"W r. ZANDITON never before showed
hIW such a tremendous stock of mer-
MN chandise in Topeka as he will when
he opens his new store In the meantime
we will begin tomorrow selling the new Fall
merchandise at the lowest prices ever offer
ed you for new goods by Mr.. Zanditon or
any other store in Topeka.
Mr. Zanditon does not want to pay any
more storage on these goods than he posi-
lively has to and he has decided to cut the
price on his original low price marked.
Remember, when we say new Fall goods,
we mean goods that have never before been
shown in our store. Ladies Suits, Ladies'
Coats, Ladies Jackets, Ladies' Skirts, La
dies Waists and Ladies' Furnishing Goods.

similar action
The resolutions declare that the time
is not ripe for a reduction of fares. and
that the state needs vastly more to be
developed. They point out that IS
counties yet have no railroad facilities.
and that much of the state is totally
undeveloped. The resolutions also re-
cite the fact that such agitation re-
tards railroad building, and that the
people prefer better equipment and
more trackage to reduced rates. The

He Believes i'm Radiunn.

New York. Sept. 13.-Dr. Robert
Able, a prominent physician of this
city, in a paper before the dermatolo-
gical congress now in session here
stated that he believed radium was
effective in many cases of cancerous
growths. naturally those of the epider-
minal type. The speaker made no
contention in favor of radium for the
internal cancer. He displayed casts
showing the favorable effect of early
treatment of the external or skin
cancer by radium and added comment
on the sometimes effective supple
mentary use of the Roentgen rays.

HWW R. ZANDITON is sadly disappointed
ALV in not being able to move into his
EAAy new location at the appointed time
September l. The new store was to have
been ready for occupancy on that date, but
owing to the delay in getting material the
work has been delayed and it will be at
least October 10th before can move.
While Mr.. ZanditOn was in New York he
bought $4,000 worth of this FALL newest
merchandise from the largest factories in
the United States for his three big stores
Topeka, Pittsburg and Salina. These goods
were bought to be shipped and delivered be-
fore September 1. to be in readiness for the
big opening of the big new store. These
new goods have been coming in for the past
three weeks and are piling up on US We are
simply over crowded in our present loca-
ton and have taken all the available storage
room we could get. We can't wait for the
new store to be finished. The people are
clamoring for our new Fall goods. They
must have them.

New National Theater.

The blue and gray Of Georgetown Uni
versity made up as pennants and streamers
and used for decorative purposes among
other college furnishings on the stage, and
a long strip of blue and gray bunting above
one of the boxes added local color to the
production of "Strongheart," at the New
National Theater last evening. To carry
conviction that it was really blue-and-gyay
night there was numerous aggregation
Of Georgetown Indians in the gallery,
whose chief purpose in life seemed to be to
give vent to war whoops,- of which the ia
miliar 'Hoya, hoya saxa; hoya, hoya-
Georgetown was the basis. Much Of the
enthusiasm was due to the fact that Mr..
Edeson, the star, had the assistance in the

ing the interval between the halves OF a
big game, of members of the foot ball squad
of Georgetown varsity, who helped matters
along by utterlng the 'Hoya, hoya saxa!''
remark, in vigorous chorus while on the
second appearance Of Mr.. Edeson in
"Strongheart" in this city. The comedy
drama has met the test of time success
fully. 1t is one Of those plays replete with
the attention of the audience from the mo-
ment of the initial rise to that Of the final
descent of the curtain. The story of the
education Of a full-blooded Indian. the son
of chief: at an eastern college. Of his pop
ularity with his classmates, of his success
on the foot ball gridiron. of his fidelity to
his friends, of his nobility in shouldering
the responsibility for treachery to the team
In order to shield friend, of his love for
white girl. Of his encouter with the law of
races in being told that he cannot marry
the girl, of keeping faith with his people
upon the death of his father by sacrificing
his love to obey the call of duty, is full of
incident and dramatic intensity. Mr.. Eide
son has the assistance of a capable COM
pany of players, including Harrison Ford.

THE THEATER R.
Columbia Theater.

