The Land OF Nod,

'The Land of Nod" to be presented
at the Metropolitan May %. is an en-
tirely new and original musical fan
tasy or extravaganza, in a prologue
and two acts, by Adams and Hough,
with music by Joseph Howard, and
which has scored the greatest hit in
Chicago of any musical production
ever made in that city-which has
turned out quite a number of them
during the past few years-and strange
to say, marks the return of the Chi
cago opera house to its original policy
in the prosperous days of David Hen
derson-extravaganz Since Mr.. Hen
derson's reign as the king of musical
extravaganza and previous to the pro-
diction of the Land of Nod" the
theater has been devoted exclusively
to high class vaudeville; consequently,
the success of the Land of Nod" is
all the more remarkable, as the pro-
duction was made at a time when
there was all kinds of opposition in
this style of entertainment, which was
being presented at twelve other thea
tiers and innumerable new summer
parks running in full blast at the
out-of-door resorts. However, merit
usually wins, and the Land of Nod"
has been greeted with crowded houses
for five solid months. During this
time there have been twenty-four diff
ferent musical productions presented
at other theaters for engagements of
only one or more weeks.

The appearance of a bike rider
travelling Third street is similar to that
of a small boy in the bottom of a
wagon box, riding across the frozen
ground of corn field in the fall of
the year. The percentage as to dig
nified appearance is all with the boy,
at that.

to protect the peoples rights, is more
than sociaIism-it is anarchy: and
we're I a railroad agent instead OF a

the proposed legislation as a salvation
to my master from the fate which an
indignant people is sure to visit upon
the corporations who believe that they
are above and beyond the law, and
seek to become a law unto themselves.
Let the law pass" Mr.. Townsend
concluded, "and let the railroads heed

The CaIifronia passenger train No.

road was ditched at Laura, 25 miles
east of GaIesburg, ILL.,, at an early hour
today. At the time of derailment the
train was making between so and SIS
miles per hour, and that no passengers
were Killed outright seems a miracle,

cars, a smoker, a chair car, two tourist
cars and two Pullman sleepers were
derailed. No person was killed. Those
injured are:
Mrs. Farrell. streeter. Ill, back
wrenched.

The cause of the accident is not
positively known at the general Offices

brake beam was responsible. The
amount of damage will be heavy. Traf-
f1c was delayed eight hours.

It seems to be the general impress
sion that Henri Allen will be elected
to congress from the Second district
over Charles Scott, in spite of the strong
showing made by Scott'S friends at the
| Kansas Day affair.
The primary election plan will, it is
said, result in giving Allen an immense
advantage. Wyandotte county, which
has always been a valuable trading pro-
position for some "fayorite son. will
now have to come out of the woods and
/ vote for either Scott or Allen. And
| Wyandotte will give Allen a big vote.
| S. S. Glasscock. representative from
Wyandette county in the last session
| of the legislature, said last night
.fIt is my opinion that " VyandDLt2
county will give Henry Allen 4,aa0
majority. The fact is that Scott has
very little following in our county.
while Allen is popular. Allen mas
made many speeches with US, and is
well known. He viii have things his
/ own way. I don't see why Scott
should consent to this primary eiec-
! tion plan, except as iast resort. 1t
seems to me that he must have con-
cluded that he was 5ea.en anyway
Congressman Scott. in speaking Of
Governor Hoch's recent interview of
the sugar beet proposition, said:
Il have no hesitancy in saying that
Governor Hoch must be misinformed
about the sugar beet question II he
thinks that the proposed reduction IN
the Philippine tariff will affect IN any
way the beet raising proposition in
Kansas. The admission of Philippine
sugar under reduced duty viii pc I1ke

Kansas delegation had been able to
discover that any possible harm would
come from the passage of the new
tariff law, we would have opposed II.
AS it was every member in the house
voted for the bill, and [ feel sure that
Senator Long is fully committed TO
it. and that it will be useless to try 20
move him.
There is prospect of some difficulty
! between S. B. Rohrer and G. E Denton
/ over the secretary of state nomination.
| Denton is from Attiea in Harper coun-
/ fv. and Rohrer has recently moved to
/ Barber county. According to the
/ statement of Denton's friends, H. H.
/ Case, the chairman of the county
/ central committee in Barber county,
saws that Rohrer cant have the Bar
Der county delegation. Barber and
/ Harper counties are side by side in

state cannot both thrive in the same
locality.

He was a partner of Frank Grimes in

Wanton Destruction of Fish.

Denver-A Republican special from
Steamboat Springs Saturday says;
Some miscreant last night attempted
to kill all the young fish in the Steam
boat Springs fish hatchery by shutting
off the water which supplied the build
ing at the head of Soda creek, and but
for the fortunate discovery by Superin-
tendent Brickel at 2 O'Clock this morn
ing that the water was not flowing in
the trough. all of the half million young
trout would have been dead in short
time. 1t was only by most strenuous
work on the part of Mr.. Brickel's fam
ily that enough fresh water was kept
in the trough to preserve the life in
the fish and this was supplied by buck
cts from a ditch at some little distance
from the hatchery. Early this morn
ing 1t was thought every fish that had
been hatched this year would die. but
this evening the superintendent has
hope of saving considerably more than
half of those which have attained
growth of one inch or more, but all
of the late Matching are dead and the
loss may reach 100000 Of both rainbow
and native trout.
