"SERVANT IN THE house,

Do not forget the production of the
Servant in the House. at the Municl-
pal Theatre, May II. The opportunity
to witness such strong and instructive
play should not be neglected. It's les
sons are plain, forceful and helpful.
The entire action of the piece takes
place one spring morning at an English
country vicarage. The seven characters
are we'll drawn. The worldly Bishop,
the Vicar, the Wears wife, Mary, their
niece; the Drain Man, the Page boy,
and Manson, the Servant, are master
pieces.
Alan Dale, the critic, writing of this
play said Through it's subtle ways the
idea that the central figure in The
Servant in the House is intended to be
taken by the audience as reincarna-
ton of Christ, is suggested by the
author, Charles Ram Kennedy. Real
ly this character who is known as
Manson, is. the great Bishop Of Benares,
working in his brothers house in the
guise Of an Oriental servant, though
the dialogue and stage business at
times refer in an indirect way to his
presumably divine origin. Of course
one must stretch the imagination con-
siderably in order to see in Manson the
character of the Saviour. Still some OF
our greatest writer's who have witness
ed the play claim to have caught a
feeting glimpse Of Christ in 1.-The

Mrs. Garfield Mayor of Warren.

Our neighboring town of Warren is
the first city in Illinois to have a
mayoress. She is Mrs. A. R. Garfield.

votes. Warren has a population of 1.

Grandma" Garfield, as the mayoress

suffragist during the thirty years she
has been milliner here. Her defeated
competitor is C.. f. Davis.
An unusual development was that
Mrs. Garfield received more men votes
than did Davis, while Davis received
more women votes than did Mrs. Can

miners is the fact that if there are
not enough cars set in place at
o'clock a. M. to take care of the day $
entire output the miners will go home
and not work that day. Even though
the engine may be pulling the cars
into the switch the miners will lay
off The cars must be all ready to
take care of the coal for the day.
The vital point in the retail coal
business is service. This is accom-
plished by having good, steady team
sters, good teams owned by us and
branch yards conveniently located.
People as a rule expect coal haul
err to exhibit the same degree of COM
mon sense and thoughtfulness as they
themselves would if doing the same
labor. But. if you will stop to think of
the small percentage of men that will
haul coal if there is anything else for
them to do you will realize that the
apparent carelessness of the drivers Is
not intentional to the point that the
consumer may think. Try to put your
self in the dfivera' place and have the
bad luck thar they Sometimes encoun-
ter and don't yBu think you would
rather do something else if given half

sion Jurisdiction over train schedules.
Nearly 1000 Petitions.
Eighty per cent of the railroad bills
were introduced by ten per cent of the
members. More than 900 petitions
were received from SO counties, ask
ing the legislature to pass no laws
that would place financial burden
on the railroads. The petitions were
signed by farmers, town business men
and railway employees. 1t was the
first time in the history of. Kansas that
the people have asked the legislature
to give the railroads consideration.
Also it was the first time in the states
history that the railroads went to the
grass roots with their case--told the
people in newspaper advertisements
just what they (the railroads) were
up against The action of the legis-
lature on railroad bills indicated that
the people believed the story told by
the railroad men and that friendly
public sentiment was created which
found a lodgment in the law making
bodies.

Whether tenant forfeits his right
to take exceptions to objectionable
noises around the property he rents
when he does not Immediately file
protest. seems to be one of the impor
tant questions involved in the suit
Todd Matthews is defending against
Charles S. Eagle who is endeavoring
to collect rental on a lease which Mat

was too much noise next door to his
place of business. Eagle owns the
property whence the Objectionable
sounds emanated, Matthews having
rented from him half of his store
room on Kansas avenue.
The district court ruled against evil

store was not more conSpicuously
noisy than are other cigar stores in
