Are You a Mason" farce comedy
from the German. Light in treatment,
well constructed and teeming with many
distinctively novel comedy situations.
Are You a Mason" is conceded by
critics the best farce comedy produced
by Rich & Harris. The statement to
his wife by one Amos Bloodgood a
prominent citizen of Rockford, H., that
he has followed her wishes that he be-
come a Mason, (which he does not do)
but persuades her that he has, starts
the trouble and the fun. Later pros
pective son-in-law uses the same me-
dunn to carry favor with BlOodgood's
wife and daughter. The horse play, etc.

Porter J. White will soon present his
version Of Faust at the Opera House re-
appearing in his favorite role of Me
phistopheles Miss Olga Verne is the
Marguerite. The entire production is
literally staged by Mr.. White with
special scenery, properties, electrical
apparatus, etc, for each act. The story
of Faust is the embodiment of most
remarkable system of belief which found
its elimination in the Middle Ages.
What the effect of such a production,
hampered though it were by the in
sufficient stage effects Of those days,
must have had on an audience which
faithfully believed in witchcraft and
actual demoniac possession and com
pacts with the evil one, we are utterly

tunate members Of society, his Satanic

TASTE OF REAL THING.
What Kansas Soldiers Will Do
at Fort Riley.

The order fixing the encampment OF
the Kansas National Guards at Fort
Riley at the time of the autumn ma
neuvers" of the regular army means con-
siderable to the militia boys. 1t means
that they will have taste of 1.-The real
thing in army drills.
The war department has invited not
only the Kansas militia but also the mi
litia from all the surrounding states to
go into camp at Fort Riley during the
fall maneuvers, which will probably be
during the latter part of September.
The artillery and cavalry for the ma
neuvers will be from the regular army
but it is expected that there will be at
least six regiments of militia in addition
to three regiments of regulars among
the infantry. Kansas will furnish three
of the militia regiments.
The militia will be under the orders
of the regular army officers in COM
mand at Fort Riley and will be put
through the same course of drills and
discipline the regular troops. reg
ular programme of military maneuvers
and problems will be worked out. The
forces will be divided and commanders
will be appointed for each of the oppos-
ing armies and they will go through all
the maneuvers of fighting battle each
day. 1t will be a new experience for
the militia boys.
Next year these maneuvers will prob
ably be carried on on a gigantic scale.
A bill has been passed by the lower
house of congress and is now on thiro
reading in the senate providing for the
mobilizing of all the militia in the
United States at certain points for
training under regular army officers
There will be only four of these mob
ilizing points and Fort Riley will be
one of them. One will be in Pennsyi-
vania just north of Washington, an
other will be at Chackamauga, Fort
Riley will be the third and the fourth
will be near San Francisco.
All the militia from the entire middle
west will be mobilized at Fort Riley.
1t will probably take in all the territory
from Illinois and Wisconsin west tt.
and including Montana, Wyoming, Col
orado and New Mexico. The govern
; ment will pay all expenses of the en-
campment and will pay the men for
the time they put in. 1t will be great
600 or $4,000 in camp at Fort Riley.
1t will be the greatest gathering of
troops ever seen in the west.

HETTY GREEN SELLS.
Woman Capitalist Aids Bears on
Rock Island Stock.

New York, July 30-Hetty Green has
sold her Rock Island stock The exact
amount of her holdings is not known.
but they are understood to have been
of considerable size. Different commits
sion houses which have been recent buy
ers of Rock Island stock have received
on deliveries shares standing in the
name of the woman capitalist.
The fact that Rock Island stock has
reached the 200 mark is undoubtedly re-
sponsible for numerous small sales Of
Rock Island stock. In the market to-
day the stock underwent further violent
fluctuations on comparatively limited
transactions. The offerings were doubt
less for the account of scattered stock
holders who preferred the cash ex-
change obtainable in the market to that
forthcoming in the readjustment plan.
Speaking of the attempt of outsiders
to pound down the price of Rock Island
stock, President Leeds says:
1T may be thoroughly understood
that the Rock Island railroad system is
absolutely controlled and owned by only
a very few individuals who have a COM
plete understanding as to it's future
management and any further plans for
the systems welfare"
A representative of the Rock Island is
quoted as saying:
The Rock Island owners will not ask
anyone to underwrites their new con-
soffdated bonds They have placed $685.