A play in which kyrle Bellew appears
is sure to possess one element of strong
artistic interest and at the same time OF
popular appeal. The star, Mr.. Bellew, is
a man of the highest personal graces.
He has the charm of individuality, and
his mastery of stage effect is so COM
plete that whatever he does seems easy,
effOrtless and sincere. He is essentially
a hero. Bellew as an out-and-out stage
villain would be a menace to society,
He would make crime fascinating. In
fact. he really did something of the sort
as "Raff1es"-who was, however, too pal
pably a creature of fiction to invite Sc
rious imitation. But his fitness for hero
ism does not destroy his versatility. He
Is equally at home in the guise of lover
of Romeos intensity, fighter of DAT
tagnan's bravado, or, as In the case or
his present play, a drawing room knight
of Chesterfeldian polish.
"A Marriage of Reason has a warmth
of dramatic Interest that bellies the philo-
three characters conspicuOusly involved
in the plot-the husband, the wife and a
young poet There are moments in the
play which suggest Shaw's Candida,
but it is in nowise so unpleasant. Mr..
Bellew is depicted as high-bred Eng
lishman. whose destinations are attested
by several love affairs, tho finds him
self bankrupt, and entersA into cold
blooded bargain by which he exchanges
title and position for the millions of an
American girl. A small boy, his son by
a former marriage, plays ar important
part in the story. The role introduces a
very bright lad, Master Richard Story,
who gives performance of real merit,
quite free from the .affectations that
usually mark the child actor. The boy
constitutes a link of sympathy between
the old life and the new, and is finally
the means of adjusting complications
which at first his existence threatened to
create. Miss Clara Ward has the role Of
a frank vivacity which is the more
charming because 1t is not attained by "a.
sacrifice of womanly sentiment She is
as convincing a picture Of the rich, we'll
advantaged American girl abroad as has
ever been given. The Eight nasaIity of
not offensive. reminder of one aof the
traits for which we are most criticised
abroad. If this method Of speech could
always be employed as pIettily as Miss
Ward employs it, it would soon be known
as charm and a national distinction.
The performance is beautifully equip
ped as to. scenery, and the cast fully
competent to interpret the several strong
situations which the play develops. The
dialogue is straightforward and natural;
the speech of refined people free from
anectations of artificial smartness. There
Is in the action an occasional intrusion
of anti-climax that will doubtless be
eliminated, and Mr.. Bellew does not quite
realize the conflict of emotion in the
scenes in which, while suffering agonies
OF apprehension concerning the illness
of his son, domestic complicati ons are
heaped upon him. But he is gentleman
from his aristocratic silver hair to his
cleaning patent feathers; a figure of I'M
varying attractiveness whether in action
or repOse. 's'-.- ~---.-

REGARDED AS A "HooDoo.v
Misfortunes on Rural Delivery Route
in Indiana.

The "hoodoo" rural delivery route has
been discovered by the Post Office Depart
ment. 1t Is known Route No. ~ and
emanates from a large rural delivery dis
tributing Office In Indiana.
This route has always been considered
the hardest one to serve from that particu-
lar Office. but many do maintain an other
wise good reputation until an unlucky Fri
day few weeks ago, when the regular car
rier sprained his leg and went out of COM
mission. As there was no regular substi-
tute for route No. T., one of the regular car
riers on another route at the same Office
undertook the job. He was unfamiliar with
the route, however, and on the first day lost
his way, and returned home late at night
with most of the mail matter undelivered.
The second day he succeeded in getting
over but part of the route, and then gave II
up as bad job. Another enterprising
young man was found few days later, and
he started out early with his wagon loaded
with mail. He had proceeded but a short
distance when his horses took fright and
ran away, breaking through neighboring
garden, and wrecking the wagon. 1t re-
Quired the efforts of six or seven men to
capture the horses and take them home.
The young man, decided that he had enough
and declined to make another trial.
This last episode seemed to take the
nerve out of all the available rural ma
terial In the neighborhood, and the delivery
of mail on route No. will be a doubtful
quantity until the regular carrier RECEIVERS.
The people along the route are hoping that
he will not become discouraged at the ex-
perience of himself and the others and re-
fuse to return to duty.

When David Belasco's thrilling drama

Golden West" was given it's first perform
ance at the opening of the Belasco Theater
here more than a year ago. both the play

by Washington audiences during that ini-

when an audience that filled every seat
in the Belasco Theater extended approval
no less enthusiastic than that which greeted
the piece on the occasion of its former
engagement. 1t is drama that contains
a constant appeal to the interest of Amer

early western life that teemed with ro-
