mistake. She forgot that the daugh-
tiers of poverty stricken Indiana fam
lilies are not versed in the principles of
Delsarte, and she proved at different
times during the play that she was.
The audience also liked her lover, Mr..
Herman Hirshberg, because he was very
unaffected in this part and possessed an
unusually fine stage laugh. But unfor-
tunately for him, Mr. Hirshberg re-
allies that his laugh is a great accom-
plishment and displays 1T to too great
an extent.
Mr.. Thomas made a mistake when he
introduced the white cap scene in the
last act. 1t gives to the piece a coarse
melodramatic coloring for a. few min
utes, and is wholly out of place.

To SKEPTICAL ASTHMETICS.

The truly marvellous cures of Asthma
which have already been effected by Dr.
Rudolph Sohiffmann, certainly call for
notice. His preparation (Schiffman's
Asthma Cure) not only gives instant re-
lief in the most stubborn and obstinate
cases, but positively cures, in proof of
which hear what the town clerk at
Cavalier, n. D., Mr.. W. Sererus, says:
Il was troubled with asthma for %
years, about years ago started to use
your Asthma Cure, and have not had an
attack for six years.
Packages of Schiffmann's Asthma
Cure may be obtained of all Druggists
for soc and $1.O0 per package or by
writing direct to Dr. r. Schi6man, Box
s04, st. Paul, MINI.

Tacoma's Old Discharged Warrants
Reappear for Payment

Tacoma, Wn., Dec. 14.-In the city
warrant suits brought by the New
York Security and Trust company an
important and far reaching decision in
favor OF all warrant holders was made
by the court in holding that possession
of a warrant is prima facie evidence of
title in the holder and it is not neces-
sary to prove that genuineness of sig
nature Of the payee in endorsing the
warrant.
The plaintiffs had introduced their
warrants amounting to $3.50, 900 face
value and having proved by the as
sistant city treasurer the condition OF
the city funds, they rested their case
The city moved for a non-suit but the
court oVerruled the motion and the city
will take up the defense tomorrow. The
city contends that the warrants issued
mainly in 1898 have once been paid and
were reissued through collision with
the city treasurer.

POOR PLAY WELL ACTED.
Digby Bell and His Praiseworthy Ac-
tors Do Well With Bad Material

Digby Bell, the comedian, not the
star of burlesQue or comic opera, ap-
peared before a Topeka audience at the
Crawford theater last night in Angus
tus Thomas "Hoosier Doctor The
audience was attentive to Mr. Bells
DIR. Willow and in the end liked him
pretty we'll 1t noticed that at times Mr..
Thomas put words of cheap sentiment
in Mr.. Bells mouth and that at other
times the actors peculiar style of
humor had SAVIOR of farce or bur4e
but neither one or the other materially
affected Mr.. Bells portrayal 1t was
natural, and to be natural on the stage
Is to be artistic. If there was fault to
wright more than the actor was re-
sponsible for It. DIR. Willow IS an ex-
ceptlon in the hustle and grind of the
nineteenth century, but he IS and excep-
tion that Is met with from time to
tiIne' ana Mr.. Bell made him on the
stage as he would be found and has
oeeh found IN real life. He was natural
but scarcely likabIe.
MT Bell has a uniformly capable COM
pany supporting him. As Grandma"
Mrs Laura Joyce Bell shares honors
with her husband and makes her char
acteF1zatton probably more free from
criticism than any of the others. She
was, indeed. the main character of the
piece. OF the three daughters Miss
Elsie Esmond as Martha has the most
important part, and the audience liked
her. But Miss Esmond made one fatal

TOPEKA CAMERA PICTURES
Scores of Interesting Views are Now
on Exhibition at Masonic Building.

In England a red light means a doc
tors Office, but in Topeka. it means the
Topeka Camera club. Last night red
light was hung in front of the rooms o
the club IN the Masonic building to an
nounce the fact that the clubs exhibi-
tons of prints was opened to the public.
The admittance is free.
Around the sides OF the room the pic
lures are arranged in a very artistic
manner and it is doubtful If a club of
twice the membership of the Topeka
club could make a more pleasing ex-
hibit. While the pictures were not ia
ken for exhibition purposes still they
were worthy of competing with pictures
that have won prizes in open cOmpeti-
ton.
John Strickrott has Velox print of
Moonlight on The Kansas" that really
flatters the muddy Kaw. Another, The
Fork on The Road is scene from
Ohio that is worthy of a painters
brush.
Harry seery has a blue print of a
above 1t hangs a bromide enlargement
by w. E. Culver. This is one of the
most striking pictures in the collection.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. E. Swift have some
Celeritypes of an old mill and a study
of the famous Hot Springs pines. One
section of their exhibit is a collection
of cloud studies, in blue prints, taken
in different parts of the country.
A. W. Tanner exhibits a. collection of
pigment prints in red, brown and green
shades, of scenes in Old Mexico and
along the Mississippi.
w. E. Culver exhibits a bromide en-
largement of the gateway to the Gar
den Of the Gods, a Vera Matte of
Priscilla and very effective picture
entitled Before the Storm
The most interesting. and one of the
most artistic exhibits is the one of Mrs.
D. J. Hathaway of North Topeka. The
collection consists of views of castles
and ruins Mrs. Hathaway has visited
in the old countries. Among them "Old
MILL" Warwick; PeterborO Castle, Eng
land; Alpine Roadway, Switzerland;
Conway Castle. Wales; Muckross Abbey,
Ireland; Tuileries Gardens, Paris; Street
Scene, Holland; Porto San Sebastiano,
Rome; Notre Dame, Paris; Canterbury
Cathedral, England, and Cottage scene
Stratford on Avon, England.
At present the popular theme among
all artists seems to be the cathedrals
and bridges of England and it IS safe
to say that a finer collection of such
views could not be found than those
taken by Mrs. Hathaway. Besides the
interesting subjects the pictures are

HE NEVER CAME BACK.
Barney Phale Goes Ashore in Alaska
and is Killed by Indians.

Wrangel, Alaska, Dec. II. via Vic
toria, Dec. 14.-About three weeks ago
Captain James Nelson of the Halibut
sloop Caroline, and Barney Phale, a
fisherman, went ashore on Kupriauoff
island in Portage bay to hunt for deer.
Phale never came back and the captain
tells that he was deliberately shot by
Indians. This explanation is accepted
by the Halibut fleet that fishes in Fred
erick sound. The Halibut schooner
Two Brothers has been missing nearly
six weeks and it is feared she has been
lost with all on board. One of her boats
was recently found in a badly battered
condition.
