WEI Davis, the theatrical manager, is a native of h. diana, as is also her 15-year-old son. The great contralto herself is Hoosii T enough to have wept once upon hear ing the popular song, "On the Banks of the Wabash" The weeping happened down in Texas, near Waco, a year or so ago.
 "I was in q train wreck" said Mrs Davis. and I'll never forget how it scared me. The engineer Of our train had run his engine square into the rear to see my mother in the doorway and the Wabash, the dear old Wa bash. l broke down and cried. And after that I called the little boy to me and had him st down beside ma.

PASSING OF THE PRAIRIE DOG


 Passengers on the @" system who have ridden the better part Of a day through western Nebraska and eastern Colorado will remember the prairie dog. He is numerous in that section of the country. He lives in villages ana the villages ara as close together as the villages of certain parts of Europe.
 But the prairie dog has had his day. The Agricultural department says he must go. MT. Wilson has decided that the dogs kill hhe grass and ruin good grazing land. "Tama Jim" has little of the love of the picturesqueness in his makeup. He is eminently rraut.- cal and his philanthropy is of the type which seeks to make two blades of grass grow instead of one. Therefore h. proposes to relegaGe the prairie dog to the picture book and to rhe stuffed specimens 3f the museums along with the buffalo.
 Mir Wilson's chemists have discov- cred d mixture which will make whole villages fight for tllc frsh bite. but which at the last stingetn likt a sr r. pent and biteth like an adder. Under it's influence the hole that knows the prairie dog will know it no more forev- CT. The frisky. nervous, barking lb.tle beast will join the innumerable cara van of prairie dogs who have gone be- fore
 There will be more grass when the prairie dog is gone and therefore more cattle. There will be less breaking of the legs of the cowboys ponies and the rattlesnakes will live alone in the hole

the city generally.

night endorse the affair." and that they
had appeared before the Street and Sewer
Directors yesterday morning and re-
ceived encouragement
He said that they desired the endorse
ment OF the Police Commissioners now
and later on police protection at the car

He invited the commissioners to at
tenu the open meeting whlch will be
held in tfe Grand Opera IIobse on FRI

'g the project OF holding the carnival.

scope of Street Carnival.

on the interest the manufacturers and
business men of tile city will take in the

tion, which was unanimously passed:
