The Waterloo Democrat speaks of
the opening of the new Opera house at
that place last Thursday evening with
John T. Kelly, of Milwaukee, as "a
grand success" and says of the enter
tainment:
'eThe dramatic readings of Prof. John
T. Kelly, were given in most excel
lent manner, and demonstrated that he
is rare artist in holding up the mirror
of nature before an audience. The rem
dition of the "Foxes of the Scriptures, -
Ryan's "Green Flag" and aSmith's
visit to Boston," were exceptionally
fine, and deserved the hearty encores
which they received"
Mr.. Kelly will give readings at Con-
cordia Opera house, Tuesday evening,

Still Another.

A large crowd Of enthusiastic Demo.
Gratis met in Jobe's Opera House last
Saturday night and nominated a
straight Democratic municipal ticket.
The convention ratified the nomina-
ton Iof Ike T. lobe for Mayor and
Sam Simoox, H. II. Carr and W. A.
Dickinson for Aldermen, and nominal
ed J. w. Hunter, j. j. Adams, Eli
McNees and E. S. Wolfe as additional
Aldermen This is a good ticket,
Composed of good men and the inter-
ests of Johnson City would not suffer
in their hands. Mr.. J. J. Adams pre-.
sided over the covention with fairness
and impartiality, and NJ. l. Gump act
ed acceptably as Secretary. A few
Democrats attended the meeting who
were in favor of supporting the citi-
zens ticket but they were voted down
on every proposition, and finally, after
trying to break up the convention
left in disgust, and the further proceed
ings of the meeting were finished in
an orderly manner. The action o
the Democrats in putting out
straight ticket was made necessary by
the Republicans refusing to stand b.
the "citizens ticket" and by nominal
ing a ticket OF their own. There ar
now three tickets in the field, but it j
evident that all OF the citizens ticke
will not be elected. 1t would, perhap;
have been better to have made squar
political fight in the outset. ~

ShreMd Advertisers.

Readers of the newspapers OF the |
day cannot fail to be impressed with
the TACT that the modern advertiser is
progressive,
He is compelled to be, else COMPETE
tors more active in the invention Of
new advertising devices, will outstrip
him in public favor.
The value of printers ink judicious-
ly and scientifically employed cannot
be overestimated !; it is the medium
whereby a meritorious discovery is
raised from local fame to position in
the public esteem. Hence the col
umns Of the newspapers are daily us
ed by hosts of advertisers and in the
competition which is induled in to at
tain the desired end, the readers is of
tentimes amused.
The greatest OF American advertis-
ers, and it may as we'll be said in the
world, is H. H. Warner OF Rochester,
N. Y, whose name has been made ev-
erywhere familiar in connection with
Warmers Sale Cure, widely advertised
because of its merit IN the prevention
aud cure OF kidney diseases.
By printers ink this great discovery
has achieved worldwide popularity
and thousands feel grateful for the
knowledge thus acquired of this great
est OF modern remedies.
Furthermore, the public has been
taught that disorders of the lungs
brains, heart and liver which hitherto
been regarded treated by the PROBES
sion as distinctive diseases are not 81
} in fact, but are the attending symp
toms OF disease of the kidneys; there
fore, the consumptive, apoplectic, tn
: paralytic, and the sufferer from nerv
GUS disorders can be restored to healtl
by Warmers Safe Cure, which will re
Il move the true cause of those disorder
