OF INTEREST TO HoRsEMEN.
Board of Agriculture Has Only Set of
Wallace's Register in Kansas.

HorSemen will be interested to know
that there is now in the library of the
state board of agriculture at the state
capitol complete set of WaIlace's
American Trotting Register and Wal
lace's Year Book. which books consti-
tute the technical Bible of horse own
ers. The publication of these books
was commenced about 1870 and the
early volumes are almost unobta1nabIe.
The set in the state board of agricult-
ure library is the only one in the state
Wallace's American Trotting Regis
ter consists to date of seventeen well
bound volumes, and in which every
standard bred horse is eligible to en-
try, whether trotter or PAGER. This
set is especially interesting and valu-
able to horsemen, and is much con-
suited by them. Complete sets of this
Register are very scarce and hard to
get, and the board was only able to
obtain the full set through the gener-
osity of the horsemen themselves in
bought. AS a sort of companion set to
this is Wallace's Year Book, of twenty.
two volumes, which is also priced nv
horsemen as it contains records of tn q
yearly races. showing the horses en-
tered. and the time by heats, as well
as other useful information. Together
these mage valuable compendium for
the man interested in standard BREEDS
and their performances, and it is
thought that the library of the board
of agriculture is the only one in the
state of Kansas that has these two
sets, and the difficulty of obtaining
them make these a property greatly
appreciated.

TO Be NO LIQUOR.
Republicans Bar 1t From Sale at Ma
tionaI Convention.

Chicago, May 1S.-The subcommit-
tee on arrangements of the Republi-
can national committee passed a rule
which puts the Coliseum, where the
convention is to be held, in the pro-
hibition column. It declares that mo
liquor shall be sold, served or brought
into the convention hall either at the
committee meetings or during the
convention week. u
The committee also placed a ban on
portraits as adornments for the walls
OF the hall, and the decorations, ac-
cording to the present plan, will be
confined to flags and bunting.
The reason given for the latter pro-
hibition was the number of favorite
sons whose pictures delegates might
insist upon having placed and the
Jealousfes and friction that might
grow out of the placing of them.
The committee also decided to au-
thorize Chairman New to arrange for
a parade of the marching clubs
which are expected from all parts of
the United States.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Novelty.

Some good news for the patrons Of
the Novelty theater will be found in
the fact that the Rusticano Trio, the
Italian street singers, who made such
a tremendous hit at this play house
during the past week have been re-
tanned on the bill for this week. This
was made possible because one of the
acts which had been booked in for this
week, a singing, dancing and talking
act put on by Lancaster and Badan-
augh, a man and a woman. did not
measure up to the standard demand
ed by the Novelty management at the
performance on yesterday afternoon
and so it was cancelled. This left
vacant place on the bill and The
Rusticano Trio who had not yet left
the city were engaged to fill it. This
cancelling of an act is all the evil
dence that is needed that the Novelty

not to forget his love for her. At the
college she is in a jolly class, a class

Joy themselves. Joe Lyons, the foot

jorie, but she is undecided whether
to marry him or to follow a Career"
Her old sweetheart, Raymond, visits
her and declares his love. And then
well, what's the use of giving a
good story away before the proper
time?
All Of the principal parts In the
opera are in the hands of Competent
singers and there's a well balanced
chorus to help them along. The stag
ing of the piece calls for a number on
pretty scenes and there is little doubt
that this production will eclipse anv-
thing in the amateur theatrical line
which has been seen in Topeka.

Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed IN every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co.. only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

pure rollicking humor have made warm
