IMPORTANT
TO MEN.
Dangerous Symptoms.

Many men become se1ually weak early in life.
or at least pri6r TO old age. Some because Of
dissipation or high living; some because of
worry over bad crops business reverses fnan-
cial failures; some because OF marital exeesses;
but by far the larger PORTION OF these who are
premaiurely weak. debiiitated. or impotent in
thcir sexual organs, have become so through
carly habits Of youth

Old DR.. Hallock wondeIful Electric Pills. Age

youth.
LOST MANHOOD may be conveniently divided
| into three stages. a. follows:
First stage-The mIia trouble is involuntary
night drains. which are usually accompanied
by dreams. They are terrible drain upon the

THINGS THEATRICAL

r
Although nearly year has elapsed
since Haley's Band was last heard here.
no notable differences were manifested
yester-evening when the organization ap-
peared before a very large house at the
Columbia The popular director had
taken to himself some flesh and few
medals, while the men under. his baton
exhibited some little lack of practice,
but otherwise no changes were either
visible or audible, The performance was
a most enjoyable one from every point OF
view and was appreciated to the utmost.
The applause evoked was so hearty and
SO constant that many numbers We're
thrice encored and at least one repeated
as often.
A detracting point in the entertain
ment was its excess of vocal music.
Without criticising the singers them
selves. it may be said that when people
go to hear band concert they want rs
much band music as possible. There
was some roughness noticed in the in
strumental portion, too, principally
among the cornets, but the entertain
ment, as a whole, reflected plainly the
genius of the leader and the skill! of his
musicians, Nothing more pleasurabIe
has been heard here in a long time.
The program itself consisted largely of
classic numbers. the popular ones being
reserved for encores. Sousas Rifle Reg
iment" was the first given and, was fol-
lowed by Gomez's "Guaranny,' a new
composition of merit-eccentric as any
thing Reeves ever did, and with
a thoroughly Herbertesque swing,
Both were well played, though the
attack of the one was poor.
AS an encore for the other a
rather peculiar arrangement of "At a
Georgia Camp Meeting was rendered
and evoked considerable enthusiasm. In
response TO this, came The Cocoarut
Dance" and then a selection called of
fenbachania' on the program, but more
Familiarity known as Overture Or
pheus," or-still more popularly-''The
Can-Can." One of Sousa's marches fol-
lowed-this as gratuity to the appreci-
ative audience-and. after some vocal
music, Bosquets Souvenir of Baden"
a promenade, pride of the Regiment,
newly written and dedicated to Maj.
Urell and the laughable and difficult
Arkansas Regiment, with the North
and South patrol for an encore. A. rem
dering of THE Huguenots and The
Star Spangled Banner" brought the in
strumental part of the program to an
end
The vocal portion included solo and
two encore numbers by Blanche Muir,
whose delightful contralto was then
heard TO exceptional advantage. The
Dying Rose Dear Heart, 1 Love
YOU and He Loves Me-He Loves Me
Not" were the ballads sung. In addi-
tion to these the Philharmonic Club gave
an air and chorus from "Stabat Mater. "
with F. AtLee as soloist, and a chorus
from THE Redemption with Mrs. Anna
Craig Hills serving in the same capacity;
and the Philharmonic Quartet-Mrs.
Hills, II. Nye, f. Whitford and Mrs, C.
b. Keene-contributed Annie Laurie"
with other old songs. l.. Facins was the
accompanist of the evening.

One of the LATEST men the country can
claim is William Ranous, who plays the
Indian in "a Stranger In Strange
Land" There are few theatrical people
on the road who cannot tell dozen or
more stories on the comedian and several
of them reflect strongly upon his desire
to give work wide path when he meets
it on the highway. Mr.. Ranous has made
speciality of doing character parts and,
through some strange coincidence, most
of them have been savages. Some years
ago when first he began professional
life, he was appearing as an individual
known as Chief Go-to-War. in melo-
drama then being presented in one of
New York's less important playhouses.
The role was a small one and the per-
formers principal duty was to stand
around the entrances and look grim.
There were about three scenes in which
he had vocal share. and there was no
written record of these. When they
came Mr.. Ranous simply jumped about
the stage in his best imitation of a war
dance and composed words that sounded
different from anything he had ever
heard before. The lines were never the
same two nights running, but they i'm
proved in picturesqueness right along and
the portrayal was said to be tremendous
ly effective. So strong relief did the
character afford, indeed, that the COM
pany's manager one day determined that
the finale of the second act would be
greatly helped by having his Indian
standing in the background repeating
wild, weird words to himself. Once
thought out the idea seemed good one
and Mr.. Ranous was sent for.
When he arrived at the Office the pan
was explained to him and the new mat
ter mentioned. Gust stand to one side -
directed his employer. land repeat to
yourself mpressively that jargon you
get OFF in the first act
What jargon?" asked Mr.. Ranous
with a trace e-of anger
why" replied the manager perplex-
edly. that run of stuff-that Ugh! Ugh.
Ugh, Tantalamitchikitchi Ugh!"
The comedian looked at the ven.urer
from whom he drew his salary for full
minute without answering, and then he
rose and left the room. HELL" some 3ne
near the door heard him say Hell!
More lines to learnp'
And that is how Mr.. Ranous first got
the reputation of being a lazy man.

