At THE PICTURE HOUSES


Kinemacolor again proved its pop
ularity in Topeka last night when
Everyman was shown in three reels.
Everyman ts one Of the most beauti-
full pictures ever shown in Topeka,

role. This ancient play was popular
In Europe before America was dis
covered and has recently been revived
In England and America.
The theme of Everyman is that OF
universal mortality. Everyman ie
summoned by Death and is command
ed to take the long journey to the
tomb. He asks time to get a compan-
ion and obtains consent from Death.
which part is taken by Herbert White

friends, Fellowship, Kindred, Riches.
Knowledge and Confession, but all re-
fuse to take the journey. Good Deeds
would have done SO but has not the
strength. However, Confession gives
Everyman a cloak of penitence and
Good Deeds becomes strong again and
goes with Everyman.
Everyman is accompanied on his
journey by. Strength, Beauty and Good
Deeds, but the two former falter at
the tomb and turn back. Good Deeds
stands by him to the end.
Everyman is a play that has never
before appeared in Kansas, and the
stage setting is wonderful. Linda Grif-

preceded the arrival of the officer. He

TWO AUTOMOBILES
HAVE QUEER TINE

Alta Crosse the pranks Of a clique
of boys resulted il the damaging of
two automobiles, those belonging to
C. B. NOelke, 1903 King street, and
John Faas, Sand Lake Coulee farmer.
The two men with their families were
attending services in the St.
James church. There cars were stand
ing on Caledonia street in front of the
church, both headed north, NOelke 8
car back of that belonging to Faas.
Two boys, spectators say, entered
Noelke's car and started the motor and
threw in the clutch with the probable
intention of running the car around the
block. The boys couldn't guide the car
away from the one ahead, collision
resulting. The boys jumped from the
car and hid, leaving their 5car pushing
the other across the street toward the
Gibson shop. When the head car hit
the curb it stopped and was thrown
around by the car behind which ended
up with the left side wheels on the
curbing with the motor stalled.
Faas, on examining his car, deemed
it in commission and cranked up, throw
ing the clutch into high. But the car
refused to keep the straightaway. IAf-
ter careening back and forth across
the street for more than a block it stop
ped abruptly in the front yard of Rich
ard Hurley, 1908 Caledonia street. The
steering geer was badly bent.
A broken headlight was Noelke's
damage.

Great Industry

Messena Springs, New York, is where
large canal was built in 1904 connect
ing the St. Lawrence river with the
Grass river. The canal is two miles
long, the deepestlcut being ninety feet
The horse power is $50, ,000 The prop
erty is now owned by the Aluminium
Company of America. The firm has
the largest plant in the world for the
manufacture of aluminium. The plant
covers $40 acres. The ore is melted
by an electric current and made into
wire and pig ore. The company en-
ploys 800 people and the settlement is
called Pine Grove, the site being just
outside of Messena Springs. There
are several railroad tracks and tn,
canal has a fall of As feet into the
Grass river which they are now dredg-
ing with large machines to the depth
of 22 feet in order that the heavy boats
from the St. Lawrence river may be
accommodated. The boats must come
up the river nine miles and they are
rushing the work by keeping the
dredges going night and day bringing
the bottom of the river to the surface.

MAIL STOLEN At
SPARTA STATION

Two sacks of parcel post matter, one
sack of fourth class matter, mostly
newspapers, were taken from the G. M.
& ST. P. Ry. station at Sparta yesterday
morning when robbers broke into the
baggage room at the station between
l: 80 and O clock. The three sacks
were the only mail matter in the bag
gage room &C the time.
The robbers made hurried getaway,
waiting barely long enough to grab the
three sacks. The man on duty at the
time heard commotion in the room,
which is remote from the ticket office,
and an investigation found the robbers
gone. The Sparta authorities were
notified, but their arrival was too late
for the apprehension of the station
breakers. The men are still at large.
The men evidently considered their
haul as worthless as the three sacks
and their contents were found scattered
through the railroad yards. 1t is
thought that most of the mail and par
eel post matter is included in the salv-
age.

BERLIN DENIES BOMBS
FELL ON KRUPP PLANT

BERLIN. December (by wireless
to London. 2:15 p.m.)-An official state
ment was issued here today denying
the report that the Krupp plant at Es-
sen had been bombarded by a foreign
aeronaut.
Hostile aviators dropped four bombs
this afternoon in the neighborhood Of
Freiburg. in Baden, not far north of
the Swiss frontier. The intention of
the aviators apparently was to de-
stroy the railroad bridge there.
A dispatch from The Hague to the
Exchange Telegraph Company in Lon
don. December 3, stated that a message
had been received there from Berlin
telling of the bombardment by an avia-
tor of the buildings at the Krupp plant
which are devoted to the manufacture
OF cannon. 1t was stated that the air
man escaped uninjured. and that the
extent of the damage inflicted had not
been ascertained.
