Watching Strangers.

Topeka, Kan, June SAIL the men,
bers of the police force who are not at
work in North Topeka or on the river
bank are kept busy gathering in the
strangers who have come into the town
to see the flood. 1t is the policy of the
police to arrest all strangers who are
found in the city who cannot give a
good account of themselves. This is
done to keep the hobos away who
would probably take n hand in the
looting of North Topeka.

A Great Comedy Production.

Elmer Walters latest sensational
Millioner Tramp contains seven of the
strongest comedy characters that have
ever been collected in one play. Each
one differs vastly from the other, and
lends opportunity for variety and action.
The gost scene in the first and the darky
porters scene in the third act are two Of
the funniest imaginable. The dramatic
scenes are fully abreast of the comedy,
and the scenic mounting superb. The
Church Of the Holy Cross in tho second
act is one of tho handsomest settings of
this kind that has ever been attempted.
The opera house in the third act is de-
cded novelty, something entirely new and
out of the ordinary, while the old hotel
in the last act is the very embodiment of
quaintness and originality.
