Page in a recent speech at Richmond.
they taxed and bonded themselves to
the limit and built roads and MAIN
tanned them we'll, from anywhere to
nowhere, because, for the most part,
there wasn't anywhere to build them

Of it is that it worked, for the people
came and settled along these roads
and occupied land which had not been
used since the beginning Of things"
And Or. Page was right. for the
southern half of h county was, up to
five years ago, the laughing stock Of
h State. Cotton tail rabbit has to

sert,' was the facetious renar not
without its suggestion Of truth. To-
day, however, this same desert has
over one thousand miles Of good roads
within a radius Of fifty miles and over
two hundred within its borders, and
raises more corn and more cotton to
the average acre than any part of the
State. Land sells for We times what
1t did before the good roads movement
and sells readily, where formerly it
could hardly be given away, rapid de-

large plantations operated by young
men from the North.
Naturally the influence has been
widespread and as a direct result, the
adjoining counties Of Lee, Hoke, Cum

Randolph have built many miles Of
sand clay roads and are gradually

be staged at the Auditorium Thursday

will be one of the special features of
the show, is said to be scream
The final rehearsal will be held in
the Auditorium at 1880 O'Clock this

box that will be given as a prize to
the team of Karnival Rights successful
in selling the largest number of tickets.
1t has been limited that a court
house team and one under George
Godfrey Moore are going along neck
and neck in the race for ticket dis
pensing supremacy.
The side and middle section of the
parquet at the Auditorium have been
reserved as an accomm odation to those
who do not care to arrive at the big
seats to be had at the regular % cent
price. On. account of the popular
price the Knights expect to have the
auditorium packed both nights. The
fellows are trying to make this the
most successful minstrel show ever
given by local talent in the city. The
proceeds will go towards paying the
cost of the Karnival parade next fall.
The large chorus of fifty people will
be sufficient to furnish an abundance
of noise, and this is an important fea-
ture of minstrel show. The volume
of sound is always an important part
of the singing, especially in the work
of the chorus. The brand of goods
that is being put out by the end men
is excellent, to say the least, and the
work of the harmo.-y artists is a thing
that should not be overlooked. What
promises to be one of the real hits of
the show, however, is a burlesque of
the Sextette from Lucia, given by J. B.
Doncyson, Dana Parkhurst, Ernest
Gustafson, Lyle Anderson, Irwin Snat-
finger and Chester Grover, and it may
be we'll to mention the fact that these
gentlemen render this selection like

Parties in Nebraska Are Split Over
Rival Candidates.

Lincoln, April 17.-With the primaries
but two days ahead, party followings
split asunder and political conditions
in a chaotic state. Nebraska is a stage
on which one presidential candidate
and a half dozen lieutenants of oppon-
ents and wouldbe nominees of the 9TH
er party are playing. Roosevelt ar
rived in the state this morning and
started his speaking tour, intended to
counterfeit the effect of LaFoHette's
personal campaign of akweek ago.
On the Democrat side the adherenrs
of Clark, Wilson and Harmon are work
ing hard to advance the interests OF
their candidates. The Ohio governor
is receiving the support of United
States Senator Hitchcock but is being
opposed by w. J. Bryan.

Talk About Things That Interest Med
icaI Men.

An interesting session of the Shawnee
Medical society was held at the Com

DR.. T. H. Bougfton, of the medical de-
partment Of Kansas University, read a
paper on ''Prophylaxis of Typhoid
Fever discussing at length the use of
anti-typhoid serum as a preventive
measure in typhoid fever. DR.. Bough-
ton has had much experience, and has
investigated the practicability of the
serum innoculation thoroughly. He
of his own experience in the prevention
of the malady. DR.. Boughton also gave
statistics showing the inestimabl value
of the use of serum treatment, giving
an account of two hundred men of the
regular army who were subjected to
the preventive measure and of the
entire number only twelve contra cted
the disease, however, there was not
a single death reported among those
affected.
Following DR.. Boughton's discussion,

