dison, Wis., Jan. 1. Returning
m the holiday recess after a two
kg' session of congress, Senator R.
La Follette poured out the vials of mighty wrath upon the head of
cretary of Interior Ballinger, in an
icle under the caption: "Is this Con-
piracy?" The senator, In viarlolic
anguage, characterizes the program
u a plan "devised to shield the guilty
ind , aid a gigantic conspiracy to deiraud the public." Ballinger's delayfed request for an investigation of the vcharges made against him is unsparingly denounced by Senator LaFollette
s a probable scheme between Aldrich
and Cannon to exonerate Ballinger,
hite washed a year ago. Senator La
bo was opposed to investigating Bal-
'inger until the leading naoers beean

it was too mucn, says senator La
Follette in his magazine.

"Hurried conferences were reported.
Something had to be done and done at ' nce. Public attention must, if poslible, be diverted. The forestry offi
cials, feared because too well informed and too devoted to public inteiest must be attacked and discredited since ;hey could not be silenced.
I Program Was Changed.

possible to make the Forestry Service seem the real and only wrong doer in this attempt on the part of the interests to secure control of the Alaskan
coal fields.

"The control of committee appointments is under the domination of Aldrichism in the Senate and Cannonism in the House. No investigation conducted by committees named by this authority can possibly command public confidence. Because of this well understood situation no progressive

COLOSSUS OF RHODES.
At the Murray. The fact that DeFur and E&tes comedy sketch artist comes here from Columbus, Ohio, where they appeared at the Keith and of whom the papers had much to say in commendation indicates that Murray's theater will be the popular place this week for theater goers. The Sunny South is the headliner this week and a novel and singing production, introducing scenes from the land of cotton, 10 colored performers take part led by the famous dancing and singing duo-Johnson and Wells. Major O'Laughlin. the original juggling musketeer and bator twirler in an entirely novel act with the latest motion pictures make up a big program for the week's entertainment.
1 Blanden Players. The Blanden Players will give their farewell performance at the Gennett theater tonight in "Killarney." Lo
cal theater goers will be sorry to lose
Mr. Blanden and his associates as his engagement has been a noteworthy one and a hearty welcome will always await him if we are to be fortunate enough to have a return engagement at a later period.
"Daniel Boone." The production of "Daniel Boone on the Trail," which comes to the Gennett theater on Tuesday evening, is one replete with scenic equipment.
bringing the atmosphere of the Western Wilderness at the time of our Pioneer Forefathers vividly before us. The Company carries a pack of Siberian wolves and several full-blooded Indians.
Howe's Pictures. Nothing short of actual reality can compare with Lyman H. Howe's new program at the Gennett on Thursday, Dec. 6. Those who will accompany him on his 30th semi-annual tour will enjoy the best possible substitute for a real trip through Canada, the Rockies, the Gorge du Var, France, and a lightning tour of Europe. They will inspect the ice palace at Montreal, join in the Winter Carnival, and watch the spirited skating races, toboganning, etc. Then go into the fighting top of a battleship where ordinary tourists are forbidden and watch the big guns.
"Mary's Larr.b." Richard Carle and "'Mary's Lamb" comes to the Gennett next Wednesday Jan. 5th, matinee and night. In this lively musical gambol, Mr. Carle is said to be at his best. The play enjoyed a run of three months in New York and was presented for two long engagements in Chicago. Mr. Carle, who has the leading role of a henpecked husband, has the support of a big and capable company, including a chorus of exceptionally pretty girls.

LONDON THEATERS.
The Ordeal of Getting Past the Aged Ticket Taker. The tirst difference I always tiud between going to the play iu Loudon and in New York is that In New York the man who has paid for a scat is made to feel that he is a patron of the house, while in London he Is greeted by the staff of the theater uot exactly as an intruder, but as a necessary evil. They appreciate that au audience Is a necessary evil, but sooner than have one they would almost prefer to close the house. In London for that Importantly strategic outpoft of ticket taker an old man of eighty is always employed. You think this is accidenL but it la not. Old age naturally suggests failing eyesight, and when he keeps you waiting in the foyer while he examines your ticket and assures himself that it is not a laundry bill or n motor bus receipt you attribute the delay to his old eyes. But in detaining you he has a motive. Standing at his elbow, scowling darkly, there always is another man. apparently a plain clothes out from Scotland Yard, uncomfortably disguised in evening dress. And while the aged ticket taker pretends to scrunitlze your ticket the lookout man scans you. You cannot escape his eye He never sleeps. No American, no matter how reckless, can hope to pass that man with a concealed bomb or a revolver or wearing a white tie with a dinner coat. Collier's.

Flies at Sea. The finding of flies and butterflies a long way out at sea is perhaps to most readers a fact not very well known. A recent traveler in the tropics relates thr.t when thirty miles out from land a plague of files overtook the vessel on which he was steaming. The cabin was so full of them thnt the beams were blackened. Com moil iiliicU hoiisefllea they were for the most part. with, however, a good sprinkling of large green flies. Where they could have come from was a mystery, but they were a terrible nuisance, and. although those on board swept off hundreds in a net, their numbers were not sensibly diminished. Another singular circumstance was that, although no land was In sight, large dragon flies repeatedly flew across the ship, and a large dark butterfly was observed to flit across in the direction of the nearest land, quite thirty miles away, without stopping to rest on the vessel at all.

Both Rather rlippant. There Is a curious parallelism between two stories told respectively of the late Mr. Spurgeon and of Dean Swift. Mr. Spurgeon on bearing of the devastation wrought by an earthquake In Essex merely remarked. "I am glad to bear that my county is moving at Inst The dean of St. Patrick's. Dublin, was watching with a friend the roof of a building on which several men were at work fixing slates. Suddenly one of the men vanished. Thereupon the dean turned to bis companion and said. "I like to see a mau go quickly through his work."
More than $60,000,000 worth of American merchandise was carried by rail across the isthmuses of Panama and Tehuantepec in the fiscal year 1909, and in the calendar year the total will probably reach $75,000,000 in value.

represented Phoebus, the national del-'
ty of the RhodhiBS. It was begun by Chares, a pupil of Lyelppus. the sculptor, and was completed by Laches 23 B. C The popular belief Is that It stood aatrkle the harbor of Rhodes, that it was 106 feet hbjch and that ships could easily sail between Its legs. Pliny said that few men could claap Its thumb. It was cast on metal plates, afterward jolaed together, and this process occupied twelve years. In the interior was a spiral staircase reaching lato its head, and la a great mirror suspended to Its neck were reflected the coast of Syria and the ships sailing to Egypt. After it had stood for sixty-four years this colossus was overthrown by an earthquake, and Its remains lay on the shore for 923 years that Is. until A. D. G72 when they were sold by the Saracens to a dealer. The original
cost was 300 talents about $it,0O0.U00 4
and it Is not too much to say that a similar image might be constructed now in oue-fourtb of the time and at one-third of the original cost. Rhodes,

port was adorned with 1.000 colossal statues of the sun.
