ADJUSTMENTS
The Empress.

Anybody that can roll hoops or toss clubs any better or faster than the Kartclles now at the Empress, will certainly have to hurry. A clean. cleV- CT act. may fate speed more of them this way.
 Mot Belmont with one leg can do more real athletic stunts than many so called muscular wonders who are going through life on the natural number ot pedal eXtremities.
 The act Twenty Minutes from Broadway" proved to be wrong steer and the manager canned it after the matinee yesterday.
 One of the photo plays now belnS played at the Empress is The Blind Cattle King with the scenes laid along the Mexican border, romantic theme acted in a fitting environment makes a photo drama interesting under any circumstance but this one IS especially so because many of the actors are known locally Among these are Room Williamson and Wm. Detrick. here for merlv in stock. one scene evidently taken at Prescott shows the plaza Tn that city and the statue of BuckI O.NeiI. one of the heroes who died in the charge up san Juan hill in Cuba.

The Old Comedy Standby at the Grand
Tonight.

All that remains of the original pro-
duction of "McFadden's Flats that
evergreen musical farce comedy, which
will be seen at the Grand tonight is its
title. Specialties that would serve as
an attraction in any environment are
introduced in the course of the action
of the piece. while the chorus of 80
pretty and fascinating young women
lends an extra charm to an entertain
ment containing a number of features,
stage and electrical effects, novelties,
surprises, etc. in addition to tuneful
and catchy music. The piece is sue
ceSsful because of its continuity of
amusing scenes and laughing situa-
tons, coupled with capable comedians
who know how to create fun in a man
ner to tickle the risibilities of even a
misanthrope.

The Twentieth Kansas Reunion
i'm Full Blast.
Ex-SOIdier Boys Raid Pie
Wagon.
CAPTAIN WATERS ADDRESS
Old Soldier Had Welcomed
Young Soldiers Before.
Capt. BOItwOOd, Veteran of Two
Wars, Is Here.

There was excitement on Kansas
avenue this afternoon. The sight of
a pie wagon at the corner of Eighth
and Kansas avenue brought back
memories of raids in California and
100 heroes of the Spanish-American
war who were on their way to the Or
pheum theater where they had been
invited as guests made a mad dash for
the wagon. A large number of luS-
ciouS pies made their disappearance
kin a marvelously short space of time.
A dinner was given at noon at the
Commercial club for the hundred or
more members of the Twentieth Kan
sas regiment who are attending their
fourteenth annual reunion. Captain
Edmund BoItwood of ottawa, presi-
dent of the organization, presided over
the meeting, and Captain Joseph G..
Waters was the orator of the occasion.
Captain Waters in the absence. of r.
L. Cofran, mayor of Topeka, also well
coined the members of the regiment
to Topeka
Among the distinguished members
of the regiment aside from Captain
Boltwood were General Wilder S. Met
calf, Colonel f. c. Little, Major c. 1
Martin. Lieutenant r. s. Parker of
Ottawa, who has served in two wars,
was also present.
Captain Waters said in part:
Il have, heretofore, with a spend
thrift tongue, absolutely wasted on
you. all the superlatives I was able tc
muster out of the dictionaries, and all
the adjectives, every one of them,
seemed insipid, worn and diminutive,
as 1 have attempted to apply them in
this address.
