UNCLE JIMMY IS DEAD
No Longer Will Doctor Phillips Sup
ply Water to Topeka Citizens.

Uncle Jimmy Phillips, known to
nearly everyone in Topeka as a ven
dor of mineral water, died Sunday at
his home, 612 West Eighth street, fol-
lowing an attack of the grip His
health had been failing since the
deaths of his wife about six weeks
ago and owing to his advanced age
he was unable to Withstand the raw
ages of the disease. Uncle Jimmy was
IA years old.
James Phillips was born in slavery
and had never lost the deferential
manner acquired through his early
training. He was a veteran of the
Civil war, but had been unable to get
his pension papers arranged. He came
to Kansas following the war and set
tied first in Oskaloosa. He is known
to all the old residents of that place.
Uncle Jimmy came. to Topeka in
the early 7O's and soon after his ar
rival bought the place at 612 West
Eighth street, where ne has lived since
that time. Finding, through analysis,
that the spring water in his yard was
the purest in Topeka, he established a
route and for twenty-five years de-
livered water to residents of the city.
He claimed to know the name of
every man and woman west OF KAN
sas avenue and east of Clay street
He was a charter member of st.
Johns A NJ. E. church and for over
thirty years was a class leader. He is
survived by two daughters. Eva Phil
lips, OF Topeka, and Mrs. Charles Al
len. of Gary. Ind.
Arrangements for the funeral will
be made later.

kick IN"

The Grand was well filled twice
Saturday on the return engagement of
Norman Hackett and his Kick In
company. The reception accorded the
well known actor was so warm that
he was called to make curtain
speeches at both afternoon and night
performances. AS an tmpromptu
speaker, Hackett showed the genius
of Cicero, as he prodded Topeka on
account of poor show patronage. He
spoke of the recent interview with
Roy Crawford, published IN the State
Journal, in which producers were
quoted as giving Topeka a black eye.
However, Hackett turned out a few
rare compliments for the city and
said he believed the city was awak-
ening to the real struggle between
motion pictures and the spoken
drama.
The performance was essentially
the same as it was two weeks ago
here. The only change was in the
character of Whip" Fogarty, the de-
tective. Rodney Hinderbrand sup
planted s. Jonasson in that part and
his work was a great improvement
over his predecessor s. kick In" is
a play of a great city and it brings to
light lot of things about police COM
missioners, rats dope fiends and
other people. The company left short
