notable musical successes. of recent

1.-THE Umpire" is a Lawrence. Kansas,
man. He was born at Kansas city,
Mo-. and is of rather ordinary parent
age. Becoming an orphan at tender
age he was practically a Wa1f on the
streets of Kansas City. Arthur Meak
adopted the yoUngster, and brought
him to his home at Lawrence. The III
tie fellow found it hard to wean him
self from the life he led in the city,
and it was with difficulty his foster
parents kept him in school. At best
he didn't accomplish much in the di-
rection of gaining knowledge from
books.
From his early age he showed a
natural bent for music and when he
came to be about IA or Is years Old
his foster father placed a piano IN
billiard hall that he conducted in Law
renee. and the now famous musician
played and sang every evening for the
benefit of the patrons of the hall.
Howard later wandered away from
Lawrence and went west, endlng up AZ
San Francisco. He fell quite naturally
into a theatrical life, spending years In
the amusement of the public in one
way and another. Eventually he began
to attract attention on account CT his
abilitv to put together songs that ap-
pealed to the public, and 1t wash SO
long after that he helped in the prepa-
ration of several of the lasting musical
stage successes He is about 80 years
old, and is now playing in the last OF
his efforts, 1.-The District Leader.
Howard played at the opera house at
Lawrence Tuesday night, and the
whole town nearly turned out to give
him welcome.

principals in the cast here last night.
Miss harrison secured a divorce from
her former husband and Mr.. Howard
from a former wife this summer. Inc
divorces were secured in Inherent

cidences, news of the granting of the
divorces reached Mr.. Howard ana
Miss harrison, where they were re-

Chicago, on the same day. In fact both
received the news during one forenoon,
and with an hour or so Of each other
They took an automobile trip to Ham
