I was standing outside of the big
Auditorium where the sMidwinter is
being held and admiring the electric
lights, but not telling very light heart
ed. For I was broke, and 1 had lost
my pass which was more than passing
interest to me.
However. it happened that a U. c.
T. passing that way, had compassion
upon me like the god Samaritan and
paid my way in and yea, gave me from
his purse wherewith to patronize the
concessions.
Upon entering the building, 1 pass
ed the stand where the ladies were
telling the passersby: Get your over
any place else to get stolen SO 1
checked my desire to economize-on
another's money-and had my over
coat checked. Then I turned to the
right and came across the suffragettes'
booth. Here the women got me into
such an argument that 1 became
warm. To refresh myself 1 drank a
glass of lemonade at the adjoining
stand. q don't mind being handed a
lemon when it's in liquid fornl.)
"Catecorned from the suffragettes
were the Perfectionettes with all kinds
of home made candies and Topeka
made cigars and other delicatessen
which was indeed very delicate and
frai1, but tasted good.

until 1 found myself before a candy
booth and before 1 knew it I was
plunged into society. In that booth
was Miss Dorothy Howell, Miss Esther

Freda Belts and Miss Lenora Stubs.
1 knew that / would sure get a square
deal, there. so bought and bought
until all of my donated money was
gone.
''After that a girl at one of the
'oive-away booths gave me a paper
pox and told me 1 could fill up on
samples of food, and 1 collected
enough of the same to do me for board

MODEST Ed HOWE
II Play Fails Atchison Man Will
Blame Himself.
Friend of Literary Lights Not
Expecting Failure.

Modest Ed Howe. The sage of
newspaper photographers won't blame
the company if The Story of a Coun-
try Town" isn't success as a drama.
Instead he'll blame the friend of Mark
Twain, William Dean Howells and a
score of other men of letters. That
friend is Ed Howe himself. Still, Ed
Howe hasn't the least thought that
1.-The story of Country Town will be
a failure. He is sure it will not.
Mr.. Howe came to Topeka this
morning and from 10 o'clock until
noon he was busy explaining in detail
cacies of the play, his idea of this or
that situation and the general motif
of the drama. Then the company had
luncheon and the first rehearsal began
at l o'clock.
on the train from Atchison, Mr..
Howe took particular notice of the
famous old mill dam at Valley Falls.
An idea gripped him. 1t was to en-
body into the scenery if his s"The

ton of the scene This idea Is to be
worked out along with some other
scenes that are expected to be unusual.
After Mr.. Howe had finished his
explanations to members of the cast,
he told of his ideas of scenic investi-
ture and of the costumes conside cred
self as feeling that if there should be
a failure of the drama, he alone would
be to blame.
Every member of the cast has the
particular physical requirement for
their part as 1 see it," said Mr. Howe
Miss Robinson is an ideal Agnes;
Sport North an ideal Big Adam

Howe, "as I wouldn't want my friends
to think I'd failed in my ambition af
ter all these years. Likewise, if 1 had
the least idea that The Story of a
Country Town wasn't going to be a
real hit from the first 1 wouldn't want
to take it into Atchison where I've
got lots of friends.

we go to Atchison, Miss Adelaide is
going to have the company out to din

be a genuine treat.

Attendance Bids Fair to Pass
High Water Mark.
Booths Attractive and Samples

Everybody and everybody's brother
will be at the Midwinter this week. The
vaudeville show is a good one without
stretching the point in the least. There
are clever feats of skill performed in
termixed with an excellent brand Of
comedy. ass

and proved a laugh provoker. A. tt
The Fassio troupe, the three meffl-
bers of which were reared on the sunny
slopes of northern Italy, waved
strong" to use a Biblical expression,
and at the Midwinter they do some re-
markable feats of hand balancing,
tumbling, etc. Angelo Fassio, man
ager of the trio, lifts his two associates
with one hand as easily as the ordinary
person can hoist aloft a twenty pouu.1
dumbbell. a. ssT~a
The fourth and last act is a triple
bar performance by the Eugene trio
which although last, is not least. In
this act clown keeps the crowd
"chortIing' with laughter. In fact all
four acts receive much applause.
1t has not been the local people only
who have attended the show. For ex-
ample in the guessing contest which
was carried on at the McEntire booth
names were written on cards by per-
sons from 40 different Kansas towns
and ten different states.
Another proof of the large attend
ances is the fact that the International
Correspondence schools representatives
have t.ven out nearly 10000 pieces OF
literature at their booth.
According to John c. Witt, secretary
of the show, the attendance to date has
run close to that of 1905 when the total
number of admission tickets put into
use were 40 900. Many editors of the
state have been shown the usual court
estes.
More than half of those who have
attended the show have taken guess
at the total attendance which viii
bring the lucky three prizes of $50
80 and $40 respectively.
One of the booths which is today
attracting much attention is the candy
booth presided over by some of the
pretty society girls of the city includ-
ing Miss Lenora Stubs. Miss Freda
Belts Miss Dorothy Howell, Miss
Esther Dolley and Miss Anaburr Rice
The young ladies seem to enjoy theiI
official duties immensely as they have
been showered with presents of roses
candies, and available soft drinks.

MORE TROUBLE WITH DIXIE.
Second Firm of Contractors Gives Up
the Contract.

More trouble has been confronted
in the securing of contractor for the
construction of the South side dixie
and a special meeting of the county
commissioners was called for this
evening.
Spencer & Keesee. the firm to which
Haskins & Ramsey had arranged to
assign their contract when they had
failed to get bond, have given up the
deal. Keesee, who is in i'll health,
refuses to have anything to do with
it, and the bonding company which
was to secure Spencer demanded such
extraordinary measures that Spencer
also quit.
The meeting this evening is held for
the purpose of making a decision
whether to advertise for new bids or
take that of Jones Brothers of Leav-
enworth, the next lowest bidders, but
$1,000 higher than the Haskins &
Ramsey bid.

thing like $4,000 when he stopped
work to await further action by the
board. 1t is not likely he will lose
anything except the idleness of his
equipment and loss of time.

destination. These expressmen, how

NOTES FROM SENATE.

The Stewart bill providing for a tax
on certain stock foods offered for sale
in this state, passed the senate this
morning, but not until Cambern. of
Neosho' had attached an amendment
which saves the scalp of a linSeed meal
plant at Fredonia. The Cambern
amendment exempts linseed meal ar
ticles and was vigorously opposed by
Stannard of Lyon, who declared the
tax was nominal and that the manu-
facturers would not suffer, but that the
cost would be paid by the farmers who
fed the products. He said the feeders
were willing to pay this extra cost in
order to provide for a competent in
spection of stock food products.
