10 THE EDITOR OF 1HE NEWS.
SIR-Your reporter of the committee's
work on show bills in yesterdays issue of
your paper got things twisted little.
His report is--not in accordance with the
facts in the..case, and it Is due to all con-
cerned that this correction should be
made.
lie says: "Rev. John Mason OF the
Primitive Methodist Church, with other
ministers of the de- omination, recently
appointed by conference of theirs, ETC.,
waited on the city hall officials in refer
ence to the Objectionable show bills" etc.
The above is not true. The committee
was composed OF Rev. John Mason of the
Primitive Methodist Church, and hev. Mr..
Woodwork of the Highland Congrega-
tional Church, and were appointed by the
union ministers meeting of the city. He
also says that in the absence of Chief Ba-
ker, Deputy Chief Egan received the
committee, and told them that Chief Ba-
ker had no doubt examined the bills re-
ferred to, and approved them and that he
couldn't do anything until the chief came
back, and the committee were to call
again tomorrow. This, sir, with the ex-
ceptlon of the first sentence, is entirely
incorrect. The facts are as follows:
When the committee first went to the
office neither the chief nor his deputy
were In, but while the clerk was ex-
planning when they would be i'm Deputy
Chief Egan came in, and the committee
was introduced to him; he received
us kindly, and trtated us very cour-
teously. When the object OF our
visit was made known, the remarks of
the deputy chief, impressed us with
the fact chat the officials were entirely
in accord with our mission, and gave us
every assurance that the matter would be
attended to, and as soon as we pointed
out the posters that were Objectionable,
communication was at once opened with
the captains of the separate districts, with
a view to their being torn down. Their
attention was called to the corrupt custom
of hanging the Police News and Police
Gazette and the Standard in the store
" indows with that part exposed, showing
women, almost nude. aud in positions
that are detestable to the minds of those
who want their boys and girls to grow
up pure and good; and in this we were
also assured of the enforcement OF the
law. Who could expect IL otherwise
from rightminded men, who have boys
and girls of their own growing up
around them and who are exposed to
these corrupting influences. The commit
tee were satisfiedSIyith the results of their
visit.

the ministers OF the city without regard
to name or creed in any attempt thev
might make with q view to prohibiting
such obscenity within the city limits.

KIMBALL MUSIC COMPANY.
A Well Attended Opening Was Enjoyed
Last Night.

The Kimbal Music Company opened
its new music parlors at POI Weybosset
street and even the storm did not prevent
a large numrer OF friends of the company
visiting it and extending their congratu-
lations and wishes for continuance of
the prosperity that II Is very evident 1t Is
at present enjoying. Though the display
of the kimball pianos was one in keeping
with thst Cf so excellent a reputation as
these pianos have, still one OF the most
charming things, and one that has In
Washington. l.. c., and other cities
caused the greatest OF attention, IN the
new rooms was the piano attachment OF
the Wilcox x White Organ Company of
Meriden, Conn. There can be little
doubt after one has examined this excel
lent invention that lovers of good music
in this country are to be wonderfully in
creased for instead of the few opportuni-
ties of hearing such music extended to
the general public, all of who own pi-
ano can by means of this new wonder be-
come as familiar with the works OF the
great masters as with the most ordinary
tunes OF the day. This knowledge, too,
can be acquired without long study and
one will not tie dependent either on the
temper of performer. All that Is need
ed to hear in ones home as often as may
be desired the greatest pieces of music Is
one of the Wilcox * White attachments.
1t is not costly thing and the great re-
turn cannot be described to the lover OF
the music and there are few who do not
desire to be considered ss sbch.
The mechanism which will enable any
one perform any piece OF music on the pi-
ano is an attachment adjusta bic TO any
upright piano, and moves the keys auto
matically from the interior of the instru-
ment. The attachment also includes a
bellows like that used Tor an organ, and
Ii is this that furnishes the power. There
are also couple of stops for increasing
and diminishing the volume of sound,
and for regulating the tempo. The music
rolls used on the piano can be used on the
orchestral symphony, the cost being no
greater than that OF sheet music.
Ii. X. White, superintendent of the Will
cox White Organ Company, was present
last evening and pleasantly explained the
merits of the device and be will also be in
attendance at the Klmball Company's
rooms for few days.

