THE LADY AND THE RAT
They Put on Drama in Box of Grand
Performance.

A blood curdling scream might have
startled the audience at the Evan Will
liams' concert Tuesday afternoon,
caused by a sleek. furry rat that scam
pered about the boxes. He added his
infelicitous squeak to the singers sill
very tenor. He spoiled the afternoon
for one of the audience at least.
A society woman, occupying a lower
box, was enjoying the soloist wien she
noticed the rodent apparently ready
to spring; she could feel Ene sickly
thud with which he would drop in her
lap, and exerted the utmost control to
keep from screaming. The rat, recon
siderirg, right-about-faced, and scut-
tied along.
The Grand, by-the-way, is infested
with these little animals. They appear
not only by night, but by day. If
traps and biscuits do not exterminate
them, the fair feminine part of the
audience is going to rebel.

BOYS TRIAL POSTPONED
Kenneth York. Who Scratched Store
Windows, Be Tried Saturday.

Judge Schoch had not secured all
the information regarding Kenneth
York, accused of damaging plate
glass windows on Kansas avenue, that
he wanted, so he continued the hear
ing this morning until next Saturday
morning. The case probably will be
taken up at that time and some defin-
lite action taken.
Between now and then an investi-
cation into the boys school record
will be made, and if that record is
found to be good the court may show
some leniency toward the culprit.
Otherwise the boy may stand a chance
of being sent to the boys industrial
school
The boys mother fully believes he
had no idea of doing anything wrong
when he scratched a score of plate
glass windows with a sharp piece of
terra Gotta. What his intentions were
Judge Schoch will try to determine,
and his school record will help show
what his character has been.

NO MORE QUOTATIONS
Butter and Egg Board Refuses to
Give Out Prices.

Chicago, Dec. 4-'rNo more quota
tions on butter and eggs" was the
startling information given to market
editors today when. pursuing immemo-
rial custom, they applied to Assistant
Secretary Hale of the Chicago butter
and egg board for the days quota
tfOnS.
Mr.. Hale declined to discuss the
matter, but the action of the board
is said to be connected with the gov
eminent suit in which the board is
charged with conspiring to fix prices.
The government charged the board
was operated in restraint of trade as
defined by the Sherman antitrust
law. The evidence of the government
was completed before Master in
Chancery Morris some months ago
and United States District Attorney
Wilkerson has been waiting since for
the presentation of the evidence of
the defense.
Butter and eggs dealers say the
market is now an open one and prices
quoted in market reports will be
necessarily those at which actual sales
are made. During the day sales of
extra creamery butter were made at
from 80 to 81 cents.

King of Topeka Zoo Dies of
Broken Heart.
DEFEATED IN FIERCE BATTLE
War for Supremacy Resulted in
His Downfall.
Animal 40 Years Old and
Weighed 5000 Pounds.

Old Joshua, for many years king OF
the famous Hill herd of buffalo and
for two years leader of the Topeka
zoo tribe, died at noon today. Joshua
considered by many animal experts
the largest and finest specimen of q
bison in the United States, grieve
by the action of his followers in de-
posing him of his years of leadership,
swung his massive head back and
forth for few minutes today, doubled
his knees and fell to the ground life
less.
Joshua died with broken heart, it
is asserted by officials of the Gage
park zoo. In the last fifteen years of
his life he has held the supremacy of
his herd. Last summer the buffaloes
at the Topeka zoo tested his aged
strength. battle royal followed. 1t
ended with Old Joshua in the corner
of the enclosure, defeated, downcast
and badly injured.
Since that time the herd has "snub-
bed him. Like all wild animals they
have refused him admission to their
grazing, their drinking and theif
oounsels. As a result Old Joshua has
been dying since the test of his SUI
premacy. The herd recalled him
and he took it to heart.
z, 3. Stotts, city commissioner, has
arranged to have the head and should
ers mounted and placed in the city
hall. The hide will be sold.
Joshua was procured a few years
ago from the Hill herd in Michigan.
He was captured by Roy L. Bone,
city commissioner, who undertook to
take charge of the capture. With six
other buffalo he was brought to To-
peka and placed in the Gage park zoo.
Joshua has been designated as the
finest specimen of a bison in the Unit
ed States.
The herd today at the zoo is in a
frenzy of excitement. Keepers did
not dare enter the enclosure until the
animals had spent two or three hours
dancing and snorting around the body
of their -ex-leader. In the next few
days it is anticipated that new lead
er will be chosen from among the
herd-a battle will decide the ap-
pointment
