In the Dressing Room.

1t was just quarter of twelve when
the show broke up. But it was a
first night performance and that
makes up for part of the shortage or
rather the length. But over half of
the big crowd stayed to see the finish,
and apparently enjoyed it as much as
they did the start. Tonight the pro-
gramme will not be so long. A little
pairing was done by Director Donahue,
and people who go may feel assured
that they will get home in time to
start the kitchen fire for Wednesday
mornings breakfast.
The real cause for the long time which
it took to go through the performance
can be found in the fact that the au-
dience called for encores after almost
every number and insisted until it got
enough. Though some people are wick
ed enough to say that the friends of
the comedians made all the noise, it
must be conceded after due and delib-
crate consideration that the perform
ance was really good. There were a
few moth holes in the garment, but in
general the fiber was tough and will
last over tonight, and again stand the
critics fire. Many a fifty cents has
been spent for a much poorer show than
the Elks put on last night. The reg
ulars'' may have more dash and swing
and may know the tricks of the trade
a little better. but none of them can
look more like a chimpanzee than did

FREEDOM OR WORK
Demanded by Two Convicts in the
Illinois Penitentiary.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Refused permits
sion to do hard labor at the peniten-
tiary at Joliet, two confessed murder
ers have begun proceedings in the cir
cult court to secure their freedom.
Judge Windes issued writs of habeas
corpus for the men. George Cantos
and Pietro Pettinato. and will hear
evidence in their cases tomorrow.
When Judge Hutchinson sent Can
tos and Pettinato to the prison five
years ago he ordered that they be put
at hard labor. The sentence is at
tackled because the court is alleged to
have decreed the men to serve part of
their fourteen years each in solitary
confinement.
The prisoners allege that they may
become insane from inactivity. They
declare they have been ready to work,
but that since July 1 it has been de-

ROOSEVELT HIS CONSTITUENT.
William w. Cocks, Elected to Congress,
Has Farm Near Maple Hill.

William w. Cocks, elect
from the First district of New York,
| is in Topeka. Mr.. Cocks enjoys the
distinction of being in President
Roosevelt's congressional district and
also of being more or. less a Kansan.
For twenty years Mr.. Cocks has
owned and operated a large farm
He has spent part of his time on his
place, but has always claimed New
York as a residence. He is apparently
popular at home, for in a district
which is naturally Democratic he was
elected by a majority of 5000. He
lives about ten miles from President
Roosevelts home at Oyster Bay. Last
year he represented his district in the
New York state senate.
Like every man in his position, Mr.
Cocks enjoys talking politics, and he
loves to dwell upon the sweeping vic
tory of the Republicans in New York
and the surprise of the Democrats at
the poor showing they made in New
York city.
Mr.. Parker greatly weakened him
self in the closing days of the cam
paign," said the congressman-e ELECT.
1.-The people of New York resented his
his statements were so wide of the
mark that it made his position little
short of ridiculous. Mr.. Parker'S
managers did not help him to any
great degree. The active support of
McCarren hurt him, and Mr.. Bel
mont's activity didn't do him any
good But however it happened, we
are all very much pleased over the
result of the election"
Mr.. Cocks is an old friend of Ben
nett P. Wheeler, and visited him while
he was in Topeka.

Charley Holiday now stands a show
to win out in his race for mayor. For
the past two weeks he has been threat
ening to sing "Infelice" from the opera
'Ernani." Everything had been offered,
and all was threatened save death to
prevent him from appearing. But it
was without avail. The audience held
it's breath and looked towards the door
when Mr.. Holiday arose. But blood was
averted when two vassals brought in a
graphaphone. While that instrument
ground out the noted song, Mr.. Holli-
day went through the necessary grand
opera motions, and never said a word.
He got nice bunch of applause and as
an encore brought back his musical au
tomobile and had it sing Habit The
chorus was unusually good.
The olio features were as good as
anything and better than many on the
programme Margaret Maloney sang

companied by six Of the end men and

Sand Burr in His Throat.

Atchison, Nov. 29.-The Globe says:
A few days ago Guy Coleman, a farm
hand employed by Mrs. Hattie Orend
in Osborne county, got a sand burr
stuck in his finger while pulling them
from his clothing. He pulled the burr
from his finger with his teeth. In do
ing so he drew the burr into his throat
while drawing breath. Physicians
tried to get the burr out, but could not
locate it. Coleman could neither eat
nor sleep, and this continued for five
days. Finally a doctor in Osborne
who had just received an X-ray ap-
paratus turned it on Coleman's throat
and found the burr and pulled it out.
Coleman had become weak from loss
of food.

of the net proceeds goes directly into

which the wherewithal for many a

Fen from Buggy to Death.

Lawrence, Kas., Nov. 29.-Isaiah N.
Barley, who has lived at 335 Rhode
Island street in North Lawrence for
several years, was found dead by the
roadside north of Lawrence. He had
evidently met his death accidentally
as he left home early in the afternoon
driving a colt and although there are
no serious bruises, except some marks
on the side of his face, it is supposed
that he was kicked by the colt. There
is a possibility, however, that he be-
came faint and fell from the buggy,
as he had been known to have dizzy
spells at times.
