AN ACTORS AFFLICTION.

As Announced 1t Caused the Manager
Sore Distress
In the early stock DAYS of Wash
ington, before the starring system was
in vogue, it often happened that some
bibulous member of the company
sought surcease of sorrow in the flow
ing bowl, says the Washington Post.
Salaries had not reached that fabulous
outline which now prevails, and the
ghost did not always walk, and there
fore, there was always more or less
sorrow to be appeased in the popular
tap rooms about town where the PRO
feSsion' congregated. 1t happened on
one occasion that a too liberal indul-
gence had rendered hOrs de combat one
of the leading members of the COM
pany, who is still a prominent and pop
ular actor to-day. 1t was not the first
time that he had been discovered in
helpless condition just as the curtain
was about to go up, but he was cast for
a leading part on this particular night,
and there was great excitement on the
stage 1t was decided to substitute
another bill, and the question now
turned on the nature of the explana-
ton to be made to the waiting audi
ence.
Announce that Mr.. Brown has had
a sudden attack of cholera morbus or
bowel complaint said the distressed
manager of the theater to the stage
manager.
This worthy was a heavy-voiced in
dividual with a strong Dublin accent
and a Celtic temperament which in
| clined to the humorous. He made his
way before the curtain, bowed, and In
his deep, rolling voice addressed the
audience as follows:
s'Ladies and Gentlemen: l regret to
announce that the management is
obliged to change the bill tonight,
owing to Mr.. Brown, who has had a
severe attack Of bowl complaint"
The audience caught the spirit of the
joke, and, amid general laughter, set
tied down to the enjoyment of the per-
| Torrance.

GEO. HANLEY's HEARING.
The Preliminary Examination In Justice
Furry's Court Today.

The Preliminary Examination In Justice
Furry's Court Today.
The preliminary examination of George
Hanley, who is charged with having
entered the store of johnson s. Nobel, is
occupying today in Justice Furry's court
Will Johnson was on the stand all the
forenoon and this afternoon John Nobel
is being examined.
The accused seems even little thinner
and paler than usual but is perfectly self
possessed and quiet
The story johnson told was about the
same the JOURNAL published at the time.
He said that he and his partner had
missed things until finally they began
taking an inventory of portable articles
before locking up for the night, and
again on opening the store in the morn
ing. They had concluded to watch and
one night Nobel slept in the store and
saw man enter and take some cakes
and then go out through the back door
Nobel did not raise an alarm that time,
but allowed the robber to get away. He
did not know who the man was.
johnson said that on the morning of
the arrest of Hanley they had been dis
turbed by someone entering the hack
room, and they had hid and captured
Hanley in the act of stealing from the
money drawer.
Johnson presented a new phase of the
case this morning when he said on the
stand that Hanley had offered them d
500 note he held against them if they
would let him go, and that finally he
! offered to release the entire mortgage of
| $4,000 for his freedom, but would retain
the notes. Mr.. Hanley says that isn't
| probable, for the notes would be useless
without the mortgage.
The cross examination was conducted
for the defense by Judge j. B. Johnson,
who is associated with E. A Wagner in
the case. Mr.. Ernie represents the
state.
Nebel has been excluded from the
court room during the examination OF
Johnson.
This afternoon Nobel was put on the
stand and is telling his story.
A man named Weber has also been
subpOenaed by the state, whose story is
said to be that he once bought a stock OF
goods of Hanley, and had much the same
experience that johnson swears to.
Chief Wilkersou and Policeman Gun
bingham, who made the arrest, have also
been added to the states witnesses.
The defense expects the prisoner will
be bound over. Very little If any evil
dence will be offered by the defense at
this examination, and it is doubtful il
danley VIII even De put on the StdnQ
1t is understood the state has some
other evidence in sight also with which
it will attempt so prove that HanIey has
been doing little stealing for some time
and that he once tried to burn his store
| for the insurance.
Hanley's great defense will be black
mail and he will endeavor to prove John
son gambler and of bad reputation gen
orally, at the trial.

THE HUBS OPENING.
The shOwiest Affair In That Line for Some
Years in Topeka.

The showiest Affair In That Line for Some
Years in Topeka.
Long before the hour appointed, O.
C. last evening, an immense crowd of
people had gathered and were waiting
to be admitted to the handsome store of
the Hub Clothing company.
The windows were masterpieces of the
decorators art With silver paber as a
background, the wax figures and sample
suits were wreathed with long sprays Of
smiIax.
At least half of the visitors were ladies',
and the slow progress necessitated by the
crowd, reminded one of the crowded cor
ridors of the state house on the evening
of the inaugural reception.
Unique and beautiful effects in bril-
liant electric lights blazed everywhere,
and the fine new line of mems and boys
wear of every description was most taste
fully arranged for inspection.
The pretty little souvenirs were in de-
mand and every lady carried one of the
dainty cups and saucers away with her
Mr. Harry Steinberg's orchestra, sta
toned in the balcony in the rear furn-
ished delightful music and palms and
flowers were used profasely in the inter
ior decorations
Mr.. Steinberg and Mr.. S. Heyman ex-
tended cordial greeting to all Corners
The Hub makes a specially of chill
dren's furnishing goods, and takes par
ticular pains to impress people with the
fact that it is one price establishment
Among the ut-of-town people who
came to the opening were Mr.. Leo Stein
berg of Lawrence, Mrs. J. Gerson of
Newton, who is the guest of Mr.. and
and Mrs. S. Heyman, and Mr.. Smoot of

