gave out the following statement:
Nav! I wasn't skeered. I knew
my pop could have knocked that apple
off my head mile away without
moving a hair. He could have shot
it off around a couple Of corners. My
pop Is there with the cross bow! I've
seen him bring down humming- birds
on the wing with a handkerchief over
his eyes. In the clay pigeon shoot
last year he broke los out Of posi-

our state committee"
The Democratic orators VIII fill
dates tomorrow night, but no meetings
will be held by them in Kansas until
that time.
Our reason for not canceling sPeak-
ing dates said Chairman Dolley, of
the Republican committee, was the
failure of the national headquarters to
take action. If they decide to can
eel all speaking dates of the national
committee for Saturday, our state
committee will do likewise. To make
Saturday a day of sorrow and SYM
pathy because of the death Of Mr..
Sherman the event should not be local
in its nature and for that reason, I
am awaiting the action of the nation
al committees before taking action"

IN CITY POLITICS.
Mayor Billiard says He Isn't in Race
Yet-Richard Wilson a Candidate.

There is a rumor at the city hall
today that possibly Mayor Billiard will
not run for reelection after all. The
mayor since the announcement in the
State Journal several weeks ago, has
refused to discuss the matter with his
friends and there is report that he
will prefer to go back to private life.
In answer to the question today, the
mayor said:
81 wish to make one correction
to thse city political reports that
have been printed have not an
nounced my candidacy for reelection.
Although it has not been stated that
have given out the announcement, still
1 have been classed among the rest
for the office. I have not decided
what to dot is too early. But at
this time I am not a candidate want
this distinctly understood"
Richard Wilson, whose announce
ment for commissioner appeared in
the State Journal early in October, has
a righteous complaint-his name was
not included in the list in the State
Journal last evening.
II am in the race-right from the
start" he said. Il don't want to be
overlooked in this city campaign"

MacWATTERS QUARTET
FAREWEllS TONIGHT

Every number encOred and then
calls for more was the way In which
the audience at the Empire theater
expressed their opinion of the Mac.
Waters Quartet at the concert given
last evening. II was good.sized and
very representative audience and a
splendid evening of good music and
good nature was enjoyed.
Several of the numbers among those
most heartily encored had been given
at other concerts. The enthusiasm of
the audience proved that the rendition
of the quartet is the kind that lasts.
The musical numbers we're rendered
with an artistic finish and dramatic ac.
ton. Mr.. Thomas in his character
parts is eXcruciatingly funny. He can
change from the ridiculous to the sub
lime in pathos so quickly that he
starts his audience laughing hilarious
ly and winds up by leaving them "as
quiet as church" over some heart
throb talk of an old man.
During the intermission Mr.. Cakes
gave short talk of the aims and pur,
poses of the quartet. The name Mac
| Waters is one they adopted when
working their way through the Boston
School of Theology by giving concerts
Prof. MacWatters being one of the
professors. The men are carrying on
evangelistic work as they move along
their itinerary around the world, the
| concerts being an incident toward
paying the expenses. They are not
financed" by anyone. They are pay
ing and working as they go.
The farewell of the quartet will be
given at the Central Union Church
this evening. They sail on the mex
steamer for the Orient, the schedule
taking them through Japan, Korea
/ Manchuria, China, the Philippines, In
dia, Palestine and cities in Europe.

BlJ0U JAPANESE
ACT GETS BANzAlS
FROM ALL RACES

"Banzais" from all the races In IIa-
wall greet the japanese performers at
the Bijod this week. But II Is banzais
Of clapping and stamping, a language
which does not have to be interpreted
for any stage performer from whatever
part of the world, because II Is the
language of appreciation the world
over And so to speak. it's being
shOwcred upon the MiZuno family. The
little chaps I'm this clever japanese ac-
rObatic family show how pleasing IL
the applause to them by half-sup-
pressed smiles flashed to their COM
radcs when particularly loud dem
onstration greots one of their turns.
OF course, a good proportion of this
applause comes from people Of their
own race--a race that Is always loyal
to its own-but even the hardened
vaudeville thcater gOcr can not re-
strain his appreciation of some Of their
most skillful act features, and so at
times all races join in tremendous
cheers
The troupe consists Of five members,
all males. ranging from fun grown men
to two boys of small size.
The performance Is very pleasing
throughout and their acts amazing. The
opening feature Is balancer. who, on
his back. does some amazing stunts
with Japanese umbrella using his
feet only to accomplish his tricks. The
boys are clever contortionists and In
addition do many catchy hand balanc-
ing tricks. There are few tricks that
have been seen here. This Is one Of
the best acts that has ever been pre-
scented here, and II will be seen only
for short time. as the troupe will
shortly continue on to Yokohama.
