place among the great rural dramas.
The situations, many of them are COM
monplace and dull. the love story bears
as little realism as any play ever seen
in Topeka and some of the characters
are disgustingly overdrawn. Mr.. Henry
Horton, who plays the title role says

Each of them, as you will now readily
see, being "A years of age"
The most elaborate and altogether
beautiful solution of the problem yet
seen is as follows:
Your Mary Ann problem appears to
the writer to be a question of under-
standing the intent of the last sentence.
Mary at "a is not twice AIMS age as a
great many assume; Mary was twice
the age only when you compare her
past age with AIMS past. All the all
gebraic answers give AIMS present age
as is. Permit me to ask this:
IF AIMS age is now IS, at what pos
sible age, going backward from q, could
Mary's age be twice Ann's2
Take tie corresponding deductions
for each age: "a is to IS as % to II, %
to is, 21 to Is. 20 to IA. 10 to 13, IS to y,
II to il, 16 to 10. Is to 9, IA to s. Is to

AIMS present age is 49, AIMS age When

or when Ann was 9. Mary was twice
that age, or Is, AIMS present age. Now
Mary, to reach "a advances 6 years,
while Ann, to reach IS. must advance
8; IS years then as AIMS present age
cannot be correct. Only once, taking
whole figures as above. could Mary's age
be twice AIMS. and that is when Mary

difficulty for Ann. as stated above.
ITO reason correctly, it appears to
the writer that AIMS present age must
be Is; that is the only figure at which
Mary's past age would be twice AIMS
past; making Mary's past age equal
AIMS present, and making each ad-
vance a CORES ponding number of years

as Ann is now. Let me state the prob

HE FORGED PASS.
For This Reason R. O. Lipscomb
Must Go to Prison.

Through the efforts of one of the
Santa FEES special agents that road has
captured and convicted a man for
whom they have been looking for some
time. He gives his name as R. o. Lips
comb, and it is claimed by the railroads
that he is very handy at forging rail-
way passes. 1t is for this offense that
he has just been sentenced to a term in
/ the Deniteatiary.
In January last Lipscomb was en-
plOyed as night operator for the Santa
F'e ut Sylvia. Kas. He worked at this
position for about nine days and then
asked for telegraoher's pass to Den
YER and return. He had not been in
the employ of the road long enough to
deserve q pass and was refused. He
then secured teiegraphers pass in
some way, forged on it the name of
II. 0. Teed, agent at Sylvia, resigned
his position, and left Immediately for
Denver The pass was taken up and
with the report of the conductor was
finally sent to the neral offices in
this city, where in checking up the re-
port it was discovered to be a forgery.
Detectives were instructed to look
out for LipscOmb. but nothing was seen
of him until z short time ago. when "a
man by the name of Byrum agent for
the Santa FTe at Nellen. Arfz. met him
at Purcell, 1. T. Byrum did not at first
| recognize the man.
| Your face is familiar said Rvr11n,
but dc not believe that [ ever knew
man by the name of Lipscomb."
L worked for you when you were
agent for the Santa Fe at Nellen. Ariz.
replied Iipseomb. My name was Stew
ems then"
Byrum suspected the man an7 notified
a special agent to come to Purcell at
once The special agent then found that
Lipscomb was the man who forged the
pass at Sylvia last January and he was
brought to Hutchinson for trial.
During the trial Lipsconb stated that
he had received the pass over the wire
from the dispatcher at Dodge City but
by looking over the records 1t was
| found that the Dispatcher whom LIPS
comb named was working days at the
time of the forgery and Libsebnb was
working at night. The agent at Sylvia
stated that he did not countersign the
pass used by Lipsconab
The trial occurred at Hutchinson last
Thursday and the jury returned a ve~-
dict Of guilty of two charges, forgery
and using a forged instrument when he
knew that it was forgery.
Lipscomb is IS years of age arc says
that he has been an operator for about
20 years He has not yet been sentenced
but he viii probably get about TWO ard
one-half years in the penitentiary for
each offense.

FORT RILEY MANEUyERs.
Exercises Are Exciting and Well Car
ried Out.

Fort Riley, Kan, Oct. 19.-Because OF
their recent arrival in camp none of the
national guard regiments took part IN
the maneuvers today. 1t was found
necessary to allow them at least "a
hours more to get their camps comfor-
tably established. The exercises OF to-
day comprised two distinct affairs. They
were however similar in character and
description of one tells of the other.
In the first Colonel Duncan Of the
Sixth, with battery of artillery and
two troops of cavalry composing blue
force, crossed the Republican river and
invaded territory belonging to the
browns along about the time that would
bring him back to the camp promptly
for dinner Colonel Duncan marched
toward home A force of the browns
under the command of Lieutenant
Colonel Kingsbury, of the Eighth caval-
ry, was awaiting him and the attack
opened as soon as Colonel Duncan turn
ed back, this force becoming the rear
guard of an imaginary army that had
gone before. Lieutenant Colonel Kings
bury tried in every way to harass the
blues, striving to cut them off, break
them up and drive them from their pro-
per line of march. Colonel Duncan,
however, kept steadily on his way and

We Paid 100000

for the rights to Liquozone for the
United States. We tested this product
for years in the most difficult germ dis
eases; then we bought these rights for
the highest price ever paid for scien-
tif1c discovery.
We paid that price because Liquo-
zone does what all the skill in the
world cannot do without it. Any drug
that kills germs is a poison to you and
it cannot be taken internally. The best
physicians, the world over. employ
Liquozone alone for germ troubles; and
any physician who doesn't is almost
helpless in any germ disease.

NOT DOWN ON THE BILLS.
Chicken Furnishes Amusement at
Opera House. Plays.

There was a scene in ''Eben Holden
at the Crawford last night that was
not down on the bills. but it attracted
much more attention than the nlay
itself, and the actors were forgotten
while it was being enacted.
In the first act of the play two or
threeN chickens are used in the havmow
scene. One of them. a rooster which
wore no tail feathers. and few of any
other kind, walked to the edge of the
lower south box during the progress OF
the Play He evidently saw something
to attract his attention, for he jumped
into The box, causing smokers from the
half dozen young men and women wsio
occupied t. Things went smoothly
until the chicken noticed his reflection
in the long mirror in the box. He at
once attacked the looking glass furi-
ously. striking lit with his wings and
spurs. The rooster now had the undi-
vided attention of the audience. Occ2-
siOrally he would stop to rest, an ] then
try another round with his rejection
in the glass. This, continued for sew
eral minutes. when one of the young
r;en in the box, drawer than the r. t,
picked III the chicken and threw = on
t. the stage The rooster then sta .ght-
ened up and crowed vigorously to sig
nalize his victory. He was returning to
