ADJUSTMENTS
FRANK DANIELS coRNERED.
But Wins Out In an lmpromptu Kid
king Contest With Adele Richie.

The fact that Frank Daniels, the
comic opera comedian, sat in a box at
| the Willis Wood theater Kansas City,
at performance of Fascinating Flo
ra,' while he was lying off in that city
this season, gave the audience an op-
portunity to enjoy bunch of i'm
promptu comedy that was not expected.
From the time Daniels appeared un-
| til the last act the comedian was the
target for all sorts of FRANKS and jokes
by Adele Richie and the members of
her company.
The kidding of Daniels illuminated
near the close of the play when Miss
Richie was forced to make a speech. In
her characteristic manner the actress
told as seriously as she could of the
appreciation of the applause.
This isn't much of a speech, to be
sure" she said in closing, but I can
make a better speech than Frank Dan
iels can anyway"

With a quick wave Of the hand to the

with maddening fury. She had the

Then things happened. Daniels held
a whispered consultation with his wife,
who sat in the box beside him. Then,
while the din continued, he mounted
the railing, apparently preparing to
make speech. The applause, which
subsidized for a moment, broke loose
anew when, instead of a speech, the
comedian reached toward Miss Richie,
caught her by one ear and kissed her
1t was a real kiss, too-not a stage
kiss. The actress was startled and ran
from the stage. The applause that fol-

Announcement is made at sKenne-
wick that Captain Baughman, a vet
eran steamboat man is arranging to
build another steamer for service on
the Columbia ana Snake rivers. Traf-
fft along the two rivers, incidental to
the rapid development of irrigated dis
tricts, is increasing at such a rate that
the present fleet of steamers finds 1T
impossible to handle the business Of
fered. An early completion of the pro-
posed electric line from Dayton to
Walla Walla and thence to the Column
bia will add materially to this traffic
and instead Of a half dozen steamers
plying on these rivers as now, scores
will be needed to handle the business
that will result.

math of the late gambling prosecu-

saloon the gambling occurred, will have
to go before the council next Wednes-

will now have to be torn away SO as
to permit a good view from the bar
rooms of the saloons. The balcony
question was brought up by Council

be torn away. Councilman Knight Sec

suit Of Baker City's action many gam
