II there was ever more bald and
palpablo fraud than the So prize scheme
for the bcIt local topical verse offered,
by tho farce at the Opera House tho
last two nights, It has escaped public
attention. In response TO tho offer
number OF bona tidc local verses were
sent in, yet tho prize was awarded
to the following chestnut:
Now they sgy that there's nothing like connu'
bal bliss:
There's nothing In It, nothing In It.
Tint worlds have been conquered BY one llttle
There's nothing In Il, nothing init;
One year ago InatrllnOny sought,

1t was announced from the stage that
"jamcs Dobbins' had sent in this
verse and won the prize. How Mr..
Winnctt or any member OF his compa-
ny knew that the gontlcman's name was

sent down stairs to IN lNTELLIGENcEI

How did Mr.. Winnet know that his
name was not Joseph?
The audience OF about sixty persons
at the Opera House last night was scan-
ned and every person in it identified,
and there was nobody there named
Dobb!ns. Tho manager OF the company
simply stopped so low rs TO cheat some
body out oil So after getting all tho nd
vertising. Manager Ricstcr, OF the
Opera House, was very hot about the
apparent swindlc last night. llo said ii

been paid the S. he would like to know
him, and would be obliged ii lie would
call at the Opera House office, while ii
anybody really sent in this verse and
had not been paid tho money, he can
get it by calling at the Opera House
office this morning. Ii necessary Mr..
Ricster will pay it out OF his own pock-

last night, n question OF $, but one OF
principle. The verse TO which it was
claimed that the prize was awarded was
neither new nor local. 1t was not sent
in by anybody. The fact is that the

Robert aiantcu rs othel!o.

A large and apprcciative audience
witnessed the production OF "Othello"
at Miners theatcr on Saturday night.
Robert Mante!ls Othelio was strong and
effective conception. and it was admir-
ably sustained from the first to the last
scene. In the petition his elocution
was graceful, and i'll the duel scene he
was intensely dramatic. In the par
oxysms OF jealousy he reminded us OF
Salyini, and he spoke the words
"Othello's occupations gone" with a
pathetic despair that touched the audi
cncc. His scenes with Iago and BESIDE
mena were excellent in mingled passion,
truthfulness, jealousy, love and tender
ness. M0ntcll made a decided hit in
every act. Ho has genius and pic
turesque stage presence, and he shines
as one OF the brightest Shakesperian
stars.-Mewark Journal. Mr.. Mantcll

Neald's friend telephoned 10 his wife
ut Moundsville that he had been hurt,
and she came up on the evening train.
About o'clock last night DR.. Spragg,
who had tried to persuade her not to
see her husband yet, yielded to her i'm
portunitics, and she was taken 10 the
police headquarters and showninto the
room where he still lay unconscious.
1t had been impressed upon her that
any violent expression OF her feelings
might injure her husbands chances OF
recovery, and she tried bravely to avoid
giving way TO her emotions, and her
sorrow was 81! tho more impressive for
that reason.
Drs. Spragg, McGrail and Wilson ex-
aminGd the man late in tho afternoon,
and could not give any hope OF his re-
covery. 1t was found necessary to per-
form minor surgical operation to re-
Lievo the swelling from one OF the
wounds, and this was done, but it did
not have the effect OF restoring Neald to

Home Treatment for Many of
Them Which Should be Re-
mem pered.

II troubled with headache, try the
simultaneous application of hot water
to the feet and back OF the neck.
Asthma may be greatly relieved by
soaking blotting or tissue paper in
strong sallpetre water, dry ii, then burn
at night ia the sleeping-roon.
The following is good liniment for
chilblains; One ounce of camphnr
gum, four fluid ounces of olive oil.
Dissolve together by a gentle heat, aud
apply to the afflicted parts.
For cut take powdered resin,
pound it very fine, and spread or sift
1t over the cut; wrap piece OF soft
linen around 1t, and wet it in cold
water, quite often, This will prevent
inflammation and soreness
If poison has been accidentally
swallowed, Instantly drink pint of
warm water in which has been stirred
teaspoonful of salt and one Or tse
OF mustard. A half glass of sweet
Oil will render many poisons harmless.
There are many SIMPLE ard effective
disinfectants, among which are: coffee
pounded and burned on an iron plate,
sugar burned on hot Goals, vinegar
boiled with myrrh and sprinkled on
the floor and furniture of sick room.
For severe hemorrhage from the
nose, try holding the arms at the pa
tient up over The head Tor five min.
utes at time. A small piece of ice

give relief.
A very good shampoo is made of

rum and lukewarm water. The salts

pear after few days.
An excellent cough mixture is COM
posed of the following: One pound OF
figs Chopped fine), one pound of loaf
sugar, one pint OF Jamaica rum poured
over the figs and sugar. Let ii stand
12 hours, then strain and bottle. A

When you feel the prcking pain on

put in small bag of muslin and lald
over the eyelld. Moislen again as it
dries. This, If used before the sly gets
well under way, will generally drive ii

the heartiness and warmth OF the reception

bright future before them and very satisfactory
results for their proposed starring tour. This
comedy drama is one of those strange jumbles
which the brain of clever playwright may
evolve during moments when humor and fun
are out on holiday. Ii teens with the most
amusing rencontres between the two detectives
whose names form the title, and while bril-
liant side play of episode, escapade and adyen-
ture keeps the entire piece in constant lumi-
nence, there is an interesting plot whose I'M
raveling Is never lost sight of in
even the greatest laughing fits of
the audience. OF last nights presentation
scarcely too much can be said in praise. The
laughter which followed the witty sallies and
comical actions of the principals was sufficient
evidence of the good will and approval
Of those present The general ex-
cellence of the performance was
warmly commended by competent critics and
old-time patrons of this popular resort. Messrs.
Williams and Morris are a success pure and
simple in snip and Tuck" and their
many friends in Seattle congratulate them

wishing for them a most successful season.
