BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

What women lose and leave in a
theatre is a subject one might write
volumes about-if he dared, and if the
papers would print it all; but, as
things are, one can but touch lightly
on this really interesting topic.
These observations have been called
forth by the unearthings in the Ma
jestic theatre in the last few days.
| Throughout the house the carpets
have been taken up to be replaced by
new ones for the opening of the new
vaudeville season, and the articles found
hidden under the old floor coverings now
fill a large receptacle in the basement,
says the Milwaukee Free Press.
To be sure, there were little wads of
chewed gum plastered on the under
side Of every seat; yes, even as many
as dozen on one seat in some in
stances. All told, there are said to have
been 11,437 separate and individual
wads Of jaw eXerCiser sCTaped from va
| riOus places in the theatre. And, OF
course, most of these were left by wO-
men. There is absolutely no question
about that say the attaches of the
| house, who observe patrons and their
ways very closely.
But under the carpets was where the
| big finds were made. All sorts of things
| had been scraped and kicked and swept
along the floor until they lodged under
/ the carpets, and there they remained
until the floor coverings were removed.

COPELAND HOTEL BURNS
Famous Topeka Hotel Destroyed BY Fire.
l.. e. Lambert Perished In His Room, and
Number Injured.

The Copeland Hotel at Topeka,
for years the stopping place Of the
politicians Of Kansas, was destroyed
by fire early this morning. |. E.
Lambert, Of Emporia, former q. s.
District attorney Of Kansas, and for
many years prominent in the state,
lost his life in his room in the hotel.
Mr.. Lambert's room was in the
corner Of the building where the fire
seems to have started, and apparent
ly had no chance to escape. Others
in rooms adjoining had a close call
for their lives. Mrs. W. Y. Morgan,
of Hutchinson, A. W. Smith, Of Nc
Pherson, Col. T. B. Murdock, Of
Eldorado, Paul Rich, Of Coolidge, e..
@. Bowman, Of Newton, and several
others received injuries, in escaping
from their rooms through windows.
1t is not known how the fire started.
Mr.. Lambert, who lost his life in
the fire, was to come to Dodge City
soon as one Of the attorneys for the
defense in the murder trial which
will be brought here from Kiowa
county. He has been looked upon
as the leading criminal lawyer Of
Kansas for many years.

FOR A Big CHURCH
Plans Of the Christian Church Likely to bs
For a Large New Building In
Dodge City.

The plans for the new building ol
the Christian church have not been
fully decided upon yet, but there is a
determination apparent among the
workers Of the church to make some
very important improvements this
year. They want a larger church
and department for the young men,
somewhat on the line OF the usual
Y. M. @. A. rooms. It is quite prob
able that the building may take the
form of an entire new church on q
much larger scale, which will be an
altogether new department in church
building in Dodge City. Mr.. Sorey
the present minister, is an untiring
worker. very progressive. and there
are a good many members in the
congregation who are active and tire
less workers.
The plans will probably be an
nounced before very long, and it is
likely that they will be on apretty
good sized scale. There is a strong
young mems organization in the
church, a particularly energetic
crowd, and they expect to accom-
plish a good deal in the future.

TOOK NO ACTION.
City Council Meeting TO Consider Water
Franchise Monday Night Adjourned for
Better Attendance.

Better Attendance.
The city council met on Monday
evening for the purpose Of con-
sidering franchise which has been
asked for some few years by the
Water Works Company. Only five
out Of the eight councilmen were
present and after discussion it was
decided to adjourn, and have called
a meeting later, when every member
Of the council could be present.
Council is made up Of men who have
given good deal Of thought to the
matter Of franchise, and who have
been against granting q franchise
unless it was one which was a good
one in every particular for the city.
Some OF them have rather favored
city ownership. A number Of them
we're elected because Of their views
on the water question and substan-
tial business men were selected.
There is every reason to believe that
when the franchise is granted. that it
will be the best contract for the city
that can be made. Because OF the
makeup Of the council and the we'll
known views Of the majority of them,
the public has not worried very
much over the water works question.
The meeting for the consideration
Of franchise, will be called later by
the mayor at time when each men,
Der Of the council will agree to be
present.