While the Gossiper agreed that the word
lady is often misused and abused and that
madame would, in many instances, be
preferable, he wasn't quite willing to
accept the declaration of his fellow pas
senger on the platform that ''lady" finds
no place in the Scriptures. A search OF
the Bible made later on convinced him
that the oracular objector to the term
was not as familiar with the contents Of
the good book as he pretended to be. for
the Gossipr found four instances i'm
which "lady" is employed "Thou shalt
no more be called the Lady of X ng-
doms, Isaiah xlvii:5. In the seventh
verse OF the same chapter there is the fol-
lowing: "And thou suidst Il shalt be
lady forever. {" The second epistle of
John furnishes two instances: "With
the elect lady and her children; in verse
of the first chapter the word is again
employed thus, "and now beseech thee,
lady,
In its plural form the word may be
found in Judges v: 20 and Esther I:1S.

Mr.. BLODGETT CONGRATULATED
Many Citizens Pay Their Respects to the
Chairman of Board Today.

Mr.. John T. Blodgett, who was re-elect-
ed to the board OF canvassers and registra-
tion last evening after sharp battle, was
at the Office of the board this morning,
where he received many hearty congratu-
lations on his success and dispensed fine
favored Havanas TO his friends.
The voting lists Cor use during the pres
ent year were received from the city
printers this morning ana they are now
on file ready to be consulted by any citi-
zen. The lists are made up by districts
and each one = dividei into three sec
tions. First and TO the left are the names
OF the real estate vo tiers, next and separt-
ed by rule are those OF the personal prop
erty voter, and TO the right separated by
a heavy rule those OF the registry voters.
Clear type Is used and the name sought
for can rea lilly be found.
In addition to the names OF the three
classes Of voters the residences of all are
given, fact which increases the size of
the lists very materially. 1he number OF
real and personal property voters by dis
tricts have not yet been counted up, but
that work Is now In progress and will be
completed during toe present week or
iarly next week.

ped up and stood near the door for q
moment when the conductor, after get
ting those inside TO "move up" said:
"Ihere's room in there now for you,
lady," The word "lady" didn't seem to
strike one of the passengers on the plat
form very fayorably for he remarked to a
companion something to the effect that
conductors were as bad as reporters In its
general misapplication. Then he went on
TO declare dogmdtically that a woman was
a woman and ought to be contented to
be called such. "If II is necessary to use
some such expression why not say
'Madame'?" he went on. "It sounds a
good deal better and Is decidedly more
appropriate. II these fellows who drag
in the word lady every time woman Is
mentioned, would study up their Bibles
they would find that the book OF books
doesn't recognize such being as a
lady for the word isn't employed either
in the Old or the New Testament"

S. J. Fowler, the Oklahoma
City man whose wife recently
deserted him and left her home
in company with a tramp, has
at last ended his troubles in
death. For weeks he followed
his wife and her paramour, fin
ally locating them in Kansas
City, where he caused the man
to be arrested for adultery.
Fowler and his wife apparently
made up their differences and
went to Atchison, Kas., to make
a new home. But the humility
of the wife was evidently as
sumed, for after a few days she
again disappeared. This part
of the story is told in the col
umns of the Kansas City Jour
nal, which narrates:
IS. J. Fowler went to st.
Joseph Tuesday in search of
his wife who left his home near
Oklahoma City three weeks ago
with James E. Russell. BE
failed to find the truants and
came to Kansas City yesterday.
He was arrested by Detective
Hayes while fiourishing a huge
gun" at the corner of Sixth
street and Grand avenue. Fow-
Ter claims Russell has his two
children in hiding and he wants
them. He does not care what
becomes of his wife and Rus
sell. He will be aIraigned to-
day on a charge Of carrying
concealed weapons.
ION August "a Fowler caused
the arrest of Russell and his
wife in this city on a charge of
adultery. Mrs. Fowler was dis
charged by Justice Kruger be-
cause her husband would not
prosecute her. Russell was
sentenced to twenty days in the
county Jail, finishing his SEN
tence Tuesday. He went at
once to st. Joseph, and, it is
said, met Mrs. Fowler there.
He denies he knows the where
abouts of Fowler's children"
A dispatch from st. Joseph
states that Fowler found his
wife in that city yesterday and
shot her and then shot himself,
both dying instantly. No fur
ther details were added.
