though interesting plot. and the com

story and incidents are patterned after
Shore Acres. One actor in the COM
pany who created a favorable impress
sion is A. Glassford, Sr. His cOncep-
ton OF the honest, forgiving tender
hearted old sea-dog was very fine"
THE FATTED CALF.
In the "Fatted Calf" the story is
somewhat different from the Biblical
tale in many respects. He puts one son
TO saving wood. another to painting
and the third to blowing a ten-acre lot.
The many complications which arise in
the unraveling of this great plot are
simply immense. and the audience is
kept in one continual roar of laughter
from the beginning to the end. II is
the cleanest, pureSt and most refined
comedy ever put on the stage, devoid
of coarse jokes. and can be enjoyed by
young and old alike. 1t will be at the
Opera House Christmas, matinee and
evening. and will be presented by a
competent company.

1t is a caricature of life in Washington.

sophisticated Texan. who is sent to Con-
gress. and he and his family make the
most ridiculous plumbers imaginable.
But they are quick TO catch on" and
everything ends happily. The COM

Miss Virginia Johnson, supported by
Barry ONeil and a complete cast, will

with great success wherever it has been
presented. During the action of the
play all the latest songs and dances
will be introduced. Lovers of high
class Irish comedy drama should avail
themselves of this opportunity, as it
will be their only appearance here this

thing the other day when it spent
Sis and some cents to send a con
gratulatOry cablegram to Bismarck
on his eightieth birthday. Ii the
members wished to cOugra tulate
Bismarck or anybody else, they had
right to do so, but they had no
right to spend the peoples money for
such purpose. They might better

Feig, the author OF the resolution,
seems to think that Bismarck is en-
titled to extra attention for having
been born in the same part Uf the

This is the most remarkable eek
hibition Of toryism of our latter
day Republican party. Who is
Bismarck anyhow? A brilliant
man to he sure, but the very es-
sence Of tyranny and absolute
despotism, the very .personitiea-
ton OF monarchy. He is renown-
ed to-day as the "man OF blood
aud iron.' His wars Of conquest
have dtlueed the neighboring
countries as we'll az the soil OF
Germany with rivers of blood,
and filled Europe with cripples,
and widows and orphans. And
for what? Simply to aegrandize
. the Kaiser andhi family. And
this is the man that the Republi-
can legislature Of Minnesota
falls down to honor! The Rig
stag ofGermany-refussd to honor
him. He is hated among the
common people Of Germany as

rant of tyrants. But the call

1898. How are the Republicans
going to. construct o tariff "from
which enouXh.reve,',,e he OBJ.
tanned to puysthe expenses Of the
governmental" BY putting n duty
OH the. necessaries of life like
sugar, that they took off 'in1690.
Thus the tariff monkey-show goes
ON forever.
This tariff buster Of the two
old parties reminds US OF two
calomel doctors down in a back
woods town in Indiana many
years ago. They were both firm
believers in the onnipotence Of
calomel to cure diseases Of all
kinds and that no other medicine
was worth anything. But they
differed as to the size of doses to
he given. Doctor Jones was a
big dose calomel doctor, and
Doctor Henry was d small dose
frequently repeated calomel doc
tor. So when Doctor Jones had
Il patient that wasn't getting
along and Doctor Henry's opin-
ion was asked he would invari-
ably reply, the medicine is I'LL
right but Doctor Jones gives too
big doses. II Doctor Henry's
patients weren't getting along
Doctor Jones would say, calomel
is the medicine but Doctor Hen
~ gives too small doses. And
thus these two doctors impressed
the people with their profound
disquiSitions on colomel dosolo~
gy until the people believed that
all medical science consisted in
knowing how to give calomel.
Once when they held a consulta-
ton over a patient who had been
doctOred with small doses and
big doses Of calomel and yet was
no better, some one ventured to
ask ii there wasn't some other
medicine that could he used. But
both doctors instantly rose ON
their dignity and demanded to
know who it was that dared to
question their knowledge of ply
sic, and that il a person couldn t
be cured ON calomel he ought to
die. Thus the Republican party
and the Democratic party are
two tariff doctors Uncle Sam
is sick, very sick. The Repub|i-
can party has doctored him with
big doses Of tariff, and the Demo-
cratic party likewise with small
doses of tariff, and yet Uncle
Sam is no better. \ populist
came along and very innocently
asked if there wasn't some other
medicine that would help. But,
10 and behold, both the old tariff

sumo to question our superior

get we'll on ''tariff'' he ought to
die!'
Yes, Barnum knew what he
was talking about when he said
that "the American people liked

away with the necessity of burning
coal. DR.. Borchers of Driesburg, Ger,
saws that he has found that electricity
is generated by the conversion of hydro
carbon and carbonic oxide into carbon
ic acid, and as this is the same thing
that takes place in burning coal, he
accomplishes the same end by themi-
cal means. by what he calls the wet
