HUNDRED

Chicago June 6-Over 200 seats In
the Republican convention figure in
the contests which the national oom-
mittee, which began its sessions to.
day, will be called upon to decide.
The Alabama contests will be taken
up first. Arkansas contestants will
next be heard. and 80 on down the
list alphabetical order. Among the
state contests to be decided are Ala.
bama, Louisiana. Mississippi. Okla
homa, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas and Florida. Arizona aad
Alaska furnish territorial contests.
The disrtict con tests come from all
over the country, but mainly from the
South.
Among the political sensations
which have boon sprung concurrent
with the meeting Of the national
committee it is report that Senator
Foraker intends to introduce the
Brownsville matter as a bone Of cen.
tention in the convention.
While Foraker is not delegate he
may get on the floor through proxy
and present the resolution himself,
he may get one of his friends to do it
for him. Should the resolution be
sent to the committee on resolutions
without being read, as would proba-
bly, be done ne could have it brought
out in a minority report And placed
before the convsntion.
Senator Foraker does not doubt
that the calling up Of the Browns.
Vile trouble in the convention will
cause trouble for the administration
leaders. They now have before them
delicate task in placating the con-
testing delegations from several south
ern states, many OF which have color.

practically no possibility Of re-

Yet such thing has actually come to pass. and today The Sunny Side Of Broadway" and Murray and Mack in the principal roles are placed by the press and public of every city so far visited in the proud and exalted posi- tiou, and without single exception. the claims advanced by their admirers are found to be true and well founded.
 The company numbers in all forty people of this number being a chorus of handsome talented and shapely singing girls

ADJUSTMENTS
BUSTER BROWN

The attraction at the Doris opera house for matinee and night Jan. 3rd. 1908 will be the hilarious cartoon comedy. Buster Brown" This pop ular entertainment is this season be- ing presented in a revised form that writers elsewhere have conceded to be a marked improvement over the play as presented in past seasons. While the changes are many. Busters mis- chievousness continues the main theme. This takes new shapes that leads up to d series of ludicrOus sit nations. Buster" is still the appar- ently innocent and guileless child, but he keeps busy getting those about him into hot water In this he has a will ling aide in "Tige." his dog. Another character that figures largely in the funmaking is the Tramp. Of the new characters introduced Mary Jane" is the most prominent. An excellent cast is engaged in the interpretation of the several roles. of Master Rice's performance as Buster" MT. Outcault says that he has at last seen the char acter played correctly. Busters fel- low conspirtor "Tige." is still acted by Jack Bell. while the tramp "Rocky," finds an able exponent in Roger Gray. Dainty Leila Cantna continues as Mary Jane a character that she looks and acts most charmingly. Mamie Goodrich Is still the Irish cook. a role created by her. A newcomer in the cast who is bound to make many friends is Nellie V. Nichols. who will assume the role of Susie Sweet"
 others in the cast are Beatrice Flint Lizzie Goode. F. Colt Alberton. Geo. Yeoman. Percy Walling and chorus Of forty. A feature has been made of the music in the current edition of Buster Brown" Of the twenty num- bers with which the play is interspers- ed there is not one that has not been favorably received by the plaYgoing public. Among them will be found no slow. dronish airs. but instead every one is of the dashing, lively order. The effectiveness with which these num- bers are presented is accentuated by the excellent work of the chorus. Tasteful costumes and gorgeous seen cry add much to the ensembles. An important addition for the local en- gagement is that of the Hughes Mu- sical Trio.

A FOLLOWER
 OF QUANTRELL
Death Yesterday of David
 Greenwood
His Loyalty tO His Com rades of a Most Stirring Period.

Dave Greenwood a member Of the so-called Quantrell gang and one of its very few survivors died yesterday afternoon in the rear of Monroe and Fourth street. He had been i'll for many years. a sufferer from asthma and liver trouble. It was the former ailment that brought him to the Salt River valley nearly fourteen years ago. He was sixty-six years of age and a native Of western Missouri.
 Though he was not an officer in the guerilla organization he was one of its foremost members, enjoyed the friendship of the chief and was the confidential friend of Jesse and Frank James through their long fight after the war against society. He served for a time under General Sterling Price in the war of the rebellion, was an intimate friend of General Joe Shelby and was a relative by marriage of Colonel John N Edwards a well known newspaper writer of quarter of a century ago and the author of books descriptive of the Quantrell or ganizatiOn and the command of Shelby
 After the war Mir. Greenwood moved to Kansas City and engaged in busi- ness there. His associates were the financially solid men of that part of the state and he amassed quite sum of money which however vanished in the panic of '93. He was for two terms connected with the sherifrs office of Jackson county as deputy.
 He was always a valiant deiender of Jesse James character while he liv ed and of his memory when he was dead. James he said was not naturally a criminal;- he was not a bandit from choice but he was driven into that life by circumstances which might not so have affected a man of different tenn perament

WILSON'S BUNGALOW BOOK
is IN SECOND EDITION
FINE EXPOSITION OF BUNGALOW
ARCHITECTURE
Contains Numerous Halftones, Line
Etehings, Wash Drawings and sug-
gestions for Exterior and
Interior Finish

There has recently been published by
Architect Henry l.. Wilson, 218 South
Broadway, the sc cond edition of a pref
ty bungalow book ($t) giving an excel
lent exposition of bungalow architect
ure In picture and descriptive.
There are fifty-siX illustrations in
half-tone, line etchings and wash draw
ings of exteriors, eighty-two floor plans
and numerous cuts of interiors, cozy
corners, hooks, Tnanteis, buffets, side
boards and the like. The Illustrations
are all of homes which have been built,
each being designed to suit the taste
and convenience of the patron. For
this reason especially the book is valu-
able to prospective home builders.
There is an interesting sketch Of the
evolution of the bungalow from it's
primitive crudeness to its present state
of artistic beauty and coy convenience.
The authors preface is interesting
and instructive. Following is an ex-
cerpt:
whether the word bungalow is pure
Indian or Anglicized Indian We have
been unable to learn, but it certainly
originated in Eastern India, where it is
applied by natives and foreigners to the
low bamboo huts with broad projecting
caves and matched roofs used almost
universally for the homes of the rich
and poor alike. The adoption of this
style of architecture is rounded on very
sane and sensible reasoning, for the low
structures safeguard against the dan
ger of the frequent violent earthquakes
OF that country, while the broad extend
in~ roof furnishes shade from an al
most constant and uncomfortably fer
vent sun.
mo doubt the early Spanish padres Of
California had no desire to have tall
buildings tumbling on their devoted
heads, and for this reason built their
houses low and rambling, without, how
ever, sacrificing or abandoning the
rather severely plain curves and lines of
their old Spanish mission style. The
result was quaint and attractive, and,
better STILL these mission bungalows
furnished the text which modern archi-
tectural skill has amplified and i'm
proved, until today we have the perfect
bungalow, house beautiful inside and
out, the very embodiment of home
like coziness and convenience, inexpen-
sive, but of refined elegance, easily
adaptable to almost any location,
whether mountin, plain or valley, or
on the city's narrow streets, or the
broad, shaded village avenues"
