IN THE THEATERS.
Majestic. the 4New Vaudeville House,
Is Open.

One of the best vaudeville shows that
has been seen in Topeka, and that Is
saying a good deal, but the statement
is not an extravagant one. is presented
by the acts on this weeks bill at the
Novelty theater. And although the
Novelty had competition yesterday
through the opening of another vaude-
VILE house in the city. its business was
not diminished in the slightest. The
house was packed to the doors at all of
the performances yesterday afternoon
and last night. Eugene Ellsworth and
Miss Madge Burt, in hilarious little
farce called Home, Sweet Home" are
easily the headliners on The bill, al
though all the other acts are way above
the average of their class. Both Mr..
Ellsworth and Miss Burt do some really
clever acting and the medium for their
efforts is a bright skit, almost every
line of which is a laughmaker. Mays
and Hunter are styled on the pro-
gramme as the Worlds Premier Banjo
lists, and it's likely that they deserve
the designation, for It would undoubt-
eddy be hard to find better banjo play
ers. For a novelty they had what is
called the largest banjo in the world.

The Majestic theater opening was at
tended Sunday by a crowd that COM
fortably filed Topekas new amusement
house. No little interest has been man
ifested in the new theater and although
the building was formerly used as the
state printing plant it has been remod-
eled so that it makes a very credit bic
theater fer the purposes for which it
has been opened. On account of the
newness of everything there were 4
few bitches. but the vaudeville bill was
good and the audience liked 1t and
made allowances for the bitches The
most serious criticism of the house
seems to be that the acoustics are not
as good as might be. but this defect
may doubtless be remedied. Stanton

dancing team make things lively for

STOLEN DOGS.

If the reports which are being cir culated concerning the manner in which the dog ordinance is being ad- ministered are true in only one casa out of ten, a state of things exists in this city at present that should be immediately remedied by the severe punishment of are parties responsible for it.
 If, as has been said, dogs have been stolen from the very yards of tho ir owners for the purpose of swelling the fees obtained for l gs found at large, no language con'd express the coa tempt ir which such reople sho uld he held, anG nc condemnation could 'rc too severe for the authorities that eormit such actions under their very eyes.
 To think of the nerve of a cl.v off, cial who takes, before the eyes of sev- eral, good dogs, while worthless, man. gy CUTS wander unmolested, is to con- template a piece of brazen effrontery that could only be expected from one who was totally devoid of the sense that distinguishes between perform ance of duties and rascality.
 Should the accusations be proven steps should be taken at once to have this blot on the administration of Nomes laws removed.

DISAPPEARANCE OF PERSONAL
 PROPERTY.

Attorney General Dickson of Colo the art of concealing personal prop erty from the assessors. He finds in it an evidence of clever ingenuity of his constituents that compels admira- tion, not unmixed with contempt. It both surprises and chagrins him to find that there is not dollar on deposit in any Denver bank; that the bonds, promissory notes and other evidence of indebtedness amount to only $164,000, and that there are only $3,00O, 900 in- vested in manufacturing in the whole state.
 His findings are comparable to those of a California commission which learned from the assessment rolls that in the state four-fifths of the sheep had ceased to produce wool, fifty coun- ties had beehives, but on only four did the bees make honey; money, in accordance with the proverb, had taken to itself wings. and in all the states  the decrease of personal property was significant of an early return to primi- tive conditions, when men ran naked and subsisted on raw fish caught by hand.
 If the taxing authorities could be made to believe that all the failures to discover personal property were real evidence of it's disappearance, there would be little use in going on with the republic. There soon would be nothing to tax and nobody whose prop erty needed or asked for the guardian ship of a government.
 Mr. Dickson furnishes a strong argu- ment in favor of the abandonment of the impractical attempt to tax person. al property and the substitution of more scientific system of raising rev. enue and of securing fair participation of all kinds of property and persons in the obligation of supporting the gov ernment.

FRANCIS HENEY, PROPHET.

The disagreement of the jury in the Glass bribery case reminds one that as a prophet Attorney Francis J. Heney is entitled to the belt. On November 10, 1905, addressing a mass meeting in opposition to the reelection of Mayor Schmitz, he said: "I know personally that Abraham Ruef is corrupt, that whenever he wants me to prove it in court I will do so. l say further that if Schimtz is reelected, grating will become so bad that the people of San Ruef in the penitentiary where he be- longs"
 Schmitz was reelected in spite O Heneys warning; within a year San Francisco sent for Heney, and within eighteen months Heney had wound such a net about Ruef that he pleaded guilty and is on his way to the peni- tentiary, and Schmitz has been con victed and sentenced to five years inn prisonment.
 Meanwhile the people of San Fran. cisco have paid dearly for their negli- gence of a plain and truthful warning with a year more of shameless graft, a street car strike characterized by the usual slack police administration, riots, deaths, and the destruction of prop erty.
 The election of Schmitz was brought about originally by the fatuous party spirit which kept republicans and dem. ocrats from cooperating to run their local affairs without politics. He was division.

OUTSIDE CAPITAL.

The rise of Alaska in the estimation of the financial world can easily be gauged by the recent influx of capital into its every part.
 All the magnates have not, of course. just turned their attention herewards this year, but careful survey of con- ditions will show that the increase of wealthy arrivals becomes more re- markable as time advances.
 To speak of the famous Guggenheim interests and the Alaskan ramifications would be to give expression to the ob- vious, but to say that the immensity of their undertaking serves to obscure the work of other large, if lesser in- vestors in Alaskan fields is only to speak a plain truth.
 They have their representatives from Nome to Juneau, but the present month has witnessed the arrival in Nome of more men with large amounts to invest. perhaps, than any other month in the history of the camp.
 Recent events, as readers of the Mug get have observed, serve as an indica- tion that the tin mines of Seward pen insula are about to enjoy an era of exploitation that alone will render cer- tain the permanent existence of an i'm portant settlement.
 Millions are at the service of men interested here, while every boat brings to Nome some one who represents practically unlimited capital for use In developing the rich veins or the exten- sive deposits scattered over the penin- sula.
 The attention of outsiders is being directed towards Alaska more and more, and the present year gives signs of being the commencement of a still more prosperous era.

An Electric Smclter.

A ton of pig iron piled on the
pavement in front of the Lorenz
Hotel in Redding is an exhibit of
which Shasta county, Calf, is
proud. This is a portion of the first
lot of seven tons of pig iron ever
lsmeltered on the Pacific Coast with
out the use of fuel, at the electrical
process smelter at Hedeoult, Pitt
river in that county. Since making
the complete-test run the smelter
has remained closed, because the
Northern California Power Com
pany, which furnished the electricity,
could not spare 1000 horsepower
OF energy longer than was necessary
to make the demonstration. How
ever, the company is now increasing
its system so that its wires will
carry double their present 10000
volts. This change will be COM
pleted and then the smelter will be
started up again and will be kept
running steadily, producing twenty
five tons of pig iron a day. Not a
pound of coke or coal will be used in
the process.-Ex.