additional investment the earnings will
show a capacity to pay at least 8 per
cent annually on the present capital
ization. This shows the property to be
highly valuable, one Of the best in the
country, and amply just1f1es further
fnveStn ent and expansion OF its terri
tory. Despite the palpable opposition
of other competing railroad interests
including the Gould and Missouri Pa
Cific interests, which has been marked
against the Rock Islands reaGjustment
plan, there will be no hating. The
question of taking over the Frisco line
was not settled today. but 1t will prob
ably be taken over or a new line built.
Re sarding the Frisco line acquisi-
ton, the only point up for discussion
is as to the value of the road as COM
pared with it's capitalization and the
terms upon which it can be bought. 1t
has capital stock of $50000.G00 and a
bonded debt of over $45, 900. 900. All but
about 10 millions of the bonds bear 6
per cent interest If Frisco stockhold-
ers end bondholders desire 10 rartici
pate in Rock Island readjustmelt under
some consolidated plan, they will un-
doubleday be welcomed in and their
road taken over as part OF the new

goes, its small capital is entile ely made

pansion and must be materially i'll

HELD UP BY HOBOES.
Passenger on Rio Grande West
ern Robbed at Ogden.

Ogden, Utah, July 3O.-Three hoboes
coolly held up and robbed a passenger
on the Rio Grande Western train who
had stepped out on the platform of the
Union station here last night. A de-
tective who went in pursuit of the rob-
bers was in turn held up and relieved
of his revolver, handouts and other
paraphernalia and told to hurry away,
which he did. A posse, headed by sew
eral policemen took up the pursuit of
the robbers. They came up with them
and in the exchange of shots which fol-
lowed Policeman Farr was severely
wounded. The robbers then fed toward
the hills north of the city. Bloodhounds
from the state penitentiary at Salt Lake
were te1egraphed for and were put on
the track of the robbers this morning.

LOST THEIR MONEY.
Arkansas City People Bit ON a
Turf Investment Scheme.

Arkansas City, Kan, July 3o.-No
less than $1,000 of Arkansas City peo-
pies hard earned cash has passed from
this city forever.
Several weeks ago the town was
flooded with letters from firms offer
ing to accept certain amounts of money:
these to be invested in the turf ex-
change, which was nothing more or
less than a betting scheme, to put
money up on horse races throughout
the country.
A large number went up against it
because the plan looked good, and.
strange to say, they received their divi-
dends for awhile.
Most of the Arkansas City losers went
into the New York concern and a few
days ago it was transferred to the firm
a Hammond Ind. Yesterday they re-
ceived the startling information that
this firm had thrown up the sponge and
about $4,000 of Arkansas City money
went with the sponge. The men, and
women, too, who were caught are not
those who usually are suspected of
gambling, but are those whose judg-
ment on business matters is consider
ed sound. The separate amounts run
from $100 to $780,

TRIO OF SPELLBlNDERS.
Burton, Long and Campbell Are
Here Today.

A coincidence brought three prom1-
nent Kansas politicians together at the
Copeland today. They are Senator Bur-
ton, Congressman Lorg and r. r
Campbell, candidate for congress in the
Third district.
Senator Burton came in from Nevada
Mo-, where he has been on a business
trip. He is stopping over in Topeka
ton City, where he speaks Friday night
at a reception which Junction City peo-
pie will tender hin. He arrived at
noon.
Congressman Long arrived early this
morning. He came from Eureka
Springs, Ark. where his family is
spending the summer and where he has
been for a few days rest before start
ing into his campaign in the Seventh
district. He will stop over in Topeka
for day or two and then go on west
For the next two weeks he will be
busy making speeches over the western
end of the Big Seventh" and will not
come east again until August 16, when
he is scheduled to speak at the Wathena
ChautauQua assembly.
Phil Campbell also arrived at noon.
This is the first time he has visited
Copeland county for several weeks. He
has not yet opened his congressional
campaign, although he has been visit
ing county conventions and making a
few speeches at local celebrations.
We have planned no formal opening
of the campaign In the Third district"
said Mr.. Campbell we will proba bly,
just drift into it along about the first
of September. 1t Is too early and toe
hot just now
'Along what line will you make youi
campaign Mr.. Campbell was asked.
"Along the line that the Republican
party is the party of construction in
stead Of a party of obstruction, and that
it always meets and handles the ques-
tions of the day in the right manner /
understand my opponent. Mr. Jackson,
will. try to attack the Republican party
through the tariff issue by claiming that
the tariff fosters trusts. I believe that
shall win next November. The people
of the Third district are prosperous and
we1-to-do Crops are fine and pay day
comes regularly every week in the big
towns
1.-THE Third is wonderful district. :.
continued Mr.. Campbell commenting
on a story which the State journal pub
lished short time ago regarding the
resources of that part of the state. 1--WE
have zinc and coal on one hand and gas
and oil on the other. These have built
up big manufacturing industries, and
there is not better agricultural coun-
try in the west. Montgomery and La
bette are big wheat counties and there
is an upland locality in Neosho county
| that cannot be excelled for wheat And
| out in Chautauqua and Elk there is a
fine cattle country. I don't believe there
