Praises for Miss Amsden.

The Central Luminary, published
by the Kansas City high school, says
these commendatory words Of selec-
tions given by Miss Sue Amsden at a
recent entertainment by the Philo-
nathan society Of the school;
"The soubrette, Miss Matte Ney,
otherwise Miss Sue Amsden, was then
called on to entertain the party. Miss
Amsden responded with The Re-
venge of Hamish, a wierd, uncanny
legend Of the Scottish highlands She
has wonderfully strong and flexible
voice, her gestures and bearing were
almost queenly and she made her i'm
presentations intense and natural" A
farce in two acts written by Misses
Amsden and Buford followed. The
Luminary says:
"Miss Sue Amsdcn took the role Of
Polly, the landlady's little girl, with
a stick of candy and a lengthy string
Of sausage, and threw the house into
spasms Of laughter with her quaint
makeup and laundering ways. 10 be
able to deliver serious defamation
and only half hour later to take the
part of a rollicking, gigglng girl re-
quires, to say the least, much versa
tility, and the Philos are to be con-
graduated on possessing such con-
venient parsonage as Miss Amsden. :"

State to Be Organized Thoroughly
by Counties.

The executive committee Of the
Kansas State Cattlemen's association
is planning for thorough organiza.
ton of the State in order that the
stock interests may be better protect
ted. 1t expects to put an organizer
in the field to extend the wook in each
county and form subordinate organ
izations that will add strength to the
State association. The creamery men
also expect to work with the cattle as
sociation and there will be a strong
pressure brought on the candidates
for the legislature all over the State
to pass legislation favorable to The
stock interests. The creamery men
want particularly to have an anti
oleomargarine law adopted and be-
lieve that they will be able to secure
enough pledges in advance from can
didates to insure it. The cattle men
want better facilities in shipping and
protection from contagion, infected
herds of the Southwest and will be in
a good position to demand it. 1t is
expected that the State Cattlemen's
association will have 1000 members
by next spring.

its occupants went into the ditch and
the horse kicked itself loose and ran

LEFT 4 Muss.
Central Hotel Presents . Remarkable
Appearance.

When M. l.. Baldwin, who will be
one Of the new managers Of the Cen
trail hotel, entered the building today
to arrange for moving in his goods
he found a remarkable spectacle. It.
retiring tenant, G. H. Martin, left laSt
night, going, it is said, to Lyons where
he expects to run hotel. The new
lessees found the house in condition
that would make a self-respecting
hog-pen ashamed ofitself. The straw
ticks had been emptied on the floor in
halls and. bedrooms. spittoons and
ashpans emptied on the floor, stove
pipe cleaned in the rooms and SCOT
scattered over the floor, huge pieces
Of plastering gouged out of the wall
Of the newly papered stairway, win
dow signs scratched and defaced,
kitchen window broken. filth and dirt
everywhere until it made shameful
appearance. Mr.. Baldwin says that
none of these things were visible yes
terday morning. A large number of
people have visited the building today
and every one has expressed disgust
at its condition.
1t is reported that Mr.. Martin made
a little bluff on the owners of the
house regarding reduction in rent
which failed, hence he found himself
out of a location and was very angry
at the owners.
The matter is being investigated
and if it is found that the houses con-
dition was due to his orders Mr.. Mar
tin can consider himself mighty
lucky if he escapes damage suit for
injury to the house.
