Lakota, May '10.-When Hon. Will

route from Cando where he was
scheduled to deliver a lecture, he
was engaged In removing what ex-
traneous matter that had gathered
on his facial epidermis while coming
from Cando. He was under the
knife, or just about to be, and his
face was nicely lathered for the pro-
cess of removing the whiskers in or
der that he might be in presentable
shape for Grand. Forks. Some one
on the platform learned that Mr..
Bryan was on the train and it did
not take long for crowd to gather
and demand a speech. Mr.. Bryan
was tempted and appeared on the
platform with the soap suds well dis
tributed over his facial map. He was
not. at all embarrassed, in fact the
words slipped out easier that ever
before and the novelty Of the affair
was worth several thousand dollars

RECULATING THE STAGE.

A few months ago several New
York magazines started in to reform
the stage. The editors seemed to
have gone to see all the bad shows
and felt 1t their duty to keep every
body else from doing so. So they
wrote up the plays and told all about
them, describing several of them as
the very worst things that ever APP
peared on the stage. The horrible
details we're given and the names
Of the plays were printed. This was
taken as a great reform movement
that would in the end wipe the afore-
said plays off the earth. The chief
offender Of this class Of plays was
1.-THE Blue Mouse" according to the
censors Of the stage and It was with
considerable interest that the effect
on the public was watched.
This year several companies were
sent out presenting the play and one
of them came to Kansas. Instead
Of the public staying away from 1t

other play that has we'll advertised
notoriety. The audience here last
night was as representative and as
large as for any attraction in many
months. That is, the advertising, re-
ceived by the play was not deterrent
to the public and 1t went to the
play perhaps more freely than 1t
would have done If the magazines
had not been SO vigorous in their
denunciation.
To be sure, the version seen here
was a dehorned and denatured edition
but the audience could not know that
until the curtain was up. The New
York production had several things
in It that would have called out the
night watch and undersheriff last
night, but that did not change the
advance seat sale. The point Is that
It is very difficult to regulate the
play going public. Two years ago
one Of the preachers Of the city gave
some very severe sermons on the thea
ire and attacked the local manage
ment and the plays but 1t had no
effect on the audiences. The desire
for amusement is so strongly seated
in the American people that 1t Is
not easy to control and regulate It.
There will be fashions Of problem
plays and skirtless plays and risune
plays until the end Of time and each
will run its course and pass away
the magazines to the contrary not
withstanding.

Therefore, they said, the indictment

AUsTRIA's WAR ON SNAKES
New Additions to the Empire Is Badly
overrun with Rep
tiles.

Austria's new territory is undesir-
ably rich in snakes, mostly of the
poisonous varieties, and the govern
ment is taking vigorous measures to
exterminate them.
In the ten years from 1896 to 1905
the average yearly death roll from
snake bites in Bosnia and Herzegovina
was 10 persons, and 1888 head of cat
tie, horses and domestic animals Be-
sides this, hundreds of persons were
bitten by snakes, but recovered.
Since 1906 the provincial authorities
have given money premiums for the
killing of snakes. In that year 3O,056
dead snakes were brought in, of which
25,438 were poisonous. Next year,
when the official reward system be-
came more generally known, these fig
ures increased enormously, no fewer
than 280,718 snakes being killed, in
Guiding 271, 685 poisonous.
Last years figures were very nearly
the same, and it will be some years
before the work of determination can
be anything like completed But at the
same time the number of persons re-
ported bitten by poisonous snakes
seems to be steadily decreasing-206
in 1907 and 140 last year.

This is an expanse of lawns, with
granite walks crossing at even angles

The central court, around which the

of the gardeners art. The central
