Dodge Clty Tenor Will rake LeadlDg
Part in RObyn's New Opera, To
he Put On In Chicago Soon.
Johnny Powers, the Dodge City
tenor. who went to st. Louis several
months ago to be finished down into
professional singer, will soou make
his appearance in Chicago ~ the
leading man in Mr.. Robyn's new
opera "The Western Girl" Mr..
Robyn, the noted composer, has been
personally coaching Mr.. Powers for
the part, and he gives it az his opin-
ion that Johnny has a good chance Of
becoming one Of the worlds great
tenors.
Dodge City is interested in Mr..
Powers success, and has faith in him.
Mr.. J. D. Coffey, Santa Fe train
master Of the division from here east,
had much to do With Mr.. Powers de-
Gliding his present undertaking.
While Mr.. Coftey admits that he
knows more about the 6ne points Of a
railroad engine whistle than he does
about singing, he is q lover Of good
music, and knows when he hears q
rssl singer. He did much to en-
Q ,urage Mr.. Powers in taking up
singing as profession.
The power and range Of Mr.. Pow
ers' voice is wonderful, 90 much so
that when he went to 81. Louis q year
ago and "tried out" before some ol
the big men, it was made plain to
him that il he could get his remark.
able voice under control his fortune
would be made as a singer. After
returning to this place he was coach
ed for some time by Mrs. Bella Nc
Leod Smith Of Dodge City. Mr.
Robyn has said that Mr.. Powers &C.
complished as much in seven month";
: with Mrs. Smith, as many singers DE-
in three years with very competent
} teachers. Mr.. Powers tells hi
: friends that he has found out tha
Mrs. Smith is remarkable woman
and vocal teacher Of great ability,
and that her methods are precisel!
like those Of Mr.. Robyn.
Itis really believed that Mr.. Pow
ers' success will be something sensa
tjonal, and his friends here will awai
! the test with much interest.

Whitaker-Glessner company today
announced its determination to keep
closed for week its Laughlin sheet

Two Applicants Appeal
From Decision.
DECISION NOT ANNOUNCED
Grades in Other Branches
Were High.
After Carefully Going Over the Man
rscripts of II. E. BOIander and w.
f.. Carmine the Board Wul An
nounce its Decision.

The board of city school examiners
composed of T. C. Bowen John II.
Clark and w, A. Longbon, held
meeting Tuesday evening at the re-
quest of II. Il. Boander and ~ IL.
Carmine, two applicants for certifi-
Gates to teach in the city schools who
failed in the branches upon which Mr..
Longbon examines applicants. The
laws provide that where an applicant
who has failed Is not satisfied
with the result he may require the
whole board to canvass his manu-
scripts and 1t was upon this that the
request was made by the two gentle
men.
Mr.. Longbon is the examiner in
literature and historyl In literature
Mr.. Bolander received a grade of 6S
and in history a grade of %. MT.
Carmne was given grade of GO in
each branch.
In the branches upon which Mr..
Bowen and Mr.. Clark examine, MT.
lBolander received an average grade of
a fraction over 90 and Mr.. Carmine's
average was fraction better than
80.
These gentlemen could not under
stand why ii was that they had not
received better grades in the branches
upon which Mr.. Longbon examines
Both Mr. Bolander and Mr.. Carmine
hold long time certificates in the coun-
ty and Mr.. Bolander holds three
years High school certificate.
1t has been intimated that the fact
that these two applicants who 1t was
understood were to be employed as
principals of the grade buildings. fall
ed because Mr.. Longbon was an APP
plicant for the position of CONNER
cial teacher in the High school and
was not successful. Mr.. Longbon was
also an applicant for one of the
principalships, but withdrew because
the salary promised was insufficient.
The members of the boarS of ex-
aminers would not state what action
was taken by the board last evening.
but stated that the manuscripts would
be thoroughly canvassed and the de-
csion wound probably be announced
Thursday evening.
A class OF twenty-eight applicants
took the examination recently and out
of the number, two failed to reach the
required grade and eighteen of the
were failed by Mr. Longbon
in the branches In which he examines.
1t Is rumored that others who were
will ask the board to re-
view their manuscripts.

He had not much else. The market
has been going slowly backward for
many weeks but recently business has
been so poor there and so little II

Decision vitality Important.

washington. - The interstate com.
merce commission have blocked
the attempt of fourteen railroad
lines to resume advance of rates
between the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, rivers, which had already
been condemned, by a suspension or
der in what is known as the Burnham-
Hanna-Munger case of Kansas City,
Mo. tfs
The decision will be of vital i'm
p%ortance as q precedent as to rate
making by basic points. The COM
mission ordered the class rates on
shipments moving from points east
Of st. Louis to Kansas City and be-
yond. The principle involved is that
rates from the east to Kansas City
should be lower than the aggregate
Of rates from the east to st. Louis
and st. Louis to Kansas City.
Railroads appealed to the courts
and the Supreme court Of the United
States sustained the commission. Re-
Gently the roads gave notice of the
contemplated restoration Of the old
rates. The roads which fled these
schedules include the Atchison, To.
