PLAY THE POLITICAL GAME.
PROHIBITION BILL HAS BEEN KNOCKED AROUND AS A FOOTBALL IN THE EFFORT TO BREAK THE DEADLOCK.
Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 17. The Kentucky general assembly has ballot ted for exactly a month in an effort to elect a United States senator to succeed James B. McCreary, and today is apparently no nearer an election than It was on the day the first ballot was taken. On the first vote ex-Governor Beckham, who had been nominated at the democratic primaries, received sixty-six votes, ex-Governor Bradley, republican caucus nominee, sixty-four votes, while seven democratic members were scattering and one republican absent through illness. During the month in which balloting has proceeded Becuham gained back Senator Tabb, who voted against him the first day, but lost Representative Klair, while Representative Denham, who was ill, has recovered and is now voting for Bradley, making the relative standing of the two candidates practically the same as when the voting began. During the four weeks intervening, however, the limit of polities has been played by both democrats and republicans in the effort to secure an advantage in the race and break the deadlock. The principal veliicle for charges and' counter charges ias been a bill to extend the provision of the county unit local option prohibition law uniformly to all counties of the state. The republicans have charged that the Beckham democrats have used this bill as a legislative football. Make Counter Charges. On the other hand the prohibition democrats assert that the republicans have violated the emphatic declaration of their last state platform by voting with the so-called liquor democrats to delay the bill. Republicans are supporting Bradley as a unit, hopeful that thoy may finally secure enough votes from the antiBeck ham democrats to eiect him. Several leading republican state papers have suggested that the republicans make a deal with the- anti-Bcckham democrats to elect some other democrat than Beckham in a deal to secure b new re-districting act, bipartisan fctate boards and other legislation desired by the republican administration. The Beckham men declare, however, that in such a contingency he will get enough prohibition republican votes to win himself. When the senatorial pot is at the boiling point legislation is practically at a standstill. The session is more than half over, yet but one bill has become a law, and it only provides for a stenographer for the governor.

