Entire Week High class vaudeville. Vaudeville at the Phillips. Things are coming the way of the New Phillips management this week, for the public is according a most liberal patronage to the vaudeville bill that is running there. Interest in the Japanese troupe remains unabated nnd many who may not care greatly for the tricks that are performed by the Japs, attend in order to get a glimpse of the two little fellows that ttre members of the family. They are 'just too cute" for anything and well worth seeing. This column has already spoken highly of the bill that is being presented and it is not necessary to go into detail again, but it Is a big dime's worth. Arthur Dunn Gennett. The well known comedian. Arthur Dunn, will appear at the Gennett on Wednesday. March 6, in a new and entirely original musical comedy, by Herbert Hall Winslow, entitled "The Little Joker." Mr. Dunn, who is without a peer as a first class entertainer, will, in "The Little Joker," have a greater opportunity for the display of his many talents than ever before and it is safe to assert that in his coming appearance he will be seen at his best. The supporting company will be composed of wellknown artists, who have been especially engaged for their adaptability to portray the parts for which they have been assigned. There will be a number of catchy, tuneful songs rendered by the entire company, and, with this fact in view, the management has secured a company who are vocally of the highest order. May Irwin Gennett. So firmly has May Irwin established herself in the affectionate regard of Richmond fun and music enthusiasts, that It is not surprising to note the uncommon interest being manifested Inward , her forthcoming en gagement at the Gennett theatre, March Sth. Miss Irwin will offer two productions on the occasion of her visit here, one being her latest comedy with music entitled "Mrs. WilsonAndrews' which, from all accounts fully deserves the high praise which has beefif given it in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, the only cities thus far Miss Irwin has played in this season, as New York demanded nearly three months of' her time. "Mrs. Wilson-Andrews" Is the work of George V. llobart who seems to have taken a very accurate measurement of the comedienne's sense of humor and in the role of a society widow who imagines that she has committed bigamy and makes a confession on the phonograph record for the benefit of husband No. 2 who afterwards discovers that there was no reason after all for her alarm. Miss Irwin is said to have reached the limit of her fun-making endeavors. "Mrs. Wilson-Andrews" will be followed by a one act farce, "Mrs. Peckman's Carouse" written by George Ade and which Miss Irwin only recently presented for the first time after, having eliminated from "Mrs. Wilson-Andrews" some of the really unnecessary lines." so as to be able to make the farce an added attraction without overstepping reasonable time. , Alberta Gallatin as Dorothy Vernon. (New York Times.) The initial performance of "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall," which opened at Macauley's last night for a threetiight and Saturday matinee run, was attended by a large and appreciative audience. The romantic play which deals with the times and customs of good Queeu Bess, is in four acts and affords a splendid opportunity for Miss Alberta Gallatin and her sup porting company, to display their varied talents. Miss Gallatin, the star, who pays the part of Dorothy Vernon, gave a clever interpretation of the role, receivinga curtain call after each act. James K. Appleby, who had the part f Perkln, Lord Vernon's jester, shared honors with her. Walter Penington's Sir John Manners, was a good bit of work, as was Frank Smith's delineation of Sir Georgo Verno .. Dorothy's father. Constance Hamblin, as Lady Vernon, aunt of Dorothy, has ono of the strongest parts in the support. As p whole, the play is a refreshing production of the' days of knight errantry and is elaborately put on in cstuming and stage settings. "Custer's Last Fight" Gennett. The biggest, most sensational and unique melodrama ever produced, will be seen when "Custer's Last Fight" conies t 5ie Gennett next Monday. It is a f'- . t historical play from the pen of oid, and written around nc o st familiar events in the history the United States. The largest company in the dramatic field this season, will present the piece, the roster numbering forty people. Among these wfIT be a band of full-blooded Indians, cowboys and scouts with their DRS, CHENOWETH AND DYKEMAN z Masonic Temple. Cor. Hours 8 a. m. to 6 p. We guarantee painless cocaine application.

