OLD HEIDEIBERG.
Production at Polls Thcater Pleases
 Good Sized Audience.

"Old Heidelberg" is still continuing to please large audiences at Polls and well l' may. It is no exaggeration to say that the production is of the first water, and those who have seen the Poll production and also Richard Mansfield as Prince Karl say that Mir lngram's work compares very favora- bly with that of the late MT. Mansfield. And Miss Crawford is winning friends every day, She is really bewtchlng as Katrina. It Is no exaggeration to say that no actress here in recent years has won her way into the hearte of New Haven people.
 The play itself Is a clever one, and inc setting adds much thereto. The costumes are true to German court and college life.

George Sidney in Busy Izzy's Boo
die was the same old gag at the
Grand Saturday night. Last year Sid
ney was here and called the show The
Mazuma Man." but the same bank and
ship scenes were on hand and about the
only new feature was a bunch of pretty
girls with unusually pretty gowns ana
a new name. Busy Izzy" is a good
show in it's class. 1t is probably as good
as any of this kind that ever touched
the Topeka shore. The music is Wen
rendered, the girls are as pretty as have
ever occupied the stage at the Grand
and the humor of Sidney as the Laugh
Compellor in the role of Jew is good.
Carrie Webber, playing the part of
Rosetta, the Italian organ grinder. was
fair as an Italian but her good looks.
her voice and her form would have been
to a better advantage as the leading
lady in the chorus. The music in the
musical foOlery was not as good as the
voices of the singers and a better SER
les of songs would have livened the play.
But taken as whole Busy Izzy's Boo
dle'' was as good as could be expected
for one dollar and the small house ap-
preciated the fact by number OF en-
thusiaStic enco-es.

his bride. a girl of but fifteen years,

companied by an officer in pursuit.
At the post Sergeant Hunt met
trouble in another form when he was
confronted by his company commander
who demanded to know why he should
have married without permission and
questioned him as to the age of his
child wife.
"She is 15 instead of IL as they said
she was explained the soldier, but as
to the rest of the questions he re-
manned silent.
"Why haven't you put on long
dresses?" she was asked, as her inter

been so much excitement"

part of last week in arranging pre-

course the inquiry would take, whether
it would be confined to the railroads
and alleged rebating or whether it was
directed chiefly to ascertain what, if

the packing industry. At any rate it
was intimated that the government
intended to make its probing thorough.

Popular With Topeka People.

The New York Dental company. 61S
Kansas avenue, located in Topeka a
little over a year ago, and has, since
that time. enjoyed a remarkable and
prosperous business. 1t has been the
aim of the company, to give its patrons
the most up to date and high class ser
vice to be had. and, While the charges
are somewhat lower than those of other
dentists the standard of work has not
been allowed to decrease. The Offices
are equipped with all the modern appi-
ances, including an electric engine,
lathe, and special lights for night work.
A significant proof of the modern meth
ods of Drs. Richardson and Nelson. the
dentists in charge, is their use of the
wonderful aneSthetic. somnoform, for
painless extraction of teeth. This. it is
said. is far superior to either gas, CO.
caine. or any other drug used for this
purpose.
