A Tremendous Cargo.

From the New York Tribune: Boston
is pulled up with pride over the large
cargo taken away from the port by the
Layland Line steamer Victorian about
a week ago, on her first eastward trip.
The big load included 155, 900 bushels of
grain, 1900 tons of -four, LOO tons of
provisions, 800 tons of resin, $500 bales
of cotton, 500 tons of leather and leather
goods, 260 tons of dressed beef, 100 tons
of lumber, rs tons of hay and feed for
cattle, 654 head of cattle and 1881
sheep. All parts of the United States
east of the Rocky Mountains, and even
Canada, were represented on the mani
fest. Georgia sent over 1000 bales of
cotton, North Carolina furnished the
greater part of the resin and the North
west sent 114,OOO bushels of corn, Al 900
of wheat, 1920 sacks of flour, $3.50
pieces of walnut, and quantities of pork,
beef and lard. Canada supplied 1915

WHY NOT HAVECRANE?
He Plays a One Night Stand at
st. Joe.
TOPEKA DENIED SUCH PLEASURE.

Manager CrawEOrd's Duty to the
Theater GOers of TOpeka-Even Fit.
Scott Gets Pauline Hall.
"His Wife'a Father" W. Fl. Cranes
latest play is to be presented at ST. Joe
tonight He will appear there only one
night Topeka would willingly pay
81. 80 a seat to see Crane in "The Senator"
or in "His Wife's Father" If Crane can
play a one night stand at st Joe he can
play one at Topeka. Topeka is as good
a show town as st. Joe. When Fanny
Davenport was here she played to more
money than in St Joe and her engage
ment here was three nights while in st
Joe it was but two.
Under these circumstances there Is no
possible reason why Crane shouldn't be
engaged for the Grand opera house.
Even il he demands eighty per cent,
which he doubtless would be entitled to,
the house here would make Uloney. 1t
is better to make only $3.50 on high
priced attraction than to lose $25 on q
poor one, as is frequently the case with
Manager Crawford.
The people of Topeka want to
see actors like Crane. They pre-
fer to see them in Mr.. Crawforts
opera house. They would rather pay
their money to L. NJ Crawford than 10
the Kansas City managers Hudson,
Judah, II. D. Clark or Mr. Henderson,
representative at Kansas City, Mr.. w. S.
McAlester, but if Mr. Crawford will not
bring the plays to US we must go to the
plays. If the mountain will not como to
Mahomet, Mahomet must needs go to
the mountain. The theater train be-
comes necessity to those who would
see the great actors of the day. Good
plays are part of liberal education.
No one wishes to be a jay. Everyone
wants to look at good pictures, read
good books, hear good music and see
good plays.
1t is L. NJ. Crawford's business and his
duty to provide US with the last named,
if we are willing to pay for them; and we
are willing.

The boast of the Topeka Capital that it pays
more postage than all other Topeka dailies
combined, only proves the meagerness of its
local circulation as compared with that of the

Twin. Celebrate Their Goth Birthday

Twins Celebrate Their Doth Birthday.
In the charming old Cape Cod town
of Barnstable reside twin sisters who
celebrated their Goth birthday last
week. Possibly older twins may be
found. but if so it is very doubtful if
any can equal these ladies in vigor of
mind and body. They are Mrs. Mehit-
able Smith and Mrs. Deborah P. Hall.
and they were born in Barnstable Au-
gust 80, 1905. Their maiden name was
Parker. They have been widows for
many years and have long resided in
the house in which lived Governor
Thomas Hinckley, governor of Ply
mouth colony in 1880.

FIT. SCOTT Foxes FUN
Because It Gets Pauline Hall and Topeka
Doesn't.

Because It Gets Pauline Hall and Topeka
Doesn't.
The Fl. Scott Manitor SAYS: "There
is rebellion in Topeka, not because an
unkind governor refuses to permit the
laws of the commonwealth to be broken
but by reason of the contumacious
conduct of one Crawford, who enjoys a
monopoly of the theatrical business in
the capital city of the commonwealth.
Crawford is a devotee of the dol
lar, spending his days and nights
in chasing that elusive but seduc-
tive coin. He is not in the
theatrical business for his health, nor
does he believe in art for arts sake; he is
out for the stuff, the real genuine "long
green" is the object of his life. He will
play no company not willing to yield up
40 per cent of the gate money, and the
result is that whenever possible the good
attractions all pass by Topeka on the
other side. just at present there is trib-
ulation because Pauline Hall has can
may be called the delight of
boarding house keepers and the de-
spsir of artists, in order to play in
Font Scott where there is a theater
conducted by a gentleman and a people
that always patronize good thing. The
dissatisfied Topeksns are clamoring for
q Saturday night theater train to Kansas
City over the santa Fe. What's the mat
ter with Fort Scott? The Missouri Pa
cific is an obliging line and would doubt
less run theater train from Topeka to
Fort Scott and return on Saturday even
ing for the benefit of the lovers of the
artistic whose souls are sick of the shows
supplied by Crawford.

Grand International Boat Race in 1910

Grand International Boat Race in 1910
From the New York Colum bian: This
morning, between and o'clock. a
match race was rowed between two
boats, one called the Evening Post and
owned by the Office whose name it
bears, built by Mr.. John Chambers, the
famous English builder; the other a
new boat, built by Mr.. John Baptis, the
Yankee builder, and owned by Messrs.
Lang and Turner, editors of the Daily
Gazette.
They rowed from Governors island
and came into Whitehall, John Bull
being about two boat lengths Astern OF
Yankee Doodle. Mr.. Lang's is supposed
to be as handsome and as fast a boat of
the kind as ever foated in our waters,
and does great credit to Mr.. Baptis, the
builder.

WICHITA STILL ORGANS.
Because It is at the Mercy of the Crawford
Circuit,

The Wichita Beacon says: "The only
recourse of Wichita theater goers is to
ignore all plays that Crawford sends
here unless their character is known.
In tn end this will result in Manager
Crawford securing for his Wichita house
a good line of attractions. but SO long as
he can bring a paying business with his
"bowerY attractions" there will be no
change in his present policy. Compared
with Wichita, Topeka mas little to com
plain of. for Crawford has always booked
better attractions there than here, so if
the people of Topeka are rebelIing it is
that much more reason that the people of
this CITY should"

SHOOTING AT CADDO.
Uph Henderson and His FOwIIne Piece
Play Havoc with George Willis
A Strange Coincidence.

Uph Henderson shot Geo. Willis
through the left leg with 41-cahbre
pistol at Caddo on Tuesday. The
difference grew out of the fact that
the two young men had quarreled
over the accusation of Henderson
and when Henderson asked
Willis about it, Willis affirmed it and
advanced upon Henderson with a
knife and piece of iron, when Hen
derson shot him through the left leg.
This is the story told by Deputy
United States Marshal James Var
borough, who was here today. Will
lis is the same man who, about a
year ago, was shot in the left leg by
J. y. Schenck, editor of the Caddo
Banner, for alleged remarks made
by Willis of Schenck's wife, and the

one inflicted by Schenck's pistol
