MOrrfson's Faust"

A good play needs no eulogistic in
troduction. To announce the coming
of Lewis Morrison's Faust" is suf-
ieient. The story is as well known as
Rip Van Wrinkle, or Robinson Crusoe.
A resume is therefore superfuous. Suf-
flee it to say the production from a
theatrical standpoint, is this season alb
solutely new and the grandest and most
expensive yer given of this classical
gem. A h%istrionic treat of more than
ordinary merit is guaranteed. While
many have tried Faust" Mr.. Morri-
son is the only one who has made the
play famous and, from a financial
standpoint. profitable. By merit it has
won success and by merit it retains it
and it is truthfully said that the man
agement adheres rigidly to that pre-
cept. The company presenting it this
season is n of exceptional merit and
includes an augmented chorus superior
to any ever heard here outside of Grand
Opera. Opera House Monday night.

George II. Broadhurt's farce, What
Happened to Jones'" is described as a
hilarious sufflciency." If there is
such a thing known to anatomists as
muscles visibility, what happens to the
audience when they see Jones is GER
tainly a strain upon them. This great
success, and the best evidence that
Jones is a success is the fact that big
crowds go to see it in every town il
is played-is simply a spirited, bright
ly written, well constructed bit of
nonsense, presented by a capable COM
pany OF play ers. All that happens to
Jones is due to the desire Of the police
to lay hands upon an offender in the
incidents OF a lively evening. He finds
refuge in Jle home of a ~nen-pecked
college professor, who has a black eye
TO account for to the head of the house:
the fugitive, Jones, m~asquerades as his
hosts brother, an Australian Bishop,
and has abundant chance to prove his
ability as a cheerful liar. The real
bishop arrives, and is prosecuted as
an escaped lunatic and an imposter.

was extended to the entire company
after the particularly happy finale.

WHEAT-MASON.
Two Pardon Cases Now Before
the Governor.
One a Negro Highway Robber,
the Other a Banker.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Both Seem to Be Well Fortified
in That Respect.
Negro However Has Bad Prison
Record.

Harrison Wheat, a Topeka colored |
man, robbed William Norton of $3.50 |
and got ten years in the penitentiary. |
Harry Mason of Marion preferred cred
itors, kited checks and wrecked a bank.
He was sent up for two years. The
friends of Mason contend that he has
been sufficiently punished. The same
position is taken by Wheat's friends.
Application has been made to Cover
nor Stanley for a pardon for Wheat.
In January, 1897, he was sentenced to
ten years in the penitentiary for rob-
berry.
In a letter to the governor Judge
Hazen says:
AT the time of the trial and sentence,
while 1 had doubt of the defendants
guilt, yet felt that the circumstances
surrounding the commission of the Of
Tense were such that the least punish
ment that could be imposed, ten years,
was too severe, and then announced
that 1 would, after the defendant had
served three years in the penitentiary,
recommend his pardon.
In my judgment his is a proper case
| for executive clemency and I would
recommend that he be pardoned.
| Il would have been better satisfied
| with the verdict if the jury had only
/ found him guilty of larceny from the
person, although I think the jury justi-
/ fed in the verdict returned"
The following signatures 'concurring'
| in Judge Hazen's recommendations, ap-
| pear on this letter:
A. P. Jetmore, Galen Nichols, Mayor
| c. ]. Drew, A. K. Rodgers, Postmaster
| John Guthrie, A. NJ. Callahan, clerk of
the court; Probate Judge Dolman,

An amusing incident in this case is E
''shot" at Henry Allen by Warden J
| B. TOmlinSOn. of whom the governor
sought information concerning Wheat:
prison record 1t was found that Whea
had been disciplined severely. Under
date of April II, 1900, Mr.. Tomlinsol
states the following violations:

ernor saying:

tors"
Y June Mr. Tomlinson writes again
concluding by saying: ''Lavey was i
the habit of magnifying cases which

case. I think most of the offense wa

WANT STREET CARS.
Topeka Avenue Residents Ask That
Line Be Operated or Taken Up.

The residents of Topeka avenue, be-
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets,
have presentedSa petition to the city
council requesting that the street car
line south of Fourteenth street either be
operated or taken up.
This line was built about u years ago
and has been operated only when there
was some attraction at the fair grounds
because the street railway company did
not consider that the line paid at any
other time The petition is signed by all
the residents. of the city living on To-
peka avenue below Fourteenth street
and by several property owners who
live on the same block outside the city
limits.
That section of the avenue from Four
teenth to the city limits will be paved
this summer as it is included in the
new paving contracts let by the city and
the residents of the adjacent property
will use every effort to have the track
torn up or operated.
President c. c. Baker of the city rail-
way says it is the purpose of the COM
pany to operate this line as soon as it
can be put into shape.

NORMALLY BEHIND BARS.
Well Known Populist Politician Re
fuses to Give Bond.

r. H. Semple, better known as Col.
Bob" Semple, was nominally behind
the bars at the city prison Tuesday af-
ternoon In reality he was not.
The case of the city against the
Amity club was called at o'clock.
Semple was arrested, as president of the
club, or the charge of selling liquor III
violation of the law. The case came up
for trial yesterday and was continued
until June 20 by the city attorney. Sem
pie was informed by the court that he
would have to again furnish bond or be
committed to jail. Semple refused to
furnish any more bond. Police Judge
MagaW ordered him committed to Jail
Semple's attorneys at once brought ha-
beas corpus proceedings in the court of
appeals for his release. The court was in
session last night for the hearing OF the
petitions and ordered briefs submitted
and the hearing of the case was set for
July 10. Semple's bond was placed at
$500. He furnished it. The defense will
be made on the ground that the city or
dinance under which Semple was ar
rested is void. The point to be made is
that there is a state law which makes
all fines collected payable to the school
fund and that in Topeka fines collected
under the liquor ordinance are turned
into the city treasury. 1t is claimed that
| the city has no power to impose i'm
/ priSOnment
