1t is to laugh. Kathryn Osterman is at
the Krug in THE Night Of the Play
All have TO laugh; they laugh often and
long, for when the laughter-loving Kath-
ryn throws back her head, Tits her chin to
an elevation of As degrees and the ripples
Of her mlrth bubble forth and grow and
swell into waves and pillows or merriment,
there is no use trying to resist. The bacil-
lus OF joy is in the air and one can es-
cape it no more than one can escape dur
ing an influenza epidemic. All the company
laugh. that is all except Betsy. the new
girl at the Grifftng's. This important
functionary was not once detected with
even a semblance Of a smile. But laughter
is the keynote of the whole production, IT
is featured in the advertising and in the
performance. it breaks out at the most un-
expected times and places until sometimes

not they are going to overdo it and spoil
the fun by too much of IT. But, fortunately.
they do not.
The play is well called Nh eccentric
piece The mirth all comes from the sit
u%ations, as there is nothing especially bril-
liant about the lines and in the hands OF
a less capable company It is easy to con-
ceive Of a production savoring strongly of
slapsticks.
Feminine interest went out strongly to
Miss Osterman's gowns. One Of them was
especially elaborate. The veracious press
agent states that it cost 1900. Perhaps
it did, for while it is good to look at, no
mere masculine intelligence could even
venture a guess at its value.
Aside from Miss Osterman herself, there
are two members of the company who
should be mentioned. Gavin Harris as
Jack Brasher. the husband, does some
work which is as clever as Omaha people
have seen lately. He is natural, unaffected.
There is no straining for effects, but he
is equal TO each situation and is easily the
best of the male member of the cast. G.
L. Worthington, as Ebenezer Griffing, "a
caution and a warning TO parents and
guardians" and around whom the storm
center always hovcrs, is worth seeing. He
has a most difficult part, from both an
artistic and physical standpoint, but his
work Is creditable. Guy Sampsel, as
George Hemingway, "a lamb from Wal
street. has a laugh which may be de-
scribed as unique, but which should be
used in guarded doses, as it is apt to get
on the nerves of the audience.

THE NEW,
 NOISELESS RIFLE

Springfield, Mass, Aug. 27.-In the presence of a committee of United States army officers, Hiram Percy Maxim, the veteran inventor, yester- day demonstrated beyond all doubts that the noiseless gun which he has invented is success. During the test held, both in the armory and in the field near North Wilbraham, he proved that his new gun can be fired within one hundred and fifty feet of a person without that person hearing any noise louder than the snapping of ones finger. Maxim used a cricket he found in bush to demonstrate the guns effectiveness The officers could hear the cricket chirp It a distance of fifty yards, even when the Maxim gun was being fired. A sharpshooter took aim at target with the gun far down the yard, he pulled the trigger.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1908-08-28

From the white metal plate. more than a hundred yards away, there came a sharp metallic ring. The bullet had plowed into the steel, ebut scarcely a discernible sound came from the gun When slowly slight hissing, so slight as to be hardly audible, was heard, which Maxim explained was the re- action of the gun. In the field test the officers placed themselves six hun dred feet from the sharpshooter, an ordinary rifle was plainly heard. Then
 Maxim adjusted the noise killer '' Eight times the soldier fired and eight times he hit the target, all the time the officers coming closer to him. They could hear the steel projectile smash against the target, but they heard no other sound. Finally. when within one hundred and fifty feet of the soldiers, they heard faint sound. It was the hammer of the gun strik- ing the cartridge. But they heard nothing more, nor did they see smoke 7r fire coming from the weapon.

He said that Kansans who voted for Taft and state ticket would stul- tify themselves. The government should be willing to guarantee other deposits when it required guarantee of it's own deposits. He preferred guaranteed banks to postal savings bank, which extended the Federal power too much, and he said three- fourths of the Kansas bankers favor eG the guarantee plan.

IN
 STATE POLITICS
Election Date Is Questoned-Act Changing Date of Election From First to Second Monday in Septem. Der Not Effective Till September May Change Whole Election Plans

Tine various party candidates in Ar kansas, and particularly those in Lit tie Rock, very suddenly went up in the air" yesterday morning. figurative- iy speaking. when some one incident ally called attention to the fact that the statute passed by the last General Assembly making the second Monday the regular election date, instead of the first Monday in September, had never taken effect, and that if an elec- ton were held at all this yea, legal ly, it would have to be held on the first Monday in September. At least that was the contention of the man who made the find relative to the provisions of the new election date law.
 Ever since the last General Assem- bly passed the new act. changing the date from the first to the second Mon- day, the public has gone along under the impression that the law was now ill effect, and that the coming election would have to be held in accordance with it's provisions.
 But here comes the question that has been suddenly sprung, and which has already been put up to Attorney General Kirby for his opinion. The first section of the act changing the date says that the election of 1908 shall be held on the second Monday of this year. But before the writer of the act completed his task he added a provision which says that all laws and parts of laws conflicting with the proposed law shall be repealed, AND THAT THE NEW LAW SHALL BE IN FORGE AND EFFECT ON AND AFTER THE SECOND MONDAY OF SEPTEMBER, 1908.
 This last clause, it is pointed out. invalidates the first clause ordering the 1908 election to be held on the sec end Monday, because the law itself does not become effective and hence has no repeating power over the old law, until after the date for the regu- lar election under the old law for 1908.
 The act of 1907, in part, is as fol- lows:
 Be it enacted, etc. That section 227G2 of kirby's Digest be amended to read as follows: On the second Monday in September 1908, and every two years thereafter. there shall be held an election in each. precinct and ward in the state for the election of all elective state. county and town ship officers. etc.
 That all mills, mines. shops and factories in the state shall suspend

work on the day ol the general! cleo 7 tion, etc
 1 That all laws and parts of laws in 1 conflict herewith are hereby repealed land this act shall take effect and be 1 In force on and after the second Mon 1 day in September, 1908 Approved
 March $, 19O7.'
 It IS thus seen at a glance that the law cannot, according to it's own Ian guaSe, take effect until the second Monday, 1908, a week after the date , for the election under the old law, which is still in force Had the pro visions of the new law said that the act became effective from the date of the approval or Immediately then the old law would have been repealed by virtue of the provisions of the new.
 It is stated that in certain sections Of the state the Republicans are pre- | pairing to hold their election on the first Monday in September, holding that the old law is still in force, and that the first Monday is the legal date.
 It was this, perhaps more than any thing else. which caused the question , to be raised and hurried to the atten- tion of the attorney general. Should this be the only legal date for holding elections this year, then only ballots cast on that date would count, and q small vote might elect whole ticket.
 Attorney General Kirby said that
 he was not yet ready to give out an opinion in the matter, as he had Eot looked into all phases of the oues- tion "At first glance, I am inclined to think the election should be held on the second Monday, but there are oth | CT conditions that argue for the other
 date, and it will only be after care ful analysis of all the points involved that I shall be in position to render an opinion. However, I shall give an 1 opinion before my departure for St.
 Paul, as the matter is of no small mo-
 ment. One thing is certain. and that is that only one general election can be held in one year, so the question depends upon whether the first or the second Monday is the legal date"
 It will be remembered that in the opinion rendered by the attorney gen. !eral in cases where the right to office was involved he has laid particular stress upon the advantage which the man holding a certificate commission of election had over any other con
 testant. Tn this case, if an election
 were held On the first Monday, and
 commissions were issued in accord 'ance with such election then it would
 be difficult to dislodge such officials
