THERE is NO DANGER IN IT.

The best recommendation that z
popular remedy can present is that Il
is safe in the hands of children. When,
we consider how many little ones are
injured every year by finding the med.
icine bottle and taking an overdose, 4
remedy that contains no poison Is
alone entitled to be called a great
household medicine. That this is the
case with Reds German Cough and
Kidney Cure, the following Is proof:

Gentlemen We have sold Reds Ger
man Cough and Kidney Cure about two
years and found II to be a good seller, Civ.
ing good satisfaction, and we know that
1t contains no poison, for my little girl
about two years old got hold OF a bottle
and drank half Of 1t and II did not injure
her In the least, but did her good. We
can cheerfully recommend II to the public.

less. Although She May Live For Months.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-In conversa-
ton with a relative of Mrs. Harrison
yesterday as to her condition and pros
poets, DIR. Gardner said:
"The case is without hope. Mrs.
Harrison will never arise from her bed
again. There is however, no telling
when she will die. 1t may come in q
day, a week, a month, or she may live
as long as two years. However, every.
body should be prepared for the worst
my time"
On being asked as to the condition of
the disease DIR. Gardner continued:
"As has been said all along by me, the
imminent, pressing trouble right now
Is her lungs. 1t is the lung trouble
which holds her down and Is dragging
her down."
DIR. Gardeners attention was called to
the fact that Mrs. Scott Lord, Mrs.
Harrison's sister, had died of cancer of
the stomach and that the malady was
thought to be hereditary in her family.
Mrs. Harrison may have cancer Of the
stomach" said DR.. Gardner. Cancer
of the stomach Is not always discover
able, and especially in it's first stages,
but at leastathis is not what is bearing
her down at this time. 1t Is the lung
affection which has now u hold ,4upon
her." "a
No unusual change has taken place.

Be it resolved, BY the Seattle Chamber OF Com

bia, the Snake, the Cowlitz Chehalis Skagit,
Nooksaek and other rivers; for the improvement

ADJUSTMENTS.
A Pleasant Evening.

Those who have read the poem begin
ming: "'Tis midnight's holy hour and
silence now is brooding like gentle spirit
DER the still and pulseless world" will
on Friday night hear Colonel Visscher tell
some very interesting things about the
author of that remarkable poem. Years
ago Visscher was associated with the bril-
liant editor, George D. Prentice, and knew
him intimately. He has also known per-
sonally Henry Faxon, Artemus Ward and
the other noted writer's, concerning whom
he has many humorous stories to tell.
Himself q poet and humorist, Colonel
Visscher is most fascinating man as q
speaker. Gifted with dramatic instinct,
he combines in himself the comedian and
orator. All who like to be entertained in
an admirable and helpful way should not
fail to hear the man who is great as poet,
humorist, orator and soldier.
The fact that Tacoma's best musical
talent has volunteered to assist their
popular townsman, makes Friday even
ing's entertainments one of special interest.
Olof Bull can make the violin tell tale
whose substance is too fragile and tender
to put in language, while Signor Braca-
monte. one of the famous Spanish stu
dents, is most distinguished cello player.
Mrs. Mackinson as soprano singer has
few equals anywhere, and Mr.. Meyers is
equally distinguished as pianist. Their
generous act in helping to make Colonel
Visscher's complimentary benefit most
attractive performance will be appreciated
by the people of the Queen city. An I'M
usually large audience should welcome
them at the Seattle opera-house on Friday
evening

s'Oueen Esther"

Theater-goers will have an opportunity
to enjoy a dramatic treat at the Seattle
opera-house this evening, when the great
historic drama, "Haman and Mordecai,"
will be given by well-trained local Juvenile
talent. "Haman and Mordecai, in which
Queen Esther, or Hadassah, is the central
figure, is an interesting story of ancient
Oriental times. we'll known to all readers
of sacred history. 1t has been very sue.
cessfully dramatized into a fve-act play
appropriate to the Feast of Purim by Cliff
ton Hardy. The drama is well written;
the designing malice of Hannah, the super
lative diplomacy of Queen Esther, the
dreadful Indignation of the Persian king,
Ahazuerus, at the discovery of Humans
jealous rage at Humans apparent intru-
sion into the domestic sanctity of the
royal palace, the modification and resig-
nation of the deposed queen, Vashti, the
grief and mourning of Mordecai at the
threatened calamity to his unfortunate
people, and his final triumph. and the
precipitate downfall of Hannah are all we'll
