In MAS New Husband" which
comes to the opera house for one
performance Friday evening, play
goers are promised a farcifal must
cal treat of the merriest kind. 1t has
scored heavily in other cities IN
which it has been played, from al
accounts, and has proved a vogue
for all who crave entertainment OF
a light. clean, snappy and lively
type. It's comicalittes are said to be
irresistible and the situations mirth-
full, while the music and special
numbers have been received with
popular acclaim.
No less than 1G song hits, every
one Of them new and specially writ
ten for the piece, are on the pro
gram.
these are varied in theme and in
GUIDE solos, duets, quartettes and
seXtettes They are deftly introduc-
ed during the action of the piece
and never divert TIE mind from the
thread of the story.
The plot involves the characters
in a laughable maze of seemingly
inextricable confusion, but the more
difficult entanglements and obstac-
les are usually overcome by quick
and rapid fire action, although at
times they are unforeseen happen
ings which make the situation still
more excruciating and the fun all
the more delirious.

"AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS

Dispatches from South Africa re-
port the existence of great unrest
among the natives and express an
apprehension that another black re-
bellion against white government is
imminent. The curious statement is
made. says the Philadelphia Enquir-
er, that this situation is largely the
result of proganda conducted by
persons of African descent, who
vent to Liberia from this side Of the
through the territories south of the
Zambesi, preaching as they went the
doctrine of Africa for the Africans"
and urging the natives to cease
auarreling among themselves in or
der to make common cause against
the foreign enemy, and declaring it
to be in the power of the natives, by
a united effort. to drive the white
invaders into the sea. This kind of
talk is said to have made deep i'm
preston on the always warlike Zu-
lus and on the other tribes resident
in Natal and in the British colonies
formerly constituting the South At
rican republic and the Orange Free
State.

AMERICAN WOMEN SLOW.

American women seem slow in
utilizing one of the greatest labor
saving devices ever invented for the
householder. Several years ago fire
less stoves or self-cookers came into
use in Germany. They consist of
boxes, constructed with doublewalls
the escape of heat. The food is first
thoroughly heated on an ordinary
stove, then placed inside the box
sealed and left until wanted, when
it is taken out, steaming hot, and
with all the flavors retained that,
by the ordinary process of cooking,
are dissipated. American men
promptly utilized this discovery;
fireless stoves have been found in
valuable by the army in the west,
Why have the women remained
apathetic? 1t is because the self
cooker. as at first constructed, was
available only for boiling or stew
ing food? If so, there is no further
excuse for holding back, for, as Con-
sui General John w. Dye writes
from Berlin, there is now on the
market an improved fireless stove
that not only cooks, but fries and
roasts, with the aid of a heated
stone. Here is a help In solving the
servant problem by reducing the
hours of work.

PUBLIC INSTALLATION.
Joint Session of WoOdmen of the
World and Ladies Circle Large
Iy Attended

Iy Attended.
Elm Camp. Woodmen of the
World, and Harmony Grove, No.
400, Ladies Circle, met in joint
session Tuesday evening for the in
stallaton of their officers. For the
last two years these organizations
have held public installations, con-
sequently their hall on this occas-
sion was thronged with many friends
and admirers to witness the solemn
exercises. Elm Camp held it's install
lation first, followed by Harmony
Grove
The officers of the circle, clad in
snowy white dresses with their new
regalia, worn first on this occasion,
added brilliancy to the scene They
executed their part of the exercises
in a most creditaDle manner.
An excellent address on Wood
was delivered by Mr.. C. F. VIM
The four little girls, impersonating
Indian maidens were true to life and
had the great chief Geronimo been
present, he would have thought they
had escaped from his tribe.
The reading by Mrs. Riddle was
deserving of the hearty applause
which followed it's rendition. The
duet on the piano by the Misses
Pallet, and the vocal solo by Miss
| Cunningham were we'll received.
| The address of Hon. J. M. Alderdice
was the browning feature of the
evening. He spoke beautifully of
womanhood and if the gentler sex
were allowed to vote he would be
=, elected state superintendent by a
| large majority. At the conclusion of
the program ell repaired to the din
ing room, where long tables, beauti-
fully arranged by the circle ladies,
groaned under their burden of deli
cacies. After the dainty repast had
been partaken of, good nights were
spoken, each returning home bear
ing sweet memories of an evening SO
pleasantly spent with the members
of Elm Camp and Harmony Grove.

Be LOYAL TO RICH BILL.
Or People are Hurting the Town
By Paying Cash on Trains
Buy Tickets,

The habit that people have OF
getting on trains without tickets,
is hurting most Of the towns in
the State with the railway com.
panies, and is in many cases the
cause of cutting down the work
ing forces in the depots and gen.
eral Offices.
1t seems that the railway com
panies class each station in i'm.
portance in proportion TO the
amount Of money taken in.
Since the two.cent fare rate
went into effect, the receipts AZ
the depots have fallen OF great
deal. while on the other hand the
cash fares paid to conductors
have increased as much, or even
more.
On this account it is ayerred,
some OF the through trains have
discontinued stopping at such
places as Lees Summit. War
rensburg and a number Of large
towns. The ticket sales from
these places are so small
Rich Hill will not suffer as
will many towns, because all.
trains must stop here to connect
with the Wichita division trains,
