don't half express it On all hands

of laughter with his singing, dancing.
and general line of Irish comicali-
ties. Miss Maud Werner was an
agreeable surprise to the audience as
no one supposed there was an artistic
of her ability in the troupe. She has
a remarkably sweet voice, and sings
the most difficult music. The banjo
and tamborine playing was excellent.
We should like to speak more par
ticularly of this troupe, but have not
the space; but we will say that
every lady and gentleman corrected
with the show is an artis of ability.
Should Mal,nsy ever visit our town

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable Science has proven Ca
tarrh to be a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address,
