the
kind that looked forward to the
time when there would be no gov
eminent and when men would live
together as brothers. The other WAS the
kind that never counseled throttling the
law, but which took the law by the throat
and choked it whenever the occasion
demanded.
Oscar w. Neebe presided. Neebe said
that this meeting was in the nature of a
memorial 'for the judicial murder of
labor leaders in 1886"
The speaker said that one wing of the
Socialistic party had all along held that
the wrongs of the working people could
be righted through the ballot box, but
that this has been made impossible be-
cause of certain criminal politicians He
shifted to the shoulders of that class all
of the events that had taken place dur
ing the last ten years.

WINTER BAND CONCERTS

MarshaIPs Band May Give a Series If
Favorable Arrangements Can Be Made.
1t is possible that Topeka will not lose
her 10 cent Narshal's band concerts
after all, in spite of the winter winds and
snow and ice.
The band has just received lot of
and is preparing to give its annual con-
cert about the middle of January, earlier
than usual

The idea is to engage Hamilton hall
for one night in each week for about
same order as those given at the park
will be the same, 10 cents.
1t is suggested that these concerts
take the form OF promenade concerts"
The chairs may be placed in the center
of the room in such a way that a wide
path for promenading will be left around
the outside and as center aisle People

walking could be easily obviated by

first thought of this concert idea aud
Mr. Marshall is in favor of trying it. At
the summer concerts the number in at

figure Mr.. Jones believes that at least

WE'VE STRUCK BOTTOM.

Dramatic Entertainment In Topeka
Reached its Lowest Depth Last Night
One could scarcely witness Grimes
Cellar Door" at the Grand last night
without feeling of pity and sorrow.
Topeka has reached its lowest ebb,
dramatically speaking. If one had any
humane feelings at all he could not help
feeling pity for the poor mortals who
tumbled about the stage, screamed ut
the tops of their voices, and thought
they were acting" Twenty years ago,
before farce comedy began. falling down
on the stage and down stairs was thought
to be fun. One man alone slipped and
fell seventeen times last night in one
scene by actual count These people
were born years too late. At most other
places "Grimes' Cellar Door" plays for
90 cents, but 81 was charged here.
The small audience that sprin kIed the
central part of tho house, however, re-
manned through the performance. AS
long as the spectators won't express
their disapproval of a bad performance
by getting up in the midst Of it and
leaving in squads, as they ought to do.
bad performances will be heaped on
them. It is partly the supineness of To-
peka theater goers that is responsible
for the way they are treated.
There are 10 be several other entertain
ments at the Grand opera house. but we
are not yet ready to recommend them,
not knowing but that they may be some
new form of imposition.

Frances E. Willard is a convert to the

this work has been successful. as viewed

per cent of the reformed have drifted

DELAYS ARE MANY
When Citizens Desire to Pave
Street or Alley.
ELEVENTH STREET PEOPLE DELAYED.

a short Session Of the City Council
Held last NiEht-MinOr Matters
Acted On.
When the property owners petitioned
for the paving OF Eleventh street be-
tween Van Buren, and Harrison, they
made a mistake in not giving the width
of the street.
For that reason it was necessary TO do
everything over that had been done
toward securing the pavement new
petition was presented last night and the
city attorney raised the question of
whether the men who signed the petition
really owned the property.
This occasioned another delay. and the
petition was referred to the committee
on paving.
The paving of the alley back of the
new court house Jared better and the
ordinance for the issuance of bonds to
pay for the paving was passed and the
city clerk instructed to advertise for six
days for bids for the paving.

EUGENE QUINT0N'S IDEA

On Over Judgments and Confirmation
of Sales of Property.
The question of whether the state
courts can or can not refuse to confirm
the sales of property taken under mort
gage foreclosures is still being discussed
by The lawyers, but a test case has not
yet been heard.
E. 5. Quinton, who has been making4a
special study of the law on the question
has made some important discoveries,
and he thinks that it will remove the
last obstacle in the way of district judges
refusing to confirm sales when the prop
erty is bid off at ridiculously low price.
In speaking about Judge Fosters
action in refusing 'over judgments" in
cases il the United States district court
Mr.. Quinton said:
"lt seemed to be conceded that the
rule could obtain in the United States
court only by reason of that courts

were restricted in the confirmation of

which was destroyed by fire several
