Kane neglected to state however that
this production is three seasons old !;
that there are at the present time two
companies playing this piece, and that
the company which is booked for To
peka will not include Montgomery and
Stone, the two men who made the piece
famous.
But those are facts. Crawford and
Kane announce that THE Wizard of
OF ran several months at the Majes-
tic theater in New York, a 81 house.
This play was first produced at Chicago
at the Grand Opera house under the
management of Fred Hamlin, who re-
Gently died. 1t was produced at $3.50
prices.
The feature of the production is the
team of Montgomery and Stone. Stone,
it will be remembered, is a former To-
peka boy. They are known from one
end of the country to the other, but
they are at present playing in 1.-THE
Wizard of OF" at the Academy theater
in New York City where they are said
to be enjoying an amazing success.
The road c0mpany which comes to
Topeka cannot by any means come up
to the standard of the original COM
pany which produced this piece at the
Grand Opera house at Chicago at $3.50
prices.
Charles Hanford is too well known
here to require extended mention. 1t
is well known that he rarely ever has
time in any large city, and that he is
better known in towns like Wamego,
St. Marys, Junction City and Salina,
where his name seems to be a, 'house-
hold familiar"
1.-THE Tenderfoot'' has been seen in
Topeka heretofore with Richard earle
who created the leading part in the
cast. 1t is consequently nothing new
for Topekans and it is remembered that
Richard earle was the feature of the
opera. What the piece will be without
earle in the cast may be better imag-
ined than stated.

important article which ever comes
within her province to select, will be

a piano that it is one that is too well

a musical instrument. She will not

takes or culIs from some large factory
whose legitimate trade has fallen back
We present for public approval the
largest variety of established and well
known pianos in the city or state. We
have made our choice selections after
years of experience, not having been
tied to any factory whatever, nor ac-
cepting experimental or untried pianos

money in the purchase of piano. The
best quality of material and workman
ship is the cheapest in the end, and
that is what we guarantee even in our
lowest priced pianos.

HAM PLEADS GUILTY.

 Robbed convaIsscents' Home.

Boston, March 25.-WaIlace H. Ham, formerly manager of the Boston office of the American Surety company of New York aad treasurer of St. Luke's home for convalescents, pleaded guilty in the Suffolk county superior court to- day to indictments charging the lar- ceny of $23S, 1000 from those institutions. He was not sentenced to-day. After his arraignment two hours were spent in bringing out the history of the mis- appropriation of funds by the testimony of officials connected with the Surety company, and trustees of the home, and Hams counsel, Charles W. Bart lett, made a plea for a short sentence. The judge deferred decision until next week.
 The indictments to which Ham plead ed included eighteen counts and all leged the stealing of $2140OO from the Surety company and $24.000 from St. Luke's home. Mam's plea covered i'll but one of these counts The testimony of the various witnesses developed few new facts. Several officials of the sure ty company agreed that Ham undoubt- edly speculated in stocks.

Nrmc Choorcd im Japan's Pariia mcnf-- Russian Repntr of ships.
 Tokio, March 25.-The house of repre- cant speech by M. Yamamoto, the minis ter of marine, and passed with enthusi-
 asm and without a dissenting voice a vote of thanks to Vice Admiral Togo and his officers for their services to the 1 country When the vote was taken the members of the house rose and cheered the navy.
 In his remarks the minister of marine said 1t was no new thing to be prepared for emergencies in time of peace, but that since last October the Japanese
 navy had been under the necessity of increasing it's strength. and had been constantly ready for action on account of the actions of Russia. This the min- ister regretted. He said 1t had been
 manifest to every observer that Russia
 had constantly increased her strength in the Far East, and that had not Ja- pan purchased the cruisers Nisshfn and Kasaga from Argentina, her naval strength would have been below that of Russia
 Referring to the result of the work of Vice Admiral Togo and his fleet, Mr. Yamamoto told the house of Represen- tatives that to block a port successfully the blockaders should be at least twice as strong as the defenders of the port. He said the latest reports showed that the Russians had four battleships, five
 cruisers. and ten torpedo boat destroy
 CTS afioat at the time, from which it must be concluded that the work of re- pairing at Port Arthur was being car- ried forward efficiently. The latest at tack on Port Arthur had enabled the
 Japanese to observe the actual
 strength of the enemy.
 Continuing, the minister of marine
 said that while he hoped for speedy
 termination of the war, he must warn
 the members of the house not to over
 sanguine. The united efforts of Japans
 soldiers and of civilians of high degree,
 he concluded, would surely carry the
 the war to a glorious and successful termination.

Reports B.li for Carrying Of Govern-
 meat snppises in American ships.

-Nrtn
 Washington, March 25. Representa- tive Stevens of Minnesota, to-day filed the favorable report authorized by the house committee on merchant marine and fisheries on an amended senate bill .to require the employment of vessels of the United States for public pur- poses"
 The bill requires all government sup- plies transported by sea to be carried in vessels either owned by the govern ment or flying the American flag. The report bases the necessity for the bill on the groundsthat it never is safe to depend on foreigners for the defense of our own country. It says that the Unit ed States now owns thirteen passenger and freight transports, and that, should these be inadequate for the necessary transportation of government supplies and troops, ships flying the American flag only may be used in addition, and that the government cannot expect American ships to be available in an emergency. The report refers to the present conflict between Russia and Japan, and says:
 Tt is realized that the safety and hope of Japan lies in its splendid navy having control of the sea, as well as in its equally splendid merchant marine which can transport more than 200, ,000 men, with their equipment and supplies, from 200 to 800 miles away from home to give battle to the mighty Russian empire on foreign soil. Japan would be crushed were it not for this ample SUD- ply of merchant vessels"
 Representative Luckin submitted a minority report giving the views of the minority.

 Washington, March 25. = Resolved. That Charles Swayne, judge of the dis trict court of the United States in and for the northern district of Florida, be impeached of high misdemeanor."
 This is the recommendation of the house in the report of the house com mittee on the judiciary, filed to-day. Af7 ter discussing specifically the charges, in detail against Judge swayne and giv- ing the findings in each case, the report concludes as follows:
 Upon the whole case it is plain that Judge Swayne has forfeited the respect and confidence of the bar of his court and of the people of his district who do business there. He has so conducted himself as to earn the reputation of being susceptible to the malign infiu- ence of a man of notoriously bad char acter He has shown himself to be harsh, tyrannical and oppressive, un- mindful of the common rule of just and upright judge. He has continuous ly and consistently violated the plain words of a statute of the United tSates and subjected himself to punishment for the commission of high misde- meanor. He has fined and imprisoned members of his bar for constructive contempt without the authority of law and without a decent show of reason either through inexcusable ignorance, a malicious intent to ii1jure or a wanton disposition to exercise arbitrary power He has condemned to term of ilnpris- onment in the county jail reputable citizen of the state of Florida over whom he had no Jurisdiction, who was guilty of no thought of a contempt of his court, for no offense against him or in the presence of the court or in ob- struction of any order, rule, command or decree. And after the accused had purged himself on oath.
 For all these reasons, Charles Swayne has been guilty of misbehavior in his office of judge and grossly violat- ed the condition upon which he holds this honorable appointment. The honor of the judiciary, the orderly and decent administration of public justice and the welfare of the people of the United States demand this impeachment and removal from the high place which his conduct has degraded.
 Tt is vitaily necessary to maintain the confidence of the people in the judi ciary. A weak executive or an ineffi- cient or even dishonest legislative
