there was something wrong if you
didn't change in that much and would
put Floyd wise. All you will have to
do is to play the first deal carefully.

A wish to get even, coupled with
cupidity, made Maj. Skinner an easy
victim to the Turing proposition of the
seemingly honest and persuasive Gle
land. 1t was arranged that the play
should be made that afternoon. The
major procured the necessary money
from the bank and once more sur
prised the few players at the bank
when he entered and called for five
stacks of chips at $4,000 a stack. He
followed the instructions of ClelanH
to the letter. The first three cardi
out of the box on the first deal were
king, eight, seven. He played with
care and caution through that deal and
the next with about even luck. When
it came time to make the final coup
he remembered that he was to copper
the seven. play the eight to win and
call the turn seven-eight, according
to Cleland's instruction. So far he
was 81 1000 winner and without a mo,
ment's hesitation he placed $4,000 on
the seven coppered to lose. A like
amount was placed upon the eight tc
win. The odds against the call was
: four to one and he called the turn FOL
IS. 900, confident that he was about tc
win a small fortune.

AMUSEMENT NOTES


WliilAm Walief.
On next Monday evening, October H.
at the opera house, theatre goers Of
this city VIII have an opportunity to
see the dramatization Of Harold Nc.
Grath's popular novel, "The Man on the
Box" which was made for Henry +.
Dixey, and IN which be starred for two
very successful seasons.
The cast Of the special company pre-
senting the play here is headed by vii
mer Walter. young American actor
who has been connected with several
broadway productions in past seasons,
and he and his supporting company play
the comedy with just the right proper
ton Of exaggeration and elegance to
make m evenings entertainment Of de-
licious foolery. Under their touch It
seems the most natural thing in the
world for a perfectly sane young gen
tlemau to attempt a practical joke by
playing coachman and TO bring up in
the police court because he had mounted
the wrong box; and quite the natural
consequence for the Young lady to the
box 81 whose carriage he had mounted,
To pay his fine and to hire him for the
coachman he pretends 10 be, that she
may find out at her leisure who he real
~ Isl So they beguile us step BY step
into believing in their escapades And
al because they play the comedy ma
turally and viyaciously and even with
elegance They act as men and women
are supposed 70 acti they point their
satiricai comicalities guilessiy uncon-
scious Of them
The play will be presented with spec
ial settings, with no detail Of stage pro-
duction sighted, and the presentation
is truly one Of the theatrical events Of
the season.

AND NOW THE HORSES.
Their Drinking Troughs Are to Be
Protected From Germs.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Pub1ic watering
/ troughs for horses were condemned by
the state veterinarian of Missouri, DR..
F. D. Luckey, and by Dr. Schoenleben
of Kansas at yesterdays session of the
Interstate Association of Livestock
Sanitary boards.
Mr.. Schoenleben read a paper on
CHAMBERS, in which. after detailing meth
obs of control and of diagnosis of that
scourage of horses, he attacked the
public watering trough as the great
cisseminator of the disease. He also
asserted that CHAMBERS is communicate
able from horses to men and is a fatal
disease to human beings.
DR.. J. NJ. Wright, state veterinarian
OF Illinois, differed concerning public
watering trough.
He asserted the public watering
trough was public necessity and, il
an evil, necessary one. 1t was in no
way a spreader of disease, he said. If
tie water in 1t were kept running
DR.. Ward, of Minneapolis, answered
Dr. wright in series of statements
condemning the public trough
DR.. Iuckey delivered the closing
words On the subject In Massachus-
etts, he said, the public watering trough
was responsible for the infection of
CHAMBERS upon horse to the extent of
thousand head annually
DR.. Luckey supported his argument
with statistics of different states and
with other evidences in opposition to
the assertions OF DR.. Wright that run
ming water diSinfected a trough
