ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Grand.

Tomorrow afternoon and night 1.-THE
Lion and the Mouse Charles Kleins
best production will be seen at the
Grand. This we'll known play always
attracts attention and patronage and
doubtless will draw two good houses on
the engagement tomorrow. The scenic
effects and the supporting company
have been well provided for by Henry
strong one, having been carefully Sc
lected from a number of players who
have been seen in this production for
the past three seasons.
One of the best treats for Topeka in
the theatrical line, which still remains
on the local calendar is 1.-The Thief ;"
which will be seen at the Grand opera
house Monday night. This is the first
season of the production away from
cesses all over the country. Charles
Frohman has provided an. especially
strong cast for the Bernstein produc-
ton. The plot of the play is in itself
simple, but the movement and action of
the play is rapid and more is crowded
into three acts than is generally seen
In theatrical production.
At the Majestic.
The strong bill which has been pro-
vided for the Majestic this week will
close tomorrow night. The. bill COM
prises the following acts, every one a
strong one: Halliday & Curley, in the
military travesty. THE Battle of Too
Soon" Henry & Alice Carver, in an
equiibristic and sharpshooting act;
Emily Benner, lady baritone; Phil
Stats, pianologist and monologuist
Glenn Waggoner. illustrated song sing
er, and the Majestiscope.
At the Novelty.
Probably the most pretentious play
yet put on by the North Brothers
Stock company will be that of Sapho.
The st. Joseph Gazette says the follow
ing of North Brothers production of
Sapho:
Mabel Cullen surprised her admirers
by the strength of her acting in the
important title role. She was properly
happy in the earlier scenes and dis
played exceptional emotional ability

Jean is an excellent foil for her talents.

CONVICTED OF
 BLOWING A SAFE
Three Men. Two of Whom Broke Jail at Little Rock, Are Found Guilty of PostOffice Robbery at
 Huntington.

Fort Smith, July 1. Following the conviction of Bell, Patterson and Thompson, the young men charged with blowing the safe in the postoffice at Huntington last December, six of the witness es Tor tue defense, hotel keepers ot Tulsa, Okla, were arrested on the charge of perjury and placed in Jail in default of furnishing bonds iu tue sum of $2 ,0O0.
 The men arrested are Lon Am norman, K. N. Gillian, Ed Bow man, Walter Faucette, George Windle aud Eddy Lynn. In the trial Tulsa hotel registers were introduced showing that ihe three accused men had been in Tulsa on the night of the blowing of tue safe at Huntington. The prose cution made microscopic examl- nation of the registers to ascer- tam If they had been tanpered with, and the arrest of the ac- cased men followed.
 The sentences of Bell, Patter- son and Thompson were left to the judge, under the instructions given by him to the jury. Bell and patterson were in jail in Lit tie Rock for time aud Thomp- son was arrested at Fort Worth.
 While iu the federal quarters at the county jail here, Bell and Patterson engaged in plot to break jail. With some others they sawed through two locks and heavy iron bar, and Bell, tbe first ont. was climbing down blanket rope when Sheriff Rob- erts and a number of deputies who were waiting below forced him to climb back.
 Deputy Sheriff J. J. Hawkins, who has been Tn Fort Smith tes- lifying in the trial of the case, returned to Little Rock Tuesday night. He said the men denied everything, even the attempt 10 break jail here. The attempt to prove an alibi failed completely, he says, the State proving by a big preponderance of evidence that the men were in Huntington on the night of the postoffice bur- glary and satisfying the jury that they were responsible fol tue robbery and the blowing ol the sate.

He did not arrive on the scene, however, until after the couple had left for parts unKnown.

NO. 7 IN THE DITCH
 BELOW SHREVEPORT
Express Messenger 0. A. Mason Quite Badly Hurt and Several Others Are Slightly
 Injured.

The Kansas City Southern pas. senger train No. 2, due in Mena at l2:55 a. m was wrecked four teen miles south of Shreveport Thursday afternoon at 4:40.
 o. A. Mason, express messen- ger, whose home is at l20t Port Arthur avenue, this city, was in- jured. The reports regarding the nature ef Mir. Mason's iniur- ies were conflicting. The first message received at the railroad office stated that he had received bad scalp wound and legs crushed, Another report was to the effect that both legs were ken. Conductor J. J. Myers, who brought the train into Mena which was made up at Shreve- port to take the place of the wrecked train, talked with the doctor from the Shreveport hos pital where Mir. Mason was taken three hours after he was carried th,re. Mir. Myers was informed that Mir. Mason's injuries were not ser;ou' there were no broken bones but a possible fracture of the bone in one leg. ltls back was sprained and deep gnsh in the forehead. The patient was resting well.
 Or the others injured the negro porter had an arm bt okeu and the news agent an ugly scalp wound.
 Of the passengers many were shaken up and bruised but none so badly but that they continued their journey.
 The report is cnrrent that the wreck was caused by a broken rail. The train was travelling between 20 and 25 miles an hour when the wreck took place and everything except the engine and mall car left the track. The bag gage car and coaches went into the ditch and turned over. The Pullman left the track bu: re- mained upright.
 Nus. Mason and her sister, Ms. w + Bell, left on 3 Friday af- ternoon tor Shreveport to be with Mir. Mason.

