A MILK WHITE FLAG.
"oH the Earth" People Largely In
ccIporated in It.

1t was the initial presentation of "a
Milk White Flag in this city. yet the
Topeka theater-goers who filled the
biggest part of the available space at
the Crawford theater last night expert
enced a feeling of familiarity before the
piece was fairly on it's way. The feel
ing started when a glance at the even
ing programme disclosed the name of
John w. Dunno, and made a big pro-
gressiVe leap when the orphan daugh-
ter made her appearance in the first
act When finally the private of the
RansOme Guards changed his attire
and appeared in the guise of the tramp
in the last act it settled over the audi
ence thoroughly, and for the sake of
old mountaineering they dealt out lib
eral applause.
John w. Dunno, Mary Marble and
Oscar Hall were all here last year with
Eddie Foy on ''Off the Earth" For
years Dunno has been a visitor to To-
peka yearly either in the capacity of
actor or manager, and last year man
aged the Eddie Foy production. Patti
Rosa was DUNES wife, and this year
is the first time that he has appeared
on the stage since the time that she
first became a star and he gave up dra-
matte work to become her manager.
"A Milk White Flag" was thoroughly
enjoyed by the large audience that
HoytS earlier productions but is well
played by the present company.
AS the bereaved Aurora Luce" Ian
sing Rowan was excellent. Her re-
markable resemblance to Mrs. z. B.
Meredith of this city was noticed.
In "A Milk White Flag Mr.. HOyt
has cleverly handled a satire on the
such swell militia in this part of the
country.

ONLY ELEVEN MEN
Who are Now Mentioned in COnnec-
ton With the Governorship.


A conference of Sixth district Repub-
leans at Beloit a few days ago resulted
in an agreement to push Ira E. Lloyd
of Ellsworth for governor. indicating
that S. H. Dodge of the BeIoit Gazette
is out of the race and that the 'Repub-
licans of the district will not call upon
Otis Z. Anterior to run for state treas
urer again.
The agreement to stAld by Lloyd is
a surprise to politicians but the action
against Anterior is not. In discussing
his probable candidacy a few days ago
in this city Mr.. Anterior stated that
his entry in the race for denomination
depended entirely upon the people. He
said: IF the Republicans of the Sixth
district want me to be their candidate
will accept the honor and make the
campaign"
The list of Republican candidates for
governor is now as follows:
John Seaton, AtchisOn.
William Martindale, Emporia-
Thomas M. Potter. Peabody.
John E. Hessin, Manhattan.
J. p. Harris, Ottawa
Ira E. Lloyd, Ellsworth.
J. A. Troutman, Topeka
Clark COnkling. Lyons.
A. w. Smith, MCPHERSON
Samuel L. Howe, Topeka.
w. c. Edwards, eX-secretary Of state.

WHARTON PRESENTS HIS SIDE
He Does Not Need to Make Reports
Until January. He SAYS

DR.. E. " Wharton says that he will
not repsond to the demand of StateAud-
itor Morris for a report showing the
monthly account of expenditures and
receipts for the inspection of coal oil
in the state, of which DR.. Wharton as
chief inspector has full charge.
DR.. Wharton said: I have now in
nv possession probably 81 200 of a bal
ance which belongs to the state This
amount together with that which is
collected between now and January 1
will be turned into the state treasury
at that time when 1 will make to the
governor and the state auditor the re
ports which the law requires me to
make 1 am not compelled to make
monthly or quarterly reports. I viii
not do So At the first OF the year 1
will make a full report of the business
of nv office from the time 1 took charge
in April until the close of the year
However. will make no additional re-
ports. I have work enough to do keep
ing the records in shape without pre-
pairing reports every 80 days.
When my report is made to the
governor it will contain vouchers for
all moneys paid out as well as all that

is collected and will be. in short, a full
and complete record of the business of
the department.
Then my enemies or my friends may
examine the record and if anything is
found that is suspicious or leads any
one to believe that 1 have not managed
the affairs of the office in a proper
manner, then 1 am ready to answer
charges At the present time think
it is unjust for any one to charge me
with stealing the money belonging to the
state without first having some knowl-
edge of the true condition OF at
fairs.
Every deputy oil inspector is at
work today as they have been all sum
mer. They are inspecting oil and col
me and will at the proper time reach

statements pertaining to collision be-
tween the governor and myself, they are
too preposterous and silly to heed
