ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This is the manner in which Charles H.
Hoyt announces his play, "a Milk White
Flag" on his program: "Hoyt's contribu-
tion to dramatic literature entitled, after
due consideration "A Milk White Flag and
its battle-scarred followers on the field of
Mars and in the court Of Venus. tribute
to our citizen soldiers by one who would
gladly join their ranks II he knew how to
dance. The field of battle is not necessarily
st. Albans, Vt, or Harrisburg Pa. but a
town of that deliciously provincial character
was in the authors thoughts as he wrote.
People here may imagine it GAINESVILLE, o.,
or Oshkosh, Wis"
Richard Mansfield comes to Omaha on
Friday and Saturday evenings Of next week.
He will appear at the Creighton theater,
presenting two of his most famous and best
known plays. On Friday evening he will
be seen in Beau Brummell," ani on Satur'

Partisan Romance" There will be no Satur-
day matinee.
The company which supports Mr.. Mansfield
during this engagement is known as the
New York Garrick Thester Stock company.
1t is the organization which the actor had
engaged for his projected long stay at his
own metropolitan play house. He was to
have opened at the Garrick in the early
autumn and produced in rapid succession
a number of new plays. but his serious and
prolonged Illness compelled him to abandon
all these plans. In the company are Beatrice
Cameron, Jennie Eustace, Johnstone Bennett,
Eleanor Carey, Alice Leigh. Cora Lamson,
ID. II. Harkins Orrin Johnson, Edmund Ly
ons A. G. Andrews w. N. Griffith, j. w.

four-night engagement at the Creighton, with
a low-priced matinee tomorrow. This pro-
duction has met with pronounced success dur

MARY SULLIVAN HOUND OVER.
She is Held ON Two Charges of
Burglary.


Mary Sullivan, the female burglar, was
ARA gned before Judge Gordon yesterday
afternoon on the charge of having entered
the residence Of Mrs Mamie Mathews, from
which she took $50 worth of household
goods and dresses. and also the residence
Of C. II. Sobotker of Kountze Place, from
which she stole SAT worth of clothes. She
waived examination, and was bound over
to appear in the district court, the bonds
in each case being placed at 81 900. Her
attorney attempted to induce her to dyulge
the names Of her accomplices, II any, but
failed, the woman stating that she entered
the houses alone, and that she carried away
most of the stuff in installments. The bulk
of the booty secured by Mrs. Sullivan con-
sisted Of women's wearing apparel and house
furnishings. The police are inclined to be-
lieye her statements, most of the ar
ticles stolen would be Of no value to a
man, and would be difficult Of disposition.

block in the city can show such a rec.
ord. This particular block is bounded
by Virginia and Georgia avenues, Mason
and Pacific streets. 1t has been SCI
lected by the several owners of these
houses because of its modern attracs
tions viz: fine natural trees. convenience
of motor, excellent neighborhood. best
schools and churches in the city, but
principally because it is the cheapest
residence property on the market to,

chased lots and built residences. They
are more than pleased. We have left
two lots on Georgia avenue and six on
Virginia avenue, which we will sell al
40 per cent of the normal value. The

He says there have been some calam-
itous protests from saloonkeepers
But their kicks will have no tendency
toward making him swerve from the
stand he has taken against the
corruptness Of the city's moral
condition-so the mayor declares.

Nyith a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
~ removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. Its therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note VIXEN you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laXa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best. and with
the well-informede everywhere. Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