Olga Nethersoie, the brilliant young
English emotional star who Is one of
Washington's strongest social and theatri-
cal favorites, comes next week TO the La
fayette Square with n repertoire that In
cludes The Termagant." a new me-
diaeval romance by Louis y. Parker and
Murray Carson, produced for the first
time in America last Tuesday night at
the Chestnut Street Opera House. Phila-
delphia. The play concerns in a fanciful
way the period Immediately following the
discovery of America by Columbus, and
has for its chief personages Princess
Beatrix of Moya. and Roderigo. a titled
mariner. who accompanied the great Ital-
ian in his memorable voyage into un-
known seas. The piece is in four acts that
are chaptered 1.-The Court OF Love- The

the princess. young woman of ftful

and courtesans in the period pictured, she

an. This is practically the commence
ment of the tale that runs a varying
gamut of love, passion. hate. Jealousy, re-
venge and death. The scenery is reported
to be the most picturesque brought to
America since Irving's productions.
Another novelty of Miss Nethersole' s
week here will be her appearance in THE

one Of which was numbers and lack Of
room, Eggleston post followed. Yester-
day lot of the old boys got together and
organized a third, which IS 10 be a semi
military organization and will be known
as the General George II. Thomas Com
mand, No. p
Whether Eggieston post was born Of
difficulties IN Garfield or not, peace waves
have not always chased each other across
the common life of the two as merrily as
might be since they were formed. and
whether the Thomas Command came from
expressed diversity of opinion in the other
two, it is and from now on becomes part
OF the history of the city. How the organ
ization all came about is nobody's bust
ness in particular and nobody's concern.
They are here to continue the memories
of the great war. to promote the common
interests of the fast decreasing grand

WILL They ORGANIZE AGAIN
Question as to Wichita sha
Have National Guard.

What is TO become of the National
Guard, is a question discussed now in
Wichita and over the state. Now that
everything has settled down in the old
time rut, since the close of the late war.
there is some speculation as TO what Will
be done about recognizing these COM
panies. Just how much or how little in
terest will be taken in the movement by
the young men of the state is not known.
Some believe that the recent war has 50
revived interest in mihtay affairs that
more interest than ever before will be
taken in the National Guard.
II is certain that more interest is taken
in military matters. Young men who en-
listed when the caH for troops was made
found great need for study and practice
OF military tactics. Some who were
elected TO command found that 1t took
several months 20 prepare themselves
for the places. II is a study that has been
neglected in this country because no one
had any idea that there would ever be
another war. The recent experience has
beyond all question caused great interest
to be taken in military matters. Young
men have desire TO be capable soldiers
and the work of drilling companies viii
have a new meaning. at least until the
late war Is forgotten.
In spite Of these facts. however, there
are some who believe that the treatment
Of the Kansas National Guards. when they
were held aside that political debts might
be paid, has quite disguised the young
men of the state with any attempt at
keeping up the orga nization-
Ii is a substantiated fact that unless
some provisions are made whereby those
who spend their time 4 military study
and practice are assured a preference over
those who do not. the young men viii not
be anxious TO enlist. and viii deny their
support in keeping up the guard

SHE TOOK POISON
lettie Campbell Tired of Her
Troubles.
ENDS HER OWN LIFE
By a Dose of Morphine
Lived Eight Hours

Lettie Campbell. colored woman prob
IDLY Is years Old. living at 3l5 South
Fourth avenue. died yesterday at 12:s5
from the effects of dose Of morphine.
The coroner's jury, which gave in its
verdict at ? O'Clock. said: I'VE find upon
evidence that Letrie Campbell died from
poison administered by her own hands"
The jury consisted of DIR. Hosk1ns, ]. z.
Mclaughlin. David Smock.. Percy Halo
well, Douglass Donnelly, and Lee Storms.
The only witness examined was Thomas
Otis. colored man. who works at the
Carey hotel.
The Campbell woman was a married wo-
man and once lived with her husband,
Tom Campbell in the country about En-
poria, the two working on ranch. They
fell out and Mrs. Campbell came down
here and began life down on South
Fourth A few days ago Tom Campbell
came here and tried to get her TO go back
and live with him, but she refused. he
then threatened to shoot her and made
ouch boisterous demonstrations that he
had to be locked up in the city jail.
This trouble with her husband was sup
posed to be the direct cause Of Lettie
Camp5elrs suicide, but Tom Otis, who
was with her night before last and tried
10 save her life, says that she wac once a
morphine fiend; that since she quit the
hab8tual use of the drug she would threat
en- to kill herself with il eervy time she
got a little mad. Once he said he guarded
her in the house all day to keep her from
going out and getting some of the drug
with which she threatened to kill herself
He finally got tired tired trying to restrain
her and let her go.
She went up town, got a three-ounce
phial of which she took about one-third,
and went to bed Thursday night about
O'Clock she went and got some morphine
and took large dose OF II. Otis worked
with her. whipping her with towels and
sIapping her face till he thought she was
out of danger. He worked with her at
intervals all night when she appeared TO
breathe heavily. At O'Clock yesterday
morning she began % call fer something
TO eat Shortly, however. she began TO be
5r-owsy again and spit blood. \ physician
was summoned and some remedies were
given her. but Mrs. Campbell got weaker
and brewster, till she was dead, at 1886
o'clock
She may have been simply tired Of her
trouble, or took the morphine out OF habit
without any intention of killing herself.