CHICAGO MARKEr LETTER.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and stock
Exchange Room 3. Columbian Building.
Wheat-Opened slightly easier caused
by lower ST Louis and New York
markets yesterday and the low curb this
morning. There was great deal of
noise made at the opening by the Bears,
who hoped TO break the market without
selling much wheat All offerings were
quickly absorbed by Partridge and local
shorts and the market quickly steadied up
and advanced to 5516 for the May option in
few minutes. At this point there were
heavy offerings, aud the market stub
bornly declined again to about the open
ing prices, when it steadied up again on
good buying by shorts and people who
are firm believers in higher prices for
wheat The words visible decreas ed
over 2 million bushels and exports are
big.
The wheat belt is enjoying good rain
and this seems to give the trade the sell
| ing fever, but as the most of the damage
done to winter wheat is by the last cold
snap, and not dry weather, the rains will
do it no good. 1t is reported from the
Kansas wheat belt that fully 90 per cent
is winter killed. We are friendly to the
long side and think this decline is only
temporary and that we viii see much
higher prices before another crop.
Corn opened weak in sympathy with
wheat, but soon steadied and advanced
over half cent Cash demand is good,
exports fair and receipts small and fall
ing off daily. We need all the corn we
now have for home consumption, and if
we should have crop failure it will
bring a fancy price in few months.
Oats are strong and active. cash de-
mand good and prospects of backward
crop. as seeding has been seriously re
tarded by dry dusty weather
Provisions opened strong with good
buying by the local crowd. 1t remained
strong until about 1890, when there was
an immense line dumped on the market
by longs. As the wheat market was
weak the selling in provisions caused a
weakness in pork and the closing was
weak and about at the bottom.

SECRETARY KINGS STORY.
Tells About the Indiana Legislative Riot
Before the Grand Jury


Before the Grand Jury
INDIANAPOLIS Ind, April S.-Myron D.
King, Governor Matthew's private secre-
tary. in his testimony before the county
grand jury in reference to the riot on
the closing night of the legislature, said
that he left the governors office with
the veto message fifteen minutes before
midnight accompanied by Custodian
Griffin. He suspected nothing until the
elevator reached the second floor
landing. When the door was opened,
to let him out Representatives Adams
of Park. Allen of Daviess, and Boardman
of Marion leaped into the carriage. Al
len took the lever away from the con-
dUctor, and Adams struck the witness a
heavy blow in the side breaking a rib.
he elevator was run to the third floor,
the fighting continuing in the mean
time.
Custodian Griffin succeeded in getting
possession of the lever by striking Allen
in the face. The rest of Secretary
Kings story conceded with the previous
statements he had made. He said that
after the general fight began at the door
of the house, he could not remember
who struck him. Mr.. King had to be
taken to and from the court house in q
carriage. Several citizens who wit
messed the riot have been summoned tC
appear before the grand Jury.

GOV. HOGG DIDN'T CARE.
Rockefeller Fugitive and Who He Was
Made No Difference.

NEW YORK, April S.-Ex- Governor
Hogg of Texas, is in the city. In re-
cent interview he said that he was justi-
fed in signing the requisition for J, D.
Rockefeller
81 simply acted within the scope of my
authority as the chief executive officer
to carry out the laws OF my
state" he said "Mr. Rockefeller
and the other gentlemen mentioned
in the indictments were reported
to me as tugitives from justice. OF
course, knew them by reputation. But
| didn't care who they were, they had
violated our laws, and l sent out requisi-
tions for their return In strict accord with
my duty. These indictments still hang
over them"
Speaking of Texas, he said: "I do not
think that the present temporary ad-
vance in cotton is going to fool farmers
down our way. They feel that they have
been suckers long enough. They
will devote their time aud energies
to crops that warrant more immediate
aud substantial return. Our agricultu-
raj products last year amounted to more
than 1920, 100000, which is equal to one
half of all the personal property in the
state"

CHAMPAGNE CORKs.
They Are Cut by Hand and Are Very Ex-
pensive-

They Are Cut by Hand and Are Very Ex-
pensive-
''When you pull a champagne cork
the anticipation of the sparkling bever-
age gives you but little time to consider
just now important the cork is" said
prominent cork manufacturer, accord
ing to the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
"A champagne cork is the most ex-
pensive made. You will probably be
surprised when I tell you they cost
from seven to ten cents each. To keep
champagne in good condition the cork
must be as near perfect as possible. So
it is that they are cut by hand from the
best quality of Catalonia wood.
1.-The utmost care is taken in the Sc
lection of the wood, and even after the
corlzs are cut another sorting process
is gone through. Then, by a chemical
process. the corl1s are tested to see if
they can be relied upon to do the par
ticular work Of tightly fastening cham
payne bottles. The manufacturer
must learn for a certainty whether the
corlzs are perfect or not before they are
permitted to be put upon the market.
Of course. you ind some bad corks in
champagne bottles, but their defects
are either passed over through careless
ness or develop after the bottle is corked.
You will appreciate that seven or ten
cents is not such an exorbitant figure
as it would seem. There are very few
champagne corlzs made in America.
The corksS could be made here just as
well as in Europe, but at much less
profit"

"The ex-queen is a prisoner up stairs

attendant all the time and as the natives
are all musicians, they all seem to enjoy
themselves up stairs. The time is mostly
passed in singing and dancing. This is

her departure without settling her hotel
bill. She left her trunk, a rather cheap
affair, which upon examination was
found to contain brown paper and air,
principally.
