today to hold the people.
The specialists have already been
here ten weeks, but it is evident that
they might continue their stay indefi-
nately. and be kept continuously busy.
They had decided to leave two weeks
ago, but the pressure for them to stay
was so great that it was found neces-
sary to delay their departure. No
word of complaint has been heard, but
everywhere unstinted praise of the
wonderful results they have accomp-
lished. When they return to Wichita
it will not be as strangers, but as
friends, and the good wishes of hun
dreds will attend them wherever they
CO.
They carry with them, as an adver-
Using feature, first class company
of vaudeville performers, known as
German-American .Vaudevilles, ..and
it is needless to say that this company
has given excellent satisfaction. The
crowds that have attended every per-
Torrance, very frequently over-taXlng
the seating capacity of the mammoth
tent, attest the merit of the show
There is not a weak point in the show
ard the farewell performance tonight
will eclipse all previous ones.
Miss Alice Raymore, who is unques-
tionably the finest lady cornetest in
the world, is great fav0rite within e
audiences, as is Lottie Waters the
versatile character woman. Miss VIII
ton is very fine singer and has sung
her way into the hearts of the peoble,
Dunbar and Harris, acrobats and gen.
eral performers, have covered them
selves with glory each night with
their astounding feats. The McDon-
aids, Irish comedians, have greatly
helped the button trade in Wichita
with their side splitting humor. Mel
sonia, who is extremely clever in
Juggling and tricks of magic, has been
all over the world with the best
companies.
Tonight the company will make a
strong effort to excel itself and The per-
Torrance will undoubtedly be witness
ed by packed house,
During their stay here'the specialists,
unknown to themselves, have been
subjected to several tests as to their
honesty and knowledge of disease.
The fire boys down at hose house
No. 2 were talking some time ago
about the doctors, and various opin-
ions were expressed regarding them.
Ex-Councilman Paul Melinger, to
settle the question, persuaded Tom
Scott, one of the fire ladies, to con-
suit them. Now, Scott is as sound as
a dollar and never had scarcely an
ache or pain in his life.
That is why he was selected. Scott
went down to the tent, procured a
consultation card in the regular way
and patiently waited his turn. He
had to wait good while, but finally
he was called in to see DR.. Keith. The
doctor asked Tom to remove bis cloth
ing and began to carefully examine
him. The doctor never asked Ques-
tions. but arrived at his conclusions
from his own observations by the use
of the microscope, Horoscope and
other necessary instruments.After DR.
Keith had examined Scott very thor
7 oughly, he looked him square in the
, eve and said; "What in the world d.
you want to take medicine for? Their
is absolutely noticing wrong witt
I you"
, 81 know it, DOCTOR" Scott confessed
as he clambered into his clothes
"au1 just wanted to find out wheth
[ er you would be honest with me-
= Then he told Mr.. Keith about tn
little conspiracy at tie hose house
I and after they had both had a goo
o laugh and enjoined cigars, Scott RI
s turned to No. to report.
The specialists will have heart,
e welcome from the people of WIGHT
: when they return.
