GrandOpera House,

The performance of "The Charity Balr' at the Grand last night by Waite's Comedy company was as mark ed in it's artistic work as that of ''The Wife" the previous evening. Miss Leigh, Gordon Edwards, Alex. Gaden, Lee Sterrett and the balance of the cast evidenced fitness for the parts play ed. The speciality of Miss Kent, and MT. Kelly was very pleasing. Scenery and appointments were appropriate and gave the play a prominence in it's de- tails that was pleasing. A large au- dience was present, and each act re- ceived repeated curtain calls. This af- ternoon for the matinee "The Wife' will receive it's second and last repre- sentation and tonight the romantic drama of Hazel Kirke." Tomorrow night Mansfelds play "A Social High wayman," will receive a representation at the hands of this company that will give pleasure to those present.

\ BARDAROUS SURGICAL OPERATION
For the Cure of Piles

Is not only intensely painful, danger ous to life and very expensive, but in the light of modern medical research and since the discovery of the Pyramid Pile Cure, a surgical operation is wholly unnecessary. If you have any doubt on this point kindly read the fol- lowing letters from people who know that our claims regarding the merits of the Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out by the facts.
 From N. A. Stall, Ridge Road, Mi agara Co.,, N. Y: received your Pyr- amid Pile Cure and tested it last night. It did me more good than anything I have ever found yet, and remember this was the result of one nights treat ment only.
 From Penn w. Arnett Batesville, Ark: Gentlemen-Your Pyramid Pile Cure has done me so much good in so short time that my son-in-law, Capt T. J. Klein of Fort Smith, Ark, has written me for your address, as he wishes to try it also.
 From A. F. Townsend, Benville, Ind: have been so much benefited by the Pyramid Pile Cure that I enclose s100 for which please send a package
 
 mine who suffers very much from piles. From John H. Wright, Clinton, De- Witt Co.,, Ills: I am so well pleased with the Pyramid Pile Cure that think it but right to drop you a few lines to inform you it's effects have been all that I could ask or wish.
 From P. A. Bruton, LlanO, Tex: Gen tlemen-The Pyramid Pile Cure has done so much good for me that I will say for the benefit of others that after using only two days l am better than I have been for months.
 The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by Tine Pyramid Drug Go. of Albion, Mich. and it is truly a wonderful remedy for all forms of piles. So great has been the number of testimonial letters re- ceived by them from all parts of the country that they have decided to pub fish each week number of such let ters and never use the same letter twice: but only fresh letters will be published.
 All druggists recommend the Pyra- mid Pile Cure, as they know from what their customers say that TO remedy gives such general satisfaction.

Mile. Troja continues the great favor ite she first made herself on Monday at Polls Wonderland theater. Comedi- ennes who make their ripest successes in music halls do not always succeed in winning favor in family theaters, such as the Wonderland is, but Troja easily adapts herself to her new surroundings, and while curbing a bit her natural bubbling spirits. is yet dashing enough and gingery to catch the popular taste. Her audiences have been large and will doubtless so continue to the close of her engagement. The supporting company includes Professor Parker with his dogs, Miss Nellie Burt, MT.
