THE GOLD KING.
Presented to a Fair Sized Audience
by the Spooner Company.


At the Grand last evening the
Spooner Dramatic Company pre-
sented a sensational comedy drama
in four acts, entitled, "The Gold
King" to a fair sized and very
appreciative audience. The scene
of the play is laid principally around
the Sing Sing prison, and some very
pretty and attractive scenery was
displayed. In this piece each chal-
acter has an opportunity OF dis
playing his or her ability. There
was not a weak character in the
entire cast.
]. H. Bessey, as Jack Goodman,
and ]. H. Lewis, as Squire Ludlow,
were both very good indeed.
F. E. Spooner, as Dennis Nc
Carthy, a son of old Ireland, caused
much amusement for the specta-
tors.
Miss Allie Spooner, as Ellie was
good. She againintroduced mum
Der of pretty songs and dances,
which were heartily enjoyed.
Those who missed this perform
ance missed a rare treat, Tor you
have spent dollar after dollar wit
Messing performance not half so
good. We are confident that not
one person left the Grand last
evening the least dissatisfied, but
on the other hand highly enter
tanned and much pleased with the
evenings entertainment.
The Spooner Dramatic Company
is one of the strongest repertoire
organizations that has visited our
city in many years, and deserved a
packed house at each performance.
At the Ghio's Opera House all

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.

The East side public school had
three distinguished visitors yester-
day to spend the biggest part of
the day in the school room. They
were Prof. Junius Jordan, State
School Superintendent, Prof. Fly,
of the American Book Company,
and William Mullins, President of
the School Board Of this city. They
visited every room, and Prof. Allen
Winham did his best to entertain
them, and they left, seemingly
well pleased at the way our school
was managed by Prof Winham.
Pros. Jordan and Fly left today
for Richmond, Arkansas to visit a
teachers institute now in session
at that place. The Professor met
many of his friends here and made
new acquaintances, and all were
pleased with him that met him.
The old story of Prometheus is a
parable. Prometheus was on terms
of intimacy with the gods From
them he stole fire, and gave it to
men. For this sin he was bound to
the rocks of Mount Caucasus, and
vultures were set upon him. They
only ate his liver, This grew again
as fast as it was pecked away. Are
his sufferings to be imagined?
Take a modern Interpretation of
the parable. There is no cooking
without fire. In cooking and eating
the mischief lies. The stomach is
overtasked, the bowels become clog
ged, they cannot dispose of the
food that is given them. The inn
purities back upon the liver. Then
come the vultures the torments of
a diseased liver. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is more than
equal to the vultures of dyspepsia
and it's kindred diseases. There is
no more need Of suffering from
dyspepsia than there is of hanging
ones self. Sold by all medicine
