Edward II. Donnellys Success In a
Summer Theatrical Engagement

The many friends of Edward II.
Donnelly, a former well known Ben
ningtonian, will be pleased to learn
of the remarkable success attending
his histrlonic career. Mr. Donnelly is
now with the Coburn Players, a COM
pany which travels throughout the
country presenting, out of doors, most
ly on college greens or those of coun-
try clubs, the plays of Shakespeare.
It is strictly high class band OF
players and has been we'll received
wherever it has shown.
The Coburn company presented
Shakespeare's much Ado About
Nothing" in Chicago recently and
James ODonnell Bennett of the Chi
cago Record-Herald one of the fore
most dramatic critics of the country,
in commenting on Mr.. Donnelly's act
ing said. "Mr. Donnelly's sketch of
the bastard delighted this writer. II
was no ornate presentation of the
conventional villain in play, which,
after all, is about all John really is
but gravely composed and powerful
~ projected study OF venomous and
disseminated being. the bearing pre-
occupied but stately, the utterance
rational but curiously laden with bale.
fulness and the severe, pale makeup,
thoroughly right and startling In
general comment on the play the
same writer said: There was not
great nor even n brilliant moment
anywhere-with the exception OF a
touch or two In the Don John Of Mr..
Donnelly."
When criticising "The Canterbury
Pilgrims" this same critic paid the
following glowing tribute to Mr.. Don
nelly: 1T will be long time before
we hear anything on the local stage
more splendid than Edward Don
nelly's reading Of the speech Of the
messenger in the Electra"
Mr. Donnelly began his career at
the Old Museum in Boston. He has
played some of the leading plays with
the original companies having been
with Mrs Fiske, James X. Hackett
and other prominent stars. For the
past three seasons he has been with
the William H. Crane company In
which his character work has won
lh,m much favorable comment.

fought against 1t long time, and
have been enjoying special dispense
tons while trying to prove that they

of a mathematical study and they are
beginning to realize 1t and to become
reconciled to the situation.

grain products and lumber and lum-
Der products will expire and it will

fcient reason for extending the per.
iod, differentiating in favor Of New

MUST INCREASE PRODUCTION.

President Finley, OF the Southern Rail-
way, Nrges More Intensive Farming
Methods.
Atlanta, Ga. May 21.-President Fin
ley, of the Southern Railway Company
has pointed out that, if the South is
to preserve the great economic ad-
vantage which it enjoys i'm having a
substantial monopoly in the produc-
ton of the cotton supply of the world
Southern cotton growers must in
crease their production so as to keep
pace with the constantly growing de-
mand. He is strongly of the opinion
that this can be done most profitably
by increasing the average production
per acre
Figures just made public by the
United States Agricultural department
giving the average yield per acre for
the crop of 1910, indicate that the cot
ton growers of the Southeastern
States are making substantial pro
gress in the direction of obtaining in
creased yields. These figures show a
larger average yield per acre than in
1909 for each Southeastern State eX-
cept Georgia and Florida, the yield in
Florida having been the same as in
1909, and that in Georgia having shown

THOUSANDS HEAR HIM.
Colonel Roosevelt Draws Old Time
Audiences at Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 22.-Unmis-
takably enthusiastic was the reception
given Colonel Theodore Roosevelt dur
ing the first of his two days stay in
Los Angeles. Cheering crowds greeted
the colonel upon his arrival at the rail-
road station in the morning and they
continued to voice their approval Of
him wherever he appeared, on the
street or elsewhere. 1t was said by
those who travelled with him on the
train across the continent to have been
by far the most enthusiastic reception
o. the journey.
During the day the colonel delivered
two set speeches before large audiences,
made an hours informal talk at a
luncheon in his honor and last night
addressed an assemblage in Pasadena
on the subject of his experiences in
Africa.
The first address was at the Young

the field occupied by the Y. NJ. c. A. i'll

At the luncheon given the colonel by
f. T. Earl, the Los Angeles publisher,

private function. Among the guests
was Francis j. Heney-
During his extended informal talk at
this luncheon Colonel Roosevelt is un-
derstood to have discussed many inn
portant topics in a very frank manner.
He paid a high compliment to Francis
J. Heney.
Colonel Roosevelt's second address of
the day was delivered at Temple audi
forum where he spoke for three-Quar-
tiers of an hour to the teachers and
pupils of the high school and upper
grammar grades. Upwards of 1000 per-
sons were assembled within the audi
forum while several thousand more

Colonel Roosevelt's talk to the teach
ers and pupils was largely lecture on
the meaning and effect of education. He
paid a high compliment to the profess
sion of teaching which he characterized
as the greatest of all professions.
In characteristic language he likewise
administered a rebuke to derelict par
ents who he said shirked their natural
responsibilities in the bringing up ~
their children by depositing them in
schools and paying no further attention
to them.
Following Colonel Roosevelt's address
at Temple auditorium he was taken by
automobile to Pasadena, where he was
the guest of honor at the dinner given
by Arthur Fleming.
Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel were
the guests at dinner in their honor
given by Mrs. James A. Garfield widow
of the martyred president, at her pic

A circular letter addressed to the
press by the committee says:
MANY of these works of fiction are
not indecent in the ordinary sense of
the word, but their whole line has a
tendency debasing and demoralizing.
In them open vice and RIGHTEOUSNESS
is palliated and even justified. To ap-
peal to the authors and publishers of
these books seems of little use and the
law requires strengthening before
their circulation can be stopped"
Meanwhile parents and school

of boys and girls are entrusted are
asked to set their faces against the
circulation of such novels and expose
their character when cit can not be

HASN'T NAMED THE JUDGES.
Governor Stubs Still Has Wichita
Wrangle on His Hands.

Governor Stubs has two new district
JUDGES to appoint. Geo. H. Whitconb
viii be named for the new division of
the district court for Shawnee county.
Ihere Is quite contest for the job in
Sedgwick county When the bill was
introduced 1T was supposed that Cliff
Matson, representative from Sedgwick
ana one of the Stubs supporters in the
legislature, would be named as judge.
But new section was slipped into the
law which prohibited the appointment
OF any member of the legislature to any
position created by the legislature of
which he was member. So Matson did
the next best thing. He pushed his law
partner. E. L. Foulks, into the game
and Foulks has been to see the governor
many times about the place.
The other two candidates are H. =
Sluss and w. P. Campbell, CTiger Bid.
The three candidates were in to see tho
governor yesterday and a coincidence
developed while Judge Sluss and Tiger
Bill were in the governors office. Here
was new division of the district court
of Sedgwick county being created and
these two men were candidates for the
new judgeship. Forty years ago this
month Governor James M. Harvey had
to appoint a judge for the newly
created district court in Sedgwick coun
ty. w. P Campbell and H. G. Sluss,
then young lawyers at Wichita, want
ed the job. Both of them came to To-
peka on the same day to see the gov
ernor about the appointment.
