Interesting Case Decided in Sumner
County Court.

The case of Shannon Wright against
James Teeter of oxford, Kan. had been
occupying the attention of the district
court since yesterday afternoon until this
morning. when it was settled. the jury re-
turning a verdict in favor of the plaintiff
by giving him judgment for one cent.
Some time ago Wright and Teeter be-
came involved in little difficulty over a
land dispute. nobody cares just what. and
as the outcome both parties became in
volved in a fist fight. Objectionable
names were passed. Teeter got the ad-
vantage of Wright and gave him what
Wright considered a severe beating.
Wright claims that he has since been
unable to work, and brought suit in dis
trict court against Teeter to recover dam
ages TO the amount Of 1920. OF this
amount $40 was for injuries 10 his health.
$50 for doctors bills and $50 for time lost.
From the evidence in the case the jury
failed to see where any damages were due
Mr.. Wright and settled it by allowing
him judgment for one cent.

ton and are alone as meritorious as
complete show. They will especially strive
to please the ladies and children at the
matinee. Edward Ventiers is at the head
OF the club and is unexcelled in buck, wing
and soft. shoe dancing. He also possesses
a beautiful voice, which he uses well.
Lumierre and Hickerson have doubled in

laughabe afterpiece, Midday FroliCs on

feet going in exactly the same steps is a
sight worth double the price of saamission.
The rag time duo Acker and Wesley, are
superb and are too well known TO need
any special notice. Felix McNeal IS a very
strong feature of the program. He is a
ballad singer of great merit and is a COM

WHAT THE BOYS EAT
Clerk Burt Tells How the SOL
dierS are Rationed.
GET THE BEST IN THE LAND
Each Month Uncle Sam Buys
Back the Surplus.
GET THE BEST IN THE LAND

Very few people realize what an enor-
NOUS amount of detail work is attached
TO the feeding Of an army of soldiers. Dur
ing the visit of Chief Clerk Burt TO his
home last week an Eagle reporter obtained
from him many interesting statistics which
are in the line OF duty performed by Cap
tain S n. Bridgman and Clerk Burt.
Mr.. Burt said: 'Tn the first place, all the
supplies being furnished to the armies that
are camped in the south comes through
the chief purchasing commissary, Colonel
Woodruff, with headquarters in New York
City. All the food used in the army is
purchased through advertised contracts.
Bids are sent in with samples for inspec-
ton. The goods purchased are sent to
brigade commissaries, who draw from 10
TO % days rations on each requisition
made. In our brigade we have now 3,150
men to feed, besides officers, VINO must
provide for themselves what they eat and,
sn fact, every man in the army does ike
wise who draws a salary of $50 and over.
Rations are issued TO the men from the
commissary department every five days,
and 1 want to say that no man can eat,
every day in succession, the amount of
food the government provides, and for
illustration I will give somewhere near the
amount Of food each soldier is entitled TO
every day, or, say we take 100 men, for
instance, and start with fresh beef, 125
pounds, or IS pounds Of fine, fresh bacon,
or the men can have 100 one-pound cans
of salmon, or they can get any part of the
three
They also draw 100 1S-ounce loaves OF
bread every day, or 1121z pounds of flour,
or 125 pounds Of corn meal They can
have Is pounds Of beans or split peas; 10
pounds of rice or hominy; 100 pounds of
potatoes, or 50 pounds of potatoes and Is
3-pound cans Of tomatoes; 10 pounds of
green coffee, or pounds of roasted. or
pounds of tea; l 5pounds of sugar; gall
Ion of vinegar; pounds of salt; ounces Of
pepper; pounds of soap: u candles be-
sides the lantern candles for guard duty
and salt for the animals. Now that is the
daily allowance for 100 men. and that is
what 1t is our duty TO get out for $500 men
every five days. besides the receiving of
stores by train loads every day or two.
Most Of the companies have q great deal
bf their stores left from day to day and in
one instance last month our brigade sold
back to the government S11i410 worth Of
flour alone. This money is divided among
the soldiers for canteen purposes. The can
teen sells pint bottles of beer for six cents
each. N6 whisky is allowed to be sold.
Each brigade has 80 4-mule teams and
wagons for hauling the stores through
camp, besides 80 educated pack mules,
which have their daily drills for practice
going through the woods with packs
strapped on, to teach them to pass trees
and distractions without knocking their
loads off. There is plenty OF work and fig
uring to do to keep this great number OF

