Last week this county had ''Uncle
Toms Cabin" and it was a fraud in
he amusement line and hold-up in
price. They charged 90 cents admis-
sion and 25 cents extra for reserved
seats, while it was but ten cent show.
Thirty-one years ago Jack Downing, of
The Ellis County Star, moralizes thusly
on the circus: 'NThe summer is past
and we have had no circus. We often
think that the circus is immoral, and yet
when the bill poster comes along with
big pictures and we gaze at the lions,
tigers and monkeys and think that ma
ture made all of them, we are not sure.
And there we look at the young lady.
with nothing on but a blue ribbon
around her waist, with one leg point
to six o'clock and the other to high
noon, and think that nature made her
too, just as she was, except the ribbon,
we begin to lean up to the circus. But
when the brass bano begins to play and
the elephant goes around, we rush for
front seat to get ahead of the minis
ter, who always wears stove pipe hats
and won't sit down in front.

Monday night the opera house gave
two very exciting and wonderful
scenes that iaage audience enjoyed
One was one of the 60 mile an hour
automobile races in the east where
every moment killing or an accident
was expected: The other was the res
cue of child at the seashore, that the
tide had carried out to sea, the res
cuerer being woman swimmer whose
battling with the waves kept the audi
enca spellhound These pictures are
Instructive as they let our western
people see things heard of but impossi-
bic to realize and this is the beauty of
these moving picture shows nov so
popular, yet.so low priced, AL over the
land, that everyone can see and enjoy
They are al worth the little five or ten
cents they cost as educational as well
as amusing.

At the Council meeting Thursday
night they passed what is known as
the Search and Seisure liquor ordinance
and 1t goes into effect TO-DAY, and un-
der this ordinance the Marshal can
search any place that liqurr is kept for
sale and If any is found it can be seized
and the parties arrested. OF course
people can have their private bottle
box for their individual use the same
as usual, but it is told that some par
ties here get lots Of It and people buy
It there and these places will be watch
ed. There is no longer any place in
our city where any one has a u. S
Government license to-sell it, even the
drug stores have no right. So some of
these fellows who are getting it by the
keg, box or case will have to look out
tor trouble. If it is law let it be en-
forced and then Hays will be known as
4 good town to live in. Under this law
in many towns the Marshal seizes the
stuff when he sees it going from the
depot to the suspected house.
