KIsMET POORLY PRESENTED.
The Opera Is TunefuI, But the Cast
Jnodeauate-Other attractions

.Kismet." as produced at the Academy
last evening by the Dorr Opera Company,
could hardly be recognized, as Tar as the
cast is concerned, as Carroll and Kerkers
tuneful opera of the Orient.
Gustave Kerker has written bright and
tuneful music, and Richard CAROLS book
Is bright and amusing. With one excep-
tion-Miss May Baleigh-the cast Is weak,
both yocally and histrionically. Miss Bal
eigh is a clever Coincidence, and her voice
Is disnlayed to excellent advantage, partic-
ularly I'm the opening song of the second
act. Edwin Carroll does his best as
Haidez. and lightens the semi-dreariness
caused by the mediocrity OF the balance
Of the cast. ,,,,a
strong All Of the original scenery used
in New York is carried, and the costumes
are pretty. a
Murray and Mack appear at the Acade-
nv this afternoon and night In tneir
farce. "~Ffnnegan's Courtship."' In tneir
support are many clever specially people
and singers.

the fifteenth anniversary Of the organiza-
ton of the Woman's Missionary Society

naIly independent. but for the past seven
years has been a branch OF the Woman's
Auxiliary TO the Board Of Missions. The
branches of all the Episcopal churches in

church. Rev. Mr.. Barr then gave a brief
outline of the history Of the organization,
and the work done by 1t during the past
fifteen years. He also gave a brief state

congregation. He represents a remark
able missionary work don in Brazil du-
ring the past six years by four young men
who went there from the Alexandra
Seminary. He is at present in this oun-
try TO superintend the translation OF the
prayer-book. Mr.. Brown stated that he
desired to say nothing unkind of the Ro-
man Church, but the many incidents he
related were intended to show the need
of the Gospel in Brazil, and his anecdotes
illustrated the heather superstition I'm
which that country Is shrouded. The adj
dress was full OF interest and earnestness.
The offering made at this service is to be
devoted to the work in Brazil.

November Ladies' Home Journal.

"The First Thanksgiving Dinner"
Gillian Bells First Days in London"
and when DR. Whitman Added Three
Stars to Our Flag" are among the
leading features of the November
Ladies Home Journal. The first
tells Of the most historically import
ant dinner in America, at which In
dian chiefs were guests, and at which
oysters were first eaten by white men.
Miss Bell finds much in London to
inspire her pen to it's smartest activi-
ty, and the descriptions of her sight
seeing tours, her impressions and
experiences fairly sparkle with wit.
DR.. Whltman's services to the United
States in saving Oregon, Washington
and Idaho from the British are ac-
knOWledged IN an article which follows
the first women across the continent,
and the first whites over the Rocky
mountains. Magician Keller writes
on "How | Do My Tricks" showing
how simple is their solution when it
is known. The second articleon 'In-
side Of Hundred Homes" is more
attractive and rich in suggestions on
furnishing and fitting up home than
was the excellent inaugural one of the
series. Pianists will be delighted
with the musical feature, "Poet's
Dream Waltzes," by Reginald de
Koven, and people who are home
seeking, with The Journals special
architects plans for 50 200 house
for small square lot. Suggestions
for Christmas presents that can be
made by the giver are timely, as are
articles upon dress, needlework, and
the various departments covering
nearly every phase of home life and
of Woman's work.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
ali unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent
desire to urinate or pain in the back
is also convincing proof that the kid
neys and bladder are cut of order.
WHAT TO Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfil.s every wish in relieving pain in
the back. kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passage
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing 1t, or bad
effects following use OF liquor, wine or
beer. and overcOmes that unpleasant
necessity OF being compelled to get up
many times in the night to urirate The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp Root is soon realized 1t
stands the highest. for its wOnd erful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists5 price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have

Our County Asylum.

The Jefferson Banner gives the fol-
lowing interesting data concerning the
county insane asylum and poor house:
October l, 1896, there were 118
patients in the Jefferson county asy-
lum; October 1, 1897, there were 1913
inmates. OF this last number sixty
four work all day, forty-three half a
day or more, eleven less than a half
day and five do not work at all. In
the poor house last year there were
forty-four people; this year, thirty
nine. The net cost of maintaining the
institution during the past year was
1874. 57-several hundred dollars
less than lastyear, although the numb r
of inmates has been larger. The sum
of $12, 700. As will be received from
the state and other counties, SO that
the actual cost of maintaining the in
mates, both insane and poor, will be
about $1,000. There are on hand
large quantities farm products and
an increased number of cattle available
for use next year, and it is therefore
safe to say that the Jefferson county
asylum and poor house will hencefOrth
be a self-sustaining institution. This
years record reflects credit upon the
management of Superintendent Voigt,
the matron, Mrs. Voigt, and the trus-
tees, 2. G.. Quentmeyer, of Watertown,
E. Rankin, of Fort Atkinson, and John
Reiuel, of this city; while the continued
health of the inmates testifies to the
skill and care that w. W. Reed, the
county physician, has exercised.
