Washington. June 13.-COmmission-
er Ware, of the pension office, makes
the following explanation of his order
discontinuing the soliciting of funds
for Kansas flood sufferers in the pen
sion bureau: 1T is true that l did
issue the order, and l did so for the
reason that l am not going to have
people in this bureau asked to con-
tribute funds for suffering Kansans.
L am n Kansan myself, and it would
not be right to have people in the de-
partments asked to contribute to the
relief of the people of my state. !
have no jurisdiction over the money
of the employees of this office, and don't
care TO tell them how they can spend
it, but l am not going TO have peo-
pie make a subscription business of the
Kansas fund here.

Insists kansas Is Rich Enough.

81 have not the slightest objections
to Kansans contributing all they want
to the fund, nor do l object to their
being asked TO give the money in this
office. but they must leave the people
of other states and the popular sub
scription idea alone. Kansas can take
care of herself. If there is suffering
and want the state has millions of
dollars in bank to draw on"

"The modern way OF Kidding the system
of disease is the coaxing way-the gentle
way. 1t is quite as effectual but does not
disrupt the internal arrangement-does
not disturb digestion, affect the heart or
weaken the system.
This is especially desirable in the
treatment of colds and bronchial affec-
tons, and it is because my No. 3 is SO
gentle, SO persuasive and yet SO positive

Judge Andrews began the week at
the municipal court, yesterday morn
ing, by dispensing of two cases of in
toxication. Tom Manning. giving his
home port as Bath, admitted that he
had been under the influence of liquor,
and explained his downfall by telling
the court that he had taken a drink of
very poor whiskey, and later, had fol-
lowed it with one of better quality.
From what followed, the only inference
to be drawn was that the two grades
of whiskey refused to assimilate, for
when the police ran across his trail. his
condition could not be called normal by
several degrees, and he was harvested.
the court was in a lenient mood. and
allowed him a chance to do better, by
letting him 90 on probation. John
Brown of Cambridge, Mass, was not
SO fortunate. however, and had to pay
S. in order to get outside of the city
building once more Mr.. Brown was
incarcerated, Sunday noon, because he
was on the street in an heroic mood,
and did not know enough to go home
when the deputy marshal ordered him
to do so.

People did not have a chance to look
at their Watches yesterday, to see if
the 1890 whistle was right, for the
whistle did not blow. The reason why
the whistle refused to disturb the still
ness of the monday hour was not at
first known, but upon investigation it
was found to be frozen up. This con-
dition was due to the rain of Sunday
getting in and filling up the groove of
the cup under the bell of the whistle,
and freezing, and it put that noise
making device completely out of COM
mission. SO that Chief Engineer Kicker
had to climb up on the roof of the City
building, and thaw out the whistle, by
burning bunch of oiled rags under it,.
1t was tested afterward, and found to
be all right. andwill probably be faith
full to its duty until the next cold rain
storm comes along. Trouble of this
nature was hardly expected. for at
Lewiston there is a fire whistle which
is set up and operated in the same
way, which has been in use for four
years, but has never frozen UP, and
those in charge of the whistle on City
hall are just at present wondering why
some things are.

wonderful child actress five years
Of age. They opened their en-
gagement this season, the week of
Aug. Sth in Boston Music Hall,
going direct from there to New
York and since that time having
played in CINCINNATI, Cleveland
and Chicago and places of that
character. 1t is the same COM
pany that last season presented
this play from coast to coast.
They carry with them complete
the entire scenery for the pro-
duction of the play. Their con-
tract calls for a clear stage and
none of the local house effects
will be used. AS a warrant of
their good faith in this matter,
the club boys will place their
contract with the company on
exhibition in Bennett drug store
window. A glance at this agree
ment will show conclusively that
the statements they make in re-
gard to this show are facts and
not idle talk. In order to pro-
cure the guarantee the club boys
will be around in a few days ask
ing you to take tickets. If you
enjoy an entertainment of this
class and would like to see one in
Lancaster once in while, take as
many as you can use. In this
way you give the only sanction to
an enterprise that amounts to
anything. The fact that you say
you would lik to see such attrac-
tions here does no good. Your
purchase of ticket shows that
you mean what you say and aids
in securing the patronage neces-
sarNto obtain the guarantee. The
price of the tickets will be SOC
straight to all parts of the house,
reserved seats without extra
charge at Benefits drug store.
If the people of Lancaster want
first-class shows here, let them all
turn out and by their attendance
show their willingness to aid in
making it possible to have them.

Management of Phil Hunt.

On the evening of Nov. 8, '03,
the Country Club, managers of
Reeds opera house, will present
to the people of Lancaster and
vicinity an unusual attraction.
By a cash guarantee of $4,000
they have secured for that date
Phil Hunts ''Down By The Sea-
company.
This is a first-class company,
one which will visit a place the
size Of Lancaster only upon the
assurance that they will receive a
certain sum in cash.
The club boys are bringing
them here asan experiment. They
believe that the people of Lam
caster would like an opportunity
of seeing a good show occasional
ly and have taken the risk of en-
gaging this company upon that
belief. This is their first attempt
to give the people such chance.
If they are successful with this
one there will be others-not too
frequently, but as stated above,
occasionally. Of course they
can not carry out this idea with
out the cooperation and hearty
support of every theater going
citizen of Lancaster.
