they were puzzled what to do. Three
Testaments were offered for the three

Newspaper men, when they meet
in their biennial travesty on the Sen

close observer may observe-using less
than three observes for the
purpose-that the writer's do not
waste much time in burlesquing
the weak sisters. The big men
of the senate are the goats of
a mock session, and it may be re-
membered by those present that the
Senator from Atchison'' was the CEN

was handled without gloves. Even the
misfortune that left specimens of his
anatomy with certain northern sur

STORY OF CROSS
Pictures Show Life and Minis
try of Christ.
"FrOm the Manager to the
Cross" at Grand Tonight.

The following description of the ia
NOUS pictures, From the Manager to
the Cross which will be shown at
the Grand Opera house here three
days beginning tonight, is taken from
the Des Moines Register and Leader.
An audience of 1000 persons wit
messed the initial presentation of the
moving pictures of the life story of
Jesus of Nazareth at the University
Church of Christ last evening. Pre-
scented in picture, the life of Christ
held the audience spellbound as reel
after reel of the story was thrown up
on the screen.
The story is divided into five sec
tions, the first dealing entirely with
the birth of Jesus at Bethlehem, the
journey of the shepherds and the wise
men to worship the new king of the
jews.
The pictures of Palestine and the
flight to Egypt where Joseph and
Mary with the boy Jesus dwell amid
the pyramids and ancient monuments
are beautiful. The party returns to
Nazareth, along the same road over
which Joseph and the child travelled
1000 years ago. The scene of Jesus
in the temple at Jerusalem is shown
in a striking manner.
The public ministry of Christ is
shown in a series of pictures illustra-
ing familiar parts of the story, the
wedding feast where water is turned
to wine, the healing of the sick and
the scenes of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus
is shown healing the leper and raising
the son of the widow Main
from the dead in front of the Church
of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
Christ as a worker of miracles was
of absorbing interest. He was shown
forgiVing the woman who had Slnned,
then as the great teacher and as he
stood before the tomb and raised Lag
arus from the dead.
The scenes of Palm Sunday; the
arrival at the Holy City, where he
cIeanses the temple of the traders;
the fall of Judas; the last supper, and
the scene on Mount of Olives were
wonderfully reproduced. The story
closes with the betrayal by Judas. the
trial before PLATE and the crucifiXion,
following the humbling of Jesus and
his procession to Mount Calvary bear
ing his cross.

Whether Atchison owns Bale Wag-
gener or Bale Waggener owns Atch-
1son is a question that might develop
into bitter controversy, but as all
Atchison claims Balie Waggener and
ne doesn't claim all of AtchiSon,
prefer the first statement. Probably
no man in the state enjoys the distinc-
ton of having been: abused so much
with so little result. For two dozen
years political enemies have been yell
ing railroad Attorney term of
obloquy which would put the jinx on
any other politician-without remov-
Man of Atchison. He was a railroad
attorney; he candidly admitted that
he was not only a railroad attorney,
but that he disliked to have the rail-
roads sandbagged by every two-by-
four legislator who wanted a new
suit of clothes or get his name in the
papers. But in the meantime, no one
has been able to put a finger on any
crooked act, favoring the railroads or
anything else, that was commenced or
even endorsed by the man who drew
the highest pile of railroad money as
salary Railroads, to live and main
tain passenger service, must keep up
a continuous fight with about As legis-
latures. Salaried lobbyists are sent to
sign the lob books and present their
objections before railroad committees,
but the prince of all railroad attor-
neys has made it a point to take a lay
off when he came to the legislature,
and work for the state of Kansas.