WORK ON CAPITOL
 IS TO PROCEED
Governor Donaghey Says Will Be Ready. When Architect Gilbert Comes. to Start Con
 struction.

Little Rock, June 29.-Gover- nor Donaghey yesterday made ar raugemcuts for the repairing of the hoisting and other machinery at the new state capitol, prepara- tory to commencing active work. He stated that everything is be- ing put in readiness and that the beginning of.work now awaits the coming of Architect Cass Gilbert. Work on the capitol will not be impeded by any pending litiga- ton, he says, and will proceed, according to the present outlook, at least, without interruption. The governor was asked if the work had not been dropped until 1t could be ascertained what would be done in the mandamus suit. He stated that it had not, and that every step possible look ing toward the carrying on of work on the structure had been and is now beiug taken.
 "We are proceeding just as fast as we can," said the governor. 
 "You must understand that it takes time to organize work on such a building as this. Further activity now awaits the coming of the architect. As soon as he gets on the ground with his ex- perts and assistants we can begin work"
 It had been thought by some that should the maudamus case 20 over until fall, work on the capitol would have to be suspend ed until then, but the governor dismissed that idea yesterday. It is believed possible that Caldwell & Drake may seek to restrain the commission from carrying on work on the capitol, pending a decision of the maudamus case, but this is mere conjecture.

k. w. Cunning hams motor. propelled railroad tricycle., We'd ncsday while running at some thing like 40 miles an hour, par tially left the track near Hatfield aud shook up the passengers, Cunning ham and Jesse Cox, right thorougly. Neither were seriously hurt, however. When the acci- dent occurred it is said the ma chine was being driven at the rate of 40 miles an hour or better. Cox was sitting at the rear, while Cunningham handled the leavers. The rear wheel dropped to the ties, iolting Cox off. Power was shut off at once, and when Cum ningham looked around he found his passenger hanging on the framework and being dragged over the ties. As no damage was doue except a few bruises and scratches, the trip was resumed at once.
 MT. Cunningham has for some time been lineman for the Kansas City Southern. Hc has about 100 miles of line 10 care for, with headquarters in Mena. Formerly he pumped an old-fashioned railroad tricycle. over the grades by main force and muscle.
 Recently, however, K. w. got hold of a 6-horsepower gasoline moter, formerly used in an auto- mobile. He then proceeded to build for himself new tricycle. and attached the moter. He now covers his territory in ease and comfort, and at a speed d-that IS all that could be desired. He feels that he need have no fear If freight trains, as he can out run the best of them.

SALOONS 10 ARKANSAS
Whisky Sellers Are Moving Establish ments Across Line from
 Tennessee.

Little Rock, July l.-Tennes- sees loss is Arkansas gain in the liquor fight which has ended bl all intoxicating liquor bein E driven from Tennessee last night. All liquor licenses for the coming year were payable at he office of the international revenue collec tor here up to this morning and those who undertook to operate without them would have Uncle Sam to contend with, so the rush in that office yesterday was great. The feature of the closing day rush was the number of govern ment licenses paid to do business in Crittenden county. A former soloon keeper of Memphis took out SIX of these licenses in on, day. It is understood the saloon keepers who have been driven from that city will operate across the river in Arkansas, and for that reason the government li- censes were secured.

CORPORATION TAXES DUE
Last Day of Grace Has Now Expired and Penalties Attach-A
 Rush to Settle.

Little Rock, July l.-Today is the last day of grace with the corporations doing business in the State, so far as the payment of their annual franchise tax goes, unless they want to pay a penalty, tor after today the pen- alty for non payment attaches. The office of the secretary of state is a very busy place, and has been for several days, owing to the rush of corporations to get iu on the "last train"
 Yesterday 209 statements were filed in the office, the tax ranging from $l0to $lO0. The total re- ceipts for the day, were over $70OO. Today probably as much more will be received.
 As soon as practicable after the rush is over the corporation clerk will make up list of the compa- nies that have not paid their franchise tax, and if they do not respond within a reasonable time, with the penalty attached. their charters will be forfeited in Ar kansas. There are altogether about 6,O00 corporations in the state.
