PoIt,s Wonderland Thcatcr.

A bill that scatters care into smith, ereens is playing Poli's this week. It requires no thinking part by the au- dience. All that the audience need is to go prepared to laugh and they will get their full of exhiliration. Lillian Burkhart and a bright support is at the top with a new comedy "Jessie's Jack and Jerry and Ernest Hogan the colored comedian, the best of his type ever seen here, is also featured and Is god for twenty minutes of gen. uine fun; Ladele and Abbott, Belmont and Weston, the Browning sisters, Gar nella and Shirk, Josie and Willie Bar rows, the Laytons and the vitagraph are in the olio.
 A triple star bill will play this house next week, with Milton and Dollie No blea in "A Blue Grass Widow" as the top liner. Of this act the New York Mail and Express says: At Keiths yes terday Milton Noble produced witty and clever one-act comedy. His own role that of young husband led into a filtration, is admirably done, and it is many years since Dolly Nobles has had a comedy role in which she has been able to do such delightful work as in that of the widow who brings the hus- band to his senses. Miss Westcott who plays the wife, shared the laughter and applause with the two famous come dians. It is light comedy of the high est grade. Prices: Matinee, 10 and 2Oc; evening, 10c, 20c and BOG; ladies at mat inee, 10c

 lecting Food.

If children are not healthy, round and rosy, ready for study or play, there is probably something lacking in the food
 A sure body builder for children Cor adults) is Grape Nuts, the famous ready cooked food, and there is a req son.
 Grape-Nuts contain natural phos- phate of potash and albumen obtained from grains. and these elements com bine in the human body to form gray matter in brain and nerve cells all over the body. Such nourishment means vigor, snap, strength and force of both mind and body.
 That is scientific feeding, and with Grape Nuts you have the youngsters fed in way that will bring the big gest kind of returns as they grow up, and you see what they accomplish be- cause they have we'll built bodies and good sturdy brains,
 That is worth thinking about and the results may be depended upon. Give your children Grape-Nuts and use the food yourself.

The Daily Republican of Whining
ton, delivers itself thus on the line of
official patronage:
''We do not think anybody can ac-
cuse Governor HUM of appointing
Union Republicans to Office. With
few exceptions indeed, in New Castle
county, his appointments have been
Regulars, and thus far they have not
caused much comment. You can hear
some cuss words in certain places
with which the Governors name is
coupled We do not know who his
advisors are, but whoever they are,
they're very poor ones. The sooner
the Republicans put competent men in
office, the better it will be for that
party if it wishes for supremacy.

The following from the Philadelphia
Times shows wherein the senior Sen
ator from Pennsylvania has his great
strength in controlling the politics of
that State:
''Senator Quay has Democratic or
ganization that obeys his orders as sub
misslvely as do his own Republican
machine henchlnen. They embrace
nearly or quite half dozen Senators.
double that number of Representatives
and sprinkling of ex-State local chair
men of Democratic committees. They
are in the employ of Quay, obey his
orders, receive their pay in cash or po-
litical benefits, and then deceitfully
pose before the Democrats of the State
under the Democratic flag"

The urning question in Philadel-
phia politics seems to be whether the
Machine" or the people shall rule in
that city. This is to be the crucial
test of the coming campaign Rother-
mel and an entire Union ticket com
posed of candidates pledged to serve
the people and not the bosses. If the
people shall decide to resume their
sovereignty, Rothermel and his asso-
ciates will be triumphantly elected. If
he shall abdicate, the bosses will elect
the ticket they have already placed in
nomination, composed of those who,
with rare exception, would serve them
and not the people.
The address very properly lays deep
emphasis on the significance which is
described as a spontaneous outburst
of righteous wrath against official pub
lie plunderers. 1t ftly characterizes
the two party organizations in the
city uuder existing control as acopart-
nership of political degenerates, who
distribute offices, privileges, contracts
and franchises among themselves and
their favorites. In these deplorable
conditions the committee finds full
justification for a citizens non-parti-
san movement to emancipate the COM
munity from a partisan rule which has
been perverted to selfish and corrupt
purposes.
After recounting the deplorable con-
ditions which have impelled the citi-
sss4's'rs '='rs II Philadelphia to righteous re-
volt against corrupt boss rule, the COM
mittee, says the Record, makes a
promise and suggests an imperative
duty. The promise is that the asses
ment rolls shall be purged of those
not legally qualified to vote, and that
every legal method shall be exhausted
to prevent ballot box stufing, persona
tion at the polls and false counting
and false return of the votes. In
other words, the honest voters are to
be protected IN the exercising of their
elective franchise, and guaranteed an
honest vote and fair count so far as
the law can be invoked to secure this
desirable result. The duty designa-
ted is that of organization for the de-
feat of the boss-made candidates of
the Machine ticket. The committee
recognizes that a campaign for the peo-
pie against the bosses must he practi-
cal, and that popular organization
must be pitted against boss organiza.

