Cloudy, dark colored urine, with

The Original Circus Comedy

"a Night at the Circus" was the first
and original of all the so called ''cir-
Gus" plays to be presented, enjoying
one of the longest runs on record for a
similar production, playing for $50
nights at the Bijou Theatre in New
York to crowded houses, and could
have run for probably the entire sea-
son had not other bookings interfered.
It was then transferred to the Globe
Theatre, Boston, where it met with the
same liberal patronage accorded it in
New York. This comedy, unlike many
Of its imitators which have since been
foisted upon the public, is comedy
and a play in every sense of the term,
and not a succession of cheap acts
thrown together as in the case of many
others.
This splendid comedy will be seen
for the first time in this city on We'd
nesday, January 5, being presented
by M. E. Rice's big company of come
dams. New and elaborate scenery and
effects are carried for the proper pre-
sentation of the play, and the costum-
ing is said to be gorgeous in the ex-
treme, especially in the last act, the
circus scene.

The Public Graded school Entertainment.
Regardless of the intensely disagree
able weather a large audience greeted
the Public School Recital on last We'd
nesday evening and gave undivided at
tention to the interesting program,
which occupied one hour and half.
The classic instrumental music rem
dered by children as young as or s
years of age, received much compli-
mentary notice and the technique of
the pupils was admiringly noted.
The presentation of "The Counting
of Mother Goose" by twenty six pupils
ranging from five to fifteen years was
splendid success and brought forth
repeated and hearty applause. The
heroes and heroines of the Mother
Goose melodies we're presented to us
in flesh and blood. We were carried
back through many years and lived
over again our early childhood.
In the absence of Miss Rosa Seavey,
Miss Leona Eitel was introduced by
Prof. Wilson, the alert and able Prin-
cipal, and this gifted young lady
charmed the audience with a recita-
ton prepared only as class exercise.
"a Sculptor's Dreams" studies,
posing, ETC., under the management Of
Miss Ragsdale, were executed with
powerful effect and were most grace
full and imposing. In fact, too much
cannot be said in praise of Miss Edith
Sherman, the music teacher, Miss
Ragsdale and other teachers who put
forth so much effort and zeal to make
this evening the success it assuredly
was.
The conscientious teacher is pre-
eminently a public benefactor. May
his tribe increase!

of her daughter, Mrs. s. G. Buffalo, in

since made her home, residing most of
the time for the last few years in the
attractive and comfortable home OF

A reporter of THE LEADER visited
the Water Works and Electric Light
plant Tuesday morning to see how
things were going and found the con-
tractors and workmen all busy getting
everything in readiness for an early
start of the machinery. The big Corliss
engine, Worthington pumps, huge
boilers, electric board and wires and
other appointments are in place in the
power house s.Alderman Moreton, who
has had large experience with machin
cry and as a contractor, was present
during the reporters visit inspecting
the work and looking after the eity's
interests. The steel tower is not yet
up, owing to a fire which destroyed
the plant of the company which was to
furnish it, but it has been shipped, and
is expected to arrive this week. The
big brick reservoir is nearly COM
pleted.
1t is now expected that both water
works and electric lights will be ready
to turn over to the city early in Janu-
airy. 1t is probable that the electric arc

Don't think because you are sick and
nothing seems to give you relief that you
can't be cured.
There must be cure for you some
where.
If your doctor cant cure you, perhaps
he has mistaken the cause. Anybody is
liable to make a mistake sometimes.
One in three of us suffer from indiges-
ton, and one out of three dyspeptics
doesn't know it. That is, he may know
he is sick, but he blames it to something
else.
Indigestion is the cause of half of our
dangerous diseases.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, made from
tonic medicinal roots and herbs, is the
most natural cure for indigestion. 1t

and not salt, ass it is now. This was
when the cath was in its first youth
and before there was any land showing
at all on any animal life in the water.
AT this time the water was gradually

and the salts were slowly undergoing
the change from gases into solids. Then
came the appearance Of land. and later

more and more salts while at the bot
