MALEK AND KUBELIK.
They Once Toured the Continent of
Europe Together.

Malek, one of the most celebrated
living piano virtuosos, who comes to
the Auditorium on the evening of Feb
ruagy %, made a tour of the European
continent with Jan Kubelik, the fam
Gus violinist.
The reputation of Kubelik who pre-
coded Malek to this country is too well
known to need rehearsal. It is, how
ever, a noteworthy fact that when Ma
lex and Kubelik made their tour of the
continent, Malek was given the first
place on the programme at the con-
certs. Malek's name appeared in big
letters on the programmes and in the
press notices and advertisements while
Kubelik took second place.
An interesting story is told about Ku-
belik and Malek. While Malek was a
teacher in the Conservatory of Vienna,
Kube1ik entered that institution for in
struction on the violin. great friend
ship soon sprung up between the two
young men. who were about the same
age. Malek had in his possession a vio-
lin given him by his father which was
valued at $4,000 He had no use for it at
the time and loaned it to KubelilN, and it
was on that instrument that the great
violinist learned to play with such Won
derful artistic effect.

I.yndon Herald: The only man in the
whole membership of the legislature
whom the people of the state abso
lutely know that voted for Charles Cur
tbs for United States senator last Win
ter is ]. 7. Pringle. The only man that
the state absolutely knows that voted
for E. w. Hoch for state printer, was
J. T. Pringle. Why? Because to prove
to the people of Usage county that he
was voting as a majority of the Re
publicans desired that he should vote
he voted an open ballot. Why do the
honest Republicans OF Usage county
permit the Usage county machine to
prosecute him now? Do you know?
Because the politicians are in the lead
in this stampede and the great major
ity have never taken time to think tnat
there is method in all this madness.

Then why does Mr.. Stubs insist on
the reelection of T. T. Kelly for stale
treasurer over other honest men and
against the protest of many RepuDli-
cans? Mr.. Stubs knows that Kelly is
responsible for the defeat of that very
profiting by it. That measure was the
rock on which the tax bill went down
last winter. The house insisted on its
going into the bill, and the senate, on
Kelly's order, insisted just as hard that
it be left out. AS one leader in the
senate said, he didn't believe in inter-
fering with the prerogatives of the
state treasurer Mr.. Stubs knows
this but still he is trying toforce Kelly's