given Sc years of his life to the print
ing business.
Working his way up from the print
er's case, Mr.. Vernon was what might
be termed in the present day a self
made man. From printer he grew to
publisher, and then editor, not only
establishing the Daily Republican, on
which he occupied the editorial chair
for many years, but also associating his
eight sons with him in the business of
issuing the newspaper.
He was hard worker, and for over a
half century he gave his time and his
energy to the business which became a
part of his life.
There was never any uncertainty
about the position of Mr.. Vernon on
the paper in the politics of the State.
He believed in the principles of his
party and never wavered therefrom.
He did surprise the people, however,
in his endurance-th he could keep
active in business until he had passed
his fourth score year.

MAY NOT CAPTURE WINDSOR.
Believed That the Man Who Killed His
Father May be in Wyoming.

People are wondering if the State de-
tectives are going to continue the
search for J. Edward Windsor, who
killed his father on July 4. AS mat
ter of fact very few people appear to
desire him captured, and there is an
impression that Windsor has gone to
Wyoming where his brother has
ranch 1t is not believed that he will
ever be captured and in support of
this it is stated that g. P. Hallett, who
was once convicted of killing a man
near Milford and escaped, was in Will
mington recently and is now doing
business in the West. 1t is therefore
believed that Windsor will also es-
cape.
1t is claimed that the family of
Windsor are the people most interes-
ted in his capture, and so long as they
do not desire his arrest, there is no
use for the officers of the State to ex-
ert themselves and expend the money
of the State in an effort to capture
him. Except for the appointment of q
new State detective the matter would
have been almost forgotten by this
time.

THE tuberculosis Congress, recently
held in London shows a wide differ
ence of the doctors on the transmission
of consumption. DR.. Koch, of Ger
many. believes that human beings are
exempt from bovine tubercolosis-that
the disease cannot be transmitted
through milk and vice versa. At a
meeting of the consumption experts in
the British Congress which met in
London, the physicians cnndemned
the theory of DIR. Koch. They be-
lieve that it is necessary to use precau-
tions to prevent human beings from
contracting the dread disease.

DROUGHT IN MIDDLE WEST BROKEN.
Heavy Fall of Rain Makes the Situation
More Encouraging Concerning Crops.

A Heavy Fall of Rain Makes the Situation
More Encouraging Concerning Crops.
The papers last week were well
stocked with distressing news from
the Northwestern States with accounts
of burning up crops and high temper
ature. 1t finally became so bad that
one of the Governors issued a procla-
nation naming Friday as day for
fasting and prayer, that dire calam-
ity might be averted. Fortunately,
news has since been received of fall
ing rain and the break in the high
temperature. The daily papers of Sat
urday and Monday had encouraging
items as follows:
''Kansas has been saved in part at
least, from the ravages of the drought.
The rain, which started in numerous
sections of the State Friday night,
continued Saturday. Farmers report
that there will be much late corn, and
the rain will ensure excellent fodder.
The estimates of the probable yield of
corn range all the way from five to
twenty bushels to the acre. Apples
and pears, with anything like favor
able conditions, will make a large
crop. The late crops naturally will be
helped the most. The reports show
that during the past twenty-four hours
showers were quite general in the
corn belt, and were heavy over much
of the State of Iowa, and over the
part of the corn belt not visited by
rains including Western Nebraska,
Southern Missouri and Oklahoma.
