TE1EATERS

Students of physics and folks in
terested in science should not fail to
see Electro, the human dynamo, at
the Family theatre this week. The
uncertain quantity and eccentricity
of this greatest of Natures forces
make It extremely dangerous to work
with, but Electro has schooled his
body to the consistency OF metal
conductor of the fluid, and voltages
hitherto unknown in the history of
human endurance is passed through
with apparent ease. The little lady
who efficiently assists him I'm his
wonderful experiments is equally
fearless in submitting herself to the
will of this untamed force, and be-
comes the medium through which he
performs his feats, the most difficult
being the lighting of gas jet from
the electricity in the tip OF the tongue
the most sensitive of the bodily or
gans. High school pupils especially
should see harnessed electricity in
the hands of Electro.
Equally a feature with the scien-
tiiic act was the pictorial lecture OF
Mr. Walter ~ Eble, assisted by the
greatest of Edison motion picture
films, where Is My Wandering Boy

HALF HAS
NOT BEEN TOLD
Greater Senatious than Ever
Promised in Pittsburg
Graft.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 25-That great
er surprises than have yet been
sprung in the councilmanic graft eX-
posures will result from invcstiga-
tons begun by the grand jury yester-
day, is the belief of persons in touch
with the case.
For weeks District Attorney Will
liam A. Blakely, Leo Well, president
of the Voters league, and others con-
nected with the prosecution have
been quietly working on additional
evidence which It is expected, will
he brought out by the grand jury
now sitting.
No arrests have been made of men
charged by the wife of Councilman
John E. Klein with conspiracy in
framing up charges against her hus'
band, who was convicted of conspir'
acy and bribery, although it is al
legged by Counsel for Klein that the
men for whom warrants were issued
have been rubbing elbows with the
constables in the courthouse.

The crusaders against
the most popular present day Ameri-
can entertainment, motion pictures,
would be compelled to look elsewhere
for their altruistic efforts If such stor-
les as that of the wandering boy
prevailed. It IS more effective than
the most eloquent sermon, for the
mind is not called upon to reproduce
an imaginary picture of the scenes
drawn by word, since they are ac-
tually visualized, and can give itself
up entirely to the sentiment OF the
situation Mr.. Ebel gives a vivid
portrayal of the erring son in SYM
pathetic and well modulated voice
which can be distinctly heard in every
part Of the theatre.
Sidney Jerome and company in
their laughing sketch spring Il sure
enough surprise on the audience, con-
yincing to the end. Their comedy Is
good, new, and to the point.
Charles Osborne completes the bill
with monologue and song and there
is the usual illustrated song and mo,
ton pictures. Miss Whitaker-John-
son, pianist, has prepared a special
program Of right-up- music
for the week.

POLICEMAN Is
NEARLY DROWNED
He Was Looking Every Way
But Straight up.
Chamber Maid Empties the Stops
and Soils a Nice Blue
Uniform,

Out in the West End they are tell
ing story today of the sad fate that
overlook local policeman, yester-
day morning, when he was doing
his best to detect an attempt to vio-
late to Rose county option law.
1t seems that the copper had a
hunch that a quantity of beer, near
beer perhaps but OF kind that was
mighty near, was to be shipped in
to certain temperance saloon with
"a hotel in connection. This beer
would be carried in the rear door, of
course, so there Mr.. Policeman sta
toned himself. Behind boxes and
barrels and in a place that seemed
impossible of detection, he waited.
Still nothing occurred and the guar
dian of the public veal became wor-
ried lest the wet goods were being
carried in by another entrance. He
stepped out Of his hiding place and
stood close to the rear of the build
ing. Just about that time the cham
bermaid happened to be in a room
above and doing her daily work. OF
course she did not know that the
policeman was beneath when she
emptied the contents of a slop Jar
out of the window, nor did she
know that her aim was certain. Blu.
to all intents ana purposes it was
sufficient and Mr. Policeman much
the worse for his attempt to find a
Rose law violator, went sadly away,
seeking drier garments, and swear
ing vengeance upon those who had
caused his discontinue.
No one knew of his presence.

