"A Treat-The lecture of DR.. Willis
last night was to those who were fortu-
! nate enough to enjoy it one Of those rare
| treats that satisfy and charm without
alloy. No man can lecture on sunshine
and fill his audience with pleasurable
emotions without being full Of sunshine
himself. 1t showed itself in counte-
nance Of remarkable mobility, rejecting
IN its play Of expression every varying
emotion that he described; IN a sweet
and sympathetic voice, in a mind gar
nished with the choicest gems of litera-
ture, and sparkling with wit and flashing
with racy anecdote; but above all, in a
heart that was full Of kindnes and love
for his fellow men, that enjoyed all the
good things OF life, with gratitude to
the Giver, and desire to share them with
every one else. A lecture ike this de-
lights the mind and charms the taste,
and makes one feel not only happier
but better.
THE TWELVE TEMPTATIONS"
Yale's Twelve Temptations" drew a
large audience at the Crawford Grand
last night This spectacular production
is somewhat similar to the Devils Auc-
lion" out It is not a repetition Of the
auction by any means. Yale maintains
his reputation for scenic effects in the
twelve Temptations" The ballet
were al very good and the acrobatic
ana Juggling specialties were indeed of
q superior order. The customes were
all new and tasty and the scenery elab-
crate The music, under the direction
OF Professor Charles A. Ware, was
catchy and pretty. The company is a
large one and among the number were
Miss Anna Cuortney, Ida Dexter and
Josie Sission, who have all appeared
here before. Gus Bruno, Jr., owing to
sickness was not able to play his part
and the role was taken by an under
study in satisfactory manner One of
the features of the third act was the
great bridge scene. While better spec
tacuiar productions have appeared here.
the Twelve Temptations" gave gener-
al satisfaction ito the large audience
that greeted it in Wichita. On next
Saturday Sadie and Fred Raymond will
play Daisy, the Missouri Girl" at the
Crawford.

tham who except to the petition Of
Emil Weichel for a license at III Wyo-
ming avenue. They are the present
lesses OF the premises, and through
some dallying about raising the rent
the petition. was not filed before the
last day fixed by law for filing petit
tions. Martin and Hol.ham refused to
renew the lease and Weichel then ap-
piled for a license. Attorney John j.
Kelley represented the petition and he
held that 1t was all spite work on the
part Of the exceptants.
Mr. Weichel thought they would ap-
ply and was not aware that they had
not applied until the list was published.
Then he applied and his petition was
published twice, instead of three times,
Mr.. Kelley argued that twice was
enough to fulfill the requirements of
the statute. Mr.. Scragg said the lessees
did not want to apply until they were
sure that they could renew the lease
with Weichel and all on account of the
attempt to raise the rent the matter
was kept hanging fire until il was too
late.
The list will very probably be finished
up today and the remainder of the
week will then be spent by the judges
in considering the petitions.
