1t now appears that the recent election
in Arkansas shows large Republican
gains from the vote of 1891. Instead of
the Democratic plurality being 10000 as
WAS reported, early, it is but 36,G40.
Democratic leaders say this was caused
by many Democrats remaining away
from the polls because Col. Jones. the
candidate for governor, proclaimed from
the stump that he would not have sup
ported the Chicago nominee had he been

4 MISER'S TREASURE

The miser lay on his dying bed.
And no voice by him made moan;
No prayer was said, and no tears were she'd
He died as he lived alone;
And his u embling fingers, damp and cold,
Drew the iron band away
From the guarded casket, stained and old,
Where his boarded treasures lay.
But his death. dimmed eyes in the fading light
Looked not on the rubies rare,
Nor the deep-sea pearls, nor the diamonds
bright
That an empress well might wear.
A nd the gold that he erstwhie loved so mucn,
That he periled his soul to gain
Was brushed aside with a careless touch,
And a glance of cold disdain.
And when strangers looked on the dead in awe
In his close-clasped lev hands
Not GOlconda's flashing gems they saw,
Nor the gold of Afric's sands;
And no Jewels fair beyond compare
Tween the fingers stiff shoDe through,
But golden trcss of a woman's hair
In ribbon of faded blue.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treat

damon AND
PYTHIAS. !"
Played by the Sanford Dodge
Lyceum Company of
Minneapolis.

The romatic drama of Damon and
Pythias was written by John Banim,
an Trishman. nearly century ago.
Since that time of its first production,
it has been one of the most popular
plays in the English language. 1t
has been called tragedy, but this
term for it is misnomer, as it is in
reality beautiful romatic drama.
Great credit is due Morris Lodge
No. 1O8 Knights of Pythias, who have
arranged with the Sanford Dodge
Lyceum Co. for the performance of
this great play in our city. 1t is SO
seldom that theatrical companies able
to produce a performance of this
nature stops in town of this size.
Il will be dramatic treat which no
one can afford to miss, and which will
be remembered long by all who have
an opportunity to witness it.
The character of Damon in this
play has been assumed by such great
actors as Forrest and Mccullough,
and is being played at the present
time by Frederick Ward, Louis James,
Robert Downing and many others.
The great popularity of the play
Damon and Pythias" lies in the fact
that the sentiment which it represents
is that of true friendship.
Some years ago gentleman attend
ed performance of this drama given
by the Edwin Forrest Company, and
being so impressed by the wonderful
lesson of friendship which he saw
exemplifed by the scenes of the play,
that his mind would not rest until
the order called Knights of Pythias
was founded. This order soon
became as popular as the play, and
now there are hundred thousands of
brave men teaching the lessons of
friendship as further exemplifed by
their prototypes, Damon and Pythias
in the old city of Syracuse more than
two centuries ago.
Morris Lodge No. 108 Knights of
Pythias take great pleasure in offer
ing this beautiful entertainment to
the people of Morris
There is not line or scene that
does not carry with it the impression
Of ennobling manhood and woman
hood. and no one can attend a per-
Torrance of this play without being
benefited thereby.
The effort of bringing this company
to our city entails no little expense,
and it is to be hoped that all who are
interested in seeing first-class enter
tainment, will secure tickets for
themselves and friends and see to it
that the opera house is packed to the
doors.
Do not forget the date, Thursday
night, April 23rd, 1896.

the lodge. The committee appointed
to take special charge are: G. Z.
