THE STAGE
IYcEuM.


When Hough and Adams and Joe
Howard get their heads together the
result Is almost certain to be something
worth while in the musical comedy
line, II the production is left 10 Mort
II. Singer. The Goddess Of Liberty"
one OF the latest results OF their COM
bined efforts, Is on view In the Ly-
ceum this week, having opened 10
good business, Sunday afternoon, and
while IL Is by no means the best
thing this clever trio has done IL
is good entertainment, for the most
part. The piece Is staged by Ned
Wayburn. and the work Of the chorus
training methods.
Tn introduction OF the song.
What's the Use OF Dreaming in
the first act, recalls some previous
triumphs of the Hough-Adams- How
ard combination. AS sung by Robert
III. Wilson, who, as Lord Jack Wyn-
gate, Ii one Of the central characters
In the piece, IL is well worth hearing
again, and a male chorus assists in
making a very pretty effect. The
song number that dominates The
Goddess of Liberty" however, and the
one that starts the whlstling In The
gallery, Is entitled, III All Moons
Were Honeymoons," sung by Miss
Violet Seaton. as Phyllis Crane, who
becomes Mrs. Jack Wyngate in the
third act.
But the number that drew the big
gest hand, Sunday, was "Oskee Wow
Wow" sung by bunch Of athletic
girls" headed by Miss Marie Norella.
Each OF the girls wore a pair of box
ing gloves and few OF them rough
ed 1t" bit when IL came to the
make-believe bout at the end of each
verse. The audience was insistent in
its demands for more OF this sort OF
thing and recalled the young "bruis-
ers" repeatedly.
A few more good voices in the
male contingent would improve The
Goddess OF Liberty" whole lot.
There Is no fault to find with the
music, and, scenically, the piece Is
most attractive. Especially note
worthy Is the setting OF the first scene
OF the second act, which shows a
bit of forest near a country estate.
Here Jack and his sweetheart meet
under rather unusual circumstances
and in most unconventional attire. A
rain storm comes up while they are
engrossed in their lovemaking and
drives them both up a tree for shell
ter. And the rain" Is real water
too.

GOOD WORD FOR DYCHE.
Professor Makes Dignified Reply to
One of His Detractors.

Prof L. L. Dyche, the state fish
and game warden, has been subjected
to criticism and ridicule, and at times,
even to abuse, from papers and in
dividuals in regard to his work for
this state. The professor is compe-
tent to take care of himself in any
kind of a debate as the state senate
found out last winter. His work as a
naturalist ranks with that of any man
in these United States He is q gen
ius, as every person who has visited
the museum at the State university
and seen his work. knows full well.
The other day the Salina Union, ex-
Senator Burton's paper, took shot
at the professor and his work. Prof
Dyche read the article and then in
dicted a reply that for dignity and eff
fectiveness could hardly be surpassed.
Taking each charge separately, the
jokes and the serious part, the pro-
fessor handed in return neatly wrap
ped and stamped packages to the edi-
tor. OF course the carp came first.
The professor declared that the carp
was we'll able to take care of ITSELF
That it needed no protection, but had
in the face of strong opposition made
a place in all Kansas streams and
would likely remain until the end.
The skunk came next. According
to Prof. Dyche. the large skunk is a
harmless animal and its fur is most
valuable. being worth from $500 to
-0U. INC pEOitSSOI Qi0 11Ob WANT
this animal trapped out of season.
As for women wearing birds on
their hats. the professor reeited the
fact that no woman had ever been ar
rested in this state on this charge.
but that rather many women had
written him to cooperate with his eff
fort TO protect the birds from slaugh-
ter.
As for the English sparrows over
which the Salina Union was greatly
exercised. the professor declared that
they were still at the mercy of the
small boy and his % rifle and the
tom cat, the two most destructive
agencies in the state.
The turtle dove, said the professor.
is an innocent and valuable bird, and
during the passage OF the fish and
game law last winter no person came
forward to ask that the dove be class
ed as a game bird.
Thus treating all the jokes and ridi-
Guile about his efforts to do real good
for the state with dignity and making
his rebuke simple and kindly, but
none the less effective. the professor
unconsciously placed his work in a
different light. After all has been
said and done, and the jokers have
had their day, the fact remains that
Prof. Dyche is one of the most val
liable men Kansas ever had, and his
work will stand and be remembered
as long as the state.

Wall St. New York. Aug. 26.-STOCKS-
Weakness in stocks was shown at the
opening of the market with q number of
new low records. Canadian Pacific de-
clined 2. with 1 point losses in the Harri-
man stocks, 500 and American Smelling.
Other losses were almost equally substan-
tial. The dealings In United States Steel
which declined to yesterdays low point,
and Union Pacific which sold al 166, were
especially heavy.
Further declines soon after the open
ing were followed by the usual weak rally
but the movement was clearly indicative
Of recurrent liquidation. Overnight de-
velopment in which the threatened rail-
road strike was the serious factor were
mostly of discouraging character and
to this was added disappointing trade
conditions. Before II o'clock Union Pa
cific, Reading and Steel had recovered
much of their loss but elsewhere the list
dragged.
The market closed steady Trading fell
off in the last hour and the list for a
time showed no definite tendency. Before
the close Union Pacific. Southern Pacific
and Atchison fell off with resultant weak
ness elsewhere. Final dealings brought
recoveries and some prices were on a
parity with yesterdays close.

TRADE IS BETTER.
A General Improvement in Business
Throughout the Country.

New York, Aug. 26.-R. G. Dun &
Co. s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Further improvement appears in
many lines at Boston and conditions
generally are distinctly better than a
while ago. Dry goods dealers report
a fair volume of business in wash
goods and demand frmo retailers IS
steadily expanding. Textile conditions
are brighter and the outlook for cot
ton mills is more favorable. Trading
in wool is more active, with the mar
ket stronger Conservatism is stin a
prominent feature at Philadelphia, al
some departments. Dry goods are
quiet, but fall millinery sales are in
fair volume.
Not much doing in clothing and
shoes but demand for leather is mod
crate. Glazed kid is active. Sales of
wool are fair. while iron and steel
shows some improvement. Slowly in
creasing activity is reported at Pitts
burg and wholesalers receive a falr
volume of orders for fall and winter
goods, but merchants are still con-
sentative.
Wholesale trade is quite active at
Baltimore. In dry goods and notions
there is q fair amount of business and
clothing shows improvement, where as
the movement in footwear is some
what Disappointing Factories max
ing mems underwear, overalls and
work shirts are well supplied with or
ders- A heavy cotton crop is expected
to stimulate business materially al
Louisville, but current trade is gener-
ally quiet. A very large attendance OF
visiting buyers appear in the different
markets at st. Louis and their pur-
chases average we'll up to those of last
year, jobbers and manufacturers re-

lions. Clearance sales are the feature
at Kansas City and there is large

larger orders with iobbers than eX-
