Boy Fatally Hurt.

While driving a spirited horse
around Manchester Friday evening,
Daniel, the "A year old son of Gus
Barnd, the contractor, was thrown
from the cutter, striking his head
on a telephone pole and inflicting
probably fatal injuries.
Young Barnd in the company of
Wayne Smith and one other boy
whose identity has not yet been
learned, were driving the greater
part of the evening, they taking sew
eral other young people for short
drives in the sleigh. About 9 o'clock
the horse became frightened and
started to run. The cutter was ov-
erturned, throwing all the boys out,
Barnd's head striking the telephone
pole. He was rendered unconscious.
Doctors were called and found that
the boys skull was fractured. He
had not regainod consciousness at
late hour Saturday. No hope is
given for his recovery. The other
boys escaped without injury.

''BEST EVER" IN KANSAS CITY.
What Critics of Kansas City Post
Says of '.NIiss Nobody From
Starland."

Miss Nobody from Starland" is
at the Grand this week. 1t is me-
lodious, funny, surprising, original.
Those four words describe in the
shortest way what could otherwise
be described in columns the best
show of its kind seen in Kansas City
show with the jokes and lines re-
vamped." 1t is original, overlooking
with laugh producing lines and sit
uations-real comedy that brings
spasms of laughter whether the
"laughee" is a dyspeptic or not.
Miss Nobody is chorus girl, pos
ing as a widow, and sought by two
"oid skates" fiirted with by the
son of one, and leading them all on
by the most stupendous system of
fabrications imaginable.
The first act shows the deck of an
ocean liner nearing New York har-
Dor. Miss Nobody is winding up her
fiirtations, an egotistical detective is
hunting smuggler,. has the wrong
man and picks as his man" the
flirting son of the old hair restorer
manufacturer, formerly a drug clerk
who thinks he has given the wrong
medicine and murdered a man, and
there is general rumpus on board
the ship.
But the second act is even better
than the first. Here is the surprise
for the audience. The curtain rises
on a bare stage, showing a rehear-
sal. The trials and tribulations Of
the play producer are uproarious.
chorus girls and men arrive late
and are called down, the property
man is minus part of his props"
the stars are unprepared, the lead
ing man is intoxicated and SUBJ
stitute doesn't know the part, and
the producer tears his hair.
The second scene gives another
surprise. A curtain at the back of
the stage shows another audience,
making the real audience seem to be
behind the footlights. The first
night performance is given and is
miserable failure" nobody know
ing his part, the property man blow
ing up at the wrong time. and finally
the curtain having to be wrung
down when the rain" fails to ar
rive.
The third scene of the second act
opens on cafe, where the fun is
continued.
Olive Vail, as Miss Nobody, is
pretty, a good singer, and cute fiirt.
She makes a big hit in all of her
songs. Lawrence Conner, as Halli-
day, the hair dope manufactures,
and later as the producer, is fine.
In his first character he is good,
and in his second he is better, just
like the 0producer up against 1t for
getting things right. st
Otto Koerner as Pierce, the ego
tistical detective, and later as the
comedian of the show, is fat, good
natured and funny. Ralph Riggs,
as Preston, old Halliday's son, and
very much of fiirt, furnishes pleas
ing comedy throughout the show.
Katherine Witchie, cute little dark
haired girl, takes the part of Halli-
days daughter. BERTHE Beaumont.
as Nina, the Italian girl, does good
character work, and makes big hit
with her songs and dances. Others
in the company are good.
The music is Joe Towards. Why
say more? The lines are by Hough
and Adams. That also insures the
best. The company will play at the
Grand Friday, Feb. Sd.

DEMOCRATS STEER
/. CLEAR OF DANGERS
Leaders in House Playing Game With Skill and Rapdity
That Brings Gloom to Republicans Setting Out
i to Do What Public Wants.
BY John sNuRE.

