 The Shubert-Belasco-F Fisk theatrical inc terests are gradually acquiring new play houses outside of New York This com bination will yet make the so-called trust vince, if it has not already done so. Two theatrical trusts are better than one. be- cause they create more competition but in course of time there Is nothing to pre- vent the new syndicate from acquiring the identical faults that MT. Belasco has at- tributed to the Klaw and Erianger com bination.
 A lawyer named Smith inserts a large advertisement in New York newspaper warning the people of Connecticut, Mas sachusetts. Maine, New Hampshire, New York. Rhode Island and Vermont, except those who reside in Hartford and New Haven, Conn.,, and Poughkeepsle, N. Y, against selling, buying or reading the October number of Everybody,s maga- zine. 1nasmuch as Thomas ". Lawson has attacked one of his clients Attorney Smith says he will prosecute anyone buy ing, selling or reading the offensive con tribution. It would be interesting to dis cover just what Lawyer Smith is driving at in his pronunciamento. There are moro sensible and more profitable ways in which he could spend his money. If he thinks his foolish advertisement Is going to have any effect he must sorely mis- judge the ealibre of the American people, They will read Lawsons Illumination If they want to, but if they don't it will not be for the sake of Attorney Smith.

Impressed with Birmingham.

"I was amazed to find Birmingham such handsomely built city" sad Roger Atkinson of Atlanta a few days ago,
 q had been hearing great things about Birmingham for many years but l had never had occasion to come here until recently I expected to find exceptional energy and hustle but I was not prepared to see such an elegant and solid city. When 1t is remembered that Birmingham is practically only 20 years old, the citys development is simply marvellous"

KANSAS is WEALTHY.
The Showing Made by Kansas Banks for
the Past Year.

The latest statement by the State
Bank Commissioner puts Kansas in
the band wagon of western finances.
The deposit of Sill, 1894, 1892, as
shown in the statement, is the largest,
in the history of Kansas. The indi-
vidual deposit, which correctly repre-
sents the deposits of the people, for
the first time exceeds S100,000,000-
to be exact the amount is $100,89S,
970S2. The wealth of the state can
be judged by this deposit. The pay
meet of taxes, the high sprice of wheat
the marketing of fat cattle, and sale of
corn have all had an influence in
building up this magnificent deposit.
The demand for money, as shown by
the $3.50, 600 increase in the loans
in the past two months, has kept pace
with the increased deposit.

About $50 CIoSin q.

Wenotice by the Leader of last
week that nearly all the business men
of EIlinwood have signed an aggree-
ment to close their places of business
at $50 p. m. hereafter. There are
times when this can not be done, and
when it is necessary for employees to
work over time, but we believe that
generally all business should cease at
that time and the employees be gwen
an opportunity for restand recreation.
1t is a good move, and while some of
our large establishments have been
practicing this. there are others that
are not which should. Ten hours
work is enough, and if it is necessary
to work more than that occasionally,
pay extra for the extra time.

The Weather Reports.

We have been several times asked
why the irregularity occurred in pub
fishing the weather forecast. The
only answer that we can make is that
the Western Union does not receive
the reports any more because as they
have been informed. the appropriation
for that purpose has been exhausted,
and the new one does become avail
able until July LIST. The McDearmott
Office gets the reports part of the
time, and when they do We publish
them.

potatoes,

The Marion Record of a recent
date says:
"Marion will have one of the finest
auditoriums in central Kansas in a
short time as work is being rapidly
pushed. The building is of cement
blocks and stands on East Main Street
overlooking Central park, and is 55 x
90 feet with balcony and will make
a handsome addition to Marion's
many fine buildings. The funds are
subscribed by the citizens of the town
and will be managed by committee
of leading citizens. A fair will be held
in the near future and the funds raised
will be used to seat the structure and
to furnish the stage with the needed
curtains and scenery. Among the
articles donated for the benefit of the
auditorium is full blooded Hereford
teifer given by Orlando JolIife, Of
Summit township"
AS Great Bend is better town
than Marion, would have more need
for such building. and could raise
more money any old day, why are
@e not doing this-or something
better.

SOUTHERNER'S GOOD FORTUNE.
Sam Hoover Finds Something Better
Than Gold Mines.

There is no happier man in this
whole wide world today than Sam A.
Hoover, of Greensboro, N. c., who
is receiving the congratulations of
his friends upon his fortunate find of
something better than gold mines or
oil wells. Mr.. Hoover in a letter to a
friend in Great Bend writes:
Three months ago was greatly
distressed by nasal catarrh and en-
tire deafness in the right ear. The
Ia Dor of hawking and scraping to get
my throat and nasal passages free
from the foul secretions deposited
there, might be about equal to that
of six mule team with a road
scraper to get the earth from the
roadside to the center.
purchased an outfit of sHyomei
and Hyomei balm. and as result of
its use my head, throat and nasal
passages are all free from secredons
of any sort, only as Nature designed,
and my hearing In both ears is nearly
as acute as it ever was"
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing in using Hyomei; just breathe
it and its pure fragrance viii kill the
catarrhal germs in the head, throat
and lungs. Hyomei balm used in
connection with Hyomei, viii cure the
worst case of catarrhal deafness.
The complete outfit costs but 81,
and extra bottles are only SO cents.
Ask Hooper Drug Co. to show you
the strong guarantees under which
they sell Hyomei It costs nothing
unless i cures.

UP, AND COMING
A Good Meeting of the Commercial
Club Was Held Monday Night.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Commercial club held Monday night
was fairly well attended, and was pro,
longed by discussion for the best in.
terests of the club for a considerable
portion of the evening. President
Brinkman, in calling the meeting to
order, spoke about the necessity ofthe
club adopting a more liberal policy
and devoting more time to the bus
mess end of the club. The question
was seriously discussed of abandoning
the organization as it now exists and
of reorganizing along purely a
business club line, but that was
thought not to be best. 1t was finally
decided to reduce the membership
fee to $500, elect by majority of
the members present, reinstate former
members without any fee except dues
and committee was appointed to Sc
cure reinstatements as well as new
members.
The wholesale grocery proposition
and several other matters were dis
cussed, and the sentiment was unani-
nous that the citizens and club should
do everything within reason to assist
the concern, or any other institu-
tons which might be secured.
There is no doubt but what the
club can be built up and made a
power for good, for the upbuilding of
the city. And we have no objection
to the social feature, but all other
matters should not be sidetracked for
that. Let us put every business and
professional man into this club, and
hen see what we can do.
