BERESFORD WAS FUNNY.
His Audience Got What Tt Went to
the Theatre For.

There is certainly a place open in the
actors hall of success for Harry Beres-
ford. Two audiences which saw him at
the Crawford Saturday, and they were
audiences that filed the theater, SO voted
after seeing 1.-THE Wrong Mr.. Wright
Mr.. Beresford is of the Harry Corson
Clark type of comedians, and that is GER
tainly a good class to be in. He looks
to every little detail of the part from
the stiff uncontrol of his hands to the
smallest wrinkle that hovers about his
mouth. Broadhurst's comedies are gen.
orally one man pieces and THE Wrong
Mr. Wright is no exception and, much
the better when you see Beresford in the
part His little affair with the female
detective, the many ludicrous situations
he gets into on account of adopting a
new name are uproariously funny There
is not new idea in the piece. All of
them have been used for years and ages,
ever since Goldsmith constructed She
Stops to CONQUER, but they have been
witticisms and no one will complain of
their not being original. The company
supporting Mr.. Beresford was salts

TOPEKA PLAYED WELL.
High School Football Eleven Evens
Up With Kansas City.

With the score six to six the Kansas
City Central high school football team
left the Washburn gridiron Saturday
afternoon, where they had struggled
with the eleven from the Topeka High
school, well content
The Missourians were particularly
well pleased for they felt during the
first half that they would suffer defeat
and had the Topeka team played the
article of football throughout the game
that they displayed during the first few
minutes of play, Kansas City would
have had to have been content without
score. Topeka scored in the first half
and Kansas City in the second half.
Kansas City took the kick off and
then the Topeka team commenced
series of end runs, tackle and center
bucks that completely swept the visit
ing team off their feet. They could not
stop the heavy charges of the Topeka
team until the 35 yard line was reached.
Then they made a stand and the To-
peka system of fast playing began to
lag. The Topeka team soon secured
the ball again and carried it danger
OuSly near the Kansas City teams goal
when the visitors again made a stand.
But for a blocked quarter back punt
the Topeka team might not have scored.
The punt was blocked and was secured
by freshman and carried still nearer
the south goal. A couple of bucks and
Topeka went over for a touch down
from which a goal was kicked.
The second half was series of punts
and the play was in Topeka territory
The Kansas City team carried the ball
dangerously near the Topeka goal line
and then the home team took a decided
brace and Stubbornly fought every foot
of ground but all to no use The game
ended with the ball close to the center
of the field
Both teams at times played steady
ball and at other times gave exhibitions
of very ragged playing. The game was
full of fumbles and time was taken to
the full limit repeatedly for wind and
injured players. The Topeka teams in
reference repeatedly started so far
ahead of the ball that the Kansas City
ends broke up the plays with little trou-
Bile. The teams lined UP as follows:

physicians have a puzzling case. About
three weeks ago Arthur Shock was
mysteriously hurt. and it has developed
into very peculiar case. He was found
one morning lying stretched out fiat on
his back in a pasture. When last seen
he was riding a pony in the field on a
Thursday afternoon. The next morn
ing he was found and the pony returned
home badly cut by wire. Since that
time Shoeck has been unconscious and
kept up a continual shout for some
thing to eat It seems he cannot pos
sibiy eat enough. He has taken scarce
~ any sleep in the three weeks. 1t
rained all night the night he was hurt
and the doctors think he was struck by
lightning, as there is not a bruise nor
scratch on his body.

By A NARROW MARGIN.
Washburn Wins From st. Joe in
Score of 8 to B.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Oct. 1.-THE Wash
burn eleven defeated the Ellsworth
Medical college eleven Saturday after
noon in one of the prettiest games ever
seen here The score was 6 to 8. Full
back Blair, for the Medics, made a
touchdown and Fullback Gale perform
ed like feat for Washburn. The Ems
worthS were weakened by the loss of
three of their best players, among them
Coach Morley, of Kansas City. The
elevenS were well matched in weight
and science. The attendance was good.
The doctors made nearly all their
gains by bucks on the line, while Wash
burns excelled in end runs and end
bucks. The Medics' one score was made
on iuke after a punt by Gill had been
partly blocked. On the contrary Wash
burn played a better, cleaner game and
showed a superior system. They made
their touchdowns after steady gains,
both through the line and around the
ends.
The features of the game were end
runs by Mehl and Banks, and Gill's line
bucking for Washburn and the work of
Blair and Merchal for the Medics.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

1.-THE Village Postmaster New

the Crawford on Tuesday. The story
of this famous play is SO simple that all
can follow it intelligently and what is
more to the point, can realize and COM
prehend its value as an entertainment
and it's great moral worth to every hu
man being. Its plot is not involved, but
the piece demands your attention until
the final curtain falls. After a run of
227 nights at the Fourteenth Street the
alter, New York, and successful engage
ments in the eastern cities, THE Village
POSTMASTER went to Chicago for the
first time last May and had a run of 125
nights at the Great Northern theater, in
that city. Crowds were turned away
from the theater at every performances.
and the play could have undoubtedly
run all the season if existing contracts
had not interfered.

one of this seasons biggest novelties in
the list of sensational plays. The man

MIR. cARNEeiE's DISTRESS.

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 The list of MT. Carnegie's benefactions published in the Sunday Post-Dispatch foots up nearly $14,0OO,OOO.
 This is certainly a good showing which speaks well for Mir. Carnegies liberality. But if he does not make haste he will die disgraced.
 According to published reports his income is some $250OO,0OO; the estimate is based upon official reports of the corporations in which MT Carnegie is interested. Moreover the principal of his wealth is not less than $50, ,000, 900.
 How can he get rid of it all? It is wise man who accumulates $50, GOO 900 in a lifetime. It is a wiser who spends it ju- diciously.
 MT Carnegie is no longer young And it is hardly likely that he will die destitute. He will have the sympathy of all generous persons in his great distress. but he can be assured that nobody will take his words too literally.

Four Senatorial DeadIocks.

The cumbersome, indirect and wholly unsatisfactory method of electing United States Senators has produced, in spite of all deals, four deadlocks, and none of the four promise to be broken very soon. Deals and deadlockS are in fact the chief fruits of the present system. There are more deals than deadlocks, and it is only when deals conflict that deadlocks intervene.
 In Oregon the Republicans control both branches of the Legislature, but there are many aspirants, and no one of them has been able to make a deal that will give him majority in a joint ballot.
 In Montana the Democrats control the Legislature, and they have elected MT. Clark to one seat for obvious req sons, but .ney are unable to fill the seat now filled by MT. Carter, whose term ex- goes on from day to day as it does in Oregon.
 In Nebraska the Republicans have narrow majority, and about dozen Republicans aspire to Senatorial seats, and there are only two seats to be filled. The deadlock seems to be almost endless, because the strength of any aspirant is far below the needful vote
 The Delaware deadlock relates to two seats also, and it also relates to the remarkable and inevitable MT. Addicks. It is Addlcks against the field. The Republicans are divided, and they seem to prefer division to Addicks. The end is not in sight in Delaware, and Addicks is as far from a seat in the Senate as he ever has been. He can win seat by refusing it,
