NEXT WEEKS BILL AT NOVELTY
Program Indicates a Well Balanced
Performance.

The bill at the Novelty the coming
week includes as big a variety of acts
as any week this season. Heading the
bill are Whyte, Pelzer and Whyte.
whose clever travesty work easily made
them the hit of the bill the past week
at the Garden theater, Kansas City.
Wolf and Zadella offer a different
and more wholesome act than the av-
erage acrobatic act. Their act is
interSperSed with witty talking
throughout. Craig and Overholt in their
song firtationS are two well dressed
and exceptionally clever singers and
dancers. The true and realistic char
acter representations of Harry Won
dell with a little music added will
please you immensely. Frank Rogers
the only colo~ed VeDtriloquist in vaude-
Vile, comes highly recommended and
should prove an innovation. Complet-
ing the bill will be the usual high

report unprecedented sales and ship
ping departments in the principal cen
tiers are being rushed in order to cope
with insistent demands for deliveries.
Orders from retail dealers are in
noteworthy proportions, mail orders in
a host of lines attract attention and
road statesmen evidently do not have to
do much soliciting in order to get BUSH

It seemed to be the general opinion
that Mathewson would be McGraw's
pitching choice, with Meyers catching
and that Ray Collins, southpaw, would
again occupy the Boston pitching box
with Carrigan on the receiving end.
These were the batteries which started
the eleven inning tie game on Wednes-
day. Whether Collins, who was taken
from the box in the eighth inning that
day. would be able to last through a
contest today and whether Mathewson,
whose pitching knowledge gained in
many campaigns enabled him to finish
the game although batted hard would
be able to come through. were subjects
of discussion among the fans. With
Collins in the box, McGraw prepared to
shift his lineup putting Beals Becker
ill the place of Josh Devore, who
cannot hit left handlers. The probable
order of batting was:

dirt made on the Boston players by
people in the street while on the way

Charges Fraud in Real Estate Deal

Charging fraud in the trade of three
lots on Taylor street for an S0-acre
farm in Arkansas, F. o. Parsons has
filed suit in the district court against
]. F. BroughtOn asking that the trans
fer be declared void, and that he be
restored to his title in the Taylor
street property. Parsons says he
traded with the understanding that a
mortgage of 5000 against the farm
was not due, and that it could be re-
newed when it fell due. After the
trade he says he found that fore
closure proceedings already had been
begun against the place. The fraud,
he charges, lay in misrepresentation
regarding the mortgage.
