THE YOUNGEST JULIET.
Miss Daisy Davidson, of Topeka, to
Study the Part This Coming

Miss Daisy Davidson, the Topeka
young lady, who aspires to be the
youngest Juliet on the stage, will go
to Atchison tomorrow to meet Mr..
Lewis Morrison, who appears there to-
morrow night in Faust" and make ar
rangements for spending the summer in
study under his direction in San Fran
cisco. When Mr.. Morrison was here a
year ago he took a great liking to Miss
Davidson, and offered to take her as a
student. The offer was gladly accepted
by the young lady, and she will spend
the entire summer under Mr.. Morrison's s
tutorship.
Miss Davidson has taken part in
number of amateur productions in this
city, and has shown unusual histrionic
ability on each occasion. She will prob
ably become a member of Mr.. Morri-
sons company at the close Of her study
next fall, adding another name to the
list of Topeka girls now on the stage.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1899-01-24

is very difficult thing in the larger
cities to get the right men for the right
places. Topeka in this respect is proba-
bly, more fortunate than most cities.
Here is Mr.. Drew, a man who has spent
more than half of his life in Topeka,
has an unimpeachable reputation, is
successful business man, a. councilman
who has for four years conducted his
part in the affairs of the city to the en-
tire satisfaction of the people who
chose him. His term expires in few
weeks but no man in his ward could
beat him if he chose to run for that
place.
Mr. Drew is not an experiment. The
people know what he is He has stood
the test on more than one occasion. He
is just, but he knows one corporation
has treated the city of Topeka in q
works company. May be it couldn't
help it, but that's their misfortune and
ought not be the city's. Mr.. Drew has
always been right on this question. 1t
doesn't make any difference whether
the opposing candidate thinks he is for
or against the city in this matter, we
know Mr.. Drew is for the city and the
citizens thereof on this subject. He has
made a record which is as an open
book Other men may talk, Mr.. Drew
has acted.
One of the principal issues in this
campaign is whether the city of Topeka
shall perpetuate the waterwOrks COM
pany and it's water affairs on the pres
ent basis or whether it shall take the
matter into its own hands and give
the city and the people thereof an ade-
quate service at a reasonable price
Today Topeka gets an inferior SER
vice, many portions of the city have no
water at all and the rest are paying too
much for what they do get.
This is a matter of dollars and cents
to every family in this city from the
poorest WasherwOman to the largest
capitalist The friends of the water
works company are working for the on
ly other candidate who has been an
nounced they brought him out and no
amount of Quibbling or evasion can dis
prove this. OF course, no man in To-
peka would dare come out openly and
say he believes in the present water
works company and its perpetuation.
But Mr.. Frank Brooks belongs exactly
in that attitude, whether he thinks he is
or not He was brought out by people
who are interested in the present wa
terworks company getting out of the
citizens of Topeka every dollar they can
possibly secure.
This is the issue and there is no get
ting around it. When such an able, en-
terprising, experienced man runs for
the office of mayor, as Charley Drew
now running, the masses of the people
should support him to a man and to
woman. He has force of character. He
would not be as mere clay to the potter
in the hands of some body or corpora
ton who wished to manipulate him. He
is well to do and is not making the race
for the bread and butter that is in it,
as one candidate announces. He be-
lieves it an honor to be mayor of Topeka
and he believes there are questions of
the greatest Importance to be decided
for the welfare of this city. He is on
the right side of these questions.
The city of Topeka has voted some
$40o. 700 in bonds. as much thereof to be
used as is necessary, to buy the present

AN ANr1-oLEo BILL,
Which Is Merely to Prevent the Pack
ing Houses From Coloring It

The anti-o1eomargarin bill succeeded
the barber bill yesterday in the matter
of having petitions presented in its be-
half. There were 19 petitions presented
asking for its passage. They came from
all parts of the state, and are signed
by creamery men and their patrons.
The bill is not to prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of oleomargarine but
is to prohibit the use of co1oring mat
ter in it to make it look like butter
Many people eat colored oleomargarine
under the impression that it is butter
who would not do so if they really knew
what they were eating.
There was also a petition presented
asking for the passage of the bill COM
the board of charities and another bar

annual meeting at Denver tomorrow
The resolution was unanimously adopt
ed and reads as follows:
Whereas, The stock yards law passed
by the Kansas legislature in the year
1897, was sustained by both the United
States district and circuit courts and is
now pending in the United States Su-
preme court; and,
Whereas, Said law cannot be success
fully enforced at Kansas City unless Il
similar law is passed by the legislature
of Missouri for the reason that the
state line between Kansas and Missouri
divides the Kansas City stock yards
leaving about one-half of the said stock
yards in each state; and,
Whereas, Said stock yards company
in order to evade said stock yards law
drive all stock from Kansas into Mis-
souri, for the purpose of sale; and,
Whereas, BY such action of said
stock yards company in removing all
stock from Kansas into Missouri, all the
stock interests of the great south and
west are compelled to pay the old ex-
orbitant charges and are deprived of
the benefits of the reduction in prices
provided in said Kansas law and the
said Kansas law is thereby made inop-
erative by. such action; and,
Whereas, There is now pending in the
legislature of the state OF Missouri

the Kansas law and the subject OF
stock yards legislation is matter OF
general interest to the stock raisers;
therefore, be it

happened to live in a district through
which a railroad ran.
The two levies would raise about $4
per scholar, and the bill provides that
this must be applied exclusively to the
payment of teachers. School improve
ments must be paid for out of a sep
arate levy on the school district alone.
Mr.. Burkholder's second bill makes
the minimum length of a school term
six months.
I'm 1876" said Mr.. Burkholder, 1--WE
made the minimum school term three
months. In 1881 it was heightened to
four months, and L think we better close
the century by giving the Kansas chill
dren a chance to go to school at least
six months in the year. This will be
made possible by my other school bill -
