MIND AND MYSTERY.
DIR. Osbron Delivers Interesting Leo
ture at First Nj. e. Church.

Those who heard the lecture of Rev.
A. T. Osbron of Kansas City at the
First Methodist Episcopal church on
Mind and Mystery" went home with
a new set of ideas in their head-and
many of them were valuable to the aV-
erage person who lives the average life
in this average world.
Rev. Mr.. Osbron made a speciality of
sympathy and told in his talk how
the world in general is in need of SYM
pathy, and how a man who is sick needs
nothing in the world SO much as
glad word and a word of sympathy. He
believes that many people are under
the impression that God is dead and
when a man is down and out he is
helpless. He said there were instances
where people had been on their backs
in bed for weeks and on advice from
one who knew the Omnipotent power of
God got up, dressed and in few days
were as we'll as ever.
He said in part: You can be what
you want to be in this world. You tell
me what you think and 1 will tell you
what you are. If you are not the buSi-
ness man you ought to be you do not
understand the laws of success
Rev Mr.. Osbron is pastor of Meth
odist congregation in Kansas City and
as soon as his present term expires he
will go on the lecture platform on the
subjects pertaining to psychotherapy.
He will return to Topeka again next
month and deliver a series of lectures
on the above mentioned subject.

The tragedy Of the two stranded stage

been brought to a happy ending. Love

thought the girl had stolen $40 found
the gold piece in his sample case and
hecane very repentant. Yet the young
people sweated in the morning by an
officer had admitted they were not mar
ried and there remained that charge.
The crowd in the court room at the
evening session, as the two We're
hrought in became curious and then
as they told their story of the strand
ing of their troupe and their coming to
Topeka, employment at the Throop, and
their living at the Darlington, all the
while intending to get married on the
2Oth of March when they would draw
a sufficient pay to do so, the Sobbing
of the girl softened every heart until
everyone hoped they would go free. But
they had no counsel and knew no other
plan than to plead guilty to the charge
that the Judge could do nothing but give
them the least fine provided by the or
dinance, $25 each. which would mean
their confinement in the prison away
from each other for a period of 25 days,
as they had no money.
Their youth and apparent innocence,
however. had earlier in the day at

tracted the attention of the Throop's
manager, the salesman and the matron
with whom they lived, and their COM
bined efforts secured the release of the
sobbing girl while the man, who had
started the wrong, paid the boys fine.
A wonderful change came over the
two fearful lovers as they were
brought together An awful weight
seemed lifted from their minds and they
promptly accepted their benefactors as
witnesses to their marriage. The party
proceeded directly from the Jail to the
office of the probate judge where they
were made man and wife. The wages
due them is sufficient to help them on
their way and they will seek other fields
with the climax of a dramatic life re~
treating into the past.
With a pass good until Sunday
morning three privates Of Company
G of the Seventh cavalry, stationed at
Fort Riley, boarded an eastbound
due the earth. By the time they
reached Topeka about 8 o'clock Fri
day, they had had enough drinks to
believe the earth already theirs, when
the conductor kicked them off and
called Patrolman F'ribance to take
charge of them. The soldiers, whose
names are Charles G. Morris, Sidney
G.. Hudson and Harry NJ. Scheckles,
promptly informed him that he looked
like a small piece of dog flesh to them
and that they would like to see him
arrest anybody.
Fribance then began a series of
maneuverS they were not acquainted
with and the police patrol took them
all over the river. At the station they
again started a fight with the officers
under the impression that a jailer and
a sergeant has no chance with soldiers
and one spying old Colonel BOYD
lowed he could whip any niger in
the world. He was sent staggering
across the floor by Driver Palmer as
II he had been a school bov and the
other two were foored quite as easily

DISCOVERY OF GOLD.
In the Rocky Mountains to Be Cele-
brated at Idaho Springs.

Idaho Springs, Colo, March 10
The fiftieth anniversary of the discov-
cry of gold in paying quantities in the
Rocky mountains will be the occasion
of an elaborate celebration by the
citizens of Idaho Springs.
The first discovery of gold in the
Rockies was made by George w. Jack
son, May Z, 1859, at the present site
of Idaho Springs. The exact spot
where the first gold was discovered
has been purchased by Lafayette
Hanchett, general manager of the
Newhouse mining interests of Utah
and Colorado, with a view to securing
a site for a suitable monument. The
ground will be presented to the town
of Idaho Springs by Mr.. Hanchett on
the erection of suitable monument.

Max Figman has certainly thrown his
net around Topeka. This promising
young actor made his fourth appear
ance at the Grand opera house and re-
ce1ved an ovation such as has been ac-
corded to no other star this year. He
was repeatedly called before the cur
tam and finally in order to appease the
Wild clamOr he made a little speech in
which he said: It thank you,"the reuuis-
lite number of times and was then per-
mltted to go on with the play
The Substitute in which he appear
ed this year is of the farce comedy or
der IN which the hero finds himself in
all sorts of embarrassing situations He
IS a lawyer of the firm of ''Vandegrift
& smith. He has a pasta terrible
past-for he has married an actress
VINO was also something of an adven-
turess. She secures a divorce and the
man in the case moves from the west
to New York where he becomes a fam
GUS lawyer as Junior partner in the
firm of Vandegrift & Smith. A certain
young divinity student who is to marry
Smiths sister is to preach his maiden
sermon in country village but is ta-
ken suddenly i'll and Smith the lawyer
agrees to find substitute and thus
eases the young mans mind but when
he attempts to find preacher to fill
the pulpit he fails and is compelled to
accept the duty himself The preacher
whose pulpit is to be supplied in the
country town is the victim of a de-
signing woman who has secured blank
checks and has looted a trust fund held
by the preacher and he is about to lose
his pulpit and go to jail besides He
has a pretty daughter who is an i'm
portant feature of the story for if it
hadn't been for this daughter the hero
might never have fallen in love, a sit
uat1on in which no hero can be left
The substitute preacher-lawyer has a
hard time in the minister's house for
he insists on swearing, smoking and do
ing all sorts of unpreacher like things
Finally the old preacher comes home
and insists in filling the pulpit himself
and the hero is relieved of this duty
But he saves the old man from disgrace
What is the use of having a hero if he
can't save some one? He discovers that
the woman who robbed the preacher
was no one else than Mrs Smith No.
1 who had married the son of the dea-
con in the parish. Then Mr.. Smith
completes the story by marrying the
girl and every one except Mrs S. No.
1 and the prosecuting attorney who
wanted to send the old parson to prison,
is happy.
The play is a good one, for the kind
and the situation are amusing enough
to keep the audience in a roar most of
the time. Mr.. Figman was twice seen
in Topeka in THE Man in the Box a
clever play but the hit he made on his
former visits was insignificant compar-
ed to his reception last night He had
