Lewis & Clark's great western show.
The Cattle King, is in keeping with
the high order of all of Lewis &
Clark's productions, In this small
space it is impossible to give a correct
outline of all the scenery. The scenic
work is from the studio Of Messrs.

The Academy of Music and the Grand

isfy the most exacting that Lewis s.
Clark will offer only the best money
can buy for their patrons pleasure.

Police Methods In Berlin.

Berlin is the most strictly governed
city In the world. aud a stranger will
be continually violating the ordinances
and regulations without being con
scious Of his ofenses. But the penal
ties are not severe. and the policeman
who arrests you is prepared TO inn
pose the fine on the spot instead OF
calling a patrol wagon and taking you
to the police station. You pay him a
few marks. for which he gives you a
receipts and within t%wenty-four hours
you must appear before the captain
in charge Of that precinct and turn
in the receipt as a check upon the pO-
liceman who has arrested you.

BUTTER IS CENTS THERE.
Kansas City Creamery Article Com
mands a Hiah Price.

Chicago, Dec. AT the butter and
eggs board here good natured derision
greeted the report that rural femi-
ninity this season was less eager than
ever to get the Christmas money. AL.
though it was admitted by Sec. A. w.
Hale that the price of butter was Z
cents higher here than at the CORE
spending time year ago the fact was
pointed out that last years figures
were an exception and that quotations
twelve months farther back were
about the same as now. The drop in
prices last year. 1t was alleged, was
because an actively aroused public
sentiment against high prices gener-
ally had resulted in a largely de-
creased consumption of butter On the
other hand, natural habits have since
had time to take control, and today
the people are again eating butter in
plenty. That womankind in the coun.
try was each year increasingly sue
cessful in taking life more easy was
not denied, but the idea was smiled at
that market conditions this season
had been revolutionized by a change
in the holiday outlook of the human
element at the churn.