conferred in Madame Scalchi. the contralto
who is famous over the world. Those VINO
expected to hear an unusual or phenome-
nally heavy voice. or a sort OF female
basso were disappointed. Madam Scalchi
possesses a voice that is noted for power,
sweetness and sympathy. Her voice Is
remarkable one and extremely fascinating
and pleasing to the ear, and when one
notes this in connection with her pleasing
stage appearance and winning manner and
grace, her popularity and great reputation
is explained. Madame Scalchi is still hand
some. but in former days she must nave
been singularly beautiful. She possesses
great charm when singing. Her numbers
pleased the audience, but her work in
II Trovatore was something fine. In this
she is strongest and in this kind of work
her greatest triumphs were won.
Madame Scalchi was ably supported by
Miss Mold, who has voice of rare sweet
ness and charm. range and power. Her
enunciation is almost perfect and the rip
pling music in Arditti's Sc Saran Rose and
in Trovatore was delightful. She received
hearty encore and responded with
Kathleen Mavourneen'' in English, which
pleased everybody.
The favorite of the company. to a great
extent, was Signor Alberti whose beauti-
full and soulful singing was truly delight
full. He put animation and life and power
into his singing and acting and among
the strongest features of the evening was
his solo work and duet with Miss Noldi.
Signor Canzio the tenor, has a voice
that is sweet, rich and of great range. but
hos fo16 III -, lyex frt,
is fault that is to be deplored.
There is a lesson in the reception which
the few numbers sung in English last night
received, which singers would do well TO
heed. If one-half of the numbers last night
had been sung in English il would have
pleased everyone better, with the possible
exception Of the singers Last night the
audience was generous in its applause with
all the concert numbers which were sung
in foreign tongue which gave the sing
ers substantial evidence of the appreciation
of their finish and technique, but this ap-
plause was tame in comparison with that
accorded the numbers sung in good old
fashioned English. 1t is sincerely hoped
that on next Saturday night there will
be more singing in the American tongue.
Martha would be especially acceptable if
sung in English or even in German.
On Saturday night, owing to impossible
train connections the company having
night open, Mr.. Martling of the Crawford,
has arranged for another nights entertain
ment by the Scalchi company, at which
time Madam Scalchi will sing her famous
song THE Lost Chord" in English The
second act of Martha and the first act Of
Semeramide will be given in full costume,
which will be a tr(~t to all music lovers.

banquet of the Walter Scott club, this
evening, met with an enthusiastic reeep-
tion Sir Herbert Maxwell, who presided.
made cordial reference,-to the friendship
then existing between the United States
and Great Britain. In proposing toast
to LITERATURE" Mr. Choute said:
In truth your country and mine are
connected by bonds OF sympathy that
were never closer than they are at this
very hour. I can assure you Lord Sails
buys generous and cordial words at
the lord mayors banquet, Yesterday, will
meet with a quick ard hearty response
beyond the Atlantic. 1t has been. said
by & great poet that Peace hath her vic
tories not less renowned than war; and
this ironclad friendship which now pre-
walls between these two kindred nations
is her latest and greatest victory 1t
means peace, not merely between your
country and mine, but among all the
great nations of the earth, and it tends,
by advancing civilization, to promote the
welfare of the whole human race
The remainder of a much-applauded ad-
dress was devoted to a humorous COM
parison between American and Scotch
character, as illustrated in everyday life,
and to q eulogy of Sir Walter Scott,
Andrew Land responded to the toast.
