MR.. WARES PICTURES.
he Loans Two to the City Library
Art Gallery.

Eugene Ware has recently placed two
pictures in the new reading room of the
city library. One of them is of Judge
William Margrave, of Fort Scott, who
was a justice of the peace before Kan
sas was divided up into counties.
The picture is by Mrs. Hanna Cuth-
bertson, of Fort Scott, and is as Mr.
most incomprehensible.' The picture is
in oil. Beside it in a separate frame is
a printed history of the judge, and his
first commission, dated Decem Der 5,
1854, and a map of Kansas showing the
territory under his former Jurisdiction.
He formerly had over half the pOpula-
tion of the state in his district He has
tried IA 294 lawsuits.
The other picture is called The Wash
erwoman-" Tt is an oil painting done on
canvas in black and white. The pic
ture shows the interior of a room in a
WasherWOman's home. The woman her
self is portrayed standing beside the

the trees may be seen in the hazy dis

The picture has the effect of an en-
craving, and is very creditable piece
with such precision that as a. whole it
gives a pleasing effect. The picture is

MARLOWE IN MAJORS PLAY
'When Knighthood Was in Flower a
Pronounced Success.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 27.-Julia Mar
loves production of when Knighthood
was in Flower was given it's first per-
Torrance at the Olympic theater last
night. The play was greeted by an
audience that filled the doors. Paul
Kestor's dramatization of Charles
Majors romance of chivalry made a
profound impression from the opening
scene, which disclosed a view of Wind
scr park in May day, 1913.
The stage was crowded with courtiers
pages and May day merrymakers, and
the details of scenery and costumes
gave convincing proof of the liberality
and effort Miss Marlowe has bestowed
upon the mounting of the play Miss
Marlowe won a personal triumph of ex-
traordinary proportions, being repeat
edly called before the curtain at the
conclusion Of each act.
The scene in which Mary Tudor Miss
Marlowel defies her brother was 50 mod
flied as to read:
Garry this message to- the king; I
viii see him and the whole court sunk
in hell before I will marry Louis of
France
The profanity over which Mr. Major
and Miss Marlowe were said to have
Quarreled was omitted
Mr.. Major was present but did not
respond to prolonged cries for his ap-
pearance.

BOOM PERIOD COMING.

Henry Clews in his Weekly Financial
Review predicts a bewiIderment of
booms He says:
Sanguine observers will find in the
situation as it stands plenty of reason
for expecting continued speculative and
investment activity. We have had a
long run of dullness in the market, and
revival was therefore to be naturally
expected The election has created a
situation calculated to foster booms in
many directions. Judging from COM
mon report. the leading branches of in
dustry are each promised their own
bOOms- New corporations are forth
coming at a. rate which promises a pro-
nounced revival of the Industrial
boom If the China troubles should be
satisfactorily settled, we may look for
a "CelestiaP' boom with wide-reaching
consequences. We seem destined, in
deed, to enter the twentieth century in
the midst Of a bewi1derment of booms.
But, all enthusiasm apart, there does
seem much solid promise of an era of
prosperity that will give enhanced value
to all forms of sound enterprise: and,
much as financial values have already
risen. 1t would be venturesome to pre-
dict that they will not advance still fur
Their before the end has been reached:
reactions of more or less severity of
course are now in order and must be
expected. We recommend for the pres
ent quick in-and-out turns rather than
buying for long pulls. The frequent
fluctuations hereafter will be very
profitable to the nimble operator who
catches them.

Lying south of the western end of
Cuba, the Isle of Pines commands the
western or Yucatan entrance to the gulf,
and forms an important outpost for the
defense of the Nicaragua canal.
While Secretary Root visited Cuba, he
went to the island and recognized it's
strategic Importance. The state de-
partment now holds that under the
treaty of peace the title of the Isle of
Pines passed to the United States
Secretary Root holds a similar view.
The northern side of the island-that

valuable woods. and the climate is 50

PRIZE BUTTON DESIGN.
Travelling Men to Be the Only Con-

The board of directors of the Kansas
Semi Centennial Exposition association
will give a cash prize to the travelling
man of Kansas who submits the best
design for the official button Of the
Kansas Exposition.
The amount to be put into the prize
has not yet been named but it will be
in keeping with the value of the service
and will make it well worth the trying
for.
Mr.. Beal, secretary of the association.
has been in correspondence with the
officers of the grand council of Kansas
of the Order of United Commercial
Travellers on this subject. The names
of every travelling man doing business
in the state of Kansas will be secured
and notices sent them. Mr.. E. w.
Poindexter of the executive committee
is handling the matter for the Order of
Commercial Travellers.
The contest will be open only to the
travelling men of Kansas The object
will be to secure a design to be adopted
as the official trade mark of the exposi-
ton. The contest will no doubt bring
to light many novel ideas and there is
no question of the fact that a suitable
trade mark will result from the con-

RAAB HAS TRIALS.
Accuses Herman Bankey With Max
ing His Life Miserable.

The trial of Herman Bankey for as
saulting Louis Raab was commenced in
the city court this morning.
Raab complains that he had been
made the victim of several attacks from
unknown parties. His house was stoned
and the windows broken. He lives seven
miles east of town. The long, galvanized
iron bucket from his driven well was
stolen. He claims that for a long time
he did not know who stole the bucket
and that one night he was hiding under
a tree in his yard and he saw Bankey
come to the house. He had the bucket
in his hand and was about to hurl it
through a window when Raab stopped
him.
