THOUSANDS OF DANDELIONS TO BE SEEN

The same phenomenon was visible
in the suburbs. The dandelions au-
daciously spotted hundreds of mead

grass was brown and sere.
Downy thistles, too, have raised
their heads to keep company with
their golden topped friends. The this

HEARING IS CLOSED.
Briefs VIII Now Be Filed in Banana
=-- -s- Rate Case.

Kansas City, Oct. 23.-At the hear
ing in the banana rate case here today
before c. r. Marshall, special exam
liner for the interstate commerce com
mission, Walter F. Written, secretary
of the Commercial club of Lincoln,
Neb., testified that the proposed in
crease in the freight rate on bananas
would be detrimental to the wholesal-
ers at Lincoln.
The increase to so cents a hundred
pounds from the old rate of II cents,
from New Orleans to Lincoln, as an
nounced by the railroads, would Mr..
Written contended, put the Lincoln
jobbers at a disadvantage because
their principal competitors at Sioux
City, Omaha, ST. Joseph and certain
other points are given better rates.
Joseph Granger, a produce dealer
of Lincoln, testified that Lincoln was
center of all the cities of similar size
in the United States; that the business
there had been developed under the
present adjustment of freight rates
and that the proposed increase of 9
cents the tariff on bananas from
cities such an advantage that Lin
coin would be forced to withdraw from
the iobbing business.
He said this would prove a great
hardship to the Lincoln dealers, who
within the last year have invested
much capital in additional facilities
for handling the banana trade. He
said the proposed increase in rates
would add $4,000 a year to his own
freight charges.
Morris Freshman, representing the
produce dealers of Beatrice, Neb., tes-
titled an increase in rates from the
gulf to Beatrice, which the railroads
desire to put into effect, would cause
the Beatrice dealers to abandon their
present intention of handling bananas
in large quantities. The hearing closed
today and the examiner announced
that the attorneys in the cases under
consideration must file briefs with the
commission not later than November
p. The commission will hear the ar
gument early in December.

SHOW INCREASE.
Liquor Shipments to Shawnee
Total 1851 Quarts.
Most of This Beer-FeW Height
innate Sales.

Some 1851 quarts Of liquor were ship
ped into Shawnee county in Septem Der
20, 900 quarts more than were received
in June, the last month the figures
were compiled by the State Journal. OF
this amount, 90,062 quarts were receiv-
ed in Topeka. Tecumseh, with pop
ulation of less than a hundred, receiv-
ed 1927 quarts of liquor last month.
OF the total amount shipped to the
county, 1851 quarts, SS,763 quarts were
berthe rest whisky, with a trif1ing
amount of alcohol, brandy and wine. In
discussing the report, Sheriff L. l.
Kiene observed that the per cent of
illicit sales was steadily decreasing;
that there was less signing of fictitious
names; and that, in all probability,
three-fourths of the consignments were
legitimate.
Since the passage of the Mahin Ii
quor law by the last legislature, rail-
roads and express companies have been
required to file reports of all intoxi
cants shipped to the state with the
county clerks. The reports include the
name of the conSignor, conSignee, kind
and quantity of the liquor, and date
of delivery. At least 80 per cent of the
liquor shipped to Shawnee county
comes from Kansas City.
The reports are on file in the office
of the county clerk, and are open to
the public. A few hours spent with the
papers and an adding machine give one
an approximate idea of the liquor re-
ceived in 80 days in Shawnee county.
Sheriff Kiene refers constantly to the
reports, and declares them much help
to him. When he notes a shipment of
800 quarts of whisky-there was such
a consignment in September-he in
vestigates.
The majority of shipments received
in the county are legitimate Shipments"
observed Mr.. Kiene today, several
cases are pending in the district court
yhere jointists are charged with having
been falsely identified. Owing to en-
ergetic prosecution, more jointists are
receiving liquor at their own addresses,
and less fictitious names are signed
with railway and express agents."

lntoxicants received at the various sta
lions in Shawnee county in Septem-

Union Pacific.