HUBER HOME IS ROBBED ENTERED AT EARLY HOUR Mrs. Huber Hears the Intruder and Awakens Her Husband Left Without Taking Anything of Very Great Value. The home of the Rev. Conrad Huber, 333 South Seventh street, was entered by a burglar or burglars at an early hour Thursday and a considerable amount of money . taken. It is not known as to the exact amount, although it ranged between $S and $10. A small amount of jewelry was also taken. The fact that Dr. Huber's trousers and vest were untouched, although they contained both money and "a gold watch, tends toward the belief that the work was either- done by amateurs or the man entering the house became frightened and left before he had completed his work. The affair was reported immediately to the police and they are working on j the case. Mrs. Huber Awakened. The robbery occurred shortly after 2 o'clock a. m. and Mrs. Huber, who had heard the clock strike two, was further awakened a few minute3 later by a noise resembling the prowling of some man in her bedroom. She was inclined to think that it was the children, but when she called on two different occasions, asking who was there, she received no answer, and she then, after hearing receding movements, awakened her husband, who went into the other rooms to ascertain the whereu bouts of the children. Finding them all in their places, he returned to his wife's room, where she stated that burglars might be in the house. Dr. Huber then went down stairs, where he lighted the lights and found the kitchen door and two windows open. A small Dickinson Trust Company's bank containing several dollars was missing, as was a small china pig bank which contained $2.50. Patrolman is Called. After noting the conditions, Mr. Huber immediately telephoned the police department, and after the arrival of a patrolman, an examination was made, but the perpetrator of the deed had made his '"get-away." No clue has been found so far as known. ponies, horses and dogs. The scenes which are laid in the trackless wastes of the early West, give plenty of scope for the beautiful production which the scenic artists have turned out. The last act is a grand reproduction of Custer's last heroic stand against the Indians in 1S76, on the Little Big Horn Contractors Seek Relief. Cincinnati, O., Feb. 2S.

Hagerstown, Ind, Feb. 2S While despondent, , John Hart,, a tarni hand, aged fifty-four years, committed suicide by hanging at an ear'y hour this morning. Mr. Hart, was enjployed by W. H. Replogle, a farmer li;ag two miles east of town. He got up early this morning to go to the barn to feed the stock, taking his lantern as usual. When called to breakfast be made no response and Mr. Replogle went to the barn to investigate. He found the body hanging from a beam by ,i heavy rope, quite dead. The stock had not been fed and-the surmise is. that Sir. Hart had carefully planned ovr night to take his life the first thin?- this morning Little Known of Hart. So far as known, Mr. Hart had no settled home, but worked, about on farms wherever he could find employment. He had worked for Mr. Replogle since last summer and was r. sober, industrious and honorable man. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias and served as a member of the committee which has in charge the erection of the new Pythian temple in Hagerstown. He was never married. It is believed that he has a brother and a number of half-brothers living near Cadiz, in Henry county. He was a cousin of George and John Kepler, of Cambridge City, and a cousin of Oiiv-.r Cook of Greensfork. The Knights of Pythias took charge of the body and will conduct the funeral services. The coroner has been notified and will hold an inquest today. T No Hope for Sully. New York, Feb. 2S. It is believed to be but a question of hours with Daniel J. Sully, the former .cottisj king, and one of Wall street's most daring operators, who is lying critically ill at his home with pneumonia. His condition became so low today that oxygen was administered. His family has been called to the bedside. SATURDAY WILL BE THEIR LAST DAY IN RICHMOND. THE ROOT JUICE INSTRUCTORS WILL REMAIN AT LUKEN'S . DRUG STORE UNTIL NINE O'CLOCK, SATURDAY NIGHT. You have but two more days to see the Root Juice instructors as Saturday will be their last day in Richmond. If you are suffering with any of the troubles for which this remarkable remedy is recomffieJiiied; vou are very foolish if vou donot call at A. G. Luken's drug store between now and Saturday night at nine o'clock and see the Root Juice instructors. Root Juice has cured thousands of poor suffering men and women of stomach, liver and kidney -, troubles. Thousands are anxious to testify to its merits. Mrs. Alice Hammond, of Fort Wayne, Ind., says: "A year ago I was so sick that it was impossible for me to do my house work. I could not sleep, my breath was bad, if I stooped over and raised up quickly dark shadows would flash before my eyes and I would grow so dizzy I would be forced to catch hold of something to keep from falling.' My stomach was in an awful condition. I could eat scarcely anything without its causing me great suffering afterward. When I read of all the people Root Juice had cured, I bought some of it. . I took the medicine for three weeks and every symptom of my trouble disappeared. I am now a well woman.? The price of Root Juice is one dollar a bottle, three bottles for $2.Doyat Ltiten's drag store. "Root Juice will be shipped to parties out of town on receipt. of price, express charges, prepaid-

Florence Haler, After Having Been Fined in the City Court for Assault and Battery, Asks for ' an Attorney.

