BUFFALO BILL'S REVIEW
OF the Representative Rough Riders
of the World.

On no account should the habitual
hardness, which characterizes so many
on entertainment bound, be permitted
to rob any pair of eyes of the grand
and glorious equestrian review, with
which the afternoon and evenings per-
formances of Buffalo Bits Wild West
and Congress of Rough Riders of the
World, at Topeka, on Monday, Septem-
Der 10, will be inaugurated at precisely
and o'clock. Imagine" says the
New York Sun, "a kaleidoscope, with
an object field four and half acres in
extent, occupied by a swiftly moving
mass of figures, individually pic
turesQue, brilliant with metallic ref1ec-
tons and gay with cOlOrs, mOmentarily
springing and flashing into new COM
binationS and modes of motion which
dazzle confuse and fascinate the eye
of the behOlder. Such is the spectacle
presented by the hundreds of rough
riders, forming part of the Wild West
show, when going through their eVOlu-
lions together. All the rest of the show
is interesting and remarka Bile; the
craftsmanship of Buffalo Bill and his
men, the excellent acrObatic feats of
the genuine Arabs, the Indian songs
and dances the conbats between the
scouts, cowboys and redmen, and much
more that need not be recapitulated;
but after all, the feature which arOuseS
the enthusiasm of the spectators is the
bination seen in each of those rough
riders when in action 1t stfrs the blood
as no other spectacle could short of
battle a shipwreck or an earthquake
When band after band of Vaqueros,
Gauchos, Cowboys and Indians, gallop-
ing swiftly, with wild yells, f1uttering
drapery and waving lariats, are follow
ed by ponderous German Cuirassiers,
dashing French cavalrymen, impet-
uous Cossacks, handsome Royal Irish
Lancers, mysterious Arab horsenen
and American cavalry, all in succession,
charging up the field, wheeling with
characteristic salutes, and retreat1ng
at full speed-the laundering of the
horses hoofs, the snOrting of the ami
mails, the dull roar of the moving mass,
the Haunting of the pennons and plumes
of the riders and the flashing of sabres,
send through the spectators a thrill OF
vital sympathy with the electric energy,
MAGNIFICENT force, and grace of the
army of Centaurs Men and women
rise in their seats, Shouting, applauding,
waving hats and handkerchiefs in their
excitement"
And since the above was written Col.
Cody has added another spectacle of
equal effect and far more thrilling war
like realism, in the stupendous and ire
mendously impressive reproduction OF
lamented Clusters Last Battle and
heroic death on the Little Big Horn.

COULD NOT FACE A KODAK.
Candidate W. E. Stanley Leaves a
Court Room in Disgust.

Wichita, Sept. 15.-County Attorney
Sam Amidon and W. E. Stanley were
making eloquent speeches in the district
court to convince a jury of u men that
old man White, nearly 6S years Of age,
is guilty of forgery.
The old man went on the witness
stand in his own defense and admitted
that he had signed mortgage incum-
bering a valuable farm belonging to his
son J. F. White in the state of Ala
bama. He showed his power of attor-
ney from his son. He said Harry Ar
mold had told him to sign the mortgage
that his power of attorney gave him the
right to do it. But in spite of that fact
Mr.. Amidon and Mr.. Stanley insist that
the old man is guilty of forgery.
Judge Dale and the spectators in the
court room were greatly amused when
the Republican candidate for governor
addressed the jury. Robert Hoffman of
Pittsburg, Pa, who represents a rich
PittSburg company, was present with
his kodak and when Mr.. Stanley went
off in some of the flights of OratOry the
snap shot was taken. When Mr.. Stan
ley said 'the way of the transgressor
is hard" and raised his hands over his
head, the kodak snapped. And when he
told about old man White hunting in
California. for his son for two years, he
turned his side to the jury and pointed
tragically toward far off California, and
the kodak snapped again and every
time it snapped the court and crowd
made another effort to keep from
Laughing.
Mr.. Stanley could not tell why, when
he was making such a solemn speech
everybody seemed to be greatly amused.
He would scratch his head and again
make fresh start. The jury and crowd
seemed not to appreciate and the Re
publican candidate became wonderfully
annoyed. Some one present thought to
help Mr.. Stanley out of his dilemma
and he pointed his thumb over his
shoulder and when the wouId-be next
governor looked behind him and saw
Hoffman's kodak planted on a table
and on a pile Of law books he brought
his speech to an abrupt termination
and left the court room. He never
waited to hear what VIII Ayers and
Earl Blake had to say in defense Of the
old man,

UNGALLANT POPULIsTS.
Refused to Indorse a Woman For the
Position of Circuit Clerk.

Macon, Mo, Sept. 15.-The Populist
county convention today was a tame
affair until the nominations for circuit
clerk were called for. Most of the can
didates so far had been declining, ex-
cept the fellows who were absent and
had the honOrs thrust upon them with
out their consent. The chairman had
spoken against fusion, the resolutions
had inveighed against it, every delegate
who had raised his voice declared he
was a middle f-the-roader from the
year I.
Then Captain John M. London Of
Morrow township got up and offered a
resolution indorsing the candidacy of
Miss Edna johnson for circuit clerk
Miss Edna has announced herself an
independent candidate, but it was I'M
derstOOd she would be willing to accept
POpuIists. Captain London said SO, and
he has been a Populist for % years or
more.
He said while bitterly opposed to fu-
sion on general principles he was broad
enough to recognize the woman's fitness
and as it was not, strictly speaking, a
political job, he thought she could III
the Office as well as any one else.
Then about every other delegate arose
and expressed himself. One said he was
in favor of fusion with the gentle sex
in everything except pOlitics-that was
asking too much. Another said his wife
would object to his indOrsing any other
woman besides herself.
F. A Quinn of Russell said the wo-
man had no right to seek their indorse-
ment unless she is a POpulist candi-
date and stands in the middle of the
road with both feet" AS Miss Johnson
was not present to explain whether she