London. Feb. 17. Affairs in the middle East are not shaping for the peace of the Orient. The talk of war between Russia and Turkey over the Persian loundary question is not mere buncombe. Sir Edward Grey, the British
foreign minister, is known to regard the developments in that region as nmong the most serious matters before him. The prophets of war fix next spring as the date. There is no mistaking the energetic character of the preparations being made by St. Petersburg and Constantinople to hold what rach thinks its just position in the disputed territory the Turku-Persian boundary. Russia's intenentiou in a dispute that concerns Persia sind Turkey, is ?. result of the Anglo-Rur.sian agreement as to Persia, by the terms of which southern Persia is within the British sphere of influence and northern Persia within the Russian. It is along tue northern frontier that the dispute has arisen, and Russia steps in to save Persia, a weak state, from the myrmidons of Abdul Jlauiid. She will effect her purpose. War Is Courted by Czar. Here am the po.sibilities of a firstclass conflict, though diplomacy has tiot exhausted its resoiiiccs for keeping 'peace. Possibilities become more like probabilities in the light of the willingness of Emperor Nicholas to engage in & foreign adventure in order to distract attention from domestic strife tuid the willingness of Great Britain to pee Abdul Hamid crippled by a costly war. The day is coming fast when Europe must take up the question of the near East the administration of Macedonia with England moving at the head of the procession. The day fs coining when Abdul Haniid will tease to sway the scepter on the Bosporus. Russia's army and treasury are equal to a vigorous campaign ou the Persian frontier and Great Britain, as the protector of southern Persia h:is an interit ill seeing Russia win in the north.
Vaudeville at the Phillips. The management of the New rhillips is hoping that the audience that attends the initial performance, this evening, will be as large as that of last Monday, when more people attended the performance than on any Monday night in months. It is believed that this week's bill is just as deserving and especially so in that it has an act that will appeal to all classes in Reed's acrobatic Boston terriers, said to be the only act of the kind in the world. Trained animals never fail to hold the attention and according to advance reports, this is one. of the very best. There is much else on the bill to recommend it, the program ranging through the entire field of comedy and burlesque juggling, singing and talking, comedy and monologue, illustrated song and motion
pictures.
given Harriet 13eecher Stowe's immortal work. It is said to cost $30,000 to put it on the stage and that scenically it has never been equaled. The east numbers many people, at the head of which is Frank Lee, the prince of black-face character actors and minstrel men. The balance of the company has been selected with special care, and it is said to be unsurpassed since the days of Newton Gothold, Stockwell and E.va Miller. Many bright specialties enliven the scenes.
HUNDREDS
OF
THEATERS CLOSED Five Cent Attractions Forced To Stop.
"A Pair of Country Kids." Among the many attractions Manager Swisher has booked at the Gennett for the season none gives better promise of being a distinct novelty than "A Pair of Country Kids" that will appear tonight. This new rural comedy drama has been built on entirely new lines and as true to nature as stagecraft will permit and as this is the day of the scenic: artist and the stage artisan, we can expect to speud one jolly night in the country and laugh and romp with, the kids and their merry company.
"The Yankee Doodle Boy." In "Bud Hicks, The Yaukee Doodle Boy" which comes to the Gennett Tuesday night, playgoers and music lovers have in store a treat of comedy music, drama and song. The book and lyrics are by Halton Powell, while Cario Portello has supplied the music for the song hits. The production is an elaborate one, the company acceptable both as regards dramatic and vocal ability, and the electrical effects novel.
Over 100 of the 3-cent theatres in Chicago have closed their doors be-
j cause of the advance in the price of films a little matter of 100 per cent i for the moving picture machines.
These nickle theatres have spread
about Chicago like lights in the city at dusk, but it is commonly reported that the manufacturers have effected a combination strong enough to double their prices at one coup. The marvelous "cinametograph," !mutoscope,"' "bioscope," "kinodrome," and other devices have sprung into sudden popularity and disrepute according to the character of their moving pictures, some of which have been summarily suppressed because the patrons of the nickle theatres are largely children. Showmen made sudden fortunes from the inventions but there soon will be several hundred of them in this city, as in all the big cities, who will sadly survey their gilded entrances, their iron clad leases and their idle equipment, and sigh for days and nights of crowded houses.
10 PROPOSE TO A DIFFERENT MAN ONCE A MONTH UNTIL THEY ABE ACCEPTEI
Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 17 Mrs. N. Opersou, a young Chicago widow, has set society talking by organizing a woman's proposal club, the members of which are bound to propose at least once a month to a different man until accepted. Some foremost society girls are said to have already joined and; it is expected that more than a hundred members will be enrolled. No names are given out, as Mrs. Operson has counseled secrecy, saying it would spoil the fun if the men knew when they received proposals that, their fair'woers were members of an organization pledged to take advantages of the opportunities of leap year.
Mrs. Opersou moves in the gaye: circles and is distinguished by her e quisite dress and powers of entertai iuent. Nearly a hundred marriage ble girls gathered with her yesterdr at Levy's for luncheon, where the o ganization was launched and rub agreed to. Each proposal must be sent to tl secretary, accompanied by an affida it. Proposals must be uncond
tional. Acceptances must be promi (
ly reported, accompanied by resign tion and invitations to all members t attend a grand banquet given by th engaged couple. Mrs. Operson is so delighted wit her plan that she has arranged t spend the summer in this city.,

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
"Our New Minister." Deninan Thompson and George AY". Ryder's- "Our New Minister," wil! have one more presentation at the Gennett this season on Thursday, Fob. 0. That this latest product of Messrs. Thompson and Ryder is one to conjure with, is evidenced by the requests of theatrical managers everywhere to book it, for it is one of the few genuine money winners in the theatrical field. Before its first production in New York its managers had only moderate expectations concerning the new piece, but it did that most astonishing of all things, surprised its managers.
"Uncle Tom's Cabin." At the Gennett Feb. 21, matinee and night, we are to have "Uncle Tom's Cabin" on a larger and grander scale than ever before. Win. Kibble's big $.10,000 production is said to be the most pretentious that has ever been
Love or Sea, It Is most reasonable to assume that the uaritime importance of uch countriea as Great Britain and the United Stats is due in a large measure to the intense interest evinced by the people of those countries iu everything relating to nautical affairs. The sea has a special attraction for them, and that attraction manifests itself not only in their naval and mercantile fleets, but also in the passionate devotion with which they enter into all forms of sport aud pastime on the high seas.