Florence Haler was fined $23 and costs yesterday in the city court for assault and battery on D. R. Runnels. Haler entered a plea of guilty, but after the fine had been imposed, stated to the court that he wished to secure an attorney and appeal the case to the circuit court. Judge Converse told Haler that this was irregular, but owing to the fact that Haler was unfamiliar with court procedure he would allow him to take this action. Haler asked that Attorney P. J. Freeman be sucured to defend him. Case Was Perplexing. The case was one of the most perplexing that has been tried in the city court recently. There were no witnesses to the fight between Haler and Runnels and Haler gave an entirely different version of the affair from Runnels. Each insisted that his version of the fight was the correct one. Haler stated that Runnels was the aggressor, having struck him in the eye and once in the forehead, causing the optic to blacken and a lump to form on the temple. Haler stated that these evidences of where Runnels' fists han landed were not as prominent as they had been Tuesday night, but still were visible. Judge Converse called the defendant to the bar and there made a careful examination of the alleged injured parts but could discover no signs of injuries. Tried to Boss Haler. Haler stated that Runnels, the fireman at the Light, He: V & Power plant, had tried to boss him, but that he refused to obey because he would take no orders from Runnels, even though he was only assistant fireman and Runnels the fireman. He said that Runnels lost his temper and knocked him of" the chair he was sitting on with a poke in the eye. After being floored, Haler stated, Runnels jumped on top of him and hit him in the forehead with his fist. By clever foot and fist work, Haler stated, he extricated himself from underneath Runnels and then promptly heaved a lump of coal at him. Haler said that Runnels dodged this and rushed at him with an uplifted spade. Haler then grabbed a club and hit Runnels three times in the head. This ended the fraj. f - . Runnels' Side of It. Runnels, " who appeared in court with his head covered . with a large bandage, denied that he struck Haler or that he rushed him with an uplifted spade. Runnels said that he and other 'officials at5 the planthad " repeatedly told ; Haler not to bank his coal so close to the furnace, but' that he did not obey orders, and the night of the fight Haler was in a sulky mood. When ordered by Runnels to break some coal, Haier refused. Runnels said that he then grabbed Haler by the coat and said, "I'm " going to give you a floggin', my boy." Haler broke loose, and after throwing a piece of coal at Runnels, hit him 3 times in the head with a club. Five stitches were taken in one cut and six stitches in another cut. WOULD LEAVE IT ALONE A Delegation of Richmond Men to Plead for Retention of Cities and Towns Law. It is probable that a delegation of Richmond men, business men who do not hold public offices and who do not take an active interest in politics, will go to Indianapolis today or Saturday to use their influence to prevent the state . legislature from 4 tampering with the towns and cities code. The business men of this city are thoroughly Satisfied with the present arrangement for city government and are of the opinion that a grave mistake would be made if the board of works, city judge and city controller offices were abolished. Prosecutor In the List. The delegation in the interests of the towns and cities law will not be large and those who will make the trip to Indianapolis are not known at the present time. Prosecutor Wilfred Jessup states that he will go to Indianapolis and plead for a longer trial of the towns and cities law. The men who have been fighting the law are from various cities, not including Richmond. These men are nearly all professional politicians who have been deprived of their "spoils" by the existing law. It is thought by local officials the members of the legislature should hear what uninterested, substantial business men think of the law, and for this reason they will ask three or four well known men of this city to appear before the towns and cities committees of the house and senate. City Will Get Money. County Treasurer B. B. Myrick, Jr., stated yesterday th it tcua y he w ill pay into the hands of City Treasurer Johnson $30,0SS, which is the . full amount of the city's share of the omitted taxes paid to Mr. Myrick by the Gaar, Scott & Company. Mr. Myrick will not deduct the usual 10 per cent, as is his custom, to protect himself, but will pay the city its full amount without waiting for the semi-annual settlement, T know the city needs the money," said Mr. Myrick.

