FOR TWO NIGHTS.
Majestic Vaudeville Company at New
Temple Theatre Tonight.
From the Houston Post:

From the Houston Post:
There was applause for every act at
the Majestic last evening, the opening
of the weeks bill. However, there
was some difference in the character
thereof. The Del Costa grand opera
quartette probably drew bit more
vigorous encouragement, but the Mex
lean Zamora family was given warm
praise which was most hearty.
The Cycling Hoffmans have an act
which is well given. They have a cir
cular cage-like structure and the act
consists in riding about this, solo and
duet, in manner which requires skill
and strength. They have both and do
their stunt we'll
Dick and Barney Ferguson gave the
Dimple Sisters as an original sketch.
Barring some of the slapstick work it
was passably good. Dick has dane
ing specially which is the best thing
in the sketch. 1t really stands out.
The grand opera quartette rendered
several numbers in most acceptable
manner and responded to two en-
cores. They are finished singers who
understand the teachnique of their
art The singing of Annie Laurie
especially captured the audience and
there was applause from every part of
the house.

good dancing.
Lillian Ashley gave an imitation of
several things along juvenile lines.
She has a stage presence which is
most charming.
The Mexican family certainly put
on an act which is deserving a great
commentator. The work cannot be
excelled for unique features. There
are three performers, Juan, Evelyn
and Corona, and each is letter perfect
in the portion of the various perform
ance which falls to his or her share.
They are of much grace and handle
themselves as trained athletes should.
The little girl gives an act the like of
which has never before been seen in
Houston, twisting and turning from a
-trapeze held by the other two at arms
length
Richards and Grover did very well
indeed in a portion of their sketch.
Some of it was rather drag, how
ever. There was an interruption in
the audience which distracted atten-
ton from the stage for the moment
and added nothing to the effective
ness of the turn.
Tom Kelly, known of old times, was
the extra attraction He got a very
good reception for the most part He
is seemingly in his prime in black face

Acknowledged as the Originator of the
Commission Form of Government.

Des Moines, Ia, March 30.-The
men who will govern Des Moines dur
ing the next two years, under the So
called commission form of govern
ment, are being voted for at today's
election. Des Moines is acknowledged
as the originator of the commission
form Of government, as applied to
Iowa cities, and the results OF
her experience will be followed with
close attention throughout the coun-
try. That the people themselves are
alive to the Importance of the occa-
sion was evidenced by the early vote
this morning, which was said to be
larger than ever before at an election
in this city.
The election today registers the
final choice of the people in regard to
the candidates selected at the pri-
mary two weeks ago. At the primary
two candidates were selected for may
or and eight candidates were selected
for commissioners from list of forty
two. that were voted for. The election
today will result in the final choice of
a mayor and four commissioners.
The chief aim of the Des Moines
plan is the elimination of politics
from the municipal government. So
far the working out of the plan has
been satisfactory The recent primary
was decidedly peoples election.
Among the defeated candidates for
commissioner were many old polite
ans who have held office in Des
IMoines for years. The highest vote
given any one candidate for commits
sioner was for John MacVicar, a for
mer mayor of the city and one of the
founders of the American Municipal
Reform Society. Old-time politicians,
including several former councilmen
and other office-holders, were showed
under at the primary.
The two mayoralty candidates be-
ing voted for today are A. J. Mathis,
the present police judge, and Eugene
Waterbury, who is regarded as a slate
candidate. Mathis is democrat and
Waterbury republican. If the advo-
Gates of the plan hold to the rule of
no politics and do not draw party lines
Mathis is believed to have the best
chance of winning.
AQf the eight candidates for commits
der four are Independent, one rep
esents the labor element and the
other three are looked upon as candi-
dates of thA-sripo" J R'faslitieiaRs pre-

the ground that, inasmuch as there
was concentrated fight in the pri-
mary in behalf of the slate members,
the scattering vote will go to the in
dependent candidates in the final
election today.

Has the Little Animal in Cloth
Lined Box at FireSide,
OTHER THREE DEAD.
Smart Youngster Being Cared
for as One of the Family.
Mother Cow Has Twice Before
Given Birth to Twins.

Chanute, Kan, Feb. 22.-Snug in a
box lined with cloth and stuffed with
hay, the little red calf which is the only
survivor of the quadrr p1ets born to the
COW of Chas. Robertson, 1910 North
Grant avenue, snoozes alongside the
kitchen fire, as we'll cared for as many
children.
The calf is weak. but shows signs
of vitality sufficient to cause Mr.. Rob-
ertson to think that he can save it's life.
Because of its weakness and the fact
that the chill of the night before had
caused its companions death, Mr.. Rob-
ertson fixed up box and took the calf
into his home yesterday. 1t Is in a box
about the size of a cracker box.
The little ones mother watched the
proceedings for it's removal closely. It
was the only one of her four babies
it taken away. The calf was too small
to pay much attention to what was
happening to it, but not so it's mother.
She guarded it jealousy, and to all ap-
pearances, has not yet become reconcil-
ed to the separation.
If the calf had not been taken into
the house, where it gets the warmth
of the artificial heat, there is no doubt
that it would have died as the three
others which were born with 1t have
died. 1t is a smart little thing and
readily learned to drink milk, needing
only a little coaching.
Mr.. Robertson gave 1t it's supper by
dipping his finger in the pail of milk
and then giving the finger to the calf
to suck. When it took hold of it. he
gradually lowered 1t into the pail until
it was submerged. The calf had the
trouble all calves have when they first
try to drink. Its nostrils got full, and
1t had to raise it's head and blow them
out Mr.. Robertson persevered, and af-
ter two or three milky shorts, the calf
got on to the trick, and gulped the milk
down with great relish.
Then 1T gave signs that it wanted to
stretch itself, and Mr.. Robertson lifted
1t out of the box and put 1t on the
kitchen floor. The calf balanced itself
unsteadily on its long, trembly legs,
| and proceeded to experiment with them.
When it found that they were to serve
| for purposes of 1ocomotion, it set them
! to use and was soon romping around
the room, much to the diversion of the
| family.
The calf is a solid red in color. It's
mother is a Poland Red, about years
old. The COW has twice given birth to
| twins.

PARSONS NEGROES PROTEST.
VIII Garry the Case of Separate
Schools to the Courts

Parsons. Kan. Feb. 22.-The ne
groes of this city are raising a protest
against separate school building.
They have employed an attorney and
will take the matter to the courts c.
S. Denison of Erie is their attorney
Mr.. Denison was in Parsons last
night and met number of his clients,
but would say nothing this morning
as to what his course of procedure
would be, except that he would serve
notice on the school board, and if they
go ahead and build after his notice is
served they do so with the prospect of
lawsuit on their hands. Mr. Denison
says he is confident that a mandamus
will be issued, prohibiting the board
from going ahead and building as they
have planned and as the bonds have
been voted.
Mr.. Denison seems to think that
there would not have been any con-
siderable protest from the colored
people If two buildings had been built
instead of the one, which necessitates
the colored children in crossing the
tracks and many of them walking a
long distance to school. He claims
that there is no law warranting the
wiping out of ward lines except for the
purpose of taxation.
