! MAYOR A SUCCESS
Hunnewell, Kas., Gives Its
Executive Honors After
First Year in Office.
fNational News Association

HUNNEWELL, Kan, April 1S-
Great banks of roses and carnations,
q reception by her enthusiastic towns
people and hundreds of congratula-
tory kilograms from suffragists
Throughout the United States greeted
Mrs. Ella Wilson, the only woman
mayor In America, when she entered
her official Office today upon the first
anniversary of her election to the chief
executiveship of Hunnewell.
Mrs. Wilson's tenure in Office has
proved success and it is confidently
STATED that If she cared to again place
her name on the ballot, at the coming
municipal election, she would receive
"a large majority over any rival who
may be put up by the opposition.
Although Mrs. Wilson is the only
woman mayor now in Office, she is not
the first elected in Kansas. Twenty
live women have been mayor of small
municipalities in the Sunfiower State
Mrs. Wilson, who is the daughter of
a pioneer Presbyterian minister, and
the wife of successful business man
of Hunnewell, has two sons, one
grown and the other just reaching
manhood.
81 take more pride in my sons than
do in my Office" she said today,
when asked to give review of her &C
complishments as mayor.
Her administration of the Office of
mayor, after an opposing city council,
composed of men, had been removed,
has instituted a number of reforms,
which include the elimination of dis
termination in local taxation, and the
Punishment Of gamblers, liquor sellers,
poolroom keepers and all forms of
money producing vice from the city.

MARK AMTONY'S TRICK.
II Worked Like a Charm Till Cleo.

II Worked Like Charm Till Cleo.
patra Learned tho Secret.
According to Plutarch. Cleopatra
was votary OF the piscatorial art. and
so keen did the rivalry become be-
tween her and Antony that he resort
ed to the meanest articles to insure
victory. Mortified and irritated by
the queens superiority. he engaged
divers to take live fish and place them
on his hook. This was done so eX-
pertly that he pulled up fish after fish
in rapid succession. Learning in some
way the secret of his sudden success.
Cleopatra pretended to congratulate
him and to admire his dexterity. and
at the same time she devised a cum
ming means of revenge.
Another match was arranged, and
the fishing began in the presence Of a
large company of friends. Antony
soon had bite and pulled up a large
sailed fish to his great disgust and
amid the loud laughter of all present.
The secret was out; Antony's trick
was exposed. and once more woman's
wit had proved too much for mans
ingenuity. A diver. specially instruct
ed by the queen, had got the start of
Antony's and attached the salt fish to
his hook.-Mathews in angling"

Commencing this afternoon and con-

Hallen and Fuller, will present their
new comedy sketch by Geo. M. Cohan,
entitled Election Bets" If anything
this is much more pleasing offering
than the one used the first of the week
and the theatergoers of this city will
no doubt take advantage of the oppor-
tunity of seeing these clever people in
their new vehicle.
The Hamilton Trio, two young ladies
and one gentleman, put on a clever
singing and dancing turn, interspersed
with a number of laughs.
The Sombreros open with a millin-
cry store with many beautiful hats
around on the tables, and with various
customers coming into the shop to try
on the beautiful creations. Imagine the
surprise of the audience when the man
ruthlessly pulls the hats to pieces and
commences whirling and Juggling
them around. AS a hat juggler Mr..
Sombrero would be hard to beat while
much credit is due the lady of the act
for the beautiful manner in which the
hats are trimmed.
Rogers and Bumstead in their selec-
tons from the popular comic opera
song hits are winning their share of
the applause.

al abbyn Wanted a Place.

1t Is hard to think of Henry Labou-
chere in any other occupation than
that of hitting heads aud making
faces. in a good cause. to be sure. but
still with much gusto and impish glee.
But we are assured by G. W. E. Rus
sell in the Cornhll Magazine that
Labouchere for time cherished that
most bourgeois of ambitions-a place
in the cabinet or in the high diplomatic
service When Gladstone organized
his last cabinet. in 1892. Labouchete
confidently expected that his valiant
services to the party during six years
of Tory ascendancy would be reward
ed. but befores Gladstone submitted
his list of ministers to the queen he
had received direct intimation that
the name of the editor of Truth must
not appear there. On this point her
majesty was reported to be very
stiff" Later Labouchere was an ac-
tive candidate for the ambassadorship
at Washington.

The Lady Guaranteed Silence, and She
Made Good.
Unexpectedly an uptown pastor who
encouraged congregational singing
gained a new parishioner. Keen
though his delight in hearing his peO-
pie sing, there was one member of his
flock whose endeavors he never en-
couraged. But the man sang without
encouragement, much to the discount
ture of pew holders anywhere near
him, who claimed that his loud, unmu-
steal voice threw them out Of time and
tune.
Repeated complaints convinced the
minister that somebody would have to
assume the responsibility of silencing
the ambitious singer. He decided that
the mans wife was best fitted for the
job. Owing to a difference in reli-
gious views husband and wife attend
ed different churches, but the minister
knew her, so he called and explained
his predicament. She was genuinely
surprised.
do you mean to say he sings?" she
said.
Tries to-" amended the pastor.
She thought minute. 81 shall have
to come there to church, she said.
II shall be glad to see you" said the
minister. "But what effect will that
have on your husbands singing?"
The look she gave him was more
significant than words, and they
meant q good deal.
John will never open his mouth
when l am around" she said.
And John never has. - New York

How and Why IL Rains.


Rain is an accumulation of the tiny
particles of the vapor Of the atmos-
phere into drops. These drops, first
small Of size, attract others Of their
kind and become drops Of such magni-
tude that they fall to the earth because
of their weight. There is limit to the
quantity Of water which the air is capa-
BILE of absorbing and retaining as in
visible vapor. Warm air is able to hold
more than cold air; hence when the
air which is saturated with moisture
becomes cold for any reason whatever
it can no longer retain its moisture. A
portion must under such condition &C
cumulate into drops. These fall to the
earth in the shape of rain.
