There are two scenes in it, though, where the affection of the girl whose life has been such a rough one comes to the surface. The first where Nance, after her successful debut on the stage, is surprised in her room by the entrance of Dorgan as she Is contemplating the bouquet thrown to her by an admirer, will stir the heart.

Thrilling situations abound, situations legitimately thrilling, made so by the art of the author and the skill of the director and the fine acting of the players. Artist of High Rank Just at this time the big festivals of the country are holding the attention of the music world, and the fact that the most pretentious festivals are engaging the artists who have been selected to appear as soloists with the Wichita Symphony orchestra during they will have opportunity to hear six artists of the very first rank, if the orchestra is established in this city for the coming season.

Several safety devices have been installed that have innovations that appeal to the swimmers. Arrangements for private bathing can be made at i i -mn nme ny consulting Manager cuttle. There Is no admission at the gate to reach the natatorium In the daytime. A Lucky Strike. Two years ago T.

P. Hayes, a plumber of this city, was Impressed with the Idea that he ought to buy a home instead of renting. Not having very much money to spare and hearing that The Hartford Western Land company of this city were selling homes on terms to suit the purchaser, he went to them and bought a six-room zottage on the corner of Fifteenth and North St. Francis. About a year ago, noticing that his trees were dying, he made some quiet investigation and found it was due to gas underneath the ground, which he discovered by boring a hole.

In his business of boring underneath the pavements for water pipe, he has become quite expert In boring a seasonable distance. In boring the ground to ascertain his trouble, he found this gas, and not having any spare funds, he capped that hole and has kept the secret this past year. Lately he was more firmly Im pressed than ever that he had better do something to develop it, on account of much discussion in the paper about finding oil and gas, that he has bored two other holes, 20 and 30 feet deep, all three of which being on the north side of his property. He 'has found gas in every one of them, one of which has been burning night and day for the last two -days. The other hole will burn only when air is blown into it.

and will burn continuously as long as the air Is blown in it. Of course, it has to be started by a lighted match being thrown in It. The strange fact in connection with It is, the Hartford company when It built this house, put In a driven well about 4t or 50 feet away from this gas well, which was used for water for the house. The same company built most all of the cast front houses in the same block, and at each one a driven well was put in for household use, but the strangest fact in connection with the whole matter is that where this gas is, no water Is found. This Is a rplendld example of what a purchaser of small means can do even now.

When the real estate men have been insisting this is the" time to buy, before high prices set In. Mr. Hayes is to be congratulated, as he is amply protected under his contract with the company and simply has to keep up his payments, and if gas is found in sufficient volume he will be worth a million dollars. Furthermore, It is of the utmost interest to every citizen in Wichita as we will all share to a certain extent In thebeneflts. Mr.

Hayes has also agreed to go with Mr. Robertson, one of the managers of the Hartford to a location on College Hill, where this company sold a house on similar terms, and where oil was discovered about a year ago. He has agreed to sink a pipe to the bottom of 'this well, which was bored tor water at that time, and draw up sample of the oil. This oil well has Leen capped and not developed for oil on account of the purchaser of the ontract not having sufficient means to develop it. This same company is also interested in and a stockholder in the new oil 'and gas company which is headed by Whitney Tucker of this city.

Mr. Robertson is one of those who thproughly believes oil and gas Is near the city If we will develop the leads that nature has given.

In place of the usual tabloid, five acts of vaudeville will be offered both the first and last half of the week. Head- Jng the bill for tomorrow's matinee is the Three Leightons, two members of which composed "Steamboat Bill" and "Casey Jones." They are clever comedians, singers and dancers, and their sketch, Party of the Second rart," Is novel and very amusing. All songs sung in their act are of their own composition. The Three Flying Kays offer an act with many new and distinct features. Aerial work of an amazing nature performed In perfect accord keeps the audience bewildered.

One difficult feat after another is presented with great rapidity. "Kings of Mirth and Melody" is the tltl given Millard, Kennedy and Christie. They introduce a series of new songs and comedy stunts that have the ring of originality. The Morretta sisters have pleased audiences with their singing and instrumental act that is reputed a great deal better than the usual cabaret feature.