Already there are Plans for
the Fall Campaign.
MANY ARE CALLED
But, as Yet, Not One Has
Been Chosen.
Between the Primaries and the
Regular Election the Campaign
Promises TO be Warm.

with little else of interest to be
discussed, the general public is slow
~ but surrey turning toward the
pOlu~al neu oI looms ana bees,
suppressed and covered, but which VIII
soon be exposed in all their glory to
the pilDlic view.
From the present standpoint, it
gems certain that tie campaign this
IAN will De productive OF political
tnn; will be an altogether old-time
contest between the Democratic and
Republican parties, with the outcome
shrouded in doubt.
The head of the ticket in both
parties is very much of mystery
just now. Mayor Scherff has de-
elafed that he will not be n candidate
for third term. Harry Foster and
O. B. Jenkins have been promi-
nently mentioned as aspirants for
the nomination: Tom Clary has many
friends who would like to see HIM
make the race, but neither has ex-
pressed willingness to make the
try, The Republican choice is even
more of mystery that the future
alone can work out. s. II. Keller,
who was defeated last time by Louis
Scherff, may be induced TO again en-
ter the lists despite a recent declara-
ton that he was out OF politics. Nu-
merous other young Republicans have
been mentioned, but none has thus
far declared himself.
For city solicitor, the Republicans
Elmer r. Boyd, VINO Will be can
didate for a second term. The
Democratic nomination would prob
ably go TO W. p. Nloloney, who was
defeated by narrow margin two
years ago, but Mr.. Moloney has
stated positively that he will not be
a candidate. John Himmiger and
Homer Il. Johnson are two young at
torneys who have expressed their In
tention of making a campaign for
the. nomination OF the party and it Is
likely that still others may enter the
field.
For city auditor, the Democrats VIII
unstintedly indorse Harry s. Elliott
and his administration for the past
two years. Mr.. Elliott will again be
a candidate. Just whom his oppon-
ent will be is rather hard to deter
mine at the present time. 1t may be
that Sam T. Quigley, who was de-
feated by Mr.. Elliott two years ago,
will again seek honors at the hands
OF his party.
For members Of the council, candi-
dates are expected to be quite numer-
Gus. Those who are on their first
terms will again have the party $
endorsement while ea,n party must
seek lot of new timber.
Under the new primary law, every
patriot desirous OF serving the city
at a fancy or otherwise salary, may
circulate a petition and have his name
on the party tickets at the primaries.
The fights for the nominations, where
there are contests will be fully as
heated, In most cases as those for
election. In any event the times
indicate that the average man Will
pay more attention to politics this
year because he viii have more time
TO spare than he has had for several
years. The party organizations will
dfne-up for the work ere many weeks
have passed and spell-binders may
he brought in to arouse 'he interest
where the candidate and their friends
are unable to.

They Knew a Thing or Two.

There was a couple who had
two children, a boy of 16 and a
girl of Ia. About that time of
life another baby came along.
With that prudishness so COM
monty found, the parents took
the greatest pains that the child
rem should not know anything
about the condition of their
mother or the impending event,
and when the time approached
the girl was sent on vacation
to some relatives in another city.
At last the great event took
place, and the father came and
said to the boy, Johnny, you
have new baby brother. - The
boy said nothing. The father
sat down at his desk and in a
few moments handed the boy a
telegram. ''Take that to the
telegraph office" he said, and
send it to sister. Hereisadollar
to pay thecharges." The boy
came back after a while and
handed his father the change.
What" said the father, that
telegram cost more than IS cents,
didn't it," "Oh, yes," the boy
replied, the one you wrote
would have cost more. / sent
one of my own. = You did. "the
father said, ''and what did you
say?" oh" the lad replied,
II just wired sister: I win, it's
