who paid a flying visit to the city yes
terday in the interest of the Puccini
grand opera, 1.-The Girl of the Golden
West which is to be offered at the
Grand opera house in English on Mon

musical matters, approaching and pat

so much encouragement from Topeka,

been so well received here. that he is
most SOlicitCus to retain the good opin-
ion which his offerings have met with
here.
He is therefore sending here one
of the most expensive, if not the most
sent upon the road. 1t is certainly the
most expensive production of grand
opera ever made in America outside
OF the house production of the Metro

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause Of Your
Troubles

Many people never suspect their
Kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That is just where
the danger lies You must cure
these troubles or they may lead to
dropsy or Brights disease The best
endorsed remedy for weak or diseas-

of the Phillies for two years more
Fogel and Doom came together for
the first time today since they got
into the newspaper controversy which

from managing the Phillies. The
meeting was held in the presence Of
three reporters, who brought the men
together They shook hands cordial
ly and Immediately thereafter Fogel
placed in Dooin's hands all the cor

end of the club into Dooin's keeping
Immediately after the men got to-

1t is believed here that the release
of Burns has something to do with
the Phillies getting Crayath from

been given out regarding this.

studio in New York. The buffalo will
cost the District $4,000, which will be
paid from the appropriation for the con-
structon of the bridge.

ture, which consists of a series OF
arches with stone trimmings. The

HOW ABOUT VICARoUs SACRIFICES ?

When charges were made, several months ago.
that the Florida Everglades reclamation project was
developing symptoms of huge scandal, and when
accusations were made that involved the Department
of Agriculture, three officials there summarily
dismissed
To make it good and strong, they were even
indicted by Federal court.
Now the indictments have been quashed, and
they are given a complete vindicaton.
The truth is that these three men did all they
could to head off and prevent the freebootery in
Evergade speculation.
They ought to have been promoted and COM
mended for what they tried to do. Instead, they
have been smirched and then grudgingly vndicated.
It's the Wiley case over again. Wiley was re-
commended for "condign punishment" because he
had done his best to make the pure food law worth
while. He. was finally driven from the department.
The men VINO tried to stop the Everglades scan
dal were indicted for their pains. Now it is admit
ted that they shouldn't have been.
But meantime these four men, who served the
public we'll and were punished for doing it. are lost
to the public service. They are:

FOR PORTO R|CANS
Systematic Ratproofng of
Buildings Is Expected to
Check Plague.

A systematic ratproofiing of buildings
Is to be carried out by the Public
Health and Marine Hospital service to
prevent a new or a further outbreak of
plague in Porto Rico. For more than
week no news cases have been reported.
and II is believed that the present epi-
demic will soon be stamped out
With a view, however, of avoiding fu-
ture outbreaks, Assistant Surgeon Will
liams has established headquarters and
opened a laboratory at Ponce, from
which point ne will supervise the rat
proofing process, and the catching and
killing Of rats.
Assistant Surgeon Ridlon is doing sim
liar work at Mayaguez. The same sys-
tenn will be followed in these two small
er cities as Is in vogue In San Juan.
Practically the entire city of San Juan
with the exception of the older sections
has been ratproofed. but great difficulty
Is being experienced with the ancient
buildings in the old cities, where con-
gestioA Is great, and construction dates
back fifty years or more.
Cuba has been formally proclaimed as
free from plague in accordance with ar
ticle of the International Sanitary con-
vention, which provides that no terri
tory shall be pronounced free until at
least five days after the disappearance
OF the last case until all disinfectiOn
remedies have been applied, and official
proof has been given.

TWO KINDS OF HASTE.

One trouble with the present-day reformer is that
he wants his reforms put into effect tomorrow morning
for breakfast.-Pre esident Taft
Well, at that he is scarcely more hasty than the
President who stops his train at one way station to
wire orders to send American troops to invade for
eign soil and then stops at the next way station to
countermand his orders
1t may also be observed that it was between
stations" that Taft composed his Winona speech
while in his haste to get to the golf links he left the
writing of very important document in the Ban.
ger case to a subordinate.
The main difference, then, between the reformec
and Taft is that the reformer is in hurry to get the
right things done, while Taft is in such a hurry to
shun the responsibilities of his Office that he per-
mits the wrong things to be done.
