We repeat that there are no good
grounds yet toinduce the editor Of

grave doubts on the subject" At

opponents charged that the road
I would not be built, but that was
met with SO positive assurances.

Itself, that it was not long publicly
urged. One Indirect statement in
the Democrat seems particularly I'M
warranted, and If made directly
would certainly be ISLANDER which
no self-respecting person could
tolerate. It Is: s.5s
ssThere are many people who firmly
believe that the Weyerhaeuser peO-
pie never serio usly contemplated
building the road, but anted the
bonds voted to be used as a club to
force the Northern Pacific company

The Transcript will not believe that
any member Of the Weyerhaeuser
syndicate would be guilty Of such
fraudulent and dishonorable con-
duct-nor do we believe that any 81
the members would care to continue

po1r's WONDERLAND rHEArER.

On all sides is heard praise of the excellent performance that is being given this week at Polls Wonderland theater. Mr. Watson and Miss Hutch- ings, who head the bill, make fun by the wholesale in their bright German comedietta, with it's bright situations and startling finish Edwin Latell also keeps everybody in jolly humor with his catchy comedy and splendid execu- tion on many musical instruments. MT. Latell excels particularly on the saxo- phone and last evening he made a hit on bhe disappointed politicians in the audience by playing "The Heart Bowed Down." The singing done by the Met ropolitan Three is exceptionally good. This act Is of added interest also for the reason that Miss Adele Reno, one of the three, is a native of this city, being known as the phenomenal child pianist in her early life in New Haven, Altogether 1t is one of the best per- formances of the season at the Wonder land.

CLOSE OF THE PEOPLES, COURSE.

A story illustrated from life and en- dorsed by Howells, stedman, Stockton and Matthews forms the closing feat ure of the closing entertainments given at the Grand avenue Congregational church this fall A spectator said that one seemed to see the figures move, and it was hard to believe that MT Depew was not actually sitting there talking to Miss Jerry. MT. Depew posed for this scene in his private office at the Grand Central station. The outdoor scenes include Fifth avenue by moon- light, Broadway, Madison Square, etc, and through all is woven charming love story. The story has had great success and is the novelty of the season. This closing entertainment in the Peo- ple's course will be given at the Grand avenue Congregational church Thurs day evening"

GRAND OPERA Housr.

The Grand Opera house was packed again last night to see the Struggle of Life" The scenery used in this pro- duction is very fine. First, the eyes fall on a scene of wealth and luxury, where the interior of mansion of one of our large city princes is actually town to City Hall Park, a picture true in every detail, its perspective showing Park Row, home of the giant daily newspapers, in the mid-distance stands the celebrated city hall, the home of Tammany, and the foreground is Broad way, the city's great commercial ar tery; then we are carried to Battery Park, fine view of the harbor shipping and the Statue of Liberty; uptown again to Fifth avenue, the famous cathedral, then down by the river front to the Thieves Delmonico att Rutgers Slip, where the lights of Brooklyn are re- t1ected in the river, spanned by the world famous bridge-all these scenic pictures are reproduced with "a re- markable degree of accuracy, while the acting company is the best ever seen in the play.
 The election returns were read be- tween Ithe acts by Press Agent E. G.. Morton. There will be a matinee to- day. Prices, 10 cents. 20 cents and 25 cents.
 1.-The Cotton King will be the at- traction the last three days this week. There is every reason why 1t should meet with popular success again, hay ing played in Boston over three months, also New York and Chicago, and the press of each city conceded it to be the best melodrama presented for years, and for it's present road tour Manager Brady has secured a perfect com- pany.

Entertainments.
HYPERION.


 The Boston Herald of September IS in an editorial pays the following com pliment to "The Fatal Card" which will be seen tonight: "The Boston Museum has seldom been so jammed as It was Monday night, and the mo- ments of dense darkness, with the clamor of the gallery gods, the rattle and bang of the orchestra, produce a sensation from which one does not easily recover. From the moment the curtain rose till it fell on as original last acb as has been written, 1t was a night not to be forgotten. No wonder The Fatal Card has drawn fortune. Messrs. Chambers and Stephenson have hit the popular taste by force of novel situations, the deepest dyed crime and bright comedy business. Everybody within radius of twenty miles of Boston will travel to town to see The Fatal Card.'" Sale of seats now open.
 Thomas Q. Seabrooke seems to have made a great success in his latest pro- duction, Baby Mine" which comes to the Hyperion Friday and Saturday evenings, The Chicago Chroncile wax ed enthusiastic in speaking of MT. Sea- brooke's engagement there, and said: 'If he were not a comedian, we should say MT. Seabroolle was a hypnotist, so positive is his power to interest and ententain spectators. or course, be- hind all, is the gift of heaven of humor without which, the greatest actor can not be comedian" Sale of seats now open.

DIGESTION AND WORK.
How Sick People May Save Their
 EuRrRN.

How Sick People May Save Their
 Euergy.
 It Is as hard work for some people to digest their dinner as 1t is for a normal man to walk ten miles,
 After dinner rest awhile" This is an old saying. It means that If after eating heavy meal you try to do hard work you will exhaust all your energy. There will be none left for your stom- ach. Your stomach needs energy to work just as your leg or arm does,
 Sick people want energy, They sell dom have enough for their stomach. Their digestion is out of order and they want to know the reason. It's simple enough as we have told 1t.
 What they ought to do is to save their stomachs from hard work until it is capable of doing it, just as they rest their tired backs by lying down.
 This they can do by using artifcially ddgested food. Shaker Digestive Cor dial contains such food. not only this, but 1t Is capable of digestlng other foods in the stomach.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial affords nourishment and creates new energy as soon as it is swallowed. Ordinary food first has to be digested. Shaker Digestive Cordial while creating new energy does not expend any. It gives the stomach no work to do. It will make thin people fat. Sick people are naturally thin. Getting thin is a sign of sickness. A person may be born thin. and naturally remain so. Such a one is not necessarily sick. All drug gists keep it and 10 cent sample | bottle may first be tried.
