Another Solution
Has now Appeared

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S-These are
writer
If the flood of communications to
congressman protesting against any
increase in the postal rates on second
class matter should continue the
troublesome deficit of the postoffice
department might be wiped out with
out any special legislation. Every
member of the lower house is receiv-
ing from $50 to 800 letters a day from
constituents on this and other sub
jects now pending before congress.
Next in popularity with the cor
respondents after the postal question
comes the tax on Qleomargarine. Folks
in the dairy district are protesting
against repeating the tax, and letters
just as vehement from the south ask
that the tax be repealed. 1T is just as
good as butter wrote a man from
Texas to one congressman, and l pro-
test, sir against this class legislation
"Oleomargarine is a fraud read the
next letter the same congressman
opened, "and is a rank imitation OF
butter. Every dairyman in the Unit
ed States asks that the tax be retain
ed
Then comes the postal savings bank
proposition. Many letters objecting
to the bill are identical in wording and
even written on the same kind of pa
per, and the suspicion is strong that
they omanate from some particularly
interested financial quarter.
Repeal the corporation tax" de-
mand other letters received by the
score from all parts of the Union

more substance has been added. and
this in turn has lent weight to the
drama. built a stronger story for stage
purposes around each character and
assisted in developing to their fullest
extent all the dramatic qualities OF
the book. Bates, the silent, inscrutable
butler steps into the position of hero,
and though it is by no means easy to
make a hero of a valet, the dramatist
has succeeded admirably. Moreover the
of Bates is accomplished with
out detracting appreciably from the
of young Glenarm, the hero
of the novel, and in one sense still the
hero of the play But behind the foot
lights. Bates gets the prominence which
is really his due and which in the story
of Mr.. Nicholson allowed him by sug-
gestion rather than by emphasis. This
adjustment of the characters values is
less a liberty than a development of
the novels possibilities and not only
dc es il modify the story to any material
extent, but assists as a matter of fact
in making the stage version clearer
than it might otherwise have been and
the scenes and situations more effec-
tive and more plausible.

Ship subsidy, the making of Comman-
der Peary a rear admiral and the con-
servation of natural resources come in
for their share of epistolary attention.
Then there is womans' suffrage. The
suffragettes have a well organized lob
by here, and they have started flood
of letters toward Washington on the
endless chain plan. Mixed in with
these come letters asking for seeds.
"Impeach Judges Grosscup and Pol
lock-" is the text for others. Many of
the letters have come in response to
appeals to write to your congress
man at once" printed in the various
undertaking magazines

late typewriting perfectly, and form

various subjects.

AmuSenentS
"A Stubborn Cinderella"

There is an atmosphere of "class"
and indiscriminate charm in Mort. H.
Singers quality musical play, "a Stub
born Cinderella" which comes to the
Keylor Grand theater tonight for a
special engagement Messrs. Hough,
Adams and Howard have written a
very long list of successes, nameiy,
THE Goddess of Liberty THE Prince

tion," setc., etc, all of which have
been produced by Mr. Mort. H. Singer
in his Chicago theaters; but there is
born Cinderella" which lifts it into
a different and higher rank than any
of it's predecessors. 1t tells a fairy
story of a young college boy and a
young English noblewoman who fall
in love with each other at first sight,
and then proceed to carve out their
own happiness at the dictates of their
own hearts rather than obey the be-
hests of Madam Grundy or the young
lady's guardian. AS a corOllary to
their own affair, several of the young
chaps classmates also proceed to fall
in love with some of their charming
'co-eds," for the first act of this play
is laid on the campus of a college
where mostly all the principal male
characters are students. The large
cast is headed by that clever exponent
of hilarity Mr. Homer 3. Mason, and
the production staged by George
Marion, and thanks to his artistic edu-
cation and the ready check book of Mr.
Singer the managing director of the
Princess Amusement company there
has been provided not only gorgeous
and brilliant masses of harmonized col
or in the costumes and stage settings,
but it has been managed to run their
cost up to a point never before equalled
in a travelling theatrical production. To
TRANSPORT this stupendous attraction,
it is necessary to carry three special
ba Cgage cars and a working crew of
eight stage mechanics.

HOGS-ln point of improvement today's
hog trade was almost identical with that
OF yesterday. Prices advanced in both
divisions, the big end of moderate supply
moving at figures fully a dime higher De-
mand was active from all quarters, and
while shippers orders were not very large
very good clearing was made during
Early hours. Average cost of total pur-
Snases passed the $500 mark for the first
time in two weeks, but the scale OF prices
was very uneven, loads OF similar weight
and quality frequently selling a dime
apart
Heavy hogs claimed all of the average
advance as rule, good heavies ranging
from $3.50 TO $50. Medium weight mixed
of good quality moved around s. 20QDs Is and

on a Saturday, was bare or almost bare
OF supplies. The total for the week foots
up 1855 head, being falling off Of about
S,oOO head MS compared with last week, but
a gain OF over 1900 head as compared with
year ago.

week. The country has been a free buyer

added that the supply OF stockers and