together in this institute work. All
OF the institutes are in close touch
with the experimental work at the
State Agricultural college and
through these organizations, the ex-
perience Of farmers in different parts
Of the state is known to the others.
All who have so far been identified
with the institutes have found them
very beneficial. In some localities it
is claimed that the profit from some
Of the agricultural crops have been
doubled through the knowledge and
encouragement received from the
institutes. Everybody learns what
is bringing the most profit, but the
first thing and the greatest is that
the matter Of good farming is follow :
ed better by the people in general
through the influence Of th institutes.
DR.. Milton will have time to take up
the work and his enthusiasm in the
agricultural future Of Ford county
will do much to get people in general
interested iu the institutes. It is the
idea Of these institutes that the farm
ers, in the meetings take up the great
er portion Of the time discussing their
individual experience. They take up
the study Of farming in their particu-
lar locality, and try to study out the
way to make it pay the highest profit
And in this study they are furnished
all Of the information that the State
and the Government get from their
extensive experiments, and exchange
all Of their own individual experiences.
The next meeting Of the County
Institute is 10 be held on Saturday
afternoon, February 6, at the Phenix
Club room, beginning at 200 o'clock.
The annual dues are only rs cents,
and every farmer in the county is
urged to join.
The following membership was en-
rolled upon presentation OF the matter
and this membership was increased
some before the afternoon was over.
A number Of town people signed
the membership roll to show their
good will to the movement, and from
the fact that every person in the
county no matter what his business,
is interested in the agricultural de
velopement Of the county. The
membership as for as obtained for
this issue is: Fred Lohrding, Hiram
Wray, A. H. Lighter, @. M. Key,
A. f. Whelan, A. Russell, W. H.
Lord, G.. L. Wing, G. Milton,

farmer in the county on the member

FARMERS
INSTITUTE

Monday was bad day for the
Farmers Institute, and the weather
prevented large attendance. The
purpose Of calling the meeting al
that time was to start q county
organization. For some reason Ford
county has been slow in making
start in this direction. The Farmers
Institutes have practically covered
the state during the past few years.
In 1905 there were 13 county organ
izations. Now there are 217. Only
four counties in the state were left
without regularly organized
Farmers Institute at the close OF
1908. In this county there has been
an active local organization at Buck
lin, such as may be found in the
different townships Of many of the
counties, and it is understood that it
has proved beneficial to that locality.
Prof. J. q. Miller, superintendent
OF Farmers Institute work for the
state, arrived Monday morning from
the State Agricultural College, Of
Manhattan, to take charge Of the
preliminary work in forming the
organization.
Only short preliminary meeting
was held in the forenoon. The after
noon meeting had about fifty in at
tendance, quite number Of whom
are actively interested in farming and
who showed an enthusiastic interest
in the organization Of 10 county in
stitute. Mr.. Miller, who has charge
Of the Kansas Farmers Institute
work, was here from the State Agri-
cultural college and Mr.. Cole. from
the q. s. Department Of Agricultural
and who is familiar with the govern
ment experiments at the different t
stations and both made interesting
talks.
The organization was effected with
,,jhe following officers: @. A. Milton,
president; F. A. Etrick, secretary
and treasurer and vice presidents
from different parts Of the county as
follows: Frank Bailey, Bucklin;
A. J. Incl, SpearYille; Mic May
rath, Fairview; J. s. Potts, Enter
prize; G.. J. Stouth, Richland; D. g.
Moore, Dodge; J. B. Bailey, Con
cord; Webb Snyder. Royal; J. E.

DR.. Milton was selected as the first
president, as a man who has always
taken great interest in agriculture
and fruit raising in Ford county and
one who will be enthusiastic in get
the farmers Of the county brought

vitality Interested.

Except where the cotton is stopped
on the original billing for compress.
ing while enroute to an interstate
point, the outside commercial world
cares little what the rate might be
on an uncompressed bale. But it is
vitality interested in the rates on COM
pressed cotton, especially where it is
so constituted as to change the desti-
nation.
1t is argued that the effect of the
new rate schedule will be to throw
practically all the Mississippi crop
of more than a million and one-half
bales through Gulfport, whereas in
the past it has gone to New Orleans,
Memphis, Mobile, Fall River, Boston
and New York
Gulfport does not object to this, MOI
does Hattiesburg. Even Mississippi
as whole has no objection to the
building up Of her principal port, al
though most of the towns in the state
object seriously to the PRONUNCIATION
of the uncompressed cotton rates
and the river towns would undoubted
ly suffer for the benefit of the Gull
Coast, on either schedule, in the even
the commerce is diverted as i:
