THEATRICAL NOTES

Annie Russell, ever a favorite with
theatre goers and ever delightful with
her winsome personality, comes to the
Grand Opera House January with an
other role, said TO be as ideally suited
TO her as were Catherine" Miss
Hobbs" "The Princess" in "The Girl
and the Judge In Mice and Men
Miss Russell's latest play which was
seen for seveitI months at the Garrick
Theatre, New York, last season, she
has a part that IL is said suits her bet
ter than any In which she has ever
appeared. Charles Frohman has sur
rounded her with the strongest COM
pany he has ever given her. Mrs. Gill
bert still continues as a me1nber OF
the company and has a part such as
she used to revel In when she was
member of the famous Augustin DAILY
Company. John Mason. Oswald Yorke,
John Glendinnng, Charles Butler. +.
A. Eberle, Olive Murray and Margaret
Huddlestone, are among the prominent
players.
Thomas r. Shea will be at the Ly-
ceum on December "a. 25 and 2e IN a
list OF strong attractions.
"On the Stroke OF Twelve is a strong
melodrama that appears at the Lyce-
um on December 2S, 20 and 80 with

The mere announcement Of the COM
ing OF John A. Himmelein's big COM
edy company. THE Ideals" is SUM-
cient TO arouse the interest Of theatre
goers of all classes i'm this city. For
the past twelve years this has been
one OF the favorite attractions OF our
theatrical season, and it is but Just to
say that the expectations of the pa
irons have never been disappointed.
The reputation OF the company has
been founded upon a record Of hon
esty and integrity, and promises full
filled. The attraction this season is
said to be the strongest and best that
Mr.. Himmelein has yet presented. The
repertoire OF plays is very extensive
and almost entirely new The scenic
equipment has been greatly augmented
and is now the heaviest and hest ever
carried by any repertoire company in
this country. The cast is still headed
by the charming comediennc. Miss Be
/ atrice Earle, and is composed OF a
much better class of people than is
usually seen with a company playing
at popular prices. Howson's famous
twentieth century band and orchestra
is still a feature, and will contribute
their share to the entertainment. and
their reputation is too well known 10
require any more extended comment.
The company will appear at the Grand
/ Opera House commencing Christmas
and all following week.

COBURN'S REPORT OUT
It Is the Largest Volume Ever
Issued.

The biennial sport # the Kansas
state board of agriculture came from
the press today. 1t is the largest vol
ume ever vet issued by Secretary Co
In the volume are contained the re-
ports which have been published on
Shorthorn, Hereford and polled cattle,
and Kansas wheat growing, and also
addresses and papers on live stock and
agricultural topics. besides the general
crop statistics of the state by counties
for the years 1901 and 1902
In the introductory to the volume,
which IS signed by President Taylor and
Secretary Coburn. they say:
In behalf of the state board of agri-
culture, we present this volNne as our
thirteenth biennial report, for the years
1901 and 1902.
Its purposes is to be practically help
full to the farmers. stock raisers and
business men of the state. and to record
clearly in statistical form her agricul-
tural output and values, assessed valu-
ations and population. for the biennial
period to which it especially relates, be-
sides telling in less detail the story of
her achievements in preceding years.
It's statistics, more than borne out by
those of the national department of
agriculture, demonstrate that Kansas is
already the forward commonwealth in
some most important lines of agricul-
ture, and has attained or is rapidly
progressing toward leadership in several
others. She stands accredited with a
wheat crop never equaIed in magnitude
elsewhere, and corn production which
but few states surpass. While in those
other wonderful crops, Invaluable to
animal husbandry alfalfa. Kaffir corn,
and the saccharine sorghums, Kansas
leads so far as to make ludicrous any
suggestions of rivalry.
'The value of the states agricultural
and live stock products for the biennial
period just closed was $719401. $50. or
134 per cent greater than that of 1899
and 1900. and the largest in our history.
Growing sugar beets is a new and
interesting element of promise, brought
into the husbandry Of the western Ar
kansas valley counties within the past
two years. To encourage its development,
the legislature of 1901 provided bounty
of one dollar ton on beets containing
not less than u per cent of sugar grown
in 1905 and 1902 and actually used for
sugar making. This bounty was paid
on 1.747.36 tons. grown on 377 acres by
II growers. The average sugar content
was 17.S per cent ranging from 1873 to
! 228 It is believed the aggregate guam
tity of beets grown in 1902 has beer con-
siderably more than double that of the
/ previous year"

ODDS ON LONG.
He Is the FayOrite In Senator
iaI Betting Ring.

Congressman Long seems to be the
favorite among those who want to bet
on the senatorial election. There has
been more money. posted on Long than
on any other candidate. Whether this
is because the Long supporters have
more confidence or more money is not
known
bookmaker started business at
Eagles cigar store Saturday afternoon,
and posted bets at the following odds.
to against Curtis
to against Long.
to 3 against Stanley.
to 1 against Calderhead.
to 1 against BOwersock.
to l against Bailey.
to 1 against Mulvane.
to against Leland.
Only a few bets were made, and near
~ every. one took the Long end of the
proposition. with the result that at 10
O'Clock the odds were made even on
Long against the field. This reached the
ears o@ the Long rooters at the Cope
land, and j. NJ. Simpson. Senator Vim
cent and ". 7. Morgan went down and
placed $3.50 on Long against the field az
even mOne-I
This rather frightened the bookmaker
and he put the odds at to against
Long, and at noon today the odds posted
were to against Long.
A man who was not known at the
store wanted to put up a thousand dol
lars on Long at these figures, but the
offer was refused.
