WEBER & FIELDS SPECIAL
The Santa Fe Made Good Time With
It.

Row D. johnson, theatrical traffic
manager at the Santa Fe general Off
ces in this city, asserts that the Santa
Fe has so far done itself proud in
handling the Weber and Fields special.
In order that the company could open
the Elks' new opera house at Albu-
uueraue N. M, according to contract,
the Santa Fe ran special train from
Los Angeles to Albuquerque. The OPP
enine performance of the new house
was given Monday night and arrange
nents were then made whereby the
road agreed run another special from
albuquerque to Denver where the COM
pany had contracted to play the Hollow
ing day. The train was due to leave
Albuquerque at midnight but was de-
tanned until 100 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing In spite of this, however. the or
iginal schedule was maintained and
the special arrived in Denver at o:59
o'clock on the afternoon OF the same
day.
Mr.. Johnson states that from Denver
the Weber and Field company went 10
Omaha and from there it will go Atchi-
son to play Saturday night, then 70

ANOTHER BIG CROWD.
Indoor Circus Daily Grows in
Popularity.

Two thousand people paid their
money and witnessed the performance
of the Ship indoor circus at the Audi
forum last night. This was the larg-
est attendance of the week, although
the other three nights have had good
houses and the local management of
the show is now assured of success In
it's undertaking. The programmes have
been maintained to the standard of ex-
cellence of the first nights perform
ance and have received the uniform
approval of the people who have seen
them. If the circus comes to Topeka
again next season it can count upon an
even more successful stand. under IA
vorable weather conditions. The per-
Torrance Of the DeComa troupe con-
tinues to be one of the best received
acts of the show. The DeComas put
on the most spectacular and most
dangerous aerial feats of the indoor
circus. Their acrobatic work is well
balanced and by itself would make
their engagement worth While to the
circus mana cement.
AL o'clock Sunday morning the peo-
pie and property of the Indoor circus

performers Will scatter either to join
| summer circuSeS or to go home for a

NEW GARNISHMENT RULE.
Santa Fe Employees to Be Suspended
After First One.

A circular has been issued from the
office of H. u. Nudge, general manager
Of the Santa Fe with headquarters IN
Topeka, which provides that any en-
ploye whose wages are garnisheed Will
be suspended from service until after
the garnishment is Withdrawn. 1t seems
that under recent court decisions the
company will in several states be held
liable for double payment and it is for
this reason that the company has taken
measures to protect itself.
1t is thought by local officials or the
road that the new rule will effect ma
terial reduction in the number of gar
nishments each month Under the old
rule employees were not in danger of
being suspended from service until the
third garnishment. In case of three
garnishments they were permanently
discharged. The new circular follows:
Topeka, Kan, March 1, 1904
All Concerned:
Circulars No. 80, issued June u. 1891 F.;
No 1, January Is, 1896. and No. 16,
January &C. 1897, with reference to gar
nishnents, are hereby cancelled.
On and after this date any employe
who is garnisheed will be suspended from
service until the matter is settled and
garnishments withdrawn.
1t is found necessary to establish this
rule because of different court decisions
in several states under some of which
the railway company is liable for
double payment.

Phares, q prominent politician, declares
he has not slept in ten years. He is in

to hereafter rent it for nothing more
hilarious than a missionary tea.
No wonder the Atchison Globe and
other Kansas papers are having fun
with Topeka about it's complaint
against the indoor circus, but If they
knew the inside facts of the case they
could join us in another good laugh.
The truth of the matter is that the
indoor circus got it's roast" because
the management of the show had
failed to provide the councilmen and
city officials with free tickets.
1t may strike an ordinary observer
as rather small business for two or
three members of the city council to
take this means to remind the circus
of its duty" to the city officers. 1t
may seem that the city officials have
rather a vague title to such favors.
But then. most anything goes.
Two or three of the neglected and ag-
grieved councilmen decided that they
could take a swat at the circus and at
the same time appear to be nagni1-
cent protectors of the public property
by making it appear that the auditor
ium was irreparably ruined by the cir

been cut in the steel ceiling, just as

horses were allowed to stand on a

Just as was done a year ago. But they

WHAT'S THIS!
Was There Actually Some Eiiigy Hang

Last fall there were rumors OF
trouble at the Conference Seminary,
and it was stated in several papers
that an efligy had been hanged on the
campus to show the displeasure Of the
students toward some OF the faculty.
This was bitterly denied ty the
friends OF the institution. A letter
published in the Clarksburg News
shows that these denials were evl-

the faculty, which is sad to have
