PASTTME TONIGHT.
Farewell Performance of shadows
of the Past"

VI tIt
Marguerite Bertsch has written an
other thriller in Shadows of the
Past" the Broadway Star feature pic
ture that was the sensation of Broad
way during its run at the Vitagraph
Theatre. New York City. Each sue
ceeding photodrama from the pen of
this gifted writer is more thrilling
than the last and the big scene in
Shadows of the Past" is conceded to
be the acme of realism The engine
OF fast flying express train crashes
into speeding automobile, which is
hurled a hundred feet from the scene
of the accident The story is a pow
erful one in which love and politics
furnish the ground work A popular
candidate for governor is in love with
his typist who. five years before, was
released from prison after having
served term for being implicated in
smuggling scheme engineered by a
politician of shady repute. The girl,
played by Anita Stewart, refuses to
give way to her feelings until her
name is cleared, and it is because of
the accident in which the schemer,
who has knowledge of her guilty past
is killed, that she can conscientiously
accept the attentions of her lover and
! realize the fruits of her atonement
after five years OF rightful living.
Shadows Of the Past is a gripping
human-interest drama of life as we
know it, and will be shown for the
last time at the Pastime tonight

oFFHAND REFLECTIONS

The fellow who takes chances
with the prohibitory law in Kansas
is a tit subject for the
old-time fool killer. A news butcher
who had q run on the Union Pacific
knows this now to his sorrow. He
was jerked off the flyer here by
Sheriff Hassler the other night and
pleaded guilty the next morning, and
is serving a S0-day sentence. The
whisky he sold was in 26 cent bot
ties, about enough for two drinks.
He made 12h cents profit on each
bottle. For this 12h cent profit the
man risked going to jail for six
months and paying a fine OF 5000.
He was given the minimum sentence
500, costs and 80 days, and pro-
tested that he didn't know that his
offense was so serious. He's sorry
now. So are his wife and child.
A spotter never really gets q
warm welcome, even though he gives
evidence that leads to an admission
of guilt or a conviction. There is
always the suspicion the spotter
might "sell OUT to the man against
whom he has collected evidence, and
then If that person doesn't come
through, 1t is possible that the spot
ter may turn in his evidence, and
hope that local authorities will pay
him. A spotter who was here recent
ly hoped for this, and lost. The
business of spotter has bad odor

TTME TO FIX UP
ROADS, SAY TOURISTS

Solomon Tribune: Unless Saline
county officials get busy pretty soon
the Solomon Joy riders are not going
to do much travelling towards Salina
town, or any other towns in that
direction for that matter. We have
been talking with several motorists
the past few days and all Of them
tell us the roads in Salina county
are about as bad as they ever saw
them. There is hardly a smooth
stretch to be found. And this condi-
ton does not only apply to the
Golden Belt road. The other roads
are in like condition. Possibly the
b ,sy season is partly to blame Tor
the shape they are in but the rush
will soon end and then they should
be put in shape. The writer happen
ed to be on the street Sunday even
ing when some Abilene motorists,
who were on the way to Salina, stop
ped to inquire the condition Of the
roads. When they learned that they
would not find much pleasure In
travelling over the road they gave ur
their trip and took the road leading
south from Solomon, which is In
good shape. But seemingly, tht
Saline county roads are not the only
bad ones in this part Of the country

FEW COUNTIES KEEP
DELINQUENT TAX ACCOUNTS

Only 26 counties in Kansas now
are keeping delinquent tax accounts
with the state OF Kansas, according
to a statement issued yesterday by
w. q. Davis, state auditor. The
statement shows s17,1b3,13 delin-
Quent taxes for 1912 and prior years.
The amount of delinquent state
taxes is the smallest in years. Until
Auditor Davis went down to Wyan-
dotte county last year and collected
some SIS, ZOO back taxes, the unpaid
state taxes had been running along
from SS5,0 ,0eo to $4,000 At the end
of every year. Attention to business
on the part of Davis has brought an
extra $18,0OO into the treasury.
There are no delinquent tax ac-
counts kept by Dickinson county
