Polls Wonderland Theater.

War news and vaudeville may seem a queer collection to entertain, but it certainly does delight the large audi ences at the Wonderland. People seem to feel like having a medium as occa- sion for displaying their war fever. Since the battle of Manila this fever has become more intense, and the pie lures afford a stirring series worthy of cheers and applause. The Gushing in action, the Iowa in war paint with a prize, the drills at Chickamauga, in- cluding a most thrilling attack of cav airy upon battery in action, the Span ish troops in Havana, pictures of the president, Acting Rear Admiral Dewey and other notables are winners of such applause that the living actors of the vaudeville have to do well to gain the equal

Grand Opera House.

FUN FOR THE THEATER-GOER
 "The Dazzler' is a dazzler. "It's the b,st thing I ever saw," was the com pliment paid by every one who was at the Grand opera house last night. "The Dazzler' is the best farce comedy that has been seen in this city, and those who were present last night laughed until their sides ached. In the compa- ny which presented it are some genuine artists in their respective lines. Will liam West as Ezekiel Pipes, man with history, is very good. He is a come dian of the first water and is gifted with a strength which enables him to perpetrate some of the most laughable tricks upon his co-actors, and is a sing CT of no mean ability; in fact, he brought down the house with the man.

OBITUARY NOTES.
Mrs. J. Y. Leonard,


 The many friends of Mrs. Amelia A. Leonard will be pained to learn of her decease Sunday afternoon, May 1, at Bristol, Tenn. Mrs. Leonard was the widow of Rev. Julius Yale Leonard, for nearly twenty-five years a missionary of the American Board in Marsovan, Turkey. MT. and Mrs. Leonard went out in 1857, and were indefatigable in their labors there. The sad lack of suitable physicians at that time and the great need that existed for them, induced Mrs. Leonard to give attention to medical treatment and so successful was she that many sought to avail themselves of her skill. In this way and by her many endearing qualities of mind and heart she gained wide in- f1uence, which she used to direct many to the higher life. During the latter part of her stay, she accompanied her husband on touring journey to parts which proved unfavorable to health. The germs of disease never left her and since her return to her native land she has been engagd in a continual strug gle for health. The past winter she spent in Macon, Ga., removing a few weeks since to Bristol, Tenn. Here a fall in her room caused fracture of the thigh and in her feeble health she was unable to sustain the shock.
 After lingering for ten days she passed to the spirit world, whither MT. Leonard had preceded her four years since. Funeral services will be held later in the week.

A Hundred Reasons

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the best and most effectual cure for any form of indigestion.
 They are in Tablet form which re- tains their good qualities indefinitely, while liquid preparations become stale and useless with age.
 They are convenient, can be carried in the pocket and taken when needed. They are pleasant to the taste.
 After each meal dissolve one or two of them in the mouth and, mingling with the food, they constitute a per- feet digestive, absolutely safe for the most sensitive stomach.
 They digest the food before it has time to ferment, thus preventing the formation of gas and keeping the blood
 pure and free from the poisonous pro- ducts of fermented, half digested food. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the complexion clear by keeping the blood pure.
 They increase flesh by digesting fesh-forming foods Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only remedy designed especially for the cure of stomach troubles and nothing else.
 One disease, one remedy, the success ful physician of to-day is the special ist, the successful medicine is the med icine prepared especially for one dis ease.
 A whole package taken at one time would not hurt you, but would simply be waste of good material. Over six thousand men and women in the state of Michigan alone have been cured of indigestion and dyspepsia by the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- | lets.
 Sold by all druggists at 50 cents per | package.