(Novel Trio. "Do you like ensemble music?" the city girl asked young Nathan Ilobbs of WiUowby, who was trying to entertain her at the church social. Nathan looked bewildered. "I mean do you enjoy hearing several instruments played together?" asked his new acquaintance, taking condescending pity on his ignorance. "I guess I do," said Nathan, brightening at once and speaking with enthusiasm. "Say, you just wait till you hear Etta Willis on the organ with Ed Holmes playing the harmonica and Sadie James the Mnnlf It's great'"

The term "frozen music" as applied to the Gothic cathedrals of the old world originated with Frederick Schlegel, the Germun critic and philosopher.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles A Richmond Citizen Shows How to Cure Them. Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright's disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Richmond people testify to permanent cures. Enoch Cromer, living at 221 North 19th street, Richmond, Ind., says: "Railroading is said to be hard on the kidneys and the continued jar and jolt of riding ou trains got me into a bad condition. My kidneys became weak and there was inflammation 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 sensations and a general feeling of lassitude aud 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 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

SCENE FROM "THE YANKEE DOODLE BOY' WHICH COMES TO THE GENNETT TUESDAY NIGHT.
Anderson,-Ind., Feb. 17 W. A. Brady, president of the Indiana Union Traction Company, has replied to the petition presented Friday, signed by 1,800 citizens of the twenty-nine cities and towns on the system and asking for arbitration with the strikers. The written reply of President Brady indicates that the company is still firm in its attitude against arbitration. He says that new men will not be discharged in favor of the one-third force which is still striking.
Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 17. "Mei: who talk of war with Japan are public enemies. "The only permanent exclusion possible is by way of co-operating with the Japanese government. "The bill introduced by Congressman Hayes is neither passable nor workable." This is what Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of Stanford university, has to say of the Japanese question. He does not believe there is auy possibility of war; on the contrary, he is of the opinion that good feeling between the Japanese and the white race can be promoted and that they can be made to dwell in harmony. Dr. Jordan came to Los Angeles, and in an interview he declared there was no Japanese situation except that made by talk. The contest between the United States and Japan is a commercial one, he thinks, and victory will go to the country having the most ships and goods to sell.

Right to the Point. Tt was five minutes before noon. The mayor aud the state superintendent had spent an hour talking to the children In an Ohio school, and just be fore the stroke of the gong the chairman of the local school committee was called upon to follow them with an address.

They are earning $35 a month. Beside them Js a timekeeper earning ?55. "At the head of the traia is aa engineer getting 3100, and over him is a superintendent getting $200.

Hazelton, Ind., Feb. 17 School ma'ams of Washington Township, Gibson county, and incidentally some of the sterner wielders of the birch, have passed a resolution to petition for the release of Harry K. Thaw from the hospital for the criminal insane at Matteawan. This action was taken at an institute held at the Mt. Olympus High School building. Furthermore, the teachers took occasion to denounce such men as Stanford White and to commend his killing by Thaw as an act of humanity. The petition will be forwarded to the officials of Kings County, New York. The entire Thaw case was reviewed at the meeting. Fair teachers of tender years made heated speeches and had little trouble in winning over the men who were present. The resolution to demand Thaw's release was passed without a dissenting vote.

The Twilight Of Ufe. The muscles of the stomach in old are are not as strong- or active as in youth and in consequence oid people nre very subject to constipation and indigestion. Many seldom have bowel movement without artificial aid. Many, also, have unpleasant eructations of fas from the stomach after eatto?. All this can be avoided by the use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup- Pepsin, which permanently reeolates the bowels so that paissees come naturally, and so strengthens the stomach that toed is digested without discomfort.
