Ivan, Harris & Woods fine produc-
ton of Theodore Kremer's companion
play to "The Fatal Wedding en-
titled "For Her Children's Sake. =
This big New York success has been
secured at no little trouble and ex-
pense, and a large business is al
ready assured. The play opens
brightly and ends happily. In the
interim series Of heart throbs and
laughter, as well as tears, are COM
mingled. There are thrilling climaXes
and dramatic surprises that keep an
audience in a constant state of eXpec-
fancy, but the end is as every one
would have it be- In this beautiful
tale of real life, the pitiful figure of
an old vicar, childless and wifeless,
plays an important part. Against the
background of his love stands In bold
outline the hayward child. We see
the wicked influence of bad woman
on a good man and the hayward but
repentant child. There is the vicar
age where the outcast daughter
learned at her fathers knee the
truths of everlasting faith that are
to lead in time into the safe harbor
where the storms and stress of life
are forgotten. We also see an old
woman, faithful servant of the fam
lily, following the heroine in all her
wanderings, protecting and guarding
her with mother-like devotion. The
play has succeeded because it is all
so human, so true, that there IS no
resisting it. This is another one you
should not miss seeing.

Her remark, it is believed, voiced

COOPERATIVE CLUB QUITS.
But Promoters of Potwin Scheme Say
Tt Was Success.

The Potwin cooperative house
keeping club quit today for the sum-
mer. Out of a mem bership of 81,
about 25 were out of town for the
summer months, and it was found I'M
profitable to maintain the organiza-
ton with such q small membership.
The members of the cooperative
club lay great stress on the fact that
their organization has been a success
and is not being abandoned because
of any trouble with the working of
the scheme. They say that it will be
reorganized this fall when the mem
bers come back to town.
One of the members of the club
said today: at has cost us $3.50
apiece a week for the time we have
been running the cooperative house
keeping scheme. and we all think the
plan is a good one. We rented a house
to be used as a kitchen and dining
room, and three of the rooms were
occupied by tables. Our chef was a
former Copeland hotel cook, and a
good one. I believe that all of the
members of the club are satisfied with
cooperative housekeeping. But when
the mem bership fell off to IS, it did
not pay any longer. The cost of MAIN
tanning the organization was just as
much as ever, and the people to share
the expense were only half as numer-

CANDIDATES HEADS.
PhrenoIogist Reads Bumps OF Roose-
welt, Parker, Bryan and Hearst.

Chicago, June 30.-Pref. Charles F.
Boyer, a Chicago phrenologist, has
completed a study of the crslniums of
Roosevelt, Parker, Hearst and Bryan.
He summarized the chief Characters
tics of the quartet as follows, and fur
Their compared them:
| Roosevelt-Constant, positive, Well
! balanced. ambitious, influential, loyal,
righteous, doer independent, agrees
! sivt-. self reliant. Jealous. unaffected,
conscientious, temperate, not dream
err.
magnetic, secretive, ultra conservative,
aesthetic, cautious, logical broad
minded, polite, polished, affable, cr1u-
cal. practical, hoTne-lover, peaceable.
| Hearst-Activess strong, firm, self-con-
fdent, approving, 5combative. ambitious.
energetic, secretive, reserved, quiet, not
oratoricaI. theoretical quick, fairly so
eial, aristocratic.
Bryan-Com bative, courageous, def
ant, cool, honest, self-confident, IN
changeab bic, recuperative, emotional,
sarcastic, incautious, home-lovers the
oreticaI, plucky, ardent, serious.
Mr.. Heast is not so logical as Mr..
Bryan" said Prof. Boyer; neither is
he as practical as Judge Parker. Bry-
an, too, is more theoretical than prac-
teal Although Mr.. Hearst belongs to
the so-calIed radical wing of the Demo-
cratic party, of which Mr.. Bryan has
been the acknowledged leader, he is the
exact antithesis of Mr.. Bryan not in
his views but in his personal character
isttcs. He is as deliberate as Mr.. Bry-
an is quick. as reserved as Mr.. Bryan
is open, and as serious as Mr.. Bryan IS
brilliant. William r.. Hearst is only
fairly social, and Notwithstanding his
well known advocates in the interest of
the ma sses, is at heart an aristOcrat
and exclusive in his friendship and af-
lection"
Among other things, Prof. Boyer says
of Judge Parker:
His head is large and wen developed
in the moral, aesthetic and subjective
regions. The faculties Of continuity
and frmness are large. The lower tenn
poraI region is decidedly negative, when
compared to the middle temporal,
which is decidedly positive. Herein lies
the great point of difference between
him and Mr.. Bryan. Judge Parker
ranks only on an average in physical
activity and in the faculty of destruc-
tiveness. In speaking, he would be in
cIined to use his hands only little. He
lacks the StrenuoSity of a Roosevelt
and the magnetism of a Bryan. He is
ltraconservative and secretive. He
Tnanifests very high regard for things
beautiful. He reveals very large ideal
fty, order and appreciation.
president Roosevelt's head Is well
balanced. He is utterly devoid of pre-
tense or affectatiOE- He is sincere and
loyal to the core He is conscientious
and loyal to duty as he sees it. He diff
Cleveland, inasmuch as he is not only
more easy of approach, more urbane
but because he is also a wonderfully
correct reader of character, President
and whom not to trust. President
Roosevelt is a. living example of right
eOus and ahstemious living. He is
doer, not dreamer"

TRYING TO CLEAR IT UP.
d. f. Dunn Here to Fix the Dodge
City Bond Deal.

