PERMANENT CURE OF CHILLs AND FE.
YER, DUMB AGUE, OR ANY FORM
OF INTERMITTENT FEVERi
The Greatest discovery Of the Age !
FOR THE


VNHERE are no diseases so debilitating in
j their effects upon the constitution as the
above, and none more difficult to cure by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect a cure In cases Of the long
est standing, as we'll as prove a preventive In
the forming stages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, they act witlp certainty on the dis
ease, totally eradicating It from the system,
and preventing return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's 3
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills in any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Their Reputation Is Established. - Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
There is no Risk IN Taking Them. - They
contain nothing injurious, and, therefore, cause
none of those lingering diseases SO often the re-
suit of the many nostrums Of the day. Physi-
clans recommend them as far superior to Qui-
nine, or any other known remedy, for they leave
the system in a healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of a relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. - The
genuine are put up in square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders''
stamped on the lid, and the signature of
"Thompson 81 Crawford" on the wrapper
No others can possibly be genuine.

Gg- But short time ago a very prepos-
sessing and intelligent girl as was suppos-
ed, applied for and secured situation in
one of the knitting mills at Little Falls, N.
Y, under the name of Bertha Rollins
She was quite reticent in her department,
though of an apparently agreeable DISPOSE
tion. Seven young men of the village had
become smitten with Bertha, and, when
she announced her intention of quitting
the village, these young men grew melan-
choly. But Bertha left. She went to Of
sego and there secured situation in a
factory, but her manners at once created
suspicion, and it was found, after care
fully prepared plan, that Bertha Rollins
was Henry Wallace, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
who had been playing "girl" for year or
two past very successfully, having for sew
eral months been in the employment of
cencert-saloon proprietor as waiter GIRL
Wallace said he assumed the role of girl
because he could obtain employment, and
in male attire he could not.

Thrilling Balloon Ascension.

A letter from Reading, Pa, gives thrill
ling account of the ascent John Shearer,
eronaut, few days ago, on trapeze bar
attached to balloon, the globe containing
twenty thousand cubic feet Of gas. Just
as the balloon assembled, rain storm COM
menced, followed by terrific gale of rain
and snow. Shearer was clad in scant cir
Gus dress, and must have been nearly
frozen. On striking a height of five thou
sand feet above sea level, the balloon sped
northeast at frightful rate of speed, the
snow falling all the time. He managed
to pull the valve rope, and after breaking
the rope and anchor, landed in safety,
though badly-bruised.

Ihe Game he didn't understand
The best poker hand we ever heard Of
was held by old Weasel the other night
Weasel didn't know much about poker
but he wanted to learn, and every now and
then (the party was playing euchre) he
would show his cards and ask ifthat wasn't
good hand. Once or twice he bet, but
somebody always beat him, because he
knew so little about the game. After a
while, as Weasel was dealing and when he
had thrown three cards around to
each one, he stopped and looked at his
three. He looked good while Then he
got excited.
Now know this is a good hand. I've
learned something about poker in the last
two hours, and I'll bet $25 on these three
cards. It's just the best hand l ever
saw"
Jones had beaten Weasel on this sort of
banter already, and so he took up his
cards. He had three aces-a pretty good
hand for three cards. Nobody could have
full of fours, and his threes were the
biggest in the deck. He bent plying
eye on old Weasel, and said &C. think I've
got something pretty good here, but l
couldn't bet less than $50 on it. We're
not playing poker, you know, and these
outside issues are irregular bet $50"
"Done!" said old Weasel "what have
you got? ?''
They put up their money, and then
Jones showed his hand.
Here's three aces, you old mutton
head You can't beat that with any three
cards on earth. You ought to know bet
ter than to-
"Hold on, " cried old Weasel, throwing
down the king, ten, and seven of hearts.
"That's flush, amt it? When you've
got all of a suit that's flush, believe :;
and flush always beats threes. l don't
know much about poker, but it seems to
me I've got the best hand out ofjail."
Jones had forgotten about flushes. In,
fact the whole party rather underrated old
Weasel, because he was a religious man
and not supposed to know anything about
cards. But they kept a very watchful eye
on him after that, and when he spoke of
poker hands they all insisted on sticking to
the game they were playing.

esB- A wonderful cave has been discover
ed near Pine Grove, California. Three men
named Stokes, Jameson, and Mason ex-
plored it for mile and quarter They
found chambers beautifully decorated with
stalactites and stalagmites, and stream
of water leaping from the roof into an ap-
parently bottomless pit F; also hot spring
emitting sulphurous puffs of steam. In an
other chamber the walls and rocks were
highly magnetic. One of the party who
carried hatchet had it suddenly wrested
from him by a magnetic rock near which
he passed, and the combined strength of
the party was unable to detach it, Anoth-
er who had on miners boots, the soles of
which were filed with nails, could walk
with difficulty, and happened to step upon
a portion of the floor unusually magnetic,
found himself suddenly affixed thereto and
unable to move. He was compelled to
leave his boots there.

CHRISTMAS

We take great pleasure this week in
announcing TO the friends and admirers
Of the beautiful and talented Mrs. Scott
Siddons wno is TO be with us on n irist-
mas night, Dec. 25th, of all nightsiin the
year that after considerable fnanciering
and extra expense, Mr.. Lee has secured
the additional attraction of the young
Seraphael Master Henry Walker), the
musical protege of Mrs 8ddons, and in
troduced by her one year ago; with such
ectdt and success in the principal cities Of
Europe and America. That he is the
musical prodigy of the age is conceded
everywhere and the fact that he is but
twelve years old adds to the interest that
surrounds this young phenomenon. Mr..
Lee has been very fortunate in securing
this double attraction which will make
our Christmas entertainment one of the
most refined and delightful that has ever
been offered to the people of Canton.
The two dramatic treats we have enjoyed
this season, have but Whetted our appe-
tites Tor more. Canton has shown that
she can and does appreciate first-class en-
tertainments.
Notwithstanding the added presence
Ol mhsteI walker, the rates OF admission
will be the same as on the former appear
ance of Mrs. Siddons in our cita.
To give our readers some idea of the
remarkable genius of Master Walker, we
append short sketch of his career pre-
vious to his appearance before American
audiences. Master Walker was the pu-
pill of Sir Sterndal Bennett, Mrs. Doc D.

a good artist and deserving of the success
which we hope he will meet with.
Miss Mary Rawson, late of a James

query arises: what will become Of Miss
Mary now2
7. F. Kirk, director of the G. A. r.
band, is absent in Pittsburgh, where he
has two classes in brass music under his
charge. We are glad to notice the inn
provement in the accents, made by our
excellent band since it has been under his
dictatorship. Better bands are few in
this country, and with Kirk as director
and Fiala as leader ii is destined to be-
come still more popular.
We are under obligations TO George

Messrs. Healy & Rowe's shooting gal
lcry in the Hane block, is still in success
full operation. Mr.. Rowe is one of the
finest marksmen we have ever seen. We
have seen him stick a common pin on
box, and at a distance of about a rod
shoot and strike the pin; he also lays a
small shot on the floor, and from an equal
distance, shoots and knocks it away but
the most remarkable thing he does in
the way of craftsmanship, is to shoot and
divide the ball by hitting the edge of
knife blade with it. Those who wish to
enjoy themselves can find no suTer way
than to call at the shooting gallery and
try their ability as shootists.
