weeks Dill, the Laurent ITO, is WIN
one or two exceptions the highest sal
aried act that has ever appeared at the
Midwinter exposition. 1t is a gymnas-
tic act that is thriller and will create
a sensation. There is a woman and
two men in the act and the woman sup
ports upon her shoulders the heavy ap-
paratus, upon which the men, each of
whom weigh in excess of two hundred
pounds, perform. 1t is an act that in
PRODUCES European features that are
entirely new to this section of the
country. Leon and Alkaline appear in
a comedy juggling act that has proved
very popular on the Keith-Proctor cir
cult during the past year, and it will
certainly make good in Topeka. There
is lot of fun in their performance,
which is termed 1.-THE Lady Juggler
and the House Wrecker," and the way
that they smash china is a delight to
the dealers in crockery.
Mile. Hilda, who has appeared this
week at the Haymarket theater, Chi
cago, will be another act that will please
the audience. This is a refined contor-
ton act. The little lady makes very
pleasing appearance and will prove
favorite. Other acts will be announced
later.
Among the Booths.
The demonstration of the famous
Sackett Plaster Board by the Chicago

not only interest builders and contrac-
tors but persons contemplating build
ing as well. The Sackett Plaster board
is used in building, instead Of lathing
and offers so many practical advan-
tages over the old-fashioned lath that
its popularity with contractors and
builders has compelled it's manufac-
lures to operate three factories. Here
are some of the advantages claimed for
it by the makers: 1t replaces board lath,
it being a lath and plaster combined;
it is the best known fire retardant; an
absolute sound deadener; it is an non
conductor of cold or heat; 1t reduces
the amount of plaster necessary in
building; 1t contains so little moisture
that it will almost allow plaster to
dry while being put on; and last and
most important it costs no more than
the ordinary old-fashioned lath. Mr.
E. Winter, general sales agent. or Mr.
Robert Pierce will be at the booth daily
and will be pleased to explain its ad-
vantages to all interested.