D. E. Dunn. the Wichita bond
broker who has been manipulating
the Dodge City bond deal with the
state school fund commission, return
ed to Topeka Wednesday afternoon to
see about completing the deal. To-
day a certificate from the county clerk
of Ford county was presented at the
state auditors Office, certifying to the
same statements that were made in
the showing that was signed by the
city clerk of Dodge City. This show
of Dodge City is only $4,000 and
that the assessed valuation is $780,
202. Nothing was said about the
$4,000 outstanding city warrants.
It is said that these warrants are
now in litigation in the district court
of Ford county, so that it will be for
the court to decide whether they are
included in the Indebtedness of Dodge
City. If the suit to escape the pay
ment of them is won by the city the
bonds of Dodge City can be legally
purchased by the school fund COM
mission. In view of the history of
the bonds, however, it is doubtful if
such a purchase would meet the ap-
prevail of conservative investors, even
if it could be legally made.
If the school fund commission
should insist on buying the bonds,
notwithstanding the fact that they
have been offered for sale for rs cents
on the dollar to private investors in
Kansas, the state auditor would be
compelled to register them on the
certificate sent him by the county
clerk of Ford county, as that is sup
posed to be the record by which the
state auditor is governed.

than those of the japanese. The Jap
anese outmaneuvered the Russians by
working around the enemy's right
flank and attacking him in the rear.
It encountered three battalions of
infantry, six guns and two machine
guns on Sunday morning. This en-
gagement lasted until sunset of Sun
day At this hour the Japanese
bivouacked and renewed the assault
at midnight, when they succeeded in
defeating the Russians. On Monday
morning, the 27th, the Russians were
reinforced with three battalions and
sixteen guns. They assaulted the Jap
anese viciously and endeavored to re-
take the position they had lost. They
We're repulsed and the Japanese
dankers worked their way to the rear
of the main Russian position at Fen
Shut pass. This attack took place at
3 o'clock In the meantime the Jap
anese column. which had been as
signed to make the frontal attack,
met and routed 10000 infantry and
cavalry posted near Wenchapantsu.
This happened on Sunday. the 26th.
At dawn on Monday the Japanese
renewed the attack The fighting
this day was opened with artillery
The Russians poured a deadly art1I-
lery fire upon the attackers and the
japanese artillery secured a new po-
sition and delivered a heavy cross fire
While this was proceeding the Jap
anese infantry and engineers cleared
the obstruction from the Russian rear
and closed in on the enemy The
Russians broke and fed at 11:30 Mon
day morning. The Japanese gained
and retained possession of the heights.
The Russians left 80 dead behind
them on the heights. This number
of dead does not include those found
in the valleys. The japanese lost 270
men killed or wounded in the flank
ing and frontal attacks.
The Russian troops who defended
Fen Shut pass consisted of eleven
battalions of infantry, seventeen
squads of cavalry and three batteries
of artillery. The enemy had spent
three months in fortifying Fen Shut
pass. The barracks and other build
ings captured by the Japanese had
not been destroyed, but before re-
treating the Russians burned their
warehouses at Shan Tasu. The Rus
slams retreated in disorder toward Shi
Mu Cheng. The Japanese captured
SO prisoners.

AUTOPSY HELD.
On Body of Young Woman Found
Drowned at St. Paul.

ST. Paul, June 30.-An autopsy held
here over the body of Miss Ruth Teach
out which was found in the Mississippi
river at this point last night revealed
the fact that the young woman had
been strangled to death before being
thrown into the river and that her head
had been brutally pounded. The police
declare that the murder is one of the
most cold blooded ever reported in this
city.
The case is one of complete mystery.
A wear ago the name of Miss Teachout
whose home was in Minneapolis, was
prominently connected with the suicide
of Mrs. Robert Taylor, the wife of an
ernpIoye in the state auditors Office
Mrs Taylor ended her life almost on
the threshold of the Teachout home and
it is said that the deed was the result
of jealousy and Dependency. The rec
objection of this affair offered an ex-
PLANTATION of the supposed suicide when
the body was first found. The new evil
dences of crime have greatly complica-
ted the case, however, and the police
are at sea. in their attempts to solve
the mystery.
Miss Teachout, who was only ~ years
old, left her home in Minneapolis Sat
urday ostensibly to go to the Minneap-
oils Business college, where she N~pls d
student. Nothing more was heard OF
her until her parasol was found late IN
the afternoon just below Minnehaha
falls in Minnehaha park. The body was
found ten miles down stream from this
point.

TWO GAMES ON JULY 4.
Arrangements Being Made for One fla
Morning and One in Afternoon

An effort is being made today be-
tween Secretary Logan of the Saints
and Manager Hornaday of the Fort
Scott Giants to play two games here
between the teams on the Fourth OF
July, one in the morning, to be called
at 10 o'clock, and one in the after
noon, to be called at 3 o'clock 1t is
believed that the fans of the city
would attend both games in sufficient
number to make them paying propO-
sitions. The day is an entire holiday
Tor practically everyone President
Shiveley announced, upon being asked
in regard to the matter. that It would
be an right so far as he is concerned.
HOrnaday looks favOra bly, upon tae
proposition, and il is probable that
the matter viii be arranged tonight
The Saints and the Fort Scott team do
not owe each other any games, but
the contest would count in the regular
standing Of the clubs" Later in the
season it can probably be used 10
liquidate some rain date. and if mot.
Fort Scott will play a series Of two
games in Topeka some later time frs-
stead Of the regular three
