German American vaudeviIIes.

The German-A merican Vaudevilles
will arrive here Sunday and their
opening entertainment will be given
on the following evening.
The beginning of this unique SER
les of entertainments will be gala
evening, and the youth and beauty of
our town will undoubtedly be found
enjoying the hospitality of the Vaud-
evilles. Within the big tent, under
the magic spell of the music, the mer-
riment, the rythmic cadence of dam
cling feet, the hours will pass all too
quickly. The constant succession of
new and delightful forms of enter
tainment precludes even possibility
of the show becoming tedious. Ka-
leidoscopic change is the keynote of
the entertainments, and the fact of
there being an entire change of pro-
gram each evening renders it a pleas
ure for the came ones to attend the
performances night after night.
The management has made every
effort to bring together class of per-
formers who are real artists. and their
success is evidenced by the grand gall
axy of vaudeville Stars who compose
the company.

From the wichita Eagle
The meteorite that went whirling
through the upper air a few nights
ago, lighting up the whole country
with dazzling brilliancy, then speed
ing onward to be quickly lost in
space, and followed by deafening
roar like the booming of cannon, was
fairly typical of many of the travelling
medicine companies which have
passed through Wichita in the last
few years. They come from no one
knows where, flood the country with
lurid announcements Of great things
they intend to do and the wonderful
cures they are able to accomplish;
then after a few days of trumpet
blowing and money-grabbing they
depart as mysteriously as they came.
The heavy detonations that follow
their midnight flight is the chorus of
disgust and disappointment that goes
up from the hundreds who believed
their promises, invested their money
in worthless and frequently harmful
nostrums, warranted to cure all
human ills, and then found them
selves duped and swindled.
The German-American staff of ply
sicians and surgeons who have been
in Wichita for the past ten weeks,
and whose engagement closes tonight,
are noble exception to the general
rule. Their Kansas record is an open
book. They have been in Hutchinson,
] Newton and Wichita since December
8, and their next stop will be in Ar
Kansas City, then at Guthrie. Their
departure is matter of general regret
rather than of congratulation, for
they have brought gladness to scores
of Wichita homes, and benedictions
instead of maledIctions, will follow
them to their new fields of labor.
Through their skillful ministrations
the roses of health has been restored
to many a fair cheek and the old time
zest and pleasure of living have been
brought back to many whom disease
has wasted until life was scarce worth
the living. Results have been accom-
pitched here by the application OF
professional skill, scientific principles
and the use of the latest and best
surgical appliances known, that
would have been heTalded abroad as
triumphs in operative surgery had
they occurred in any of the large
cities OF the east and been achieved
by the old school doctors.
Tho supremest test of the ability OF
q physician is in the diagnosis Of dis
ease. II he is correct in this, and has
knowledge and skill, he may hope to
achieve success; If not, failure is fore
ordained. DIR. Keith, examining spec
ialist, 10 profoundly versed in medical
science, and in addition to his wonder
full intuitive knowledge of disease
symptoms, brings to aid all the late
appliances for examining the various
organs and parts of the body To his
careful, skillful and conscientious
work in examining his patients Is due
in large measure the great success
which the German-American staff OF
Physicians and Surgeons have had in
Wichita, He is certainly a wonderful
man. For ten weeks he has labored

For one who delights in the study
of human nature in all it's kaleid-
oscopic phases, it would be diff
cult to find better vantage point than
10 afforded one who stands at the en-
trance of the big tent on South Main
street and watches the crowds that
swirl in ever changing eddies into
the great enclosure. Last night q
reporter stood there, near the ticket
booth, presided over by genial Profess
sor Clark, pursuing his favorite study.
Hundreds trooped by him, each
seeming to bear upon his countenance
a truthful epitome of his life's history.
The school girl tripped by with elastic
step and bright eyes and her face was
wreathed in a happy smile that pro-
claimed az though penciled there in
golden letters that her young life was
as yet untouched by sin or sorrow and
that the future to her vision was one
long vista of golden possibilities. The
matron leading her little ones by the
hand passed by her thong hts evidently
concerned with the happiness of her
charges. Her heart was full Of the
peace that comes of a life of devotion
to others. Young men crowded in,
fearful lest they should miss some OF
the good things on the inside. How
easy to pick out from among those
who would drift along with the cur
rent and ultimately fail, from those
upon whose brows the good influences
of home, the in born tendency to as
pire and the practice of temperate
habits had stamped the word "suc-
cess.n
So the reporter unused, when his at
tention was suddenly attracted by a
conversation between Professor Clark
and a rather weakly looking man who
leaned heavily upon the counter OF
the ticket stand.
The reporter recognized him as Sim
Trsvers, who lived at 1876 North Tope-
ka avenue, and who but few weeks
ago was given up by the resident doc
tors to die. Approaching nearer the
following conversation was heard:
"Well. Travers," said Professor
Clark in kindly tone, show do you
feel to-day?"
