STAR THEATRE, Milwaukee, Wis
f. r. TROTTMAN. Mgr.

This is what manager Trottman OF
the Star theatre. Milwaukee,, has Il
say about the burlesque business: We.
in this business, have to compete
against the big organizations that pla!
in first class theatres.
This may seem far-fetched but it il
none the less the fact these big organi
cations which cost many more thou
sands than ours to put out have eouca
ted the theatregoer5 up to the polnt
where they look for fine custOmes ard
good scenery. Nearsilk and make be-
lieve satin doesn't go in our costumes
any more. 1t must be the real goods
and they must be made up ;s artistic
ally as those Of the high class comp; :
MES. Our organizations are known as
burlesque shows, but the name doeen t
make any difference when you come O
compare the shows put on at the
burlesque theatres and some Of those
pretentious. so called musical comedies
and comic operas; they are different
from ours only in name, the burlesque
shows today must be clean and up to-
date. Our aim to try and play to
lady audiences as well as the men
audience.
Is used to be that we could get chorus
girls at $500 week and they furnish
their own wardrobe, now we pay them
$4,000 and the manager must provide
them with everything, and we average
from six to ten changes of costumes for
each girl. There are twenty girls with
'ach show, SO you can easily figure
what the cost must be if you have ever
had dress makers bill to pay Some
If the chorus girls who act as under
studies for the principals are paid
twenty five and thirty dollars a week.

Quack Medicines of Bygone Days.

Nearly everything in the animal
kingdom was formerly used In the
healing art. In the Oldest medical
book now known, composed in Hello
polls, where once Joseph served in the
house of Potiphar, we find means for
increasing the growth of hair, prepar-
ed for Schesch, the mother of Teta, the
king of upper and lower Egypt"
Dogs teeth, overripe dates and
asses hoofs were carefully cooked in
oil and then grated. AS Teta lived be-
fore Cheops, this recipe for hair oil is
older than the great pyramid at Gizeh
and is supposed to date back more than
5000 years. The heads Of venomous
serpents have held an important place
in medicine. A strong broth made

I ever sat down to. One course appear

eggs came on unadorned. Their shells
were intact, and yet, when we broke in
to them, we found that they contained
nuts and sweetmeats. Another course
was whole oranges, with unbroken
skins, yet inside the oranges were five
different kinds of jelly. The Chinese
guests took these two courses as a mat

New Terminal Grain Elevator Of Enor-

Interests.
interests.

A new terminal grain elevator of
large apacity-probably 100000
bushels, will be erected at Sioux City
by men backed by the Hill railroad in
terests. This is development OF first
importance in the Western grain trade.
1t means new face upon the situa-
ton in territory rich in grain ton
mage, and the center of flercest COM
petition on the part of the railroads
and the two great grain markets of
Minneapolis and Chicago. 1t means a
new problem to be faced by the Stick
ney interests and the Great Western
In building up grain market in Oma-
ha. 1t is development favorable to
Minneapolis.
The Great Western does not enter
Omaha. The trend of grain traffic,
from Omaha as center, is toward
Chicago. The erection of big ter
minal house at Sioux City where
grain, billed through would be taken
in by the roads, subject to later re-
billing to ultimate destination would
centralize much business at point
where the lines feeding Minneapolis
could handle it advantageously.
Report also has 1t that an elevator
company will build second house, as
soon as the company is completed by
the railroads. Both of those will serve
the Minneapolis market very largely.
This is one of the results of the con-
struction of the new line of the Great
Northern from Sioux City to Ashland,
Neb., to connect with the Burlington.
Heretofore the dominant Sioux City
railroads, the Milwaukee and st. Paul,
and the Northwestern, have success
fully prevented the establishment of
terminal elevators at that point, as
they wanted the long haul to Chicago.

Investigation Is BEGUN.

The senate committee on insurance
has begun work in earnest on the
charges made by Senator Molsberry
against certain Iowa insurance COM
panies. A subcommittee, consisting
Of Senators Whipple, Gourtright,
Stuckslager, Maytag and Wade, has
been appointed to consider the neces-
sity for an investigation. State Audi
tor Carroll was called before the COM
mittee and asked about charges made
by Molsberry. He stated that some
OF the irregularities charged in Mols-
berry's address to the senate existed,
but said the companies had been re-
quired to remedy them and had prom.
1sed to do SO, and in some instances
the changes had been made. A promi-
nent member of the committee said:
THE committee intends to give the
matter thorough consideration, and if
1t Is decided that additional investiga-
ton is necessary, either the Molsberry
resolution or the Warren bill will be
reported for passage"
