AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Each of the nine people who COM
pose the cast of Browns in Town"
which played at the Grand last night
is an actor or actress of ability. Taken
as whole. the play was a great sue
cess, and merited a crowded house in
stead of half filed seats.
Without a strong cast to present it.
the farce of Browns in Town would
not amount to much. It's all in the
players, and last night the players filed
the bill to perfection. There was not
really weak spot in the entire cast. If
one mentions Dick Preston" as being
a remarkably clever piece of acting, it
is also necessary to add that Abel Pres
ton" Pollock Suzanne Dacre" and
| "Freda Van Hollenbeck" were equally
as good These roles gave to those who
filled them good opportunity for orig
inal study and business" and the OPP
portunity was improved. Arthur
Howard, -" Worth Carew," Lefty" and
Primrose were all we'll sustained
The plot of Browns in Town" is past
finding out. It seems all right enough
when the play is going on, however. and
that is what counts. If anyone should
endeavOr to dissect and unravel the
complicated dilemmas in their proper
sequence. they would do well if they
could get through the first act without
getting mixed. And for ridiculous tan
giles the first act isn't nearly so bad as
the second. and the second isn't so bad
as the third
Frank Willard, as Pollock, the gar
dener." contributed a bouquet of jokes

Fannie Midgley, the authenticated
girl who played Susanna Dacre," also
took turn at the comic song business,
and sang the new song about Mr.
Dooiey- ooley-ooley-o Miss Midgley

1t is too bad that people did not know
what really good production Browns
IN Town" is. If they had. the gate re-
celpts would have testified that Topeka
people like a good farce.

CIVIL SERVICE IMPROVED.
The Commission Issues a Statement
Expressing Approval.

Washington. Oct e5.-The civil service
commission has issued a statement re-
viewing the important changes in the civil
service rules during the past fiscal year
and expressing the conclusion that these
changes have materially diminished the po-
litical influence executed in the govern
mcnt service and strengthened the compe-
titive system. Referring to the matter of
removals from office upon charges the
commission says.
1t is believed that the construction pro-
mulgated May %, 1902. has been in the
interest of good administration and no
case of the removal of any person from
the public services for Improper Reasons
has since been brought to the attention Of
the commission. The com iSsiOn on the
contrary believes that even under the
present construction a far greater num-
Der of employees who ought to be removed
will be retained in the service than the
number of removals of those who ought
to be retained. Appointing officers are
usually very reluctant to make removals
which involve hardship on the persons re-
moved"

An Applicant Bases His Hope of OBJ

London, Oct. 25.-United States Consul
Evans forwarded to the pension bureau in
Washington this week what is probably
the most curious voucher of identification
ever filed in pension case. The voucher
consists of the shell of field tortoise
with the name Bob Williams scratched
the underside. 1t was sent to Consul
General Evans from Christ Church, New
Zealand. where the applicant for a pension
is now living, and is accompanied by let
tiers and affidavits which explain that
the soldiers real name is William Wright.
but that he enlisted under the name of
Bob Williams
''Williams'' says in his application that
he caught the tortoise during the Shenan-
doah campaign and afterwards gave the
shell to Mrs Mary Johnson, of Port
Henry, Essex county, N. Y. who kept it
until recently, when Wright decided to
apply for a pension and sent to New
York for the shell in order to identify
him self as Williams. under which name he
served in company E, 192nd New York in

ALITTLE ACCIDENT
Saved a Lot of Money.

Food that will safely and surely carry
man through exhausting mental work
is worth knowing of.
A man in St. Louis. Mo. says: I'm
my work. it is necessary to begin at
seven o'clock and work straight through
without lunch until two D. m. You can
readily see that this is a strain on the
ordinary person, and I was frequently
worn out and sick with hunger and
weakness. On numerous occasions when
two o'clock came round. I was so utterly
exhausted and unstrung as to be forced
to lose the remainder of the day, and
that carried with it loss of money.
The first package of Grape-Nuts came

Nuts, felt it's good effect in my ability
to work those long hours in comfort.
There was no sickness or weakness, and
no loss Of time from exhaustion In my
business, it is also necessary to work

The change from day to night work and

on the reserve force of any one, and my
invariable preparation for this task is q

cream, a light lunch but a most sus-

An old friend was visiting me recently.
and while eating the evening meal, 1
was extolling Grape-Nuts to him. He
rather doubted the deliciousness of the
food. My three children, aged four.
six and eight years, were at the time
watching large cream cake on the
table and enjoying in anticipation the
treat. I asked the three which they
would prefer for dessert-cream cake OF

answered in chorus 'Grape-Nuts.' NJ
