At High School Tonight.

We are pleased to announce that
accompanying the Washington State
College Glee club, Mr.. Robert Kim
brOugh, the pianist will appear as So
loiSt.
Mr.. kimbrough is a pianist whose
playing would be feature on any
program. Gifted with a decided musi-
cal temperament, he has taken advan-
tage of the greatest instruction to be
obtained in Europe and America. He
was several years a pupil of the Royal
Court Pianist Prof. Heinrich Barth at
Berlin. Germany, and of Franz kullak
Mr.. Kimbrough's playing is refined
and musical: all the artistic elements
prevailing in his interpretations. The
piano is too often used upon pro-
gram as a mere pastime or accOmpani-
stment. With MI kimbrough, it is a
feature.

200 PER CENT USURER'S PROFIT
Chicago Man Pays $4,000 on $4,000
For Four Years.

CHICAGO, March, 11.-After paying
Major William Bell more than $4,000
as interest on a loan of $4,000 for four
years, Charles E. Rand, a real estate
dealer, wanted to call the deal off,"
To his surprise Rand says he was
politely informed that Major Bell had
checks signed by him that had not
been presented to the bank, for $3.50,
and that Major Bell held notes signed
by him and his father for $4,000.
Bell refused to call the deal off ex-
cept by giving Rand IS and collecting
the amounts called for by the notes
$4,000.
To this Rand would not agree, and
he petitioned the court to enjoin Bell
from collecting the notes and pre-

Judge Kavanagh ordered the return
OF the security and checks, but denied
the petition for the return of excess
interest
On Dec. 81, 1895, c. E. Rand bor-
rowed $1,000 from Bell, father of Lillian
Bell, the authoress. and gave his check
for $1,000 and took Major Bells check
for 1857.
The former check was not to be pre-
serted at the bank before the expir-
alton Of one week Before that time
elapsed he learned that he would not
be able to pay the check and told
Major Bell so.
The latter loaned him another check
for 1857 for one of $1,000, good one
week later With the 1857 secured on
Major Bells check for 1857, and $43
out of his own pocket, he paid the first
check for $1,000.
AS the days, months and years went
along Mr.. Rand still found himself
unable to close up the deal.
The amount Of interest. rated at $43
each week for each $1,000, amounted
up so rapidly that soon he was borrow

court that this was about the average

SCIENTISTS MAKE NOVEL EX-
PERIMENTS WITH WHISKY ON
ANIMALS IN CIRCUS.
Dispute That Beasts Had Taste for
Intoxicating Liquors Has Been
Settled.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, March Ii
That animals are naturally less in
cined toward the use of intOxicants
than men was amply illustrated by a
most interesting scientific test made
on the animals in the Bridgeport winter
quarters of the Barnum & Bailey
show. It was proved beyond dispute
that animals whose appetites have not
been deliberately cultivated by the men
that have them in charge, have no use
for rum of any description.
Most of the animals in front of which
trays containing various kinds Of III
quor were placed, rebelhed and refused
to touch it. some of the cat family be-
coming SO enraged that they attempted
TO tear their keepers to pieces.
The experiments were arranged to
prove or disapproNe the popular belief
that all animals will drink alcohol
and Immediately become intoxicated.
The only animals. except three. that
had been trained to drink whiskey.
which would do more than taste the
different liquors that were placed in
frvnt of them. belonged to the monkey
or hog families.

enraged that Trey could not be quieted

them. including Tom. rushed for the
trays of water that was given to them
at last and drained them.
Far Different Results.
The barn containing the tapirs, wart
hogs and monkeys was then visited
with radically different results. A big
p&i1 of beer was drunk in less than g
minute by two hogs and a tray OF
whisky was consumed as quickly.
The monkeys drank every kind OF
liquor that was offered them and
Niger drank every drop ne could
get and then chewed half a dozen
cigars.
From the experiments it was proven
that horses and elephants do not Gike

Murray and Mack Monday Night.


Murray and Mack who come to the
Walla Walla theater, March IA, this
season with their latest musical Of
fering "A Night on Broadway" are
winning new laurels every week. IN
doubtedly they are Americas best
stage Irishmen. and their popularity
is founded on merit and originality.
They have in "A Night on Broadway
a good comedy which, while unfolding
a hilarious story, affords ample OppOr-
tunities for the introduction of special
ties. The company. numbering fifty
people, is strong musically, and well
supports the able efforts of the dual

Howard Kyle in Rosemary" Tonight


To the ma jority of theater gCers

appreciation reaches into obvious eXag-
geratlons as well as bona fide state

thrust upon the reading public that
they have become a source of much
doubt and severe criticism among a
class of people who possibly once or
twice may have believed in them as
facts. Probably five, or possibly ten
per cent of the attractions which leave