President of Board of Works Give: Encouragement to the People o West Side Concerning Viaduct Improvement.

President C. W. MerrilL of tht j board of public works, has stated that the agreement between the city and the Pennsylvania railroad in regard to the building of a viaduct at the West Second street crossing of the railroad would go into effect as soon as the plans and estimates now being prepared at the Richmond division offices of the railroad and by City Engineer Fred Charles had been completed and accepted by the board and Superintendent Neff of the Richmond division. Delay Can Be Avoided. Mr. Merrill stated that it would not be necessary to send the new agreement to tthe Pittsburg offices of the railroad company for endorsement, as has had to be done with the previous agreements, because the Pittsburg officials had given Superintendent Neff the authority to accept or refuse the agreement as he saw fit. Mr. Neff states that he is perfectly satisfied with the agreement as it now stands, so as soon as the plans and estimates for building the Richmond division and the Indianapolis division viaducts at West Second street have been completed at the engineer's office of the Richmond division, and the plans for the sewer and the street and sidewalk improvements have been completed by City Engineer Charles and his assistants, there will be only one thing remaining to do before the actual work of making the improvements is started. Interchange of Plans. Py the terms of the agreement, Mr. Charles will submit his plans and estimates to the railroad officials and the plans and estimates prepared by the railroad engineers will be submitted, to the board. After both parties to the agreement have approved of these plans and estimates, and it is thought this will occasion no hitch, the project for which the people , of West Richmond and Fairview have fought so long and valiantly will materialize. Mr. Charles states his plans and estimates will be completed in two weeks. It is understood the plans being prepared by the railroad company are nearly completed. Assessors Will Meet. The . township assessors and their deputies will meet this morning at the office of the county assessor for the purpose of securing their supplies for canvassing purposes. County Assessor Marine will also give the men their, instructions for the work. The work of making the canvass is supposed to start today, the first of March. This year all personal property and real estate in the county will be assessed. Earlham Baseball Schedule. The following schedule for the baseball team at Earlham has been completed, although it is subject to change: April 13 Miami at Earlham. April 20 Earlham at Miami. May 25 Earlham at Franklin. June 1 Wittenberg at Earlham. June 8 Franklin at Earlham. On May 4th it is probable that Earlham will play Culver Military Academy,, at Culver. Game at Greensfork. Saturday the Earlham "scrub" basket-ball team will play the Greensfork five, at Greensfork. The following are on the team, with Brunson as referee: Herbert White, Louis Mitchell, Loren Petry, Homer Henley and Howard Winslow. Work Weakens the Kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great Service for. People Who Work in Richmond. Most Richmond people . work every day in some strained, unnatural position bending constantly over a desk riding on jolting wagons or cars doing laborious house work; lifting, reaching, or pulling, or trying the back in a hundred and one other ways. All these strains tend to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until they fall behind in their work of filtering the poisons from the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new strength in bad backs. Richmond can prove it. Enoch Cromer, conductor on the Penna. R. R., living at , 221 Xorta Nineteenth street, Richmond. Ind., says: "Railroading is said to be hard on the kidneys and the continued jar and jolt of riding on trains got me in a bad condition. My kidneys became weak and there was inflamation of the bladder. Many nights there would be three or four passages of the secretions before I could get to sleep, and this loss of rest made me weak, depressed and in no condition for work. Frequently I felt faint and dizzy and a general feeling of lassitude and weakness. Mr. Hiatt, of the Hiatt Drug Co., advised me to try Doan's. Kidney Pills. I did so with good results. The backache was relieved and the kidney action became regular." For sale by all dealers. Price t0 cents. Foster-MJlburn Co., Buffalo, K. Y., sole agents for the United States.
