POLI,S

When the entire cast of a company IS connpe1le1, by the plaudits of the audience, to appear before the cur tain and walk across the stage seven Or eight times at each performance it speaks volumes in praise for the com pany and this is just what happens twice daily at Polls this week at the close of the Gus Edwards School Boys and Girls act. It headlines the big bill this week and is justly entitled to that honor for there is fun galore, tunefuI singing, clever dancing and all else crowded into the half hour allotted the act and Edwards has picked company as youthful tas it is comedy. Lillian Come, the cutest little bit of vaudevulian one would want to see heads and dominates the act and con tributes a most delightful personality girls and four boys in the act and i'm cludeds in the male side will. be found the Gordon Brothers the dancing won ders for so long with Eddie Leonard the we'll known minstrel. At regular intervals during the offering one of the new Edwards song successes is deliv- cred in the typical Edwards way and there is rousing finish The Paper Hat Brigade

In place of Murray and Linn there will appear for the remain der of the week Otto Brothers the well known German comedians. Thruogh a similarity of names Murray and Linn appeared Monday rather than Murray and Lane. The showing Of the Murray and Linn act disclosed two reasons for it's closing one of which was that it was not of the PoT standard and the other that it had been previously offered on what is known as the picture house time'' which stamped it's quality.
 Seats for the entire week are now on sale and while the demand for seats is unusually heavy some good sreser- vations may be had for the end of the week performances.

There are two home owners who re- side in street near Beards1ey park who paid approximately the same for their building lots and the same for Second district line and the other is in the First district only The fellow in the first district only has every improvement his neighbor has and he pays less than half the amount of taxes. He has great deal of fun over the matter and asks the other taxpayer why he don't move over the line.

A West End woman has in her house what she calls singing mousse For long time she was attracted during the afternoon by a strange purring sound. One she saw a mouse gambo1- ing rs bout the carpet and the strange purring sound came from the direction of the little animal. The sides of it's cheeks seem to vibrate while the ami nal is making tine sound. The woman now feeds the animal and will not allow it to be trapped.

Corn Prospects.


Prospects for corn are good, with
the exception of central Kansas, west
ern Oklahoma, western Nebraska and
northern Iowa. East of the Mississip-
pi river the outlook is above the nor
NAL, and some sections with season
able weather from now on will have
one of the largest crops ever raised
These reports ara from the best in
formed people in the trade. Eastern
Kansas, good part of Nebraska and
parts of Iowa had rains Tuesday,
which partly relieved the drought. In
the eastern third of Kansas the crop
is fine, although the stand is short.
Central Kansas, with about 100000
acres, is burned in the southern half
and the balance is near the danger
line. Northern Kansas is fair to good
and western Kansas is normal. Ne.
brasKa south of the Platte river is
short, but other sections are good.
Iowa has the promise of as large a
crop as it ever raised, provided pres.
ent conditions are maintained. Mis-
souri, is good to fine. Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio have good prospects.

BIG DREADNAUGHT
GLIDES INTO WATER

NEW YORK, May 12.-Flying the
whiteN starred ensign of the United
States navy at her stem, the stars and
stripes at her stern and string of gay
signal pennants along the ESQ feet of
her deck line, the battleship Florida
the biggest of the American dread
naughts built thus far, was successfully
launced at the Brooklyn navy yard to-
dav in the presence Of the vice president
of the United States, the secretary of
the navy, and the naval attaches of all
the powers, and a crowd of $4,000 en-
thusiasts, whom lowering skies and IN
termittent rains had failed to keep
away.
AS the deviation got under way there
WAS an ominous creaking, the sliding
and permanent ways slowly drew apart,
and Miss Elizabeth Fleming, daughter
of a former governor Of Florida, sent
the christening champagne bottle crash
ing against the ships side.
The Florida hesitated moment, then
slowly and ponderousfy glided down the
WAYS with the voice of Miss Fleming
clearly calling out: Go, brave ship, 1
christen thee the Florida" The launch
ing was the most successful ever held
at the New York navy yard. The gil
gantic battleship slid down the ways
with the lightness of a life boat. AS
soon as she reached the water the cur
rent veered her lightly to the north and
she ended her course in the center of
the river where a dozen navy tugs at
once hemmd her on all sides, gradually
forcing her to her moortng near Cob
Dock.

ROOSEVELT IS HONORED 4
BY BERLIN UNIVERSITY
His Majesty, Emperor William,
Graced Conferment of De-
gree Upon American

BERLIN. May 12-Theodore Roosevelt,
former president of the United States. de-
livered lecture today on the topic, THE
World Movement" at the University of
Berlin and received from the university
the honorary degree of Doctor of Phil
osophy. Emperor William honored the
occasion with his presence
1t was the first time that his majesty
had graced a conferment, and the court
esy was significant in view of the fact
that the German court is in mourning
for the monarch's uncle, King Edward.
The ceremony OF comforting the de-
gree was staged and conducted with i'm
pressive simplicity. There were no flags
or emblems Of royalty and the govern
ment and the walls of the Aula were
bare but for the rows of busts of Ger
many's famous scholars and scientists.
The only touch of coler was furnished
by the senators of the university with
their robes of scarlet and blue and the
five heads of the student corps, who wore
blue Jackets, white breeches, jackboots
and particolored sashes.
FOUR HUNDRED GUESTS.
Four hundred guests of the university
who held cards of admission were seated
when Emperor William, accompanied by
Mr.. Roosevelt, entered from a side door.
AS they appeared. the university choir
chanted Hell Dir I'm Siegerkranz
CHail to the Conqueror's WREATH, the
Prussian national hymn, to the strains
of America" The two were followed
by Empress Auguste Victoria, Princess
Victoria Louise, Prince and Princess
Eitel Frederick, Princess Auguste VIII
helm, Prince ALBERT, Mrs. Roosevelt
Miss Roosevelt and Kermit Roosevelt.
This party took seats on the platform.
Mr. Roosevelt occupied the seat at
the reading desk, and at his side stood
the heads of the student corps with
drawn swords. This striking guard OF
honor remained standing and almost i'm
movable during the three hours of the
lecture.
Rector Erich Schmidt opened the pro-
gram by giving an outline of the life or
Mr.. Roosevelt from the time that he was
a delicate child until he became an Arr
can nimrod. Mr.. Roosevelt, his voice
husky at first, gained steadily In clear
ness as he proceeded and he was able
TO deliver his complete written thesis or
5000 words and to which he added ex-
temporous remarks from time to time.

Voice improved

Mr.. Roosevelt found his voice much
improved when he rose this morning and
said he felt perfectly able to deliver his
address as planned at the University of
Berlin. Until this morning there was
doubt whether the former president would
tie able to keep his engagement.
Word that Mr. Roosevelt would be heard
was communicated swiftly throughout
the country this forenoon, and when the
hour approached. he reached the univer-
sity. the historic Aula. was occupied
by a distinguished company. Emperor
william was present. The former presi-
dent received a gratifying reception.
The subject of the address was THE