The Union Pacific railroad is facing
81 600 suit brought against the company
by Carl Moore of Concordia. who alleges
that the railroad permanently injured one
of his English bloodhounds, Daisy Dean
In his petition Moore states that he IS
the owner of several thoroughbred blood
hounds which he uses to track criminals
in his official capacity of sheriff of Cloud
county. Last spring Daisy Dean was
sent with trainer to Kansas City on
the Union Pacific and it is claimed that
the dog was badly injured, a leg was
broken and that the dog is worthless as
far as her seeming ability is concerned
Sheriff Moore brought the case before the
district court shortly after the accident
occurred but because of a ruling of the
interstate commerce commission, the case
will be tried before the federal court in
Topeka this fall.
R. w. Blair, attorney for the railroad,
says that the commission states that dogs
valued at over IS should not be sent as
regular baggage, but the railroad should
be notified to take extra precauuon- The
company is allowed to charge excess
rates for valuable dogs According to
the railroad officials. there was no notifi-
cation of the value of the dog and no
extra charges were paid.

"cHARLEY'S AUNT"TO BE
GIVEN AT THE ORPHEUM

One long laugh from curtain to cur
tain best describes that remarkable
farce comedy, "Charley's Aunt"
Payton Stock Company at the Or
pheum Theatre next week.
This mixture of fun and frollc by
Brandon Thomas is one of the great
est laughing plays ever written.
The scenes are laid in oxford, Eng
land. The undergraduates, besides
Charley. the part to be played by Ed
mond Soraghan, are Jack Chesney,
which Arthur Jarrett will embody,
and Lord Fancourt Babberly, the.
character which Clifford Stork will
take.
Charley's aunt, the wealthy Donna
Lucia D'Alvarez, of Brazil, has failed
to arrive on time for her visit to the
students, and while Babherly is re-
hearsng a female part, which he is to
take in a college play, his chum in
duces him to keep on his makeup and
consent to be introduced as Charley's
aunt. The masquerade results in sur
prlsing developments. Jacks father,
Colonel Sir Francis Chesney, to be
impersonated by Harry B. Roche, and
stephen Spettigue, Joseph w. Girard.
Immediately sue for the hand of the
rich woman, and the situation is
taken advantage Of The bogus Char
ley's aunt makes Spettigue agree to
the marriage of his niece, Amy Spet-
tigue, Miss Lillian Stuart, and his
ward, Kitty, the part which Miss Ma
bel Brownell will play, to Wykeham
and Chesney, respectively. At the
height of the hilarity the real aunt,
impersonated by Miss Sadie Radcliffe,
appears, and, learning of the esca-
pade, introduces herself under an as
sumed name, so she may watch how
far the scheme is to be carried
Stage Director Lee Sterrett has cast
the play admirably and the special
scenery has been painted by Scenic
Artist Harry Bennett.

MOVlNG-TALKlNG PICTURE
SHOW A PROCTOR FIXTURE

The popular demand of patrons of
Proctor's Park Place Theatre for the
continued presentation of the Edison
moving-talldn pictures has impelled
the management of the popular play
house to renew contracts for the eX-
elusive use of this wonderful amuse-
ment device with the idea of making
it permanent feature of the Proctor
bill.
The reproduction of scenes from
plays and of episodes in real life with
fidelity to both sound and action has
made the lsinetophone. as the Edison
invention is officially designated, one
of the wonders of the age. During
the coming week the kinetophone
will be used for the purpose of intro
ducing two new sketches to local
vaudeville audiences. They are enti-
tied THE Temptation of Faust" and
Jacks Jokes
In other respects the bill maintains
the high standard of excellence. Con-
spicuous among the list of the enter
tainers is that charming cantatrice,
Miss Eva Shirley, whose daintiness
and arch coquetry has applied to her
the distinction of THE Dresden China
Coincidence"
The bill will also include Britt Wood,
billed as THE Original Village Cut
Up" who will again add to the gaity
of the occasion with the assistance of

FASCINATING WIDOW"

Julian Eltinge's musical comedy,
1.-THE Fascinating Widow" which
comes to the Newark Theatre the
week of April 2S. is one of the live
Hest entertainments. before the pub
lie today. 1t has, what most musical
plays have not--a plot, and a good
plot at that. It's songs and dances
are refreshingly new and its music
is by the author of Madame Sherry"
which is it's best recommendation.
The Eltinge beauty chorus is excep-
tional, as choruses go, in that it is
permitted to share largely in the
fun of the entertainment, and not
merely pose in the BACKGROUND. The
eight beautiful girls who sing and
dance the rag Time College Girl
number in the second act are as i'm
portant as the principals themselves.
and they lose no opportunity to win
the plaudits of the audience