House Democratic leaders are playing
the political game these days with q
rapidity and skill that is causing deep
feeling of anxiety among Republicans,
True, a good many Of the Republicans
in Congress show no signs of realizing
what is happening or OF understanding
the effect on the country of the carry
ing out of the program the House Dem
ocratic leaders are trying to carry out.
But the more progressive and broad
gauged Republicsns-the more far-sight-
ed OF them-do understand the situation,
and they do not conceal their worriment
over 1t.
The Democratic leaders in the House,
up to this time, have shown capacity,
that was not generally expected, to deal
with legislation in a way to give salts
faction to the country. They have sur
prised their Republican colleagues by
their manner of taking hold Of things.
The recent decision OF the Democratic
caucuE to push reciprocity through
ahead Of other tariff legislation Is un-
doubtedly a move that will be popular
with the country and is shrewd and
sagacious. 1t has a bearing on the
tariff situation that is as yet but dimly
comprehended in most quarters.
The decision 10 reduce the duties on a
long list OF necessaries of life, and the
plan to take up such schedules as the
wooden schedule and the cotton sched-
ule, which will undoubtedly be carried
out, though not yet formally decided on,
will unuuestionably have the approval
of the country at large.
Anyone who studies the results Of the
last elections must come to the con-
clusion that the Demo Gratis are setting
out to do the things the public wants:
The responses President Taft has mad
to the Canadian reciprocity agreement
are a clear indication of the popularity
OF this measure. The clamor against
the high cost of living and the feeling
ules, when called to mind, make 1t plain
that the Democrats are trying to do the
things that will mean votes in 1872.
On the other hand, the question arises:
What are the Republicans in Congress
doing to counteract in the 1912 campaign
the effect Of the swift politics the DEM
ocrats are playing?
So far as the regular Republicans in
House and Senate are concerned, there
is as yet no indication that they are
going to do anything adequate to meet
the situation. On the contrary, they
are apparently intent on pursuing OBJ
the House. In the Senate, where the
regular Republicans are in the large
ma ajority on the Republican side. the
appears to be to yield moth
ing on the tariff that Is not compulsory.
This Is shown by the determination of
the regular Republican leaders In the
Senate to insist on keeping control Of
the Finance Committee and to bring in
a high tariff measure. On campaign

one can gather among House Republi-
cans nowadays without the least
trouble.
The probability is that IL the former
Speaker doesn't cut 1t out he will find

tlves bearing down on his doorway In
| short time armed. not with messages
of peace, but with stuffed clubs.
The House and Senate progressive
Republicans are themselves being put
in a difficult position by the DISPOSE
adopt a wise political course. What
will the progressives do about It? They
admit they are in danger OF being lost
sight Of. What they will do, however,
is to adopt a vigorous progressive
course and make themselves felt In the
direction of progressivism on every i'm
portant piece of legislation that comes
up. Because Leader Mann has given
the insurgents good committee places,
It does not follow the insurgents are
going to follow Mann into the regular
Republican camp.
In the Senate. the progressives are in
a better position, partly because they
hold the balance of power and partly
because the Senate Democrats are badly
split. Moreover, there Is some likeli-
hood the Bailey Democrats will more
or less block the program Of the House
Democratic leaders. But, at best, II is
hard situat ton for the progressives.
That the Democrats. II they keep to a
wise course are going to sweep the
country in 1912 is the gloomy view of a
large share of the Republicans at the
Capitol.
The predictions in Republican quar-
tiers as to President Taft's reelection
are dubious to an almost unbelievable
degree. 1t is difficult to see that a
of the Republican leaders In Congress
will have any effect but to help the
Democrats.
As to constructive program the
progressive Republicans alone are show
ing any signs of entertaining any, so
far as concerned the Republican ele-
ment in Congress. The whole situation
makes 1t seem more and more like easy
sailing for the Democrats.

CHICAGO PACKERS
ARGUE DEMURRERS
IN FEDERAL CASES
Contend That Antitrust Act
Does Not Create Any
Crime.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April l3.-Delnurrers II
the Governments case against the ter
Chicago meat packers charged in three
Federal indictments with violation oi
the Sherman antitrust law and with
conspiracy in restraint of trade, came
up for argument today before United
States District Judge George A. Car.
penter. In their demurrer the packers
contend that the antitrust act of 1890
under which all monopoly quits are
brought in the United States, does not
create any crime
The basis for this contention is that
the statute does not define any offense
against the United States with sufficient
certainty to inform the defendants of
the nature of the crime or offense with
which they are charged, and the same,
in so far as it undertakes to create a
crime, is invalid, void, and contrary to
the United States Constitution" The
demurrer also contends that the de-
scription Of the offense contained in
this action, on which the indictment is
based, is not one by which the defend
ants were or are able to know, in ad-
vance, whether the acts were criminal
or not" The indictments also are at
tackled as Of faulty preparation.
1t appears to be the general belief
that the counsel for the packers have
exhausted every resource known to the
law in the eight years fight to escape
trial, and that unless unforeseen compli-
cations arise the indicted members Of
the so-called Beef trust will be called
to the bar within the next few weeks.
Prosecutors for the Department of
Justice and the great corps of attorneys
for the defense are planning the great
est legal battle ever waged in a Federal
court From the standpoint of the De-
partment of Justice the case will break
all records in volume Of testimony. AL
ready more than 100 witnesses have
been subpoenaed.
The majority of witnesses to be called
are retail and wholesale meat dealers,
former officials of Chicago packing
companies. and out-of-town packers,
Many already have given evidence be-
fore the Federal grand jury which re-
turned the true bills
The $15,OOO,O00 corporation, known as
the National Packing Company, will
bear the brunt of the attack On the part
of the Government. 1t is alleged to be
the holding company for the various
packing concerns of Chicago.
