last night, when the comedy or Captain
Rocket was presented by company Of
players from those cities.
The bill highly entertained the large au-t
dicncc from first to last, and the cast
was ali evenly balanced one. The acting
of Miss i. Gordon was a distinctly enjoy
able feature, and she was the recipient
OF unstintcd applause. Mr. Burnett NJ.
Kitchen and Mr.. May proved acceptable
In their respective roles Of Captain
Rocket. Obadiah Dawson and Timothy
Tolman. Mr.. James Mum. of Richmond,
tho manager is to be highly congratulated
upon the success Of the organization. The

..EAsY MONEY. .

It is ncomprehensible to most men
how anyone. in cold blood, can COM
init such a crime as John Croft con-
fessed to in the trial of Cal Heck in
the district court Thursday afternoon.
That two sane young men should de-
liberately plan to assault and possibly
murder a fellow human being, against
whom they had no malice in their
hearts, merely for the sake of a few
paltry dollars, seems unreasonable.
And yet it was done. And when one
comes to reason it out, was not the
crime of Heck and Croft different only
in degree from many committed by
some who are horrined by this at
tempted murder? When asked what
led up to their crime. Croft said:
Something was said about getting
easy money
Easy money" lies at the bottom Of a
multitude of crimes. Leaving out
crimes of passion-hatred, anger, re-
venge, lust and the lilce-"easy money!
the desire to get something for nothing,
causes nearly all crime. It was the de-
sire for easy money that led Senator
Burton to accept fees from a get-rich-
quick concern. It was the desire for
easy money that got the get-rich-
quick concern into trouble so that it
needed Rurton's influence. It is the
desire for easy money that leads to
all kinds of boodling.
The desire for easy money led
Heck and Croft to commit a physical
hold-up and rob their victim of a few
paItry dollars. The same desire leads
men like Rockefeller to hold up a ma
ton financially and rob it Of millions.
Heck and Croft are facing a long
term in the penitentiary as a result of
their crime. Had their victim died it
would have meant the death sentence
for them. They could have earned
legitimately in week all the money
they got by committing this crime. but
they took the chances. In their case
truly is exemplifed the proverb. THE
way of the transgressor is hard"

Then she gives away his flowers and

Next she abuses him. She makes p

not to keep them. She gives his dances
to some one else. She goes off rowing
with a rival when she has promised TO
go driving with him.
When she shuts herself up in her
room and refuses to see him the desired
result is generally accomplished, even
where all other methods have failed.
II he still comes, she can either ask
her father to hit him in The head with

he will either propose or quit. If he pro
poses she can refuse him, and he is sure

WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.

BEEF MEMS EARLY VACATION.
1t is a remarkable thing that while
the beef trust magnates are processing
to have no fear. of the prosecutions in
stituted against them by the govern
ment, yet that aspumber of their en-
ployes whose evidence is desired
should now be on vacations in Canada.
There is a well-founded suspicion that
this absenteeism is not accidental, and
the government officials are hard at
work to find out what it really does
mean. If the trust magnates have
nothing to fear, and are anxious to
have all the facts known, they ought
to see to it that their missing en-
ployes are promptly produced before
the grand jury, where their presence
is said to be earnestly desired. Ger
tainly their absence at this time in
Canada is calculated to prejudice the
case of their employers with the pub
lic.-Pittsburg Post.

If things are coming easy for you,

An Atchison man finds that when he

1t is wonderful how much easier it is

younger.
Did you ever have your way? And
really no reason why you shouldn'
have it?
1t has happened that man has
amounted to more because he had not
fond friends in his childhood who
thought he had a talent for music.
People think they are kind to the old

want to eat; but eating is about the last
thing an old person thinks of.

The earlier the refreshments are
