A divorce case which was heard and
decided in district court today proved
to be a dirty case. Witnesses testified
that the wife, Mrs. Mary Parkhurst,
plaintiff, had allowed her children to
become so filthy that they were taken
away from her by the Provident assocl-
alton. The evidence also showed that
H. S. Parkhurst, the defendant, was

1t was also brought out in the testi-
mony that Parkhurst and his wife were
first cousins, which accounted for the
condition of the children, who although
small, are considered idiotic. When
these two children were taken in hand
by the Humane society and Provident
association some time ago, they were
found reeking with filth and covered
with vermin. They were also covered
with bruises, alleged to have been ad-
ministered by the mother. Parkhurst
who had filed a cross petition, was
awarded the divorce, but had to pay
the costs.

HITS TEXT BOOK LAW.
Resolution Demanding State Publica-
ton Before School Board.

A fight on the present school text book
law lifted the cover and almost reached a
record making stage when it was smoth-
school board meeting last night. This
fight will also carry with it clause ask
ing the representatives from shawnee
county to support a bill providing that the
text books for the Kansas schools be
printed at. the state printing plant at the

and before the members realized what II
which is calculated as a hide litter as
far as the present school text books and
cerned. 1t is Burtonesque in its wording
and though it was smothered at this
has passed through the hands of the text
book committee and had the rougher
phrases eliminated.
The petition which was read and then
sidetracked is as follows:
Whereas, The present text books IN use
book commission are entirely inadequate
in many respects.
Whereas, 1t has been found necessary
for the board of education to adopt add
tionaI and supplemental books at an eX-
ficient textual matter; -.
Whereas. The present laws has resulted
in giving to the Kansas school children
for a number of years cheap and inferior
books that are universally condemned;
Be it resolved, That this school board Is
in favor of the repeal of the present text
book law and that we urge the shawnee
county delegation in the coming session OF
the legislature to work and vote for
measure which win provide for the state
publication of all text books at the Kan
sas state printing plant.
Mr. Jordan offered to eliminate the
vitriolic portion of the epistle If the BOARD
would adopt it at last nights meeting but
he was finally persuaded that it would be
better to again submit the resolution 70

board pass on it at the next regular meet

in badly mutilated condition, simply
recommending that the state arrange TO

If when you give our regards to
Broadway, you should add, incident
ally, that ALA Nazimova, the sensation
of three theatrical seasons in New
York and the most talked of actress
on the English speaking stage, had
played a one night stand in Topeka,
Kansas. to an only average house,
Broa dway would doubtless be una ble
TO credit the statement. That its opin-
ion should not have made a more pro-
found i'm preston upon the primitive
yokels'' of the prairie states does seem
incredible, but the fact remains that
there was not a big advance sale for
Madame Nazimova's local engagement
and that she played to a comparative
1y small house at the Grand last night.
The parquet was pretty well filled but
the only box occupied was that re-
served for the manager of the theater.
It was not such an audience as
greeted Mrs. Patrick Campbell and
Mrs. Leslie Garter, who were here for
the first time last season. and yet Mrs.
Campbell and Mrs. Carter are counted.
in a manner, passe in New York, and
Madame Nazimova and that other
Yiddish actress who graduated from
the Ghetto to Broadway, Bertha ka-
Itch, succeeded them in the tickle favor
of Gotham, and drove them to the
provinces where the second Mrs. Tan
queray and Du Barry are still darmatic
novelties.
But to have been heard of at all in
packing the Grand. and calling country
kin to town from Usage City, EmpOria,
and mego-On-the-Kaw. means to
have been heard of ad-nauseam in
New York. To the average provincial
intelligence there is only one great

violinist, Kubelik; only great flay, Ben
Hur; only one new" book. Three

gown has not been dramatized.
However, let's not grumble at those
who didn't see Madame Nazimova in A
Dolls House last night. Like the un-
weeper, they're more to be pitied
than censured, for surely we have
never seen her like in this mans town
before. Nothing so subtle, nothing so
illuminating as her Nora has been
our privilege to behold. There are
people among us who affect, with that
strange, provincial idea that it is hu-
morouS to be Jay" not to be able to
comprehend Ibsen, but surely no one
could sit through last nights per-
Torrance and pretend not to compre-
bend The Dolls House nor to deny the
Importance, the seriousness of its mes

Nora. the contrasts of the first and

To woman she is transparency itself,
and as portrayed by Madame
Nazimo va, all those apparent incon-
sistencies which so many of her
predecessors in the role have en-
phasized. are explained and justified.
Every woman who reads 1.-The Dolls

At the Novelty.

A bill that is so well balanced that it is
hard for anyone to pick a certain act as
the headline act is what the Novelty
theater is offering its patrons this week.
There are three acts that stand together
in a class by themselves, and which will
be enumerated only in the order in which
Westbrook and Swor, an act which Man
ager Israel booked at the last hour, is a
strong one. The trio do singing dancing
and comedy stunts that are laughable in
the extreme. New jokes are sprung on
the audience and there is nothing of the
wornOut variety in the act.
