An evening paper yesterday quoted Mr..
Couldock, the veteran player of Wilton
Lackaye's company. as saying that he had
no intention of retiring from the stage, as
stated in the Journal of last Monday. The
Journals authority for the statement was
Mr.. Lackaye, who wired his represent
ative, Thomas Prior. from Chicago last
Saturday night. suggesting that mention
be made of the matter in the Sunday pa
pers. Before using the news the Journal
required Mr.. Prior to send a telegram to
Mr. Lackaye asking whether the Kansas
City engagement would be Mr.. Coulduck's
last, or whether he simply meant this
would be his last season. The answer did
not come until Sunday afternoon and it
read as follows:
Chicago, Nov. 15-Mr. Thomas Prior.
Coates opera house, Kansas City:-Next
Saturday night old mans last appearance.
"LACKAYE"
Mr.. Couldock said last night that ne had
been ailing and had told Mr. Lackaye that
he would not attempt to go further than
Kansas City on his tour, but added that
since last Sunday he has improved SO much
that his doctor says he can continue with
out risk.

J. c. Boyle attorney general-elect of
Kansas. was at the Coates yesterday on
business in connection with the Society Of
He said that in MS opinion there would
be no radical legislation in Kansas under
the coming administrat ton. Il know a
great many Of the representatives and
senators-elect," said he, and 1 know them
to be fair minded OF course, few radical
fellows have been elected, but they are in
the minority, and IL is safe to say that
the complexion Of the next Kansas leg
islature Will be made up of such men as
Colonel Harris. of Leayenworth, whom We
all know to be conservative. One thing
that the legislature will do will he TO lop
off a few Of the ornamental Offices that
have been incumberiHg the statute books
for years, constituting a burden 10 the
people in order thar Republican politicians
might reward their friends"
After having exuded this matter, Mr..
Boyle resumed:
personally. I would like to see bill
passed abclishing the pass system. l think
such move would be to the benefit Of
both the railroads and the people, as 1t
would remove one Of the principal sus-
picions that legislation is being influenced
By railroads. Another measure which
think will receive favorable consideration
is a bill similar to the Missouri law in
reference to trust deeds. II is claimed
that such law will lower the rate of in
terest and il will surely demonstrate that
there is no hostility in Kansas toward
foreign capital"

fortunes with the Confederacy When he

enlist troops for the Confederacy within its
limits Notwithstanding that fact, later in

and recruited several companies Of soldiers
and took them TO the front For this act he
was indicted by the grand jury and a
warrant was ready for his arrest. When
tie climax came feeling was high in that
state, and he did not care to 90 home and
face q trial then. He decided to come West
and located in Missouri, and inasmuch as
he liked the people and the country, he re-
mained. He was never required 10 take
the test oath, and so remained Just where
he was VIXEN the war closed, out of the
Union. Later the law in Maryland was re-
psaled and he was able TO visit there but
there was no Circumstance that made 1t
necessary for him to take the oath until he
was appointed to his present position as
