Henry I[o.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1900-03-29

calls the gentle. simple, self sacrificing
hero of "Shore Acres" and has the eff
feet of exciting regret that his ability
should be limited to such a character as
the politically ambitious village post
master
The limitations placed on ability in
the representation of Seth Higgins is
not the only injury Mr.. Boyd suffers
He is scarcely given an opportunity to
display what little ability he can force
into the character THE Village Post
master" is construction OF scenes
which probably faithfully show the en-.
vironnents of New Hampshire country
life 80 years ago, with melodramatic
plot which would be a credit to any
of the cheaper class of rural plays
Uncle Hirams'' and Josh Sprucebys
are brought wildly to mind by the per-
sonal encounter of the hero and the viii
lain and the thrilling escape of the he
roine in the third act. In the midst of
the workings of the plot and the pro-
duction of local color effects Mr. Boyd
is allowed to appear at intervals after
his introduction as the village postmaS-
ter and the eSta bliShment of the fact
that he has political aspirations. AT ev-
cry successive appearance it is expect
ed the piece will take a turn that will
give him a chance to show his ability
as a character actor. and as a result
every successive appearance is a diSap-
pointment He has not sufficient oppor-
tunitieS to make his part a principal
one Seth Higgins is simply one of
many characters used in a stage pic
ture of New England rural life proceed
ing the civil war without sufficient
strength to excuse the action of Mr..
Boyd's manager in shouldering it upon
him.
The Village Postmaster" is well
staged and costumed, and the company
with Mr.. Boyd this season is undoubt-
eddy capable of a much better produc-
ton. The piece, devoid of its local color
effects. is simply a story of how a good,
honest upright preachers son was tenn
porarily triumphed over by a dishon-
orable young political heller, while the
sad eyed heroine grew thin and pale
under the cross put upon her by an am
bilious father. AS is true of all such sill
ly stage stories the good young man
appears in the nick of time to foil the
william and claim the sad eyed heroine,
having in the meantime grown i'm
mensely wealthy through a threshinE
machine invention. It is the same story
that is told for 10, 20 and go cents al
least one night every week of a roper
toire cOmpanys stand.
Archie Boyd and the work of the
scenic artist and costumer in creating
local color are altogether responsible
for the success of THE Village Post
master"
To the credit of Mr.. Rosenquest, Mr.
Boyd's manager, it may be said that he
recognizes the fact that the piece is not
worthy of the accomplished actor, and
is having a new production written for
him for next season.

ELLIOTT WARNED THEM.
Advised Property Owners That They
Should Wait With Paving Petitions.

Councilman John Elliott does not like
the insinuation that has been made by
some of the west side property owners
that he is responsible. for the delay in
paving some of the streets on the west
side, for which petitions have been
granted by the council and the first
instaIlment of taxes collected.
Mr.. Elliott is chairman of the streets
and walks committee, and the charge
was made that he had been engineering
the paving contracts SO that all the
brick must be purchased of Topeka
brick companies, thereby holding back
the paving until the local brick COM
panies can make the brick.
Il told those people when they pre-
scented their petition that it would be
impossible to get the paving done last
year, and they had better hold their
petition back for awhile, but they put
it in anyway They understood that
the paving could not be done last year.
I am not working in the interests of
any brick company, but in the inter
ests of the city and for good pave
mentS."
1t was charged that the paving con-
tracts specified that Shawnee county
brick must be used in the paving, and
the parties making the charge thought
they had discovered a piece of jobbery,
but an investigation Of the contracts
proved that there was nothing of the
kind in them.
I'VE do not specify anything of that
kind in the contracts" said Mayor
Drew, but I don't know that it would
be any crime if we did give preference
to home products. Specimens of south
ern Kansas brick have been filed with
the city engineer by contractors who
they are not as good as Shawnee
county brick

BUILD A CANAL.
Residents of the Red River Valley Have
a Canal Scheme.

A meeting has been held at Fargo by
promoters of a scheme to build a canal
by which the Red river valley may be
saved from %inundation, and at the same
time afford a water route for products to
to the gulf. DR.. R. G.. Kelsey of White
Rock, S. D., is one of the leaders in the
scheme. He addressed the meeting held
to discuss the matter, and in substance
said hat the idea of the association is to
secure control of the waters of the Red
river, and it's tributaries, so that the
flow of the Red river can be kept within
its banks, thus preventing the destruc-
tions caused by its overflows. Continu-
ing, the doctor said that from accurate
estimates obtained there were millions
of dollars worth of crops and farm stock
destroyed annually. In the Red river
valley, the richest farming country in
the United States, the loss of wheat
alone was an enormous item. Larger
than people had any idea of. Thousands
and thousands of acres between Fargo
and the boundary line are overfowed
annually, the overflow often extending
over a radius twenty miles wide. People
have to take refuge from the floods on
house tops, and too, the loss of farm
stock and hay lands is very great.
Closing, DR.. Kelsey said that Colonel
Jones, United States engineer, now To-
Gated at Bottineau, and formerly in
charge Of this section to the Pacific
coast, completed surveys in 1892 in which
he shows that a perfect reservoir system
can be secured at a cost not to exceed a
million dollars. This system would pro-
vide for a reservoir at each of the follow
ing points: Red Lake, Lake Traverse
and Big Stone Lake. The water from
the Lake Traverse basin could be made
to flow south to the Minnesota river and
north to the Red river. He said the
farmers in the Minnesota and Red river
sections are a unit in demanding that the
improvements be made.

Friends are but bubbles in a bowl,
Mere empty things, devoid of soul,
just what shines upon,
A puff of wind and-pish! they're gone.
Now see! So carefully I've wrought,
70 raise and fashion one from naught,
A passing gust, a zephyr veers,
Ny bubble bursts and disappears!
I sit and gaze at one I've made,
Rejecting gems Of light and shade,
When IoI it bursts ~ the friendship flies
And leaves but soap dust in my eyes!
So thick they cluster, bright they shine,
So delicate, bright-hued and fine,
So fair, SO ine-to look upon,
But touch, SO lightly-puf! they're gone!

A Liberal Offer.

The Northwestern newspaper which is
conceded the largest circulation is the
Minneapolis Tribune. AS an all round
purveyor of information and entertaining
reading its popularity is the best proof of
it's ascendency.
What the Daily Tribune is to the city
people the Twice-a-We edition of the
same publication, the Farmers Tribune,
is to that great majority of the people of
the state who are too busy to read a
daily paper.
The Twice-a-Week Farmers Tribune,
is, to all intents and purposes, the farm
er's daily: 1t is a condensation of the
news for the three days preceding the
date of publication and it contains the
very latest news up to the hour of going
to press.
The Farmers Tribune does not pre-
sumo to take the place of the home
weekly, but it supplies the place just
outside of the sphere of the home paper,
and in this capacity it is of the highest.
value to a large majority of the people of
the northwest.
The Bismarck Tribune has made ar
engagements with the publishers of The
Farmers Weekly whereby it is enabled
to make the most liberal and astonishing
offer we aver made.
If you are now a subscriber for the
Tribune we will send you The Farmers
Tribune (twice-a-week) with your paid
in-advance renewal of subscription to
the paper. You thus get the two papers
for s1.25. No stronger inducement
could DO offered. Pa
The same offer is also extended to new
subscribers.
Do not delay taking advantage of this
offer. 1t will not be continued long,
You cannot afford to let this splendid
opportunity slip by. Send in your sub.
scription to the Bismarck Tribune and
get with it The Farmers Twice-a-W Week
Tribune free.
