NAT GOODWIN ON SATURDAY.

Nat Goodwin's new comedy, 1.-The
Nominee" will be seen at the Opera
House on Saturday. The Chicago Jour
nal says:-Nat Goodwin'S new comedy,
''The Nominee, Is sure TO be great
success. 1t has all the elements neces-
sary to attract public attention, and is
strikingly adapted TO his peculiarly orig
inal as well as brilliantly artistic style.
The piece hal its first really serious pro-
duction last night at Hooley's Theater,
which was packed with the extremely
popular aud eyer-welcOme comedians
Chicago friends. That IL won their I'M
qualified commentator and scored a
pronounced hit was forcibly impressed
upon every ones mind.
EMERsoN's CONCERT.
Walter Emerson who heads the excel
lent company which bears his name has
associated with him a competent array
of artists. The concert next Tuesday
evening, in the Opera House, will be an
event long to be remembered by our
music-loying citizens. The following
comment is taken from the Amfrtc M
Musician; Mr.. Walter Emerson, for
beauty and volume OF tone, marvellous
execution, artistic phrasing AMI inter
probation, stands in the front rank OF
solo performers upon this instrument.
He does not play the cOrnet, but seems
to breathe into it the very breath OF life,
making it sing with all the fire and
pathos of the human voice and soul.
SEA OF ICE"
The Melville Company is nightly in
creasing it's popularity. A large house
witnessed the thrilling romantic drama,
.'Sea of Ice," last night. This is one OF
the old time plays that charmed our
forefathers and our great-grandmothers
years and years ago, still IL cannot De
termed q theatrical chestnut, as 1t Is
seldom seen nowadays. The "Sea OF
Ice" is indeed refreshing. The story Is
interesting from beginning to end, ana
is clothed in beautiful language. Miss
Ida Melville in the difficult character OF
Ocarita did some excellent work. The
breaking up OF the icebergs in the
second act proved strong scenic fes-
tnre. Tonight a new comedy drama
.Zeh. the Clodhoppsr" will be present
ed. and will please those who wish a
hearty laugh. "Sea OF Ice" will be the
bin Saturday matinee.

tranS-MissiSSipDi
congress

THE trans-Mississippi congress
which was in session at Omaha last
week, declared in favor of free coin
age of the home production of silver.
Inasmuch as the law of 1890 provides
for the purchase of quantity silver
about equal to the home production,
for which silver certificates are issued,
and as these certificates are much
handler to carry then the coin would
be, it is hard to see what advantage
would be gained by following out the
wishes of the gentlemen who met at
Omaha.

RARE OPPORTUNITIES.
What the South Has to Offer the
HOmeseeker
Rich Lands at Low Figures-Early
Crops at Fancy Prices.

A certain small town in Louisiana,
and another in Mississippi, on the
line of the Illinois Central r. r. but
a few years ago had absolutely no
commercial Importance, and from
them not dollars worth of produce
was sold to a distant market. This
season, however, it has required from
one of them, an entire fruit refrigera-
tor car every day for six weeks to
transport it's early Crops to the North
ern markets, while from ten to TWEEN
ty car loads per day of vegetables
were shipped during the season from
the other. This is but single illus
forcible one that could be presented,
of the rapid development of certain
sections of the South, in a profitable
agricultural section. There are many
localities in that direction, particul-
arly in Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana, on or near the line of the
Illinois Central Railroad, that, al
though, as yet undeveloped, are cap
able of easy cultivation, and will grow
the finest kind of fruit and vegetables.
Lands well adapted to growing early
strawberries and grapes, Of quality to
bring fancy prices in the market, can
be obtained there very cheap-in some
instances as low as 81 per acre. The
availability of the Illinois Central fast
fruit and vegetable trains for sending
the crops to profitable markets adds
but final weight to the security of its
being a profitable enterprise to engage
in the development of these lands

Nearly every pattern of 5A Horse
Blanket is initiated in color and
style. In most cases the imitation
looks just as good as the genuine,
but it Aasnt tile sclyb threads, and
SO lacks strength, and while it sells
Ior only a little less than the genu-
me it isn't worth one-half as much.
The fact that "a Horse Blankets
are copied is strong evidence
that they are THE STANDARD,
and every buyer should see that

zone reason why city people are 50 much
more afflicted with illness than country
people," said a leading physician recently,
'is because of the difference in their habits
of eating. Your countryman eats a hearty
breakfast before in the morning. He
eats a hearty Inner at moo At 6 o'clock
he takes a light supper rests for a couple
Of hours or more and goes to bed to sleep
and recuperate. There is nothing like
sleep TO give renewed energy to the physi-
cal man. Your city man gets his breakfast
at 8 to 9 O'Clock. 1t is a heavy breakfast,
ally heavy. II he has been late in getting
up he bolts his food and PUSHES of to his of
flee, with his stomach struggling to get the
hest of the chunks OF stuff he has flung
into it. At 10 or l o'clock he bolts a lunch
meats, pastry and fruits and liquor in
such conglomeration as to make his poor
stomach howl with anguish.
Then at 9 O'Clock he eats an enormous
course dinner, washes it down with two or
three kinds of wine, coffee and liquors. He
has no time to rest afterward, but rushes
of to the theatre, and when he leaves the
theatre he sits down to a midnight supper
that drives his poor stomach wild again.
He rolls into bed at l or 2 O'Clock and won
ders why he cannot sleep. There are a few
old fashioned men in New York who still
insist on the country habit of eating din
ner in the middle of the day and supper at
o. 1 know some Of them, and they haven't
an ache or a pain. But the other fellows
are troubled with headaches, kidney
troubles, liver difficulties and all sorts of
disorders. "-NewSYork Press.
