Two Large Audiences Saw Her Saturday
With Satisfaction and Pleasure.
Two good audiences greeted Mile
Rhea at the Grand Saturday.
They were critical audiences too, but
in spite of that there was a good deal in
their behavior that proved conclusively
that they liked Rhea, her company and
the plays.
Much the better of the two PLAYS was
''The Lady of Lyons" With Rhea as
Pauline and w. s. Hart, young actor of
no mean merit. as Claude, it was splendid
and the audience attested most willingly
to its excellence by numerous and re-
peated curtain calls for both.
"lhe .Parisians" is play of much
lighter order. The theme is not strong,
though the lines are bright and the audi
ence liked it.
AS Pauline Rhea is superb As Clio
tide she is charming.

Rhea's accent is against her, but her
simplicity, her reality, her grace and ex-

an artist.

de Drops Out OF MayoraIty Race in the
Interest of Harmony.
A meeting of Republicans was held
Sasurday evening which drew up a
formal request to Mayor Harrison to
withdraw from the mayoralty contest.
In response to the request Mayor Har-
rison wrote the following letter of with
drawal:
1.-THE best interests of the city and of
the Republican party are of far more i'm
portance to me than the question as to
who shall be mayor, and upon the personal
pledge of each of the above named Re-
publicans that they will inaugurate and
carry out reform which shall hereafter
insure honest Republican primaries, |
accede to the request, and withdraw my
name as candidate for mayor.
T. w. HARRISON"
Topeka, March IS 1896
The action of Mayor Harrison will not
occasion much surprise as he had not
fully decided to become a candidate
when his name was fled with the city
clerk. He said that he would await the
results of his Investigations of the pri-
mary to determine his action.

THE suggestion Of Senator Morgan of
Alabama that the government aid the

is not wholly devoid Of merit. Since the

than justice to extend assistance to such

SAN Francisco, March 25.-The i'm

One of these is the father of Mrs. Fair,

The tissues were rapidly silicified.

Ewing Herbert also comes to the de-
Tense of the state administration and
Governor Morrill, in particular. He de-
votes three columns and half OF the
Hiawatha World to refutation of Sol
Miller's attack. Some of the passages
are:
"Mr. Miller wanted to be member of
the board of public works, place with a
better salary. The legislature failed 10
provide money to pay the board and
Governor Morrill, gave Mr. Miller the
next best place, which he declined and
then found fault with the governor and
the legislature. Probably he did not ask
for either place but no one will deny that
that MIR. Miller's services to his party are
worthy of recognition. In crying aloud
Mr.. Miller is not at all terrible. He has
done the same old thing that nine out of
ten disappointed men, great and small.
ion to the present time.
''Talleyrand didn't get all that he
wanted and made faces at Napoleon.
THE fact that Sol Miller has attacked
Morrill, is evidence that Cyrus Leland is
dissatisfied. The dissatisfaction of the
two ought to and will make Governor
Morrill, more popular with the people
who have long protested against the
Leland and Miller rule"
''We have little sympathy with the ed
itor of the Chief for trying to make cap
ital against the party that has fed him
and clothed him"
''Sol Miller, however, is not to blame in
this matter. The man who is back of it
all is Cy Leland. He is mad because
the Legislature did not make him United
States senator. That is his grievance
against it He is angry because Governor
Morrill, did not turn the state patronage
over to him to use in buying and inlu-
encing votes. That is the secret of
Miller's slurs upon Major Morrill, and for
Cy Leland, Sol Miller, stalwart Republi-
can, has violated whatever confidence his
political friends have put in him He is
no longer dangerous to his enemies."
