In the booth on the north side of the
Auditorium where the Block Light
company has its display are shown
specimens of the famous Block gas
light mantle, which resembles the or
binary mantle, but besides outwearing
it many times over gives out about
four times the light. The Block
light fixtures have revolutionized the
commonly accepted ideas upon i1lumi-
nation. A single burner with complete
Block mantle and fixtures gives out ten
times the amount of light furnished by
a plain gas jet. at the same time burn

its success. The Block company is

ANDERSON FOR SENATOR.
This One Lives in Saline County
However.

There has been a change in the state
senatorial situation in the Saline
ottawa district. Up to a week go it
was commonly conceded that James A.
Kimball of Salina. would be the SEN
atorial nominee from that district. Last
week W. w. Watson, head of the Wat
son-Durand-k asper Wholesale Grocery
company. came to Topeka and had a
talk with some of the supporters of r.
w. Hoch. He then went home and
not only started a Hoch movement in
Saline county. but threatened to be a
candidate for state senator. AS a re-
suit the leaders on both sides in Saline
county got together and agreed to
divide the Saline county state delega-
ton between Hoch and Bailey, and
they combined upon Mayor Thomas
Anderson of Salina for state senator.
Anderson was once a member of the
senate years ago.
The plan to divide the Saline county
delegation between Hoch and Bailey
was broken up by the announcement
of Governor Bailey's withdrawal at a
Hoch meeting in Salina Saturday af-
ternoon. The news of the governors
action was given to the Associated
Press by the State Journal. and
reached Salina about 4 o'clock while
the Hoch meeting was in progress. 1t
was read from the platform by T. D
Fitzpatrick, postmaster at Salina. and
a warm friend of Governor Bailey.

winter eXpositions. With the prospective
good weather for this week the total
attendance for the exposition of 1904
ought to considerably outStrip the total
of $4,000 for 1903.
Saturday, afternoon was Childrens af-
ternoon at the exposition and the hall
was thronged with delighted children
throughout the afternoon. Probably
three-fourths of the afternoons at
tendance was composed of children I'M
der Is years of age. Some of them were
in charge of older persons but a good
majority of them were on their own
responsibility. And they had the time
of their lives rushing the places where
things to eat were distributed free.
They collected advertising cards pro-
miscuously and filed the building with
pandemonium. Every child appeared
to be overcome with an uncontrollabl
desire to be in every part of the build
ing at the same moment. But during
the entertainment programme there
was very good attention to the stage
and no lack of enthusiastic apprecia-
ton.
After some delay the mineral exhibit
near the main entrance of the building
has been completed by the addition or a
number of specimens of Kansas oil,
glass and a few other mineral products
from the gas field which had been delay
ed in transit for several days. Ihere are
pictures of the industrial developments
now being made in the gas belt, among
them photographs of the new lola cement
plant.
An addition to the entertainment pro-
gramme has been made by Manager Brig
ham. who has announced the PacoecoS
troupe of South American acrobats and
tumblers, who appeared this afternoon.
This organization is probably the best
from the Mexican stage. Manager Brig
ham states that the specialties shown
by these performers are the best of the
exposition. They will appear for the re
mainder of the week together with
Moung Mya, the Burmese 'juggler; De-
Mora and Graceta, novelty acrobats, and
the Steiner brothers. comedy specialists
The Steiner Bros appear in a very funny
triple bar act in which they furnish some
very amusing although difficult situa-
tiOns. This is an especially good feature
OF the programme.
