AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Tim Murphy will not go to New
York with the present company sup
porting him in 1.-THE Man From Mis-
souri," In fact he will not go to New
York with the play no matter if he had
Henry Irving and Ellen Terry in the
supporting company, for of all the bad
things this side of the border of tank
dramas, THE Man From Missouri is
positively the worst.
Murphy has a "hoo-doo'" lowering
over him. Not since he deserted the roll
licking farce comedy role of Maverick
Brander" in Hoyt's musical "A Texas
Steer has Murphy found a part and a
play that was good Murphy played
Governor Crance'' in a dramatization
of Opie Reads 1.-The Carpett@gger' for
several seasons. The role Just suited
Murphy but the play was bad. How
ever he went to New York with it and
Alan Dale and the lesser lights of crit
les announced that a real comedian and
a genuine actor had reached New York
Then Murphy played "A Capitol Com
edy.' and while it was not entirely sat
isfactory it was quite the best play and
presented the best opportunities Murphy
has had. He was in Topeka last sea-
son in "Old Innocence a mighty good
play but not adapted to Murphy.
Murphy is comedian; natural
born, blue eyed, soft spoken and laugh
provoking kplayer of the topmost rank.

Boom for Lawrence Man for

Word comes from Lawrence that a boom

stated that in case there is an opening for
any new candidates on the state ticket his
boom will be vigorously pushed by Doug

new man to gain foothold, but if a fight

SOMETHING TO THINK OF.

NJ. Chisham.

Something Is On
A few DAYS ago J. NJ. Chisham came
over from Atchison and had a con-
ference with Governor Bailey. Neither

postmaster att Atciison and is Con-

but at the same time he used to be a
good friend of Bailey.
Last Sunday D. W. MuIvane and T.
T. Kelly went over and spent Sunday
with Chisham. This and the confer
ence of Bailey and Chisham will give
the First district politicians something
to speculate about. Here is what the

meeting:

DOWIE IS KISSED.
His Audience Resents the Epl-
thets He Hurts at 1t.

New York, Oct 20.-When Mr.. Dowie
opened his night meeting in Manson
Square Garden he faced an immense
throng; when he closed it his audience
had dwindled to only a few hundred per-
sons beside the host he brought with
him from the west. He fretted, tuned
threatened, cajoled and finally resorteu 20
the use of epithets, his hearers meanwhile
leaving the meeting several hundred to-
gether, drowning the sound of his voice.
He had announced that he would tell
how it was revealed to him that he was
Elijah and also that he would have
their reporters. His talk which was in
terspersed with several hymns at times
when the tramp of those leaving the hall
was more than his voice could overcome,
was devoted chiefly to denunciation of to-
bacco smokers, liquor drinkers and news
paper men,, all of whom he classed as
dirty dogs" and dirty BIRDS
Several times the audience Kissed Dowie.
we come here and we get your impu-
dence, but 1 will get your hearts and then
will get your pocketbooks." There is
the Lord he continued. They say l
came to New York for money. 1 don't de-
ny the soft impeachment -
He said the story that his wife lost Il
Sl,oc1 diamond pin was untrue, she
never owned a pin like that. nor had shs
lost anything the tales printed about his
people being hungry were also lies. He
had licked the press of Chicago he
shouted, and he would lick the press Of
New York. He would lick these ''vul-
lures"
Finally he came to the promised story
of revelation. He quoted scripture TO show
that Elijah was to come a third time. A
minister had told him that he was Elijah,
but he was loath to believe it. but finally
after going over the situation carefully he
made up his mind that he was truly Eli
Jah. Then, at the opening of a building
N Zion two Years ago he had proclaimed
himself Elijah, well knowing the fearful
responsibility, of the. restoration that he
must, as Elijah, lead.

All Murphy needs is suitable role and
a proper vehicle, but E. E. Rose and GEO.
v. Hobart have failed to furnish him
with that in the four acts of THE Man
From Missouri" In fact if there was
one more act to the piece the audience
would expect a burning cotton mill,
collapsing railroad trestle, a, sinking
ship, or some other of the tank drama
horrors. In 1.-The Man From Missouri
Murphy is given the role of a cheap
hero in cheap melodrama. He goes
about armed with revolvers and he
hobs up at just the right time to
save some one about three times IN
each act; just the same as "Dicky
Dials," the hero of that wonderfully,
realistic me1odrama, The Stowaway,
for when the heroine on board the yacht
cries out, who is here to save ne2''
Dicky Dia1s hobs up through the hatch
way and says, with one hand pointed
aloft and the other on his heart, Il
Dicky Dials the stowaway." That's
Just what Murphy's part amounts TO;
1.-THE Man From Missouri will be Just
the play for Jack Monroe to star IN 9ltfe
away from Jim Jeffries, if he ever GOES.
In fact the play is SO full of solar plexus

SNAP SHOTS AT HOMENEws

A wonderful power has the hyphen small
Like a chain-shot fired at the SOCIAL wall;
For nothing and nothing make all-in-all
When you join the two with hyphen
You don't need money, you don't need
sense,
To be a person of consequence:
You go to the top of the tallest fence
If YOU spell your name with a hyphen.
Now Brown is a man you may neglect,
And Jones is held in no more respect;
But Brown-Jones stands among the elect
For he spells his name with a. hyphen.
And when he takes as his lawful mate
Miss Robinson-Srnith it is safe to state
That the RobillSon-Srnfth-Br Brown oneSeS
are great,
In a double degree of hyphen.