which the diagnosis and treatment of
the disease, commonly called Shingles

ECZEMA is NOT NOT AN
INCURABLE AFFLICTION

Thousands Of sufferers from Eczema
and other skin diseases daily bear the ter
rible itching because they labor under the
belief that no remedy exists which Will
effect a cure. Such Misrepresentation is
the cause of much needless suffering.
Eczema and allied diseases are the result
of a parasite which has found lodging in
the skin or blood, and makes it's presence
felt in places nearest the surface. To stop
the itching it is but necessary to relieve
the afflicted parts. To effect cure Is an
entirely different matter, The parasite
must be drawn to the surface, completely
destroyed and carried off.
BRIEKLEY'S "6ANADOR" has provsm
its worth in thousands of severe cases OF
Ecsema, Salt Rheunl. Scabies, Prickly
Heat, and other skin diseases 1t Is sooth-
ing healing and germicfdal BRINK
LEY.s "sANADOR" attacks the parasite
and destroys It. The first application re-
ueyes the itch, and before long noticeable
progress he's been made. After the cure,
stSanador' restores the skin to its normal
healthy state. Sufferers from the terrible
affliction can do themselves no more good
than by testing the merits OF this remedy,
which, without question, has proven itself
the greatest skin remedy in the world.
BRINKLEY's "SANADOR" is for sale
and guaranteed by Rex Pharmacy, Tenth
and Kansas Avenue.

Father, Professor, Whipped Grown
Daughter in Public.

Lincoln, Neb., April 17.-Hildegarde
Powers, 18, lies seriously i'll at the
family home in Lincoln, as the result
of an attempt at suicide after whip
ping administered in the street by her
father, Professor ]. H. Powers, of the
faculty of the University of Nebraska.
The whipping, which done in the pres
ence of Miss Powers girl companions,
was REPEATED inside the home. Two
hours later the girl was discovered in
her bedroom unconscious. She had
closed the doors and windows and turn
ed on the gas. Physicians today pro-
nounced her out of danger.
Neighbors who witnessed the whip
ping demanded that Professor Pow
ers be prosecuted, but Deputy County
Hager after an investigation
declined to proceed.
An independent investigation will be
made by the university authorities.
Professor Powers is an authority on
biology and is considered one of the
leading scientists in the field of

explained that his daughter had dis
obeyed him by failing to return from

LOOKING FOR A SITE.
Methodists Undecided About Home for
Aged Ministers.

Because a tract of land is owned in
Topeka by the trustees for the Meth
odist Episcopal Home for the Aged
it was thought there would be no
question as to the location of the
nome-that it would be built in To-
peka. It transpired at an all-day
session of the board tht such is not
the case. Newton, Fort Scott and Sa-
lima are offering inducements to the
trustees to build in those towns. The
question of site will be gone into thor
oughly by a committee composed of
DR.. F. L. Loveland and H. CIarkson
of Topeka; C. H. woodward of New
ton; J. w. Bates of Salina, and C. S.
Nusbaum of Parsons.
Members of the board visited the
property of the late Rev. John D.
Knox in Potwin looking into the
question of it's purchase for a site. The
grounds are adequate, but the building
is not sufficiently large to meet the
requirements. The site will be con-
sidered with the others. The trustees
now own property near the Lowman
Methodist church in the western part
of the city.

ACTING AN ACTRESS,
Miss Bronaugh's Idea of Patsy Is
From Real Life.

An actress acting an actress2 Does
the assuming of the character recall
her actual experiences? Does she re-
aHze that she is acting? Does she
interpret the character from life?
These questions naturally arise when
you see Miss Ann Bronaugh, who
plays the part of the chorus girl in
the play of that title at the Majestic
this week. However, Miss Bronaugh
has never been a chorus girl but gets
her idea for the portrayal of the char
acter from a girl she knew in New
York musical show.
Acting an actress is much like
acting anything else" said Miss Bro
naugh this afternoon just after the
second act. She had no changes to
make and SO had time to talk. 81 was
whom I am trying to impersonate as
Patsy. She was in a big New York
musical show. She was rather rough
spoken, slangy and somewhat loud in
and true, loyal to her friends and
would do for them anything in her
power that was honorable.
and let me tell you Just as Pat
says: There are as good girls in the
chorus as any place else.
Eyes, I like to play Patsy. The
great difference in playing the part is
this: I don't have time to think of
what I am going to say Patsy o+ is a
Now, as a woman in a society drama
I would have time to pose. to think
out the way to read the lines. AS
Patsy I have to 'slop' through it Par
don me for using the same slang she
is supposed to use.
mo, I never had a part like this
before; never acted an actress until
in this part. But I enjoy giving the
public as near as possible the charac-
ter portrait of a typical chorus girl,
one, as I said. who may be a little
rough, but whose heart is as good as
gold -
