QUARANTINE RULES
Win Be Put in Force Earlier This
Year Against Texas Cattle.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The restric-
tons imposed by the operation OF the
federal quarantine line beyond which
cattle were not allowed to be shipped,
ceased the 10Th OF the present month.
The esta bIishment Of this line or boun-
dairy annually is made necessary by the
existence OF Texas fever infection
among the cattle, but as there is no
danger Of its spreading in the north in
cold weather, the restrictions usually
are removed about this time of the
year. New regulations having the same
object In view. however, soon viii be
prepared by the agricultural depart
ment officials and probably will be put
into effect on the first of January.
In former years the department de-
ferred the issuance of the regulations
until the first of March and afterwards
until the first OF February but expert
ence has demonstrated the desirab ility
of advancing the date to about the
first of the year. Cattle sent north af-
ter that time, agricultural officials say
may carry cOntagiOn which failing to
mature during the period of cold wealth
er succeeding will manifest itself in the
warm spring season and thus spread
the disease DR.. Salmon. chief Of the
bureau of animal industry says the
cattle industry of the country is in a
prosperous condition, due partly to a
falling on in supply and to increased
exports.

SUMMER VAUDEVILLE.
W. E. Vaudeville of st. Louis to Sc
cure Garfield Park

High class vaudeville at a low price
is what Topeka people will probaply De
offered as a summer entertainment at
Garfield park during the months OF
June. July and August next year MT:
W f Vaudeville, this year manager OF
the Human Hearts" company, mas
opened negotiations with MarsnaIl ;
band for the control of the park next
summer, and if successful in SECURING IL
proposes to give Topeka continuous
entertainment from Decoration day IN
til the first of September.
Mr.. Vaudeville was in this city last
ufeht and talked to the officers OF the
band about the matter. He IS the man
who Inaugural ted vaudeville entertain
n1ent at the St. Louis parks, ana IS
thoroughly familiar with this line OF
work He has already been offered the
control of one of the parks at St Joe,
and in the event he takes control OF
Garfield park will establish a, circuit be-
tween that city and Topeka.
1t is Mr. Nankeville's idea to put on
an entertainment both afternoon ana
evening with a change of bill weekly
He saws he would have no trouble IN
securing excellent features, and IS quite
enthusiastic over the proposition OF
taking control of the park here on
Sunday afternoon and evening SpeclaA
nrertainrnent would be arranged, PROP
ably in connection with the band, so
that the summer band concerts would
not be abandoned In other cities ne
has worked the plan of a Is cent ticket
emitting the holder to a ride on the
street railway to and from the park
and admission to the park and such a
plan would probably be carried out mere
An extra charge would be made for re-
served seats.
Topeka has never had anything Of
this kind and it is something that has
been badly needed for several years
With the exception of the concerts by
NTarshalI's band there has been prac-
tfcally no summer entertainment here,
and many Topeka people ind 1t hard
+0 employ their time on summer even
fngs That such entertainment would
nav was demonstrated by the crowds
that attended the vitascOpe exhibitions
at the park last summer The officers
of the band realize that entertainment
of this kind is demanded. and are favor
able to leasing the control OF the park.
Mr.. NankeviIle will make a formal offer
in a short time and it is probable that
he will secure control.
