FULL WAGES FOR JUDGES.
District Court Officials Benefit BY
Now 0rdor


Six of the district judges of the state
have not been drawing their $4,000 a
year, but on January /, 1905, all of them
will be entitled to $201.66 month, in
stead of S2Os.3s.
The law which increased the salaries
of the district judges Of Iowa from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year was passed by
the Twenty-ninth general assembly.
That year most Of the judges were
elected and took office in January, fol-
lowing the passage of the act, beginning
Immediately to draw their increased
stipend.
But Judges Clyde, Macy, Bailie and
Withrow had only been elected year
before and their terms did not expire
till January, 1905. So that they have
been compelled to put up with the $2Os.33
month, while their colleagues have
been drawing $83.33 a month more.
After January 1 next, however, they
will get warrants from the auditor of
state equal in size to those of their fell
low jurists.
In the case Of Judge Parrish, who re-
signed his office after the law went into
effect, W. E. Miller has been receiving
the salary and he has been succeeded
by H. K. Evans who will get the increas-
ed rate.
Judge Baker succeeded Judge Wolfe at
Clinton and has been elected also, so
that he will continue to draw the larger
salary, having drawn it since Judge
Wolf resigned because he succeeded by
appointment.
These six district judges have been
issued certificates of election by the
state canvassing board. They were
elected in their respective districts
without opposition.
After January 1 Judge Deemer of the
supreme court will begin to draw $4,000
a year instead of $4,000, as heretofore,
the increased salary of supreme justices
not being enjoyed by those who were
elected prior to the passage of the law.

In Centerville the merchants are agi-
tating the plan Of giving away horse
feed tickets to their country customers.
The plan is to give ticket with a GER
tain amount OF goods and the tickets to
be good for team feed at any time. 1t
is argued by those in favor Of the plan
that the customer will get enough extra
feed tickets on the days no buys many
goods to have some left for the days he
does not buy, and, in fact, have free
feed tickets all the time.

Life on Other Planets.

Upon the question whether
life-bearing planets can exist in
other solar systems than our
own the answer OF science is
clear and disti' ct. 1t is pre-
cisely the SAM which Prot.
Newcomb recently gave con.
corning the Inhabitants of Mars:
1.-The reader kn"wS just as much
of the surj'ct as | do.and that
is nothing at all. Within our
solar syst IN We can indeed form
some crude estimate of prob
abilities; beyond it, nothing.
All the amazing progress OF
modern science, all the revel-
atoms made by the spectroscope
or by photography, all the ad-
vance in biology have not
brought us a step nearer an
answer to the question, Is this
the only inhabited world?.,
We stand essentially where
Whewoll and Brewster did half
a century ago, we or might say
where Calico and Capoano
were three hundred years ago.
We can indeed spin out the dis.
cussion at greater length than
our predecessors, and can INTRO
duce a far larger number of
or less irrelevant facts, but of
seriou, argument, either for or
against, we are entirely des-
titute.

MANHATTAN THEATRE.

The revival by Mrs. Fiske and the
Manhatten Comdany at the Manhatter
Theatre, New York, of Ibsen's'' Hedds
Gabler'' promises to create as great a
sensation as did the original performar &c
OF this play in which Mrs. Fiske figured
chiefly last season at the same theatre
The audience at the Manhattan last
Thursday night as the succeeding
audience since have seen - saw one OF
the most remarkable performances OF a
great pay that this generation Of play
goers has been privileged to witness
| Brilliant as was Mrs. Fishes first appear
,uce in the title part of this fascinating
drams, it was surpassed by her work on
t',at evening. as it s surpassed nightly
now at the Manhattan. Her acting fi:-
nishes one of the most thrilling and int
Test-gripping experiences made possible
in drama, and must be seen to be sp-
preciated, for no mere description of it
could give an idea of its strength, finesse
and variety ] 1t is remembered that the
representation Of this play last season at
the Manhatten was highly praised fo- Its
general excellence. AS Mrs. Fiske's act
ing now trahscends that for which she
was then SO Landed and applauded, so
also now Is the acting of her supporting
company mnch more remarkable. John
Mason as Lovborg, the erratic genius,
George Arliss as the piabolic Assessor
Brack, William B. Mack as the simple
husband, Laura Me- ilvray as Mrs. Eiv-
sted, Mary Madden as Aunt Julia and
Emily Stevens as Berta all contribute to
one of the most symmetrical and powe
fol performance that the metropolitan
stage has seen in recent years. Those
who saw this play in Mrs. Fishes hands
last season will wish to witness it in the
new circumstances, and no lover Of the
theatre can Oxford to miss :" Hedda Gabler
as it is now being presented at the Man
hatten. The run Of the play will be lin
tied. and thus this rare opportunity t.,
sec exceptional acting in al exceptional
play will be brief.

Klaw and changers pr oduction o.
'Humpty Dumpty'' began It's second
week at the New Amsterdam last Monday
enening. The attendance the first week
was the largest in the history Of this great
theatre, with a tremendous adyanc, sale
daily. No array Of adjectives that could
be marshalled by the most enthusiastic
writer on theatrical affairs would over
praise this wonder full spectacle. 1t is not
only a ~bewildering beautiful treat to the
eye, but it appeals in other ways as we'll.
Its comedy, artistic in every sense, pro-
vides humor; its musical side supplies
many brilliant numbers pleasing both to
the trained and unframed ear: It's ballets
present most beautiful DANCES, groupings
and procession and the %pantomimic and
sensational interest is supplied in the
clown, harlequin, pantaloon and oolun,-
bine and in the marvellous acrobatic feats
Of the demon and gnomes. Such q gen.
erous measure of entertainment was new
er before presented in any New York
production. That this fact is appreciated
is amply shown in the enthusiastic ap-
plauss that accompanies every feature,
and in the expressions Of satisfaction
heard on every hand as the audiences
leave the house. Every patron receives
his or her moneys worth OF solid Gu ter
tainmen'. "Humpty Dumpty'' is now
" the real thing" in New York.
