In view of the great Importance of this
| challenge, not only to the citizens of
Omaha, but to the entire civilized world,
! the public will be interested in the outcome
of what may be properly termed a public
| investigation of a discovery that will be-
! come famous and prove of incalculable inn
portance to the great mass of people who
| are suffering in one way and another from
| kidney ailments and other attending ills.
The offer made by Or. Hobbs in his chal-
lenge above alluded to Is a simple and
plainly worded one. In nutshell he as
serts that he has discovered remedy that
will positively cure that most insidious
and common of all complaints. disease of
the Kidneys which is wrecking men and
women by the score daily
The good that can be accomplished by a
positive specific, one that can be admin
istered in a simple and plain way--in other
words, a grand, universal medicine for all
kidney troublcs-wll be hailed as Cod
send everywhere.
The claims made for the remedy in ques-
ton are, speaking in a general sense, that
the Hobbs Remedy Company of Chicago
and San Francisco are the owners Of an
ASPARAGUS KIDNEY REMEDY which
they positively assert will cure all kidney
diseases, with the exception of those where
tumors and ulcers have formed and a sur
gica operation is necessary
1t is not our purpose in this article to
enter into a general discussion of the vast
number of different forms of kidney
troubles. but to treat them as a whole. rs
space in this paper does not permit US to
do otherwise
1t is thought that the only possible way
to publicly determine the value of DIR.
Hobbs discovery is to
GIVE FREE TO ALL
those who are interested in this matter n
sample box of this medicine, and to have
it done in such an open manner that mono
can question the honesty of the test.
For the purpose of making this test n
large number of samples have been sent to

which will be given to any and all per-
sons who will call at our store Thursday.

Salt Lake, May 1.

Dear Hal:
Thousands of mothers walked and
called their darlings early" on this
bright May day, and in so doing played
havoc with the matinees The May
queens sought the allurements Of City
Creek or Saltair, and the theatres were
for once neglected. The Grand Jared
better than the others, though the Gus
tomary throngs were wanting AT the
Lyceum there was a third of house,
and poor Cunning at the theater could
not hypnotic enough boys and girls
to keep the. ushers company, so the
house was not opened at all. and the
few who had invested their quarters
in tickets were given the choice of
having their money back or returning
in the evening. Generally they took
the money. Mr.. Cunning may be gen
uine, but he would command greater
faith in his powers if he would not
make a practice of systematically ap-
pear.ng on the streets with the
strangers" whom he nightly called
up from the audience.
That the season is on the wane is
evident in a hundred ways, and in none
more strikingly than in the 'pegging
OUT seen at the Grand. "Pique'' or
dinarily ought 10 have shown off the
players as admirably as any piece they
ever selected, but on the first night
there was an effect all through very
much like the running down of a clock.
X was all deathly SLOW, and the two
parts that ought to have kept every
thing going Dimple and Gill, were
played with a gentle melancholy which
diffused itself over everyone and
everything else in the whole perform
their roles was almost reVerential.
Later in the week there was an i'm
provement on the part of everyone
principally OF Mr.. Kyle. Miss Bateman
and Mr.. Edwards were good from the
start
We are not to see young Ford's play,
after all. il seems. Mr.. and Mrs
Young of the Home club had con-
sented to appear in it and the printing
was just being gotten ready, when Mr.
Ford stumbled headlOng over the rock
which Mr.. Hatch has been lodging
with such deXterity for 10! these many
weeks. This rock was the question of
the leading man. In Ford's play there
is, unfortunately. only one such in
dividuaI. In Mr.. Rogers company
there are two. Mr.. Edwards did not
wish to make his farewell bow in Salt
Lake in a second role and Mr.. Kyle
shared his views with a unaninity
that was beautiful to behold. Hence
Social Bubbles" must wait for
more favorable conjunction of the
stars, dramatic and otherwise.
