ANSWERING A CAMPAIGN LIE
Politician Of Long Ago Was Resource
ful and Knew With Whom
He Had to Deal.

"A man was sent to Jail recently IN
England" said western senator In
Washington, for circulating a false
report that King George had contract
ed a morganatic marriage while he
was young sailor. stationed at Malta.
Since the morganatic marriage Is
one Of kings privileges. It II rather
surprising that King George. in prose-
cutting this case, holds that Il touches
his honor"
The senator smiled.
However" he continued, "ths king
evidently disapproves Of morganatic
unions as strongly as the political
supporters Of Adams disapproved OF
a royal marriage for their candidate.
"A western supporter Of Adams
complained to a friend that somebody
had been telling the voters that
Adams had married q daughter of
George Ill. an untruth which. he
averred. would lose Adams every vote
In the west.
IN that 10 the case said his
friends, why not contradict the yarn
at onceT
"'oh,' replied the partisan, that
would not be Of the slightest use; you
don't know these westerners. They
are pig-headed. They will believe any
thing and unbelleve nothing. No
we must not contradict this wicked
lie; we must allow that Adams did
marry a daughter of George III, but
we must swear that Jackson, his op-
ponent. married two Of George III. 3

UNION STAGE HANDS.

An amicable agreement between the
Crawfords here and the theater man
union stage hands employed at the
agement which threatened a boycott on
the theaters was made Saturday night.
The Crawfords made out a list of men
that they would employ if taken into
the union and the union men agreed to
it.
Nonunion men have been employed at
the theaters for some time. On this
account when the Grand opened with
the Prince of Tonight company this
season, the ccmpany's scene shutters
who were union men were called out
and chorus men and others had to 90
the necessary work.
The next step was a vote on the
part of the Typographical Union to
boycott the theater as long as nonunion
men were employed and that a fine of
81 be assessed to any of the union
breaking the boycott. Tt appeared that
otner industrial unions would folIo.v
their example according to talk made
However, representatives of the stage
hands met Roy Crawford Saturday
night and the agreement was reached.

The proposition of joining forces

be known as the younger section of the
club with less expensive dues and as

The dates for the winter features of

efforts of the knights. It is stated
that at least 400 male voices can be

MAY LOSE The RACES.
Commissioners Refuse TO Lift Ban on
BaIIooning.

A petition signed by 100 property
owners in the Westlawn park benefit
district, asking that the balloon flights
of the Western Aero association be
continued despite the efforts of citizens
in that district objecting to the ascen-
sions, was presented and rejected by
the board of city commissioners this
morning.
The big petition was supported by
speakers and all sorts of arguments
but the commissioners have joined the
don't disturb our slumbers class and
they filed the petition without any
favorable action.
The city commissioners are under
the impr ession that balloon flying Is
dangerous. Every known theory fails
to receive their interest Even when
it is shown that out of $1,000 flights in
Europe out of the crowded cities not
one fatality resulted, the commission
ers cling to the old superstition of dan
ger in soaring through the air.
The ban placed on flights from West
lawn park probably will lose the inter
city and regular flights to Topeka. The
Commercial club may make an effort
to instfn a little civic patriotism into
the old fashioned city officers.
