The Drama.
PHILIP LENT,
CitY CLERK.

On Saturday evening last, A. O. Miller. s
Athenecm company opened in Simmons Hall
in the sensational drama of the ''Hidden
Hand" and owing to want Of proper no.
tice, the audience was but slim. On Monday
and Tuesday evenings the troupe presented
the admirable plays Of "Our American Cons
in and the "Octoroon'' in a very SUPERIOR
manner, fully sustaining the excellent repute-
ton which the company bears. We dislike TO
individualize merit where all did SO well INT
as some of the performers are entire stran-
ger to the Kenosha public, it is but right
that they should receive welcome notice
at our hands. Mr.. T. L. Kent is hirhIv
polished actor of an established metropoli-
tan reputation, and his performance of Abel
Murcott and Jacob McClosky, exhibited ar.
tistic ability that won universal annlause
and gave him favorite's place with our plav-
goers. Mr.. 81. Rees Davis. also o STRANGER
among US, rendered the difficult roles Of Lord
Dundreary and Salem Scudder in a bioh1v
satisfactory and correct manner, and Mr..
simcoe Lee as Binney and the big iniu,a Wah.
notice, displayed Versatility rarely exceeded
in the delineation Of characteristics nersono.
tions were capital, Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. @.
Miller in their representations they were as
we haYe ever found them true to life. and
that excellence we admired IN them last year
is still forcibly depicted in them this. Miss
Fannie Peak our whilom favorite of the nast
season, still holds her place in our estimation.
She is as pretty and piq@ant as ever. Messrs.
Devlm, Hunter and Murphy, our old acouain-
tances fill their several characters with cred.
it. The pieces selected are mostly new to
this audience and are highly entertaining.
but we regret that so far the patronage be-
slowed on the troupe has not been commen-
surate with it's desert.

CURE OF CATARRH

My method Of practice for the cure of Ca.
tarrh embraces the thorough topical medica.
ton of the affected regions by a most ingeni.
Gus and painless process, by which every part
of the diseased mucous membrane can be ef
fectively subjected to the most perfect and
complete remedial control.
Not only am enabled by my plan of treat
ment to bring any and every medical solution
TO act directly upon the very seat of the dis
ease, but the piecsS, also allows the medica-
ment employed to be kept in contact with the
affected surface sufficiently long to exercise
its full curative power. lo
The striking advantages of my method ex-
hibit themselves in the prompt and immedi-
ate benefit that follows troa tment. Frequent.
ly, after the very first application, the. fetol
OF the purulent nasal secretion is removed
breath is materially purified, and sensible re-
lief from other troublesome symptoms
Is experienced. BY degrees the discharge
dimlnlshes, irritation Is allayed, chronic in
tlammati on Is subdued, alterations are made
to heal, until finally we succeed in re-estab
fishing perfectly healthy surface, and nor
mai condition Of the parts affected 81
an all cases of catarrh where the system
suffers from thedeleterlous effects of scrofula,
or other itiated condition of the blood, the
local treatment is invariably conjoined with
constitutional remedies. While, in such ca.
Eses. the former Is applied to correct the I'M
healthy local action and heal the indamed
and liberated surface, the latter is employed
to apply the ak at the root of the cause from
whence the local disease has grown.
