HACKETT At So.
First Theatrical Attraction at
That Price This Season.

Prices for the engagement of James
K. Hackett in The Crisis at the New
Crawford Thursday night are an
nounced today, and the 81 scale pre-
walls This is the first time 81 has been
charged here since the visit of Mrs
Fiske. Alice Nielsen and many attrac-
tons in the past have played here
however. at this figure
Hackett is now playing at 81 every
where. Even at the Grand in Kansas
City, a 81 house. not only box seats but
part of the first floor will be 81 when
the matinee faV0rlte begins his season
there May II. Ordinarily the Kansas
City theater cuts slightly under the
prices Of some of the same attractions
playing in the one night stands as a
show Is not under nearly SO great ex-
pense where it plays in the same house
for a week as where it travels through
the one night towns. In the case OF
Hackett the prices in the towns and the
big cities are the same.
4 had an awful argument to get the
Kansas City prices above $150, said
James Hutton, Mr.. Hacketts business
representative, who was here yesterday.
Not that the managers of the Grand
thought Hackett wasn't worth it, but
city house is fearful of increasing the
prices at any time lest it discourage
the regular clientele of the theater.
Among the men road stars there are
three recognized 81 men-Hackett,
Goodwin and Sothern. OF course, am
speaking of what they get outside of
New York, as New York pays 81 for
most anything Mr.. Hackett simply
win not play under the 81 scale, and he
is right. Why we are carrying 40 PEG

a dramatic company? We have two
electricians, two property men and two
carpenters, and carry even our trees

How about Mansfield as a 81 star? %
why, he is a $3.50 man He gets that
price because of his great. expensive
spectacles.'
only the front part of the lower floor
and box seats have been put to 81, the
rear lower floor being $3.50, and the first
and second balcony prices being the
same as for Henrietta Crosman last

While the new garbage company Is
slow about beginning work under ITS
new contract, a letter has been received
from the Boston headquarters of the
firm which states emohatically that the

letter is as follows:
Mr.. John V. Abrahans, Topeka, Kas-:

atoms from the deSiccating plant IN
North Topeka to the old crematory jusC
across the river from its present loca-
ton Instead of trying to boil up the
dead animals and convert them into fer
tihzers, or dumping them over the river
bank as has been done, the dead ami
mails are now being burned up, together
with solid matter. Liquids are severed
out into the river, as mas Deen cone even

w S. Osborn. manager Of the COM
pany. said today: we moved over to
the old crematory because we believed
we could do better work there than at
the desiccating plant. We can now dis
pose of dead animals and garbage in 4
more effective manner than we could
before. However, this arrangement is
merely a temporary makeshift. It is the
best we can do until the new plant is
built"
City Physician w D. Storrs did not
even know that the company was USING

have to investigate" Smallpox is said
to have broken out afresh in the city,
and it might be a good plan for the city
physician to investigate this too.
while he is in the business. The new

the sanitary condition of Topeka may
be due to his ignorance of what that
condition is.

JOKE ON A. W. HOPKINS.
House of Well Known Detective Is
BurgIarized.

The burglars who attempted to rob
Detective AL Hopkins of his worldly
wealth last night must have a streak Of
humor in their systems. Hopkins has
recently moved to 323 East Eighth
street. Last night, as usual, Hopkins
and son. merchant policemen, were out
rafting doors. Mrs and Miss Hopkins
were away on visit and the house
was keeping itself. Shortly after j
o'clock neishbors heard a noise in the
house, and surmised that Mr.. Hopkins
had returned for a midnight lunch, but
such was not the case. When he die
return at 4 o'clock he found the gas
burning. the back door standing open.
and a state of general .disha belle
spread over the premises Dresser
drawers had been removed and the
contents dumped on the floor without
any regard for classification. But there
is nothing missing, at least the family
has not yet missed anything. Hopkins
says it was very unkind of the burglars
to leave the light burning and run up a
gas bill on him.
The thieves or thief removed the
clue which Hopkins needs for their
capture.
