ITS TRIAL TRIP
Pleasure Boat on Little River Was
Tried Yesterday.

r. NJ Rose and Mr.. Kempel have COM
pleted their pleasure boat and Sunday
the trial trip was made on Little river.
This boat is a stern wheel propelled by a
gasoline engine and will make regular
pleasure trips up and down the Little
Arkansas river. 1t is forty-one feet long.
eleven feet three inches il width. and
has a draught of eight inches. which Till
cradle it 10 De operated for long dis
lance on the river. Il has a canopy top
and the engine is placed in the rear

gers. The steering apparatus Is placed
in the bow and the engine controlled
from this point.
In the rear a small refreshment stand
will be fitted up so that the patrons may
have refreshments served while on board
The boat viii seat fifty persons and IS

LAS You Like IT. has a combination Of
romantic story, poetic imagery and pic
turesque environment that enters into no
other of the Shakespearean plays. Su-
perfcially it has a comprehensive human
ity and a hearty spirit that appeal to the
masses, while its lines and theme have
endless riches for those who are charmed
with poetic subtletieS or profound phil
osophy. 1t is not strange, therefore,
that it is one of the favorite classics.
both with the players and those whom
the players entertain. 1t has been given
in many different ways. Prosperous
stars have presented it with realistic
woodland settings and properties, and Elk
ing repertoire organizations have shift
ed through it with improvised scenery
and apparel. Star casts have offered it
in the natural woods and society ANA
tours from the milIionaires' set have
gwen exclusive performances on spacious
lawns. 1t has been played by casts COM
posed entirely CT women, even to Charles
the wrestler.
But it has remained for Mr.. Lonergan
to furnish genuine novelty in the pre-
sentation of the play. BY giving the per-
formances at night, there is much more
effective illusion than can be secured
in an open air presentation by day. AS
most people know, theatrical costumes
and makeup look much better under
the suns searching rays. Then, too,
a few tiny lights distributed through
the forest cut off the view and give
the suggestion of vastness that does
not exist, and at the same time obscure
the distant movements and approaches
Of the players. In addition 10 these adj
vantages on the stage" it is possible
to cut off the lights in the auditorium
while the play is in progress, thus CIV
ing the scene a theatrical effect in the
midst Of natural surroundings.

results of the officers efforts so far
it looks as though the fifty will never
be recovered. ChHson, as he called him
self, defrauded the Wichita man and
evidently took his departure from this
city soon after pocketing the fifty silver
eagles. He dealt in fatirons, and was
up-to-date in every business way.
He came TO Mr.. Jones. the officers say,
and explained the whole matter 10 him.
He had been selling hatirons to the citi-
zens of this city on the instalment plan.
They were to pay him so much a week on
the hatirons that he had sold to them.
The warrant says that he represented
himself as the representative Of a spec
ialty company. He made arrangements
with Mr.. Jones that the latter would
only have to go around to the purchasers
of the fatirons and collect the money
due each week. In fact as the warrant
says he made Mr. Jones an assistant
or collector. Mr. Jones was to keep
the money collected till Mr.. Chilsons re-
turn, for he was called out Of the city
for awhile. Therefore he required of Mr..
Jones that he put up $50 as a security and
keep the contract. That is the fifty dol
lars that is missing. and which Mr. Jones
has slight hopes of ever possessing
again.
The fatiron scheme worked Iikt
charm. 1t looked honest enough. for
what was a paltry fifty dollars when
twice as much was right in the city
where Mr. Jones could lay his hands on
it? There was the characterization. The
man was no representative of a special
ty company of legal standing; he never
sold any fatirons in Wichita on the in
stalment plan; and he left Wichita with
Mr. Jones money

HELD TO BE INVALID.
Law Comforting Judicial Powers on
Clerks of Incorporated Towns.

Special the Indianapolis Journal.
WARSAW, Ind, March 3.-The act
passed by the last legislature comforting
the powers of a justice of the peace on the
clerks of all Incorporated towns, was held
unconstitutional in a decision handed down
by Judge Hiram S. Biggs in the Kosciusko
Circuit Court to-day. The decision was
based on the ground that. while under the
Constitution the General Assembly has the
power TO create new courts. il has not the
power 10 confer judicial powers on persons
or on tribunals already established The
opinion of the court based the
further ground that a section creating and
establishing a new court could not be in
corpoTated in an act governing the election
and tenure of ministerial officers. and that
the establishment of the court is not prop
erIy expressed in the title which reads:
An Act Concerning Town Officers" The
first section OF the act in question provides
for the election and tenure of town officers
while the second provides that the town
clerk shall have all the powers of a justice
Of the peace.
The case came to the Circuit Court on am
Etna Green. James T.. Smith. of that place
was arraigned before Town Clerk Brindley
on a charge OF obstructing the public high
way. and a fine was assessed against him.
On appeal To the Circuit Court attorneys
for the defendant entered motion for his
dismissal on the ground OF the unconstitu-
fionality of the act The decision will
AFFECT the clerks of eight incorpOra ed
towns in this county.