Leavenworth, Sept. 15.-It has been
decided by the three English speaking
Odd Fellow lodges OF Leavenworth to

REFORM OF PROMOTIONS.
Secretary Long Talks of Two Bills He
is Having Prepared

Boston, Sept. 15.-John D. Long, sec
rotary OF the navy, looking as fresh and
rugged as a farmer, passed through
Boston this morning on his way to
Washington, whittier he had been sum
mOned by a telegraphic dispatch from
the capital. Mr.. Long returned home
at the old homestead in Buckfield. Me,
ana states that every moment of the
visit did him good. He was accompa-
MED on the return by Mrs. Long, who,
however, Is not in the best of health,
ana viii not return to Washington with
him, and may not go there this winter.
secretary Long expects to reach
washington tomorrow morning He
had intended to pay a visit to the navy
yard at Charleston and board some of
the warships before leaving for Boston,
but his sudden call to his post of duty
made this impossible
A short but important talk with the
secretary of the navy as he was wait
ing for his carriage at the railway sta
ton may carry joy to the hearts of
some of the most gallant officers in the
naval service, for it discovers the exist
ence OF a purpose on his part to do JUS
tice where injustice has been done, and
yet not as heretofore, at the expense Of
their more fortunate but not drawer
or more capable brother officers.
What viii be the effect of the pro-
posed bill of yours relating to promo
tons in the navy upon the men al
ready promoted for gallantry?"
He replied: THAT before leaving
Washington I directed the judge advO-
cate general to prepare two bills. The
first related to future promotions, and
contained a provision which made it
possible to promote a man without at
the same time practically degrading
others. The second bill deals with the
officers who have suffered in number
and otherwise by the promotions al
ready made, and aims so to provide that
they shall receive the promotion which
would have come to them at a certain
time had no exceptional promotions
ranged that these officers, to whom OPP
shall receive their due promotions with
out loss in point of time through promo
lions of others; in other words, to save
their numbers"
Were not some of these promotions
made in a measure independently of
you as secretary of the navy?"
ooh no, we had to make them. Be
sides. the men so promoted deserved
promotion. They had earned it. I
understand that many of the men in
the service feel very deeply the position
in which they have been placed by some
Of the promotions. And so do feel it
very keenly. But we did only what
was possible under the law and what
was wise in respect to the sentiment of
the people. All our men have behaved
magnificently during the war, not only
the officers, but the enlisted men of the
regular service and the marines. They
cannot be praised too highly for the
way they carried themselves

This is the season when every girl
who looks thoughtful may be safely

It is always a risky thing to pay a

LOCAL DRAMATIC NEWS.

In the merry operatic comedy
where's Matilda?" in which Miss Cla-
ra Thropp will appear at the Crawford
theater tomorrow evening there is plen-
ty of fun and clever acting. There are
comic songs, sailor songs, duets, with
comic dancing, dashing military songs
and chOruses, and all surrounding the
most 1udicrous situations. Where's
Matilda?'' is the work of Mr. Leopold
Jordan, who has given the stage sever
al successes in this line, and the music
is said to be especially catchy. This is
Miss Troops first year as star, but
some eastern papers have gone so far
as to say that the nantes of Lolita,
Rosina Vokes and Annie Pixley have
dropped upon her shoulders. Miss
Troops company includes thirteen ca
pable people.
Mirth, mystery and vaudeville is the
delightful admixture of the stage enter
tainment which is promised in the ap-
pearance of 1.-THE Great Triple Alliance"
in this city at the Crawford theater Sat
urday evening. The organization de-
rives it's title from the association Of
the three necromancers, Servais LIE
Roy, Imro Fox and Frederick Powell.
They represent in necromancy the gen
iuS of America, France and Germany.
Servais LIE Roy has been for some years
one of the highest salaried of illusionists
and prestidigitateurs, his art has been
termed marvellous, and he is admittedly
in the front rank of his profession. 1rmO
Fox in addition to being a necromancer
of the first order, is also a comedian
whose talents entit1e him to place up
on the dramatic stage; he is celebrated
for the novelties so frequently intro
duced in his stage work, and for the
many witty salIies with which he punct-
yates his performances. Frederick
Powell is regarded by those who know
him best as the most remarkable ex-
ponent of necromancy of his time. In
addition to these three great performers
there will be notable array of high class
vaudeville talent.

BRITISHPACTFTC CABLES.
Reason to Believe That England vii
Subsidize the New Routes.

London, Sept. 15.-It is expected here
that Mr.. Chamberlain, before returning
home will pay at least a flying visit
to Ottawa, in order, among other things
to talk over the Pacific cable scheme.
There is good reason to believe that the
colonial ministerfhas persuaded the chan
ceIIor of the exchequer to agree to pro-
vide money for a subsidy for all the
British cable routes in the Pacific, and
that an important announcement on
the subject will be made early in the
next session of the commons.
All the colonies have now agreed to
share in supplying the subsidy or %
guarantee 8 per cent upon the capital
of the company OF companies which
may lay the cables.

NOT FOR EVERYTHING.

But if you have weak kidneys, bladder
trouble or distressing kidney complaint, then
Swamp Root will prove to be just the remedy
you need. Too frequent desire to urnate,

expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
